105: The deal is done, the magic weapon appears

“Lin Qianqian?”

Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director frowned, instinctively wanting to retort, but Su Lei spoke unhurriedly.

“Lin Xiaotian’s achievements are beyond doubt, and he bravely sacrificed himself in the development of the West.”

“As his daughter, I believe Lin Qianqian is fully qualified to serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the Western Military Region.”

Silver Owl’s gaze under her mask flickered slightly.

The relationship between Lin Qianqian and Su Lei was no secret within Shadow Blade.

With her as Commander, the actual control would still be in Su Lei’s hands!

After a moment of silence, Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director suddenly tapped the coffee table with his finger.

“Three conditions are acceptable.”

“But the Federation wants to add one more star marrow.”

Silver Owl’s brows furrowed slightly under her mask.

This price increase was subtle; it was within Su Lei’s acceptable range, yet it could also test his bottom line.

“Alright, but I also have an additional condition.”

Su Lei suddenly spread his five fingers, and two more star marrows flew out of the safe, hovering before everyone.

“These two… help me forge them into ornaments similar to hero badges.”

“What?!” Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director sprang from the sofa, knocking over his teacup.

“You actually obtained ten?!”

Silver Owl’s breathing also quickened imperceptibly for a moment.

The output of the Kunlun Secret Realm far exceeded expectations; this information was enough to shake the entire Federation’s high command.

Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director narrowed his eyes, abruptly closed the folder, and his voice turned cold.

“This negotiation is canceled.”

“I will report to the high command and redraft the terms of the transaction.”

This action caused a cold glint to flash in Silver Owl’s eyes.

Everyone understood that the so-called assessment meant using political means to forcibly seize them.

Having said that, Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director stood up, making to leave.

Just as he reached the door—

“Stop.”

Silver Owl’s voice was not loud, but it made Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director’s back stiffen abruptly, and he turned back with difficulty.

Silver Owl slowly removed her mask, revealing a stern face.

Her gaze was as deep as an abyss, looking directly at Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director.

“Director Qin, you seem to have forgotten that in this negotiation, I am the Federation’s plenipotentiary representative.”

Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director’s expression changed.

Silver Owl continued:

“Su Lei’s conditions are reasonable and fair.”

“Ten star marrows, and he is willing to hand over four, which already shows sincerity.”

“As for the remaining part—”

She looked at Su Lei, a slight smile playing on her lips.

“I believe that members of Shadow Blade understand how to maximize their value better than the Federation.”

Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director’s face was ashen, clearly not expecting Silver Owl to side with Su Lei.

He remained silent for a long time, finally taking a deep breath and slowly sitting back on the sofa.

“…Fine, I have no objections.”

…After the deal was struck, the three immediately took a special plane to the Imperial Capital and arrived at the First Research Institute.

That evening, when Su Lei returned home, he carried an exquisite titanium alloy combination lock box.

Li Xue凝 wore a floral apron, her dark hair casually tied behind her head, with a few strands falling by her ears.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she turned down the stove, wiped the water from her hands with a towel, and greeted him with a smile.

“You’re back?”

Su Lei nodded, placed the combination lock box on the coffee table, and unlocked it with his fingerprint.

“Click—”

The lid slowly opened.

Rings, necklaces, brooches, badges… twenty pieces of jewelry shimmered with a blend of ethereal blue and gilded light under the soft illumination, each exquisitely crafted.

Li Xue凝’s eyes widened slightly: “This is…”

Su Lei took out a platinum ring inlaid with star marrow, gently took his wife’s hand, and put it on her.

“Try it.”

Li Xue凝 looked down at the ring, and suddenly felt a gentle energy flowing through her body from her fingertips, sweeping away her fatigue, and even making her thoughts exceptionally clear.

“This is…” She looked up in surprise.

“A gift for you; it can subtly strengthen your physique and Mental Energy.”

Su Lei explained gently, then took out a necklace and put it on her.

On the silver pendant, the star marrow was carved into a teardrop shape, shimmering with a dreamy luster under the light.

“In times of danger, it can automatically form a shield, capable of withstanding the full attacks of several Grandmasters.”

Li Xue凝 was stunned.

After becoming a Martial Master, she would usually follow relevant information online and clearly understood what such a treasure meant—

This was no longer a simple protective gear, but an invaluable treasure!

And Su Lei had given such a thing… to her.

Her eyes reddened slightly, and she suddenly reached out and hugged Su Lei tightly.

Just then, the joyful laughter of their son Su Yun and daughter Qiaoqiao came from outside the door.

The two children rushed into the living room like two small whirlwinds, and upon seeing Su Lei, they both pounced on him.

“Our Martial Dao teacher praised us today!”

“Oh, and Dad, we’re going to participate in the Hunting Competition tomorrow!”

“Qiaoqiao and I are a team.”

“A Hunting Competition, huh…” Su Lei nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

He took out two jade pendants and bracelets from the combination lock box. He squatted down and personally put them on the two children.

Watching their surprised expressions, Su Lei secretly nodded.

The participants in the Hunting Competition would not exceed Tier 3 at most.

Although Su Yun and Qiaoqiao were only Tier 2 Martial Artists, with these, they would be safe even if they encountered a Tier 4 Mutant Beast.

They were sure to win first place in this competition.

Early the next morning, just as the sky began to lighten, Su Lei was woken by the vibration of the communicator beside his pillow.

It was Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director calling.

The battle gear, crafted from star marrow, blue crystal, and a mysterious silver-white metal, was nearing completion… Ten minutes later, Su Lei arrived at the First Research Institute.

Inside the forging room, the temperature was more than ten degrees higher than outside.

Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director stood before the central forging platform, his eyes bloodshot; he had not slept for a day and a night.

Silver Owl stood quietly to the side, her arms crossed.

“You’ve come just in time!” Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director wiped away some sweat, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, “The final quenching process is about to begin.”

In the forge, a battle saber floated in the plasma flames.

The blade displayed a strange silver-blue color, with intricate golden patterns flowing across its surface.

A row of star marrow fragments was inlaid along the edge of the blade, emitting an ethereal blue light under the high temperature.

Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director gazed at the forge with fascination, a hint of greed flashing deep in his eyes.

“Great Master Qin seems very interested in my Materials?” Su Lei asked with a half-smile.

“To change the form of this metal, twenty-three large reactors operated on overload.”

“The energy consumed is equivalent to half a year’s electricity for the Imperial Capital…”

Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director murmured with emotion.

“I have never seen such a miraculous metal, it’s unavoidable…”

“Unavoidable to want to claim it for yourself?” Silver Owl suddenly spoke, her voice as cold as ice.

Her eyes under her mask narrowed slightly, “If I hadn’t been watching 24 hours a day, Director Qin would probably have pocketed half of it, wouldn’t he?”

“Not at all, not at all…”

Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director laughed awkwardly.

Su Lei nodded lightly to Silver Owl.

Subsequently, all three men’s attention was completely drawn to the battle saber.

As the final quenching process began, a dazzling blue light erupted in the forging room.

In the scorching white steam, the battle saber slowly emerged.

The saber was three feet and two inches long, its blade like a mirror, yet it reflected no human image, instead refracting a deep, starlit glow.
