Sun Jingchi’s suggestion caused the meeting to fall into a subtle atmosphere.
There were many financial groups on the ancestral planet. In order to better maintain the rule, expand the influence of the family, and increase their power, many financial groups would cooperate and compete with each other.
The Sun family was the same. They had many partners outside.
The Qin family that Sun Jingchi spoke of was one of the Sun family’s business partners. The two families had established a deep partnership since a hundred years ago. It could be said that they were the closest business partners.
However, cooperation between financial groups was often done without benefits.
Even though the two families had worked together for a hundred years, the Sun and Qin families would still not be careless when it came to benefits.
Hence, the elders were feeling very complicated.
Not only did they want to develop and collect genetic energy to minimize their losses, but they also didn’t want the Qin family to divide the profits.
Due to this conflict, the group of people discussed for a long time without coming to a conclusion.
In the end, it was still Sun Yongheng who made the final decision. “In my opinion, let’s do as I say!”
“Jingchi is right. Rather than leaving the resources there, it’s better to quickly obtain them and strengthen our strength.”
Sun Yongheng was the previous family head of the Sun family, the uncle of the brothers. Sun Jingcheng’s position as the family head was passed down to him by Sun Yongheng.
Although Sun Yongheng had retired many years ago, his status in the family was still very high.
With this senior elder speaking, no one had any objections.
Sun Jingcheng agreed. “In that case, we’ll do as Uncle says. I’ll personally contact the Qin family tonight to discuss the collaboration with them.”
The meeting ended.
That night, Sun Jingcheng contacted the Qin family head, Qin Yujiang. He told him everything about Mount Eternal and expressed his desire to cooperate.
Qin Yujiang immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate after hearing about the use of genetic origin energy.
However, such an important matter had to be discussed in person.
Two days later, the Sun and Qin families had a meeting. Qin Yujiang brought some elders of the family and came to the Sun family under the escort of dozens of bodyguards.
The representatives from the two families sat in the venue inside Sun Family Estate. Qin Yujiang went straight to the point and said, “According to the information provided by you, our Qin family will send two Ultimate Speed Realm leaders and thirty elites of the Ultimate Vitality Realm to the caverns.”
“Other than that, the Qin family will not provide any other help. All information and related research will be handled by the Sun family. After the cooperation ends, the Qin family will receive fifty percent of the genetic origin energy and the dimensional beast corpses.”
“And the Sun family will bear all the losses of the Qin family.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Sun Jingcheng immediately revealed a difficult expression.
“Brother Qin, isn’t this too much?”
The elders of the Sun family also had ugly expressions.
Apart from their combat power, the Qin family did not provide anything else. They even wanted the Sun family to bear all the losses. However, they wanted to obtain the same benefits afterward. This was daylight robbery!
Qin Yujiang reported without any negotiation, “Brother Sun, you were the ones who initiated this collaboration. My Qin family didn’t know about this before. Now that your Sun family is in trouble, you want to look for us. Since that’s the case, I don’t need to be used by you.”
After saying that, Qin Yujiang stood up and went to his accommodation.
Before he left, he said, “Brother Sun, I’ll wait for your reply at this time tomorrow. If you agree, we’ll sign the agreement.”
After Qin Yujiang left, the Qin family’s elders also left, leaving the Sun family’s group standing there aggrieved.
The Qin family’s conditions were indeed too much.
However, Qin Yujiang was right. They were the passive party in this collaboration. Moreover, in terms of strength, the Qin Financial Group was much stronger than them. The Sun Financial Group could not afford to offend them.
After an entire afternoon of discussion, the Sun family finally agreed to the Qin family’s terms.
The most important thing was that the Qin family was unwilling to do research on the new species. Therefore, they could deliberately hide some of the research results. This way, they would be able to operate secretly.
The next day, the two families reached an agreement.
A few days later, the Sun and Qin families formed a team. The two families each sent two Ultimate Speed Realm experts to lead thirty Ultimate Vitality Realm experts to the caverns on Mount Eternal.
Before the team set off, Sun Jingcheng found another female member.
“Tong Bi, remember your mission. Your mission is to ensure Han Ning’s safety during this mission. If Han Ning dies, you don’t have to come back.”
The warrior named Tong Bi’s silver hair danced in the wind. Her gaze was cold as ice as she nodded lightly.
Sun Jingcheng didn’t say anything else. He still believed in Tong Bi’s ability.
According to the family’s idea, they would definitely encounter many new species in the caverns this time. Some species might be like the Longevity Worm, prone to corruption and dissipation after death. Therefore, they had to send researchers to conduct research on the spot.
The caverns were close to the Research Institute of Longevity, so Han Ning and Bai Yu who worked there were the best candidates.
However, Han Ning’s abilities were too important to the Sun family and he did not have much combat power. Therefore, the Sun family had specially sent Tong Bi, an expert at the Origin level, to secretly act as Han Ning’s bodyguard.
A few days later, the two teams arrived at Mount Eternal.
Inside the Research Institute of Longevity, Han Ning had been conducting gene extraction as usual. The stockpile of the Longevity Worm’s gene had reached 224 points, and the Divine Blood Ant’s gene had reached 270 points!
Previously, Han Ning had thought that many accidents might happen during this trip to the caverns. At that time, he would be able to fuse his genes and escape from the control of the Sun family.
A few days later, a new team arrived outside the research institute.
The Qin family’s team leader was named An Bixin—Ultimate Speed Realm.
Although the team leader of the Sun family, He Shengliang, was also an Ultimate Speed Dimension user, he could only be considered a deputy in this operation.
It couldn’t be helped. The Qin family was powerful. Even if the Sun family contributed a lot, they would still be suppressed by the other party.
After arriving at the Research Institute of Longevity, An Bixin did not even enter. He only asked someone to inform Han Ning.
Su Jie was very unhappy about this.
However, they had already received news from the Sun family that the Qin family was in charge of this operation. They could not offend them.
Therefore, Han Ning and Bai Yu had no choice but to follow the team.
With Wu Tian’s example, the team had made all the necessary preparations. Not only did they have more experts, they were also stronger. Their battle plan was also more detailed than before.
After arriving at the outer cave, An Bixin instructed his men to expand the tunnel connecting to the cave so that they could advance and retreat. He also left a few people outside to provide support at any time.
After that, An Bixin ordered everyone to enter the caverns.
Han Ning and Bai Yu stood in the middle of the group.. After the people in front entered the caverns, the two of them looked at each other and stepped into the entrance.
