GOR Chapter 667 Two Things

“I believe… … you should no longer have any questions, right?” Lei Hu ignored Chen Xiaolian’s sneer and softly clapped his hands. “If so, why don’t we discuss the conditions.”

“Conditions?” Chen Xiaolian raised his eyebrows. “Speak up, then.”

“Judging by your age and demeanour… … you two should be a couple, right?” Lei Hu’s gaze turned towards Qiao Qiao and Bluesea. “I do not know how you acquired that miraculous prop, which allowed you to come to his damned place. However, your courage and determination amaze me. This must be the power of love. What I do not understand is, this Awakened, what is his relationship with you?”

“Friend,” Chen Xiaolian replied coolly.

“To be able to make an Awakened who has lost his memories to accept you as a friend once more, it would seem you have quite the glib tongue.” Lei Hu chuckled. “It seems you plan on taking him along. If I am not mistaken, the prop that can bring others out from this World’s End has exactly two slots.”

“You are quite knowledgeable.” Chen Xiaolian smiled. However, his heart sank.

He had originally intended to casually promise Lei Hu that he would take him away with him as a method of buying time while he awaited Sister Yun’s arrival.

However, Lei Hu… … he actually knew that the number of slots left on the Lifehymn Music Score was two.

“Don’t put me on the same level as that idiot Sebast. Back then, he was just a minor foot soldier. As for me… … I was Bai Qi’s personal minister.” Lei Hu smiled. “Even when that blond man arrived to find him, I had been beside him all the time. Lifehymn Music Score. Is that the right name?”

Chen Xiaolian was silent.

“Don’t be surprised that I knew about Sebast’s matter. Although it is still far from being omnipotent, I can still deduce out some matters that are related to me.” There was a highly prideful expression on Lei Hu’s face. “Even your other companion… … mm, that woman. I have already made the proper arrangements for her. You can stop waiting for her.”

Chen Xiaolian’s heart sank again.

Looking at Chen Xiaolian’s face, Lei Hu continued calmly.

“I know that she is very strong. The strength that you two possess is far from enough to kill off Sebast, who is an [A] class expert. So… … it would seem that she is also an [S] class?

“However, in the Pantheon Temple, I had arranged for one other [S] class expert, four [A+] class experts, three [A] class experts and… … an [S] class spell array. With such a grand line-up, even if she grows wings, it would be difficult for her to fly away.”

“You haven’t told me your conditions,” said Chen Xiaolian coolly.

“I just wanted to give you a better understanding of the current situation. Young people get anxious too easily.” Lei Hu laughed.

Within this psychological warfare, he appeared to have gained the absolute high ground.

Every arrangements he made had been implemented to perfection. The degree of psychological pressure on his opponents had reached the greatest point as well.

Now was the time for him to reel in this beautifully crafted net of his.

“I believe that for you to obtain such a prop, your guild in the outside world cannot be weak. However… … no matter where or when, obtaining the friendship of an [S] class expert is never a bad thing. By taking me with you, you will obtain my friendship.”

“Friendship? Sound pointless to me,” replied Chen Xiaolian with an indifferent smile.

“You want something more specific and practical?” Lei Hu raised his brows. “It is simple. If you have a guild, I can join your guild and even accept you as the Guild Leader. I believe that having an [S] class in their guild is something that many could only dream of.”

“Those are some generous conditions…” Chen Xiaolian smiled.

“But of course. Like I said, I have always believed that, if we can obtain benefits through negotiations, then we should do our best to avoid the use of violence. When it comes to negotiations, I am never a stingy person.” Lei Hu revealed a dignified smile. “Besides, I have no plans to take anyone else. Given how this friend of yours is an Awakened, I believe that he was not originally part of your plan, right? Bringing me will not be a loss for you. After bringing me back, I’ll keep quiet, you keep quiet, your girlfriend keeps quiet, no one needs to know that you had once given up on a friend in World’s End. No… … truth be told, this cannot even be considered as giving up.”

Lei Hu spread open both hands and stood up. Then, he spoke in an upright manner, “I believe you should already be very familiar with the operating rules of World’s End. As an Awakened, he should have disappeared during one of the predetermined refresh cycles. Were it not for the mishap with World’s End some time ago, there was no way he could survive long enough to even meet you. Such is the laws of Heaven. Death has always been his fate. You are doing him no wrong, you are certainly not betraying him. You are just… … making the right decision!”

There was a gentle smile on Lei Hu’s face as he extended his hand out toward Chen Xiaolian. “Sebast is an old acquaintance of mine, I know his temperament very well. When he first encountered you, he must have immediately chosen to use the hard approach. A pity. For me, however, that is a good thing. He failed to obtain your trust. And yet, I ask that you trust me on this, him and me – we are not the same.”

Lei Hu waited for Chen Xiaolian to accept his hand, but Chen Xiaolian instead gave a faint sigh. He remained seated on the stump, not getting up to accept Lei Hu’s outstretched hand. “I have to say, you are really a top-class persuader. I now understand how you were able to bring those scattered Irregularities together to establish the vast Coalition and become its leader.”

“Thank you for your compliment.” Lei Hu smiled. His extended hand remained outstretched, steady and motionless.
