164. A Two-Person Deal

Reus's eyebrows are lifted when he gets a dueling challenge from the angry bald man while pointing at him.

   "You want to duel with me? With your level now?"

Reus was not immediately carried away by the emotion of seeing Bradley but just asked to make sure.

   "With my level now? So arrogant for someone in their 150s! I'm level 220, I'm stronger than you!"

   "What level can determine whether someone is strong or not?"

Bradley's eyebrows twitched in anger. He was eager to beat up Reus because his mouth was so sharp and arrogant to him, but before Bradley could move his uncomfortable aura began to feel and feel his back.

Cold sweat began to drip one after another before turning to Crystina who was looking at him sharply.

   "Bradley, sit. There's no need for unnecessary violence in this place."

   "But the chairman, he—"

   "Bradleys!"

Bradley wanted to say further but Crystina forbade it. He finally sat down while biting his lips and looked at Reus full of hatred.

   "I'm sorry about my men. He is an NPC who does not really understand about the concept of our level the players."

   "No problem, I understand. I also have some NPC contacts."

Reus smiled at Crystina not to mind his conflict with Bradley which almost erupted into a power struggle. He understood that for most NPCs, level was everything compared to status.

Crystina sighed in relief there was no bloody conflict today. He didn't want to make abnormal players like Reus his enemy, he wanted to make Reus as a subordinate or at least a co-worker.

In the one look and clash of his Dread Aura with the aura of Reus some time ago, Crystina could feel the power of Reus could not be measured using just levels. Crystina suspects that Reus is one of the rare abnormal players and she is not mistaken.

   "Well, back to the previous problem. Did Chief Crystina accept my offer? This sword can be yours as long as it is willing to fulfill my offer."

Reus stroked the Great Grega's field blade while smiling at Crystina.

Crystina smiled bitterly in response to Reus' words.

   "The sword is better than Griselga's Fang and belongs to one of the rare Ultra Equip, how can I refuse it? You're deliberately heating me up, aren't you?"

   "Yes, that's how it is."

Reus shrugged his shoulders before chuckling then followed by Crystina. He signed a piece of paper containing the agreement Reus had given him a moment before. This is necessary so that Crystina or its members do not do anything unwanted.

   "Okay, the deal's been signed. Please Great Grega."

After receiving the letter of agreement, Reus gave Great Grega to Crystina. The player nicknamed Crimson Surt was a little surprised when propping up the Great Grega's weight directly, not expecting this weapon to be heavier than he expected.

The Great Grega's Level Requirement was indeed around 240 but Crystina was above 300s level. There was no obstacle for him to directly use the sword after adjusting for a while.

   "Now can we discuss the plans I have?"

Reus smiled wryly at Crystina who was so overwhelmed by the form of Great Grega that was so majestic and fierce. Crystina only regained consciousness when Reus called out to her after a while.

As Crystina holds Xavier back, Reus will overcome other opponents who might interfere with their battle with Kynel and Dunk.

   "Reus, what about me?"

Ramsey showed a slightly sullen face yet to get a direct share so far.

   "Ah, take it easy Ramsey, you got the most fatal and exciting part."

Reus smiled widely accompanied by the enthusiasm of Ramsey who is now growing. Reus explains that Ramsey will go to the palace with Ikshan to retrieve Blackstar stored inside the treasure room underground.

Ikshan tried it but failed because there were several high-level Elite Knights attacking him suddenly, but Ikshan said he had fought back quite fiercely.

   "By the way, what level is this Ikshan you mean?"

   "I don't know for sure because I didn't ask or investigate it further, but I think it was about the 170s or 180s. Not much different from me."

Ramsey's countenance changed slightly, as did Crystina and Bradley who frowned quite violently. A player of level 170 or 180 could match a few Elite Knights who normally consisted of NPCs of level above 200? It makes less sense to them.

Despite not seeing Reus and Ikshan's abilities in real combat, being able to fight back against so many enemies above their own level already showed that the abilities of both of them were not something that could be underestimated.

Even Bradley who had been angry and challenged Reus now slightly regretted having done so. If Reus really had the ability to push back the Lavore Kingdom army single-handedly at his current level, then he would not be able to survive more than ten minutes of dueling against Reus.

Reus then explains to Crystina that Xavier is a one-handed sword wielder with a shield, his class according to the person himself is the Paladin of Light. Xavier also has a great Series Skill equipped attack containing Light element.

   "You know this as if you've already faced it."

   "Chairman, I did face him but it's a pity that I lost."

Reus smiled wryly recalling the experience, while Crystina and the others now looked at Reus like they were looking at a madman. How could a player of the 150s win against an NPC of his own double level? That fills their minds.

   "Oh, I also had time to give a pretty impactful attack for him at the last moment. If only he had not consumed a high-tier Potion to heal himself then his current strength was not as high as last time."

Reus remembered very well that NPCs were not like players. When an NPC is exposed to a wound that can cause permanent disability, the wound will remain unless the NPC consumes Potions or receives high-level healing magic.

Given the position of Xavier who was the leader of the Elite Knight Lavore Kingdom as well as the strongest person in the entire country, it was not too difficult for Xavier to get the best treatment to avoid death or just severe internal injuries.

   "Well, I'll try to hold Xavier in line with your orders. Ramsey will also act according to your direction."

   "Thank you, chief. Maybe Great Grega alone will not be enough to pay for it but if I get a good Equip from the soldiers, I can give it to develop the power of Crimson Castle further."

   "really? Then I expect high from you."

Reus and Crystina shook hands while smiling in satisfaction after ending the conversation between them.

Crystina directs an entourage that turns out to be members of Crimson Castle to return to Redgard so as not to create unnecessary trouble. He did not want the entire Crimson Castle to be involved in a war against this one country but only himself.

At first they refused the order but after Crystina took out the Dread Aura, they had no choice but to return to Redgard.

   "Alright, we will carry out the plan to destroy this rotten country within a few days after all the preparations are finished."

Reus smiled as widely as possible after saying so.
