Chapter 31 Hangover 2 (2/2)
Ferris' eyes became covered with gloom, but still didn't moved away from Jevil, ”I'm here to make a deal.” She decided to open up the game right away, she disliked being around people she couldn't read or manipulate, like Jevil.
”Finally, over with the games and threats.” Jevil eased up the hand, but still kept his hand in her chin. His finger slowly moved around, ”So... What's it?”
”Like I said workers, we need lots of them.”
”Not normal workers, I assume...” He chuckled, ”I don't work with that kind of thing anymore. I'm a clean businessman now. If you want this kind of... Workers... You should go see the Syndicate.”
”I know... But that fat, heidous boss of the Syndicate keep wanting to have his way to me. I feel disgusted just by looking at his lustful eyes.”
”He haven't changed nothing.” Jevil gave a low chuckle, ”You want me to be the middle man and make the deal...”
”Yes...”
”Declined.” Jevil let go of Ferris' chin, ”The Central Ocean Faction is watching me like a hawk now that they have full control over the Ark Outpost. And more than that, they gave me a lot of benefits now that the Ark Outpost is going to be completely open. You and me, we are different. I seek profits while still having some moral grounds, but you, you completely seek profits and personal gain, whatever the cost. It's too dangerous to work with you. I prefer making deals with the Central Ocean Faction and Administrator Itsuki.”
Ferris' eyes darkened, ”Are you sure? Cutting up old ties, just like that?”
”Alright, alright. Don't look at me with those venomous eyes.” Jevil helplessly said, ”I will help you. One last time. Give me the contact of your messenger. I will send my guy to take him.”
Ferris sweetly smiled, ”I knew I could count on you.” Ferris reached for her PIPS and took a Data Chip out of it, ”Here it is his number, personal information and location.”
Jevil took it and connected it on his PIPS, ”He is a Novakid?” He slightly exclaimed, ”That's rare... For them to work for the Letheia Corporation.”
”Correct. He's my favorite pawn.”
”Alright... Just for clarification, the money is already with him, right?”
”Yes. You just need to take him and then he will guide you toward the Syndicate's hidden fortress.”
”Then... This will be our last time working togheter.” Jevil stood up and showed his hand.
”Unfortunately...” Ferris also stood up and shook hands with Jevil, closing up the deal.
Ferris took the her cup of whiskey and started to leave.
”Wait!” Jevil called out from behind, ”Can you give me his name. Here on the Data Chip it only show his Agent number.”
”Oh... Sorry. I forgot about that...” Ferris gave a sweet smile toward Jevil, ”His name is... Oscar.”
