Not only because of the resources, but also because of the confidential project. That project required too much resources and could not be delayed.
As he thought about it, he immediately contacted Yu Mu. "King Ye is about to come out of seclusion. If this matter isn't resolved, I won't have a good time, and you'll be in an even worse state. This whole thing started because of your stupidity."
Yu Mu ended the call, and his eyes flickered. Shamrock Enterprises wasn't afraid of the Great Eastern Alliance, but they couldn't afford to suffer such great losses. The Great Eastern Alliance's preparations were far too thorough, and this had completely exceeded his expectations.
Helpless, Yu Mu finally contacted Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was already very close to the Fennel Flowzone, and he had left the matter of dealing with Shamrock Enterprises to Qiong Xi'er. He had not interfered since it would not cause too much of a ruckus. Shamrock Enterprises knew about Lu Yin's background, and it was impossible for them to escalate into a full-blown war. Now, it all depended on who would compromise first and who would not be able to hold back.
His gadget beeped, and he glanced at it. His lips curled up as he answered, "Speak."
Yu Mu's voice rang out. "Alliance Master Lu, I was wrong about Director Cong Ying. I can compensate you."
"The Hall of Honor is one of the nine directors of the Hall of Honor, and you're specifically targeting my Great Eastern Alliance. Can you afford to compensate me?"
Yu Mu clenched his fists. "Alliance Master Lu, you've already made it impossible for Shamrock Enterprises to gain a foothold in Border Mountain. Do you really want to become enemies with Shamrock Enterprises?"
"Are you threatening me?"
"I wouldn't dare. With Alliance Master Lu's current status, I, Yu Mu, am only a nobody. Please give me a chance. Both Shamrock Enterprises and the Great Eastern Alliance hope to end this dispute."
"You're the ones who started this conflict."
Yu Mu felt helpless. He had been very happy when he had started the conflict, but who would have thought that the Great Eastern Alliance would be so well-prepared? They had completely treated Shamrock Enterprises as their mortal enemy and had not played by the rules. This had caused Shamrock Enterprises to suffer losses that exceeded their initial estimates, and their subsequent losses might even affect their grand plan. This was absolutely unacceptable.
"Alliance Master Lu, you can take a look at the data I sent you. It's only been half a month since the conflict began, but the Great Eastern Alliance has already lost three times as many cultivators as usual due to the lack of timely medical supplies. Moreover, this number will only increase due to the conflict. This is not a good thing for the Great Eastern Alliance," Yu Mu said.
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow. "So many losses?"
"The data is proof," Yu Mu said seriously.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "I didn't even manage to check the Great Eastern Alliance's data, but you managed to do it before me. Impressive."
Yu Mu's heart sank, and his voice was a little hoarse. "Shamrock Enterprises has accumulated a lot of information and data over the years. It's not difficult to calculate them."
Lu Yin did not harp on this point. Data was a weapon, and he was clear that he would leave this matter to Wei Rong, as he had to obtain Shamrock Enterprises' data. "So, does Boss Yu intend to resolve this dispute with just a few words?"
"I, Yu Mu, am willing to pay the price and do my best," said Yu Mu.
Lu Yin thought about it. "There's nothing about you that's worth my attention."
Yu Mu asked, "Alliance Master Lu, do you know anything about King Ye?"
"Tell me about it."
"The Leaf King is the founder of Shamrock Enterprises. He has a long history, and even Master Yuan might not be his match. He represents creation and healing, and his combat power is at least over a million. It's not that Shamrock Enterprises doesn't have the ability to move our headquarters to Jie Mountain, but we haven't done so. Although we can't compare to the Mavis Bank and Aurora Corporation, we still have the ability to protect ourselves."
。
"Offending King Ye over a meaningless dispute isn't a good thing for Alliance Master Lu," Yu Mu said slowly. He was not threatening Lu Yin, and his words were rather pertinent.
Lu Yin replied, "Offending such a powerhouse is indeed unwise. Then, let's talk about compensation."
Yu Mu's eyes lit up. "Please."
"Shamrock Enterprises is supposed to provide ten times the resources to the Great Eastern Alliance. At the same time, Shamrock Enterprises will bear all of the losses caused by this dispute. Don't try to deny it. You've already shown me the data," Lu Yin said.
Yu Mu was stunned, as he had never thought that the data that he had used to convince Lu Yin would become the standard for compensation. "Alliance Master Lu, your request is too much."
"I'm not discussing this with you. This dispute is just a small matter, and I'm not getting involved. If I do, I can mobilize Leon's Armada to stop Shamrock Enterprises' development in the Cosmic Sea. I can also mobilize the Sirius Sect to stop your development in the Neoverse. I forgot to tell you, but I'm now a disciple of the Sirius Sect. I don't even need to bow when I see the sect master," Lu Yin said slowly. He did not care if Yu Mu could accept this request, as Yu Mu did not have the qualifications to agree to his conditions.
"I have to report this to the higher-ups," Yu Mu said helplessly.
Lu Yin immediately hung up.
"Aren't you afraid that he won't agree?" Luo Shen was curious, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin replied, "It doesn't matter. They don't have a choice whether they agree or not."
"Then, what about the medicine?" Luo Shen asked.
Lu Yin smiled. "I'll ask the Hall of Honor for it. There are a few directors helping me, so I won't run out of medicine."
Luo Shen nodded and looked at Lu Yin with admiration. Lu Yin enjoyed this gaze, but he found it hard to accept Luo Shen's feelings. He could only wait for time to fade away.
One day later, just as Lu Yin was about to reach Fennel Flowzone, his gadget beeped again. It was an unfamiliar number. Lu Yin accepted the call, and a pleasant voice answered, "Alliance Master Lu?"
"You are?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
"Shamrock Enterprises' Innerverse President, Balsam."
Lu Yin was stunned. "So it's the Innerverse President. Yan is your secretary?"
"That's right. Does Alliance Master Lu have time?
Let's have a chat, "Balsam said.
Lu Yin replied, "Go ahead."
Balsam switched the call to a screen, and Lu Yin's eyes lit up. He had never thought that the President of Shamrock Enterprises' Innerverse would be such a stunning beauty.
Lu Yin's gaze was pure, and there were no distracting thoughts. Balsam met his gaze and calmly said, "Shamrock Enterprises is not afraid of competition or war. However, we are businessmen, and if we can solve problems with money, we try not to use force."
"So you agree to my conditions?" Lu Yin asked.
"The Outerverse's Shamrock Enterprises has already allocated a lot of resources to the Great Eastern Alliance. Those resources were originally provided to deal with the Sixth Mainland, and even after the war with the Sixth Mainland ended, we did not withdraw those resources. This is a sign of respect to the Great Eastern Alliance."
"Thank you," Lu Yin said, as he was aware of this.
"Every year, although those resources aren't much, they aren't little either. After all, they are provided to the enormous Great Eastern Alliance. But if we increase those resources by ten times, do you know what that means?
It means that the Outerverse's Shamrock Enterprises will be on the verge of collapse, and they will only be able to replenish their resources from the Innerverse. "
Lu Yin did not believe her.
Balsam tried her best to appear sincere.
She intentionally explained the situation of Shamrock Enterprises' operations to Lu Yin.
"If we increase our resources by ten times every year, it will be quite a burden for Shamrock Enterprises. Since we previously provided a lot of resources to the Great Eastern Alliance, Alliance Master Lu should be able to sense Shamrock Enterprises' sincerity."
Lu Yin did not know whether she was telling the truth or not, as he did not have any talent for business. Qiong Xi 'er was able to argue with Balsam, but he did not even have the heart to argue with her. He immediately took out the red bell that was the head referee's command token.
Balsam's pupils shrank, and she stared at Lu Yin in shock.
Lu Yin raised a hand, and the stars revolved, transforming into Sirius' swordsmanship.
Balsam was shocked once again.
"You should understand what Sirius' swordsmanship means to the Sirius Sect, and you should also understand the significance of this bell. In that case, if you include the influence it will have on the nine directors, then I'd like to hear what kind of price Shamrock Enterprises will have to pay if they want to stop this dispute."
This dispute had started because of Shamrock Enterprises, and Lu Yin also wanted compensation from Shamrock Enterprises. He did not think that he would be able to subdue Shamrock Enterprises with a single dispute, as that was not realistic. Thus, he had also agreed to Qiong Xi 'er's request not to interfere. Now that Balsam had specifically contacted him, he knew that this dispute would not last for long. The only issue was compensation, so there was no need to drag it out any longer.
Balsam knew that Lu Yin could influence the nine directors and that he had a good relationship with the head referee and Elder Chan, but she had never thought that Lu Yin would even have the head referee's command token. Furthermore, his cultivation of Sirius' swordsmanship had allowed her to understand Lu Yin's status in the Sirius Sect.
Furthermore, he had Master Yuan, Everlasting Sky Island, and the Lockbreaker Society behind him. All of these factors added up to make Lu Yin's status incomparably high.
Balsam had never thought that a youth like Lu Yin would be able to reach such a level. The halo of the Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Master had attracted all of their attention, and they had neglected the even more terrifying influence behind him.
To be able to become the president of Shamrock Enterprises' Innerverse, Balsam was much more decisive than Lu Yin.
"Ten times the resources is impossible. I'm willing to pay 500 million star essence to resolve this dispute as well as compensate the Great Eastern Alliance for the losses caused by the lack of medicine. Alliance Master Lu, this is the bottom line that I can accept," Balsam said.
Ten times the resources was not as much as 500 million star essence, but that was an amount that had to be paid every year. Adding it all up over many years was not a simple matter. Furthermore, Shamrock Enterprises had the money, and they were only afraid that they would run out of medicine, which would cause them to be unable to operate. That would be the worst-case scenario.
Lu Yin agreed, and the dispute ended there. Shamrock Enterprises would be on high alert against the Great Eastern Alliance because of this dispute, but this time, only Qiong Xi 'er had acted. Wei Rong, who was the most sinister, had not acted. Next time, when Lu Yin was ready, he would swallow Shamrock Enterprises whole.
His main concern was still the mysterious Leaf King.
"Right, stop the dispute, and don't spread the news of the compensation. It'll be beneficial to both of us," Lu Yin reminded.
Balsam took a deep look at Lu Yin, and her heart filled with boundless apprehension. This person had just ended his dispute with Shamrock Enterprises, and now he was scheming against others. It was no wonder why he could become the Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Master and unify the Outerverse.
500 million star essence was not a lot to Lu Yin, but it was not a small amount either.
Qiong Xi 'er received an order to stop all actions against Shamrock Enterprises and return everything to normal.
However, she also received another order at the same time: "Shamrock Enterprises' Recapture Plan." There were only nine words, and the rest were to be filled in by Qiong Xi 'er and Wei Rong.
Lu Yin did not need to do everything himself.
He looked up and saw that they had arrived at Fennel Flowzone.
