Chapter 764 Snake Syndicate (2)
The moment that I heard this, I slightly knitted my brows.
The black clothed figure who was sitting there in front of me didn’t say anything, but I could see by the change in the look in their eyes that they seemed proud of this.
But they seemed to have misunderstood something.
This reaction from me wasn’t because I was surprised by the fact that they came from the Snake Syndicate, it was surprise from the fact that they would suddenly admit something like this.
At the same time, I knew that I had to be in some kind of danger for them to suddenly say this.
After a long silence, the black clothed person said, “I’m sure that this comes as a shock and you must be confused why you’ve been brought here, but let me explain it for you. It’s very simple, you no longer have a path forward with the royal family turning against you, so we want to work with you.”
The way that they said this made it very clear that they wanted something from me.
But I already knew that from the moment that they went that far to break me out.
Then to my surprise, the black clothed person reached up and pulled their hood and mask off, revealing their face. This was a face that was very forgettable, a face that one might have seen many times on the street. Read Web Novels Online Free – NovelFire Novel Fire – novelfire.net
In short, this was the perfect face that one could have as someone who worked in this line of work since it was so easy to forget.
It made sense that this person was in charge of the Snake Syndicate.
As for what the Snake Syndicate was, it was one of the largest crime organizations in the kingdom.
The reason why they had never been caught before was because they operated like their namesake, a snake. They would separate themselves at multiple different levels and if they were ever caught, they would shed their skin by cutting off the ones that were caught.
So until now, they had been able to operate without anyone ever touching their foundations.
In fact, no one knew who was even at the head of the Snake Syndicate.
That was until my last trip to Vayne City.
Shadow Five had been able to discover something quite amazing by accident.
That was that the Yuletide Family were the ones that were in charge of the Snake Syndicate.
That was why I wasn’t surprised by the fact that he was the head of the Snake Syndicate, I was surprised by the fact that he would admit it that easily.
The Yuletide Family had never associated with the Snake Syndicate and had done a lot to suppress it just to seem like they weren’t associated with them. So for this person to admit that they were from the Snake Syndicate, especially when we were this close to the duke’s manor…
That was just like admitting that the Yuletide Family was connected to all of this.
The head had been waiting for me to say something, but he saw that I didn’t say a single word, so he said, “I’m sure that this is a lot for you to take in, but know that we are short on time here. There’s a lot to do and so little time, so please make a decision quickly.”
I narrowed my eyes to look at him before saying, “What are you proposing?”
The head was a bit surprised to hear this instead of an answer, but he remained calm as he said, “You don’t get to ask anything right now. There’s only two ways that this will go, you can either say yes or no.”
I didn’t say anything in response, which prompted him to push further by saying, “One way will end in your death later and one way will end in your death now. So what will you choose?”
Looking into his eyes, I said with a calm smile, “Then kill me now. Unless I know what I’m getting into, there’s no reason for me to agree. I would rather die a quick death than struggle without any hope.”
The head was completely taken aback when he heard this.
It was clear that he didn’t expect to hear this.
He looked at me for a moment as if he was trying to figure out if I was being serious or not, but then he suddenly gave a laugh before saying, “Good, good, I knew that I liked you for a reason.”
After laughing for a bit, he calmed down and said, “Fine, we can talk. I like someone that I can work with instead of an idiot who only knows how to follow orders.”
With a more serious look, he said, “What we’re trying to do is take control of the wyverns from the fourth prince. I’m sure that there’s something that you can do about it as the person that once controlled them, right?”
I narrowed my eyes before saying, “They took the stone from me, what can I do about it?”
The head revealed a smile as he said, “You don’t need to worry about that, we can get the stone back for you. The only thing you have to worry about is how to use that stone to take control of the wyverns.”
I narrowed my eyes even more as I said, “I’m sure that this won’t be all that you’re looking for. After all, giving me control of the wyverns again has no benefits for you.”
The head gave a nod as he said, “That’s right. We’ll only do this if you give us control of two thirds of the wyverns before we do anything else. If you try anything, we’ll kill you and take the stone back before you can even do anything. I’m sure that you won’t doubt that we have the capability to do that.”
“Ho, two thirds? Aren’t you generous?” I said in a teasing voice.The head didn’t react to this at all as he stood up and said, “Come with me. There’s someone I want you to meet.”
