Chapter 37: Negotiation
Hey, it was me who invited you. Stop wasting my time.
"Hm, your temperament is also perfectly aligned with True Sword, really amazing."
Fuck you, mf... Stop turning the conversation around.
"Maybe I was thinking too highly of you; you are still lagging behind, compared with other people with sword bodies in the past."
Are you done...
"No, and this girl you got the Origin Body, it looks perfect at that. What are you doing here? When did those old perverts start to let their heir wander in the cosmos?"
Oh, you seem to know a lot.
"I have existed for billions of years, watching billions of races vanish in the endless river of time. Some were even far stronger than me, but they aren’t here, but I am. Take this Little Guy race example. They once dominated this universe, but now they are all gone. Haha..."
So what, your life is still bland. Haha...
"...What are you laughing about? Why did you summon me? I am not free like you to laugh around like crazy."
Huh, of course you can’t. In the presence of this emperor, you need to be humble.
"Kid, do you really have sword body? I had never seen a loser like you in billions of years of history. Sword Immortals use their sword, not their mouth, like you."
Stop it, I have an important deal for you.
"I’m listening."
Do you know about the seven-coloured immortal?
"Hm"
Well, give him to me.
"For what?"
What... nothing. That trash isn’t worth any exchange. If you have anything good, we can talk about it.
"Are you kidding me?"
Do you think I’m free enough to waste my time with you?
"..."
What happened now, give him to me. His world, and these people here, too. In return, I’ll let you become my follower.
"What do you think you are? I..."
Shut Up! You’re just an ant that survives by hiding and feeding on the weak. By following me, you can face the world without hiding.
"Oh, really, can you break them?"
Suddenly, the white world shrank, and the dark chain appeared in front of the wrapping around a gigantic white figure.
Huh, I already knew you were trash; it turned out you’re someone’s pet dog. Maybe I have to rethink my offer.
"You..."
Shut up! I already made the offer, as an emperor, I won’t go back on my word.
I went forward, touching these dark chains with my arms. They were a bit cold and metallic, just like the normal chains, yet the size and ancient runes make them stand out a bit.
I used Origin Flames to melt the chain, and the first time, it didn’t work out. I turned to the colourless.
Well, your condition is a bit special, but the offer is still here for you.
"Can you really break them?"
Of course I can, but I won’t. I don’t have time to do that. With these many chains, it would take me a whole year to break them.
"Why should I believe you?"
You don’t have to. Offer ends. Now, fuck off.
"Do you even know? Where are you right now? You can’t leave without my permission.
Oh, really...
I summoned my old toy, whom I had almost forgotten about. A small sword made up of crystal shining like a high-quality glow stick appeared in my hand. As it appeared, it quickly adjusted itself to my hand size, no longer like a small glow stick, but now it was more like a sword.
"This sword, how did you get it?"
Oh, you know about this, my childhood toy. Did it have any history too?
"It is one of the 10 legendary artefacts in the cosmos. A sword forged by the Eternal Sword Sect founder with his life essence. But it was in the ancient war 10 billion years ago."
Oh... Now, tell me, are you sending me out, or...
"Kid, have a little bit of patience, we can still negotiate about Seven coloured Immortal."
But now, I don’t want to.
"What about I give you that guy and his world and these people, plus a few of my ancient treasures. You just need to break these chains."
Sorry, but the offer is closed.
After almost an hour of serious negotiation, I signed the deal. The contract was quite simple. Colourless will give me whatever I want from his collection; in return, I will set him free within the next decade.
While I also got a bit of information about cosmic politics, and decided to delay the matter related to the Seven Colour Immortal and his world, that guy was already at the half God King realm. If the Colourless suddenly released him, the world would know something was going on behind the screen.
After contemplating for long, I too agree with him. I shouldn’t cause too much trouble for myself.
"Goodbye, Little friend, I will come again after 10 years. Don’t forget your promise."
With these last words, everything turned normal.
We were back in the green forest. No more white, but a refreshing, colourful world. As I was enjoying this colourful beauty, an unknown voice came from the side.
"Is it really real..."
When I looked down, there were two new people here. One was an old man, and the other was a Woman with thick thighs.
’Fuck... I can’t lose my composure. I am not a pervert..."
After taking a few long breaths, I looked at them again. In the meantime, they were already on their knees.
’Quite intelligent.’
Well, now that I have saved your life, what will you give me in return?
"Senior..."
Stop it, I already have work for you guys. Do it, and I will consider this exchange completed. Don’t, it’s just a simple task. You have to train a kid.
"Senior... whom you want us to teach."
Well, he is just a kid in the Void realm. Go to Vermillion City, wait for him there.
"But how will we find the right person?"
