Chapter 969 Heavy losses? !

With just two sentences, Shi Jinglei was speechless.

After a long silence, the leader of the slave group continued to speak:

"The Palu star belt is located in a remote area and has indeed been in a state of autonomy for a long time, but fundamentally speaking, it is still under the jurisdiction of the Storm Star Region!"

"Our slave group has never failed to pay the taxes that should be paid!"

"As the overlord of the Storm Star Region, you should provide us with appropriate protection!"

The King of the Cold Wind smiled slightly and did not respond to Shi Jinglei immediately.

Instead, he raised his fingers slightly, creating a palm-sized mini tornado that quickly rolled up the pile of nut-like snacks in front of him.

There is no next step.

I just watched them shaking up and down in the air nonchalantly, as if admiring their helplessness.

Shi Jinglei waited for a while, and seeing that Lingfeng still hadn't responded to him, he urged him a little angrily:

"Corleone, I'm talking to you!"

"I'm not deaf." The King of the Wind continued to move his fingertips, with no intention of stopping.

"It's true that your slave group paid taxes, but it's not that my people didn't provide you with 'services' either."

"Didn't the Overlord Army send two generals here before the demonic tide broke out?"

"If I remember correctly, one is Sun Minjie, the Golden Boot, and the other is Austin, the Golden Boot."

"Moreover, after the demonic tide broke out, the overlord armies of the Storm Star Region and the Neptune Star Region also immediately sent a large number of reinforcements to the Palu Star Belt."

“We are completely exchanging equal value.”

Shi Jinglei's face turned pale, and he forced himself to change the subject:

"It's true that you sent people over to assist in the defense, and you did provide reinforcements immediately after the demonic tide broke out."

"But the total losses in the Palu star belt far exceed the extent of this demonic tide!"

"After preliminary investigation, my people found that many Palu stars in the star belt have been robbed ruthlessly!"

"Herbs, minerals, monster materials, equipment items, admission tickets...even the Palu slaves were not spared!"

"Tell me, these looting behaviors were all done by monsters!?"

Lin Feng was stunned when he heard this, and was obviously a little surprised.

But soon, the image of the "weak" woman who once stood beside Lu Li emerged in his mind.

And in the process of stopping the spread of the demonic tide, many generals passed on battlefield intelligence to him.

During the outbreak of the demonic tide,

In addition to the Overlord Army and the Slave Group's mercenaries who were fighting against the monsters, there seemed to be a large team that had infiltrated.

They are not strong in combat, but they are well-trained.

Because they did not obstruct the actions of the Overlord Army and even provided considerable assistance, the specific origins of this team were not investigated in depth at the time.

Now that I think about it, it should be the people brought by Lu Li.

After figuring out the key points, Lin Feng immediately adjusted his facial expression so that Shi Jingtian, who was sitting across the long table, would not notice anything unusual.

Still using the same annoying tone as before, he naturally replied:

"How the hell would I know?"

"I am the Overlord of the Star Domain, not the Demon Lord of the Demon Domain."

"The monsters won't report to me what they want to do or what they want to take."

"However, based on previous confrontation experience, the situation you described above is also very normal."

"This is not normal at all!" Shi Jinglei finally couldn't suppress his anger anymore and slammed the table:

"Corleone, don't think I'm an idiot who knows nothing!"

"Most of the monsters in the demonic tide are in a very frenzied state."

"Their primary priority is to desecrate and pollute, not to plunder various resources so specifically!"

"It's obviously you, the Overlord Army, who are taking advantage of the situation!"

"You, the Overlord Army, are committing dereliction of duty!"

The atmosphere at the scene was dead silent again.

The King of the Wind chuckled again and cursed:

"Hold."

"You are so polite. You went around in circles for so long and now you come and put such a big hat on me."

"Malfeasance? Haha, do I still have to give you an explanation?"

"I got to the position of overlord by my own strength. Do I need to give you an explanation?!"

"I'm telling you, Shi Jinglei, I'm not trying to steal your money now."

"If I really robbed it, what can you do to me?!"

"Don't accept it? Let's challenge him!"

"You!" Shi Jinglei's eyelids twitched, and his tone softened a little:

"As the overlord of the star field, at least you should invest manpower to investigate and be responsible for this matter!"

"You want me to take responsibility if something goes wrong?" Lin Feng's expression was playful and his voice was cold:

"Where's sincerity?"

"When I sent two warriors to inform you, you did not meet them in person, but only sent your son Shi Aotian."

"When my people suggested that you be on high alert, you did not listen and acted, but just deployed defenses hastily."

"Even now that something has happened and the Palu Belt has suffered serious damage, your attitude remains bad."

"You are even unwilling to address me by my honorific title, calling me the King of the Wind."

"You have no respect for me at all."

The words come to this point,

The nuts that were suspended in the air by the mini tornado suddenly made a cracking sound, and quickly disintegrated into fine powder in the turbulent airflow.

Shi Jinglei was startled, with a look of deep fear in his eyes.

No one answered.

The King of the Wind threw the mini tornado filled with nut powder to the side, leaned back in his chair, scanned the entire conference hall, and continued:

"On weekdays, the top leaders of the slave group are very secretive. If you want to talk to me about something, you can't even find me."

"Today, everyone is here..."

"I think this is a rare opportunity. Why don't we settle the old accounts that have accumulated?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other senior leaders of the slave group all changed.

Those who reacted quickly had already stood up from their seats and prepared to escape.

But the generals under Lin Feng are even faster!

The entrance had already been blocked tightly, and even the restriction on leaving had been opened.

You can only enter the entire conference hall, not leave.

"Don't be afraid..." King of the Wind moved his legs off the table, a smile spread across his face, and he slowly stood up:

"The entire Storm Star Region knows that I, the King of the Wind, love to reason the most."

"We will only settle accounts, and will never involve personal grudges, let alone seek revenge."

"But if you don't understand what I'm saying, I'm confident that I have some skills in boxing and kicking."

Shi Jinglei stared at the King of Cold Wind for a long time, and suddenly chuckled:

"Corleone, if violence could have forced us to submit, you would have done it decades or even centuries ago when my father was still in power."

"You don't understand the Palu Star Belt at all. Without us, you won't be able to dig out wealth from this 'gold mine'!"

"Indeed." Instead of refutation, Lin Feng nodded in agreement:

"Even if I am the overlord of the star field, I can't take care of everything, especially managing this kind of star belt that is far away from the center and located in a remote area."

"But just because you don't cooperate doesn't mean others won't cooperate."

"So I advise you to face reality and don't cause trouble for yourself."

"Will others cooperate?" Shi Jinglei sneered:

"Give up. All the high-ranking members of the slave group present have signed the oath contract. Not one of them will surrender to you."

"Who told you that my partner is here?" Lin Feng also laughed, his smile was much more rampant than Shi Jinglei's:

"Come in, my new group leader."

As the words fell, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Everyone turned their heads to look,

After seeing the face of the person who appeared, everyone was stunned.
