Seer: An Ordinary Little Pirate

Chapter 285 Ransom, Conditions

Zhelis was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wanted to stand up and tear Wu Erqi to pieces, but she was tied up so tightly that she couldn't even stand up.

The more Zhelisi thought about it, the angrier he became, so he started cursing at Wu Erqi.

First, they called Wu Erqi despicable and shameless, and said that he bullied the minority with his numbers. Then they made personal attacks, and criticized Wu Erqi and his elves as shit.

Perhaps because she was resentful of Wu Erqi saying that she looked like a ghost, Zhelis specifically picked on the shortcomings of Wu Erqi and his elves' appearance, making everyone so angry that they wanted to tear her mouth apart.

Zhelis was not at a disadvantage with his ten-shot performance, and he held his head high with pride like a victorious hen.

"Ahem, Zhelis, please calm down for a while."

Polide said in a weak voice, not knowing whether he was woken up.

"Brad, I'm sorry I couldn't get you out."

Zhelis's mood instantly dropped and he apologized to Pollard.

"It's not your fault. It's my fault for not being as skilled as you, and it's also because I didn't explain it to you clearly."

Bolide felt a little regretful. Before he fainted from the urge to hold on, he should have told Zhelis not to interfere and just take him away.

But the Seven Gods of Sins are all proud, and even if Polled said this directly, Zhelis might not listen.

"Hey, Paul, you're awake. Are you hungry? Do you want me to give you something to eat?"

Wu Erqi joked.

Zhelis was so angry that he glared at her and wanted to open his mouth to say something, but a sigh from Bolide interrupted Zhelis's action.

"The fact that you were able to capture both me and Zhelis proves your strength. It also shows that the Council's actions were a complete mistake. We shouldn't have started a war with you, at least not so rashly."

Wu Erqi chuckled and said sarcastically:

"From the beginning, the Dark Council sent you, one of the Seven Sins, as a vanguard. Although three more followed, they all fought independently and were eventually defeated one by one. This battle plan was like it was written with feet. If a commander like you were in our Obi Organization, he would be cleaning toilets."

"You, the Dark Council, were too arrogant. Too arrogant to consider the Obi Organization a rival, which is why you suffered such a huge setback. But thanks to your arrogance, we won a huge victory. It was simply a victory that made me numb."

The corners of Bolide's mouth twitched slightly. Although Wu Erqi had been criticizing their master in his words, he kept saying arrogant things left and right, and it sounded like he was talking about him.

"I really don't want to say it, but... can we reconcile?"

"At this moment, Paul, are you joking?"

"..."

"Just kidding. Of course we can reconcile, but you're definitely overthinking it if you think you can just leave without paying anything. Let's see how sincere you, the Dark Council, are."

"By the way, I have to warn you that anger and evil thoughts will soon be your companions."

"...Your names are too difficult to remember. It's easier to remember the corresponding seven deadly sins."

What Wu Erqi said soon came true. Not long after, the news that the evil god Rast had been captured reached Wu Erqi's ears.

…………

Dark Council.

When the Dark Council received the news, all the senior officials came to the council chamber and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

The three giants of the Dark Council, three Speaker-level figures all showed up at this meeting, and among them there were two who did not reveal their true identities, the Lord of the Seven Sins and the former leader.

Cenarius is known as a wise man in the Hurricane Nebula. He rarely participates in council affairs and has no excessive involvement with the Seven Deadly Sins.

But the warriors under the Seven Sins, such as Thunderbeast, are all guardians of the major areas of the Hurricane Nebula!

In other words, these are the subordinates under his jurisdiction.

They were taken away to fight with the Seven Sins, but none of them came back and they all died outside the Eye of the Universe.

Now the only regional guardian under his command was Oddil of the Wind and Rain Forest, standing alone behind him.

"I'm sure everyone already knows that the four Seven Sins—Polaide, the God of Pride; Zhelis, the God of Jealousy; Angri, the God of Wrath; and Rast, the God of Evil—have all fallen into the hands of the enemy, and their fate remains unknown."

"In addition, the fate of the Swamp of Pain's guardian, Rauch, and the Sea of ​​Destruction's guardian, the Extinction Dragon, remains unknown. The Thunder Eater, the guardian of the Thunder Cliff, and the Ancient Snow Peak's guardian, Voslan, have both been confirmed dead in battle."

"This humiliating defeat has become the biggest topic of discussion among billions of beings in the Hurricane Nebula. Many elves who are dissatisfied with our rule are already preparing to make a move. I'm afraid it won't be long before the Pantheon and other factions learn of this. They will inevitably take advantage of the situation, and we must be on guard."

The Lord of the Seven Sins told everything calmly, but it was impossible for anyone present to be truly calm.

"We can't just let it go!"

Grid, the god of greed, roared.

"Yes, we can't just let it go like this!"

Someone echoed him.

A few people gradually agreed, but most remained silent.

"If we gather our true strength, it won't be difficult to win, but do we really not care about the lives of Bolide and the others?"

Sloth, the god of laziness, yawned and retorted.

"We can't just do nothing."

The god of greed, Grid, stammered twice, no longer having the arrogance he had before.

Seeing that the council seats had quieted down, the Lord of the Seven Sins made the final decision: "Boled and the others must be saved, at any cost."

The words of the Lord of the Seven Sins set the tone for the matter, indicating that they were willing to accept negotiations and try not to start a fight.

It wasn't long before the two sides got in touch, and Dean readily offered his terms.

In addition to the requirement that the Dark Council must never cross the Eye of the Universe, there are also many resource demands - this is the ransom.

In fact, the first clause has no binding force, but in negotiations, such polite words must be mentioned, mainly because of the ransom demanded.

The Dark Council was furious when they saw the list that almost took up half of the council.

Of course, they couldn't be taken advantage of, but business requires bargaining, so after calming down, they sent envoys to bargain.

Dean had no complaints about this because the list he made was meant for bargaining.

After three rounds of negotiations, Dean put forward a new condition.

"Let me meet the last Speaker of your Dark Council."

"Chief Dean, you're joking. There's no particular order among the three Speakers of our Dark Council."

"You know who I'm talking about," Dean interrupted.

The messenger smiled and nodded. He was the speaker who was said to have "returned", but only a few people in the entire Dark Council knew his identity. It was as if he had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The envoy had no good impression of the former leader. If he had not caused trouble and instigated other senior leaders of the council to avenge him, would the Dark Council have suffered this disaster?

However, the messenger could still be thankful for one thing, that is, two of the guardians of the five major areas of the Hurricane Nebula died in battle, and his promotion to the guardian of the Thunder Cliff was almost certain.

The messenger brought the news back, and everyone looked at the former leader, who was only a shadowy outline.

The former leader was silent for a long moment before he said emphatically, "Let's meet! I want to see what this shameless villain who stabbed the boss in the back and rebelled to get to the top has to say to his former boss!"

"It's best to confront them in front of the enemy. I want everyone in the Obi organization to know what kind of person their current leader is!"
