The Fat God System

Chapter 205: Bargain

Both Hugh and the guard both looked at the guard after he said those words. What did he mean by that? We're those just numb kings of a mad man about to die.

Then, before Hugh and the guard could question the chosen's words, they all suddenly heard a loud booming sound followed by a quake in the earth.

Both the guard and Hugh looked towards the direction in which the explosion had occurred. The guard and Hugh immediately got a feeling that the army was being attacked.

The guard made a split decision to escape and go to back up the commander. This was an ambush attack on the army, and the guard could not let anything happen to the commander.

Judging from the chosen's words, it seemed like they had planned all these since the very beginning. The only threat that the commander and the thousand-strong army could consider was if chosen people got together.

However, the army had never considered this thought. There was no way that any one organization could afford a handful of chosen, let alone an army of them.

However, the hairs had a bad feeling in his stomach. He rushed and left Hugh all alone with the chosen for him to deal with.

Hugh could not believe the luck he was witnessing. It looked like the Shark Loan company had finally made its move on the Cheroque army.

For one thing, he was finally rid of the annoying guard hat was always watching his back. He no longer had to hide his identity now that the guard had returned to the commander's side.

Second, he was glad that the Shark Loan company and the Cheroque army was fighting against each other. Id they had a full blown war, then one of their sides could completely die out.

No matter who won, Hugh and his companions would win in the exchange. This was beneficial to him.

As the chosen saw Hugh distracted with his thoughts, he realized that this was his chance to try and change the tides of the battle.

With his arms, he secret produced a blade in his arms and stroked directly in Hugh's neck. He was aiming to kill Hugh without any hesitation.

In his mind, once Hugh was killed, then he could easily deals right the remaining soldiers in the platoon. Without Hugh, there was no one else that could stand up to him.

As his blade traveled through the air, he saw that Hugh's eyes were still distracted. This was it, he thought.

However, his blade stopped in its tracks a few inches away from Hugh's neck. A little more, and he would be able to kill Hugh.

He felt a hand gripping his elbow and preventing him from moving his blade and killing Hugh. The chosen was surprised. This kind of strength was not something he thought he would witness.

When he tried o pull away from the grip, he realized that he could not budge his arms. This was impossible, he thought.

"Hugh, be careful," Serena said as she looked at Hugh and shook her head. She did not give the slightest attention to the chosen.

The chosen frowned as he heard the soldier speak. It was a woman, the last person he thought that would be under a soldier's helmet.

The chosen realized his mistake. It was not only Hugh who was strong, but also this female figure who had just disappeared.

He quickly changed his stance and created another blade on the other side of his hand. Then, he used it to charge and attacked towards Serena.

Serena did not even have to look at the chosen to known that she was being attacked. The slash was slow, and it was not anything that she could not handle.

With one swift move, she grabbed the chosen's wrists and twisted it in such a way that his movements were more restricted.

The chosen felt pain all over his joints, and could not help but stop his attacks. Serena had completely subdued him in a meter of seconds.

"Ah, sorry. I was busy thinking," Hugh said as he flashed a guilty smile at Serena.

She could not help but feel as if Hugh was being too lenient. Although she knew that Hugh would not have any trouble dealing with the chosen, it was still better to be safe than sorry.

"So, what are we going to do with this guy?" Serena said as she tightened her grip on the chosen's wrists, making him squirm in pain.

"We need to interrogate him," Hugh said.

The chosen could not help but feel fear as he saw the lifeless eyes of Hugh. This was a man who would do anything in order to find the answers he wanted to know.

He was a chosen, a man destined for greatness. Now, he was being treated like trash by a bunch of soldiers. It was an absolute humiliation that he could not live down.

Hugh raised his hands and threatened the chosen with his fists. He increased his aura, and let the chosen know the difference between their powers.

Cold sweat immediately poured down the chosen's back as he felt Hugh's anger. At this rate, Hugh would keep him and torture him until he had to give in and tell all the secrets he knew.

The chosen decided to kill himslef now so that he would not be able to betray his organization. It would be better to die an honorable death rather than love being a traitor.

The chosen opened his mouth and proceeded to bite his tongue. Hugh underestimated the chosen's loyalty to the Shark Loan company, so he could not do anything about the attempt.

*PSST*

Hugh turned towards Serena and saw that she had used a perfume and gave it towards the chosen. For a second there, Hugh was confused.

Then, he remembered where the perfume otter had come from. It was a very special perfume that could give Serena the command over anything that the perfume touched.

"Stop biting your tongue," Serena ordered.

Immediately, the chosen opened his mouth and showed a bloody tongue, but it was not cut deep enough yet. This was a successful way to do it.

"Thanks, Serena," Hugh said, rubbing his nose.

If it were not for Serena, Hugh would not have been able to stop the chosen from killing himself by biting his own tongue.

"What do you want to know about him?" Serena asked.

Hugh rubbed his chin and thought deeply. He wanted to be able to know the goals of the Shark Loan company, but that was too vague.

"Why have the Shark Loan company attacked the army?" Hugh said.

Serena puffed out her perfume again. "Answer his questions."

The chosen could not help but spill the beans about the Shark Loan company. It seemed that the Shark Loan company was trying to lessen the control of the commander over the kingdom.

But why? Why would the Shark Loan company try to do that? What would they gain? They certainty would not be able to ascend the throne, and the kingdom would fall if there was no leader.

"Why attack the army now?" Hugh asked.

"The leaders of the Shark Loan company deemed that it was the right time to attack. They have secured the package."

Hugh frowned. What was the package? Was it some kind of weapon? Would it help the Shark Loan company in trying to defeat the Cheroque army?

Whatever it was, Hugh needed to know what it was. It was the only way to know if the Shark Loan company was an opponent or not.

If it was, then Hugh could try and execute a deal with the Shark Loan company.

"What is the package?" Hugh asked.

The chosen waited for a little bit, then finally spoke. "It's the long lost princess."

Hugh and Serena flinched. The long lost princess was none other than Mia. It looked like it was truly the Shark Loan company who had her.

Hugh and Serena both looked at each other. With Mia involved, they could not just stand still with this.

"Tell this to your superior," Hugh said.

Then, he proceeded to give the chosen specific instructions to deliver back at their hideouts.

First, he wanted the chosen to tell the upper ranks of the Shark Loan company to have a deal with Hugh. Hugh would provide them with information, and Hugh would get monetary rewards.

For now, he had to say that he only needed money. If he asked for something else, they might think that it was suspicious.

Second, he asked the chosen to forget all about what happened here. This way, he would be able to remain anonymous.

The only problem with this was that Hugh did not know how long the perfume would last. He asked about it from Serena, but it seemed as if she did not know either.

After all those instructions, Hugh let Serena handle the nitty gritty stuff. He tasked Serena to find out about the limit of the perfume.
