Chapter 1365

~7 min read 1,296 words

Looking at Leon, who had no self-awareness of being a "positive character" and repeatedly threatened him with Nicole, Director Aquarius, with veins popping on his face, exhaled and said with a dark face:

"Then you say it! How exactly are you prepared to trade!"

"If I were to say it..."

Leon raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and immediately suggested:

"For every question I answer, you fulfill the duties of the Watchtower Palace and report ten years of the future!"

"Impossible!"

Facing Leon's harsh, sky-high price, Director Aquarius naturally chose to lower the price without hesitation.

"One question of yours, at most exchange for one piece of news about the future!"

"Hehe."

Leon couldn't help but sneer upon hearing this, then turned and left without hesitation.

"Wait! You wait first!"

Really not daring to bet on whether he would touch Nicole, after calling Leon, who was preparing to leave, Director Aquarius had to slow down his tone and negotiate with reason and emotion:

"I want to know many things, at least dozens of questions to ask. But if it's according to your conditions, I won't be able to finish asking my questions even after you die of old age, so I cannot agree to your proposal."

"It doesn't matter. Once Nicole comes, you will agree."

"You!"

Director Aquarius looked angry upon hearing this, but then suppressed the anger in his heart and tried hard to persuade:

"If you really want to cooperate, you must propose a condition that both of us can accept, otherwise it will only end in a breakup!"

"If you dare to break up, then Nicole will have to be cut in two!"

Are you kidding me?!

Looking at Leon, who was making a chopping gesture with his hand, Director Aquarius, with a tense face, shouted ferociously:

"Don't think that just because Nicole is in your hands, I will make unconditional concessions! She is indeed very important to me, but not that important!"

"I understand. Without Nicole, you are the most important."

Are you kidding me!!!

Looking at Leon, who was pushing and pulling the doorknob but just wouldn't walk out, Director Aquarius completely lost it, his face flushed with anger:

"You go! You go!"

"Why should I go?"

Leon turned his head and sneered.

"The Aquarius Palace is my territory now. If anyone is going, you go!"

"......"

Exhale... Calm down! Must calm down! He is trying to provoke me so that I lose my judgment!

After repeatedly warning himself not to be impulsive, looking at Leon opposite, who was burning with eyes and full of energy, seemingly determined to wear him down, Director Aquarius took two heavy breaths and said decisively:

"One question per year! If you don't even accept this, then leave if you want! Pretend I didn't come today!"

"......"

Looking at him like this... it seems like it really is the bottom line?

Looking at Director Aquarius, whose image was shaking non-stop and seemed ready to disconnect at any time, Leon hesitated for a moment, then released the doorknob, turned back, and suggested:

"You say what your question is first. I'll see the situation and then decide whether to cooperate with you for a year first."

"Good..."

Looking at Leon, who finally made a concession and stopped pestering him, the phantom of Director Aquarius closed his eyes and said expressionlessly:

"I want to know what exactly you did to the Watchtower Palace? Why can't I transmit news about you?"

"These are two questions."

"Then the first one, what exactly did you do to the Watchtower Palace?"

"I relied on my own ability to shield part of the Watchtower Palace's effects."

"......" "......"

"You go!"

Facing Leon's answer, which could be called "answering like that", Director Aquarius almost exploded with anger, directly pointing at the door and shouting:

"I won't ask anymore! Do whatever you want with Nicole! I won't ask anymore! Won't ask!"

Pity, it seems it really reached the bottom.

Looking at Director Aquarius, who repeated "won't ask" three times, Leon, knowing that he was truly angry this time, successfully tested Director Aquarius's bottom line. His expression immediately softened, and he chuckled to ease the atmosphere:

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. I was just testing to see if our cooperation is reliable, not saying I was really prepared to fool you like that."

"Hehe, then what results did you test out?"

"Results, there certainly are."

Stealing a glance at Director Aquarius's face, Leon, while repeatedly pondering his current psychological state, chuckled and said:

"Aquarius... hmm... former Lord Aquarius, I just discovered a problem. Our deal seems a bit unfair to you!"

"......"

???

Unfair to me? To me?

Looking at Leon, who didn't know what kind of madness he had committed, suddenly completing the evolution from beast to upright ape, and actually speaking "human language", Director Aquarius was completely stunned.

"Really, this trading model is really unreliable for you."

After silencing Director Aquarius with one sentence, Leon, with flickering eyes, smiled and said:

"The biggest problem with this trading model is that in your hands, there is a lack of a way to effectively restrict me and avoid me telling lies."

"Just like that 'deal' just now, if you lied to me and gave me false information, then at worst I'll chop Nicole when I get back, but you don't have any means to restrict or retaliate against me."

"Having ascended to the Star Palace and unable to return, even if you are angry to death after being lied to, you can only scold me a couple of times from above. At most, you can terminate the cooperation, but you can't do anything else. This is obviously unfair."

"......"

Indeed... The only person who knows the correct 'answer' to the questions I want to ask is you. In many cases, I really have no way to judge true from false... But why would this sentence come out of your mouth?

"What exactly do you want to do!"

Staring at Leon, who was smiling very brightly in front of him, Director Aquarius couldn't help but shout with vigilance:

"I don't believe you would be so kind. Tell me what plans you have immediately!"

"Hehe, it doesn't count as a plan, just a suggestion."

After curling his lips and smiling, Leon stared into the eyes of Director Aquarius's phantom and tentatively said:

"I think we should get the 【Law Book】 first, and then use the power of the 【Law Book】 to sign a treaty to mutually restrict each other and ensure the fairness of the cooperation... What do you think of this suggestion?"

"......"

Get the 【Law Book】 and then sign a contract to ensure the fairness of the cooperation...

After hearing the suggestion given by Leon, Director Aquarius couldn't help but completely lose it.

There are a lot of people in the King-Slaughtering Society who have grudges against each other. That 【Law Book】 can be said to be the foundation of the King-Slaughtering Society's establishment! Let me get the 【Law Book】 and then sign a cooperation contract with you... How is this different from letting me help you destroy the King-Slaughtering Society?!

"I admit, this condition sounds a bit outrageous."

Looking at Director Aquarius, whose face was pulled longer than a donkey's, his eyes full of anger, and feeling like he would explode at any moment, Leon couldn't help but blink and then asked back with a smile:

"But without something of the 【Law Book】's level as a guarantee, how can you confirm that the answers I give you are all true?"

"......"

"Former Lord Aquarius, you wouldn't want to spend over a hundred years of hard work only to end up with a pile of answers that you can't confirm are true, right?"
