“Compensation?”

As the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa only felt a throbbing pain in his scalp at the moment.

But faced with this situation, he could only sigh and said,

“What kind of compensation would you like, sir?”

“The Harkonnen Family, for example, can compensate with Spice and Holtzman Shields, depending on how much stock you have right now.”

Tao Yu glanced at Fide, who was missing hands and feet but still clung to life, speaking with a calmness in his voice.

It seemed almost a matter of course.

This made Fide, who lay on the ground, flicker in his eyes, and then he took the initiative to speak,

“No problem, I’m willing to provide these compensations, but I currently don’t have any real power…”

Hearing Fide’s words, Tao Yu couldn’t help but laugh.

This guy still wants to take advantage of this moment to seize power?

Nevertheless, from his perspective, it seemed indeed so.

The Pioneers currently had a peace agreement signed with the Harkonnen Family.

Of course, this peace agreement itself was also based on the strength of both parties.

The reason the rich girl didn’t suddenly attack, apart from not wanting to risk facing some technological weaponry, was also because the Harkonnen Family had mature collection and refining technology.

If they were pushed into a corner, burning the warehouse or destroying the mining equipment would actually result in a greater loss for the Pioneers.

Moreover, the Harkonnen Family’s equipment, paired with the ninjas of the Village Hidden by Sand, was quite formidable and not something to be trifled with.

But now that Tao Yu had just returned from the Mysterious World, the situation was naturally completely different.

The current Baron Harkonnen had too high prestige, and his followers were rather zealous, so replacing them with a new one was indeed a good choice.

The most crucial point was, Tao Yu could take all their stock of Spice in one go!

And Fide was a ruthless person, even in his current crippled state, with a corrosive sensation in his wounds as though it was invading his marrow.

But he still bore the pain and began to reveal some dirty secrets,

“I know our stock of Spice, there are more than thirty tons of crude Spice and two tons of refined Spice left, which we have saved up over time, and with our current production rate, it would take at least a year…”

Fide’s words made Tao Yu’s eyes shine.

There’s so much?!

Crude Spice is equivalent to raw ore mined directly from the desert, relatively limited in value and used for refining into refined Spice.

But refined Spice is the kind that can be taken daily.

The optimal daily dosage for an individual is only fifty grams!

But those who could afford such luxury were a very few.

When he had negotiated the return of Raban and the Jonin, apart from the Holtzman Shields, it was only ten kilograms of Spice.

“This is something that can slightly increase one’s lifespan.

Not to mention the various mental enhancements, the temporary effects after consumption are quite decent.

Even if we ignore those two small-probability abilities, fifty grams of Spice for a thousand Yuan Force would definitely sell in an instant…”

Tao Yu’s eyes flickered; two tons of refined Spice equaled forty million Yuan Force!

The thirty tons of crude stock, if refined at a ten-to-one ratio, would amount to a total of over one hundred million Yuan Force!

It would just take some time to liquidate.

“Indeed, when it comes to Yuan Force, resources are still the most valuable…”

Tao Yu sighed, whether it was the Unobtainium of Avatar next door, Alien breeding, or those agriculture industries.

Maybe the unit price was average, but they could win with quantity.

And Spice was not low in price either!

Fide seemed to sense Tao Yu’s interest and, enduring the pain in his body, said,

“Apart from the official exchanges with you, we’ve also secretly cooperated with a few individuals among your Pioneers.

They use higher prices and your Pioneers’ intelligence, along with some equipment that can help us defend against you, to do some exchanges.”

Fide’s words snapped Tao Yu out of his contemplation.

Heh, it seems the rich girl and her group haven’t successfully caught the rats in the dark.

But that seemed only natural, with so many people choosing the New Development Zone every day, even if one batch is dealt with, there will inevitably be a new batch.

If it were really possible to rest easy fishing, he wouldn’t have been arranged to go to the State Capital.

“Fortunately, for now, it seems that the control over the Teleportation Device is quite secure.

The enemy forces might fear an ambush and seem not to have used the one-time Teleportation Device, at least for the moment it looks like they haven’t…”

Their secret exchanges indicated that they still couldn’t be public, which meant their power wasn’t enough!

“Then, do you know who they are?

Do you know their identities…”

Tao Yu was already preparing to perform the Dream Spirit Contact ritual.

Although Tao Yu could sense that this Fide, perhaps due to long-term consumption of Spice, had a stronger spiritual power than ordinary people.

But with a proper handling, a bit of Dream Spirit Contact to understand some surface information was quite easy…

…

“Indeed, those playing the rat are very cautious.”

Tao Yu emerged from Fide’s dream and “saw” the traders from his perspective.

They were all wrapped up tightly, and it seemed they were dealing with some Yuan Force items that even the Harkonnen Family’s detection devices couldn’t identify.

As the Harkonnen heir, Fide was also aware of some of the items exchanged.

They were all quite sinister things.

“This poison is colorless and tasteless, and this small vial alone is enough to kill your biggest sandworms, and it can even be mixed into spices; even our World Breakers, without a high poison resistance Talent, are likely to die on the spot.”

“This ‘hair-thin needle’ is specifically designed to penetrate various shield barriers; catching one unaware, it can also pose a threat to World Breakers.”

“This is a world barrier passage device; even without a Chosen One and Fortune Thief on your side, you can use it to open a temporary passage, facilitating trade and exploration…”

“…”

The items traded were all very targeted.

If the base here continued to maintain trade with the Harkonnen Family, it would be fine.

But if there were to be some conflict between the two, and the Harkonnen Family suddenly supplied these items to ninjas, it wouldn’t be surprising if a few from the Floating City died.

Ninjas themselves are skilled in assassination abilities, bolstered by skills, and with all this information leaked by the other side, if they targeted enemies, aside from the young heiresses, the rest of the Floating City offspring would struggle to resist.

And if the Floating City youth died, it would be a blow to the prestige and pressure on the young heiresses.

“Too bad, I don’t know their trading patterns.”

Tao Yu clicked his tongue.

Those guys were very cautious, really left no trace at all.

These items, though highly targeted, did not have any family characteristics; they could be purchased through channels similar to the State Capital Commerce Association with Yuan Force.

“Not bad, as the saying goes, the wise adapt themselves to circumstances.

You’ve done very well…”

Tao Yu nodded in approval.

Fide’s face also showed a look of joy; his efforts had not been in vain…

The brightness in front of him was gradually devoured by the shadows, and Fide suddenly realized that the endless Black Mud had already crawled out of the shadows onto his body, silently covering his eyes.

That disappearing light was caused by the black shadow creeping across his pupils!

What’s happening?

Why!

“I don’t like perverts.”

As Tao Yu’s voice fell, the Black Mud instantly engulfed Fide completely, then quickly retreated back into the shadows.

This sudden turn of events tightened the hearts of both Yecang and Rasa.

In our eyes, you’re a pervert too!

Rasa, whose body was also covered and sealed by the shadows, had an even more miserable expression.

Damn it, I’m going to be devoured…

Yecang, covered in blood, took two cautious steps back, holding a kunai across his chest and said,

“What do you mean by this?”

Having fully cooperated, yet still facing murder, truly capricious!

“Nothing much, just saw some disgusting images while using Dream Spirit Contact; you two surely aren’t completely unaware, right?”

Tao Yu glanced at them curiously, then continued,

“So, what kind of compensation are you prepared to offer?”

His words made the corners of Rasa’s and Yecang’s mouths twitch.

What’s this, you get our compensation and then finish us off in one go?

That guy had already surrendered and was willing to become a puppet!

But the situation was stronger than the individual; sealed by the Black Mud, unable to use the slightest bit of his Chakra, Rasa pondered for a moment before taking the initiative to ask,

“According to intelligence, you have hired ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village, so you must have some understanding of us; please, state your terms.”

“The Tailed Beasts; I’m quite interested in the Tailed Beasts.

Have you already created a Jinchuriki?”

Hearing Tao Yu’s words, Rasa felt his vision darken.

You’re really not holding back, are you!

The most valuable thing in our village right now is the Tailed Beasts!

However, he quickly realized that his ‘vision darkening’ was literal, as the Black Mud had now completely covered his eyes.

It seemed that if he gave an unsatisfactory answer, he would end up like the guy before.

No wonder he killed that one; was it to make an example?

“I, as the Kazekage, agree to your request…”

After weighing his options, Rasa chose to compromise.

What would refusal accomplish, anyway?

Just a senseless death!

Given the strength currently shown by the opponent, let alone the overall capabilities of the Pioneers, once he had set his sights on the Tailed Beasts, it would likely be difficult to resist…
