Chapter 438: An Unfair Deal?
Chapter 438: An Unfair Deal?
“So, my points stand. Let me have no reason to betray you and I won’t. I too don’t value traitors much. They are the most disgusting of all people in history after all…” Zeras said, but that didn’t D’arvey much peace of mind…
“Why are you willing to help us? Why did you suddenly decide to approach us and help us? That’s very unlike you. Actually, who are you? You’re not a human. And probably some sort of monster that I have never really heard before. But the majority of the time you are always in human form. What is your backstory? How can a genius with an 80% bloodline be in the lower realms? This place is called a wasteland for a reason. What is your origin, Zeras.” D’arvey said as Zeras sat upright.
“Now that is my other side of the deal. That is exactly the reason why I’m here. I’m here to ask you that question…” Zeras replied as the Giaran’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
“That’s stupid. We have never met with you before. How can we know what your origin is?” Sylvia asked as Zeras gave a nod.
“That’s very true. But there’s a single person that holds all of my answers. Only he knows who or what I am and what my true origin is. And that person is in your custody…”
“HAHAHAHAHA….” Suddenly D’arvey began laughing like a madman, much to the strangeness of the others present in the room but soon he got a hold of himself as he looked at Zeras with a grin.
“Now I understand why you’re willing to help us. You, Zeras, are a lost one. It’s like your memories have been watched off or something and you want to find out who you truly are. To do that, there’s only a single person in the world that can help. Maybe a person that keeps appearing in your memories.
And that person just happens to be in our custody. You have probably calculated that kidnapping that person would be an impossible task since I genuinely doubt you can take three of us on at the same time.” D’arvey said as Zeras shrugged.“Who knows?”
“Then you chanced upon the information of why we Giarans are really here and you propose to us of willing to help, all just so we would be able to give you that person. Then, you won’t have to fight with the three of us, which is a very risky move for you, and even obtain the answers that you need at the same time. Talk of hitting two birds with one stone…” D’arvey said as Zeras laughed out too like a madman.
“Is this an ability of yours? Your intelligence, you’re the smartest of all three…” Zeras said genuinely amazed by the man’s intelligence. D’arvey was very smart and he just needed a piece or two and he could easily piece everything together.
“I’ll take that as a compliment…” D’arvey said with a prideful smile as the other two Giarans snorted coldly.
“So, yes. You’re technically right. That is my other side of the deal. Give me that person in your custody who knows about my true identity and I will help you rank up your race. I learn of my origin and you get what you’re for. Talk of a Win-win huh?” Zeras said as silence enveloped the area and the three Giarans looked at each other before suddenly strange runes appeared in the eyes of the three of them as they all suddenly stood rigged to their seats. But immediately Zeras understood what was happening.
They were communicating telepathically. He didn’t make any move to disrupt that and simply sat confidently, his smile never once leaving his face.
After three minutes of silence, the runes in their eyes slowly faded away and they returned to normal. It seems to him that they were sure he wouldn’t use their moment of weakness against them and use that to kill one of them quickly.
“Your offer is a good one. But we have a feeling that what you’ll be gaining in this partnership is too much. So much it’s a bit unfair…” D’arvey said as a curious expression appeared on Zera’s face.
“And in what way would that be?”
“Firstly, you would be able to obtain the answer about your origin. Right now, you’re like a blindfolded and blind Giaran in the pitch darkness. Your existence is far from being as good as you show. We’re the one that will light up that darkness, and remove that blindfold while also curing your blindness. So, what we’re doing isn’t as small as you made it to be. You’re the one that would benefit the most in that…”
“Your race would also be able to level up and reach a rank that you have never reached before since the beginning of your history. And you will also avoid war with the humans and preserve the lives of half your entire force. That sounds to me like a fair deal…” Zeras said as D’arvey gave a nod.
“Secondly, through us, you’ll be able to vastly improve your strength. You might be an 80% bloodline purity holder. But I’m sure you know well that if you remain in this realm, that bloodline of yours will go to waste.
There will be no way to fruit on that bloodline. Going for the prodigy’s war event and winning would ensure that you’re able to increase your strength and make sure you realize the full potential of that bloodline.
Right now, you’re at the Galaxy rank. And I’m sure if you remain here, then there’s no way you will reach the True Universe origin rank. Your peak would be the Pseudo-Universe rank like us. No matter how hard you cultivate. You won’t cross that Pseudo-Universe rank, which talks less about reaching the Universe origin rank and even more talk less of reaching the Undying Origin Rank. It seems to us that you’ll be greatly benefiting from this than normal…” D’arvey said as the two other Giarans gave their nod.
