Chapter 190. Negotiation 2: Forcibly stepping on mines
But he still wanted to avoid the question, so he fled to the right with a glint in his eyes. However, the next moment, his eyes, as if enchanted, were uncontrollably sucked back to 99's cute and scary bloody eyes.
Although Joshua only had his sister in his heart, he had to admit that the childish-looking Nightless in front of him exuded a unique charm that was different from that of adults.
After a few seconds of silence, Joshua said with a serious and reverent expression, "There may be, but if you don't want to help transport these, I will definitely not force it."
Joshua had expected Ninety-Nine to refuse the delivery of these two items after he told the truth. But he didn't expect that Ninety-Nine actually asked the next question directly: "So why are you looking for me?"
Joshua's brain couldn't react for a while due to the continuous questioning, so he thought for 1 second and replied, "Because you are the Lord of the Night, you can use space magic. And space magic is a high-level magic that we Red Devils can't master in our lifetime."
"Hehe, isn't that nonsense?" Thinking in his heart, Ninety-Nine continued to calmly ask, "But, isn't there a teleportation point in every city? With your financial resources, Mr. Joshua, do you care about a few small teleportation crystals?"
Joshua's eyes sank, and then he involuntarily raised it, looked at Ninety-Nine, and said with a wry smile: "Hehe, I really don't care, but you also know that some goods can't see the light."
"Oh, that's right." Ninety-Nine finally showed a faint smile, then the corners of his mouth sank, and he asked seriously (indifferently) again, "But I'm still curious why Mr. Joshua is looking for me. Don't you hold a grudge against me?"
Ninety-nine directly detonates the minefield - since you don't want to lift it up, then I'll go straight up myself. (Vampires who are not afraid of death and will not die are so willful.) )
99 The purpose of this is very simple: to test whether Joshua holds a grudge against himself.
If so, then 99 would never have worked with Joshua.
Even if he is right, cooperation needs to be based on trust.
[Hide]
For 99, he was negotiating with Joshua just to increase his connections, so that he could get more ways to get knighted, and to speed up the time for him to get a knighthood.
And 99 has already gained a lot of favor from the city lord Li Wenzheng.
- The grace of saving the son, that is a priceless favor.
So even if you don't have Joshua's connections, it's okay.
Although there is such a thing as connections, whether it is a game or reality, the more the better.
However, security must also be considered. 99 doesn't want to experience betrayal again.

On the other side, after listening to Ninety-Nine's question, the wry smile on Joshua's face immediately froze, obviously this question poked his henchman.
He looked at the unusually calm and unusually calm child in front of him, who didn't look like a joke at all.
His long-standing eyes were filled with surprise, doubt, and nervousness.
mouth, can't help but feel a little dry.
Immediately, Joshua's uneasy eyes suddenly sank, and he looked at the table, and after hesitating for a second, he raised his hand to 'draw' the wine glass, held it with four fingers, and took a sip. The glass was a bit small, so Lawne held it to the bottom of it with his little female fingers.
After taking a sip, Joshua withdrew the glass from his lips, but did not put it down. The eyes of thought were still nervously looking at the desktop.
And the pseudo-Lori opposite him, still the same as just now, stared indifferently at the gangster boss in front of him with a red-clipped-white hairstyle.
And the succubus lady Yueen, who was sandwiched between the two, was extremely embarrassed to hold the wine glass with both hands and drink, while using her overwhelmed red pupils and eyes to swing back and forth to watch the negotiation between the two bigwigs on the left and right.
After a second of silence, Joshua looked at the red liquid in the wine glass in his hand like a young man drinking wine in a tavern, and said solemnly and sadly, "To be honest, I do hate you a little. You hurt my sister and killed me."
The tone that was flat at first, but the moment he said 'yes,' he began to be ruthless, and the anger and hatred in Joshua's heart could be heard. At the end of his sentence, the liquid surface of the wine glass in his hand trembled slightly with anger.
At the same time, at the moment when Joshua said goodbye, Yueen, who was sitting on the side, immediately looked at Joshua with a frightened face, and said, "Shuya? What are you talking about! ”
The succubus read anxiously and fearfully. Obviously, Lawn had already promised Yueen before this: he would no longer hold a grudge against this 99.
And yet he actually said such things at this moment. How can this not worry about being a sister.
Just as Lawn is a deep sister, Yueen is also a full brother. (2-370)
Joshua didn't answer Yueen, he was still staring at the wine in his hand, and after a pause of 1.99 seconds, he continued, "But you...... but he raised us again, and kept our secrets."
This time, his tone softened a lot, full of relief, but at the same time, he could hear the entanglement in his heart. The liquid level in his hands was also much calmer.
"I've never been to this before, so I don't know if I should hate or not. But no matter what, you kept the secret for us. To be honest, I'm a little scared of you telling the lord of the castle after you're gone......" He put his glass to his lips, as if to take another sip, but he stopped and put the glass back on the table, while he looked up at 99, who had a poker face.
[Hide]
The logic of Joshua's words at this moment is not very clear, but it is precisely because it is not clear that it seems true.
Because this kind of resurrection after death and keeping secrets for lawbreakers is indeed not something that a Red Devil can figure out and understand. It's not clear, it's normal.
After all, the Red Devils are a race that cannot use resurrection magic, and they do not have the information reserves to deal with resurrection events, let alone the values to deal with such things.

「…… It's the first time I've seen a Sleepless like you, who keep your promises. And, if I'm not mistaken, you did it out of hatred of the devil that you did it to my sister." Joshua was serious and serious, not blushing at all, and said things that were easy to think about.
The serious young nun, her upper eyelids sank, and the killing intent immediately lit up in the inverted triangular silver pupils. Then 'her' eyes became a little apologetic, the red pupils briefly tilted to the side, and the pseudo-Lori smiled bitterly, and then looked at Joshua again, and said, "Well, that's right. I do hate demons, especially succubi......" At the end, Ninety-Nine's gaze took a quick look at Yueen, who had been silent with wine in both hands, in 0.5 seconds, and then looked back at Joshua Lawn.
