Douluo V: Daily Intelligence - I Want All of Tang San's Opportunities

After the awarding ceremony, the guests left, and Kundera met with Su Yuntao alone in a side room.

He didn't beat around the bush and brought up the Zhuge Crossbow again, which he had mentioned yesterday:

"Viscount Su, I selected our envoy from Barak City last night. When would be a convenient time for you to take him to meet your friend? Rest assured, the Kingdom of Barak will absolutely not let him suffer any loss."

Su Yuntao did not expect Kundera to be in such a hurry.

However, after accepting the title of Viscount, he was going to return to his baronial territory anyway, to arrange for some trusted people from his family to manage his newly acquired territory. Taking the baronial people with him would be convenient, so he immediately nodded.

"Then let's do it tomorrow. I'll take your envoy to see my friend directly. As for the specifics of the cooperation, you can discuss it yourselves then."

Kundera visibly relaxed, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and his tone became somewhat lighter:

"Alright, Viscount Su, don't worry. This time I've sent a trusted old man who's reliable and won't cause you any trouble."

Su Yuntao nodded, and after sitting for a while longer, he got up to say goodbye.

The next morning, Barak's envoy was already waiting at the gate of the city lord's mansion.

The man was in his early fifties, rather thin, and wore an inconspicuous gray robe with a token bearing the emblem of Barak City hanging from his waist. Although he didn't talk much, his gaze was steady. He didn't say much along the way, only asking about the itinerary when they were traveling. Su Yuntao simply gave him a direction, and he didn't ask any more questions.

A few days later, when the two arrived at Shrek Academy, Flander had already received advance notice and was waiting at the gate with several people from the academy.

The envoy from Barak glanced around at the somewhat worn signboard and the mottled walls at the entrance of the academy, said nothing, and simply followed Su Yuntao inside with a normal expression.

Flanders welcomed them into the main hall. After tea and refreshments were served, the two sides began initial contact, and the conversation mainly focused on the power, production capacity, and delivery cycle of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

Su Yuntao trusted Flanders' diplomatic skills. He sat and listened for a while, and seeing that their conversation was going smoothly, he got up and left the main hall.

Su Yuntao had just reached the corner of the corridor when he encountered Tang San. Seeing that Tang San's expression was not good, he stopped and asked:

"What's wrong? You look so pale?"

Tang San raised his head, clutching a half-finished crossbow spring in his hand. He hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"My master has been away since he went to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan, and he hasn't returned yet, not even a single word from him."

Su Yuntao's brow twitched slightly. He glanced around and, seeing people constantly walking down the corridor, led Tang San into an empty classroom next door.

"What exactly happened? Tell me in detail."

Tang San sat down, placing his hands on the table, his knuckles slightly white.

"After our last discussion, Master said he had a past relationship with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, one of the three upper sects, so it should be easier to reach an agreement with them regarding the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. He set off on the same day you left, Brother Su. But... it's been quite a few days now, and there's been no news at all. The principal said he might have been detained by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan."

After speaking, he looked up at Su Yuntao, his eyes filled with obvious worry:

"Brother Su, do you think something might have happened to my teacher?"

Su Yuntao did not respond immediately.

He quickly reviewed in his mind what he had discussed with the master and the others.

When discussing the sales of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, the master clearly analyzed that the forces with the greatest demand for this type of hidden weapon on the continent were the two great empires, the various duchies, and those sects that mainly focused on support-type soul masters. At that time, he also specifically suggested that we could start by trying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

But the master ultimately did not follow this direction, and instead chose the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Su Yuntao could roughly guess the master's thoughts. He wanted to use the Zhuge Divine Crossbow as an opportunity to regain the recognition of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

The problem is that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan's martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, is itself a powerful attack-type martial soul. When a family known for its powerful attacks sees a hidden weapon that can kill a level 40 soul master without needing soul power, their first reaction may not be whether this thing can help us, but rather whether this thing will threaten us.

What they want is not necessarily cooperation, but more likely destruction.

Su Yuntao sighed and looked at Tang San:

"Tang San, do you know about your teacher's background?"

Tang San shook his head: "I don't know. My father only said that the teacher is his friend and has a deep understanding of martial spirit theory. He told me to learn from him. As for more... my father didn't say anything, and the teacher didn't mention it to me either."

Su Yuntao leaned back in his chair and said in a calm tone:

"Your teacher is actually the son of the current patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. He just ran away from home for some special reasons, so you don't need to worry too much about his safety."

Tang San was stunned: "How is this possible? My teacher didn't mention this before we went to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan!"

At that moment, the classroom door was pushed open, and Flander walked in from outside:

"Your brother Su is right, your teacher is indeed the son of the current patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."

Tang San turned to look at Flander, his tone filled with confusion:

"Principal, you previously said that my teacher might have been detained by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. If he is the son of the current patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, how could he possibly be detained?"

How did they get detained?

I can't exactly tell you that your teacher was expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family a long time ago, and that they've always been ashamed of him, can I?

Su Yuntao ignored Tang San's question and turned to Flander, who had suddenly appeared, asking in confusion:

"Principal Flander, what brings you here? Have you reached an agreement with the envoy from the Kingdom of Barak?"

Flander couldn't help but laugh, his tone noticeably more relaxed than before:

"We've reached an agreement. The other party is very sincere, and we've already signed a preliminary cooperation agreement."

After saying that, the smile on his face vanished:

"Regarding the matter of the master, I still have to apologize to you. We changed our partner to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family without your consent. This is our problem."

Su Yuntao waved his hand and said casually:

"Whichever company can reach an agreement is the right one. The master probably chose the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family first because of that relationship. It's all about selling the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. There's no question of who's right or wrong."

Su Yuntao was naturally unhappy about the trouble caused by the master's unauthorized change of partners, but right now, many things still required Flander and the master to step in. Since the other party had already given their attitude, there was no need for him to keep dwelling on it.
