Chapter 46 The truth is not important, but making money
Arrow tried to make his speech as simple as possible, because if the president's brain was completely unable to turn around and not understand like Brad, then his own life would be ruined on this mouth.
But fortunately, Wolf pondered a little after listening, and finally nodded slightly: "I see, so this battle between us is a mistake?" If I kill you, I will be miserable, and you will be finished if you hype up and defeat me. But ah...... President Mermaid, have you forgotten something? β
Wolf's face leaned over and his mouth opened, and the thick foul breath pounced on Arrow's nose through the sharp fangs, making him almost unable to maintain a smile on his face.
"The fact now is that nine of my companions died after all. Even if I turn around and leave now, you won't say anything, but it's a fact that I've lost manpower. Won't the townspeople of that town guess when they see that you're safe? If they come into this forest and see so many of my men dead, won't they see it? Will my reputation be damaged if it is different? β
"What's more...... Your mermaid song makes me very unhappy, how can I bear this bad breath? β
According to the short president's answer, Wolf would decide whether to cut off his head with a single knife or think again.
It's just that Arrow smiled even brighter: "So, I want to work with you to make a business, a business that is good for both of us." β
"The reason why you have damaged your reputation, President Wolff, is because all of your men have been killed in battle. It's not easy to get out. But why can't we think about it from a different perspective? If your men didn't die while fighting in our Merfolk Song, but ...... What about those you killed? β
Wolf was slightly stunned, and the expression on his face suddenly became hideous: "You mean I suddenly went crazy and killed all my guild members?!" β
Arrow hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile, "No, you listen to me." This unfortunate event, I think, actually happened like this. β
"The president of the Iron Wolf Guild, Wolf Fez, has always been law-abiding and runs his own Iron Wolf Guild. One day, however, a mage named Merlin Whisperer joined the Iron Wolf Guild and secretly encouraged your men to raid the Viscount's Mansion. β
"On the day of the operation, you, sensing that the members were not in the right state, secretly followed your guild members, only to discover that they were slaughtering the people of the Viscount's Palace. Surprised and angry at all this, you immediately try to stop a little maid named Raela after helping them save them. β
"But just as you were about to make a move, the garrison came, and as a last resort, you fled with your guild members. In the days that followed, you and your guild members began to have a grudge against each other. You want to hand these beast-hearted creatures over to the garrison, but then your Iron Wolf Guild will be ruined in an instant. But if you don't hand over people, it's really annoying to watch these bastards walk around under your nose every day. β
"On this very day, the cream in your guild suddenly fled, and the beasts immediately encouraged you to take the lead in hunting for the cream. On the one hand, you really haven't made up your mind about whether or not to turn against these beasts, and on the other hand, you are really worried that if Cream tells the truth about the murder in the Viscount's Mansion of the Garrison, then you will also have to go to the gallows. As a last resort, you decide to lead a team to hunt down Cream. β
"After arriving in Pelican Town and meeting with our Merfolk Song, you led your party to the forest and caught up with Cream."
"But just when all your members said they wanted to kill Cream, you kept the last of your senses and felt that you couldn't continue like this, so you wanted to let Cream go."
"Your words naturally aroused the hostility of all the guild members, and the gap between the two sides that had been between them for a long time also broke out at this moment! The guild members you brought with you, led by the mage, immediately betrayed you and wanted to kill you along with Cream. Alone in the face of the attacks of nine iron wolves, you launched an extremely gorgeous and shocking battle, and you still protected Cream even though you were seriously injured! β
"Finally, our Mermaid Song sensed that something was wrong and arrived later, although our strength is weak, but your strength is extremely strong! Our Mermaid Song is just to help you and do it. In this way, we both cooperated, with you, Brad, Coco, and Cream four people against the nine Iron Wolf members led by Merlin, four against nine, and finally won a difficult victory. In this way, you can be crowned as a tragic hero, and our Mermaid Song can also make a little name for helping you eradicate traitors, and get a little bit of a small job that we can do. β
This may be the first time that Coco, Brad, Cream, and Parfay have completely confirmed the expressions of their own president when they lied.
If it weren't for the fact that all four of them were injured or exhausted, they would almost have to believe that what their president said was true! This kind of level of not changing their faces and hearts not beating, blatantly lying and fabricating the truth, these four are really far inferior to themselves.
There was a slight pause to give Wolf time to think. After feeling that it was almost enough, Arrow continued, "President Wolf, the reason why you want to hunt down Cream and our guild is because of Merlin. Now that he's dead, what the truth of this battle is, it's natural that we make it up how we want to make it up, isn't it? β
Wolf tilted his head, pondering the words. After a moment of silence, the knife around Arrow's neck was finally retracted.
But before Arrow could breathe a sigh of relief, Wolf walked up to Cream, who was lying on the ground and couldn't move, raised his knife and pointed it at him, and said with a smile: "In this case, then why don't you let this little thief die in this battle?" It makes no difference if you die more or less. β
Seeing that the blade was already against Cream's chest, Arrow rolled his eyes and immediately said, "Please be merciful!" In this plan, it is better for Cream to be alive. β
"Why?" Wolf turned back with some dissatisfaction, "Just say that he died in battle, if you don't say it, who will doubt it?" β
"Of course other people with brains will be suspicious!"
Arrow spread out his hands and said in a slightly quickened toneβ
Since it was Cream who let go of the maid named Raira, Rayla naturally told the people in the garrison about Cream. Therefore, the only person in this world who can prove that President Wolf is on the side of justice is the guy you are pointing at now! β
"If this guy is alive, it will be more credible for him to go out and spread the news that you have been betrayed by the Iron Wolf in the future. Because he is also a member of the Iron Wolf, it will be more credible to show your heart to be righteous through the mouth of others than if you say it yourself! β
Hear that the topic shifts to himself, and he wants to preach Wolf's justice himself? Cream, who was originally paralyzed on the ground, was furious for a while, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Wolf in front of him viciously: "What are you kidding?" You want me to say nice things for him?! This guy ...... This brute! He forced me to see how he cut Raella's flesh with a knife! Even if I desperately plead, even if I kowtow and my face is covered with blood! This guy still takes pleasure in torturing Raella! You want me to speak for him? I'd rather die than do it! β
After hearing this, Wolf turned his head and looked at Eero with a wait-and-see look.
And Arrow now has the urge to rush up and stomp on the thief's feet, but on the surface, he still has to maintain his smile-
"Again, Cream is alive, and his words can make more people believe that you are the real victim. We need a person to tell the 'truth', and that person is best suited to be honest. After all, everyone is out to make money, and there is no need to make things so stiff. I believe that as long as after a while, this guy's anger is gone, and he has money to make, what girl can't find another one? Is it possible to keep in conflict with you? β
"But...... If he really won't help, there's a way. β
"President Wolff, you can always show that you care about Cream in front of outsiders, and you look a little sorry for him. When someone asks you, you can also say that you killed Rala because you promised to protect Rala with Cream, but in the end you failed to protect her, which is not an exaggeration to say that you killed her with your own hands. β
Cream struggled to spit on Arrow's side, "Despicable! Shameless! How can you be so shameless? In order to survive, in order to make money, can you just casually reverse black and white like this?! β
Ignoring him, Arrow continued, "Of course, we Mermaid Song will also speak for you openly on various occasions, and at the same time, we will also feel sorry for Cream, saying things like 'I hope he will be able to think about it one day' and 'I hope he won't do stupid things'. When we are on your side as a guild, it no longer matters whether what a little thief from the former Iron Wolf Guild said is true. β
Cream: "Whew! Phew! Scum! Profiteer! Eat people without spitting out bones! β
In an instant, Arrow's face was a little gloomy, with a slight evil smile, and he glanced at Cream coldly: "Of course, if this guy doesn't know what to do, he must trouble you, then you can deal with him quietly." I'm sure it won't take much effort to make your efforts. β
After saying this for a long time, at last, Wolf's hand holding the knife was raised again.
The iron wolf's face was full of smiles, and when he turned to look at Arrow, where did his eyes still look like an opponent who was still fighting to the death just now? It's like looking at an old friend.
"Although what you say makes a lot of sense, I still think this guy is very troublesome."
However, this relief only lasted for a short time. In the next second, Wolff's long knife fell sharply, steadily piercing Cream's lower abdomen.
"Wooββ!"
Bear, the flame is ignited, and this deliberate misalignment of the attack can make one's opponent experience more pain. Cream's expression distorted suddenly, and he didn't even have time to scream out of his mouth, so he could only watch the flames continue to rise from his stomach.
Wolf pulled out the blade, and not a drop of blood stuck to the long knife, leaving Cream to roll on the ground with his stomach in his hands, looking extremely miserable.
"Of course, what I just said is just the best policy."
Arrow continued to smile and said in an understatementβ
"But if President Wolf really doesn't feel comfortable with Cream, then he can be killed. To be honest, even if I keep him alive, I will take the time to communicate with him and let him help talk. If you are really unconvinced, then his existence is indeed a threat to us, and it is better to kill him, which is also a middle policy. β
Cream clutched her stomach and struggled to crawl towards the bushes next to her. Wolf followed with a leisurely face, and with another swing of his knife, a cut was immediately made in Cream's back. Brad gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but Arrow immediately walked over and gently pressed him.
"The best policy, the middle policy? So, can you tell me what your next step is? β
Slowly, Wolf came to Cream's side, grabbed the long knife in both hands, aimed it at the crawling Cream's neck, and raised it.
"What's next? What a plan......"
Airo exhaled slowlyβ
"It's just listening to people, and sometimes it's a bad thing."
"Huh?"
Wolf was stunned for a moment, but in the next moment, a huge force violently covered him!
It's King Slime, the Slime King who has just been seriously injured by him, but now it is the dragon tiger who violently suppresses Wolf, crushing him to the grass!
"This ...... This is......?! β
In an instant, Wolf understood why.
In King Slime's body, he saw some fragments of glass bottles with his own eyes.
Just now, the short man would throw it at him, but the technique was too bad, and he threw it directly behind him and smashed the glass bottle shards!
He saw with his own eyes that the short man would smash the bottles and rejuvenate the cream. In other words, didn't this guy hit himself with a bottle in a panic just now, but specifically aimed at King Slime behind him?!
