Blood Flower 2 | Jenlisa Adaptation

Chapter 397

"Isn't this daylight robbery?" Ashan looked towards the paper Lisa shoved to his face with a wry smile.

The content of the paper was the amount of money Lisa demanded for dragging them into this mess plus the interest.

Lisa crossed his arms, "Who chooses to drag us into this mess in the first place?"

"Even without me asking you for help, you still need to come here and finish the deal."

"If not because of your request, I will reject the trade straightaway the moment your little princess utters that demand."

Ashan shrugged and sighed to himself. He really shouldn't have involved the man before him. It only made him have to pay a large sum.

Thankfully, he could ask Prince Liao to help them since this was partially the other party's request.

May watched the two of them in a daze. After the fight finished and they cleaned up most of the mess, she found herself in this weird conversation.

From what she knew, Ashan and Lisa shouldn't have talked with each other about anything before this.

Did she miss something?

"You didn't have to strain your head," Jennie picked up the cup on the table, "We never really discuss anything in the Long Kingdom, but we receive Ashan's plead to help him."

"...I didn't plead."

"You just give hints here and there about the current situation in Gu Yue Kingdom," Jennie rolled her eyes.

"With that obvious gesture and your hard work to make yourself stay low, do you think we won't notice?"

Ashan rubbed his forehead. He tried to stay low to make Jennie know something was not right since he was the kind of person who was very confident in himself.

However, every time they negotiated or anything, he would stay in the back and act as an attendant to May.

As Jennie personally interacted with him in the past, she knew something was up.

Besides that, these two generals also realized that Steward Du was someone with high martial art.

However, it didn't seem like he was following the order because he followed after Ashan, but rather he was watching them.

"At least, my work is not in vain," Ashan said, "But can't you give me a more reasonable price?"

"No," Lisa answered decisively, "You have almost sent us to our doom, and you want me to give you a better price?"

With your ability, there was hardly any occasion anything could threaten you.

Ashan decided to not dwell on the matter any longer or he might not be able to handle this man's increasing demand.

He will just send Prince Liao a heads-up about this later.

"So, you're in Prince Liao's group?" Tae-Hwan can't help but ask.

Ashan nodded his head, "Previously, I was on Emperor's side. But when the battle for succession starts to rise, I have to choose a side and I finally pick Prince Liao.

However, Prince Sao also approached me, and that was the time I realized his real goal in wanting to get close to me. He has a lot of capable men, and I know I won't be his match alone."

If not because of that, he wouldn't have played along all these times just to make the couple in front of him help him.

They could just straightaway refuse, but since the two sides still need the trade, they finally come to terms.
