# Chapter 702: Southern-Style Negotiation! Slap After Slap
The car drove all the way to Black Claw Headquarters!
Everyone's hearts were in their throats!
Jiangnan took a deep breath, pulled a peaked cap out of the Alternate Dimension, and put it on his head!
It was the Forgiveness Hat!
Then he pulled out a Passionate Little Glove, putting it on his left hand, while his right hand remained bare!
Negotiation, after all!
One had to make the necessary preparations!
The car door opened, and the group got out!
Hans stood at the building entrance with his six Diamond-grade subordinates and several hundred underlings.
A terrifying, heart-pounding aura washed over them!
Except for Hans's stance, which was a bit crappy with his horse-stance squat, everything else was fine!
Ling Feng and the others, seeing Black Claw's posturing, secretly raised their spiritual power and became alert!
But Jiangnan acted as if he hadn't seen it, a brilliant smile on his face as he walked toward Hans!
Hans saw that Dandelion had brought seven Diamonds and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He snorted coldly, "Hmph~ Brother Jiangnan, quite the airs you put on. Making me wait so long just to see you?"
With that, he extended his right hand, preparing to shake hands!
Jiangnan's smile grew even brighter as he also extended his right hand!
In his heart, he roared!
Eight Gates of the Body, Seventh Gate of Shock! Open!
Instantly, Jiangnan's physical abilities skyrocketed. He pushed off his legs, twisted his hips, and rotated his waist—a fluid, seamless motion!
His right palm, like a huge slap, viciously swung toward Hans's face.
It even produced a sonic boom, slamming heavily into Hans's cheek!
(ꐦ･᷄ᴗ･᷅)ﾉ(#)ರ3ರ) pfft~
"Slap!"
A crisp sound echoed, knocking Hans's face to the side!
Jiangnan planted his hands on his hips!
"Speak to me properly!"
One big slap sent out, and the air fell into absolute stillness!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao covered their mouths in horror!
Ling Feng and the others almost popped their eyeballs out!
Holy crap Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ!
Is this your "gentle" way of greeting?
Without even half a sentence, you go up and slap the guy?
And you used your special move to do it?
Hey hey hey! Are you really here to negotiate?
Stop pretending over there!
You just brought us here to fight!
[From Hans Black's Resentment Points +1000!]
Not only Ling Feng and the others were stunned!
Even Black Claw's underlings went crazy, red-eyed, instantly surrounding Jiangnan and his group!
Spiritual power surged on their bodies, countless guns aimed at Jiangnan's people!
"There's no one more arrogant than him! Boss! Let's just take him out!"
"Is he slapping your face, Boss? He's slapping the face of everyone in Black Claw!"
"Boss! Just say the word, and I'll go up and tear his head off!"
The underlings were all boiling with rage, wanting to tear Jiangnan apart!
Hans covered his face, two veins bulging on his forehead!
(ﾉ)ಠ益ಠꐦ)
"You hit me? You dare hit me?"
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: (｡°᷄д°᷅)"Eh~ I hit you, so what can you do about it?"
In fact, his left hand, wearing the Little Glove, was already ready to strike at any moment!
Right hand for the big slap! First, test if the Forgiveness Hat had taken effect!
If it didn't work, left hand for another big slap, then reset and try again!
Safe!
From Hans's forgiveness-effect perspective, Jiangnan looked like:
⚝(｡ớ～ờ): "I just gently touched you, why are you getting angry?"
The veins on Hans's forehead suddenly faded, and his expression turned loving!
(#)･᷄ὢ･᷅): "I'm not angry. I forgive you."
One sentence out!
The five to six hundred underlings behind Hans had their eyes wide and jaws dropped to the floor!
Σ(٥ŏ口ŏ) Huh?
In front of your own underlings, in broad daylight, he slaps you!
Openly provoking you, and you still forgive him?
"Boss! He's slapped you silly! Fight him!"
"Since when has Black Claw taken such humiliation? Kill him!"
"He's just a Gold, he slapped you! And you're a Star Glory!"
The underlings howled with rage!
Hans covered his face, his eyes gradually reddening: "Slapping my face in front of so many people, and being so arrogant?"
"Where does that leave Black Claw's face? Where does it leave my, Hans's, face?"
The underlings nodded incessantly, eyes sparkling!
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Get him!
Hans: "A Jiangnan like this? Of course, I choose to forgive him!"
Right then, three underlings rolled their eyes and fainted from anger!
Jiangnan was ecstatic inside!
The Forgiveness Hat had indeed taken effect! That made things easy. For the next hour...
Call me Jiang the Arrogant!
Ahahaha!
He raised his hand and slapped Hans again!
(ꐦԾДԾ): "Hurry up! No sense of timing! You're making me stand outside this long?"
Hans glared: (#)ಠДಠ)୨ You...
Forgiveness-effect perspective Jiangnan:
❀(｡˘•﹏•˘): "It's so cold outside, how can you bear to let me stand here freezing?"
Hans: (୧୨ಠ̫ಠ) Forgive you!
"It's cold outside. Come inside and talk with me."
Jiangnan walked into Black Claw Headquarters with his head high, chest out, swinging his arms, and taking dignified, measured steps!
Ling Feng and the others were dumbfounded!
Your walking posture is even more arrogant than your big talk! If you walked like that on the street, you'd definitely get beaten up!
Was Jiangnan too cocky, or was Hans unable to lift his knife?
Wang Ba swallowed his saliva: "Gotta say, if I were Black Claw, I'd beat Jiangnan up too!"
Gong Lin covered her face: "Sure, a real man knows when to bend and stretch, but Hans is way too bendy. I feel suffocated just watching him!"
Ling Feng muttered blankly: "Is this the Southern God negotiation method? Slap slap, then slap again? Just hit and hit?"
Yao Hong smiled bitterly: "Who knows what's going on! But back when Boss Nan Shen negotiated with the Blood Alliance, he slapped a Star Glory-level Wan Dongchen until he cried!"
Everyone shivered. That was brutal, huh!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao exchanged glances, remembering the weird thing about Jiangnan growing grass on his head earlier, and understood everything. Hans must have fallen under Xiao Nan's spell!
The group quickly followed!
Meanwhile, Black Claw's underlings were all pulling their hair out in frustration, so stifled they could barely breathe!
This wasn't a boss; this was a turtle!
A turtle crawling into a stove? Practicing the stifled, smoldering fire technique?
Wang Ba: "Achoo~" ?
...
In the meeting room!
Jiangnan plopped down in the seat that originally belonged to Hans!
He put his feet up on the table!
As if he were at home!
Hans gritted his teeth, fury surging through him, feeling like he'd explode from anger!
(#`皿´)
Jiangnan: (๐°᷄口°᷅) "What are you looking at? I like sitting here. You got a problem?"
"Deal with it! Find a seat yourself!"
Hans raised his fist, but his expression instantly softened!
"Got it!"
He went to the other side, grabbed a stool, and sat down.
Ling Feng and the others couldn't bear to watch anymore!
Is this really Black Claw's turf?
Why does Jiangnan look more like the boss here?
The underlings were about to go mad! Can you not be this cowardly, Boss?
What kind of boss is this? We're underground mobsters!
At least show a bit of arrogance, okay?
Look at that guy!
His arrogance is even more underground than us underground!
Hans took a deep breath: "Now can we talk about the Star Plan?"
"I'm very interested in that Abyss treasure you mentioned. If it really can remove the Original Sin Divine Punishment, Black Claw can make concessions!"
"But if what you're saying is fake, or just nonsense, you know the consequences!"
Jiangnan grinned: "I just want to know, how far is Black Claw willing to go?"
Hans said flatly: "Before we get to that, don't you need to show me the goods? Empty talk is useless!"
"I don't believe you can actually get something that blocks the Original Sin Divine Punishment."
Right now, Ling Feng and the others were completely confused. What Abyss treasure?
Even Yao Hong was curious, because Jiangnan had been using this to lure Hans, but had never said what it was!
Jiangnan smiled: "Of course I can."
He pulled a beautifully crafted wooden box out of the Alternate Dimension!
Everyone's eyes focused on it, full of anticipation. Hans swallowed hard, his palms sweating.
Jiangnan slowly lifted the lid!
Everyone's expression froze!
In the box lay a green helmet, exactly like a level-one helmet from that chicken-eating game!
A battered, broken one with peeling paint, even dirt residue on it, as if dug up after being buried for two hundred years!
Hans's face was extremely ugly. He stood up and slammed the table!
"You're messing with me? This thing counts as a treasure?"
"(⸝⸝･᷄ʖ̫･᷅) Forgive you!"
"Ah! It's driving me crazy! I'll kill you!"
"No, no, Jiangnan can't have any bad intentions, right?"
Right now, Hans seemed stuck in an infinite loop, his emotions violently bouncing between rage and forgiveness!
Jiangnan was stunned!
Hey, system, are you seeing this?
This guy is stuck in a bug. Is he going to break down?
Don't you do something about it?
[(乛～乛‶)]
Looks like he's really furious. Even the Forgiveness Hat effect can barely hold back Hans's rage!
I placed all my hopes on this, and you bring me a green hat?
A broken one?
I'd curse you out!
Jiangnan said calmly: "Do you know how many people our Hua Xia sacrificed for this thing?"
One sentence made Hans pause, his brows deeply furrowed!
Jiangnan continued: "You should know how powerful Dandelion's magical beans are!"
"The seeds of the magical beans were obtained from the eighth layer of the Abyss!"
Hans glared: "You still have the nerve to talk about beans? Do you know how I've spent the past three days?"
"Do you know how many doctors performing surgery on me I've knocked out with flatulence?"
[From Hans Black's Resentment Points +1000!]
(｡˘•ᴗ•˘)人
"Ah, forgive you!"
But then he was taken aback: "You mean the magical beans that can cure the poison of rage and original sin were obtained from the eighth layer?"
Jiangnan shrugged: "Of course! Where else do you think Dandelion's goods come from?"
Yao Hong: (٥≖‸≖)
Clearly, you gave them to me!
Jiangnan's expression turned serious: "Our Hua Xia exploration team was the first to discover the entrance to the eighth layer on the seventh layer. They entered and explored it, then brought back the news!"
"These magical beans and this Disaster-Removal Hat were both discovered and brought back from the eighth layer!"
"The eighth layer is extremely dangerous. Do you know how many people Hua Xia lost for this? No! You have no idea!"
Hans's eyes widened in shock. This broken hat was brought back from the eighth layer of the Abyss?
Sigh~
Behind Jiangnan, Ling Feng and the others clenched their fists and ran in frustration!
Not only did Hans not know!
We don't know either!
When did this happen? We've never heard of it!
This guy is seriously bragging again!
He's lying through his teeth!
Frantic bluffing!
