Currently, Jonathan could no longer ignore Jiang Liushi. In fact, he had started observing Jiang Liushi from the moment the latter had approached him, but he was unable to detect any energy fluctuation from Jiang Liushi – it was quite strange. Jonathan focused on Jiang Liushi again, but the outcome was the same as before. Jonathan felt perplexed as he knew nothing about him. Judging from the fierce girls in Jiang Liushi’s team, Jonathan could tell that Jiang Liushi was their leader. Undoubtedly, Jiang Liushi should be stronger than any girl in his team.

“Am I eligible to discuss with you now?” asked Jiang Liushi while putting the teacup down and standing up. In his mind, if courtesy didn’t work, only then would using force be necessary. It was a pity that Jonathan didn’t understand that principle. Since the other party refused to even start a conversation, Jiang Liushi had to apply the ‘philosophy of the jungle’ to make his point.

“What do you want?” asked Jonathan coldly.

“Level-2 mutant nuclei. Rumor says that you like to use them as trophies, and even use them as military medals for meritorious service. I guess that you must have accumulated lots of level-2 mutant nuclei,” said Jiang Liushi. He was clearly aware that mutant beasts often appeared near the military area. Moreover, they had plenty of heavy weapons, so it was quite easy for them to hunt down level-2 mutant beasts.

“How many do you need? And how much are you willing to pay for them?” asked Jonathan.

“At least 20. As for the price I’m offering, it’s two evolution crystals per level-2 mutant nucleus,” answered Jiang Liushi.

It was common knowledge, at least for now, that all evolution crystals were produced by level-1 mutant nuclei. With the military area’s technology, two or three mutant nuclei could produce an evolution crystal. However, Jiang Liushi only needed a single level-1 nucleus to produce an evolutionary crystal in his laboratory. In other words, Jiang Liushi was making a killing with the mutant nucleus : evolutionary crystal ratio.

“You want to exchange two evolution crystals for my mutant nuclei? Ridiculous!” Jonathan laughed. Even if their crystal production technology was inferior, the price Jiang Liushi offered was too low for Jonathan to accept. As an American soldier, Jonathan attached great importance to his honor. How could he exchange his trophies for such a low price?

“That’s not a fair transaction but plain robbery. You’re Chinese, right? Is this the etiquette and morality that you Chinese people are s proud of?” said Jonathan sarcastically.

Jiang Liushi replied calmly, “If you had accepted to discuss with me earlier, the price would be negotiable. But since you chose that route, then it’s only normal for everything to be decided through battle. The transaction price after the battle is naturally determined by the battle’s outcome!”

“When China was still in the Qing Dynasty, it had rejected the trade request of the Western world and closed the country’s gates. As a result, the Western world used guns and pried them open. The outcome of the war was China’s defeat, so the original terms of equal trading ceased to exist. Indemnity, financial losses, and cost reduction were the inevitable aftermath.

“The Middle East countries did not accept the UN resolution, rejecting the establishment of a Jewish country. After that, they waged war and invaded Israel. However, they were defeated several times, and thus, Israel got the opportunity to integrate new areas to its territory. America was pretty involved, so you must know the story better than me. Do you disagree with any of this?” stated Jiang Liushi calmly.

Before the end of the world, such occurrences were common, not to mention now. Laws and rules had long lost their functionality. Had Jonathan prevailed in today’s battle, he would also have similar demands. In Jiang Liushi’s mind, such apparent matters needn’t be mentioned at all.

“Heh, do you think you’ve conquered the world or something?” Jonathan was gloomy. Although he could summon the soldiers outside, his prestige would plummet even lower. Moreover, the soldiers could not change the situation when facing such a powerful team. At the same time, Jonathan couldn’t allow Jiang Liushi to further smack his face.

Jonathan’s momentum surged, and he started exuding a majestic yet chilling aura. His clothes moved maniacally in the windless environment, while everything around him was distorted. That was Jonathan’s force field. As long as someone entered his force field, they were unable to withstand it. Whether it was used for offense or defense, Jonathan’s force field was tyrannical. He relied on it to climb to his current position and even higher – the highest authority in this military base.

Meanwhile, Jonathan’s force field was not only tyrannical, but it also gave off a foreboding feeling. Evidently, it wasn’t so simple. Few people had witnessed Jonathan’s abilities and battle prowess. Unexpectedly, he had to show his might before Jiang Liushi. At this very moment, he was like a beast in human form that could launch a deadly attack at any time.

Seeing him like this, many girls screamed and cheered, especially when Jonathan pointed at Jiang Liushi. “If you think that, then you’re delusional! I dare you to fight me!” he shouted.

The crowd’s encore reached the apex; they could hardly contain themselves. Even Jiang Liushi had to admit that Jonathan’s acting skills were top-notch. Not only had hr revealed his strength, but he had also affected the crowd’s mood. It was not an exaggeration to say he was a natural born politician.

Jiang Liushi was not in a mood to chit-chat. He simply infused the teacup with blue energy and suddenly flung it at Jonathan. In an instant, the astonishingly fast teacup slammed Jonathan’s force field. Although the force field could stop bullets, the moment it came in contact with the teacup, Jonathan felt as if a truck had crashed on it. Jonathan’s body trembled violently, while his force field shattered!

Jiang Liushi’s teacup struck Jonathan’s face with unstoppable force. The ‘almighty’ fellow let out a wretched scream while a stream of blood shot out of his nose. Was he not a paranormal, Jonathan would have died.

Why do all Chinese like throwing things!?

Jonathan clearly felt Jiang Liushi’s faint killing intent when he flung the teacup. It was obvious that if Jiang Liushi really wanted to reap his life, Jonathan would have no way to stop him from doing so.

Everyone was stunned, and the atmosphere fell into dead silence. Jonathan’s current appearance was no better than Yamada’s. Jonathan’s pride was instantly squashed by a teacup.

At this time, Jiang Liushi asked, “Are you convinced now?”
