Chapter 1095: 1095
In an unknown area on the outskirts of the big city, Kieran saw Karles .
The spy from the guardians who infiltrated Rachel's inn .
Unlike the last meeting where Karles showed a lazy manner, this time, even though Kieran couldn't see his face, he could feel the nervousness under the system blur .
Karles' T-shirt and jeans outfit were long gone, he was currently wearing a robe-like outfit .
"Increased undercover effect eh . "
Kieran got a general idea of the robe after a quick glance .
Obviously, Karles had seen better days, or in other words, no one would show mercy to a traitor, including the guardians of the Witch's Legacy .
"Thank you for coming . I've sent a lot of messages requesting for help but only you showed up in the end . "
Karles laughed bitterly when he saw Kieran coming over .
"Help? I am just here to get more information about the Guardians . If the information you provide me is valid, then as an exchange, I can provide you with some help . This is a trade-off, not a voluntary act," Kieran emphasized .
"Even if it is a trade, your appearance still overwhelmed me with joy . " Karles seemed to not care .
"Seems like you're in a much worse situation than I expected . Actually staying in your room is much better than stepping out like this," Kieran said .
His words had a slight sense of testing though .
Before showing up to the meeting, Kieran carefully checked the surroundings and didn't find any ambushes . However, he was still treating Karles as a stranger, a stranger with a hostile past, so how could Kieran be carefree about this meeting?"
"If I could I would stay in my room but now, I can't go back . Otherwise, I wouldn't linger here in the outskirts," Karles pointed at the robots farther away .
"The Guardians sent three men to guard three of my lodging spots . As long as I go near them, I'll be killed by the ambush . I never doubted their ruthlessness towards a traitor, just like I don't need to doubt their resolution as the Guardians . So, 2567, I hope you can help me get back to my room . "
Karles took a deep breath and looked at Kieran with anticipation .
"Then?"
"I'll become the Guardians' target instead by stepping in to replace you?"
Kieran didn't give a direct reply, instead, he laughed coldly .
It was Kieran's real thought and also a way for him to negotiate his terms . When both converged, it would make securing more benefits from the negotiation easier .
Kieran wasn't a cunning merchant like Broker but whenever he was fighting for his own good, he would never show a soft heart .
When one gave up on the benefits they deserved in exchange for gratitude and praise, it would more often than not cause others to show disdain, spill insults, and consider malicious intent behind the decision .
The human heart was the most complicated thing in existence .
Kieran never hoped to become a saint or a hero, therefore, he placed his priorities on the real and rightful benefits that he could get .
Looking back at Karles, Kieran was waiting for his answer .
"I'll tell you everything I know about the Guardians," Karles said without a second thought .
"Not even enough," Kieran shook his head directly .
"Plus two Legendary items!" Karles added .
"Not enough!"
"It looks like the situation you are in isn't that severe, I don't think we need to continue this conversation anymore . "
Kieran shook his head again and pretended that he wanted to leave .
After experiencing Rachel's inn and the little auction room behind it, Kieran had a new understanding of a high-rankers, he would not be moved anymore by the two Legendary rank items that Karles offered .
More precisely, as Kieran grew stronger, common Legendary items weren't anything much to care about anymore .
The reason why Kieran still carried a few low tier items on him was for the sake of remembrance and acting as a reminder for himself .
He kept the items around to tell himself how many hardships he'd been through and how lucky he was to reach his current stage .
