Chapter 200 Qu Tong's Self-Redemption
Chapter 200 Qu Tong's Self-Redemption
Late at night, behind Biyou Village in the mountains.
Just as Zhang Chulan and the others were having a bonfire party on Nasen Island, Ma Xianhong took out a magic artifact that he had secretly crafted that could make people invisible from his food pouch.
After activating the magical artifact, Ma Xianhong bypassed the gaze of everyone in the village and secretly went to the back mountain alone.
As he appeared on the back hill, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
"Now that you've arrived in Xianhong, have you finished making the things I asked you to refine?"
Ma Xianhong sneaked out to meet his sworn sister, Qu Tong, who was also wanted by the police.
Looking at Qu Tong in front of him, Ma Xianhong said helplessly, "Don't make me refine this kind of thing next time. I am a weapon refiner, not a counterfeit seller."
After saying that, Ma Xianhong actually took out a dragon ball from his food pouch!
"I only saw the Dragon Ball from afar at the time, so I'm not sure about its exact feel and material. Could you check it out?"
Qu Tong picked up the Dragon Ball, examined it from head to toe, and nodded in satisfaction.
"As expected of you, Xianhong, it feels just like the real thing."
It is obvious that the dragon ball that Ma Xianhong pulled out was fake.
Not long ago, Ma Xianhong received another request from Qu Tong. To his surprise, this time Qu Tong did not ask him to refine a magic weapon, but to refine a fake dragon ball!
The fact that the Chinese leadership was preparing to collect the seven Dragon Balls to demand a spaceship from Shenron to the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance was known to many people from top to bottom. Qu Tong also obtained this information through his informant at Anywhere.
Although the suppression from Na Du Tong over the past few days did not fundamentally damage Qu Tong, it did prevent her from doing anything during this period.
Qu Tong's goal of investigating the truth behind the Jia Shen Rebellion has made absolutely no further progress during this period.
After she learned that Natoto was collecting the Dragon Balls, she came up with a plan: she would use the Dragon Balls to ask Natoto for some pardons!
China originally had four, and under normal circumstances, three more are still out in the open.
But when Qu Tong learned that Nathan Island was about to establish its first overseas military base, she knew that the Dragon Ball on Nathan Island must have been used by King Nathan to negotiate with China.
Qu Tong has lost the chance to obtain the Dragon Balls of Nathan Island.
Furthermore, with the Dragon Ball in Behemoth's possession stolen by an unknown force, Qu Tong's only remaining chance to steal was the one in the hands of the Western swordsman.
Fortunately, thanks to Qu Tong's efforts over many days, she successfully planted an inside agent next to the superhuman and even got close to the Dragon Ball!
Qu Tong used her double-handed technique to copy the memory of the Dragon Ball's tactile sensations and transmitted it to Ma Xianhong.
Ma Xianhong lived up to Qu Tong's expectations and created a Dragon Ball that was exactly the same in appearance and feel.
Looking at the satisfied Qu Tong, Ma Xianhong asked, puzzled.
"Sister, I know you're planning to steal the Dragon Ball, but since your people have already touched it, why don't you just take it? Why do I have to make a fake one and put it back?"
Qu Tong played with the Dragon Ball in her hand for a while and said with a smile.
"Of course, I don't want others to know that I took the Dragon Ball so soon."
Ma Xianhong didn't understand what Qu Tong meant, shook his head, and prepared to go back.
"Then be careful, sister. I'm going back now."
After saying that, Ma Xianhong activated his invisibility artifact and walked towards Biyou Village, slowly disappearing from Qu Tong's sight.
……
Day two.
It connects to everything, including the meeting room.
The meeting room was filled with an atmosphere of anger.
Bi Youlong, a director of Nadutong, stood by the long table. He looked at the documents in his hand with a furrowed brow and an undisguised anxiety in his eyes. Then he slammed the documents on the table.
"Chairman Zhao, the Westerners have no intention of negotiating properly with us at all!" Bi Youlong's voice carried a hint of suppressed anger. "The conditions they've offered are outrageous! Not only do they want us to provide a large amount of supplies, but they also want us to unconditionally support their trade policies for the next five years. This isn't negotiation; it's blatant extortion!"
"What does he take us for?! Does he think we're still the Qing Dynasty?!"
After the Dragon Balls from Nathan Island were safely returned to China yesterday, Zhao Fangxu immediately began work on retrieving the next Dragon Ball.
At this time, there are still two Dragon Balls outside, and the people from Nagoya are still searching for the exact whereabouts of the Dragon Ball that was stolen from Behemoth. At this time, the only Dragon Ball whose location they have confirmed is the one that was taken away by that Western broadsword-wielding alien!
Just like in China, after the Broadsword Inhuman returned to his country, the Dragon Ball was exchanged for benefits by the country's high-ranking officials.
Just yesterday, when Natotong sent people to a Western country to exchange for the Dragon Balls they possessed, they made an unreasonable request to Natotong.
Sitting at the other end of the long table, Zhao Fangxu remained calm, his hands clasped on the table. He gently raised his eyes to look at Bi Youlong, his tone steady.
"Yulong, calm down. Didn't we expect their attitude? They definitely won't let go of something like the Dragon Balls easily when they get the chance."
"But they're extorting us!" Bi Youlong's voice suddenly rose, and he slammed his fist heavily on the table. "Collecting the Dragon Balls isn't just for our country; it's for the whole world! Yet they're using it as a bargaining chip. This is outrageous!"
Zhao Fangxu sighed softly and turned his gaze to the window.
He paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Youlong, negotiations are never a quick process. Let's ask them if they have any room for maneuver. Negotiations require patience."
Bi Youlong snorted coldly, his tone tinged with anger: "Chairman Zhao, it's not that I lack patience, but those Westerners simply don't take us seriously. They still consider themselves the world's number one! They even hinted that if we don't accept their conditions, they will sell the Dragon Balls to Behemoth! This is clearly a threat!"
A cold glint flashed in Zhao Fangxu's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He stood up, walked to the window, his back to Bi Youlong, and spoke in a low, powerful voice.
"Threats or blackmail, we must get our hands on the Dragon Balls! Yulong, as a director of Natotong, I firmly believe you can get the Dragon Balls back. If negotiations don't work, you can try other methods..."
Zhao Fangxu didn't specify what other methods he was referring to, but Bi Youlong, as a director, immediately understood.
Bi Youlong had anticipated this scenario from the beginning. The task was clearly to negotiate with Western countries, but instead of assigning it to those in the board of directors who were better at negotiating, it was given to him, a director known for his radicalism.
He was mentally prepared from that moment on.
Bi Youlong said nothing, but nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, Chairman Zhao. You didn't say anything, so I will definitely bring the Dragon Ball back."
Zhao Fangxu smiled slightly and patted Bi Youlong on the shoulder: "Very good. Remember, no matter how arrogant the other party is, we must remain calm. I believe you can definitely get the Dragon Ball back."
