Chapter: 3376

"There's no hidden agenda?" Wan Ba Jun cursed angrily: "Have you not seen the latest video? He told them all this information, and they're now broadcasting it to the world! We'll soon be in a situation where everyone will beat us up! What countries will still cooperate with us after that?'"

"As he spoke, he clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth: 'And what's more! Losing 15,000 people is a devastating blow to my Wan Long Temple!'"

"And if they sentence all 15,000 of them... we'll have to pay compensation to their families according to the sentences...'

"You need to know that any country in the world considers crimes that harm national security as the most heinous and severe, with no exception. The highest penalty is death, and the lowest is over 10 years' imprisonment. If it's really like this, I'm afraid we'll have to put out tens of billions of dollars just for compensation!"

Landao Tian couldn't help but feel some shock. He also knew that Wan Long Temple, although it looked very powerful, actually derived most of its power from money.

Now that something so big has happened, if Wan Long Temple doesn't take care of this situation with money, the remaining 30-40 thousand mercenaries will probably flee one by one.

After all, these mercenaries have no loyalty to their employer.

Unlike each country's soldiers, who are driven by patriotism and would gladly give their lives for their country even in battle.

These mercenaries are purely a group of workers who only take action for money. If there's no money, they'll just throw down their tools.

It's like employees in a company. When the boss goes bankrupt and can't pay wages, most employees will start looking for new jobs while consulting lawyers to file lawsuits and demand compensation.

So, having 15,000 people captured will be a huge test for Wan Long Temple.

Therefore, Landao Tian couldn't help but ask: "Master, do you have any solution now?"

Wan Ba Jun's expression was extremely angry as he said: "For the time being, there's no way. The only solution is to rush and negotiate with the government army, doing everything possible to satisfy their demands, and get them to release people willingly."

Landao Tian asked again: "What if they refuse? Should we fight our way in and rescue people?"

"You've lost your mind?" Wan Ba Jun glared at him, questioning: "Do you want to declare war on a country publicly? If so, we'll be equivalent to offending all sovereign countries around the world. Everyone will treat us with contempt, and where can we stand? Can we become pirates in Somalia? Don't forget that Somalia is also a sovereign country! If we invade another sovereign country, even if their national army can't defeat us, the United Nations will send troops to eliminate us."

Landao Tian was stunned for a moment before unable to help himself saying: "If so, then our only option would be to negotiate..."

Wan Ba Jun let out a long sigh and said: "Today is already April 1st. There are only five days left until the ancestral ritual at Ye's house..."

As he spoke, Wan Ba Jun added: "Since they've publicly announced that we've captured their people, I'm sure they'll follow international basic principles and conduct an open trial for them..."

"Once there's an open trial, we'll need to go through normal procedures - collecting evidence, fixing evidence, prosecution, judgment. It'll take at least a few months..."

"That being the case, let me finish my business with Ye's family first, then I'll personally go to the Middle East to negotiate with them. The best solution is to pay them off once and for all, and have them release everyone."

Landao Tian nodded again before asking: "Master, what will you do at that time regarding Qing Mu Lang Wang?"

"Who?" Wan Ba Jun gritted his teeth and spoke coldly: "I'll bring him back to Wan Long Temple and conduct a personal inquiry before all the warlords and generals. I want to ask him why he betrayed Wan Long Temple and surrendered..."

"When government troops captured 15,000 elite members of Wan Long Temple in one fell swoop, it caused a massive stir on the international stage. At that time, Ye's family plane, which was as elegant as a white swan, landed smoothly at Jinling Airport.

The plane stopped at the end of the runway when another helicopter had been waiting for a while. The two people Ye Chen brought back from the Middle East were extremely sensitive in terms of their identities.

Su Shou Dao is Su's eldest son, and since he went missing, the entire Su family, as well as society as a whole, has been searching for his whereabouts. If this news was to leak out, it would definitely cause a huge commotion. JrNovels.com
