It is indeed powerful.
However! When Jie Su heard this price, he was somewhat incredulous.
Why? Because the price was too low.
This made Jie Su have doubts in his heart.
Five billion five hundred million, this was the price the Su Clan intended to offer, of course, it was a price that didn't require anyone to die.
Or rather, it was a price to buy Elder Huo Zhi back alive.
As for whether the Hall People would pursue the matter after leaving here, no one could guarantee that, but it shouldn't be pursued too vigorously, at most, they would just develop a hostile attitude towards the Su Clan and the Alliance of Small Races in Dark Strip City in the future.
But at least, they could get past today’s hurdle.
The Su Clan was clear; didn’t Prince Delma understand this?
No, he understood very well.
A person who could elevate his rank by dozens of positions in just over a decade, if he couldn’t comprehend this little matter, it would be underestimating those heirs he had dealt with harshly or made disappear.
If he were to ask for three billion or four billion, Jie Su wouldn’t be surprised at all; he would even think that the price was more credible.
After all, this was a golden opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Being soft-hearted? Kind? That didn't exist.
They would definitely take the chance to stab you in the back.
This is the relationship between races.
Direct, brutal, and cold-blooded, without a trace of affection, pity, or leniency.
If the second method were chosen, it could solve the problem once and for all; at that time, the Su Clan would be facing not a Hall person with a blood feud, but a Lena person who knows the secret.
The impact and harm that both would bring to the Su Clan in the future would definitely be different.
To put it plainly, with the Hall people, it’s ‘this matter is not yet over’, but with the Lena people, it’s ‘you slandered me’.
One must bear responsibility, while the other can deny everything.
That’s the difference, so Jie Su didn’t believe Delma would be so kind as to only ask for two billion, especially considering that even as support, it would still involve casualties, and they would be dealing with a peak expert equipped with divine level equipment.
How would losses be calculated then?
Moreover, this was Delma's private action, but once they united against the Hall people, this matter would definitely be known by the Lena people at a higher level.
After all, there were so many warriors participating in the battle.
So, would a mere two billion be enough to satisfy this most powerful race?
Especially on the basis of five billion five hundred million?
Jie Su felt it was highly unlikely; the Lena people would definitely think they were asking for too little because offending the equally powerful Hall people would make the risk and reward disproportionate.
Since that’s the case, would Delma make such a mistake?
No, so Delma wasn't telling the truth. What was his real purpose?

While Prince Delma and Jie Su were negotiating, Kiersail Ting was also talking with Kunz over on the Hall people's side.
“Lord Kunz, how are you considering this?”
Kiersail Ting said.
Kunz looked at this peer expert in front of him, frowning in contemplation.
The central idea of this person who approached him was clear: The Lena people could stand alongside the Hall people, using this matter to suppress and exploit the Su Clan, taking the opportunity to weaken this third pole of the All Races of the Universe.
If they could use this to make the Su Clan unable to recover or even lead to their demise, that would be even better.
Of course, this required a benefit fee.
If proposed in the council of all races, with two super races applying pressure together, the Su Clan would basically have no resistance.
The Lena people wanted 20% of all subsequent benefits.
If they were to solve the problem here first, vent their frustrations, and then go out to settle accounts with the Su Clan, then it would be a clear and fixed price: all the spoils from the Su Clan and the Alliance of Small Races, along with two hundred million years gold and compensation for all Lena warriors who died in battle.
