What should I do?
Ye Yu asked himself. As a former member of the Special Forces, he knew he had to solve problems when they arose. However, at this moment, the other party wasn’t even giving him a chance to negotiate. What could he do?
“They’re all in my hands; I think that gives me the right!” Ye Yu thought to himself, his tone turning extremely cold. Young people are always passionate and naturally despise being looked down upon by so-called big shots. Since you look down on me, I’ll do something to make you angry.
“Impossible! How could you all possibly do that? That old guy may be able to take on a mech by himself, but he was already crippled years ago; he’s basically useless now and can’t possibly defeat four mechs!”
The other party's voice was firm, but the repeated use of "impossible" revealed his inner uncertainty. He knew this situation could indeed be real; otherwise, how could the mechs be in the hands of someone named Ye Yu?
“Hmph, I’ll give you one minute to consider. If you can’t find someone who can make decisions, then I’ll have to kill one of them first!”
Ye Yu was still a soldier at heart. Although he didn’t want to kill, if these people wanted him dead, he had no choice but to eliminate those who threatened him.
“You dare!”
The other party clearly hadn’t faced such a direct threat in a long time, especially from a young prisoner like Ye Yu; it was even more intolerable for him.
“Fifty seconds left!”
Ye Yu ignored the other party and continued. He knew that dealing with such people required psychological tactics. There was no telling what tricks the other side might have up their sleeve! The base weapons hovering in the air proved everything. Although Jin Shan claimed he could help Ye Yu deal with the Phase Cannon's attacks, who knew if the enemy would employ other means?
“If you dare harm any of those four people, I guarantee you won’t leave the desert alive!” As the Second-in-Command of the Special Operations Group, he clearly didn’t want to be threatened by Ye Yu, especially in front of numerous subordinates.
“Thirty seconds left!” Ye Yu smirked slightly; such threats held no weight. If it weren’t for the life-threatening situation, why would he propose such conditions?
For a moment, there was silence on the other end of the communicator as if they were genuinely considering Ye Yu’s terms. For an instant, Ye Yu even thought the connection had been cut off.
“Ten!”
“Nine!”
“Eight!”
The countdown began. The longer Major Bai delayed, the greater the danger, but he couldn't let the other party see his anxious emotions.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Well, since you are so cold-blooded and care nothing for the lives of your comrades, I won't waste any more time with you!" Ye Yu was furious that the other party remained unmoved, and he felt compelled to do something to express his feelings.
"Please wait!"
At that moment, a dry voice suddenly reached Ye Yu's ears, and he could almost picture a thin, dark-skinned old man behind it.
"May I ask who you are?" Ye Yu asked instinctively, sensing a hint of pity in the voice.
"I am Yang Haixiong, the administrative head of the Thirteenth District. I am here to negotiate on behalf of the lord of Silver Dragon City!" A calm and unhurried voice responded from across the way.
Ye Yu listened with confusion. The administrative head of the Thirteenth District had no authority over the mecha troops; he didn't believe the other party's words could be fulfilled. However, representing the lord of Silver Dragon City carried a different weight.
This lord was extremely famous, having been a prominent figure decades ago. The Sin City he led was a place where countless young people from the Federation aspired to serve. Ye Yu found himself particularly eager for this lord to appear; after all, that would provide more assurance.
"To demonstrate my sincerity, I can tell you that among those four individuals, the middle-aged man numbered 6 is Zuo Shan, Team Leader of the Special Operations Group!"
Seeing Ye Yu fall silent, Yang Haixiong assumed he had other thoughts and immediately presented his sincerity. He believed this gesture was sufficient; it was a disgrace for such a high-ranking member of a military Action Team to be captured by enemies and used to threaten his teammates. Since Yang Haixiong was willing to acknowledge this humiliation, it naturally indicated he had enough sincerity to negotiate.
"Fool!"
At that moment, Ye Yu heard a voice from his communicator—soft yet clear—belonging to the person he had just been speaking with. Clearly, even as comrades, he could not tolerate such disgrace within their Action Team!
A slight smile crept onto Ye Yu's lips; he knew that middle-aged man was indeed the one Huang Laowai had just thrown at him. He realized he had made the right bet and could continue negotiating.
"I know that letting you go would be a provocation to the Federation, and no one would agree to that! So I ask you to give us three days. After that, you can do as you wish!"
Ye Yu understood the art of negotiation. The fact that the other party was willing to talk meant they could make concessions, but they would never back down without limits. Once authority was lost, it became meaningless. He wasn't asking them to abandon their pursuit; he simply hoped for three days as a buffer.
"I can agree to your request, but I have one condition!" The other party responded without hesitation, as if they had anticipated Ye Yu's approach.
Ye Yu instinctively felt a chill run down his spine, a bad premonition creeping in. He asked uncertainly, "What condition?"
At that moment, a cacophony of noise suddenly erupted from the other end of the communicator. It sounded like Yang Haixiong was instructing others to step back.
"You have four members of the Action Team in your hands, so you can only exchange for four people. Of course, that young lady is innocent and not part of our exchange. Even if you can't escape, I won't make things difficult for her. Therefore, I need one person to stay behind; there's no room for negotiation on this point!"
Yang Haixiong's voice turned cold yet seductive, rational like those politicians giving speeches on the street.
Ye Yu was taken aback. Among them, the most valuable was undoubtedly Huang Laowai; it seemed the other side wanted to keep him too. Without his combat strength, where could they escape?
"Who do you want to keep?" Ye Yu asked instinctively, sensing something was off.
"You, Ye Yu!"
The response came swiftly, catching Ye Yu off guard. This outcome was far too unexpected!
