Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1646 - 1540: Compromise

"I have a proposal," Song Yun said with a smile.

"What proposal?"

"I can let two of you leave, but one person must be left behind as a hostage. Once this whole affair is over, I’ll release the other person. It’s the only acceptable method," Song Yun said with a smile.

"Who will stay?" the child asked with interest.

"Him." Song Yun pointed at Fen Ya. This guy is too smart. Plus, he previously had inappropriate designs on my wife; tonight, I plan to deal with him first. Hong Sect needs to pay some price today; I’ve already lost two Spider Web members.

Fen Ya’s expression changed. "No, I don’t agree."

He’s such a clever person. He immediately understood Song Yun’s thoughts. It’s impossible for the child to stay as a hostage, and Bian Yan, they don’t want him either.

So, he is the inevitable choice. If they leave, how will he escape? Integrity? That’s bullshit. I might die here in the next second, and you’re talking to me about integrity now, isn’t that a joke?

"What do you think?" Song Yun turned to ask the child.

"I think it’s a good proposal," the child nodded seriously.

"Then let’s do it," Song Yun said with a smile.

"No, I don’t agree. He’s trying to kill me. If you make this exchange, Sect Master won’t let you off when you return; you should know my status in his eyes." Fen Ya yelled at the child, his face grim.

"Yeah, it’s really troublesome. If I agree with you, the Sect Master will kill both of us when we return; he’s the favorite general of the Sect Master," the child said helplessly.

"No more negotiation. This is my bottom line, and I won’t back down." Song Yun said angrily.

"Yes, it’s a real dilemma," the child nodded, suddenly laughing. "Hehe, this is good. Anyway, unlike you guys, I have no status, no women. Every time I go out with women, I must endure their contemptuous looks. Life is meaningless. Or maybe we should all die together? With Sect Master, the Twin Kings, and such a beautiful lady, we might even make the newspapers and TV tomorrow, dying like this is glorious."

The child became increasingly cheerful and laughed joyfully. Then he looked at the remote control in his hand with a gesture as if he was about to throw it into the air.

The Spider Web members also started preparing; as soon as the remote control left his hand, they would frantically shoot at the three people surrounded in the middle, until their bodies were shattered.

The situation became more tense.

"What? Are you all nervous? Don’t want to die?" the child said, playing with the remote in his hand and observing the expressions of those around him, speaking happily.

"Yeah, I’m good-looking, have money to spend, and so many women like me. Of course, I don’t want to die." Song Yun squinted at the child’s hand, ready to jump up and snatch the remote at any moment. But the move was too difficult; Fen Ya and Bian Yan were blocking the child’s front, rushing over would definitely engage them. As long as they blocked me for just one move, the child could press the remote, and I might end up in deep trouble today; the consequences would be dire.

The child nodded. "Indeed, you stand at the top of the crowd, dressed in fine clothes and accompanied by beautiful women. Dying is a pity. But I’m different from you, I want to die."

Song Yun waved a hand, smilingly comforting him: "Don’t think so negatively. Actually, you’re not bad; you’re handsome in a certain group."

"Oh, which group?" the child asked interestedly.

"The disabled group," Song Yun squinted and smiled.

The expression on the child’s face froze; he stared at Song Yun with eyes full of sharp malice. Song Yun had hit his weak spot. The word "disabled" was taboo for him. Everyone who spoke these words in front of him died, including his parents.

"You deserve to die," the child said to Song Yun, word by word.

"Same goes for you," Song Yun said with a smile.

"Then let’s all die together," the child grabbed the remote control, ready to smash it on the ground.

"Child, don’t," Fen Ya stopped him loudly. Turning to the child, he spoke seriously: "Trust me. As long as we survive today, I’ll help you kill him later. I hate him just as much as you do."

The child’s eyes turned red. His hand movements slowed down. With an uncertain gaze, he looked at Fen Ya, then turned his eyes to Song Yun. "I’ll ask one last time, release him or not? If we get beyond a certain distance, the remote won’t work with what I planted around here. You can send us to a distance you consider safe, then release him."

The child then waved the remote control in his hand and laughed madly: "Otherwise, we’ll die here, and your woman will accompany us in death. Haha, I actually hope you choose the latter."

Song Yun glanced toward the direction of the courtyard, then looked at the child, who he provoked into wanting to end it all, and said with a smile: "Alright, I’ll let him go."

Song Yun is a petty man.

Letting go of two handsome men who came to the door is really something Song Yun couldn’t bear.

If he doesn’t take the chance to kill them today and they return to Hong Sect, they’ll be a hidden threat in the future.

Given their failure today and being humiliated by him, they’ll definitely find ways to deal with him in the future. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

People who think they’re super capable always like to make the mistake of underestimating the enemy; Song Yun knows they underestimated him today, it’ll be hard to catch them later, especially Fen Ya—I really want to slash his neck, I’m going crazy thinking about it.

But Song Yun doesn’t dare to gamble. If it were any other bet, he’d take the risk, but this time it involves his woman. He won’t allow any harm to come to her.

No one else can, not even himself; and he’s aware of the child’s terrifying side, so he can only choose to compromise.

Both sides reached a consensus, and a Spider Web member sent by Song Yun drove back—an almost brand-new black Audi, with no scratches on the exterior. The man drove the car right next to the child, then stopped.

The car is here, so Song Yun has to think about how to fit these three people into it. Moreover, his own people must also fit inside, to prevent any accidents. He and Xia Tian definitely have to get in, plus a few Spider Web members; unfortunately, there’s not enough room in the car, and the child surely won’t agree to let anyone else in.

Fortunately, another car drove up behind, solving the allocation issue. Anyway, with Xia Tian and Lin Yi, Lin Er by my side, as long as the child doesn’t cause any trouble, they’ll make it out safely.
