Chapter 187: Gifting Women to the Tiger King?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“He hung up on you?” Te Bajing was surprised.

“Yes,” Park Gookchang nodded and said.

?

“Tell me everything you said,” Te Bajing said firmly.

Park Gookchang did not dare to hesitate and carefully repeated the words that he said.

After listening, Te Bajing couldn’t help but snort. Feeling disappointed, he chided, “How could you say that?!”

Park Gookchang was stunned. He didn’t understand. Did he say anything wrong?

Why did the Tiger King hang up on him? Why did Te Bajing reprimand him now?

He was too anxious to save face, so he asked directly, “Mr. Leader, what did I say wrongly? I’ve already shown my greatest sincerity.”

Te Bajing snorted exasperatedly, and he felt speechless and detestation at a leader like this. He was not fit to be the leader of the South Korea Alliance.

However, he still had to give Park Gookchang advice at this moment. Te Bajing suppressed his urge to call him a fool and said solemnly, “How could you let the Tiger King name the condition himself? Is that your sincerity?

“No! That’s you trying to be a smart-arse. It would be a wonder if the Tiger King did not hang up your call.”

Park Gookchang thought about it carefully and somewhat understood.

On the surface, it appeared that he was showing the greatest sincerity by allowing the other party to name any condition.

However, that was not the case. First, it felt like an endowment from a superior to a subordinate by letting the other party name any condition.

Second, with the Tiger King’s current relationship with humans, it would be inappropriate to ask the Tiger King to name the condition.

It should have been him who laid out the conditions and asked the Tiger King for help.

As he thought of this, he wanted to give himself a slap. The recent events have turned his brain muddy.

He took a deep breath and sincerely said, “I understand now, Mr. Leader. I know how wrong I was. I will change immediately and ask for help from the Tiger King with my greatest sincerity.”

It wouldn’t be appropriate for Te Bajing to continue any further. After all, the other party was a leader of a country, and more importantly, he was a leader useful to India.

The call ended, and Park Gookchang immediately discussed with the South Korean senior officials how to show their greatest sincerity.

In the Tiger King’s Cave…

After ending the call, Wang Hu snorted in disdain. “What a ridiculous person the South Korean leader is. They’re not strong, yet they want to take advantage of us.”

As he finished, he saw that Di Baijun also looked contemptuous. He began to think about the implications of the message that Park Gookchang relayed.

There was a lot of information in the message; he had not sorted them out in such a short period yet.

The troops from the Dragon Clan world invaded, the numbers were huge, and there were many powerful beings.

The humans had no other solutions and sought help from him.

However, why was it South Korea who was asking him?

Just because the first place that the marine species troops were headed to was South Korea?

If the humans truly had no other way out, the person who would make the call would have been Dong Pingtao, and not Park Gookchang.

It was probably because the human alliance had other solutions, but South Korea disagreed with the solution as it would incur heavy losses for them.

That was most probably the situation.

How strong exactly were the opponents?

Another question was the attitude of the other countries. If he helped, how much could the other countries cooperate?

Many such troublesome matters appeared in his mind.

At the same time, he also felt contempt for South Korea. They could not compare to Russia in the slightest.

Previously, when Russia sought help from him, they had discussed everything with the other countries, got everything ready, and directly quoted a price that they were willing to pay to ask him for the favor.

Now, in comparison, Park Gookchang was simply useless.

He did not explain things clearly and even asked him to name the condition.

How ridiculous.

He thought for a few minutes, and his phone rang again. It was from Dong Pingtao.

He picked up the phone, feeling contemplative.

Dong Pingtao greeted him as usual and immediately went on to talk about the matter at hand. His voice was more serious than usual, “Your Excellency, Leader Park had probably called you by now.

“I will send you the detailed information.

“At the same time, I would like to share with you the attitudes of the different countries.”

Wang Hu kept quiet and listened.

Dong Pingtao continued to say, “To be precise, this is a matter that concerns a few countries, including China, and we should be working together to fight against the marine species troops.

“However, relatively speaking, what we need more is time to grow stronger.

“So we don’t wish to fight all-out with the opponent. We would choose to use nuclear weapons to exterminate them and drag it out as long as we can.

“However, this solution would incur heavy losses for South Korea.

“They disagreed, which was to be expected, so they wanted to ask you for help.

“However, I ask for your understanding, Your Excellency. Even if you fought, the human countries would be unable to provide assistance by deploying Third Realms.

“Because our alliances are just newly formed, and we are hard-pressed for Third Realms.

“Also, the opponents are too strong. South Korea is also unable to pay the price to make us deploy Third Realms.

“Hence, I hope Your Excellency can understand.”

Upon listening, Wang Hu could feel the sincerity.

He even laid it out bare by saying that South Korea was unable to pay the price of attracting the different countries to help.

He also explained all the different situations, just to allow Wang Hu to carefully consider whether he wanted to help or not.

If he helped, the other human countries wouldn’t be helping—Dong Pingtao bypassed South Korea and frankly shared this detail with him.

Coupled with other things, it was sufficient to show China’s sincerity.

Wang Hu was silent for two seconds, and he said, “I understand now.”

After the phone call ended, Silly Girl’s contemptuous voice was heard, “They are still the same. Humans are always so divided even when something disastrous happens.”

Wang Hu looked at the detailed information that he received and explained, “Humans are divided into different countries. Though they are all called humans, when faced with a threat, they would always be concerned with their own country’s interests and would not care about the survival of another country.”

He understood why himself.

After all, he had been human for decades. He knew about the division between people from different countries very well.

Sometimes, they didn’t even see people from other countries as humans.

For example, currently, all the countries needed time to grow stronger.

However, the opponents were also very powerful. When they had the option of resolving the matter by using nuclear weapons, why should they ask the Tiger King for help?

They had to pay a hefty price and also risk the lives of their country’s powerful cultivators.

He would not agree either if it were up to him to decide.

They could resolve the problem by sacrificing a puny South Korea.

It would be an outcome that favored all the parties.

If it were him, he would choose to do that, too.

As for the thoughts of South Korea… its thoughts did not matter since it was such a weak country.

This was also the reason why it was South Korea who asked for his help.

If South Korea managed to do so successfully, the human countries would be happy upon seeing it happen… as they would not lose a thing.

If they failed, the other countries would not lose either, and they still would have a solution to solve the problem.

In any case, the other 11 alliances have given up on South Korea.

Now, it all boils down to South Korea’s own efforts.

It was very pragmatic and shrewd.

In that case, should he help?

What could South Korea offer him?

These two questions appeared on his mind as he continued to read the information.

Gradually, he became more serious. The marine species troops from the Dragon Clan were formidable.

No wonder China and the other countries wouldn’t deploy help even if he were to fight. Just the beings that China managed to catch on surveillance alone were already formidable.

It even felt unfathomable.

No wonder they were unwilling to let their few precious powerful cultivators risk their lives.

Gradually, as he thought, he began to lean towards an option.

On the other side, Di Baijun pursed her lips and remained quiet. Her look of contempt fully expressed her thoughts.

After Wang Hu was done reading, he passed the phone to Silly Girl who wanted to read as well.

Very soon, Di Baijun appeared to be more serious. She muttered to herself, “These worms…”

She paused for a moment and looked at Wang Hu, “What do you plan to do?”

“What do you think?” Wang Hu avoided the question and asked in return.

“Even the human countries don’t care; why should we?” Di Baijun said dismissively.

Wang Hu nodded with a smile, seeming to agree. He smiled and said, “Then, let’s wait and see what price South Korea is willing to pay.”

Di Baijun’s mouth moved slightly, but still, she remained quiet.

After a few minutes, Park Gookchang called again.

Wang Hu picked up the phone, and Park Gookchang’s apologetic voice sounded, “Your Excellency, I am very sorry for what happened just now. I said the wrong things, please forgive me.”

“I will give you one last chance. Speak,” Wang Hu said haughtily.

“Yes.”

Park Gookchang replied and continued to say in a sincere voice, “Your Excellency, South Korea would like to seek your help to fight back against the invasion of marine species troops until they retreat or are even annihilated.

“As long as you are willing to help, our South Korea Alliance will always treat you and the tiger species as our best friend and most important guest.

“We are willing to offer a land of 300,000 square kilometers, and 200 billion Korean won.

“We will send 30 of our best females and 1,000 people to exclusively serve you.

“We implore Your Excellency… please save our South Korea Alliance.”

Wang Hu looked at Silly Girl instinctively and saw that her brows were already drawn together tightly.

Immediately, he hung up the call and blacklisted the number.

He said disdainfully, “This is all they can offer when the situation is already so dire. As expected, South Korea is unable to offer anything good.

“Not even the other human alliances care about them, and they expect us to fight for them with just this much to offer? Ridiculous.”

Di Baijun’s frown seemed to ease up a little. She nodded and said an Internet phrase popular on the Chinese Internet, “That’s right, who cares if they died?”

At the same time, she felt a strong detestation for the South Korean government.?Hmph. Send their best females? Shameless.

Did they think I wouldn’t know what these females were meant to do?

I hate people who exchange females from their own species with other species the most.

Trash!

Wang Hu and Di Baijun cast the matter aside.

On the other hand, Park Gookchang was stunned. The Tiger King hung up the call again. Why?

Desperation rose within him.

He frantically called again, but he realized that the call was not going through.

He calmed himself down and called Te Bajing. Te Bajing listened and remained silent for a moment before finally sighing. He said, “Prepare for South Korea Alliance postwar. India will definitely help you with everything we can.”

The call ended, and Park Gookchang froze.

A real sense of desperation rose within him. He felt his head being hit by a dizzy spell, and he almost fainted.

However, he eventually did not faint—as he did not dare to.

He knew that it was over. The South Korea Alliance and South Korea were over.

The outcome was made known to all the alliances very quickly. While some of them were disappointed, they were not surprised.

None of the other alliances could be bothered already. Yet, the South Korea Alliance only had so few resources. It was only to be expected that the Tiger King did not agree to the terms.

There was no need to communicate, and all of them worked together tacitly in preparation to exterminate the marine species troops.

In a short span of a few hours, the South Korean senior officials fell into chaos because the people in the coastal areas frantically escaped to the inland areas after they issued the instructions.

The whole of South Korea was already in a state of disorder after the fight between the two dragons a few days ago and the nuclear attack that followed. Society was filled with discontentment towards their government.

Now, the situation was made worse, and it began to show signs of a complete collapse.

In the midst of the unrest, the marine species troops also arrived at an area a few hundred kilometers away from the shores of South Korea.

The originally peaceful ocean was suddenly filled with a menacing atmosphere.

The already profound ocean now appeared to become an endless black hole that threatened to swallow everything.

Through various means, the alliances looked at the intimidating marine species troops that gathered at that part of the ocean underwater.

They had already issued their orders, and the nuclear weapons were ready to be fired anytime.

They were just waiting for the troops to land on the shores.

Suddenly…

Voices of exclamation rang throughout the ranks of senior officials in different alliances.

“They stopped and are spreading apart!”

“Those golden dragons disappeared, and the beings that we suspect are Third Realms also disappeared.”

Amid the exclamations, an ominous feeling spread across the alliances.

Before they could give it a second thought…

Boom!

Lightning suddenly broke out in the clear skies. It seemed to tear apart space, and the thunder shattered the silence that weighed over the skies.

Numerous dark clouds gathered in the blink of an eye, and they grew bigger and bigger…

It grew so big that it covered as much as a few hundred kilometers around within a short time.

Series of lightning broke out one after another in the dense and ominous dark clouds. It boomed in the skies like roaring dragons were weaving in and out of the clouds.

The terrifying scenes made the expressions of the senior officials change.

Soon after, exclamations that made them panic… sounded.

“Damn it, the dark clouds and the lightning were too dense! Our surveillance can’t penetrate through the layer of clouds.”

“The missile could not lock on to the target! We can’t lock on to that part of the ocean.”

“Damn it, the signal is down.”

…

One problem after another arose, and the leaders of all countries immediately sent out orders respectively.

Eventually, the only satellite image that appeared on their screens was an aerial image of the dark clouds and lightning.

The events happening beneath the storms could only be detected through rough images that were taken from a faraway distance.

Meanwhile, the nuclear weapons could no longer lock on to that area, which meant that they could not attack their enemies in that part of the ocean accurately.

This bad news made even Dong Pingtao furrowed his brows.

Immediately after, before they could do anything to prepare…

In the boundless ocean, the sounds of dragons growling were heard.

Growl~!

One growl, two growls, ten growls… one growl was followed by another.

In the span of a breath, the voices of the dragons sounded over the entire ocean. It was as though there were as many as ten thousand dragons that growled in unison.

An imposing aura filled the ocean and the skies.

Beams of power with varying colors appeared, and all of it converged to form a gold color.

Faint projections of golden dragons dashed out from underwater one after another. They flew and hovered above the surface of the ocean and growled continuously.

In the dark clouds, the lightning that became as thick as dragons grew increasingly frightening. The growls of the dragons began to shake the earth and the skies, and the whole ocean seemed to be coming alive.

“What are they doing?” While in India, Te Bajing said, feeling uneasy.

In Russia, Bay stared intently at the screen.

In China, Dong Pingtao and the cabinet elders furrowed their brows as they looked.

Roar~!

Suddenly, a series of waves rapidly rose over the peaceful ocean.
