Crime Prison Island

Solomon was dressed in formal attire, appearing as he did within the Silver Tower: "Of course it doesn't count. I am here as Apostle Solomon to congratulate a friend on founding their kingdom, not as the Dragon King Card."

Hearing Solomon call him a friend, Gao Xin was a bit surprised.

"Just don't suddenly turn into Themis..." Gao Xin raised an eyebrow and arranged a seat for him.

Solomon took the initiative to come, which was just what he wanted.

Today, the Three Kingdoms and Nine Cities magnates were gathered, surrounded by strong figures. His allies were few, while his enemies were many.

The four families of Eden Heaven were all enemies, and the Golden Buddha Alliance had lost a leader at his hands.

Adding Sea King Port, they were unmistakably mortal enemies.

Out of twelve forces, six were enemies.

The remaining ones wouldn't all help him, making today's kingdom founding ceremony a good opportunity for enemies to cause trouble.

The Sea Snake surprisingly came, possibly already secretly aligning with his other enemies to act against him today.

Under such circumstances, seeing the Apostle come to observe the ceremony could directly suppress any intentions of causing trouble from the opponents.

"Welcome, all the esteemed guests to my Tai Sui kingdom founding ceremony..."

While Gao Xin spoke some polite words, he scanned the crowd.

From Tangren City came Han Ziming, and Gao Xin also saw Han Feng at a table with the lackeys in the back, winking at him.

Gao Xin smiled, seeing that besides Quinn, the Sea Snake, and Han Ziming, everyone else was at Quasi-Dragon King level!

Caesar, Bear King, Lion King, and Eagle King had all come personally, as well as Virgo, the Golden Buddha Sect Leader, Holy War Army Chief, and Cobra Oop, all also Quasi-Dragon Kings.

However, Eden Garden's Island Master, Adam, did not come personally, which surprised Gao Xin a little.

Among the formidable individuals he had offended, he had almost provoked all of Eden Heaven, and even teamed up with Caesar to pressure and trick Adam out of resources worth approximately three billion.

This provided huge support for his power's development, making Wan Kai and Tiga thriving.

Adam actually swallowed this anger? Didn't he come today to settle the score?

Gao Xin looked at Eden Garden's representative, which was Eden Garden's third-in-command, Lilith, a seductive woman dressed in a tight, white nano-suit.

The other party immediately looked over as well, giving a flirtatious wink and blowing a kiss towards him, making Gao Xin speechless.

"Tai Sui, stop wasting words."

"Establishing a nation on this barren island, what ceremony do you need? We're all crude people, let's get down to business directly."

Speaking was the Holy War Army Chief, directly interrupting Gao Xin's small talk.

Gao Xin smiled: "Oh? What business?"

The Holy War Army Chief, with his muscles knotted and sharp teeth in a massive mouth, his torso deformed with bulging muscles, was completely inhuman, all black with white patterns and a long tongue flipping around.

He buzzed: "Are you thinking of reneging? Who said you'd share your module with us today?"

Gao Xin proclaimed: "It was I who said that. What I promise, I will deliver."

"But I didn't say I would give it to every single one."

The Holy War Army Chief laughed: "I knew you'd say that, so what's the price, Tai Sui?"

Everyone looked at Gao Xin. This was the matter at hand today—the Life Transition Module.

Due to the monopoly on this module, defectors slipped into the Death Hills every day.

Many among their forces, those not in the core faction, were already restless.

There was even intelligence indicating that Tangren City had fifteen Quasi-Elephant Kings who had already injected Taixui Blood, indicating that Tai Sui had already traded with Tangren City in secret.

Time was pressing. Tangren City originally had many at Dragon Level, but if fifteen more strong Dragon Levels were added, who could handle it?

The initiative was now in Gao Xin's hands. Unless war started immediately, they could only be led by the nose by Gao Xin.

But whether to fight or not, they would listen to the conditions first.

Gao Xin smiled: "The condition is simple, exchange for Silver Tower Village!"

"What!" The crowd was in an uproar.

The territory and villages weren't important, but the Silver Tower was.

The whole island had 108 Silver Towers, around which 108 villages and towns were established.

These were sources of resources. Without Silver Towers, starvation was inevitable.

As long as a Gold Farming Team was strong enough, they wouldn't even need to kill people, just reliably farmed daily, and occasionally played high-stake games to find a goldmine.

Just collecting taxes at the base level, a village would bring in nearly a billion, not to mention other commercial revenues and one's Gold Farming Team formed by masters.

Silver Tower Villages were crucial for every faction, non-tradable, only given up in the event of war victory.

Even when Milan lost in the Third War, they didn't cede Silver Tower Village but gave up Death Hills.

Of course, such favorable ceasefire conditions were achieved when Milan reopened the Dragon King Conference and beat everyone up.

At that time, Caesar had just lost his wife and was eager to break through to Divine Level, so he agreed to Milan's ceasefire conditions, deciding by single combat, and ended up with a tragic defeat without a breakthrough.

Caesar's life was ruined by losing to Milan in this matter. Had he not agreed to Milan's duel and solely focused on war, the Milan Order would have crumbled under him.

Altogether, of the 12 Silver Tower Villages, each force had nine, maintaining this distribution because it was their foundation.

But without a doubt, Silver Tower Villages were most scarce in Tai Sui's nation; he didn't have a single one!

This wasn't merely about poverty. If war erupted, with them economically blockading, nothing would be left in his territory.

The current consumption at Death Hills was enormous. Once the supply was cut off, people would go hungry within three days.

When conflict ignites, without supplies, what could they fight with?

Solely relying on wartime economics would leave no retreat path, and they could exhaust his nation focusing on this point.

"Trading Silver Tower for a module? I might as well capture you alive and send you up to the Silver Tower!" the Holy War Army Chief couldn't help saying.

Gao Xin stared at him: "You're welcome to try."

The Holy War Army Chief exchanged glances with the Eagle King and Lion King, and the atmosphere became tense.

Quinn immediately spoke: "Sure, I agree."

Gao Xin smiled, knowing the New World's goal was global, and losing a city here or there was the least of concerns, especially as an ally.

However, Tangren City, which had secretly already benefited from Taixui Blood, remained silent at this moment.

Han Ziming furrowed his brows, as ceding a Silver Tower Village carried significant implications and hesitated.

Instead, Caesar laughed: "Sure, I can give you one. You bring three hundred brains."

He directly agreed, immediately suppressing what the Eagle King and others wanted to say.

Several Quasi-Dragon Kings looked angrily at Caesar. Caesar's one sentence had sealed the matter that Silver Tower Villages could be exchanged.

Quinn's words they could ignore, but not Caesar's.

Though three hundred brains were the price, the exact number didn't concern them much.

From their perspective, a few dozen brains sufficed, enough to adapt to the Life Transition Module.

As long as some within their ranks gained it, they too could continuously regenerate these module brains.

The focus was on what to trade for. They hoped to pressure Gao Xin for other terms.

Otherwise, no matter how many brains were traded, what difference would it make? The result was still losing one Silver Tower.

"Tai Sui, isn't your appetite too big?"

"With the twelve families here, if each trades with you, you'll expand by twelve Silver Tower Villages in one go? Directly becoming the largest force!"

The Lion King glared angrily, already showing signs of wanting to fight.

Among the twelve forces, each had only nine Silver Towers on average. Gao Xin alone having twelve, how could that be?

Gao Xin laughed, gazing at Lion King: "I am a King. Equals stand only with three, where is the talk of twelve families?"

"Pray tell, what are you?"
