The situation is increasingly tense, even exceeding the previous tension. Because, this negotiation is the only determinant of the survival of all people who are there.
Elder Je's greeting never got a response from Zefier, making him even more nervous. In fact, negotiation is the most controlled field of socialization, and nervousness is one of the big causes of the failure of the negotiation itself.
Everyone was silent, silent. No one dared to move, even more so let out a sound. Their veins feel stiff like they're frozen in a snowy desert. Pale face, lips shaking, eyes glued to one goal.
"what's your name?" Zefier finally responded. "Are you the leader of this place?" Further.
"Je.... My name is Je. Although not as the first person, Bis-a said that I was one of the elders and the leader of this place. The first leader is him, sir...!" Elder Je pointed at elder Braham. He tried not to stutter while talking.
Zefier looked at Elder Braham, Seeing his condition, he realized why elder Je was facing. "I know your purpose.... Honestly, I'm a forgiving person, as long as you're not as late as the people there." Zefier pointed at the dozens of corpses that were split in two.
Elder Je understood very well the meaning of Zefier's words. Only, this attempt was a little late. He had thought about sending reports and asking for help from superiors. But think of it, however, it would be pointless if they were part of a corpse. Moreover, he was sure that no one would be able to deal with Zefier.
Zefier looked back at a symbol attached to a wall and designed very nicely. That was the reason why elder Je had waited long enough for his response.
"Chairman, Je... Isn't that the symbol of this country's money?" Zefier Tampa asked.
"Yes, sir...." Answer the Je elder.
"Could this be the headquarters of the financial ambassador?"
"Yes, sir...."
"Then, do you mind if I take all the treasures that are here in exchange for your lives...?" Zefier made a question that shocked everyone. Assuming Zepher's request, it would be death for them. Rejecting his request, even more hastening their demise. That really creates a dilemma.
"As long as you promise me one thing." Answer elder Je, steady.
"Hemmy! Apparently, you're not afraid to make a decision. Say...!" Zefier.
"I just want master to make me and elder Braham your loyal subordinates." Elder Je Tampa hesitated to make his choice.
Zefier was a little surprised to hear the request of elder Je. But back there, elder Braham looked even more surprised. He didn't think elder Je would say that. But after thinking, maybe this is the best way.
If you don't want to be tormented, being a subordinate of Zefier isn't a bad choice. They must have a sturdy protector if they have to face the superiors, later.
"All right.... I agree!" Zefier Tampa said. And again, this was indeed his initial goal, which was to seek as much power as possible. "Then, what about your subordinates, shouldn't they be your responsibility as well?" Ask further.
"Sorry, sir.... I feel, they are less worthy. But if you please, I won't dare to dispute it. Answer the Je elder.
"Then, then..." Zefier seemed to have thought of something. He then had a thought-provoking conversation with Flyn, of course only the two of them knew.
Flyn is not a human, nor an animal. He is not a creature, let alone a creature. Until now only Zefier knew what or who Flyn was.
"Ready, master...!" Flyn said, firmly.
After which, Flyn suddenly changed into a terrifying form. Long fangs, streaks of body patterned with fire, and sharp nails that come out from between the legs. Obviously, the current form of Flyn looks more like a tiger with a large size. But even more terrifyingly, the entire body was entirely made of red flames. It's just, there's no heat like before.
Flyn roared loudly, shaking the entire building. He stared intently at the entire subordinate who was still half left. His current position seemed like Ngin was chasing and pouncing.
Elder je and elder Braham shivered and trembled in fear. They had no idea what the fire tiger wanted to do. What was clear, if they just felt that way, let alone their subordinates.
"You...!" Once again, Flyn roared. Simultaneously, he dashed towards the subordinates.
Until the entire room was empty and left dozens of people, then Flyn returned to Zefier and changed to his original fire form.
"Masters...." Greet Flyn while kneeling.
"Great work...!" Praise Zefier to Flyn.
"Thank you, sir...." Reply Flyn.
"Regain.... Can't you use your human form?"
"Sorry, sir.... Makes you uncomfortable."
Flyn then transformed into the human form as before. His face was quite handsome and clean, and it looked radiant. Making anyone look at him, definitely will not be bored.
Zefier walked towards the subordinates of which only twelve people remained. "Congratulations! I appreciate your courage. It seems, you guys are indeed the ones I need." Praise Zefier, to them.
"We promise, we will always serve you wholeheartedly!" Speak the twelve subordinates, simultaneously.
On the other hand, Elder Je and elder Braham finally breathed a sigh of relief. They also praised the bravery of his subordinates that even they themselves were not sure could be like that either.
"All right.... Since you have officially declared yourself as my followers, today I am giving you your first assignment. But before that, was there a flying boat that could be used?" Ask Zefier.
"Just calm down, sir.... Places like this, of course, have the things you want. Come here, sir." Take Je's elder, to Zepher and follow other subordinates including Braham's elder.
Elder Je took Zefier to an airstrip. It looks like it's parked in some big boats. But Zefier's eyes were fixed on a boat. Unmistakably, it was a gigantic boat that he saw flying through the sky of the Xolfrods academy.
"We'll use that one..." Zefier's orders. " Remember all the precious things that exist and do not leave a single thing." Further.
"But, sir...." Elder Je's face looked doubtful as he wanted to say something.
"What's wrong?"
"The giant's collar actually just arrived a few days ago, and all the stuff there hasn't been moved at all, aka full." Answer the Je elder.
"Take out everything that's useless." Pinta Zefier, go.
"That's all the money we just brought in and it's going to be distributed gradually over the next few weeks."
"Hearing Je's elder's statement, Zefier jumped onto the giant boat. He wanted to check if there was a place that could still be used.
When he arrived on the boat, Zefier was quite astonished to see the amount of money that might not have finished counting for an entire week. Dozens of rooms appear to contain objects that become the main tool to make buying and selling transactions. Fine zel, small Zel, medium Zel and big Zel, all complete there.
Zefier continued down the giant boat that looked majestic. Moreover, the manufacturing material, seems to be made of the most high-grade wood. The smooth workmanship and beautiful size shape in various corners, making the boat very classy above the classy.
After walking around for quite a while, Zefier came back down.
"Use all the private rest rooms and leave some for us to use." Zefier's orders to Je's elders.
"Ready sir...." Answer elder Je, obediently.
Seriate....
