273 Threat
“Let’s cut the crap and answer my question first.”
“Why did the Vast Fla Kingdom send you? Answer my question first.”
When Lin Fang heard Su Ming’s words, his expression changed slightly.
Looking around at his teammates who were nailed to the towering trees, so of them already unconscious, Lin Fang took in a deep breath.
“We were sent out this ti mainly to investigate the specific situation in this direction of the kingdom.”
If the situation is ideal enough, then our Kingdom will develop in this direction.
Su Ming first narrowed his eyes, then scanned Lin Fang’s body once before he said, “Developnt? How do we develop it?”
Lin Fang understood the current situation. He had no more room for Zhou Xun, so he decided not to beat around the bush.
“It’s to expand the territory of our Vast Fla Kingdom so that we can further develop our power on this continent.”
Su Ming quirked his eyebrows. This answer was not out of his expectations. In fact, it could even be said to be the most common possibility among all his guesses.
However, his own guess was one thing, and hearing the answer from Lin Fang’s mouth was another.
As he thought about it, Su Ming’s gaze stopped on Lin Fang for a mont before he said, “So you’ve been sent by the Vast Fla Kingdom to investigate the situation?”
Lin Fang hesitated for a mont, then gently nodded his head.
Su Ming suddenly chuckled softly, but the words he said after that made Lin Fang’s heart instantly turn heavy.
“Then I can’t let you go back? Otherwise, things would have gone in a direction that I’m not too happy about.”
When he heard Su Ming’s words, Lin Fang was slightly taken aback, then his expression instantly beca slightly grave.
Lin Fang stared at Su Ming for a while, but he still could not understand the aning behind his words.
Was it to threaten him, was it a joke, or did he really have such a plan?
Under the circumstances where the situation was completely under the other party’s control, Lin Fang could only plan for the worst.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Fang said, “Aren’t you going too far? If we were to be completely annihilated here, you won’t be able to bear the consequences of our Vast Fla Kingdom’s retaliation.”
When Su Ming heard Lin Fang’s words, he first chuckled softly, then he spoke.
“Oh, really? Then I’m actually very curious about sothing.”
“If I kill all of you here, how are you going to take revenge?”
“A small team mysteriously disappeared in a desolate forest. How long do you think it’ll take for the Vast Fla Kingdom’s scouting ability to lock onto us?”
Su Ming’s words caused Lin Fang’s expression to instantly beco even grimr.
He knew very well that based on what Su Ming had said, “It was practically impossible for the Vast Fla Kingdom to lock their sights on Su Ming and his group.”
One of the reasons was because of the environnt, and the other was because of Su Ming and the others’ abilities.
To be able to deal with them in such a crushing manner.
If they wanted to hide their tracks, it would be an extrely easy task for Su Ming and the others.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Fang stared at Su Ming for a long while before he suddenly said, “What do you want to do? Just say it directly, there’s no need to beat around the bush.”
Su Ming smiled and looked at him.
“In my opinion, the mission that your small team was sent out to carry out should not be as simple as you said.”
“Before I interrogate you one by one, I think it’s better for you to be straightforward and tell the truth.”
Lin Fang was taken aback, his line of sight sweeping across the mbers who were nailed to the giant trees.
He finally understood why Su Ming had not asked his team mbers who had disappeared to et up with them. It turned out that he had been waiting for them here.
This separate interrogation thod left them with no chance to cross-talk.
Lin Fang could not help but take a deep breath. When he saw the faint smile on Su Ming’s lips, he could not help but sigh.
“We were sent out this ti not only to investigate the situation here, but also for an additional mission.”
After a short pause, Lin Fang continued, “In fact, this extra mission is our main goal this ti.”
“In my team, only a few trusted aides know about this additional mission.”
Su Ming quirked his eyebrows and an interested expression appeared on his face.
He didn’t say anything, but nodded to Lin Fang, indicating for him to continue.
Lin Fang hesitated for a mont. After understanding that he no longer had any room for manipulation, he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh and said, “About 200 kiloters to the West of this forest, there is a secret realm rich in resources.”
“Our main mission this ti is to find out how many resources there are in this secret plane.”
When Su Ming heard Lin Fang’s words, he first looked at him for a mont, then asked, “Other than you guys, how many people know about this secret realm?”
When Lin Fang heard this, he was slightly taken aback. Then, he subconsciously replied, “Not much. Our mission is under the orders of Duke Lincoln.”
“And before this resource is fully investigated, I believe that Duke Lincoln will not rashly report the situation to his superiors.”
When Su Ming heard Lin Fang’s explanation, he was more or less certain.
This so-called Duke Lincoln probably had no intention of reporting this so-called secret realm of resources to his superiors.
After so thought, Su Ming said, “So you’re actually doing this quest behind your king’s back?”
Lin Fang was stunned for a mont, then his expression changed.
“What do you an by that? We just haven’t investigated the situation clearly, so we didn’t rashly report it to the higher-ups.”
Su Ming ignored his words. Once he cast him a glance, he said, “So, you don’t have any intention of continuing to expand your territory, right?”
Lin Fang first frowned, then nodded, and then shook his head.
...
“That’s not very accurate.”
“Our Kingdom has the intention to continue expanding, but not now.”
Su Ming nodded. “I understand.”
After a slight pause, Su Ming spoke again, “So now…”
