206: compensation

Watching Andrei sit back down in his original seat, the others were all stunned.

"You attacked me directly just to confirm that?" John said, still shaken.

If he hadn't always been wary of those around him, he might have had his head blown off by that guy's punch just now.

Andrei only nodded and didn't offer much explanation.

"Madman, you're a complete madman. Is your head really filled with nothing but muscle?" John immediately stood far away from Andrei.

Then he continued, "Since you've all confirmed it now, to hatch this divine beast egg, my mjolnir must be left in its current near-scrapped state. Doesn't this divine beast belong to us in America?"

Xiao Sheng also recovered from the shock just now and continued to display his acting skills, approaching as he said, "Then should we in Great Xia just take the loss?"

John didn't back down an inch as he came before Xiao Sheng. "The facts are exactly that. America has paid too much for this egg. Even if this egg remains in your hands, you wouldn't be able to hatch it without mjolnir!"

The final result was indeed as John had expected. Andrei and Xiao Sheng stood together, the Sun King stood on his side, leaving only the Knight King's crucial vote.

This made the blonde girl feel very conflicted. Finally, after thinking it over, she said, "America's mjolnir was indeed damaged in power because of this egg. They now need the divine beast's power to strengthen themselves."

Before John could even be happy, he heard the Knight King continue, "However, for Great Xia, sufficient compensation should also be provided."

This was an opinion that didn't offend either side, a master of balancing the scales, yet it was accepted by both parties.

Xiao Sheng's purpose for coming this time was to extort them, and as long as John could keep the Kui Niu, he was willing to compensate Great Xia.

"So, what kind of compensation does Great Xia want?"

Xiao Sheng thought about how to extort them heavily, ideally making America feel the pain while still being barely acceptable.

Then, under everyone's dumbfounded gazes, he drafted a list on the spot.

He wrote for a full ten minutes, and the long list could even unfurl from his hand to the floor.

Not only did it include Beast Tamer resources, but there were also various lifestyle and technological resources. In short, Xiao Sheng wrote down anything he could think of that the country lacked.

Even so, he still felt he had missed many things.

After this list was translated into text that John could understand, it became even longer.

As John read it from the beginning, he couldn't help but repeatedly shout, "What the f***!"

Despite this, it wasn't unacceptable; it would just make the group led by America, including himself, feel extremely uncomfortable.

And this was exactly what Xiao Sheng wanted. If you're uncomfortable, then we're comfortable.

Finally, after weighing it over, John crossed out seven items on the list and began to negotiate with Xiao Sheng.

Xiao Sheng didn't compromise and added the crossed-out items back. This time, John only crossed out five.

Finally, after several rounds of bargaining, two items were crossed out from the list, and the rest of the compensation was accepted.

This already made Xiao Sheng feel like he had made a killing. After all, he had originally prepared for more than ten items to be crossed out, so he had deliberately written several excessive conditions.

To his surprise, not only were those ten-plus items saved, but even some of the harsh conditions he had added intentionally were met, with only two being rejected.

"Haha, I really made a killing this time! Not only is someone helping me raise a demonic beast, but I also got to extort them heavily. This feels amazing!" Xiao Sheng cheered inwardly.

However, he didn't show it on his face at all. He even continued to look just as angry... In the end, the matter came to a close, and Xiao Sheng returned fully loaded.

A lot of the loot he extorted from America was sent to Su Ze.

It mainly included a large number of platinum-level demon beast eggs and one Diamond-rank Demonic Beast egg.

"Tsk, I didn't expect they would actually agree to my request for a Diamond-rank Demonic Beast egg. This was originally just something I added to cover for other conditions. It's truly an unexpected joy, haha!" Having held it in all the way back, Xiao Sheng finally burst into laughter once he was in front of Su Ze.

He had been holding it in so hard. In front of those people, he had to keep acting like he was fuming and held a deep grudge, not knowing that he was actually blooming with joy inside.

Su Ze looked at the demon beast eggs and said, "This shows they have a large reserve of demon beast eggs. They must even have many extra diamond eggs to be able to give one up so easily."

Xiao Sheng finally reined in his smile and said, "That's right. Their environment is complex, with a lot of extreme weather like thunderstorms and hurricanes. This isn't favorable for human habitation, but many demonic beasts live there."

"Because of this, America's demonic beast army, the Thunder Guard, is primarily composed of thunder and wind-attribute demonic beasts."

"Furthermore, America doesn't just have one Thunder Guard. The Thunder Guard is led by John, while William also has a much smaller Angel Guard, where everyone uses rare light-attribute demonic beasts."

"The Angel Guard can be said to be the nemesis of the Fusang Dark Guards, but they rarely take action and their status is more like a ceremonial guard."

"Based on the information you brought back, we now understand why Fusang produces so many Dark Guards with contracted dark-attribute demonic beasts, but the origin of America's light-attribute demonic beasts remains a mystery. It might be related to that mysterious Black-Robed Man."

The demon beast eggs currently placed before Su Ze were mainly of these three attributes. That diamond egg was thunder-attribute.

Perhaps John had prepared it for himself, but now all his thoughts were on the Kui Niu, and he couldn't care about the diamond rank demon beast egg at all.

Xiao Sheng handed these eggs to Su Ze with only one goal: "See if these are enough to create another divine beast egg? I still feel like our firepower is a bit lacking!"
