To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot - CH 36

Chapter 36 negotiation’s outcome

Relax.

All I need to negotiate is a good enough card to convince the other side.

I have that. As long as I keep my cards close to the vest, it should go well.

“First of all, let me conclude that you, Mr. Hian, can be the ultimate leader of the underworld.”

“Oh. The ultimate top is a big deal. Go on::

With his face on his cheekbones, Haiyan turns his zero degree gaze on me.

The slight interest in the expressionless eyes.

I pour the oil of interest into the fire that is this.

“If we break it down, there are three benefits that Hyann will gain. I will explain them one by one.:

Even though I was somewhat familiar with this kind of situation through Schneizel, my legs still shake under this kind of pressure.

If I make even one wrong move, the worst thing that could happen is that I could be killed.

Even if not, if I cannot get these guys to help me, there is a good chance that I will die in an attack by the Evil cult of Ulgor.

Therefore, this is the critical point. I can’t make a bad move, but this is the time to risk my life.

I must play my cards as well as I can.

‘First of all, I have a connection with my master Schneizel.”

“How do you obtain this? And what good will it do?”

‘Even if you only help me, Master Hian will not be able to ignore him. I am an irreplaceable disciple of my master. I can assure you that there is no one of my age who can match me in terms of strength, wisdom, and overall ability. As for my strength, you have just seen my battle with the White Mask. As for my ability level, you can judge from this conversation.’

“Well, I don’t know.’

So, from Hian’s point of view, I appear to be reasonably strong.

It’s a good thing he didn’t deny it outright.

‘If he loses me like that, the master will have to find another excellent disciple and then re-educate him from the beginning. The master will never disparage the existence that prevented that loss.’

‘I see. There is wishful planning, but it makes sense in a way. You create the opportunity, and whether or not I take it as an opportunity, it’s not a bad profit.”

‘That’s not al From now on, this continent will be in the midst of battles”.

‘I know. Looking at the world situation, the movements of various nations, the expansion of the arms market, etc., a great war will break out in five years at the earliest and in fifteen years at the latest.’

That’s amazing. I am surprised that Haiyan has arrived at the conclusion I got from the game on his own.

That great war will break out eleven years from now. Two years after the story begins.

‘And this is what you mean, isn’t it? In turbulent times, it is the military officers, not the civilian officers, who gain influence. And having a relationship with Schneizel, who will become a great general, will be an absolute power in the future.”

‘As you say, .’

I express my affirmation and open my mouth to present the next benefit.

At that moment, as if to cover my words, Haiyan stopped using his cheekbones and straightened his posture.

The look of indifference in his eyes was filled with willpower.

‘Are you really six years old? Or did somebody put you up to this?”

‘I am really six years old, and it was all my opinion’.

‘—— Then what if I tell you that I will only help you? That little girl there is one of the few fears I have. If I let the Yog’s daughter live, it could be used as a banner for an enemy organization to rise up against me. Wouldn’t it be better to let her die?”

I had expected that question. The answer to that question is the second benefit.

“Well, that’s interesting. Go on.”

I could see the intense interest in Hyann’s eyes as he looked at me.

‘Okay, , good!”

We’ve passed the first hurdle.

First, Kaine will be our standard bearer.

“Wait, Norwin?”

Kaine, beside me, is dismayed, but ignores her.

Hyann looked at me with narrowed eyes.

I guess he feels that my words, my ideas, have a certain value.

‘With your help, Caine will take the lead in defeating the White Masks. With that track record, combined with the narrative of following in the great father’s footsteps, people will come together.’

“What are the chances that they won’t? It would be much safer to join a large existing organization than to create a new one.”

“Several small groups have already indicated that they would be our allies as long as we defeat the White Masks . Isn’t that right?”

The old man, who was sweating coldly, nodded with a white face.

‘Yes, sir. I am the link and have signed contracts with three groups already.”

‘Then there is no need to be pessimistic.”

When Hyann was satisfied, I opened my mouth again.

“The organizations that have been formed will be in charge of maintaining the security of the underground society.’

“I see. You want me to help finance and follow up on their activities?”

‘Yes. . Maintaining the security of the underworld is an activity that can only be done with money and support. Therefore, Caine is the face of the underworld and Haiyan controls the underworld. Although there are many uncertainties regarding this, and the details will be worked out after the organization is established, I think the conditions are not bad.”

‘Not bad at all. The unknowns are still unknown, so there are many uncertainties, but even with these uncertainties, the benefits will be enormous.”

I have a feeling that at this point, Haiyan would be willing to cooperate with us.

But at this point, negotiations had only just been concluded.

We were the ones asking for help, in other words, the weak side, and it would end with Haiyan having a one-sided advantage.

Besides, in the first place…

“Hmmm. Your proposal is not bad. It’s not bad, but there’s no need to go out of my way to cooperate with you. The connection with Schneizel is tempting, but I’m not lacking in any way without it. Controlling the underworld with Kaine as a pawn is tempting, but if I wanted to, I could do it without you guys. After all, I’m not willing to take the unnecessary risk of making enemies of the White Mask here.”

Yes, you don’t have to accept my proposal. This monster can accomplish everything on his own without accepting anything I have to offer.

So, what do you think?

Even though it was only for a short period of time, the gains were well thought out and considered. Even if I put them all together, I couldn’t make the monster in front of me roar.

“Phew.”

I’ve spent everything I can afford. Then all I had to do was bet.

I looked Hyann straight in the eyes and thumped my own chest.

The third benefit is my personal connections.

By helping me here, they will have a future tie to me.

But this is a gamble with an unknowable outcome.

Would I be worth it in ten, twenty, or even twenty years in the future?

Even if I do nothing, he I will be one of the best in the military. As Schneizel’s disciple, I have a certain amount of career opportunities available to me. But I don’t intend to stop there.”

Hyann waits for me to continue without changing his expression.

Unable to read his true intentions, whether they be anticipation or dismay, I manage to rouse my heart, which is about to be crushed by anxiety, and continue my words.

‘What do you think? How about joining hands with me in the future, as I have been aiming for the top with all my might? I won’t let you lose anything. If it is now, when I am in partnership with no one but my master, I can take all the benefits that I can bring to you, Master Hian.”

“But…”

After I finished speaking, I just stared at Hian, who did not say anything.

It was a suffocating silence.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, how much time had passed?

Suddenly

” kukukuku ‘,

Hyann burst out laughing, clutching his stomach.

This was a rare sight, or perhaps it was the result of the dismay of his subordinates, who rolled their eyes at him.

They were all looking at each other in disbelief. No, I’m sorry. I never thought that I, myself, would be pressured by a six-year-old boy.

“Is that you, Master Haiyan?”

‘Good. I will help you. Hey, Sigurum.”

Hyann called out the name of the man standing closest to him.

“Ha!”

“Go run to the Waldheim house and tell them that Norwin is safe with me.’

Awe.”

The man, Sigurm, promptly disappeared from existence like a shadow.

“What the hell?

An eye-popping, super-fast movement. Either by magic or by a martial arts master who has trained his body to the utmost limit, he is a strong man who cannot be compared to the White Mask we just engaged in battle.

When I was surprised by this, Haiyan asked me in a testing tone of voice, “Norwin, why do you think I am Shuang Shuang?

“Norwin, do you know why I sent a messenger to Schneizel?’

‘Perhaps, but the White Mask kidnapped me as an intended hostage to my master. Was it to tell me that there was no need to worry about it, and that I was now free to move on?”

“Yes. And also, I’ll tell you, he doesn’t want to fight those guys with just my crew.”

I see.

The Ulgor evil cult is still an uncertain opponent for Hian as well.

So, he wanted to prevent the situation in which his allies would be killed, even if by any chance, and to have the strongest help from the beginning.

Wow, he’s really like Nicolas, that Hiyan.

Don’t tell me that this could still have armed forces as well.

Well, this is just a sense on my skin, but I think Nicholas is more likely to have depth of thought.

“Um, you can help us, can’t you? I really appreciate it.:

:Don’t thank me. I will certainly lend you my strength, but that’s only because I judged the benefit to be worth the risk. In other words, you and I are equals.:

“I understand.”

“So, what are you going to do? You have thought about the future of the mission, haven’t you?”

“Yes.’

⚪️

After that, I had a discussion with Haiyan, Kaine, old man, and other intellectuals on the Haiyan side, and we came up with a plan that was better than what I had thought of on my own, and then disbanded.

Thus, I succeeded in getting the help of the most powerful beings in the underworld.

Finally, I can move to crush the Ulgor evil cult.

Wait and see, you bastards. I won’t let you do your evils deads !
