Chapter 514: Chapter 265: The Nobles of Lu City!_3
Yet Fang Mu would not give the Gao Family a chance to buffer.

He directly addressed that if the Gao Family could not industrialize the funds, they should pay off the debt with equivalent supplies.

And detailed the categories of supplies he was keen to accept.

Gao Wenyuan listened to Fang Mu’s demands on the phone while turning to Gao Hongying.

He signaled Gao Hongying to make a choice and then reply to him.

The situation was stronger than people, Li Yuanchao was still waiting for his response.

Gao Hongying gritted his teeth and nodded to Gao Wenyuan, indicating that Gao Wenyuan could agree to the terms put by Jianmu.

Let Jianmu hasten to send the Whale-typed Divine Beast back!

Following this, Gao Hongying arranged for the core members of the Gao Family to prepare the supplies that offset the debt according to Jianmu’s requirements.

Jianmu’s intentions had been made abundantly clear.

Blatantly, Jianmu was waiting for the Gao Family to deliver the supplies, before he would return the Whale-typed Divine Beast.

The resources of the Gao Family were readily available in the Core Treasury, packed in multiple pieces of Spatial Equipment.

Therefore, the Gao Family quickly prepared most of the debt-offsetting supplies.

Gao Hongying specifically arranged Gao Wenyuan to estimate the value of the debt-offsetting supplies. Assisting Gao Wenyuan with the estimation were two members of the Gao Family Elders’ Council.

Gao Hongying then responded to Li Yuanchao, worrying that the extended time it took for them would affect the final decision of the Lu City’s higher-ups towards the Gao Family.

At this time, Chen Jing had already reached the Pavilion of Cang Lu, which symbolized the friendly relations of the Sea Clan and Lu City, where he encountered the legendary Soul Whale Princess.

Rumors about the Soul Whale Princess’s bad temper were rife throughout major federations of Humans and Sea Clans.

Such rumors were not baseless, but rather a fact verified by the lives of many Sea Clan creatures.

Regarding the Soul Whale Princess, Chen Jing felt significant pressure.

The Soul Whale Princess had just contacted Fang Mu to learn that the Gao Family had delivered the supplies into Fang Mu’s hands.

The Soul Whale Princess did not engage in much small talk with Chen Jing.

Since she had already agreed to bear the accountability of the Sea Clan’s invasion into Lu City and compensate for the losses Lu City suffered.

Engaging in small talk and dragging things on would be not only unnecessary but would also make Fang Mu question her attitude if he were to hear it.

But the Soul Whale Princess wanted to direct part of the responsibility from the Sea Clan onto the Sea Lord, which made her speak directly to Chen Jing.

“My offspring was kidnapped by the forces of Lu city. However, this cannot entirely be blamed on Lu City.”

“It was one under the jurisdiction of the Leader this sea region who informed the forces of Lu City.”

“Therefore, we, the Sea Clan, also have to bear some responsibility.”

“I’m willing to take on all of Lu City’s losses on behalf of the Sea Clan; you of Lu City should relay the concrete losses to me within a week.”

Chen Jing had been thinking about how to communicate with the Soul Whale Princess.

The Soul Whale Princess was not an easy person to communicate with.

It was hard for Chen Jing to figure out what to say, but when he finally did, the words were useless in front of the Soul Whale Princess.

That’s because the Soul Whale Princess did not even give him a chance to speak before offering a resolution exceeding the Dragon Rising Federation’s expectations.

At this time, Chen Jing chose not to bargain further for Lu City.

It would not be worth it to irritate the Soul Whale Princess causing her to withdraw her proposal, considering they had already gained an advantage.

When Chen Jing was prepared to reply to the Soul Whale Princess, she continued speaking.

“I’m willing to make this huge concessions, still considering the losses of the Dragon Rising Federation after losing my child.”

“Because there’s a significant person in Lu City.”

“Otherwise…”

The Soul Whale Princess stopped without stating what would happen otherwise. However, according to rumors, Chen Jing could guess what she implied.

Now within Lu City, the person who could be regarded as a significant person, recognized by the Soul Whale Princess, must be the Disciple of Grandmaster Creator, Jianmu.

Considering the safety of Lu City, Jianmu released many resources of the Grandmaster Creator; thus, it’s likely he already communicated with his master, Qixing.

Qixing probably knew the Soul Whale Princess a long time ago and had communicated with her.

Otherwise, there’s no reason for the Soul Whale Princess to behave as she did.

The losses of Lu City had not yet been computed, but everyone knows the losses must be incalculable.

Since there was nothing to talk about, Chen Jing directly invited the Soul Whale Princess to visit Lu City.

This way, the Soul Whale Princess could actually feel the severity of the losses of Lu city.

However, the Soul Whale Princess did not accept Chen Jing’s invitation, instead, she spoke.

“I can sense where exactly my child is in Lu City.”

“I will go and pick her up now, I will communicate with you after that.”

“After all, communicating with you now is of no use since you have not yet calculated the losses of Lu City.”

Having said that, the Soul Whale Princess, still in a mimicry form, flapped her giant whale wings, making a wave covering the heaven, and disappeared from Chen Jing’s sight.

Chen Jing did not stop the Soul Whale Princess; even if he wanted to, he couldn’t.

Chen Jing suddenly remembered that, previously, from the two powerful figures following Jianmu, one had frankly asked Lu City to compute the losses.

It seemed that Jianmu must have known that this storm was over and would eventually settle down like this long ago.

It further confirmed to Chen Jing that Jianmu was the considerable person the Soul Whale Princess was talking about.

Before, Jianmu released unimaginable Creator resources to defend Lu City, and after, Jianmu eased up the storm for Lu City using his master’s relationships.

If anyone’s contributions to guarding Lu City during this catastrophe had to be weighed, then it unequivocally had to be Fang Mu.

Gao Hongtao had arranged for Gao Wenyuan to take the supplies that the Gao Family had painstakingly gathered to Fang Mu.

They were waiting for Gao Wenyuan to bring the Whale-typed Divine Beast back from Jianmu.

As a result, word came from Jianmu’s side that the Soul Whale Princess personally arrived to pick up her offspring.

This rendered the Gao Family unable to see the Whale-typed Divine Beast they had once captured.

Gao Hongying always felt this was too coincidental but couldn’t express his suspicions and was unable to verify them.

Because he couldn’t possibly suspect that Jianmu, the Lu City officials, and the Soul Whale Princess had conspired to deceive the Gao Family of resources worth thirty-six billion Dragon Rising Coins right!
