Chapter 270: The Lord of Honest Lies

It must be known that most of the stories circulating on Earth about making deals with demons and eventually causing their souls to be sold to demons come from Mephisto.

Most of the people who made deals with him knew this.

Even so, the fundamental reason why so many people still trade with him is because he can really fulfill the wishes of those who trade with him.

For example, there was once a teenager who chose to make a deal with Mephisto in order to save his father who was about to die of cancer, and in the end Mephisto did cure his father's cancer, but his father died soon due to an accident and still did not survive.

The deal ended with the boy selling his soul to Mephisto and becoming his henchman, but still failing to save his father.

Afterwards, Mephisto also admitted that he had known that the boy's father would die in an accident, not from cancer, as the boy imagined.

In other words, whether or not Mephisto cured his teenage father's cancer, he would have died from that accident.

From the teenager's point of view, Mephisto undoubtedly took advantage of the information asymmetry and deceived him.

But objectively speaking, did Mephisto lie?

Of course not.

Not only did he not lie, but he also cured the young father's cancer as promised according to the content of the transaction.

Although his ultimate goal was to get the boy's soul, and he was very 'wicked' to tell the boy that his father would die in an accident, even if he could.

As a result, the boy not only failed to save his father, but also paid himself.

But in the process, Mephisto's deal with the teenager was completed as promised.

As far as the transaction itself is concerned, Mephisto is not only not cheating and cheating, but also very honest.

Of course, if he wanted to, he could have completely changed the fate of the young man's father so that he would not die in an accident, so that the boy did not have to hold a grudge against him.

But he didn't.

Because he really enjoys the feeling of being loved and hated at the same time, which is also one of his greatest pleasures.

In fact, there are many more things like this.

Some people are more fortunate than teenagers and don't sell themselves outright to Mephisto because of a single transaction.

But there is only a difference between zero and countless times of trading with demons.

As long as you have tasted the sweetness, as long as you still have desire, you are destined to not have it only once.

Perhaps half of the hundred people who traded with him would not have tasted the bitter fruit of the first transaction.

But there may not even be one who can live without tasting the bitter fruit in his life.

However, as Mephisto said, no matter how weak the trade partner is, he will not use force to force the other party, the transaction is absolutely willing, and he does not care to use force to achieve the goal.

If that were the case, he would undoubtedly lose the joy of trading with sentient beings.

Therefore, he never forced anyone to trade with him.

Just like now, he clearly instigated Mordu's dissatisfaction with the Ancient One Mage.

Of course, Mordo could not fail to see this.

"Mephisto, don't think I don't know what you're up to...... Mordo whispered to himself with a blank face, "and a lot of Mum is using Casillas, but isn't your ultimate goal the same as Dormammu's, to clear the teacher's obstacle?" ”

"I never seem to have denied that, did I?" Mephisto chuckled, "I admit that the presence of the Ancient One Mage is an eyesore in the eyes of us Hell Lords, and we want her to disappear whenever we have the chance. ”

"But I'm different from Dormammu, the Ancient One doesn't have any personal grudges with me, it's just a difference in position, you really don't need to be so defensive about me......"

Mordo: "You don't need to say it anymore, the teacher is so kind to me, I won't be used by you!" ”

"Oh? Then why don't you just tell her that I've found you? Mephisto asked with a smirk.

Mordo was silent.

Mephisto continued, laughing, "After all, you still can't fully trust her, can you?" Or rather, you've never trusted anyone thoroughly...... You're afraid that if you tell her about it, she'll wonder if you've been fooled by me. ”

"Boring." Mordo said coldly.

"Hey ......"

Mephisto smiled, didn't continue arguing with Mordo, and quietly disappeared.

Only a cloudy and uncertain Modu was left.

"Who?!"

Mordo turned his head sharply and saw a blonde man smoking a cigar under a big tree not far away.

Of course, this blonde man is no stranger to him, and it is the man who has been the most talked about in Kama Taj recently-

John Constantine!

Many mages were very dissatisfied with this seemingly angry guy, thinking that he was not worthy of being a mage, and felt that the ancient one mage should not allow him to stay here.

Among them, Casillas was the most dissatisfied with him, and often mocked him in person.

It's a pity that he never accepts the call, so Casillas can't be angry.

Mordo's temperament is not as clear as Casillas's love and hate, he doesn't have any likes and dislikes for Konstantin, and the two don't communicate much, so they can only be regarded as acquaintances.

However, this is no longer the case.

Because he wasn't sure when the other party appeared there, and he didn't understand why he hadn't noticed the other party before, and he hadn't noticed it until now......

What's more, he wasn't sure if Konstantin had heard those self-talks he had just said!

"Good afternoon, Master Mordoβ€”"

The deputy personality of Zakang exhaled a puff of smoke as he greeted him, and walked towards Mordo.

He patted Mordo on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, I just happened to be passing by, I didn't hear anything just now, and I didn't see anything." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"You're busy, I'll withdraw first."

Without waiting for Mordo to respond, the Zakon deputybody walked in the direction where Casillas had left.

Behind him, Mordo's face became more and more ugly, his fists clenched and loosened, released and clenched!

"Oh yes, I'll probably go out for a while now, if you run into the Ancient One Mage, remember to help me talk to her." The deputy personality of Za Kang suddenly stopped, turned to Mo Du and said.

At the moment when Za Kang's deputy personality turned around, Mo Du's face also returned to normal in an instant as if his face had changed, and he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Thanksβ€”"

Deputy Zakang raised his hand and turned around again.

Looking at the back of Za Kang's deputy personality, Mo Du couldn't figure out what the other party meant for a while.

At first, he said that he didn't see anything, but it sounded clear that he had seen everything he said, and then asked him to help bring a message to the ancient one, as if he was showing goodwill.

"You want to threaten me with that...... Still is? ”

Mordo fell into deep thought.
