"Lord, Old Mara is still crying and begging outside, saying that he is willing to give up half of the family's assets to beg for your forgiveness, hoping to redeem Kailuoer." Hunter, the leader of the Headwind Mercenary Group that merged into the Armadillo organization, came to the hall.
, report to Renn.
Ren waved his hand: "I told you, this is not a business!"
"Then I ask him to leave?"
"Go for it!"
"Yes!" Hunter took the order and went out to deliver the message.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you let him go, right?" Charlotte, who was sitting next to him after Hunter left, whispered, "It's useless to take him back and lock him up, and it's a waste of food. Ask him to pay more, you need a lot anyway.
gold……"
"I need a lot of gold coins, but sometimes gold coins are not the most important thing." Ren said to her, "They must know that what I say is true, and the remaining people will obediently pay the ransom! As for the matter of Kailuoer,
We’ll talk about it later. As long as he’s still in my hands, the money won’t go away.”
Charlotte suddenly realized that in fact, Ren was using Old Mara to manipulate other representatives and let them know the consequences of not cooperating. When this matter is over and everyone has forgotten about it, they can decide whether to privately discuss it at any time based on Kairol's performance.
Contact Lao Mara and we can renegotiate the ransom price at that time.
The main fault is that Lao Mara couldn't figure out the situation. This is not a shopping mall.
After Lao Mara was killed by Ren as a warning to the monkeys, the other family representatives stopped talking nonsense and hurried back to prepare funds.
Here we are waiting for the major families to send money, and while they are chatting, Hunter, who just went out to drive away Old Mara, comes back and reports to Ren: "Lord, the representative of the Thieves Guild is back again!"
"The ransom was collected so quickly?"
"No!" Hunter shook his head, "The other party wants to meet you privately one-on-one."
"Meeting one-on-one in private? Isn't it to scare away the others and try to harm you?" Carla couldn't help but interrupt, "The Thieves Guild has always had a bad reputation!"
"No!" Kristine said next to him, "Claude is the most important figure in the Thieves Guild. Now he is in the hands of Ren, not to mention Camelback City is also under control. At this time, he will do anything detrimental to Ren.
, it’s all self-destruction!”
"That's right!" Taylor next to him nodded in agreement, "And the Thieves Guild is generally more restrained when there is no entrusted task. The most important thing is that even if he wants to do something, with our strength, there is no chance!"
Renn is not worried about this. He himself is at level 10 and has the invincible skills of a paladin. Not to mention that the Thieves Guild does not dare to do so. Even if he really has such thoughts, it will be his own destruction.
So he nodded: "Everyone, wait a moment, I will go to the side hall to check the situation."
Renn went to the quiet side hall alone. Hunter went out to send a message and invited the Thieves Guild representative to the side hall.
The patrols outside were also dismissed. The Thieves Guild representative checked carefully before coming in to make sure there were no problems. Then he came to Ren and saluted respectfully: "Lord, thank you for agreeing to meet alone!"
"Your Thieves Guild collects money to do things, and is hired by others to try to break into the World of Warcraft City. I can understand this!" Renn said with a smile, "But since Claude has become a prisoner, he must pay enough gold coins to redeem him. Level 7
Masters are also quite scarce in your guild!"
"In fact, Claude is the only seventh-level strongman in our guild!" the guild representative said quickly, "We are willing to pay the price, but there has been a problem with the guild's capital chain recently, and it is difficult to raise so many gold coins in a short period of time.
"
"Not enough gold coins? You are thieves anyway, you can steal or rob whatever you want."
"It's too late!"
"so what?"
"Can you give us a chance to pay the ransom through other means?"
"You tell me, I'll listen!" Ren crossed his legs and shook them gently.
The representative of the Thieves Guild whispered: "What our president means is that you please release Lord Claude first, and the ransom will be used as the cost of hiring him. At Lord Claude's charging standard, you can let him perform a hundred
This is the most difficult task. Before paying off the ransom, Lord Claude will temporarily listen to your call. What do you think of this payment method?"
Renn laughed when he heard this and said: "There are rumors outside that I am a subordinate of the Demon King. Isn't the Thieves Guild afraid of getting into trouble by doing this?"
The representative of the Thieves Guild immediately responded: "Our guild has a bad reputation, not to mention that the Lord is not a subordinate of the Demon King. This misunderstanding will be solved sooner or later. Besides, God knows this matter, you know it and I know it. As long as the Lord does not spread it everywhere, who will
Will you know that Master Crowder will do anything for you again?"
"Oh? Your thieves guild doesn't believe the rumors outside?"
"Actually, our guild has its own advantages in intelligence collection." The Thieves Guild representative answered honestly, "Based on the intelligence we have, it can be inferred that you have no contact with the resurrected Demon King at all. Of course, it is also possible that our intelligence is not in place, but we would rather
Let’s take a gamble. I wonder if the lord is willing to give us this opportunity? A seventh-level thief can give you conveniences you can’t imagine!”
"That's true," Ren nodded and admitted, "Having a seventh-level thief can not only easily obtain all kinds of information, but also easily seize the enemy's treasures and even conduct assassinations. I have to say, this proposal makes me excited! The problem is,
Can Rhodes agree?"
"Please rest assured! Lord Crowder will agree, as long as you can arrange for me to meet with him in private."
Ren thought carefully, weighed the pros and cons, and finally agreed: "Okay! As long as you can convince Claude, I can accept this payment method!"
"Thank you, Lord!" The Thieves Guild representative breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully replied, "I will never let you down."
After the two parties reached an agreement, Renn sent someone to take Claude to a side hall and let him talk to the Thieves Guild representative alone.
After some persuasion, Crowder finally agreed, saying that he could pay the ransom on his own in this way.
Renn was very happy and personally unlocked his imprisonment and signed a secret contract with the representative of the Thieves Guild. Before Claude paid the ransom, he would temporarily stay with him and wait for calls. The premise was that he could not appear in public and reveal his identity.
This is not a problem, as long as Claude dresses up a little and pretends to be someone else, there will be no problem.
Renn didn't even let the people around him know, lest anyone talk too much and leak the news.
After reaching an agreement, it was announced that the Thieves Guild had paid props of the same value as the ransom and released Claude as agreed.
In fact, Claude put on a disguise and hid directly. As long as Ren gave a signal, he would come over.
Xizi, Ice Queen and all the eighth to ninth level monsters around Renn can sense the existence of Claude. After all, their levels are crushed, but they are all Renn's magic pets, so there is no problem.
