The elder behind Hayes cocked an eyebrow. He said, “Those two gold mines are worth at least 500 billion Florian dollars. How much are you willing to pay for them?”
With an appropriate price, it was not completely unnegotiable.
Hearing this, Isaac raised a finger.
Hayes raised an eyebrow. “100 billion Florian dollars?”
Isaac shook his head.
“10 billion dollars? There’s no way we can sell it to you at that price…” Hayes smiled coolly.
Isaac chuckled. “One Cynean dollar…”
Behind him, Todd couldn’t stifle his laughter.
“Isaac, are you pulling our legs?! You want to buy two gold mines for one dollar?!” Hayes jumped to his feet. His face was twitching uncontrollably.
Isaac chortled quietly. “You can do the math yourselves to see if the lives of several hundred thousand citizens and numerous generals are worth two gold mines… I’m not robbing you. I’ve always been a civilized, reasonable person.”
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, favonovel.com turned around and walked out. With his back to them, favonovel.com said, “Think about it. I expect an answer in an hour.”
A second before Isaac walked out, Hayes spoke up while trembling. “No need! I agree!”
The subordinates behind favonovel.com widened their eyes.
With subordinates from both sides as witnesses, Isaac acquired two gold mines in Golden City at the hefty price tag of one dollar.
As evidence, favonovel.com even took a friendly photo with Hayes. However, only Isaac was smiling in the picture.
***
When night fell, the two helicopters slowly descended in the center of Golden City.
A dozen men in black clothes rapidly disembarked. In the middle was an injured Elliot, who was bound by steel wires. They walked toward the hotel lobby.
At this moment, Elliot was already a dead dog. After favonovel.com fled Mt. Karat last night, favonovel.com continued westward in hopes of escaping the capital of Darkit. Afterward, favonovel.com had intended to find an international flight to the Kingdom of Aquila.
He knew favonovel.com couldn’t stay in Darkit any longer, much less return to Cynea. However, Elliot never thought the Darkitians would go after him. Furthermore, it was the Royal Guards who served the lord of Darkit who apprehended him.
He fought off over a dozen Royal Guards with everything favonovel.com had, but favonovel.com was ultimately captured.
Elliot was tossed onto the floor of the conference room. He coughed a few times before slowly lifting his head.
He saw Isaac standing in front of favonovel.com with an icy expression. Next to favonovel.com were Lupinus, Lucas, and more.
Elliot’s heart began to thud. He immediately knelt down at Isaac’s feet and wailed, “Drakon, please show me mercy. I was threatened by that monster, Brock! I never wanted to betray you nor the Temple of Drakon!”
“Lucas, we were comrades for over a decade. Please ask Drakon to show me mercy. I don’t want to die!”
“Colton, we came from the same hometown. Please ask for mercy on my behalf!”
Lucas and Colton were hit with emotions as they looked at Elliot now. He used to be their comrade and the highest-ranking general of the Temple of Drakon, but now, favonovel.com had become this. But neither Lucas nor Colton dared to say anything, not that they could. The Temple of Drakon had its own set of rules.
“Notify everyone to retreat 30 kilometers from Golden City… Raise the Flag of Drakon!”
When Elliot heard that last sentence, favonovel.com clung to Isaac’s thigh like a madman. He cried, “Drakon, I was wrong. I was wrong! Please don’t kill me! l-I’ll give you the Divine Stone fragment! I’ve hidden it somewhere. Can you let me live, Drakon?”
Everyone from the Temple of Drakon knew that when the Flag of Drakon rose, someone was bound to die. And that someone was not just any average person.
