Chapter 270 - One man war (1) (1/2)
As Mars finished speaking one of the generals began laughing, as his mocking laugh spread out in the room Mars got an increasing urge to snap his neck and thus he gave a wide smile and spoke
”Oh right, if I win I want this guy's life too”
The mocking laughter only got louder with Mars' demand, James gave a frown and looked troubled even though the greed shown clearly in his eyes he was hesitating a bit, at this point the mocking laughter suddenly stopped and then the general spoke out
”James, why don't we just have this clown executed and take his crystal card instead?”
James gave a frown and so did Vanessa and after some time did James speak again
”Who should keep track of our bet? Surely you have thought of this too have you not Mars?”
”Oh I have someone in mind... So what do you say, do you agree on our bet?”
”...Fine, I'll inform you which city tomorrow, then we'll all travel out there and you'll do your... conquering”
Mars gave a nod and a smile and shock hands with James before he took the crystal card back and walked out of the office, after he, the girls and Vannessa left James gave a wide smile and spoke to the two generals that also had wide smiles on their faces and spoke
”Whoever said that there's no free lunches in the world is a liar”
”James how much was on that crystal card?”
”just over 250.000.000 cel”
The two generals looked stunned for a moment before they both laughed with happy smiles on their faces until one of them asked
”...But what do we do if he actually wins the bet?”
The other general laughed and James also gave a smile
”Then we simply take the city from him afterwards, after all who can possibly hold us accountable and make us uphold our end of the bargain?”
”Well that's true... mind if I am the one to finish him off?”
”Oh, are you bothered by his extra demand?”
”It's insulting to think that he can just threaten me like that”
James gave a smile and a nod
”Fine... Let's talk about how to share the contents of the crystal card”
Mars' smile widened as he suddenly let out an intense bloodl.u.s.t, but only for a moment before he reeled it in again and gave a sigh before he muttered
”Mortals are really greedy... Oh well”
Then he gave a sigh and sat down on the bed, he and the girls were currently in a guest room in the castle, as he sat down 78 walked over, she looked a little concerned
”Umm... Mars, is this really okay?”
”It'll be fine, worst case I'll earn back the card within a year from doing merc work”
”Okay if you say so Mars then I'll trust you”
”Thanks”
The night passed quietly and the next day Mars walked out of the guest room along with the girls, outside stood about 50 elite guards, the captain of the guards gave a shallow bow to Mars and spoke
”Please follow after us, the sky carriages have been prepared”
'not letting us go huh... Well this works for me, besides it's adorable how the mortals think they are in control...'
Mars gave a smirk and obediently followed after the guards to the roof of the castle where a couple of sky carriages stood waiting, they were a little different from the ones from Green river however as they were about twice the size
