Chapter 1384: Chapter 1384

"Did I say it wrong?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Yuzhou nodded slightly, "No, you didn't."

After acknowledging it, he himself might have felt that the conditions he proposed that day were a bit excessive.

Moreover, achieving those conditions was impossible. Continuing to discuss them would only further anger Qiu Tu. So he coughed and tried to backtrack,

"However... when I proposed them, I just wanted to leave room for negotiation."

"I didn't expect you to actually agree."

Qiu Tu, upon hearing this, nodded slightly, "I believe you."

Then, he changed his tone, "However, I agreed."

Shen Yuzhou's thoughts remained on Qiu Tu's previous sentence, so he casually replied, "As long as Speaker Qiu believes it. In fact, we truly did this for the Seventh Sanctuary..."

Halfway through his words, Shen Yuzhou suddenly froze. Then he quickly looked at Qiu Tu, a bewildered expression on his face, "Wait a moment. What did you say?"

Seeing Shen Yuzhou's surprise, Qiu Tu smiled and then said, "I said... I agree to these four conditions."

Shen Yuzhou was a bit stunned, unable to comprehend what Qiu Tu was trying to do. His mind raced, trying to think it through.

However, before his brain could process, Qiu Tu continued, "Moreover, not only do I agree to those four conditions."

"I'm willing to up the ante."

"The Special Envoy appointed by the Third Sanctuary, in addition to having supervisory authority, will also have the power of the head."

"Not only can they participate in politics and governance, but they will also have voting rights."

"Furthermore, in the Seventh Sanctuary, not only will appointments above the level of head require the Third Sanctuary's approval, but even changes in the higher levels will need the Third Sanctuary's consent."

"As for... the offices in those eight states." With this, Qiu Tu paused, looked at Shen Yuzhou, and continued, "We will not only allow them to have intelligence gathering and other rights but will also permit them to station an army not exceeding 2,000 soldiers to ensure their safety."

As Qiu Tu listed condition after condition, the entire restaurant fell into dead silence.

Let alone the old fox Shen Yuzhou, who had been steeped in officialdom for many years, even Candle Dance, who didn't understand much about politics, looked at Qiu Tu with an expression of shock and suspicion.

After all, once these conditions were laid out, there was no need to speculate or understand to know what Qiu Tu was doing: selling out the country!

Qiu Tu was directly preparing to sell the entire Seventh Sanctuary!

If all these conditions were fulfilled, the Seventh Sanctuary would no longer be an independent sovereign sanctuary but would be considered a semi-colony of the Third Sanctuary.

In the future, the Seventh Sanctuary would have to rely on the Third Sanctuary's favor for anything it does, directly becoming an equal to the Third Sanctuary.

After going over Qiu Tu's conditions in his mind, Shen Yuzhou couldn't help but be astonished by Qiu Tu's audacity.

Such conditions are not easily promised by ordinary people. Once this unequal treaty is signed, Qiu Tu is very likely to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, leaving a stink for ten thousand years.

Other sanctuaries are difficult to say, but the upper echelons of the Seventh Sanctuary will surely hate Qiu Tu to the bone.

On the contrary, if Shen Yuzhou could truly sign this unequal treaty, he would immediately reverse his situation in the Third Sanctuary.

Nothing is greater than expanding territory and land. In a way, this can be considered an expansion of the Third Sanctuary's territory.

And start developing an economically advanced and profitable mature land.

However, as an old fox, Shen Yuzhou also understood the principle that the greater the benefit, the greater the risk.

With Qiu Tu's character, daring to promise such exaggerated conditions, he must be prepared to ask for an even more exaggerated benefit.

And that is the key to everything.

Thinking this way, Shen Yuzhou suppressed his inner excitement and then looked at Qiu Tu, asking, "For Speaker Qiu to offer such conditions, there must be an agenda?"

"So, what do you want?"

Hearing Shen Yuzhou's words, Qiu Tu no longer concealed it.

He said with a far-reaching gaze, "Last night, someone told me that after I control Shen Lingshuang, the conflict with your Third Sanctuary will be completely irreconcilable."

"After all... this equates to your most powerful weapon being under my control."

"To avoid being held back or blackmailed by me at critical moments, you must resolve this matter."

Shen Yuzhou nodded slightly upon hearing this.

In fact, it is indeed the case. Candle Dance is the "Order Faction" that spent a huge price and coincidentally created the "Ultimate Weapon."

Although only half succeeded and became increasingly uncontrollable, having a 7th-level "Heavenly God Reincarnation" guarding it, the Third Sanctuary truly dominated the "Southwest Region."

Not only did it repeatedly defeat other superpower branches of the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region" but it also united half of the "Southwest Region's" territory.

A large territory means more resources. More evil gods slain means more Cataclysmic Materials and more "Boundless Heart Sea Region."

This has brought the Third Sanctuary a huge leap forward in development.

Now, there are no more Disaster Zones surrounding the Third Sanctuary. It has started to tentatively expand towards the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region."

So, to firmly grasp this "Ultimate Weapon" in hand, the Third Sanctuary is certainly willing to do whatever it takes to nip the danger in the bud.

Thinking , Shen Yuzhou couldn't help but say, "So... are you planning to make Shen Lingshuang a part of the conditions, leaving everything to us to handle?" Thıs content belongs to novęlfire.net

Hearing Shen Yuzhou's words, Qiu Tu only laughed and shook his head.
