138 Too Full Of Yourself (1/2)
Why does everybody these days have deals or offers for me? Dues, then Cartel, and now this sad excuse for a dark elf too.
”What is it?” Since I have found the previous two deals very beneficial in one way or another, I decide to hear out this deal of his as well.
”Join us.”
… Well, that's not a very enticing offer in any possible way but,
”In exchange,”
Maybe I can get a great benefit out of it-
”We will offer you everything that you could ever desire.”
…
”Money, wealth, property, women,”
Your first and second are basically the same damn thing and the third kinda comes automatically with the first one. As for the third, even without the blessing that had made my life hell, I am still the most handsome man I know (aside from, maybe, God; but let's pretend he doesn't exist), so that's the last thing I would ever 'desire'. Henceforth,
”No.” –is my answer to his frankly stupid deal.
”And why is that?” The fat elf asks with genuine confusion.
��That's because there is only one thing that I truly desire, and you don't have the power to give me that.”
”Well,” he asks with curiosity welling up his eyes, ”at least tell me what it is.”
”I want the past to be changed so that Angels and Demons would still be alive in present.” I state plainly. ”You think you can do that?”
”…” Speechless as obviously the answer is a 'no', the Jom-kun starts looking at me with somewhat wary looks now. ”W-why do you want that?”
”Why the hell should I tell you when it wouldn't really make a difference by doing so?” I ask, irritated at the tone this fat idiot has had since the start. Even though he is the leader of a band of mercenaries, he is acting like he's the king of the universe or something, even saying stuff like he'll give me anything I'd ever desire.
”Well, if that's all,” I say, ”I would like to get going now.”
I have a lot of things to do, which I am hoping would be far better than talking to this Jom-e-wah.
”Now that's going to be a problem.” Jom interrupts as I start turning around. ”See, if you had joined us, we could have told Cartel that there was no reason to kill you anymore that you are on our side and henceforth, you would have become able to roam about freely, for the most part at least. But now that-”
”Shut it!”
