... ...
In the light screen.
"General Yang Tian, I believe you already understand the cause and effect of the matter." Gu Ran smiled faintly, "Then let's make a deal."
"Transaction?" Yang Tian was a little stunned, and then he looked at Gu Ran carefully, "You are indeed not an ordinary boy, but what kind of transaction do you want to make with me? What capital do you have to trade with me?"
There was no mockery in Yang Tian's expression. His eyes only held a hint of inquiry, as if he was really just curious about the answers to these two questions.
29. I can help the Yang family go further!
Everyone in the control room was also very surprised after hearing this. It turns out that you are not from the Yang family. Then where did you come from
Kelly Duville's eyes flickered slightly after hearing this. He originally thought that Gu Ran was a member of the Yang family. So this time he fell into the hands of the Yang family, and whether he lived or died depended on the attitude of the Yang family.
But if he wasn't from the Yang family, maybe there would be a turning point.
He immediately shouted, "That kid, since you are not from the Yang family, then you must have captured me in exchange for some benefits from the Yang family, right? What do you want? Money? Power? Or... ... a beauty? What the Yang family can give you, our Duville family can pay double!"
“I am one of the candidates for the head of the Duville family. As long as you release me, I can agree to whatever you ask for. You have the ability of space, and as long as you join our Duville family, you will immediately be a guest of honor.
"On the contrary, if you offend our Duville family, then even the Yang family will not be able to protect you. Our Duville family will become the ruling family next year. Do you think the Yang family dares to offend our Duville family?"
Gu Ran frowned: "I didn't ask you to speak, did I? Since you are still useful, I won't kill you for now, but since you broke my rules, punishment is necessary."
Kelly Duville discovered that the space portal that allowed her body to loop back and forth suddenly disappeared.
Feeling his body becoming free, he was overjoyed and thought he had convinced the other party and the so-called punishment was just a joke.
He laughed and said, "Haha, good, you are indeed a smart man, I will definitely-"
Kelly Duville's words came to an abrupt halt, because he suddenly found that his words had a strange sense of stagnation, and the space around him suddenly became sticky and stagnant.
"This is a little trick I just thought of. By distorting the strength of space, I can form a small space that can accommodate others. In this space, his every move will be restricted, and no sound from him can be heard." Gu Ran explained lightly.
Sure enough, everyone in the control room and Yang Tian could see that the space where Kelly Duville was located was different from other spaces. It had a twisted and sticky feeling.
In the space, Kelly Duville had a resentful look in his eyes and opened his mouth as if he was saying something, but they could not hear anything.
Then, Gu Ran looked at Yang Tian on the screen: "General Yang Tian, you have seen the capital in my hands. I am a space ability user, and if evaluated according to the current classification of the Human Alliance, I should be an A-level space ability user.
"I stopped General Duville's plot. I saved the remaining soldiers in Area D32. The staff officer surnamed Yang is also from the Yang family, so I also saved the Yang family. Of course, I am not asking General Yang to repay me. I am saying this just to show my ability and the role I played in this matter.
"As for the truth of the matter, I believe that General Yang Tian, you will have your own channels to verify it. But before you verify it, let me first talk about the content of the transaction.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Duville family has set their sights on the military power of District D. They sent this useless general here to slowly seize the military power of District D. Although this useless general has not succeeded yet and even made a fatal mistake, he is definitely unable to gain a foothold in District D.
“But even if we temporarily stop the Duville family from interfering, as long as the Duville family is determined, they will continue to look for opportunities to place people among the officers in District D and try to replace the Yang family.
"Besides, the Duville family will become the ruling family next year. How can the Yang family fight against the Duville family by then?"
Gu Ran spoke calmly, but his words surprised everyone.
Is this really something a teenager would say
Other psychics at his age are probably still worried about their psychic crystal cores not being big enough or their homework not being up to standard in the psychic school. The situation of several upper-class families is probably not on their minds at all.
However, the young Gu Ran not only had a good understanding of the status of the two families, he could even talk about the struggle between the two families.
Yang Tian's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Gu Ran: "You are really a young hero. Yes, you do have the capital. Just your identity as an A-level space ability user allows you to talk to me at the same negotiation table. Then please explain the content of your deal. If it is an ordinary deal, our Yang family is not a third-rate family and will not look down on it."
Yang Tian himself is only at the stage of Qi Condensation in martial arts. If compared with superpowers, then Gu Ran, as an A-level superpower user, is already at the same level as him in strength. What's more, Gu Ran's superpower is a rare spatial power.
"Not only can I help the Yang family retain their military power in District D, I can also help them go one step further and expand their influence to District E, allowing them to enter the inner city center."
Yang Tian frowned. If Gu Ran hadn’t laid so much groundwork beforehand, making him believe that this was not an ordinary boy, he would have definitely laughed at it as a joke.
Not to mention how to resist the Duville family who are eyeing the military power of District D, this kid actually dares to say that he will help the Yang family expand its influence to District E
Who is the chief officer of Zone E
William Deuville!
One of the core members of the Duville family.
In other words, Gu Ran meant not only to help the Yang family keep their existing territory and block the Duville family, but also to bite off a piece of the Duville family's power.
The most ridiculous one is the last one, helping the Yang family enter the inner city center
Everyone knows that the core of the inner city has been monopolized by a few big families, so if other families want to develop, they can only expand outward. If they really want to intervene in the core of the inner city, do those families think they are vegetarians
By then, the entire Yang family might be destroyed.
Does this kid want to help the Yang family or harm the Yang family
In an instant, all kinds of thoughts ran through Yang Tian’s mind.
At one point, his eyes even became sharp, and he thought about selling Gu Ran to the Duville family, pushing everything onto Gu Ran, and then driving the Duville family out of Area D. The Yang family and the Duville family would still be able to maintain a face-saving peace.
Although Gu Ran saved the Yang family and destroyed Kelly Duville's conspiracy, for people like them, the interests of the family are above all else.
For the sake of the family's interests, their Yang family can even make peace with the idiot Kelly Duville, and sell out Gu Ran, the "benefactor", as long as he can get a good price.
But in the end, Yang Tian just smiled faintly and asked, "How can I trust you? Or, what chips do you have that can make me believe you?"
"If you can't convince me that you can do it, we in the Yang family won't believe such a joke."
30. Gu Ran is unpredictable
For Yang Tian, he didn’t know enough about the current situation, so he decided to listen to what insights this young man had.
If his method is really feasible, then why not agree to it
If it's just an arrogant kid talking nonsense, it won't be too late to sell it then.
A-level psychics are indeed considered to be among the top powerhouses, but for the Yang family and the Duville family, there is no shortage of A-level psychics. It's just that Gu Ran's age and rare spatial ability made Yang Tian look at him with a higher regard.
However, it is impossible to use this to make the Duville family stop interfering in the military power of Zone D and allow the Yang family to take a further step.
Even the powerful people outside the light screen could not figure out what Gu Ran could do in his position.
If we talk about their current strength, there are still many ways, because all of them are now top powerhouses in the Human Alliance, and they also have their own forces, so they have many cards to play.
But what about Gu Ran? His strength as an A-level psychic is not enough to be a trump card, and he was born in a slum, so he has no other big forces to rely on.
One by one, the strong men racked their brains but could not find a way out.
"Oh, I see. The tyrant has a core member of the Duville family in his hand. I guess he wants to use this as a bargaining chip to threaten the Duville family." Lin Fan smiled and shook his head. "It's a pity that the tyrant is still young. He may not have realized that for these big families, even the core family members can be sacrificed. If he wants to use this to threaten the Duville family, it would be too naive."
"The tyrant's plan will definitely fail. By then, the Duville family and the Yang family may both cause trouble for him. By then, he probably won't be able to stay in Saint Joel City anymore and will have to leave. I guess his supernatural crystal core may have been lost after this."
Lin Fan was jealous of Gu Ran, who did not expose his evil deeds but instead whitewashed himself. So when he saw an opportunity to suppress Gu Ran's image, Lin Fan jumped out again and made some "reasonable" speculations.
Indeed, at this moment, the only bargaining chip in Gu Ran's hand seemed to be that stupid general. If it were feasible to use that stupid general to exchange some benefits from the Duville family, the core members of the Duville family must be very valuable.
However, Kelly Duville's importance is definitely not as high as the benefits that Gu Ran promised to Yang Tian. Therefore, using Kelly Duville as a bargaining chip to exchange benefits from the Duville family is undoubtedly a wrong move.
It might even completely anger the Duville family and lead to their pursuit.
Then the Yang family would definitely not protect him and would fight against the Duville family, which was about to become the ruling family.
In this way, the situation might really slide into the worst direction and be hunted down by the two powerful families.
However, since Lin Fan's speculations were wrong several times before, fewer people agreed with him this time.
Everyone continued to look at the light screen, waiting to see what Gu Ran would do.
... ...
In the light screen.
Gu Ran looked at the most powerful man in District D and smiled slightly. There was no awe in his expression, as if he was facing just an ordinary middle-aged man. He said calmly:
"I will naturally prove it to you, and it won't require you to do anything. You just need to wait. In a matter of ten minutes at the fastest and half an hour at the slowest, you will naturally know that I can do this."
A hint of suspicion flashed across Yang Tian's eyes.
All I have to do is wait, maybe ten minutes at the fastest, half an hour at the slowest? I will know naturally
Such an affirmative tone... ...he seemed really sure that he could do it.
All kinds of speculations flashed through Yang Tian’s mind.
Could it be that the other party is from some powerful force? Is that powerful force intervening in this matter to plan for the Yang family and the Duville family
In an instant, Yang Tian guessed everything, from the major families in Saint-Yor City to the forces in several other relatively nearby main cities.
However, the information he obtained was too little, and he was completely unable to determine which force Gu Ran belonged to.
He decided to give it a try.
"Okay, then I will be waiting for your good news. However, if it is a transaction, both parties must provide something of equal value to make it a fair transaction. Your Excellency is doing such a big favor for the Yang family, so what do you, or the people behind you, want to get from the Yang family? If you don't explain clearly, my curiosity will be like a cat scratching, and I will be unable to sleep or eat."
Gu Ran understood the tentative intention of Yang Tian. This old fox simply felt that he was not like a lone ranger and wanted to find out the power behind him.
Gu Ran said slowly: "General Yang Tian, don't think too much. I just like making friends. Isn't it my duty to do something for my friends? Now I am helping the Yang family. When I need help, the Yang family will definitely help me as a friend."
"So just think of it as the Yang family owing me a request. I hope that when I ask the Yang family to fulfill this request, they won't refuse."
"Then please wait for some time, General Yang Tian. During this time, General Yang Tian can verify the truth of what I just said."
Immediately, Gu Ran asked Blanco, who had been waiting nearby, to cut off the communication with Yang Tian.
"Connect me to the head of the Duville family." Gu Ran glanced at Blanco, "You can't do it, can you?"
