Transaction

Chapter 15: Transaction

Two more cycles of sun and moon passed.

Roy and Spandam, waiting for news in the large villa, grew increasingly anxious as time wore on.

"Hey, Spandam, are you sure everything's alright? It's been three days, why haven't we heard anything definitive from above yet!"

Roy and Spandam were eating breakfast face-to-face one morning. It was clear that the past few days of waiting had made Roy worried and irritable.

"I don't know either! Based on that Lord's usual habits, we should have had an answer by now. As for why it's taking so long this time? Honestly, I have no idea what's happening inside the Holy Land."

Nearly three days of waiting had also made Spandam anxious. Normally, tribute requests only took a day to get a result. But this time, why had it taken triple the time, and there wasn't even a single word yet!

Drinking the bitter black coffee in his hand, unlike Roy, who was simply worried about not getting his profit, Spandam had started to reflect on whether he had offended someone recently.

The reason Spandam and his son were able to climb to high positions in the World Government was definitely not just due to flattery and luck. Although the two of them were the most disgusting scum in the sea, their strengths were undeniable. After all, anyone who could survive on this sea was no fool. And among the many cunning and treacherous individuals on the sea, why was it specifically this father and son who managed to reach high positions? There must be something worth studying there.

Seeing that Spandam had fallen silent, as if deep in thought, Roy didn't say anything further. He simply picked up an oyster with his hand. The joys and sorrows of people are not the same. As Roy and Spandam ate their rich and luxurious breakfast...

On the Red Line Continent.

Inside a luxurious villa in Mary Geoise, the Holy Land.

Miserable sounds were continuously being muffled from within. Mary Geoise, the Holy Land of mankind, a sacred place yearned for by everyone in the Blue Sea. The guards outside the villa merely sighed at the tragic screams emanating from within, seemingly accustomed to it.

The Celestial Dragons claimed to be the creators of this world. And everything existed solely to serve them. As the world's nobles, the lives of the Celestial Dragons could not even be described as extravagant. And having grown up in a honeypot of endless wealth and power, it was inevitable that some perverts would arise from their ranks. Most Celestial Dragons saw nothing wrong with this. Because of their severe racial discrimination, the cruelty they inflicted upon other races was insignificant in their eyes.

Creak!

The door of the long-sealed room slowly opened. A Celestial Dragon, fat, with blood on his face and eyes red, emerged. The excitement had not yet faded from his face as he squinted, using his hand to block the slightly glaring sunlight.

"Hahahaha, the potency and the slave were excellent this time. I haven't been this excited in a long time. Carlos, tell them below that I am very satisfied this time. If they can bring me greater pleasure next time, I will definitely not be stingy with my rewards."

The naked Celestial Dragon, unashamed, let out a frenzied voice.

"Yes, my master, your will is everything. Your rewards will surely make those lowly peasants below weep with gratitude."

Beside the fat Celestial Dragon, a dwarf-like man fawned and echoed the words his Celestial Dragon master most loved to hear.

"Hahahaha, Carlos, you speak well. My will is everything. I'll leave the rest to you. Also, that beauty in the room, remember to treat him well. Don't let him die. I like his aquiline nose."

The fat Celestial Dragon trembled his flab, naked, and walked towards the bathhouse, attended by his male servant.

"Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, my master."

After watching the Celestial Dragon, whose drug effects had clearly not worn off, leave. Carlos let out a sigh of relief.

He touched his back and found that his shirt was already drenched in sweat.

The Celestial Dragons were arguably the most noble people in the world, and at the same time, they were the most dangerous and capricious.

Serving these so-called World Nobles meant constantly living in fear.

However, once you managed to curry favor with the Celestial Dragons, the rewards were unimaginable.

Within this massive villa, besides the Celestial Dragons, Carlos was the de facto second-in-command.

He waved his hand, summoning two guards, and ordered them into the room that reeked of blood and stench.

He turned his head and glanced with pity at the dark, ominous door.

"I wonder how many days this toy can last under its master?"

Turning around, he clasped his hands behind his back.

The dwarf, Carlos, no longer showed any of his previous fawning.

His eyes now held a deep greed as he walked out of the villa.

"I've got what I needed. I hope Spandam, that guy, will be as honorable as his father and uphold our agreement."

In the vast World Government, with the Celestial Dragons at the top of the food chain, it was natural for many people to have designs on them.

After hundreds of years of development, the World Government had become deeply entrenched.

Although Spandine and Spandam were considered new elites, through years of offerings and deliberate sycophancy, the father and son had managed to cultivate good relationships within Mary Geoise.

Carlos was precisely an important partner of Spandine, Spandam's father.

As for how Spandam and Roy managed to persuade this man to use the power that slipped through the Celestial Dragons' fingers to create convenience for them.

The most important reasons were, firstly, that Spandam already knew Carlos, and secondly, that Roy and Spandam were willing to give Carlos fifty percent of the profits they obtained, allowing him to take the lion's share of their plan.

A short, dwarfish man naturally carried emotional scars.

Often, when one aspect is lacking, a person will compensate in another.

Money was precisely what Carlos loved the most.

And this was exactly what Roy and Spandam valued.

By using immense profits to lure this greedy individual.

They made him use the power held by the Celestial Dragons to fill the losses Roy and Spandam had incurred as much as possible.

Don't ask why Roy didn't use the power behind him to cooperate with Spandam.

The reason was simple: Roy's father had gone to meet the Pirate King two years ago.

The favors his father had left behind, if Roy were to use them now, he could only use one less.

As the saying goes, why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?

Sometimes, certain favors cannot be bought with money.

The reason Roy and Spandam could maintain an equal footing now.

Part of it was Roy's own strength.

Another very important factor was the protection his father had left behind.
