Chapter 638 Sinner
Date- 31 Mar 2321
Time- 14:21
Location- Sky Blossom City, D-rank Silver Beach gate dungeon
A moment that is all the demon cult care emperor needed for him to blow up this military base sky high. This is the reason why the demon cult fanatics are feared. These guys are so ruthless to themselves than how ruthless they will be to others. There was no telling.
"Well, tell me about the girl you mentioned earlier. Ask her to show herself." Anna was in no hurry to kill the demon wors.h.i.+per because she wanted to find out about the vindictive girl who willingly joined the demon cult to gain the power to get vengeance on her. Such determination was worth her concern.
"...that '' The demon wors.h.i.+per didn't answer. He looked hesitant. After all, he had nothing to gain from snitching to Anna. But if he doesn't make it here today, at least that girl, knowing her, will continue to pursue vengeance. And maybe she will be successful in getting her revenge and avenge him indirectly.
"Huh, I see. You guys are ruthless to the end. Fine. Let's sweeten the pot for you. If you give that girl up, I will let you and your people go. A good deal, right. Your lives, in exchange for one life." Anna meant what she said. She could kill these guys, but on the off chance, if the card emperor is able to blow up his field card, then the losses are not worth the risk.
The loss of the soldiers' lives is already an indispensable loss adding to the dungeon relocation apparatus and not to mention the D-rank silver beach gate dungeon undergoing the transfer. If the dungeon relocation apparatus were to be destroyed, the D-rank gate dungeon attached to the apparatus would also be demolished.
The death of soldiers is a vegetable, but they signed up for this. The destruction of the dungeon apparatus may cost the royal family a fortune, but it can be earned back. But if the D-rank silver beach dungeon were to be destroyed, then Anna would become the greatest sinner of the southern region because the silver milk power was going to pull the southern region out of the bottom and out of it besides the wealthy states like the central region.
The silver milk powder was the ticket for the southern royal family and the southern region to stand toe to toe with other big wigs. Such a G.o.d-given opportunity might never appear if lost. Anna knew that there, for she did not dare to gamble with it no matter how low the odds were. This was something she couldn't do.
Anna knew this but not the demon cult card emperor. He did not know how big of leverage he had in his hands. Therefore, she made it seem like she was being generous and willing to level with him in a mutual exchange.
"Your highness, it is not that I doubt your words, but it feels too good to be true." The demon wors.h.i.+per was not a newborn. He knew that if someone who can kill you and has all the reasons in the world to kill is not killing you, then that person wants something from you. But he did not think that the life of a single girl was worth his and his subordinate's lives. Why would she agree to an unfair deal? Unless she did not plan to honor it.
"Haha, be smart, not a wise a.s.s. If I want to, with my intent, I can flatten every being in this city I feel has a relation with the demon cult. Getting rid of the girl is not the problem, but finding the mistake that I made. The gra.s.s that I did not pull out with its roots. I want to know that root so that I will not repeat the same mistake twice. Count your lucky stars. You have something that I require to bargain for your life, or else I don't mind imprisoning each of your and your minion's souls to get the information that I want. You people are not the only ones who can use demonic cards." Anna knew it would be hard for her to convince the demon cult card emperor not to plan a suicide hastily, even if she gave him a good reason because no one in his position would.
But Anna also knew that anyone and everyone would choose life over death when given a choice. Therefore she did not worry about the demon wors.h.i.+per's choice but diverted his mind from discerning what she was trying to hide. As long as the demon cult's card emperor's mind was occupied with the thoughts about surviving and whether or not he could trust Anna, his mind would not wander trying to find the reason that made Anna so generous. Therefore, Anna did not hesitate to threaten to torture the demon wors.h.i.+per and his minion's souls for the information she required, to maintain the mental pressure on the demon wors.h.i.+per.
"Your highness, your generosity knows no bounds, but a rat will only feel safer in its hole." The demon wors.h.i.+per skillfully asked Anna to a.s.sure him that she would keep the end of her bargain. Otherwise, there is no point in talking about all this.
"A rat, huh? I have never seen such a poetic rat. Since the rat feels safe in his hole, a few of your people can leave. But don't you dare try to trick me if you help the girl slip away. Then your demon cult had a new problem to watch out for." Anna let loose her leash a little so that the demon wors.h.i.+per could start to feel that maybe, just, maybe he could make it out of here alive.
Anna was giving the demon wors.h.i.+per hope so that he did not plan on drowning while sinking the s.h.i.+p with him.
"As the world as my witness, I promise not to betray your highness's trust. The girl will stay behind and not leave with the rest of my subordinates." The demon wors.h.i.+per made a one-sided oath with the world as his witness to show Anna that he could be trusted.
