842 A Hassle With A Sovereign!
Well, he got a point there. But without telling me bro, you wouldn’t get the help you wanted.
[Without knowing what you’ll gain from this, how come I’ll even consider signing that contract? After all I’m going to risk my life here]
[Humph! Find him or her first then let’s speak]
[It’s better to find another dude then]
[Don’t you dare! I’m holding your precious boy here with my spear!]
[As if I don’t have a way to free him and frame you in return!]
[I bet you won’t dare to do that!]
[Test me and you’ll deeply regret it] I snorted, [I didn’t call them yet because I want to finish this deal with you. However, if there is no way to close it, then let’s continue as enemies instead of friends]
The two of us ended up in such a stalemate. I wouldn’t budge, and he didn’t intend to. But I wasn’t going to let him get his way without knowing what he wanted my power for.
[Tsk, such a badass useless human kid who thinks himself a hegemon! Alright, I want to adopt this guy as a son to me, nourish him to grow stronger and also will let him study under my friend’s care]
[Nice try] Well, he gave such a reasonable reason that was full of bullshit! Adopting me? Trying to get me stronger? Make me study under the guidance of his friend?
If these two weren’t crazy, I might have believed part of what he said! But such a cold-hearted bastard would only care about himself and his benefits.
[I’m not lying!]
[Indeed you are!]
[I’m a sovereign! A mighty sovereign in my people! How come I lie? It’s a disgrace to even think about it!]
[Stop bluffing, I won’t buy your sh*t. Just spill out the beans or I’ll go and get my boy free with the help of others]
[You damn bastard! I said I’m not lying!]
[Ok, keep the act. I’m opening the messages with these sovereigns now. Hmm… Should I send Ludan to help first or send the three? Hmm… What do you think? Three is enough or shall they bring their friends and their armies with them?]
[Screw you son of b*tch! You aren’t a human! You are a damn dark master with a twisted heart and will rot in hell for eternity!]
[Stop fooling around and tell me everything then]
[I lost a kid once and was looking for him. He has the power of time and space ability. I believe he is the one at your place]
[Another fake story! Dammit! Are you full of sh*t like this or is this your nature?]
[Don’t say a single word or I’ll come to kill you myself!]
[As if I’ll accept this pathetic lost son story. Try another one, I need some sort of amusement while waiting for Ludan’s answer]
[You… Sent a message to him?]
Oh! It seemed that the sovereign was worried about Ludan. I guess this would end badly for you if you kept slipping off my grasp like this.
[I’m going to but have to find a source of amusement first. Come on, keep telling me such nice stories]
[F*ck you! I’m not a clown for your pleasure!]
[Indeed you are making yourself one]
[If not for you being far away from me right now… I swear I’d have crushed your throat and broke your arms and legs before even saying a single word!]
[You can’t, as I’m not next to you, hahaha!] I knew this was true. I was acting this annoying and rude, insulting him at each chance, only thanks for me being away.
But he couldn’t blame me for it, right? It was just coincidence that let the two of us apart, not able to meet.
[F*ck you! I won’t forget this grudge no matter how many years will pass! One day we will meet and then… Humph! Just thinking about all the horrible things I’m going to do to you makes my blood boil in excitement!]
[Stop daydreaming and man up, will you?]
[F*ck you son of b*tch!]
[I don’t have time for all this. Will you tell me what I want or shall I send a message to Ludan? And beware, this isn’t a joke anymore! I’m fed up dealing with such a rude sovereign like you]
[Rude… You… How dare you?!! It’s you who needs to get disciplined]
[Fine, good bye and wait for my people]
I closed the chat, did nothing for almost half an hour before reopening the chat again.
And what welcomed me was a long line of rude and angry messages which held that sovereign resentment towards me.
“He really wants a person with such ability, desperately needing me…” my eyes flashed with such evil intentions when I noticed the change in his tone and words.
In less than half an hour, he turned from cursing and insulting, shouting and threatening, to being a little mild in his words, trying to ask me to speak again with him, and even promising me a reward in return.
It seemed he didn’t waste his time and interrogated Silverlining during our chat. He started to offer a large number of soulers, including even general calibre. He even said he got necromancers, lots of them, and even a general grade ones as well in intact and full powerful state.
At the end he started to offer lots of races, including my humans. And when I didn’t answer, he turned his offer into a threat, threatening to go all out and purchase humans and kill them!
This damn jerk! He was so stressed out to find the one with the time ability for whatever he wanted.
[Just tell me why you want this dude and we can have a proper talk] After waiting for another half an hour, I finally sent this message to him.
[Dammit! Why are you fixating over this? I can offer you tons of what you want, free of charge, in return for finding and delivering whom I want over]
