Awakening: I Ascend As A Legendary Ranked Necromancer-Chapter 110: A deal

I took my seat and understood the tension in the air. The woman wanted them to release Arkin to them, but there was no guarantee they would give them information once the man was in their custody.

Thayer said. "And I’ve told you already, we’ll give him to you once we’ve gotten the information we need."

"You won’t," she said flatly. "Arkin isn’t the type you’ll be easy with; you need to torture him in a specialized way. Give him to us and we’ll get everything from him."

In truth, the only reason the Tower Guards aren’t here to take him by force is because he’s been kept in a Guildhouse. And because Thayer isn’t ashamed to throw his weight around.

Thayer didn’t want to give Arkin to them because this would just be as if he spent all that money for nothing. He had already spent a lot, and the businessman spirit in him wouldn’t just let go unless he saw the result. "Give us a few more days."

Her eyes darkened. "If you haven’t gotten him to talk now then what will a few more days provide?"

I spoke. "Well, I haven’t tortured him yet." I made sure my voice was calm and masked my hesitation and excitement. Everyone looked at me, and I shrugged, then I faced the woman. "I’ll have a go with him and see what happens.

"I’m a member of the team that brought him in. I’ll question him today and see how it goes."

She smiled, and her eyes shone in a way that almost made me look away. She stood up and strode out of the room without saying anything. The message is clear– today is the last day.

Thayer let out a long sigh. "Ah! How did everything turn out like this? All I want is zone b, but now...." He’s even spent more than he should, and now they are holding a member of the Chaos Cult captive.

Cele shuddered. "That woman is Silver rank, we don’t want to mess with them."

"Then what should we do? Even with all the torture we still can’t get the man to talk." Thayer even used truth serum but the man’s mind is like an Iron dome.

There was silence after that. I was putting together a plan in my head, but first, I wanted to hear what happened after I lost consciousness. "Tell me how I got here... where is here?"

I was told. First, I was in Eldridge, specifically in The Gold Guide’s building. And it was Cormac who saved me and took me to a different block when the explosion I caused drew the attention of the silent dagger’s main force.

Cormac then went back to the silent dagger building that was where the surprise began. He found the woman– sent by the Tower Guards– and she was already slaughtering her way toward the guest room.

, She has been watching them since they left the zone and followed them. Her goal was to save Arkin for her boss, but since Cormac already joined her, she rescued Temur too.

Then they flew on her flying ship and made their way to Eldrida as fast as they could, all the while stabilizing us with potions. Cormac alerted Thayer about their coming, and he was the one who was able to get Arkin from her before they took him to the Tower Guards.

But now they must get their information and send the man back – they did promise Captain Ryker that they would provide him with information. Now they’ll give him a witness, first mouth information.

I let out a long breath when everybody was explained. "Temur, there’s only one thing I can think about for what we did in that town."

"And? What’s it?"

I let out a grin. "Litha would approve."

Temur let out a low groan. "Yes, she would."

Later in the afternoon, when it was just Temur, Thayer, and me, we talked about what we had done back in the town.

"It’s too far away from here but the Tower Guards said they will claim responsibility. Say they carried out an operation there, the town is a criminal den anyway." Thayer said.

"You must have spent a lot to get the Tower Guards involved," I noted.

"Yes," Thayer narrowed his eyes. "My new Guild has spent so much in this weeks. Iff I invest it on new members andartifacts,ts, I’ll hato ve made us stronger."

I looked him right in the eyes. "It is worth it for a businessman like you. I’m surprised you didn’t see it." I shrugged casually.

"What are you talking about?" Thayer bristled.

"Think about it like this, an investment. You just invested in one of the stronger teams in our set. Do you think only your team would have claimed that zone? You’ve read the reports haven’t you?"

Temur stood from his place and bowed to the rich guy. "We will still need your help, Thayer. Sponsor us until we can rescue Litha, and our team will owe you a big favor."

Thayer finally smiled. Yes, indeed, he read the report, and he knew the three of us would have claimed the zone alone ourselves. "You will owe me three big favors, then you can forget about money till you rescue her."

"No," I smiled sweetly. "One big favor and one small one."

Thayer shrugged. "It’s a deal."

Human investment, from what Thayer already read from the different reports he gathered from the team and what he knew about me, he won’t be surprised if our team becomes figures that’ll make important decisions for the Tower.

He cleared his throat. "Anyway. Let’s talk about him, how can we get the information we need from him before tomorrow? Pain isn’t working, and we make a deal isn’t working either since he just wants you."

I stood. "You don’t have to worry about him, I will deal with him myself."

Temur raised his brows. "What are you going to do?"

"I’m going to the slaughterhouse."
