Chapter 761: An Old Friend (2/2)
”This rice wine is extremely good. Faction 2 did one thing right by holding down the liquor business. Our faction is really not suitable for this.”
”If you are here for the wine, you shouldn't have called for me. I am a busy person. I don't have a rich and powerful father holding my ass up to make me sit in a position. I have to earn it by myself.”
The Elf didn't seem to be offended by hostile words and the tone of resentment and instead widened the smile.
”What do you mean by that? You don't have time for an old friend?”
”Old Friend? I am pretty sure that friendship died when someone tried to kill me in the roads of the Charbhum Capital city.”
”Well, you can't blame that someone when you hooked up with his sister, Can you?”
”But you should know that certain someone didn't become my friend before I loved his sister, he became my friend after my love with her and he came to me after learning about that.
And he did so for the sole reason to drag me to the roads and kill me which was unsuccessful because he didn't expect such resistance from someone who he looked down on so much.”
”Well, I didn't know that you know about that. My sister is still such a snitch.”
”I would be careful, if were you. This not your father's backyard. Things are not looking good for faction 1 here. In fact, there are extremely bad.”
”You seemed to have forgotten, this place is still under faction 1's control, so this is as good as my father's backyard.”
”Just cut the crap and tell me what you are here for. I wasted enough time on you.”
”Well, do you want to marry my sister?”
”Isn't that a given? Where are you going with this?”
”Well, my father is so adamant about not letting you marry and he is trying to get by your contract so much that it is almost impossible for him to not succeed.”
Raunak clenched his fists and said.
”I should have expected that from your father.”
”Well, you should have. Anyway, even though your growth speed is higher, you still have half of your current target to get by, so it would still take around a month of two for you to succeed. But before that, my father will succeed.”
”We will see about that. But that didn't answer why you are here.”
”Well, I heard that you have found a new treasure trove in the form of a human and using him to climb the ranks. What's his name again?”
”Sam?”
”Yeah, Sam. That guy. I heard he has some really good things in his hands and you two seem pretty close.”
”Where are you going with this?”
”I will stop my father and buy you some time if you get me something from him.”
”Something what?”
”A design? A recipe? A thing that could make a shit load of money for me. If you can get that, I will help you and stop my father for a couple of months. And in that time you can surely get promoted.”
”If you really want some business opportunity, you could ask him directly. I don't meddle in his business deals.”
”Well, I am also not asking you to meddle in the deal. In fact, it is not a deal at all. I want something for free without paying anything. You know like a gift from you to me.”
*SLAM* *CRASH*
Raunak stood and slammed his hand on the desk, destroying it into smithereens.
”How dare you? Do you really think that I am your servant that does everything you say?”
But the elf didn't show a single change in his expression.
”You are still as fiery as you were before. You might not be as weak as I think but that doesn't mean you are good enough. As for the servant thing? You are not that much different to me, at least for now until you really married my sister.
Until then, you are just a small-time official, who is trying to get together with my sister. So, if you really want to get together with my sister, you don't have a choice. You have to give me what I want. After all, you do know how capable my father is. He is extremely efficient and I am sure he will send her away easily without my intervention.
You have to make a decision.”
