The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 463 - Non-negotiable!



After entering Minos' office, Viola and her mother promptly greeted this young man and Abby, quickly invited by him to sit there and talk.

Both were still as beautiful as the last time Minos saw them, almost two years ago, during that short night these three and Mendy had had...

Their appearance would genuinely be able to catch the attention of anyone who saw them. However, for the moment, the main thing anyone would notice would be the necklaces around their necks and the slight pallor on their faces.

Obviously, upon arriving near the Dry City border, Mirya and Viola had received the same treatment as Celeste and Neal... Almost immediately upon reaching the southern outpost of the wall, they were approached by Minos' soldiers and then received the choice to surrender or fight.

And because they had come here with no intention of causing trouble but instead to form alliances, they had been decisive in their decision to surrender, despite the initial awkwardness..

Even though the operation mode of this place was unusual and there were risks for her and her daughter, Mirya had decided it was worth the risk.

In her opinion, a territory that could afford such defenses, while probably not strong enough to defend itself against the region's peak powers, would undoubtedly have the means to deal with people on her level.

In this case, she believed that if the opposing party wanted to harm her, take her freedom and then enslave her, there would be ways to do so without her consent.

And considering the earning potential she had here, the slight risk that was left was worth it for this woman to put her life on the line!

At least that's what she thought...

Finally, after being arrested and having her cultivation sealed, she was sent to the local prison. There, she informed the people responsible for that place, the purpose of her coming to this city, which was doing business with Minos again!

Anyway, after being brought into Minos' office, the pair of mother and daughter sat down on the biggest sofa there, face to face with Minos and Abby. "Well, I expected you two to come here sooner or later..."

"In fact, I wanted this to happen, but before I make my offer, I want to hear what you two have to say." Minos commented with a calm look on his face as he realized his conclusions weren't wrong.

He had already ordered his soldiers to protect the groups of people migrating from the City of Waters to the Dry City, so he knew Mirya was investigating him. And when her subordinates had tried to chase these groups, all they had achieved was repeated beatings by Minos' soldiers...

But recently, this young man had finally changed his strategies for the City of Waters, as the Independence Plan was about to begin!

Such a plan was not only audacious but also prudent. It was a means for Black  Plain's forces to act before their enemies. That would give them a chance to build means to counteract the enemy powers, at the moment much stronger than those of the Dry City.

Minos felt that it was the best time to begin this plan, given his individual and army's collective strength and because of the events on Stone Island.

What was happening in that state was slowly starting to reach other states in the region, especially those closer to Elena's homeland. Like the Kingdom of the Waves and the Cromwell Kingdom.

Hence, Minos was aware that it would be harder for him to keep hiding the changes in the Dry City for much longer. So, he had decided to start acting before his enemies, building the foundations that would give him several alternatives in the future when he proclaimed independence!

And as the City of Waters was one of the closest urban regions to the Dry City, this place was naturally in this young man's plans.

Finally, upon hearing Minos' comment, Viola and Mirya seemed curious about it. Still, soon this mature woman started talking about her intentions.

"You are a competent young man, Minos, hehe. It's just a shame you treat old friends this way…" She commented with a flirtatious smile as she looked at him and then the blue-haired young woman right next to him.

"Hehe, but kidding aside, I understand your reasons for doing this. After all, this place is fantastic. Even I'm jealous of you right now..."

"But, anyway, after Viola discovered the location of this place, I immediately decided to come here. I believe I can offer many services for you, just like in the agreement we had in the past."

"I can get more ordinary people to migrate to this city, materials needed for any of the spiritual professions, professions, etc. I can even help you sell your products in the Cromwell Kingdom." She then looked at him once more and bit her lip. "Whatever you want, I can do..."

Abby immediately became red with embarrassment upon hearing such a thing as she clasped her hands and looked coldly at Mirya. 'Bitch!'

At the same time, even Mirya's daughter had been a little embarrassed by her mother's comment. 'How do you say that in front of that girl? If we were here alone, I understand, but that was unnecessary, mom...'

'Mirya is truly interesting, hahaha. That day it was the same thing. The difference was that I didn't have such a significant advantage, and children were watching us...' Minos thought to himself without altering his expression.

'But with Abby here, I doubt she cares about that. Ahh, this is going to get me some trouble later…' He reflected as he ran one of his hands over the back of his girlfriend, feeling how rigid her body seemed to be right now.

"Hmm, I understand. Well, I expected you to say something like that, but I have a deal that's a little different from what you're imagining."

"And how is this?" Mirya asked, feeling very at ease, almost like she would feel if she were trading in her office in the City of Waters.

"You and Viola join my army and help me make a deal with the Stokes family." He said calmly.

"What?" But instead of Mirya saying something, the first to react was Viola. She had found this offer too daring. After all, that would be treason, something unforgivable practically everywhere in the Spiritual World!

On the other hand, Abby was annoyed by this, but for a different reason than Viola… 'Now, will you want to fill your army with these women?'

She had already accepted that this young man would date other women, whether she liked it or not. Still, that doesn't mean she would welcome anyone, especially if she weren't compatible with the other party's personality...

'I have to put certain restrictions on this!' Abby thought when she finally started to hear Mirya's voice.

"This… I don't even know what to say about that first offer of yours, but what do you want to talk about with the Stokes family? That can be pretty easy for me to get depending on what it is…" She commented with an uncertain tone in her voice, speaking for the first time in a long time from an insecure position, putting aside her provocative attitude and focusing on the subject at the question.

"I must make it clear that the first point is non-negotiable... But as for what I want with the Stokes family, well, that's simple."

"First, I want a non-aggression agreement guaranteed by Soul Contracts."

"Second, what I want with the Stokes family is what you were offering me earlier, business. Third, I want you to help me..."
