Chapter 689 The price to exchange the Doombringer
Author: M_W Cancer
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
Everyone was immediately completely taken aback after hearing such an unexpected revelation from Leo. They all turned to look at Madam Flores with disbelief written all over their faces.
"You..." Charlotte pointed her finger towards Madam Flores in disbelief. She really thought that the latter was genuinely expressing all of those feelings to her. However, it turns out that it was actually just a lie.
"Don't accuse me like that, Guild Leader Leo. I do admit that I was saying all of those lines to persuade you, but none of those was a lie!" Madam Flores quickly defended herself.
"A lie or not is up to me to decide, but for everyone. As for me, all I know is you were saying all of those lines in order to persuade me," Leo shrugged his shoulder off and completely ignored what Madam Flores had just said. To argue with a liar will just be a waste of time since they would definitely not tell the truth.
After saying that, Leo went right back to the main topic of their conversation, "Let's cut to the chase. What do I get in return if I really give you back the Doombringer?"
Instantly, Madam Flores's expression turned serious. She didn't hesitate to put aside her current predicament and responded to Leo, "I don't know what you want, so how about you speak of your request first, and I'll see to it if we can have an agreement or change to another item?"
The Elves Secret organization could offer to exchange the Doombringer that Leo has for a lot of things, including items that they currently don't have in their inventory yet. The only question is, would Leo really be contended with just any random items? Well, he obviously won't! As such, it is much more better to let Leo decide for himself.
"Oh, then I will not hold back and tell you what I want," Leo's lips slowly formed into a satisfied smile as he continued speaking, "Considering how powerful the Doombringer is and the demand for the current situation we are in right now, I want something that is way above its price. Something that is really helpful and useful for the Mischievous Lion Guild. And something that can assist us in achieving what was once impossible for any of us, at least as of now,"
Listening to Leo's words, Madam Flores almost felt like she was dying from the suspense. In fact, her patience is running really low right now to the point that she thought of strangling Leo's neck in order to stop him from delaying any further.
Fortunately, Leo didn't prolong the suspense any longer, as he finally informed Madam Flores of what exactly he wanted in exchange for returning the Doombringer to her, "I want to buy the blueprints for both the communicator and its channel,"
This time, it was Madam Flores who was completely taken aback by Leo's request. Her eyes widened as she really didn't expect such a request from him.
Unbeknownst to Madam Flores, it has always been in Leo's mind to buy some communicators from the Elves Secret organization after knowing about its existence and let all of the Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild use them in order to improve everyone's performance.
But the only problem was, he could somewhat expect already that Madam Flores wouldn't easily sell such a convenient and useful Magic Technology to him, or even to anyone else, including the Evergreen royal family.
Truthfully speaking, suppose there wasn't a war against the Naughty Elves organization right now. In that case, Madam Flores might not even bother considering the thought of revealing the communicators to them, thus making them completely oblivious of its existence until now.
However, the situation has now completely changed. At this very moment, there is now a perfect opportunity to get the communicators from the Elves Secret organization. And not only that, there's now a chance for him to get something even more satisfactory.
With that in mind, he requested to exchange the Doombringer for the blueprints of both the communicator and its channel.
"This..." Madam Flores was unable to provide an answer right off the bat as this request of Leo requires a lot of deliberation.
"Why? Is it impossible?" Leo asked, though expecting already that Madam Flores wouldn't be able to immediately give him an answer. After all, buying communicators is already considered a big deal, let alone buying its blueprint.
"I can't decide this all by myself. So, I need some more time to think," Madam Flores requested.
"Well, I also can't decide to return the Doombringer to you all by myself as well. So, how about postponing this discussion for a later time?" Leo replied.
"Impossible! We need the Doombringer right now. Otherwise, we will stand no chance winning against the Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon!" Madam Flores exclaimed. If she really agrees to postpone obtaining the Doombringer from Leo, then there is a huge chance that they will lose this war against the Naughty Elves organization. By that time, let alone getting the Doombringer again, she might not even be alive anymore.
With a sneer, Leo said, "Madam Flores, I think you have misunderstood something here. The Mischievous Lion Guild doesn't have any least bit of responsibility to save the Emerald Tree Kingdom,"
"But... Wasn't this considered as an opportunity to take back the honor and pride that you have once lost against your war with the Black organization in the past?" Madam Flores tried to reason using the passionate words that Charlotte and the others had expressed a while ago, hoping to move Leo's emotion and make him reconsider things.
Honestly, this was the main reason why Madam Flores had said all of those lines from the start; so that she could find Leo's soft spot and use it to her advantage in their discussion. She just didn't expect Leo to not be moved by her words and would instead find out what exactly she was planning and reveal it to everyone. This henceforth causes things to develop to her disadvantage and for things to become like this.
Nevertheless, Madam Flores still expects that Leo will be moved if she brings out those soft spots. After all, that is his weakness. So as she thought.....
