Chapter 2540 Proposals from Both Sides (2)
After being offered hundreds of millions of Qilnats, many pills, potions, nts, and powerful artifacts by Minos'' group, Tiolos sent Sender back to wait nearby.
If he epted Minos'' group''s offer, he woulde looking for Sender in a day or two at the most.
Sender left, giving the level 115 specialist space to think about the proposal and, of course, to hear the counter-proposal from Minos'' enemies.
Tiolos certainly wanted the best possible deal for himself, regardless of how either side would react to his attempt to negotiate with both parties.
But confident in the proposal his group had prepared, Sender positioned himself near the specialist.
Shortly after his departure, Tiolos received the level 113 Sovereign sent by Jade Chainsaws in the same garden.
"Senior..." The man from the opposing faction looked at Tiolos cautiously, his curiosity showing on his face. "Could you tell me what that man offered you and asked for?"
"You should tell me what you want and how much you''re willing to pay. Don''t worry about your opponent." Tiolos stared at the level 113 man, wondering if he would get a higher offer than Minos.
''I am curious to hear the other side. The previous man certainly wouldn''t give me sensitive information about this Minos... But that might not be the case with this Sovereign.'' While Tiolos had a lot on his mind, the level 113 Sovereign sighed when he realized he wouldn''t get anything for the time being. He said, revealing the wealth of his faction, "I''ll bring the senior a huge amount of wealth for an assassination mission."
"Who would be my target?" Tiolos asked, though he already knew the answer.
"An Armhands internal member, Minos Stuart. He''s currently a level 105 Sovereign. But make no mistake, with his cultivation, he can steal the powers of those around him and temporarily reach the peak of level 108. From my group''s investigation, we also know he has a powerful artifact with him. This artifact,bined with his natural abilities, should make him as strong as a level 114 Sovereign."
"Oh?"
The level 115 expert understood where Minos'' wealth came from. Such a person was a monster, an individual who, if one didn''t know better, such a person would underestimate him and make Minos'' journey much easier.
Enemies were stones that could hinder a cultivator''s progress or even help them reach greater heights.
It was almost always a good thing to be underestimated. Being considered weak not only put one''s enemies in a vulnerable position, but it also gave those who were underestimated the opportunity to use the corpses of their enemies to climb higher on their cultivation journey.
After hearing the brief words of the level 113 Sovereign, Tiolos fully understood how Minos was so rich, which made him wonder for a moment if these enemies of Minos could even offer him enough resources to surpass the offer of Sender.
''From what I can gather from this man''s words, his group has already experienced enough of this Minos Stuart''s powers... That means they have lost people to Minos, or at least a lot of resources invested in dealing with him, before they approached me.''
"Impressive. A cultivator like him must be well protected by the guild, right?" Tiolos smiled, waiting for the level 113 Sovereign''s approach.
"No, Armhands don''t work that way. The guild even has its defensive instincts, and some members have many privileges because of their impressive talents and abilities. But the guild has always believed in the individual''s ability to defend and grow without the help of others. Minos does not have the protection of the guild''s Supremes, if that''s what you''re worried about."
That was the truth, though not the full implication of the guild''s methods.
While the guild wouldn''t put seniors in charge of protecting juniors just because of the potential of some of its members, it wouldn''t forgive anyone who acted against its members!
But the level 113 Sovereign wouldn''t tell Tiolos how he would be persecuted if he left any trace of his actions against Minos.
"For that, we offer you everything I brought," the Sovereign said as he let Tiolos examine the storage devices he had brought with him.
Tiolos didn''t stand on ceremony. With just a few nces, he understood what Jade Chainsaw wanted to reward him for Minos'' head.
This offer was no match for Sender''s!
''Looks like they''ve put everything they''ve got into this... The other guy''s offer is only 20% higher.'' Tiolos thought to himself.
"Go back to where you came from. On one day I''ll make my position clear. But now I have to think," he said as he motioned for the Sovereign to leave.
As soon as he heard this, the Sovereign felt as if he had been rejected, a terrible feeling for someone who had bet everything on Minos'' death.
"Senior, why? Can you tell me where I have failed? I can try to offer you better terms." He insisted on a positive answer already at this meeting.
"Better terms? If you can hone an offer, why didn''t you do it from the beginning?" Tiolos frowned and wrinkled his forehead. N?v(el)B\\jnn
"That..."
The truth was that Jade Chainsaws didn''t have a single Qilnat other than the one offered, and this Sovereign had only be a little emotional when he feared Tiolos'' refusal.
"We can make it easier for the Senior to deal with our target and erase the traces. The enemy has a lot of resources, so the Senior will also be able to take everything he has once he kills him." The Sovereign said as he managed to think of something while breaking into a cold sweat.
Tiolos'' eyes narrowed at the thought. ''Indeed, if I ept this mission, this Minos will give me a lot of resources once I have his body with me... Or not, after all, he also tried to hire me and will be careful from now on.''
"Your proposal is tempting. But I''ll think about it alone for the next few hours before I decide what to do. For now, go back to where you came from. I need to be alone." With a wave of his sleeve, Tiolos sent the level 113 Sovereign flying away.
''And now... What am I going to do?'' the level 115 man asked himself, happy with the problem in front of him, because one way or another, he was going to make a substantial amount of money in this city!
