GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1811: Hook And Bait.



She understands that he is trying to cover all his bases. Not only does he want her to pay for him to break his alliance, he wants her to make it worth his while, and he also wants to keep a bridge afloat so that he can return to 9 Crowns after breaking the alliance.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But she finds it ridiculous. She didn't hold back from saying so either. "This is ridiculous. You are too greedy. You want to eat your cake and have it. I still have to do this for the other 3 too. This is too much."

Legion-2 asked her with a smirk, "Do you want us to betray him or do you want up to 600 gods clashing with your Pantheon?"

She considered his question seriously before asking, "What's stopping him from replacing you with other gods when you break the alliance? Won't my effort in causing you to betray him go to waste?"

Legion-2 shrugged and said, "I can't help you with that. All I can say is that he needs a year before he can replace us. I know that much. And when we asked him to make more gods join the alliance, he said he had reached his limit. If that is true, then he won't be able to replenish This allies for another year."

Crystal Hoard became enlightened. She said, "That's why you promised not to return in a year. You said it as if you were doing me a favor, but the truth is that you can't return in less than one year even if you wanted to. You are one greedy schemer, aren't you?"

Legion-2 spread his hands and said, "You got me. I am unapologetic about it. I just want to protect my interests. Can you truly blame me?"

She could blame him. She wanted to too. But she didn't want to destroy the work she had done in convincing him to betray his alliance. So she kept quiet while staring at him as if she wanted to poke holes in his body with her eyes.

He, on the other hand, didn't care that she had discovered his ruse. He asked impatiently, "Are you taking the deal or not."

She wanted to take the deal as it would cripple 9 Crowns' alliance. If she is able to do that, then she might be able to pressure him enough for him to hand over his special weapon. It can work too since she knows his territory in the mortal realm and knows his identity in the divine realm.

Unfortunately, the cost will be too high. She had to think about it seriously.

She thought to herself, "It is worth it. A weapon that can create an alliance between god kings is worth more than my golden light. If I can have both, I'll be unstoppable."

At this point, she is the one that has become too tempted by the benefits that 9 Crowns' reward has to offer. A weapon that can change shape and can be shared with others has a lot of potential in making her the greatest God king ever.

She is so tempted by it that just the thought of it is enough to make her true body in the void universe become restless. She knows that the things in this world are useless in the void universe, but as a dragon, it is her passion and hobby to collect valuable things.

Granted that she is more greedy for treasures than other dragons, but she counts that as a talent, not a flaw. She even created a Supreme Law that senses and steals treasures. So she is restless to possess both special weapons.

She thought to herself as her eyes lit up, "I knew his reward was bound to be better than mine, but I didn't expect it to be so good. I have to do everything to get it."

So she asked Legion-2 with her puppet body, "How much will it cost to break your alliance?"

Legion-1 replied with a smile, "1 million divinity."

She wasn't surprised by the amount. She said, "It is as expected. It is an amount that will discourage betrayal."

Legion-2 agreed. "It is foolproof. I surely can't afford that right now. And if I can, the divine weapon is surely to become more powerful because 9 Crowns will use what I pay to upgrade it. So he will gain something from my betrayal."

"I, on the other hand, will lose out on not only 1,000,000 divinity, but also a powerful weapon that can be used as a shield, a sword, a bow, and more. So you better have something valuable to pay me and the other 3 off."

He didn't want to reveal the fact that the weapon could be evolved, but he wanted to sink the hook into her further, so he exposed the information to her. Besides, he and the other clones have also revealed other information to her, so one more won't hurt.

That's how she found out that they had formed an alliance by using the 9 Crowns' reward as the foundation. She didn't ask them for the information. They had revealed it willingly by saying that they would never betray Legion-1 and lose access to his weapon.

Their plan seems to be working, as it has led them to this point. Crystal Hoard was silent in consideration. Despite her greedy nature, she was still considering the situation carefully. So Legion-2 pressured her, "So what is your offer?"

Crystal Hoard sighed. She felt she had a headache coming, but it was just frustration about how to deal with this.

She thought in frustration, "I have finally found another weakness of 9 Crowns, but it is too expensive. Why can't things be easy or at least cheap?"

Legion-2 is not the only one she has to pay 1,000,000 divinity for. She has to pay the severance cost of the three other Orc Bandits willing to break the alliance, so the cost is at 4,000,000. Then there's also what she will pay the four of them so that they will give up the alliance.
