Chapter 966 Agreement and Compensation
As a man who has always been cautious, Henry doesn't want to attract the attention of Lady Pain at all, and he doesn't intend to do anything earth-shattering in Seal City.
But it backfired, and he could now clearly feel that a huge storm had begun to brew since he took over the mission with the Association, and he happened to be in the center of the whole storm.
Shemisaka noticed the gloom in Henry's eyes, raised her finger and tapped lightly on the tabletop, and was silent for a while before speaking: "Betrayal? Maybe...... However, you still don't know what the association has been planning lately, and how terrifying the so-called "weapons" are in Salin's mouth. Now the other fourteen factions in the entire Seal City have temporarily formed an alliance and are preparing to launch an attack on the city barracks. They have violated the bottom line of everyone in the city, so they are destined to be uprooted. ”
"What do you mean...... That "weapon" has the ability to destroy the entire other factions of Seal City? Henry asked in a low voice, frowning.
That's right, Saleen had a plan long ago, a place of harmony that would turn the multiverse into a place of harmony without division and war, and what underpinned the whole plan was what he called the "weapon" of ultimate harmony. Even though I haven't figured out what a "weapon" is, I've heard that it's powerful enough to raze the entire city of Seals. ”
Speaking of this, Shemisaka's expression instantly became very solemn: "I believe you should know very well that once a similar situation arises, the Lady of Pain will definitely not hesitate to wipe out the Association, and other philosophical factions may also be implicated, just like a long time ago, there was an idiot god who wanted to seize the Seal City, but was cut to pieces by the Lady." From then on, no god could come near the city. Now all the factions are starting to worry about such a situation. If there are no more factions. My business will also suffer huge losses. ”
"So you want me to abandon this mission?"
Henry finally understood the reason why the demon in front of him suddenly came to him, and at the same time, he knew that he and the guild were already on the opposite side of the entire Seal City, even the opposite of the Lady of Pain.
If it can be summed up in one sentence, it is that he is dying with the association, and he has inexplicably become an accomplice, and the situation is quite bad.
Shemisaka smiled, very happily, and then took out an envelope from inside her robe: "That's right! I know you're not one to tear up an agreement lightly. So I specially prepared a little compensation. It's got all the information you need, just nod and it'll be yours in no time, and I'll give you an extra little gift. ”
"Wouldn't it be better for me to make a lot of money, and I could have taken the benefits and left Seal City directly, ignoring the impending conflict and riot." Henry said tentatively with a playful expression.
He was not fooled by the generous conditions offered by the other party, because anyone who is not an idiot knows that it is impossible to get out of the center of the storm so easily.
There is no free lunch in the world, and how much benefit you get will inevitably have to pay a corresponding price, since the other party has come up with more favorable conditions. Then there must be more requirements, and as for giving away for nothing, don't even think about it.
"Huh. It's not as simple as you think. In Seal City, there are some bottom lines that must not be violated, otherwise you will have to pay the price for your actions. What the Guild did touched the interests of the other fourteen factions, and likewise caused a huge loss to my business, so they had to disappear, not only within the city, but completely across the entire multiverse. It would be an unprecedented purge, and the Association and its ideals would be erased, and there would be no record of harmony again. After saying that, a bloodthirsty cold light flashed in Shemisaka's eyes.
Henry, who had long been accustomed to seeing big scenes, was not frightened by the momentum created by the other party, but only sighed slightly: "Hey...... It seems that you have joined forces to make a decision, and to come to me today is to give an ultimatum. I'm curious to know, though, what are the consequences if you refuse? ”
When he said the last few words, his gaze suddenly became sharp, and the whole person exuded a chilling aura, as if the air around him was condensed under the terrifying power, and many Teflin followers couldn't bear the oppression, and their eyes rolled and fainted to the ground.
Although Henry did not make any substantial threatening movements, those terrible eyes alone had already begun to be felt by everyone present, and death was hovering around him.
Unlike Shemisaka's verbal threats, he responded directly in the most direct and tough way, without any regard for the identity of the other party's so-called gangster in Seal City, and even did not hide the contemptuous expression on his face.
In fact, the power of this high-level Ugros demon itself is insignificant at all, and it has only come to this day by relying on intelligence and secrets, perhaps the major factions rooted in Imprint City are afraid of the secrets she holds, but for Henry, who has nothing in Imprint City, it is no different from crushing the other party to death a bed bug, and it is a big deal that she will never come to Imprint City again in the future.
It is clear that Shemishaka chose the wrong target of the threat and overestimated her own status.
However, her rich communication experience made her quickly realize her mistake, and she hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply: "I'm very sorry, I apologize for the unintentional words just now, it's just a misunderstanding, just let it pass like this." Rest assured, we don't mean anything to you, we just want to help you see what you want. Sigil City is located in the center of the entire multiverse, and the only way to stay neutral is to stay neutral, not to mention that the Lady of Pain will never watch the Guild's plan succeed, why don't you consider coming to our side? ”
Seeing that the other party had already apologized, Henry instantly restrained his momentum and said with a sneer: "I understand what you said, but this is not an excuse for breaking the promise." In any case, I will complete this task, as for ...... Whether or not the people of the association can bring Atropal's limbs back to the city barracks is another matter, you say? ”
"You're saying you won't personally protect the members of God's sin?" Shemisaka's eyes lit up slightly, and there was a hint of cunning on her face.
As a gangster who wallows in lies and betrayals, she knows too well what the implication behind the words is that she is simply encouraging a halfway robbery.
"The task given to me by the Association is to deal with Atropal, and the other circumstances naturally have nothing to do with me." After saying that, Henry kept silent, and sat silently in his chair waiting for the other party's reply.
In fact, anyone who isn't an idiot understands what's going on. The so-called insistence on the mission is just an excuse, and under the siege and suppression of the other fourteen factions, it will be a ghost if the association can send things back to the headquarters.
"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule, I think I already know what to do. It's what you're looking for, and the box is a little gift. I'm leaving, I still have urgent matters to deal with. As she spoke, Shemisaka placed an envelope and a small wooden box on the table, and rushed out of the gate with her Tevlin retinue, and even those who fell unconscious were dragged away by their companions.
After seeing the other party walk away, Henry picked up the envelope, couldn't wait to open it, and read the contents carefully, and it didn't take long for two fine lights to burst out of his eyes, and at the same time muttered to himself: "That's right...... That's right...... Sure enough, as I expected, the Imaska Empire had been to Earth and had secretly left a teleportation coordinate. It may not be possible to achieve accurate teleportation with current technology, but it is still no problem to ensure that it is within the solar system......"
After seeing the leader of the largest gang in Imprint City leave, the Devil and Tieflin returned to their jobs, and Bertha walked to the table with a light step and asked softly, "What are you muttering?" What is Shemisaka's purpose in coming to you? ”
"It's nothing, it's just a transaction, and it has nothing to do with our cooperation. By the way, did I have everything you have to prepare? Henry folded the parchment in his hand, carefully slipped it into his pocket, and asked rhetorically with a smile on his face.
With the most important things of this trip in hand, his whole person was a lot more relaxed, whether it was a big move with the association, whether the other fourteen factions were going to launch a joint encirclement and suppression, or if the Lady of Pain came out to kill them, it didn't matter.
Anyway, since the birth of the city, there has never been a lack of turmoil and destruction, but in the end, it will be restored to calm under the strong suppression of the lady, and I believe that this time is no exception, I just need to do what I need to do, and then wait to watch the show.
As soon as he heard that he was not involved, the desire demon instantly lost interest, sat directly on Henry's lap, and replied with a smile: "I have already been contacted, but the other party's offer is a bit high, 150,000 gold coins or equivalent soul gems, and it must be paid within two hours, otherwise the transaction will be canceled." ”
"One hundred and fifty thousand?" Henry was slightly stunned for a moment, and then began to laugh out loud.
"Hahahaha! Interestingly, it seems that the supplier already knows what I am going to do, so he offers a price ten times higher than usual. It doesn't matter, just follow his price, it is estimated that all the suppliers in the city are offering similar prices now. The box is yours now, take it and pay the bill. ”
He knew very well that this was the power of the fourteen factions of the Seal City, and the other party did not want to see a part of Atropal brought back, so he issued a death order, and the price of all raw materials and magic items used to deal with the undead was forcibly raised by more than ten times.
Bertha stretched out her finger and gently lifted the lid of the box, and instantly saw at least hundreds of shining diamonds, and an unconcealable surprise appeared on her face: "Wow! That's a lot of money, Shemisaka gave it to you? ”
Henry nodded slightly: "That's right, this is a small gift, now take it and pay the bill, after buying things, hurry back to hell, the city of imprints is about to be in chaos." ”
After saying that, he pinched the plump and straight ass of the Lust Demon hard, walked towards the staircase without looking back, and after a while he returned to the room to fiddle with the gadgets needed to deal with Atropal.
