Lord of War

Hela looked curiously at the room Sean arranged for her.

Originally, she thought that what was waiting for her would be a prison cell, but the result was completely different from what she had imagined.

This is a very clean room. The furnishings in the room are very simple, that is, common choices such as vases, desks, and oil paintings, but it can be clearly seen that they have been carefully adjusted and furnished, because the whole room looks There is a unique simplicity and atmosphere. But what really satisfied Hela wasn't these things, but that she could smell a faint fragrance in this room, which was a natural floral fragrance rather than a floral fragrance artificially blended by an alchemist.

Hela likes this natural floral smell very much, because it reminds her of her mother's gentleness.

There was a light knock on the door.

Haila came back to her senses and looked towards the door, but she didn't speak.

After a while, the door sounded again.

"Come in...please come in." Hela finally responded this time, but she finally remembered her situation after speaking habitually, so her words changed slightly.

It was none other than Sean who came in from the door.

With a faint smile on his face, he looked around for a while, then set his eyes on Hela, and said with a smile, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

"Very satisfied." Hela nodded generously, her eyes were very clear and calm, without the shame of being a prisoner or the arrogance that arose when she was treated preferentially.

Simple and clean.

"You said that if we can successfully leave Nugus Manor, then I am qualified to discuss the next step of cooperation with you, right?" Sean pulled out a chair, sat on it, and looked at the Hela in the middle of the room, "So now, can we talk about our cooperation?"

Hella frowned slightly.

To be honest, Hela's beauty is not outstanding, and her facial features would look pretty good if you look at them alone. But when organized together, it gives people a bland feeling, and it doesn't make people feel amazing. In Sean's words on Earth, it is the typical shame that you can never find in the ocean. to the type. But even so, Hela still has an aura that ordinary people don't have. After all, from the moment she became sensible, the skills she learned and mastered meant that she would never be ordinary in her life. Of course, another aspect is also related to her family background.

therefore,

When Hela's brows were slightly frowned, the coercive aura of the superior that was unique to her came out naturally.

It's just that this has no effect on Xiao En, he still looks at Hela with a smile.

A few seconds later, Hela, who finally realized that she had lost her composure, came back to her senses. Then he pulled out a chair and sat across from Sean. It's just that her behavior was different from that of ordinary people. She didn't have the slightest affectation or tweaking. She looked at Xiao En calmly and generously, and then said, "How about a cooperation method?"

"You are not the only survivor of the Garcia family." Sean said with a smile on his face.

Looking at Xiao En's smile, Hela felt that it was like a devil's smile. As smart as she is, of course she knows that Xiao En's words are actually a temptation, a trap to force her to give up the initiative of the negotiation, and she will definitely not give up the initiative of the negotiation under any other circumstances. But this time she couldn't help it. So after contemplating for a few seconds, Hela finally said, "How many survivors are there?"

"The Garcia family fell behind because of a political conspiracy back then, and there were three people who managed to escape the siege." Sean said calmly, "Two of them are your uncles, and the other It was the strong man hired by the Garcia family at that time... But I guess you are definitely not interested in that strong man."

There was a mockery in Hella's eyes.

The so-called strong is nothing more than low-level or high-level gold. If the Garcia family had a sanctuary strong, they would not have become scapegoats because of that political conspiracy back then. So a pure gold-level powerhouse. Hela is really not in the eyes of Hela. After all, with her current status—of course, that was before she was captured alive by Sean—let alone a gold-level powerhouse, she is a sanctuary-level powerhouse. All are qualified to command.

"But in fact, without that strong man, let alone your two uncles, even your mother wouldn't be able to escape." Sean had known that Hela would show such an expression, so his tone There is also a hint of contempt in it. This subtle pleasure of slapping the face made Sean feel very happy, "I have some clues about the strong man right now. He went back to save your two mothers after making sure your mother escaped successfully. Uncle. Of course, I'm not sure about the final result."

"You mean..." Hila's eyes flashed with excitement, "As long as you find that person, you can find the survivors of the Garcia family?"

"I'm not sure, but this is indeed a clue." Sean smiled slightly.

"What do you want me to do?" After getting excited, Hela quickly calmed down. Of course, she knew that Sean would not say this for no reason, so she who had lost the initiative to negotiate might as well be more straightforward and directly Hearing what Sean intends to ask her to do is better than her haggling with him without knowing the bottom line of Sean.

"I said, it's cooperation." Sean smiled slightly.

"The definition of cooperation is very broad." Hela said in a deep voice, "I don't know what kind of cooperation you are referring to."

"I need a subordinate like you."

"Is there any difference between this and asking me to surrender to you?" Hela sneered.

"Of course." Sean nodded seriously, "surrender to me, which means that you can only obey my orders. But what I need is not a puppet who can only obey orders, what I need is Your talent, your use of means that almost drove me to a dead end, your layout ability that is far beyond ordinary people... And I will not simply treat you as a subordinate, I will restore your reputation, and even Let you re-establish the Garcia family... If you must talk about the essential meaning, then it is probably that we are in an equal relationship, not a subordinate relationship."

Listening to Xiao En's words, Hela fell into deep contemplation. She boasted that she had seen countless people, and she only needed to have a simple conversation with the other party to be able to tell whether the other party's words were true. And based on her observation, she could see that Xiao En's words were certainly not just to fool her. Instead, he was talking to her very seriously, which made Hela a little surprised. Why is there such a nobleman in this world?

"Did you and William say the same thing?"

"Facing William, I want to be simple and rough." Hearing Hela's question, Sean couldn't help but think of the first time he met William. "I said something to him."

"Simple and rude?" Hela was taken aback, "What are you talking about?"

"I need you."

Hearing Sean say this so bluntly. After being stunned for a few seconds, Hela finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "Sure enough, it's simple and rude enough!...You use this sentence to make William follow you from now on?"

"Trust takes time to build." Sean shrugged. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this sentence at all. He remembered that when he was in the game, the president of his guild often said this sentence to people. . Then many people will always be fooled by him to board the thief ship, "I will hand over all the military authority of the entire territory to him, and never interfere with any of his actions, because I don't think it is necessary, and I also believe that he can do it." Well that's all. . . . This is the trust that William and I have built up with each other."

Hearing Xiao En's words, Hela's eyes became a little more strange.

In her impression, all she has learned since she was a child is intrigue. Because even relatives in the family are enemies to her. And kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, so from the moment she was sensible, she has never experienced what is called family affection, even when facing her own father, her only impression is still the score in the family System—Only by getting higher scores can you survive. Then stand at the highest point of the entire family and have more authority.

Therefore, Hila has never had such a thing as trust.

Or maybe there is, but that's because others trust her, not her trusting others.

There is an essential gap between the two.

"What do you need me to do?" Hela was silent for a moment before speaking.

"I've said it before. What I need is not a puppet who can only obey orders." Sean said softly, "With your intelligence, you will definitely be able to find a suitable position for you in my team.... As I said, Trust takes time to build. But I don't mind building trust in you from this moment on, so if you want to go out and walk, or go to the conference room to sit in on the meeting and look at the strategic plan for this time, you won't Someone stopped you."

Hela suddenly fell into silence, and did not respond to Xiao En's words.

But Sean didn't mind, he stood up very politely, then performed a noble etiquette to Hela, and said again: "As for your identity, Neil will send someone over to check with you soon , from this moment on, you can officially abandon the surname of Nugus and restore the surname of Garcia... But because it is currently in a war period, I hope you can stay in this mansion, even if you are here Even if the strong in the sanctuary forcefully barge in, they will definitely not be able to hurt you."

"I seem to understand why you don't pay attention to the strong in the sanctuary." Hela suddenly laughed, as if she had caught some secret.

"The matter is actually a little bit complicated. I'll explain it to you later when I have a chance." Sean knew that Hela must have misunderstood, but he didn't know where to start when he wanted to explain, and This matter also involves the interests of many other parties, so Xiao En feels that it is better not to make it too clear for the time being.

"As a first step in building trust with each other, I feel the need to tell you something."

"What's up?"

"Just before you raided Nugus Manor, I just issued an order to let the mage group of Berbice Land secretly reinforce Jedby Land through the Forest of Gray Shadows." Hela said, "And, about I have also slightly adjusted the defensive strength of Berbice and Chirav, but it is actually a trap, if you attack rashly, you will only suffer heavy losses."

"You mean, you let the mage group go to the Forest of Gray Shadows to send reinforcements to Jedbyland?"

"Yes." Hela nodded, "So I want to tell you now that your army in Jedby will be very dangerous."

"If you want to pass through the Forest of Gray Shadows, then I don't think I need to worry." Sean smiled, "The Forest of Gray Shadows has an underground black market for demon hunters, and I have beaten them a long time ago. When I got down, I also snatched the things of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance from there, so in fact, I have already prepared an ambush there and waited for you to send people to the Forest of Gray Shadows."

"According to my understanding, the situation in the Forest of Gray Shadows is a bit complicated, and the force of the army I ordered to be dispatched is not weaker than ordinary troops, and with the assistance of the Mage Corps, I am afraid that the combat power is not much weaker than that of the Fourth Legion. Hela frowned slightly, feeling a little incomprehensible to Xiao En's pride, "So purely in terms of combat power, I don't think you have any troops that can stop the advance of this army."

"What if it's five thousand thunderbolts?" Sean smiled.

This time, Hela could finally understand where Sean's sense of pride and superiority lies. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)

PS: I know that my update last month was really ineffective, so it is normal for some people to distrust me. After all, in this era of talking about performance, if you have no performance, you will naturally have no right to speak. But for some friends who are brainless and hack me, I just want to say, please click to check the update list, please? Why do you have the face to say that only one chapter is updated in two days? Also, at the starting point, 3K words in a single chapter is already a kind of common sense. I said that two chapters or 5K words are guaranteed every day. K, I can only laugh at this.
