Chapter 634: Catching the Right Time, Place, and People

As a member of the same organization, he naturally knew the character of Yasuda Naeko, this perverted former colleague.

It could be said that he was a completely refined egoist, an existence that surpassed even those Demonic Humans.

So he had the confidence to persuade the other party.

Yasuda Naeko: "That's not it, I just feel the time isn't ripe yet."

Fox Gallio: "Is that so? Then the time has come now."

Yasuda Naeko: "Oh? How so?"

Seeing that Fox actually had such confidence, Yasuda Naeko also became interested.

Could he be unclear about what kind of person the other party was?

A guy who would sell out his own close friend for a mere thirty Silver Coins couldn't possibly be a good person.

Unless the profit was sufficient, otherwise he couldn't play together with this guy.

Fox Gallio: "The thing is like this. I am now an Exorcist, and also considered a captain with a bit of actual power, so I can participate in some meetings."

Yasuda Naeko: "Exorcists huh, I didn't expect you to actually choose that kind. But if I remember correctly, the captains of the Exorcists seem to manage ten thousand people."

Fox Gallio: "That's right, your intelligence is very accurate. It is ten thousand people, and combat personnel at that."

Because the growth speed of the Exorcists was simply too fast.

So in all aspects, the positions were small but the power was great.

Although it seemed like Fox managing ten thousand people was very formidable.

But just in this Tent camp alone, there were as many as several hundred like him.

So counting it up, he really couldn't be said to be a big shot.

However, it couldn't be helped that he had actual power, and it was ten thousand combat personnel.

Placed on Blue Star, that would at least be a division commander-level existence.

Fox Gallio: "Alright, this is not the main point. Listen to me finish my words."

Yasuda Naeko: "OK, you speak."

Fox Gallio: "At the meeting today, the matter of conquering the Forsaken Territory was discussed, but because that place is now the Witches' territory, an item to restrain Witches is needed."

Yasuda Naeko: "Wait, you don't mean to say that this item is the mana disruption device, right?"

A conversation almost the same as just now.

It was just that these words were now spoken by a different person, but the context was vastly different.

As soon as he saw this guy Fox mention 'an item to restrain Witches', Yasuda Naeko instantly thought of what the other party wanted to do.

But the problem was that that kind of thing was not so easy to make.

Since the other party found him, then he should be wanting that...

"It was said very clearly at the meeting. As long as I can mass-produce more mana disruption devices, then the Exorcists will directly conquer the Forsaken Territory."

"When that time comes, the Forsaken Harbor will fall under my management, and at the same time, I will become a unit commander of a hundred thousand people."

"So, as long as you steal the blueprints, I will give you half of the future profits."

Knowing what his hand of cards was, Fox directly offered his conditions.

He believed the other party would definitely agree.

After all, with such huge profits laid out there, no one could refuse.

And on Yasuda Naeko's side, after seeing the message Fox sent, his mouth twitched a few times.

Look, here it comes.

This guy was still so easy to understand. Wanting to play him in the palm of his hand was not a difficult task.

In this case, cooperating with this guy was not out of the question.

Yasuda Naeko: "One-nine, you one and me nine."

Fox Gallio: "That's too much. How am I supposed to raise an army like this? At most four-six, you four and me six."

Although he knew the other party had a big appetite, he didn't expect him to directly cut it to the bone right from the start.

Good heavens, if he really agreed, then even if he became a unit commander holding an army of a hundred thousand, he wouldn't have the money to feed these troops by then.

If he couldn't hand out money, when the backlash came, he would be the first one to die.

After all, the rule of the Exorcists was to use one's own money to raise troops.

Otherwise, with hundreds of millions of Exorcists, why do you think Fox happened to become one of the tens of thousands with actual power?

To put it bluntly, aside from indeed having strength, it was relying on having money.

Having the money to grease the wheels of connections.

After all, in such a large Exorcist circle, and expanding so fast, if you didn't bribe a bit, even with strength, you would at most be an obedient high-level soldier.

Yasuda Naeko: "Two-eight."

Fox Gallio: "Three-seven, this is the bottom line. If it doesn't work, then I can only use some extreme measures."

...

Looking at the message Fox sent, Yasuda Naeko fell quiet and didn't reply again.

For this guy to say words to this extent, it was basically a true bottom line and not a probe.

He was very clear about this.

Moreover, Fox also mentioned extreme measures, which made it clear that if he didn't accept, then Fox would have to use a knife on him.

After all, the other party's whereabouts had already been exposed.

Then at least before the matter was accomplished or before he died, he would absolutely not leave an insider like him alive.

As for what method the other party would use to deal with him, that was not something he could know.

After all, who didn't have some backup plans?

Yasuda Naeko: "Alright, but we sign a contract first. I can't trust you, and you have to provide me with a list of those informants you have on hand, so that I can unfold things on my side."

...

This time it was Fox's turn to be silent.

He knew his credibility wasn't guaranteed, but he really didn't expect the other party to speak so straightforwardly.

Oh, he was an egoist, so he could indeed do this kind of thing.

Thus, in this bizarre atmosphere, the two of them 'happily' signed this secret agreement.

As a person from the [Rose Garden], how Yasuda Naeko would go and steal it was not something Fox could control.

He only needed a result.

Although he had to give the other party seventy percent of the profits, this profit was limited only to the daily revenue of the port.

Then anything outside the port's revenue would be his own.

No one was a fool. Facing such a huge pie, how could he really give the other party seventy percent?

If nothing unexpected happened, the other party should still be feeling complacent, right?

He might even feel that he was very easy to deceive.

But it didn't matter.

This was fine! This was perfectly fine!

Letting others think he was a reckless brute—wasn't that also a kind of protective coloring for himself?

As for those informants...

They were existences that had long since stopped being used anyway, and were estimated to never be used again in the future. Giving them away was just giving them away.

It would be better to say that it didn't matter even if they died.

As long as he could get the blueprints for the mana disruption device stolen.

And on the other side.

Yasuda Naeko, who had finished chatting with Fox, put away his card and also revealed a satisfied smile.

As someone who hadn't been an honest person since childhood, he naturally could see the tricks in that contract.

But to him, this kind of thing didn't matter at all.

After all, what he wanted was not some steady stream of income like the port's revenue, but the entire treasury of the Pure Origin Sect.

To put it bluntly, there was only one ultimate goal in cooperating with Fox.

That was those informants held in the other party's hands.

As long as he had them, he could enter an uninhabited realm and go directly to the base camp of the Pure Origin Sect.

Take whatever he wanted without any hindrance or worry at all.

Moreover, the mana turbulence was about to erupt right away.

It could be said that he caught up with the right time, the right place, and the right people all at once.
