Chapter 844 Trump Card
After pondering for a moment, I asked: "Which of the three points you mentioned do you think the Heroic Guild meets now?"
"Not at all," Jin Siqi replied simply and neatly: "First of all, there are no talents with full potential in the guild. Although Harold has completed the transformation task, his qualifications are very average and it will be difficult for him to achieve great success in the future; secondly, , the liquidity of the guild is almost entirely dependent on the funding of the Rose Legion and your donation. Originally, if you were qualified to be the president of the Brave Guild, with your financial resources, you would be able to attract enough attention from the Rose Legion, but unfortunately, you I only hope that Rodney and the others will be loyal to you, but they refuse to accept the Valiant Guild. Finally, although I am now one of the managers of the Valiant Guild, it is a pity that the Rose Legion’s policy of including external guilds is that cadres of the Legion must serve as guilds. The position of president, so this last point cannot be met.”
"Oh~" I sneered: "So, there are only two choices: me as the president of the Brave Guild, or you as the president of the Brave Guild?"
"Yes."
"If I serve as the president of the Valiant Guild, after becoming an external guild of the Rose Legion, will my personal property, personal force, etc. be subject to the constraints and monitoring of the Rose Legion?"
"Well"
Jin Siqi was silent. I guess she never thought that I would ask her such a question from the beginning. Haha, she was really underestimated.
Tens of seconds later, she responded: "Yes, but that is not restraint or surveillance, it is just a kind of trust between each other."
"Trust?" I laughed again: "Let me put it bluntly, true trust is absolute belief without any suspicion. Do you think that suddenly placing a few outsiders in someone else's home would be trust?"
She was silent again.
I chuckled and said, "We are not children anymore, don't use such childish words to deceive me, just tell the truth."
After another tens of seconds, Jin Siqi said: "You are right, I was sent to monitor you, but I think you can understand, after all, the outsiders' guild is more likely to defect."
"I can understand," I said, "So, I will never take the position of president of the guild. Since you are so eager for the position of president, I will give it to you."
"I don't"
Before Jin Siqi could finish speaking, I interrupted her and said, "When you talk to me, it's best to be direct and don't beat around the bush, otherwise, I will hang up."
Jin Siqi was silent again. This was her third silence today. This time the silence lasted for a long time, a full two and a half minutes.
"I admit, I have indeed been longing for the position of leader of the Heroic Guild."
"Very good. Now that you admit it, I think we still need to continue talking." I said calmly: "Now, let me ask you another question. You said before that Rodney was wanted by Airey City. This Is this thing true or false?”
"This thing is true," Jin Siqi said, "I promise!"
"Um"
"You have to believe me, I won't joke about this kind of thing." Jin Siqi said in a serious tone: "I know you have many eyes and ears, and you have a wide network, and you will be able to get verification soon, but I still have to emphasize that this matter is absolutely I didn’t make it up out of thin air, but my men found it while cleaning up the loot after fighting a group of wandering adventurers on a mission at the border of Dashai City.”
"Okay, I will verify this matter" I said calmly: "If it is true, we will have opportunities to continue dialogue and communication in the future."
"What if it's not true?" Jin Siqi's tone was very low. Was she testing me?
"If it's not true -" I deliberately lengthened my tone and paused for a few seconds. The sound of Jin Siqi swallowing came from the microphone. I continued: "If it's not true, it doesn't matter. At most, I won't date you anymore. , or reduce the number of communications and conduct necessary verification on every word you say from now on. As for welfare, stop everything."
"Benefits?" Jin Siqi asked doubtfully.
"Well, it's the gold coins you got from me," I said calmly, "Although those gold coins are not too much for me, if I keep them for myself, I can buy snacks that I can't finish for a long time."
Having said this, I thought to myself: It’s not about me, it’s about Dewey.
"If. If I become the president of the Brave Guild, will you continue to provide financial assistance to my Brave Guild?" Jin Siqi asked carefully.
"Of course, but there's a condition."
"What conditions?" Jin Siqi asked cautiously.
"You must obey me completely. This level of obedience must be higher than your loyalty to the Legion of Roses. Can you do it?"
"How is this possible!" Jin Siqi lost her voice: "If you issued an order that is against morality?"
"That's impossible." I interrupted her: "Since you said it's impossible, forget it, I'll hang up."
"Wait" Jin Siqi's voice sounded just before I hung up the call.
"Huh? Is there anything else?" I asked.
"If, I, I can promise, how many gold coins can you support?" Jin Siqi's words were very difficult, like a broken bean.
"You promise first, and then I'll tell you."
"Tell me first!" Jin Siqi said seriously: "If I agree, there will be no conditions to continue the conversation!"
"If you don't agree, do you think there are conditions to continue the conversation?"
Jin Siqi was silent.
I continued: "Don't think about using Rodney's matter to threaten me. Your Rose Army is indeed very powerful, but that also has a prerequisite - the Dashai City part and the Moonlight City part of your Rose Army are called... As one of the five major guilds in the Zephyr Continent, you, with only half the power, are not the strongest guild. Moreover, if you decide to abandon Rodney, I can definitely find another home for him. Don’t think that Dashai City only has You, the Legion of Roses, are one of a kind."
"You said that. Are you also connected with the Iron Wolf Guild?" Jin Siqi said in disbelief.
Iron Wolf Guild?
What it is.
Actually what I want to say is the Dwarf Guild.
But since she misunderstood, let’s follow what she misunderstood.
"In short, ensuring the safety of Rodney and Eva is simply simple for me. It can be done with a wave of my hand. As for Harold and others, they are not wanted in Airy City, and their strength They are all good. If you want to protect yourself, there is no problem." I said calmly: "Every word of these words is a solid fact. You can check it. I believe that with the intelligence agency of your Rose Army, we will be able to do it very soon. You can find out, so, Miss Jin Siqi, tell me, apart from this, what trump card do you have that can threaten me?"
