regained his composure he assisted
conard in taking a seat at the head of
the table signaling for the maid to
present wine and fruit while offering a
conciliatory smile Master please temper
your anger the purpose of your visit
today is to discuss another transaction
one that I assure you will pique your
interest upon hearing this Connor raised
an eyebrow a glimmer of curiosity
flashing in his eyes
oh you still have the audacity to
propose a transaction what could you
possibly possess that would catch my
interest he sneered his tone dripping
with skepticism and derision chapter 436
the transaction ceduo paid no heed to
Connor's derision he offered a
mysterious smile and whispered Master do
not be so Hasty in your conclusions what
I have prepared for you is sure to
Intrigue you would you be willing to
sacrifice another S-Class Powerhouse as
my offering Connor's voice was deep and
Powerful upon hearing this gedo's lips
curled into a Bittersweet smile shaking
his head helplessly Master you just
surely if I were to undertake such an
act the entire civilization would turn
against me rendering me the target of
their wrath though Connor spoke lightly
Gedo understood well the immense value
of an S-Class Powerhouse within their
ister civilization such sacrifices
cannot be made lightly the previous
offering had already required him to
exert tremendous mendous effort risking
everything to achieve should he attempt
such a feat again he would likely be
drowned in public scorn would you dare
mock me Connor's brow furrowed deeply
his eyes flashing with displeasure what
do you have that is substantial Gedo
felt a tightening in his chest hastily
explaining Master connard please do not
be angry allow me to elaborate fearing
Connor might Harbor a grudge and
secretly curse him Gedo recognized that
his current condition could not
withstand such turmoil taking a deep
breath to steady himself he continued
Master as you are aware our ister
civilization has been facing tremendous
threats should you lend your assistance
once more to resolve this dilemma I am
willing to offer a precious gift in
return at this juncture ceduo
deliberately paused to capture Conor's
attention indeed conard's gaze sharpened
instantly his Focus locked onto Gedo as
if seeking to penetrate the depths of
his thoughts this gift is none other
than the notes from The Apprentice of
the Academy of tranquil return Gedo
finally unveiled the truth his voice
tinged with Triumph This set of notes
would undoubtedly be an irresistible
Temptation for conard yet he was acutely
aware that he had no other recourse
otherwise he would not so easily
relinquish these notes what did you say
conard exclaimed springing from his seat
a flicker of shock and greed flashing in
his eyes he seized gedo's arm his voice
urgent do you truly possess that set of
notes Gedo nodded inwardly relieved that
his gamble had paid off judging by
Connor's reaction he was unable to
refuse such a Temptation This set of
notes was his bargaining chip to compel
Connor's intervention as long as conard
was willing to act the crisis facing the
ister civilization would have a glimmer
of hope should you dare deceive me do
you know my Methods at that point the
entire ister civilization would crumble
to dust because of you becoming the
heavy price for your deceit Conrad

inhaling deeply and fervently vowed I
swear every word I utter is the
unvarnished truth with not a single
