The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 526: An Ambitious Woman

"Actually, I'm not representing any noble family... Uh, I'm representing a secluded organization." Eduard said, after thinking about this subject.

He had thought it would be better if he hid that he was originally a subordinate of the Nash family.

He was not ashamed of it. On the contrary, he was even very proud of having been nurtured by such an organization. But as he hadn't had his status boost in that family, he didn't know if this woman had any grudges with House Nash...

In this case, he'd better not involve such an organization.

On the other hand, this information could hinder his negotiation with Regina since there were poison masters like this woman in that state. That way, so as not to make her suspicious, he told her the truth about Black Plain.

After all, the Black Plain Army was indeed a hidden force...

"Oh?" Hearing this statement, Regina made a sound of surprise. She had not expected to come into contact so casually with a secret organization of this region!

That's because such forces were highly mysterious!

Still, like this woman in front of Eduard, all the great regional experts, the old cultivators at the end of the 6th stage, knew a thing or two about such organizations.

These powers would rarely show themselves in public, and it was not uncommon for even their members to disappear from the outside world for hundreds of years!

However, even without much contact or in-depth information, specific knowledge was commonly passed on among high-level regional powers. Which was not to freely offend the members of those powers...

Few people knew how strong they indeed were. Yet, in general, experts like Regina were sure that the strength of these powers was no less than that of the large regional organizations.

Hence, this woman was even more interested in this business with Eduard than before.

"Can you tell me a little more about this? I know some of these organizations that live in the mountains of the Endless Snow Mountain Range."

Eduard then shook his head in denial. "No, our organization is quite special... You definitely wouldn't know it."

"Perhaps you have been for over a thousand years without showing yourself in public?" She asked this with a curious expression on her face.

It made sense for her to ask such a question. After all, a thousand years ago, she was just a young woman at the beginning of her cultivation journey, a person ignorant of the existence of these occult powers in the northern part of the Central Continent.

"You could say so…" He said vaguely.

'Interesting!' She then looked into Eduard's eyes and smiled. "Well then, let's talk about values. Are you aware of how much my services cost? I charge a thousand medium-grade crystals per week of treatment."

"Yes, I am aware."

"On the other hand, you need to bring this person to me. Otherwise, we won't be able to do this deal."

Eduard then smiled as he shook his head. "It will not work. As I said before, this person who needs your services is seriously injured. She will not leave our territory in such a situation."

"Then I'm sorry to say that I will have to refuse." She said coolly, not caring about the other side.

"Ms. Garza, why don't you give your price for doing this? We are willing to pay for your trip to our territory."

"No, there is no value that can make me leave my territory..."

"Hehe, everything in this world has a price, Ms. Garza." He confidently said as he thought about what to say next. "But let me tell you a little more of the truth. My boss chose you for this job because he has a bigger offer for you."

"But I'm afraid he can't come here to negotiate directly with you as he has bigger matters to deal with... So, consequently, you have to deal with someone humble like this one."

"However, I can guarantee that your number one wish will be fulfilled if you accompany me into the territory of this organization I represent."

"Hehe, my wish? And what would that wish be, young man?" She asked this with a smile on her face. She couldn't help but laugh at this young Spiritual King in front of her, who presumptuously thought he could say such things.

'I don't need spiritual crystals anymore if that's what you're suggesting...' She thought to herself as she looked at Eduard's red face.

"What we offer is the possibility for you to live longer!"

"What do you mean?" She made a serious expression and asked this.

"You know what I'm talking about..."

"There are no fools here, Ms. Garza. You just need to come with me and hear the offer my boss has for you. And even if you refuse, just the fact that you're coming with me will be a breakthrough for you…" He said mysteriously.

Eduard wasn't afraid to expose to this woman that the force behind him could nurture someone up to level 60. That's because, despite the fear he had of being accidentally poisoned, he wasn't afraid of the power of the people who were on that property.

The strongest person there besides Regina was only a level 54 Spiritual King. And even if this Lieutenant couldn't defeat such an opponent, if she were a warrior, of course, he still was sure he could escape with life from that place.

He was much faster and stronger than Regina, so if he took her hostage, the other part would have to listen to his demands and turn off the defensive array of this place. After that, he could quickly get away from there.

So, as long as he was careful not to accidentally touch the poisons spread around this place, dealing with these people wouldn't be impossible for him.

Contrary to what someone might think, the poisons present in the workplace of poison masters of the Spiritual World were not suitable for treating patients, etc. But, the opposite of that, such a thing served to train these professionals, who would need to daily ingest some poisons, to 'nourish' their poisonous techniques.

And these poisons were highly lethal to ordinary people, even specialists at Eduard's level. After all, the cells in his body had no resistance to this type of substance, as in the case of those in that woman's body.

On the other hand, even if such a woman had powerful poisonous techniques, they weren't offensive. That is, as much as they could kill if overused, it would be tough for someone like Regina to use them in battle.

After all, Regina didn't have movement or defense techniques, whereas her opponent did. Hence, even if her poison techniques were deadly, she would hardly be able to hit someone of Eduard's level.

Therefore, this man was only concerned with the poisons in the vicinity of that house. And that naturally gave him the confidence to say such tempting things.

"Are you saying..." She briefly paused as she looked at Eduard and felt her heart rate speed up. "That your organization is willing to help me reach level 60? Are you capable of that?"

"Hmm, we are!" He said without hesitation.

Upon hearing such confirmation, Regina's eyes twitched vigorously. At the same time, her muscles quickly tensed as she pressed her hands into the arms of the chair she was sitting on.

'If that's true, then I can use this person and the organization behind him…' She thought about it, already planning every step she would need to take from now on.

She couldn't be sure if Eduard was telling the truth, but she felt that this subject was much more profound than it seemed. Otherwise, this young Spiritual King wouldn't risk so much to say such a thing while he was surrounded in a confined place, from which he couldn't escape.

Hell, if she wanted to, Regina could just immobilize this person and interrogate him using her powerful poisons... She was definitely capable of extracting the truth from anyone!

But since Eduard had entered her office, he only seemed concerned with the poisons that were here and there in that place. And as someone so experienced, she had learned not to act so hastily under the circumstances like this.

In the past, she would definitely do things like act first and ask questions later. After all, she was an ambitious woman who wanted to level up quickly. But now, she had left her haste aside after many mistakes that had taken so much away from her...

Because of this, now she was able to have much greater control over her own greed!

'Indeed, very interesting...' She bit her lower lip as she pondered this matter. "Then let's do this..."
