"You have backbone. I admire you very much." Ye Daofu raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a sarcastic smile, but his eyes became colder, as if he was looking at a group of clowns who overestimated their own abilities.

Ye Daofu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, "What if I add another condition?"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Oh, what conditions?"

He was secretly alert. Although he felt that he had the upper hand, he had not yet fully figured out what other cards Ye Daofu had not yet played, so he did not dare to relax at all.

Ye Daofu said softly, his voice light but full of unquestionable power, "Ito is in my hands. He is your Navy's Chief of Staff. He is quite an important figure, isn't he?"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi chuckled, his face full of disapproval.

He had thought Ye Daofu would pull out some killer trick, but he hadn't expected it to be Ito. His previous nervousness instantly dissipated, and he felt that Ye Daofu's move was very childish.

"Mr. Ye, is this the reason you come to us to ask for the treasure?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi's words were full of sarcasm, and he felt that Ye Daofu's idea was really naive.

Ye Daofu looked indifferent and asked, "So, Ito is also worthless in your eyes?"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi slightly restrained his smile and said, "I admit that Ito is a talented person, and his status is also very important."

"But you have to understand. Since you know we have borrowed a lot of treasures from your country, you should know that the amount we have is very large. Do you think we will hand over all the treasures for Ito?"

Ye Daofu laughed heartily, his laughter filled with mockery and anger. "What a good word to borrow! It makes robbery sound so elegant. I've learned something from you."

Toyotomi Hideyoshi said, "This is a world where the strong are respected. You can't blame us for stealing your things. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being too weak and having too many treasures in your hands."

Ye Daofu's face turned cold: "What you said makes a lot of sense. Then I will definitely rob you today!"

"Oh, how are you going to rob? Are you going to kill us?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face darkened, and he was not afraid of Ye Daofu's threat at all.

"Don't forget that we're here to negotiate. There's a rule from ancient times to the present that envoys should not be killed when fighting. You won't break this rule, will you?"

Ye Daofu said calmly: "I won't do such a low-level thing. I heard that you have recruited 200 million soldiers from overseas. The soldiers are going back home, right?"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face changed, and he said sternly: "So what if it is, so what if it isn't?"

He already had a bad feeling in his heart, and the calmer Ye Daofu became, the more uneasy he became.

"Before we negotiate, I will send people to intercept them a day in advance."

"If nothing unexpected happens, all 200 million of you will be buried in the sea!"

Ye Daofu looked calm and composed, as if killing 200 people was just like stepping on two ants.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face turned pale and his body trembled slightly. He finally understood why Ye Daofu dared to ask for such a high price for the cultural relics.

Now those soldiers who have returned from overseas are at sea. If Ye Daofu sends the ghost fleet to encircle and suppress them, they will definitely be doomed.

If these 200 million people die at sea, the Sakura Empire will face a devastating disaster and will be unable to compete with Ye Daofu!

Then the country is not far from being destroyed!

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face was solemn, and a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart. He couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be, and the possibility of this happening was extremely high.

"Mr. Ye, this matter is of great importance. I want to report it to the King." Beads of sweat appeared on Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forehead, and his voice trembled a little. His words revealed his nervousness and fear.
