"Lord Snow, Please let us discuss this!" The elderly man yelled as Lilith qi began to intensify. Devouring all those who felt her power with fear.
"Fine, Fine but be quick; this is my place of business after all," I exclaimed, feeling Lilith's aura begin to fade.
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Alfred, and this is Kara. Furthermore, we are from the House of Valise, a division of the Vanir Clan," He said, covered in a cold sweat that trickled down his robes.
Nodding in understanding, I didn't show much expression, "What is this about Lord Alfred?" I questioned, already knowing what must be done.
"We want you to join us. We are willing to supply you with a large number of resources. Especially when your boss was found with Lady Freya and The Triskter himself, Loki. "
"My boss's name is Lilith," I coldly said, masking my smile.
"Apologies, but it's as we said. We wish for you to join us....for a cost." Alfred muttered while Kara clenched her teeth.
"A cost?" I questioned once more, amused at what I was hearing.
"Yes, we would like..."
"I know what you want, but surely you realize giving you such things would be foolish. How about this? I will join you and do direct business with the Vanirs and choose not to give any business to the Aesir clan. How is that?"
"but that's..."
"Be silent, Kara." Alfred shouted in agitation, nodding towards me with a smile, " Agreed, but how much would you ask for?"
"Depends who you are." I commented, "I have more money than I can use, so it could be resources, weapons, or favors."
"Then there may be some issues," Kara suddenly said as Alfred sent her a stern look. "We operate differently from others. Due to the blessing of Fertility by many of the Vanir gods, we are one of the largest clans to exist. Competition is king; if you join us, there may be a chance of you getting bullied. I will not be surprised if someone robs you!"
Opening my mouth, I pointed to myself in confusion, "I... Me? You expect me to get bullied?" I asked in a baffled expression.
"Lord Snow, while we can keep you from getting killed, we have no way of stopping those from robbing or being bullied. Many will try to cripple you or worse."
Roaring out in laughter, tears began to run from my eyes as I stared out at the duo staring at me in confusion. "I have no equals in my level, bully me? Are you mad? By the Fucking NInes, this may be the funniest shit I have ever heard."
"Lord Snow, this is—"
"AHAHAHAA" Laughing my ass off, I felt my stomach cramping as I begged them to stop. "AHAHAHA "
Turning a little red with humiliation or anger, I slowly began to calm down, "Fuck, that was a good one. AHHAHAAH, Bully me? HAHAHA, God-Sama, did you hear that? They wish to bully me."
"Arsene, even if you can kill those in the gate of Truth, our clan is filled with millions of those far above the Gate of truth. We possess millions within the States of Nascent souls, all the way to Dao Serving. We are at the peak in cultivation...."
"yet how many are at the stages of World?" I coldly asked, cutting off Alfred, thinking of an army of World Gods at my disposal. "How many can break through to the realm of World. Let's exclude the Elves and other purebloods for a moment; how many humans enter the Realm of World but are stuck at World King?"
Noticing the shiver Kara had, I smirked, "You will not have to worry about me being bullied, but whether your clan will rule over the Nine Realms. Why do you think many are here? Have you looked into crossroads? Till now, aside from a few sick desires, I have been granting manny request."
Narrowing her eyes, I could see a hint of Greed within Kara's and Alfred's eyes as I smiled like a demon upon their shoulder, "I don't know your cultivations, but I can say I can give you the talent to be a world God or higher. I can make a breakthrough within a few days."
"And what would you ask—"
"No, my dear, that's not how it works. I will take what I want while you get what you want."
Frowning, Kara gritted her teeth, "And if you want my body?"
Snorting, a hint of annoyance filled my eyes as I sneered, "What of it? Are you some holy being? So high above having sex? From what I can see, you have a pussy like many others, but it's up to you. Think of it as a gamble. I could ask for your virginity, your left eye, your anything, but in return, you breakthrough into a higher level."
"You're sick—"
"my dear, I have no interest in you. Aside from your face, you are quite annoying. If you don't want to deal, I am sure there will be billions to take me up on my offer. They will bear their desires towards me, and I will take what they have to offer. You just have more talent than most—your nothing special within my eyes.
Glaring venomous daggers into my skull. A gleam of hate could be seen as her fingers curled into a fist. Watching her body tremble, a light smile arose upon my face.
"Like favors," Alphrid said as my smile began to deepen,
"Correct, favors are my bread and butter, but do you, dear? Do you dare wish to gamble with me?" I asked, ignoring the hateful glint within kara's gaze.
"And if we cannot fulfill our end?" Alfred asked in a measured manner, not letting his greed get ahead of him.
"The contracts are designed to always succeed, but should you fail. I will take something else."
"You will?" Kara asked in confusion.
Smiling, a hint of malice filled my lips, "Yes, I, not Lilith, nor Ezra, or any other member of Vaevictis. Only I."
Laughing, I could see a deep trace of disdain from Alfred as he thought nothing from my cultivation, and he should not. But my contracts at those stages are not fueled by me but the Nines. It bends all of reality to give you your wish. Million could die just so someone could get rich, or some opportunity that should not exist happens to give you the girl of your dreams. The Nines will fulfill such a request at a price.
"Then I will welcome you to the Vanir Clan Lord Snow to officially be accepted. However, we will ask you to visit us for it to be official." Alfred said joyfully.
Pondering for a moment, I spoke, "How far is the Isle of Yur'druol form from your sect?" I asked in a chilling manner.
"Now, this is a coincidence," Kara said in a hint of surprise.
"I am sure it is," I whispered, looking upwards towards the heavens.
"We have an expedition there within nine months. It should take about ten years to reach there from your position and five from our position."
Opening my eyes wide, I gasp in shock, "How fucking large is Midgard?"
