Chapter: 3353

Chen Zhonglei suddenly blurted out with a hint of unconsciousness, "I haven't lost!"

Ye Chen laughed and retorted, "Oh, you haven't lost? Then after you've taken your losses, why do you still glare at me and bang your fist on the table? Is this not losing or what? Can this be the heart of four great warlords of Wàn Lóng Diàn?"

Chen Zhonglei didn't expect Ye Chen's words to be so sharp, and he was filled with anger but didn't know how to express it.

He also knew that on the battlefield, defeat is defeat, regardless of the tactics used by the opponent. It's not a reason for one's own failure.

One couldn't ask him why his people were hiding behind cover or setting up traps to kill so many brothers of mine.

If he asked such questions, he would be losing face not only for himself but also for Wàn Lóng Diàn.

So, he could only grit his teeth and point at Ye Chen, saying, "Alright! You're quite capable! I'll remember you!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, saying, "You'd better remember it well."

At this moment, the government army commander who had been silent all along spoke up to mediate, saying, "Okay, okay, we're here to negotiate, not to quarrel. Let's get back on track and move forward quickly!"

He smiled and said, "Alright, let's get to the point. I'll start by saying what our core demands are for this round of negotiations."

The government army commander hastily said, "Okay, go ahead!"

He spoke sincerely: "Firstly, we're willing to negotiate a ceasefire with you, provided you lift the siege on us and maintain a distance from us, without encroachment."

Chen Zhonglie heard these words and immediately retorted in anger: "What a joke! You think we'll give up just because of your one sentence? Why should we? If we gave up, would you be willing to surrender?"

He smiled and said: "We're all adults now. Let's not talk like children. Surrender is never possible, nor will it ever be."

Chen Zhonglie saw him mocking his naivety and scolded with indignation: "What do you mean? I'm naive for suggesting you surrender, but you're not naive when we refuse to give up?"

He gave him a cold stare and said: "I've already explained this. This is the first condition. You should know what 'first' means. It's just a preliminary condition. Do you understand?"

Chen Zhonglie could no longer restrain his anger, shouting at the top of his lungs: "What are you coming here to negotiate or provoke us for?"

Chen Zhonglie was stirred to anger, and Ye Chen smiled instead, saying with a nostalgic expression: "Oh, I suddenly think of someone who asked me similar questions a year and a half ago. She asked if they came to celebrate or borrow money, and even said that you just now look like her in the way you spoke."

Chen Zhonglie coldly rebuked: "If you can lend money at someone's birthday party, then you're really capable of doing whatever!"

Ye Chen sighed: "Yes, it's really quite capable. No one would want to borrow money in such a situation unless there was no choice. But back then, I had a savior who fell ill and needed funds urgently, so I had to swallow my pride and try."

Chen Zhonglie's expression eased slightly, but he coldly said: "Alright, nobody wants to listen to your story. Let's get down to business!"

Ye Chen smiled and began: "Okay, let's get down to business. What we've been saying is that both sides need to agree on the terms of surrender. This is a preliminary condition. On the basis of you satisfying this condition, our second condition is that the entire Wanlong Temple must leave Syria completely."

"Grass!" Chen Zhonglie suddenly became enraged.

He stood up, his finger almost touching Ye Chen's nose, gritting his teeth and yelling: "You're messing with me?! Not only are you making us surrender, but also making us leave Syria? Who gave you the courage to speak to me like this?! You must be too reckless to consider my Wanlong Temple at all!"

Ye Chen spoke coldly: "I never put your Wanlong Temple in my mind. Making you leave Syria is not because I want to kill many of you, but because I want to give you a chance to survive! This is pity for you, dear! You're so big and still don't understand this?" JrNovels.com
