Chapter 859: Condition Achieves
The expression on Malekith’s face became even ugly after hearing Lin Rui’s rude words! But this man was also right, he really couldn’t put it off any longer. As Lin Rui said just now, Malekith has been waiting for this Convergence for a thousand years, and he can’t miss it.
“No! If I take out the Aether from that women’s body then you must also swear to let us go and the Aether belonged to me.” Although he was very anxious, Malekith still wanted a chance for himself and The Kursed to leave safely.
“I have made it very clear just now that the transaction content is Aether for the woman’s life. As for letting you go, even if I agree, Asgard won’t.” Hearing Malekith’s request, Lin Rui also stood by his words.
Lin Rui is not convinced that Malekith doesn’t have a way to run away from Asgard, maybe there is a hidden ship somewhere around here that can take him and The Kursed away.
And after Lin Rui rejected Malekith’s request, Thor, who was standing beside him, tried his best to keep his expression calm. Thor has tried to keep such expression since Lin Rui started talking to Malekith, even though he was surprised by what Lin Rui said. Especially when Lin Rui rejected Malekith’s request just now as Thor had almost agreed.
“Humph! You’re planning to let me save your women without letting me go!” Malekith said with a cold snort when he heard Lin Rui answer.

From Malekith’s words just now, Lin Rui has basically confirmed that he will compromise. Whether Malekith can escape the Asgard after getting the Aether depends on the game between Asgard and Malekith. Anyway, Lin Rui promised to save Jane so he is already doing the best he could at the moment.
As the negotiation has reached this level, Malekith has nothing to talk about with Lin Rui. After finishing the negotiation, Malekith took a look at The Kursed. Malekith is now making sure that if he gets the Aether, he can break through before the Asgardians attack him with their full strength.
Two seconds later, Malekith had pulled his gaze back. If Odin was really in Odin Sleep then Malekith thinks he can still have a fighting chance.
“I accept your terms and hope you will do what you say you will.” Then, Malekith looked at Lin Rui in front of him and said coldly.
“The terms of the negotiations made by Asgard will of course be followed, but I hope that you will not do anything else in the process. Otherwise, I will not let you leave Asgard alive.” Hearing Malekith’s words, Thor, who had been holding back until now, finally spoke, in a very imperious and threatening tone.
“Hmph, I am not someone who breaks their words!” Knowing what Thor meant, Malekith snorted coldly as he spoke.
“Thor, go back and bring Jane, I’ll wait for you here.” After Malekith finally agreed to this condition, Lin Rui looked at Thor and said quickly.
Malekith couldn’t wait because of the Convergence, and Lin Rui and the others couldn’t wait because of Jane’s condition. If they continue to drag the situation then it will become difficult for Jane to be rescued.
“Be careful, I don’t trust them!” Thor reminded after hearing Lin Rui’s words, then turned around and walked back.
There is no reason for Lin Rui to stay and wait for Thor, but he still chooses to believe him. As for Thor’s last sentence before turning around, it was actually for Malekith, to make him feel uncomfortable and reduce the possibility of attacking Lin Rui.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” Lin Rui said lightly as he watched Thor’s back.
Then Thor went back to pick up Jane Foster, and Lin Rui stood calmly in front of Malekith and The Kursed.
“Are you really not afraid that we will catch you and use you as a bargaining chip?” Malekith asked as he stared at Lin Rui, who seemed to have no worries.

“Actually, I was a little worried, given how powerful you and The Kursed are. Still, I’m a little hard to catch. Besides, the point of my staying is to reassure you that our deal is fair. After all, no one knows how many elite soldiers are lying in wait on the Asgard side.” Hearing Malekith’s words, Lin Rui answered calmly.
“You’re quite confident!” Malekith said with a pretense of disdain as he looked at Lin Rui’s calm look.
Now, Malekith is curious about Lin Rui’s identity, such a powerful young man can’t be someone anonymous. And he is obviously familiar with Asgard and even has some kind of influence that he could negotiate with him and make demands regarding the Aether.
Moreover, Lin Rui knew that he not only needed the Aether but also needed to finish the plan before the Convergence passed. You see, Malekith’s plans are unknown to anyone but the grand elder wizard of the Dark Elves.
“Where are you from? Judging from your previous combat performance, you can’t be from Asgard. Could it be… Are you from Alfheim?” Seeing that Lin Rui didn’t answer, Malekith continued his speculation.
After Asgard established its dominance over the Nine Realms thousands of years ago, the major kingdoms in the World Tree have been stable for a long time. Although there have been small frictions between the various kingdoms over the past thousand years, those are irrelevant.
It is precisely because of this peaceful development environment that the connection between Nine Realms is not so close and frequent. (Earth is in a state where almost no one would visit them.)
The older generation has almost all retired or died, and the outstanding characters of the new generation have not fully grown up. It is also because of Asgard’s status that Thor has a little reputation in the Nine Realms. The outstanding young people of several other kingdoms are not as dazzling as Thor.
So Malekith didn’t know where the kid in front of him came from. However, judging from Lin Rui’s previous performance, he is most likely from Alfheim.
After all, the only attack method that Malekith could not see was probably only the mysterious spell of the Alfheim sorcerors.
