"Our Geng Family always prioritizes negotiation before resorting to force. We believe the compensation we offered is quite generous, yet I am puzzled as to why your Qing Family is unwilling to abandon this place. Once the news of our two families competing over this valley gets out, it will surely attract the attention of other families. They might think this valley holds something special, prompting us to vie for it. Should that happen, and other wealthy families get involved, it's possible neither of us would obtain this valley. I'm sure this is not a scenario any of you want to see." The thin man spun his eyes and continued.
Qing Gu's face darkened. Although the thin man's words were merely speculation, if things escalated, it was indeed likely that unforeseen changes could occur.
Upon hearing this, the burly man also showed a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
