MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Vampire God
Chapter 216: The terms of releaseWill Kingsman thought long and hard as to how to tackle this situation, and after a round of private discussions with his closest counsellors he had an answer ready for Sebastian.
" My lord but do you think the snivelling dwarf will have the courage to complete the task? " The courtier asked, as Will Kingsman stroked his chin in contemplation
" You, Crying manchild dwarf, For 10,000 gold coins, will you do one job for me? " Will said as he pointed at Sebastian
Sebastian pointed a finger at his own face and made a blank expression as he innocently asked " me? "
" Sire, this dumb 4 feet coward is not fit for this job " The courtier interjected but at this moment Sebastian said " F-for the honourable lord of the Kingsman clan I will do anything ".
Will Kingsman beamed at this line as he felt his position in life validated by this statement.
Nodding amusedly he said " Good good, brave dwarf, take this counteroffer from my side and begin roaming the streets of my country freely.
Sooner or later they will come find you and you can relay my information back to them at that moment!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe offer they made of handing over the criminals with only one tier3 enforcer present is not fair, because after we release Criminal Asiva Paratus and her accomplice Severus Saint Maximus, we will be having their representative and Asiva as opponents plus one tier 4 opponent in Severus Saint Maximus taking on just two tier 2 bratty kids of mine and a tier3 enforcer.
That won't do, we would be severely overpowered and the life of my kids will be in danger.
So you take the counteroffer that says, we send 1 tier 4 enforcer and 1 tier 3 enforcer, while the hostage side can send 1 tier 3 enforcer and one tier 2 enforcer to the exchange.
This way power on both sides will be balanced and there will be no trickery involved ".
Sebastian's pupils constricted sharply when he heard this proposal but he managed to keep a straight face.
The enemy had played a big brain move, Severus and Asiva were most likely in bad shape and by no means ready for combat, if their group accepted this proposal it would mean that there would be high chances of a confrontation breaking out that could see the party being wiped out.
" Tell them clearly that these will be the only terms under which we will negotiate a hostage transfer otherwise they can forget about it.
They can kill my children and I will mourn their deaths by destroying everything Jhonny English holds dear". Will Kingsman said as he handed Sebastian a system contract.
Sebastian accepted the contract, bowed politely and walked out of the palace with dignity as he felt that he was being trailed by 7 assassins in secret.
When Will Kingsman was sure that Sebastian was out of eavesdropping range he asked his subordinate to deliver a letter from him to Marcus Aurelius, that someone was eyeing his woman.
In the letter he made it clear that his hand was forced to make the transfer, but while he would try his best to re-capture Asiva, Marcus Aurelius was free to make his own arrangements as well.
After exiting the palace, Sebastian pretended to roam the streets aimlessly, before entering a dark alley and activating the return stone and disappearing into a spacial tear as the people trailing him were left scratching their heads as to when and where he went.

( Back at the motel )
Jhonny read the system contract carefully and then listened to Sebastian's tale as he stroked his eyebrows and hummed deeply from his throat.
" hmmmmmm, well played " Jhonny said as he looked towards Max and Anna, thinking whether or not the duo was up to the task or not.
The mission was undoubtedly dangerous if the kids accepted it, but it was also the fastest way out for the prisoners. Hence letting Max make the choice he said
" This choice is for you to make Max, If you think you can handle a tough fight, accept the system contract, it's the most hassle free way of saving your friends, you are at the absolute peak of tier 2 with strength comparable with a middle stage tier 3 warrior while Anna is tier 3, the two of you together can go save your friends.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut there will be a risk of death on the mission.
If you wanna take a safer route, I'm sure I can break in and out of the prison but it will take us at least 1-2 more weeks to figure out how to do it.
What will the choice be? "Jhonny asked Max who fell into contemplation.
There was not much choice for him here, he had to save Asiva as fast as possible, which is why he decided to accept the system contract but carefully prepared for the fight ahead.
" Sir Jhonny, Do we still have my brother's frost bombs in the guild inventory? " Max asked Jhonny whose eyes sparkled at the question.
Just like Augustus Won Knight, Shakuni was also an Explosion Artist with many unique bombs to his name.
" We have a few " Jhonny replied as Max grinned and said " Then accept the contract, I'll need to borrow 5 of them ".
Jhonny accepted the system contract and simultaneously put out a guild mission to come deliver him 5 frost bombs in Dombivli City, in the True Elites guild chat.
The time for the meet had been set in the desolate forests outside Dombivli City in 24 hours, while the bombs were expected to arrive in 16.
In these 16 hours, Max and Anna began planning extensively as to how to tackle any situation that may arise as they prepared a stock of high grade mana potions, health potions and stamina potions to help recover Asiva and Severus upon reunion.
" Just wait a few more hours Siv, we are coming to save you " Max whispered as he balled his fists with conviction, however, unknown to him a certain prince of the vampire clan was also balling his fists in anger.
