Abyss Summoner-Chapter 285 - 280: Revealing the Cards

As Chen Feng sat down in the chair.

Feng Zhiyong gazed deeply at Chen Feng, a mood of exploration spreading, yet without apparent hostility. After a while, he slowly said, "Sometimes, I really feel like you can predict the future. Whether it was our encounter at the Economic Development Zone or the true form of Hong Jiuling, you seem to know it all."

Predict the future?

Chen Feng was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, but he quickly reacted.

"I want to thank you on behalf of everyone, your sharpness and caution saved us all. I can't imagine, if things had deteriorated further, what kind of atrocities monsters like Hong Jiuling would have committed in Bridge East!"

So that's what this is about.

Chen Feng showed a brief moment of contemplation but said nothing.

He didn't want to offer any explanation, saying more would naturally lead to more mistakes, and this way, maintaining silence added an air of mystery.

Feng Zhiyong paused for a moment, then spoke slowly, "I'd like to discuss our potential cooperation. Just now in the meeting, some people weren't very trusting of you, but I hope you understand that after something as big as the Hong Jiuling incident, they are bound to be fearful of anyone."

Straight to the point.

This leader of Bridge East didn't hide anything, instead, he directly revealed the content of their earlier discussion to Chen Feng.

His expression turned serious, and he spoke lowly, "No matter how others talk about you, I believe in you. Not for any other reason, your insight goes beyond ordinary people, it's as if you have an innate ability to sense danger and always make the right choice at the right time."

"Chen Feng."

"I am in favor of cooperating with you. I believe that with you here, Bridge East can avoid many dangers."

"Now, let's discuss the terms of our deal."

Feng Zhiyong gave Chen Feng an affirming look, clearly, these decisions were made after much consideration rather than on a whim.

Chen Feng would never forget the decisive moment when Feng Zhiyong ordered the shooting of a companion during the encounter with the warped beast. Everything he did was not for a few individuals but out of consideration for the bigger picture.

Just like now.

Even though some high-level figures strongly opposed forming a real alliance with Chen Feng, fearing he might exploit them, Feng Zhiyong did the opposite. He understood that only by binding Chen Feng with Bridge East, could the other party offer everything to this place.

Foresight.

Feng Zhiyong's ability to reach his current position was largely due to his foresight.

Clapped his hands.

Some warriors approached carrying a box.

The box was opened, and inside lay neatly arranged guns. With the arsenal, Feng Zhiyong could continuously produce guns and ammunition.

Furthermore, these guns were not ordinary.

They emitted a scent of blood, clearly enhanced by Tian Xuefeng, sealing in the souls of some monsters to boost their attack power.

Chen Feng picked up a gun and pulled the trigger. A bullet shot directly into the wall.

"Boom!"

A thunderous noise.

The hard wall was pierced with a hole the size of a watermelon.

In terms of destructive power, if some ordinary people wielded such weapons and fired simultaneously, even a silver-level warrior couldn't completely evade.

Very good.

Feng Zhiyong clearly had shown his sincerity.

Chen Feng nodded and said, "I want five hundred of these weapons, and I can provide the souls."

Feng Zhiyong and Tian Xuefeng exchanged a glance. The refining process wasn't difficult; the main challenge was the raw materials. Now that Chen Feng claimed to provide them, the deal was acceptable.

"In return, the Economic Development Zone will supply Bridge East with a batch of bug meat, approximately ten thousand pounds."

"Additionally, I have a subordinate who specializes in botany. After a period of research, he has improved many food supplies with massive yield, no side effects for humans, and more importantly, harvesting time is quick, every half month with sufficient energy."

"Due to the Devil's rampage, some buildings in Bridge East were damaged, but that's not a problem. Not long ago, I captured some monsters. Although they aren't powerful, they are highly skilled in construction. With their help, Bridge East's defenses will reach a new level."

"Additionally, I can transform a batch of skeletons for Bridge East. One of my subordinates has this ability. As long as there are enough bodies, it won't take long to assemble an Undead Army, which can be dispatched in emergencies, significantly reducing the mortality rate of ordinary people."

"More importantly, in times of need, I will send some strong folks to guard Bridge East, ready to arrive at the first sign of crisis and join the fight."

Chen Feng finished speaking in one breath.

In just a few minutes, he promised Bridge East numerous benefits in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, his offerings far exceeding their deal's value.

Even the usually staid Han Qiang now looked surprised, staring at Chen Feng and quickly calculating what ulterior motive he could have for such generosity.

Chen Feng wasn't an idiot.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone from an ordinary person to his current wealth and status in such a short time. People like him never fought battles they couldn't win and never suffered losses.

Han Qiang couldn't believe that Chen Feng was acting out of righteousness, especially agreeing to create a batch of Skeleton Warriors for Bridge East.

What exactly was his purpose?

As the instigator, Chen Feng appeared calm, casually picking up a teacup and savoring it for a moment before speaking, "I know all this far exceeds the value of the guns, so I have an additional condition."

Feng Zhiyong took a deep breath, clearly tempted by Chen Feng's offer, but he suppressed his agitation and asked, "What condition?"

The power Chen Feng displayed was evident to Feng Zhiyong and the others. With his presence in Bridge East, the city's security would greatly increase.

Chen Feng looked at Feng Zhiyong in front of him and slowly said, "Trust but verify. After the Hong Jiuling incident, I need to be more cautious. A single wrong step could lead to inexorable downfall."

"Therefore, I want to designate a cooperation partner, and all future transactions will be conducted with her alone."

"I don't want resources falling into the hands of conspirators but used efficiently, so my partner must have more authority to ensure they're not coveted by schemers."

Feng Zhiyong frowned slightly, staring deeply at Chen Feng. This seemingly ordinary request concealed many hidden blades. Having more authority clearly suggested an intent to seize power.

Who exactly?

What person could Chen Feng be willing to offer so many benefits for, just to give them an opportunity to rise?

He spoke slowly, "I want to know, what's this person's name."

Chen Feng glanced at him and answered, "Rest assured, the person I've chosen isn't a remnant of the conservatives. You're very familiar with her; she's right beside you... Xu Hongzhuang, Major Xu!"
