Chapter 976: Negotiate
?
"Negotiate? Did he really say that?!" Robin''s eyes lit up, and a spontaneous smile found its way to his face... Although it was a very slim possibility, it was undoubtedly the best possible
outcome.
After all, the main goal of this war was to pay off his debt to the All-Seeing God. If he was expelled from Nihari in exchange for all those planets, it would definitely be a win for him in the short term, but in the long run, there were two disasters waiting for him.
The first was that he would not know what the All-Seeing God had in store for him in a new mission... That crazy man who brought him the mission of confronting a 10,000 year old Planetary Empire when he was still a mere knight trying his best to survive! What kind of mission would he give him now that he had become a Planetary Emperor? Telling him to invade the Ancient Planetary Belt?!
Secondly, Pythor and the Great Serpent Empire can never be safe as long as they have Planet Nihari, even though he almost emptied it of its energy Pearls before and during the war, the planet is still full of unexplored and unmined mines, it is also full of precious metals and plants, whoever takes over Planet Nihari will be destined to establish a great empire, Pythor''s presence there means he will remain in danger forever!
*Shiii* "Negotiating what? Did I miss something?" Richard landed quietly next to Robin, he felt it when his father arrived on the planet and decided to leave his seclusion again, his father doesn''t move around unless there is something big.
"Hmm, why exactly seven days?" Robin looked at Theo, he knew the answer would most likely be with him.
Theo thought for a moment, "...The only thing I can think of is the fact that 600 Martial Emperors and 500,000 soldiers are being sent to Nihari, they will arrive any day next week." He had extracted this information from torturing some prisoners on the Poison Rock Planet.
"...That makes sense, he wants to show off his full strength before negotiating then, he wants to sit with me while he is in a position of power..." Robin nodded a few times, then patted the old Gu standing next to him, "I will leave this young man in the custody of the Sky Opening Tower, treat him with the best means we have, you can use any treasures in the Imperial treasury to ease the process for him."
"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Shadow Sword''s eyes throbbed with life once again, if it was one of the Sky Opening Tower''s projects, he would definitely be healed in no time!
The Shadow Sword forced himself to kneel down forcefully, but his mortal knee accidentally shattered and he started screaming, Old Man Gu sighed, then took him and left, the rest of the paramedics and gate guards left with them as well, only Robin, Richard, Theo and Billy remained in their places.
"...You wouldn''t agree to this nonsense, would you? Let me send them one of the slaves to tell them to go fuck themselves." Theo didn''t seem to like what he was hearing, why would his father go to anyone when he was in a position of power? They had taken nine planets including Pythor''s motherland and he couldn''t do anything about it, what logic would he have invited them to a hostile location like the City of Hope?!
"You think I wouldn''t agree?" Robin remained silent for a few seconds before the smile on his face grew from ear to ear, his rapid heartbeat could be heard clearly from afar, "Haha... Hahaha, I''ve been waiting for this moment, how could I not agree?! If he asked for my presence today I would gladly go!"
