Chapter 181: Manipulation (Mass Release 1/10)

"Even if I give June 20%, what makes you think you are worth 30?" Raquaz was now completely serious while everyone else was watching with full concentration.

"Let me ask you a few questions first before I answer your question" I smiled behind the mask.

"Go ahead" Raquaz clasped his clenched fist within his right hand

"Do you know what kind of mission this is?" I asked

"A rescue mission" He replied simply while I nodded

"So do you know the protocol of what to do if the threat is too large for us to attack or to even save anyone?" I tapped the table with the nail of my index finger.

"Yes? You retreat and ask for back-up from a more powerful team/party"

"And how would you do that?"

"What do you mean?" He looked confused.

"If the threat is too large for you to handle. chances are that they have seen you before you have seen them... How will you get out of a situation like that?" my smile grew

"Well, then it is just bad luck, right? There is nothing you can do about it other than fight with your life on the line"

"And you are willing to do that?" My voice was filled with mockery

"Of course!" Raquaz shouted with righteousness.

"Really? You are willing to watch everyone you know and love, die right before your eyes?" I slowly took my feet off the table before standing up.

"And for what?" I leaned closer, looking deeper into his eyes making him go into a trans for a split second

"For h-humanity" He tried to keep calm, but his hesitation was clear within his voice.

"..."

"..."

"Humanity?"

"Yes."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA" I could not take it anymore and I had to break character. What I had just heard was probably the funniest shit I had heard in this life. This man is willing to sacrifice his life, his friend's lives, and his own wife's life for humanity?! Is he some kind of idiot? How the hell will his sacrifice help anyone?

"Are you and idiot!?" I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes.

"Are you mocking my morals and aims?" His face was not pretty now

"No, I am mocking you for your stupidity. I can get you there easily and out the same way, and even then, our chances of being caught are extremely slim. Let me tell you a few things from the start so you don't have your hopes up about finding them alone. Firstly, if you accept or not, I and June are going anyway. Secondly, there is no way you are going to find them alone, and even in a situation where you actually find them, it will either be after we found them and had rescued them first, or when they are dead."

This time, it was Zaji who stood up before pointing at me.

"Wh-who do you think you are s-speaking to c-captain th-that way!" 

Completely ignoring him, I looked into the captain's eyes and spoke softly, yet just loud enough for him to hear me.

"I know who you are, what you are, your strengths and weaknesses, and guess what? All it took was a single glance. In a single glance, I already knew everything about you. Every single one of you is open books to me, and the same goes for my enemies. I can easily find any of you no matter where you go. I can smell the scent of your soul energy from miles away, while I can taste your fear, anxiety and insecurities as if they are all plates of food." I got even closer, this time making it that I was mere inches away from his face.

"Do you really want to watch everyone die in front of your eyes because from what I know so far about the beast whose master plan it was to kidnap people by using a treasure as bait, they will kill every single one of your fucking party, one by one, right in front of your eyes and he wont stop until it gets to your wife. Oh ho, I don't even want to imagine what kind of unspeakbale things he would do to your wife" I smirked while Raquaz shuddered at the image that appeared in his mind.

"But none of that has to happen. I can easily track down their route before finding where they are with my soul-mana eyes. This is nothing for me, but it is everything for you."I passed before carrying on again from our previous topic

"Can you imagine what would happen? Maybe he would use her until she breaks, or maybe she will leave you for him? Maybe she is a masochist who just loves being used and thrown to the side by-"

"OKAY STOP!" He slapped the table making it crack before snapping in half. This created a silent atmosphere that was extremely awkward for all personnel involved, however, I did not care. While he might not like the video of giving me 50% right now, he won't have a choice when the time comes.

"Just imagine it" I muttered, yet it was loud enough for him to hear as I slowly retreated by gradually taking steps back until I had gotten to where June was. This whole time June was quiet because she did not understand any of the things that were happeni*g right now, but now that she had the gist of it, she was willing to join in, well that was until she watched the table snap in half.

*"Maybe we should break her"*

*"What a scene it would be to make his wife beg for it in front of his very eyes."*

*"To swoop in and steal his lowly wife, what a scene to etch into my mind"*

The once much less coherent sentences had become borderline audible whispers whose effects had been multiplied by many levels due to the slight problem with the hormones.

"I'd love to know your answer but let's not meet for the next day or two. Tell Zaji to call me whenever you are willing to settle for the deal" I grabbed June by the arms and dragged her along with me without saying anything else. All the people in the club could do was look towards us with confusion, but eventually, they got over it and simply acted normal again.

In the meantime, Zaji was looking down at a spherical crystal that showed countless names on them, however, one name that Zaji had no recollection of adding was now there, and its name was "Lilith xoxo"
