Chapter 81 Sui Clan’s Offer To Alina
In the wilderness of about sixty kilometers away from the city of Shangwan, there's a battle tank, which is parked in the middle of nowhere. Mark was standing on the ladder with his head out of the entrance, looking out at the scene.
In front of the battle tank, is standing the female Android who looks so beautiful to the point that even enemies are hesitating to attack her.
And the so-called enemies are spirit warriors, wearing black robes and masks like assassins. As for the horse carriage, it doesn't seem to be seen in the surroundings.
As soon as Mark got to know that there's a strong guy following him, he immediately ordered Alina to use her second passive skill, Interrogation on them to find everything.
And he got down from the carriage to summon the battle tank. His sudden actions alerted the spies. Then, Alina proceeded to speak some provocative words like what kind of cowardly men they are that they are afraid of a woman who is alone, they should cut their private parts and become eunuchs instead, she will even use a single hand to chop off their heads, etc…
In a normal situation, it wouldn't have a strong effect as they were well trained but Alina's skill had an effect on the target's minds. The six-circle expert managed to shield from this mental attack but the other three spirit warriors came out in the open, forcing their leader to follow them too.
? As for the other two spies, they are extra cautious from the beginning and are watching from very far away. So, they weren't affected.
"So, which impotent had sent the four of you to follow us?" Alina continued her interrogation with a smile on her face. It was seductive and yet, so insulting to them. Mark couldn't see the expressions on the spies/assassins due to the porcelain masks covering their faces. Of course, they could still see, talk, and breathe through it comfortably.
"You bitch, how dare you insult Lord Sui?" One of them exploded in anger.
"Lord Sui? Doesn't he have a proper name or what? Or he's an illegitimate son born to his mother through an affair or something?" Alina continued to speak, leaving the listeners angry and Mark stunned.
"You…" The three of them shivered in anger. As guards that are loyal to the clan, they couldn't bear it any longer. They brought out their weapons.
Just as one of them was about to charge forward, one person raised his hand, "stand down."
"Damn, she does have a venomous tongue," Mark mumbled to himself in surprise, watching the Android in action. As his eyes fell on her back, for a moment, Mark was distracted for a moment, "now that I think about it, she looks as good as she looks from the front, especially those... You idiot, what the hell are you thinking now…"
Mark shook his head vigorously to throw away useless thoughts from his head and concentrated on the group of four. "The one on the far right seemed too calm. Is he their leader?"
As soon as the thought ended in Mark, the leader opened his mouth, "I could see that you are talking that way on purpose, lady. Don't worry, I'll tell you our intentions. You and that man behind you, I assume he's your master, both of you harmed and extorted the minor clans of Meng, Qian, and Lei that are under the Sui clan's protection.
It looked like you are purposely targeting our clan. Our orders are to strike you down if you were to harm another minor clan and bring the two of you back with us as our prisoners.
But, now that you find us out, surrender yourselves and come with us peacefully. Both of you will be spared. As the Elder of the Sui Clan, I will give you my promise."
Alina was calmly listening to his words in silence. She was waiting for him to end. After all, she was just following Mark's orders to extract information from them.
Meanwhile, the leader of the party, Sui Hanying continued, "And if it doesn't please you, there's a second proposal.
According to our information, you are either at the peak stage of the five-circle realm or even might be at the six-circle realm. You are an asset to any clan. Our Sui clan's young master is still unwed.
With your beauty and strength, you are suited to become the Lady of the Clan and in the future, when our young master takes over the position of Patriarch, your status will be elevated to a level higher than even elders."
The Sui clan's elder then shifted his eyes towards the battle tank, "If our information is correct, there's only one Lu Zhen with such weapon made of metal. It can't be a coincidence. You are from the Imperial city's Genesis store, aren't you?"
Mark's facial expression changed as his identity was found out. He wondered whether they found it out because of how unique his battle tank is. But, then again, he can't do anything about it, can he? He was weak, after all.
Meanwhile, Alina continued to stay silent.
Assuming that he was right, Sui Hanying then said, "Once you cut off your ties with your current master and follow us, he will also gain a hundred thousand gold coins in return. All we need is a heartfelt apology from him towards our Patriarch."
"100 thousand?" Of all the stupid nonsense this enemy had spouted, Mark's attention was completely on that number. Was he tempted to sell her off? Of course not.
He even threw away 10 million gold coins offered by the second prince for the combined package of her, the helicopter, and the lottery ticket.
Mark was only thinking that this clan can afford to pay such a high amount if he was able to extort from them. After extorting three times, he has just been tempted once again.
Due to the telepathic connection between him and Alina, the latter understood what her master is thinking about. She felt like she needed a reason to capture them.
So, Alina replied to him, asking a simple question."What if we refuse to accept either of them?"
"Yes, that's it. Good job, Alina." Mark praised her inside his head.
However, the reply was something that Mark didn't like.
"We'll drag you and your master by force. Once we seal of your ether particles, he'll be imprisoned at our mines with the rest of our slaves while you will be sent to a brothel. We'll use everything to completely destroy you. No one can challenge the authority of the Sui clan and go unharmed." Sui Hanying said in a straight tone. It was as if he was saying the obvious.
"Does your Sui Clan even have the capability to do that? If you know who my master is, then, you should know what happened to the previous clan that challenged our master just like you are doing, right now." Alina let out a sneer as she asked. Since her interrogation skill doesn't work on him, she can only proceed with normal ways to extract the information that her master needed.
And as if everything goes what Alina wanted, Sui Hanying continued with his threats, giving additional information, boasting their mighty strength, "Hmpf, we aren't as weak as Song Clan. There are ten Elders in our clan, of which all of them are in the Six-circle realm. Even after that, our Partriach's father, Grand Elder Sui Rong, the one who sent us here is a seven-circle realm spirit warrior and is as strong as Supreme Commander Bai Xun.
That piece of metal and you cannot win. So, think carefully when you choose. There's Heaven on one side and there's hell on another side. The rest depends on your choice."
Sui Hanying's idea was quite simple. Give an opportunity to his enemies where everything goes peacefully and go all out if they chose to reject the peace. It works with all the people who aren't of the same status as them.
However, he met the wrong person, today. Mark isn't like other commoners. He was someone who vowed to bring down the whole Empire just because his biological mother abandoned him. He went on a rampage, a while ago, all because Song Clan threatened to put him in prison for a lifetime.
Now, would he stay silent and that too, when a certain familiar notification appeared before his eyes?
<strong>*Ding! You received an Emergency Quest, Free the slaves.</strong>

Accept?
"2 stat points, eh. Song Clan saw the might of Battle Tank and now, the Sui clan will see the might of the Eurocopter Tiger," Mark mumbled as he raised his index finger to click on accept. But, at the last second, he remembered about the teleportation function and refrained himself from accepting the quest. After all, there's something important that needs to be done.
Looking coldly at the four of them, Mark opened his mouth, "Alina, capture that elder and kill the other three."
The assassins heard it and their facial expressions hardened.
Sui Hanying narrowed his eyes as he said to Alina, "Your master chose down the hell route. But, your decision is the one that matters."
Alina didn't even respond to him and conjured two daggers made of dark energy. "Orders received."
She dashed forward.
