GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1810: Betrayed.



Legion-3 added, "Besides, you are the only one in your pantheon that is a major threat to us. If you don't participate in blocking us, then they might just be wasting their time."

What they said made her scowl. She said, "Then stop being unreasonable and sign the contract."

Legion-3 shook his head and said, "I would rather be unreasonable than do something foolish. What you are offering is not nearly enough for me to risk what I have. Besides, I already know that I will lose in a fight with you, so why should I bother?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She sneered at him, "So you know you are weak. But you haven't come to the understanding that your weakness is why you shouldn't be in possession of the two weapons. Know your place and give them to me. I, in my infinite generosity, will allow you to join my Pantheon. I promise to protect you."

Legion-3 replied, "No, thank you."

She turned to the other Orc Bandits and said, "Can you really bear with the repercussions of his stubbornness? All six of you will suffer because of him. I know you have chosen to cooperate because 9 Crowns is sharing his weapon with you, but I can also share it with you if I get it. And I am also stronger than him, so you will have a better partner in me." Legion-1 said to her, "Don't bother to try and break up our alliance. They already signed a divine contract with me. Just you wait for when we combine the might of all six of our Pantheons. We will see if you can continue to be smug then."

Crystal Hoard ignored him and focused on Legion-2, "You and the remaining three in your alliance are enjoying the benefit of 9 Crowns' weapon. It is a smart idea to ally with him for it. I know you signed a divine contract, but I don't think you guys were foolish enough to make the contract last forever. Surely there must be a clause to break it or a provision to end it."

Legion-2 replied, "You are right. There is a way to break the contract. But it will cost us a lot of divinity. It is not something we can afford right now."

Crystal Hoard became happy immediately. Her face was still frozen and her voice was still mellow, but if they could see her true body in the void universe, they would be able to see the excitement in her eyes and the change in her demenor.

She said calmly, "That's great. Whatever it is, I can afford it. I'll help you break your shackles with this burden of a god."

She was tempting Legion-1's allies to betray him right in front of him, but she didn't care. Not only is she enjoying the process of breaking his alliance right in front of his face, she is also hoping to use this to pressure him into breaking down and accepting her offer.

She said to all of them, "Don't worry. I can help all of you break the contract. Then you will have nothing to compel you to suffer with him like this."

None of his two allies refuted her. They didn't even try to pretend to be loyal. They were so tempted by the offer that they were seriously considering it right in front of him.

The sight made Crystal Howard's dragon body in the void universe smirk in triumph. But Legion-1 couldn't take it in anymore. He said to Legion-2, "You can't seriously be considering betraying me. You can't do this to me."

Legion-2 didn't even look at him as he said, "I can. It's in the contract."

Legion-1 became so angry that he stomped away. His actions seem to have awoken Legion-3. He said to Crystal Hoard, "I'm not taking your deal. I don't want to lose my precious golden light."

She snorted and said, "Stubborn to the bitter end. That's commendable even though you are a rat clinging to a sinking ship."

Legion-3 ignored her and said to Legion-2, "Whatever you do, don't trust her. She is only using you to break up our strength. She will dump you when she gets what she wants."

Legion-2 rolled his eyes and replied, "I'm not foolish. I know that. I also know that you want this alliance to remain above everyone else because you get to use two special weapons. If the alliance falls, you will lose the most, even more than Legion-1. So your advice is not without an ulterior motive either."

Legion-3 shook his head and went after Legion-1. Only Legion-2 remained to speak with Crystal Hoard.

She said to him, "You're making a good decision, my friend. I want you to know that..." Legion-2 cut her off. "We are not friends. And no matter what you say, it doesn't change the fact I am benefiting from this alliance. The alliance might be having problems now because of you, but without the alliance, I will lose a bulk of my strength."

She continued to smile, "Don't worry about that. I will make it worth your while."

Legion-2 was not appeased. He made other demands, "Not only that, I can only promise that I will break the alliance with them. I can't promise that I won't form another alliance with them if you fail to bring them down."

That made her unhappy. She asked with frustration, "Then what use is breaking the alliance in the first place if you can join it again?"

Legion-2 didn't back down. He filed his hands and said, "That is up to you to make me not want to join their alliance anymore. If you can make it worth my while, I can promise not to join their alliance again for a year. I will also help you convince the others. But if you don't manage to eliminate 9 Crowns or can't get the two weapons during that time, we will return to them. That's the best I can promise and do."
