What?
Denison: ( = ﾟ Д ﾟ = )
He was stunned!
He couldn't understand it. When he came in, he had considered many possibilities: Qin Jiang making demands, Qin Jiang thinking they were offering too little, Qin Jiang being greedy, or even agreeing readily. The only thing he hadn't imagined was this outcome: Qin Jiang completely disagreed and instead told him to get lost.
Seriously?
What is he thinking?
He won't even agree to such favorable terms? And even if you don't agree, shouldn't you say you'll consider it? Just telling him to leave...
What is going through his mind? Is he that arrogant? That confident? Does he look down on the opportunities others offer that much? The key is, I already gave the gift, and now you're telling me to get lost...
Old Batou, Black Blade, and White Whip were equally shocked. They also couldn't understand why Qin Jiang would refuse so decisively under such favorable conditions.
Is he really just too arrogant?
Does he not care for the opportunities others offer?
At this moment.
Qin Jiang stared coldly at Denison: Giving him an opportunity? Pulling him into a large organization for mutual development?
Heh...
Mutual development, my ass!
Loose management, my ass!
Strict confidentiality, my ass!
These are all just on the surface. Organizations like this sound like you get endless benefits upon joining, but where in this world is there a free lunch? The more benefits you get early on, the deeper you sink. When it's finally time for you to pay up, you won't be able to escape. Once you're on a pirate ship, you can't get off. Besides, do you really think this is a mutual aid organization? The relationships behind it are intricate and bottomless.
It's not an exaggeration to call it being a special kind of spy. Not to mention that joining is like planting a time bomb on yourself, even if there were truly no danger, he still wouldn't agree. He doesn't want to become a pawn in someone else's hands, betraying the land he was born in. In his eyes, there is more than just profit; there are brothers and his country.
How could he accept the solicitation of these foreign powers...
What did they take him, Qin Jiang, for?
Telling the other party to get lost was putting it lightly!
Denison: "Mr. Qin..."
Qin Jiang couldn't even be bothered to curse anymore; he waved his hand, signaling Zhao Shanhe to kick the person out.
Denison: "Mr. Qin, you can't be like this. Do you really not intend to accept such favorable terms?"
"Mr. Qin, there is an old Chinese saying: 'He who understands the times is a wise man'..."
"Mr. Qin, since you really don't want to cooperate, please return the qilin seal to me."
At this moment.
Denison: "Since you don't intend to cooperate, then..." He pointed to the qilin seal he had just presented on the table.
Qin Jiang glanced at the qilin seal: "You want it back..."
Denison: "Yes! And them..." He pointed at Old Batou and the other two: "The three of them also stole my things, and they need to be handed over too."
"Hahaha..." Qin Jiang laughed, pointed at Denison, and looked at Si Jiu: "He's asking me to hand over the things..."
Denison: "You... what are you laughing at?"
Qin Jiang: "Why should I hand over something that's in my hands?"
Denison: "The item was something I gifted to you. Now I don't want to give it, I want it back. Is there a problem with that?"
Qin Jiang pointed to the table beside him: there sat a large number of Qin Dynasty antiques gifted by various big shots.
Qin Jiang: "There are so many things gifted by people here. None of them are asking for them back, so why should you?"
"If you want them... go sue me... As for them stealing your things? Do you have evidence? If you don't have evidence, get lost immediately..."
Denison: "You..." His face flushed red with extreme anger: "Qin Jiang! Do you really want to go against me? Do you really think you're all that? This isn't the North Region, and it isn't the Pu Region. This is the high seas! There are no rules here..."
"Believe it or not, I can make you look bad here with a single word..."
"If you don't hand over the seal, you will pay the price..."
He was truly infuriated!
He had never felt so stifled when soliciting others. He had come with a smiling face and gifts, only to be shut out, which would have been fine, but Qin Jiang wouldn't even return the treasure he had gifted.
He was furious!
Did he really think he was easy to bully?
Who did he think he was? Did he think he had that much influence? Did he think, did he think, did he think?
As soon as these words were spoken.
Qin Jiang's calm expression suddenly changed. He looked up at Denison: "What did you just say?"
Denison: "Know fear now? I said if you don't take the seal, you'll pay the price."
Qin Jiang: "Not that sentence! The one before it!"
Denison: "I can make you look bad here with a single word..."
Qin Jiang: "The one before that!"
Denison: "I said this isn't your territory, it's the high seas! There are no rules here..."
Qin Jiang: "Right! That's exactly it! Have I really been too cautious all these years? I even forgot that I'm on the high seas now... There are no rules here..."
His voice gradually grew cold.
Swish!
He picked up the qilin seal and said: "You just said this was gifted to me..."
Denison: "Of course it is!"
Qin Jiang: "Just because you say you gifted it, it's yours? If you call out to it, does it answer? I'm telling you now: this qilin seal was mine to begin with; I bought it at an auction."
Denison: "You... what do you mean... don't think you can lie with your eyes open. Let me tell you: the wrapping that held the qilin seal has my name engraved on it! That is the strongest evidence! Are you trying to welch on the debt..."
Qin Jiang: "Your name..."
He unfolded the wrapping and sure enough, found the three characters 'Denison' inside. His expression couldn't help but turn even colder: "You actually dared to engrave your name on my item..."
Denison: ( = ﾟ Д ﾟ = )
Seriously?
Do you want to listen to what you're saying? What do you mean I engraved my name on your item? That is clearly my item. You are really good at twisting black into white.
But the next moment.
Something even more unbelievable happened.
Qin Jiang said coldly: "You dare to come to my place, Qin Jiang's friend, and engrave your name on my item? I think you're really looking for death..."
"Beat him... Beat him hard..."
At the command.
Whoosh...
Zhao Shanhe stepped forward and kicked him:
Bang!
With one kick, he sent Denison crashing to the ground, where he clutched his stomach and screamed:
"Ah..."
The other Black Dragon Personnel went up and, without hesitation, followed suit, beating Denison mercilessly:
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Denison was beaten into a daze, clutching his head on the ground, rolling, screaming, and cursing:
"Ah... Qin Jiang... You actually dare to have people beat me... Do you know who I am... Ah... I'm tight with the cruise ship manager? You hit me... You're finished... Stop... Stop hitting me..."
At this moment.
Qin Jiang walked to the window, looked at the sea outside, threw the handkerchief with Denison's name engraved on it into the sea, and said calmly:
"The high seas... we can choose not to follow the rules... Very well..."
