Everyone is smart, so don't underestimate the oath keepers.
This is Wen Yu blatantly robbing, or rather, openly collecting protection fees—especially now that the oath keepers are strong and robust, with thirty-eight peak level 8 professionals who are all fearless warriors capable of annihilating a small nation without a second thought.
Do you want us to become mercenaries, where you pay us to defend the borders, or do you want us to become bandits, killing demonic clan members while solely targeting your caravans?
You can choose for yourselves.
Of course, the nature of the oath keepers makes it impossible for them to turn into "bandits," engaging in acts of killing and looting. However, when people are desperate, they can resort to anything; these ambitious individuals dare not gamble on the integrity of the oath keepers.
Thus, offering tribute, or rather, paying protection fees became a necessity.
Watching the representatives from various countries eagerly open their wallets, Wen Yu gently nodded, instructing his deputy to go count the supplies, while he quietly left the conference room and arrived at the park outside the venue.
A gentle breeze blew, rustling the shadows of the trees. Wen Yu didn't wait long before footsteps approached him.
When Wen Yu turned around, he saw Yu's figure.
It had been a year since they last met, and Yu's elegance remained, but her aura had grown even more composed—saying that her strength had advanced would not be enough to describe Yu's growth.
However, Wen Yu himself was not made of clay.
The oath keepers fought valiantly on the front lines, and as the commander-in-chief, Wen Yu naturally reaped plenty of benefits—one of which was a limit breaking ability.
"Lord Yu."
Upon their reunion, although Wen Yu was no longer under Yu's command, he still maintained a respectful demeanor towards her.
"You've done well."
Yu coldly nodded, which made Wen Yu curl his lip.
Giving you face by calling you Lord, and you really are getting a bit too arrogant... This woman's emotional intelligence left Wen Yu speechless.
But who told her to be the leader of the fate beasts...
Wen Yu remained indifferent to Yu's cold attitude, simply lowering his head, patiently waiting for her next words.
And Yu indeed did not disappoint Wen Yu's "expectations."
"Come back, return to my side. I will make you a general and promise you in marriage, as long as you help me."
Yu's voice rang out softly, carrying a certain peculiar temptation.
In the flow of soul energy, without realizing it, she aimed to influence Wen Yu's judgment—just like when she recruited personal guards in the past.
Hearing this, Wen Yu was instantly speechless.
This girl always spoke and acted with a hint of pettiness, and her skin was thick, but this person had a solid backing...
Wen Yu feigned confusion.
"Help you? Help you with what?"
"Just help me... you understand..."
Yu's voice became even more tempting, and at that moment, her grace swayed as she gently bumped against Wen Yu, like lovers flirting.
This was the advantage of power...
The oath keepers had developed to the point where they had become a coveted treasure, and someone who was once as aloof as Yu also needed to unleash her ultimate technique—seduction.
Yu's soul energy grew heavier, her mental interference reaching its peak, while Wen Yu merely stared blankly at Yu until they were extremely close, at which point he spread his fingers and sharply slapped Yu's rear.
With a "smack."
The flesh jiggled, and Yu was instantly taken aback, while Wen Yu switched his attitude immediately.
At that moment, Wen Yu savored the feel of his palm, putting on a lecherous expression, and then looked at Yu with a big smile, his confusion gone!
"This is the price for your earlier mental interference against me."
Wen Yu said this as he took half a step back—he was also afraid, afraid that Yu would fly into a rage.
With his small frame, he couldn't withstand an enraged Yu.
Yet upon seeing Wen Yu's expression, Yu suddenly broke into a smile, her icy demeanor returning, not at all angered by being taken advantage of.
