Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 939: A Deal

"On this point, I think that Lord has already made his choice." The big businessman, Yodi, smiled. He had a signature gesture. When his heart was at ease, he would gently touch his moustache. Yodi said with a beard, "Earlier, I heard that this lord took care of Geller's son in the academy, but after Geller went there, he did a good job. This lord did not make things difficult for Geller and let his son go easily. I guess this lord did not want to offend you too much, Lord Wyvert, who is behind Geller."

Bankin snorted and said, "That would be best. No matter what we do, it's all for the sake of the Light. It's only worthwhile to give this territory to a little ghost like Oz, or to let Lord Weaver preside over it."

Wyft laughed dryly, "But this lord is not simple either. You see, after he returned to the city, there was no movement. No one knows what he was planning to do when he drilled into the city lord's mansion. No, this lord didn't say anything. Instead, it was even more shocking. Those old fellows didn't dare to drill into me because they couldn't figure out what lord's intentions were."

"Lord Weaver, what do you think Lord Alan is up to?" Yodi asked.

Wyft turned around twice and said, "It's not hard to guess that this lord is trying to maximize his interest." You know, he made the rest of them pee in fright. Only the two of you dare to openly stand up for me, which makes me lose my mind. First of all, in terms of momentum, we are incomparably weak. When the time comes for a showdown, that lord will naturally have the upper hand. "

Youdi's expression was one of worry.

Wyft waved his hand and said, "No problem, as long as I sit in the position of Lord." If he took it out now, he would be able to earn it back in the future. Humans, you have to look at the long term. Since you've already come, it's fine if you've already expressed your stance. Go back. It's not a good thing for the City Lord's Mansion to know that you've stayed here for too long. "We need to take care of the discretion in this. It will be in our best interests."

The two of them exchanged glances and stood up to say goodbye. After they had left, the smile on Wyft's face slowly disappeared. He walked to the fireplace and reached out to bake the fire. "Now is not the time to be happy," he muttered to himself. "If the lord were to gather us today, there would be room for manoeuvre. If there was no movement today, something really would have happened. Sigh, it would be great if he could wait for spring to come back … Time, time … "

Undercurrents surged in Fenrir City, but the City Lord's Mansion was unexpectedly quiet. But the more Ellen didn't say anything, the more uneasy it would be for some people to burn their buttocks every minute. Ellen sat comfortably, holding the briefing Caylor had handed over, while the Dark Blade members, who had transformed into maids, listened to her explanation.

From the briefing and Kaylie's explanation, the crux of the problem in Fenrir City was pointed at one person, Wyft. The old man was Duruf's uncle, a powerful figure in Fenrir City. However, he didn't get along well with Duruf, and even threatened to kill him several times. Therefore, before Duruf's death, this person was very low-key. Even after Duruf's death, when Fenrir City was in chaos, this person did not stand out to turn the tide and only chose to watch coldly. Hence, the last time Allen forced Fenrir City, and even the last time he entered the city, he had never heard of Wyft.

It wasn't until Fenrir City settled down and Oz replaced Duruf as the Lord of the Light Territory that Wyft reappeared in the crowd's line of sight. This person's wrist was also considered smart. He was not in a hurry to fight for power with the younger generation of Oz when he returned to the stage. Instead, he generously lost part of his family's wealth to finance the municipal renovation of Fenrir City, thus winning such a great reputation. Only then did they begin to approach the various high-ranking officials of Fenrir City. Those who could be bought would be bought. Those who could not be bought would be crowded out by various means, and then filled in with their own people.

Wyft's actions were like a wolf swimming around a sheepfold. He was not in a hurry to pounce into the sheepfold and eat Oz, the little fat sheep, but instead surrounded the sheepfold and killed the sheepdogs. In the end, he decided to block the fence so that he could pounce into the sheep pen and kill everyone in all directions.

Among the names that Caylor had drawn up that were excluded by Wyft was the city guard captain Jeff, who had been very loyal to Oz that day. Now, these people were either helpless or forced to leave Fenrir City's circle of power. The current Oz was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. If Alan came later, this little fellow would be afraid of being completely devoured by others, and his bones would not be left.

Putting down the briefing, Ellen frowned and said, "Don't Edward know about the changes in Fenrir City?"

"Sir Edward is aware that there is a fixed amount of information sent to Sir Fenrir every month."

"So, Edward has no intention of interfering in Fenrir?"

Kayli shook her head and said, "It can't be said that there aren't any. In fact, if it weren't for our Dark Blade, several of the people who were excluded by Wyft would have been assassinated by Wyft."

"Assassination?" Alan pulled his finger. "Who are they?"

"First is Captain Jeff, then there are these …" Kayli pointed at the few people on the list.

There weren't many people, but all four of them held more important positions. '"Lord Edward didn't interfere too much, but it seems from the instructions he gave back that Lord Edward wanted to catch this big fish in one go. But last week, he gave a new order …" Kaylie added.

"What instructions?"

Kaylie lowered her head and said, "He said the fisherman is here. There's nothing else for him here."

Ellen laughed and scolded, "This guy will lighten his burden. Since you saved these people, you should know where they are now, right?"

The maid nodded.

"Bring them here to see me. Remember to hide."

"This subordinate knows."

After Cayley left, Lucy asked, "What are you going to do with Wyft?"

"This is a cunning old man." Alan shook his head and said, "You just heard that Wyft had already left the power circle of Finlier City before Duruff died. Even when we were at the gates of the city, we didn't see him exert any strength. But now that Finlier City is settled, he jumped out to fight for power. He clearly saw that the Light Territory has a lot to do."

"There's more to it than that. It's simply a bright future." Lucy smiled and said, "Let's not talk about the farming that the Light Territory is supporting. Just the light of glory will bring about an incomparably bright future for this territory." Of course, only if you, Lord Alan, can keep advancing. It's not hard to imagine how many people will surge into Glory Light as your influence grows. Just these people's tariffs were not a small fortune. Not to mention the other business opportunities brought about by the increase in population, this Wyft is clearly trying to squeeze out Little Oz in order to get enough money. "

"Sly old fox." Allen smiled and said, "I believe Edward has set it up long ago. With his temperament, he wants to stew Wyvert in warm water." Edward was good at layout. You see, Rackett's Mountain City is an example. His tricks are actually not bad. At the very least, getting rid of Wyft won't cause too much turmoil in Fenrir City. But the drawbacks are obvious. Wyft will lose bafflingly, but for others, this is too weak. "

"There's no guarantee that there won't be a second Wyft. Even if there isn't one now, there will be one in the future. The reason isn't me, but Oz. As long as they feel Oz isn't tough enough, there will be a second Wyft, or even a third or fourth."

Allen stood up and said, "It's not enough to get rid of Wyft once and for all. And how to get rid of it is also important. On the way back, I told Oz that I wanted him to come out and be a villain this time. This villain was made for those who wanted to see him. To be a good lord was to put it bluntly, it was nothing more than a combination of kindness and might. As for the gifts, they had already been sent out long ago. "Now is the time for our little Oz to show his might."

He walked towards the gate.

"You want to find Little Oz?"

"No, I'll talk to Little Oz when Kaylie brings her here." Alan blinked and said, "Now, I'm going to see our Highness Lily. I hope she wants me to save a woman, Rou Gunaga …"

"Scram." Lucy rolled her eyes and pointed out the door.

"Yes, sir." Alan bowed solemnly and left with a smile.

Knocking on Lily's door was a door opened by a Green Dragon Knight. The knight nodded and turned to let Alan enter the room. In the hall of the room, Lily sat cross-legged, holding a large plate in her hand. She was constantly throwing the melons and fruits into her mouth, and it didn't look good to eat.

"You're here." Lily ate a few blackberries in three or two bites and tilted her head to look at Allen. "You look much better this time," she said. "Looks like you've broken through the Origin Energy restriction?"

"It was just a fluke." Alan smiled.

"I'm really lucky." Lily put down the fruit tray and jumped to the ground to hook her fingers. "Follow me. She won't be able to last long."

"Who is she?" Alan followed behind her and asked casually.

"That's not your concern," Lily said coldly. "You just need to change her for me and let her live. Then I'll give you the five Green Dragon Knight and our deal will be completed."

Her Highness Princess was not surprised by Alan's indifference. The Naga Clan had never had a good impression of humans, and Lily's reaction was perfectly reasonable. He thought so. This slave transformation was just a transaction with Lily. Who was the other party? What did it have to do with him?

Lily stopped at a door and knocked softly, "Here he comes."

Inside, a woman's voice said calmly, "Come in."

Lily nodded and gave Ellen a push, "Hurry up and go in. Don't tell me I didn't warn you. If you dare to do anything other than save someone, I'll destroy the city!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Listen to His Highness." Ellen said deliberately.

Lily gritted her teeth so hard that she wished she could bite this damn thing.
