Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 792 - 194. The crowd stunned by Fang Ze’s strength (6000)_3
Chapter 792: 194. The crowd stunned by Fang Ze’s strength (6000)_3
Having said this, Fang Ze did not continue further. He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and just sat there calmly waiting for Jia’s decision.
At this moment, having listened to Fang Ze’s analysis, Jia also fell into silence for a bit.
Because he knew Fang Ze’s analysis was right.
The Federation, though seemingly vast and resource-rich, had been developed over fifty years, and the entrenched beneficiaries had already monopolized all the opportunities. The powerful held a myriad of resources and would not share them with the weak. The weak had no resources to share.
Why were so many nobles eyeing Fang Ze? Wasn’t it because the resources he possessed were new and distributable?
So Fang Ze was right, they indeed had no choice.
But having no choice didn’t mean they had to accept such unequal partnership terms!
Thinking of those terms, Jia was momentarily so agitated that his forehead throbbed. Anyone unaware might think their family was in dire need of help and Fang Ze was here to assist!
Considering this, Jia slowly said, “Your analysis is not wrong. Your family indeed is the most suitable partner for the Jia Family.”
“However, this doesn’t mean the terms can be so harsh.”
He looked straight at Fang Ze and then continued slowly, “Because you also cannot do without us.”
“Your family might have resources, but it lacks the manpower to manage the city and the talent to govern it. That’s an internal problem.”
“You have provoked the Jiang Family and the Sima Family and yet have no demigods to stand guard; this is an external threat.”
Having said this, he paused. “Especially now that the Sima Family’s Ascension rank has arrived, you urgently need people to get through this challenge.”
“So not only do we need you, you also need us.”
Having finished saying this, Jia leaned back in his chair, placed his hands on the table, and looked at Fang Ze, saying, “So, let’s stop haggling here and tell me your real price, Fang Ze.”
At that moment, having said these words, Jia felt like he held the winning ticket.
After all, he believed his analysis was not wrong. This cooperation was essentially a scenario where separation meant mutual loss, while unity brought mutual benefit. Cooperation was definitely necessary; the only question was the price.
The Jia Family no longer harbored illusions of dominance, but they couldn’t afford to make a losing deal either!
Unfortunately for him, his expectations were clearly misguided. Having heard his words, Fang Ze just smiled and shook his head, saying, “I am sorry, Uncle. It seems you really have misunderstood.”
“This time, it’s truly you who cannot do without me, but I don’t really need you.”
Having said this, Fang Ze paused. “You must want to know why I am confident enough to say this, right?”
Seeing Jia nod, Fang Ze’s demeanor suddenly intensified, and his terrifying Yang Transformation stage power erupted, creating a minor Law Tide within the room!
“Yang Transformation stage?!” At that moment, the always cheerful Jia, who had been hiding his emotions, could no longer conceal his feelings and stood up abruptly, looking at Fang Ze in shock!
Li Xiang, standing beside him, also stared at Fang Ze with a face of surprise, her beautiful eyes rippling.
Meanwhile, the attendants outside, feeling the surge of energy from within the room, rushed in. But upon seeing that the outburst was emanating from Fang Ze, they too were rooted to the spot.
A moment later, Jia regained his composure. He waved at the attendants at the door, signaling them to leave.
And after the attendants had left, Jia looked at Fang Ze with an astonished face and said, “If I remember correctly, you were only at the Fusion stage not long ago. Have you already reached the Yang Transformation stage that quickly?”
Fang Ze smiled faintly, “Actually, if I want, I should be able to achieve Mortality-Shedding in another month.”
Hearing Fang Ze’s words, Jia could not help but look puzzled.
He intended to contradict, but then recalled that the person before him was a Monster endowed with great fortune and astonishing talent.
What ordinary people and geniuses cannot achieve might not necessarily be impossible for him. After all, no one has heard of anyone reaching the Yang Transformation realm within half a year in the last fifty years.
At this moment, Fang Ze continued as if he feared his words wouldn’t shock people to death, “Moreover, I’ve thought about it. As soon as I breakthrough the Mortality-Shedding, I will directly communicate with the World Origin, ignite the Divine Fire, and become a Demigod. To suppress the fortune of the Si Family.”
Upon hearing Fang Ze’s words, Jia was taken aback again.
At that time, Fang Ze glanced at him indifferently and said, “So do you understand why I said I don’t need you all anymore?”
“I… will soon become a Demigod and then I can completely forgo cooperating with you and enjoy all of the Si Family’s resources alone.”
Hearing this, Jia frowned slightly, his brain working rapidly. He asserted, “You won’t! With your talent, you can easily aim for higher goals; you absolutely won’t become a Demigod at the Mortality-Shedding stage and sacrifice your future!”
Fang Ze chuckled, “How do you know I won’t? Are you me?”
Jia opened his mouth but could not immediately respond to Fang Ze’s vexing question.
Fang Ze said, “Potential is potential, and if not realized, it remains dead.”
“Moreover, as you said, our Si Family is currently plagued with internal and external troubles, and the situation is dire. If I can’t become a Demigod, who knows what accidents might happen.”
“And…” Saying this, Fang Ze looked deeply at Jia and spoke with implication, “Are you sure the Federation is willing to see another Absolute Pinnacle Demigod?”
“And if not an Absolute Pinnacle, does it make any difference between an Ascension Demigod and a Mortality-Shedding Demigod in Xida State?”
Jia’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling that Fang Ze made sense.
An Absolute Pinnacle Demigod is too powerful; the Federation can’t control them. If another Absolute Pinnacle Demigod were to appear, it would mean relinquishing control of another state, which the Federation, always trying to lessen the power of the nobility and reclaim rights over the years, surely cannot allow.
Thus, if Fang Ze truly has the potential for Absolute Pinnacle and takes action, the Federation will likely ensure that Fang Ze meets an early demise…
If he cannot become Absolute Pinnacle, given the current situation in Xida State, indeed, there’s no difference between the realms of Demigods.
Considering this, Jia surprisingly felt ready to accept that Fang Ze might give up his potential to directly become a Demigod.
This also made him think for the first time that Fang Ze’s condition was not too harsh.
However, he soon realized something was off: Even if Fang Ze becomes a Demigod next month, he isn’t this month! The Sima Family is still blockading his house!
Thinking this, Jia couldn’t help but say, “Even if you indeed are about to become a Demigod, your current crisis can’t be resolved with next month’s strength, right?”
“The Sima Family is still relentlessly pursuing you.”
“We have to spend a lot of effort to settle the Sima Family for you. Doesn’t this merit more favorable terms?”
Hearing Jia’s words, Fang Ze just smiled and said confidently, “You’re mistaken again, uncle.”
“The Sima Family…” Fang Ze chuckled, “They’re just a house of cards.”
“I don’t need your help. I can handle this crisis myself.”
With that, Fang Ze stood up and then said to Jia, “Uncle, how about watching a drama?”
Jia was stunned for a moment, “A drama?”
Fang Ze nodded, “Yes. Watch how I make the Sima Family capitulate and apologize to me!”
Hearing Fang Ze’s words, Jia was dumbfounded for a moment, almost thinking Fang Ze was delirious…
You have captured the Young Master of the Sima Family, captured the Si Family’s top experts, and yet you expect the Sima Family to capitulate and apologize? Are you a kidnapper?
