BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1256 Repaying Debt
Location- Southern Region, Blossom district, Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse No.234
"Godmother, how can you be heartless, did you forget my parents\' years of selfless service to you? Can you really bear to kill me? I am your goddaughter and can keep a secret like it is nobody\'s business. You don\'t have to resort to cruel means to help me keep the secret." Corey began to bargain for her life listening to Anna make plans to kill her to keep their secret.
Anna looked at Corey playfully planning to tease her more but I stopped her saying, "Anna, we cannot deal with her yet we need her for my plans. You can have her once I am down with her."
"Anna, we don\'t have time to waste, let us first recruit the sword slave and head to the base to carry on the mission," Ann said having sent an encrypted text to her mother reporting about the mission and asking for a few trustworthy personnel to execute it.
"Fine," Anna agreed and then I added, "I will also be joining the mission. With me present, it will not be hard to make a blueprint of the entire dungeon relocation apparatus in no time."
"Sure," Ann agreed to my proposal as we headed to my warehouse to meet Laura.
As for Corey, we agreed that she will not act out and not leave my sight until we are done with the mission. Under the guise of monitoring Corey so that she would not reveal our secret, I planned to make use of Corey when the time comes. I could be straightforward about my motives with Corey but I did not want her negotiating a price with me for her help. The stakes here are very high this time, if Corey or Park learn about that they will not ask a small price for helping me and I did not plan to share my wealth. I could reluctantly bear to share my wealth with the southern royal family.
Walking into the warehouse I saw Susan explaining the situation to Laura. And seeing us enter they paused their discussion only to hear Ann ask Laura, "So what have you decided? Do you plan to stay with the southern region or find other sponsors in the central region?"
Laura hurriedly got up and saluted Ann and Anna, then she yelled, "Your Highness, the southern region has sheltered my family when our times were tough without asking anything in return. Now that I find myself in a position where I can begin to repay our debt to the southern region, I will gladly serve the southern region with my life."
Hearing Laura, I shook my head, I guess not everyone is a selfish scum like me. I say this about Laura because every word she just shouted was genuine and directly from her heart without any falsehood. She really was willing to sacrifice herself for the southern region. It was thanks to these people the five regions could continue to exist today despite all their corruption and conspiracies.
"Good, the southern region is proud to have a daughter like you and it will not abuse your loyalty to it. I will send someone to your family to discuss the terms of the sponsorship and the terms will be no less than what you can expect from the top universities. Until then if you have something else you need help with you can tell me now," Ann was happy to see that Laura was not only full of potential but showed a substantial loyalty toward the southern region and the Heatsend Royal family. Someone like her was worth investing in. So Ann decided to offer Laura an attractive contract.
"Thank you, your highness," Laura enthusiastically thanked Ann and then added, "Your Highness, I need your help buying my fated ingredient from Master Wyatt."
Listening to Laura Ann finally understood why the boy would suddenly be thoughtful enough to help the southern royal family recruit someone with a special physique. He wanted to exploit as much profit from Laura\'s situation as possible through the southern royal family. She did not misunderstand the boy he would not make move unless he stood to gain something from it. Now that she knew what the boy was up to, turning to look at him Ann asked, "How much?"
"You tell me," saying that I shared the card\'s info with Ann and Anna\'s grimoire.
Going through the card info Ann\'s brows raised in amazement and then saying complimented the boy saying, "It seems your skills in card creation have improved considerably since the last time."
As for Anna, she went through the card info shared with her grimoire by the boy with a cold face, and acting unimpressed she coldly said, "This no big deal, I have seen cards with better status. It could have been created better."
Knowing Anna was just finding faults due to her dissatisfaction with me, I did not bother to argue with her and looked at Ann waiting for her to state a price prepared to state selling price ten times her asking price.
"How about we clear debt for this card?" Ann knew that her grandma did plan to have the boy pay the debt and just use it to threaten him to do their bidding but now that it did not work, Ann planned to clear that debt in exchange for Laura\'s fate ingredient. Yes, the debt he owed was quite large but she knew that he would state a sky-high selling price for the card plus the card\'s stats were worth it. An item card that could use any rule energy was priceless in any market.
"..." Listening to Ann offering to clear the huge debt that I owe the southern royal family in exchange for a card, I was without words because I knew how large the debt I owed was. So pivoting from my original idea I decided to agree to Ann\'s offer, "Deal."
