Chapter 2078 - Let's Barter
As members of the community of Perseus attacked the "no-name" community, Shiroyasha was talking with the leader of the community of Perseus, Laius Perseus.
However, from Shiroyasha's expression, their conversation was simply unpleasant.
Laius didn't feel good, especially when his subordinates that he had sent to retrieve Leticia hadn't returned, which made him suspicious that Shiroyasha might have something to do with this.
There was no way that Shiroyasha admitted that he had done something to Laius's subordinate, but inwardly, she snickered and smiled happily that something had happened to Laius.
Neither of them backed down until Shiroyasha heard from her subordinate that Haru and his group came, so she didn't hesitate to tell them to come. "Tell them to come."
Laius frowned, but he didn't say anything. His expression was quite impatient until he was dumbfounded when he saw Haru pulling all of his subordinates like a group of slaves that were about to be sold.
"You're the leader of the community Perseus, right? I have heard from your subordinates that you have ordered them to attack our community. Can I believe that you want to declare war against our community?" Haru asked as he put pressure on Laius.
"!!!" Laius wanted to run away as soon as possible at this moment, but...
"Stop! Stop! Let's talk first!" Shiroyasha quickly said since she was afraid that a war might really happen on her headquarters out of all places.
When the pressure from Haru disappeared, he smiled gently and said, "That's true. Let's talk."
"...."
Still, as they sat down, Laius also regained his calm, and he quickly thought about what had happened before he looked at Haru and said, "Do you know what you're doing? Do you think that you can get away with this?"
"What do you mean?" Kuro Usagi didn't have a good opinion of Laius and directly asked with a frown.
If it was before, Laius would focus all of his attention on the girls, but with Haru, who didn't wear his mask, everyone would be attracted by him, and it was as if his existence eclipsed everyone.
"Do you think you can frame us as fake members? You just want to steal my good, right?" Laius snorted, then looked at Shiroyasha. "Shiroyasha, was that all you were doing? Do you want to frame my community and get my
Shiroyasha couldn't answer anything since she knew that Laius wouldn't believe what she was going to say. After all, who would believe what had happened today was caused by the "no-name" community.
"Oh? So you're saying that these people aren't members of your community?" Haru asked.
"Yes." Laius nodded and said, "So can you return my good back now? Or should I believe that this is what Thousand Eyes do by stealing my good forcefully?"
"You...!" Kuro Usagi wanted to get angry again, but Haru quickly reminded her. "Kuro Usagi, did not remember what I have told you before?"
Kuro Usagi wanted to say something, but she nodded and followed Haru's words, staring hatefully at Laius.
"Let's be civilized here. I'm helping you get your good back, but will your people come and initiate an attack on our community? But you're saying that these people aren't members of your community, even though they have this head of Gorgon?" Haru asked.
"So you have stolen that from my community? How would you be responsible for that? Also, those people aren't members of my community, so you won't get anything from me, even if you try to blackmail me." Laius stared at Leticia then looked at Haru. "You should also return that vampire to me since she's my thing."
Kuro Usagi wanted to get angry, but she remembered Haru's words and kept silent at that moment. Still, she felt empathetic toward the members of Perseus that had come and attacked her community since she knew that they had been abandoned.
The members of Perseus were bowing their heads in shame since they had been captured by the "no-name" community, and their gifts were all taken by them, but they couldn't do anything. Still, when they saw Laius, they gained their hopes again, but they didn't expect that they were being abandoned directly by Laius, which made them disappointed and hate Laius.
"Sure, I'll give Leticia back since it is yours," Haru said.
"........" Everyone.
"However, are you sure that this Gorgon head is from your community? If so, then the Perseus community is just a weakling since the "no-name" community can easily steal something so precious from your organization," Haru said calmly.
Laius's expression was ugly, then he said, "Well, it seems that I have made a mistake since your replica is so good." He knew that as long as he didn't admit it, then he was innocent. He knew how troublesome his situation was right now since all of his people were caught. 'Those bastards!' If his people weren't caught, then it would be great. Unfortunately, there was no "if"...
Shiroyasha couldn't help but laugh at this moment, but she didn't disrupt their conversation. Still, she also knew that her position wasn't good since she was the one who had helped Leticia to go back, and this wasn't good for her and her community since this might cause a crack in her alliances. Worst case scenario, all of the communities that were related to her community might have fought her and caused chaos on the East Side, and that was the only thing that she couldn't do.
"Let's set the matter of Gorgon aside. I heard that you've canceled Leticia's Gift Game, is that right?" Haru asked.
"Yes, of course, I have found a good buyer outside of the Little Garden," Laius said proudly while trying to taunt Haru.
Unfortunately, Haru's expression was calm, and he asked, "If I ask you to cancel this transaction, can you do that?"
"Ha? Why should I do that? She's my thing, and I can do what I want with her," Laius said with a snort.
They were furious at this moment, thinking that the man in front of them was trash, but looking at Haru, who was still calm, they didn't intend to cause trouble, and they had promised not to cause anything to be emotional.
"Are you sure?" Haru asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure with that," Laius said without hesitation.
"What if you cancel that transaction? In exchange, we'll buy her from you, can you?" Haru asked.
"....." Everyone looked at Haru in a daze, wondering where he had gotten money to buy Leticia since she wasn't cheap.
"Buy her? Do you have money?" Laius asked with disdain since he knew that they were just a "no-name" community, so there was no way that they had money.
"We have." Haru nodded confidently.
"....." Everyone.
Everyone was in a daze, but Laius frowned and said, "No, I won't sell her to you."
"Why?" Haru asked.
"Because I don't like you," Laius said with a smile. He didn't really like Haru since this guy was more handsome than him, and he felt a threat from him too, so it was so fun when he could annoy him.
"Bastard!"
The girls couldn't contain their emotions again when they heard Laius's words.
"Calm down," Haru said calmly.
"But Haru...!"
"Try to believe me, alright?" Haru said as he looked at everyone.
Staring at him for a moment, they nodded and decided to believe in him.
"Well, it can't be helped if you reject us, so what if we barter," Haru said.
"Barter?"
"In exchange for these people, why don't you give us Leticia?" Haru asked as he looked at the members of the community Perseus that he had caught.
"What?" Not only Laius, who was dumbfounded but all of the people here were dumbfounded.
"They might not be members of your community, but since they have invaded our community, they need to be punished, so I have decided to sell them as slaves on the market." Haru looked at the members of the community Perseus who looked at him in fear. "So, in exchange for those innocent people, can you give Leticia to us?"
Everyone got a shudder when they looked at Haru.
Haru's words had a lot of meaning, but one thing for sure, he provoked Laius, asking him which was important Leticia, or the members of his community.
Laius clenched his fists and looked at Haru angrily since his community's dignity was trampled by Haru. His face was ugly, but he said, "I don't know them. Why should I exchange this vampire with them? Hurry up and give me back that vampire, or should I just wreck this place apart?" He then held the pendant to his neck, threatening everyone here.
Haru stared at Laius and said, "You know, we can talk peacefully and act as if nothing happened."
"Ha? Aren't you the one who is threatening me? You're just a "no-name" community! You should know your place!" Laius shouted.
They were so furious at this moment and wanted to kick the bastard, but...
"Leticia, go back to your owner," Haru said as he looked at Leticia.
Leticia looked at Haru for a moment, then nodded. "Yes." She then walked obediently toward Laius, which made him smile happily.
"Let's go back. Don't you ever dare to run away again, or else, I will just throw you out the outside of the Little Garden," Laius said threateningly.
Leticia didn't say anything and didn't care about Laius's words.
Just when Laius was about to go back...
"Hey, let me remind you of something before you go back," Haru said.
"What?" Laius looked at Haru proudly.
"Don't regret your choice, alright?" Haru said with a blank expression.
"......"
Laius felt that he was facing an ocean, and if he stared at him any longer, he would drown, so he looked away with a snort. "Hmph! Hurry up and go!" He walked away, ignoring everyone's gaze on him.
"By the way, I'll send you an invitation when I decide to sell those innocent people as slaves. You might be interested in buying them in the future, after all," Haru said.
Hearing Haru's words, Laius almost staggered, and he clenched his fists tightly before walking away again. He knew that Haru could be unscrupulous because of Shiroyasha's backing. 'Let's see if you can show that smile when you have lost your backing.' He knew that he couldn't touch the "no-name" community now, but what about in the future?
'Let's see how you're going to beg.'
