Book 4: Near Blood - Chapter 144: Sold Out 2 (2/2)

The Ferocious Race was stronger, so the Arcana Race and Resurrection Door were therefore at fault

Astin could only lower his head and say, “Selling hio and kill hi Chieftain”

Ryan was always facing off against him, so why not use Danba’s hand to elianization?”

Unfortunately, Danba didn’t fall for it “If there is a single person whose severed head could give me peace, then it would probably be Su Chen’s I don’t need anyone else’s head; I just need Su Chen’s”

Astin was stunned “Su Chen really never cao look for him on your own?”

Astin replied, “We obviously need an excuse If we just go looking for hi”

“So then find an excuse I don’t care whatto kill him no matter what the cost is!” Danba said loudly “Do this well and I will ions!”

Astin’s heart trembled when he heard this

If Danba had promised to make him the head of the Resurrection Door, he wouldn’t have believed hi of the Iron and Blood Country could do However, if it was to ht really be a possibility given Danba’s prestige

Danba’s words gave Astin quite the shock “I aive estions I don’t want some half-baked ideas I want a coan to rack his brains as quickly as he could

After thinking for a while, he said, “It’s not appropriate for the Resurrection Door to just go and look for Su Chen, but if so for hih of an excuse”

“Why would people from the Immortal Temple look for him?”

“Of course, ill need to fabricate a reason For instance, we can have the Immortal Temple send a few people into the Ferocious Race territory and have them run into some trouble, and then ask him for help However, this will require the Ferocious Race’s cooperation”

“That’s not a problem We will cooperate with you But if that’s your plan, isn’t that the sa out the Iht have on your relationshi+p with them?” Danba asked

Astin replied, “It will have an effect, but so what? We all operate underground and need one another The Immortal Temple won’t break off relations with the Resurrection Door over this, as Resurrection Door wouldn’t do that either Of course, to smooth over relations, ill need to provide theh, none of this will be a problem”

When he heard this, Danba chuckled “You Arcana Race lot scheerous to trust you too deeply”

Astin replied straightforwardly, “When you live in a cave for too long, you become a rat even if you weren’t one in the first pace If you aren’t skilled in betrayal and setting layers of fallback plans, how can you survive underground? Sacrificing others to strengthen yourself is an innate instinct of all lifeforms If you don’t understand this, you will be sacrificed by others I don’t want to be sacrificed, so I can only sacrifice someone else”

“Well said Then you’d better remember that while there are some people you can sell out, there are also some people that you can never sell out!” Danba said, hisclear

Astin bowed and replied, “The Resurrection Door will always be loyal to the Ferocious Race, to the Gravel Lizard Tribe, and to Young Chieftain Danba”

Danba didn’t take these words seriously, as if they were just a light breeze blowing past his face

All he said was, “Right, Su Chen isn’t a person ill help just anyone Even if it’s the I to make a move for just anyone You will need to think carefully about your exact plans”

Astin replied, “Then ill find soood relations with in the Immortal Temple”
