Chapter 96: Humiliating Transaction

Goethe's room.

"Master, Raven killed Master Oaken. This time I am here to take him away on the orders of the Duke." Philip said in a deep voice.

Goethe pondered in silence.

Feyre had told him about this, and after being shocked, he decided to keep Raven first.

Although this would offend the Duke of the North, Raven's importance was self-evident, and Oaken was at fault.

“Lord Philip, I have understood this matter clearly.

It was Oaken who wanted to kill Riven first, so Riven fought back.

Moreover, Raven is from the White Tower, so it is reasonable for him to investigate and judge the case.

Please tell the Duke that we will give him an explanation."

Philip was furious and narrowed his eyes:
"Explain?
Master, don't forget that Raven killed your nephew, so of course you should judge him.

This is a blood feud, and I don't think even His Majesty would interfere."

"I understand your feelings, Lord Duke, but the White Tower has its own rules."

"Humph! Are you going to openly protect Raven?"

"I just followed the rules and had no intention of protecting you."

"This is a blood feud. Will the White Tower face the wrath of the Lord?"

Goethe sighed and said, "I understand your anger, but I cannot break the rules of the White Tower."

Seeing that the old man kept talking about rules, Philip slammed the table and shouted:

“Don’t forget, Dean Christine is fighting at the front, and there are hundreds of people from the White Tower following her!
I guess they might not be willing to become enemies with adults just for Raven?

What's more, a lot of supplies at the front come from the north. If you cut off the aid, the entire western war situation will be affected.

Master, can you bear this responsibility?"

Goethe fell into a long silence, and finally said calmly:

“While the dean is away, I will be in charge of the White Tower. I have made my words clear.

If you are dissatisfied, you can go to the dean, but if you threaten me with the war ahead, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be able to get past that.”

Philip laughed angrily:

"Okay! Okay! Since Bai Ta is determined to be your enemy, there is nothing more to say!
Recently, the frozen land barbarians have been advancing southwards, and the war in the north has become tense. We are unable to provide some supplies. I believe that His Majesty will not blame you.

Even if it's weird, it's just weird!

Farewell! "

After Philip left, Goethe was worried.

"Raven, this is all I can get for you."

A week later, several exhausted soldiers returned from the battlefield and had a fierce argument with Goethe.

The cause of the quarrel was Raven.

Philip found Christine, and the dean resisted the pressure and decided to save Raven, but some of the Burners in the White Tower were not happy about it.

Offending the Duke of the North for a mere Riven would lead to a shortage of supplies at the front and would affect the overall situation.

Just a brat!

Abandon when necessary!

That night Goethe came to Feyet's small building.

"My friend, I'm sorry I can't do anything about Raven's situation.

Shelley stopped supplying material aid to the front, and the Grand Duke could no longer hold on.

Not only that, but this incident also caused the White Tower to become alienated, and many people were angry about turning against Shelley at this time.

So I had to hand him over."

Faye was horrified.

"If you do this, Raven will surely die.

With his talent, he will definitely be the second Monet in less than 20 years. You are so confused! "

Goethe shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"If the current war goes badly, there won't be 20 years left, and no one can take on such a responsibility.

Besides, because of the spiritual power, not everyone is optimistic about Raven’s future.”

"I see."

Faye sat down blankly.

"Can I use the White Tower's communication array?"

"Okay, who do you want to contact?"

"Bruno."

This is an exquisite oval-shaped combustion array, emitting a water-like glow, and Bruno's gloomy face is reflected inside.

"It's you?"

"I want to make a deal with you."

Faye got straight to the point.

"In order to increase the power of the Demon Melt Titan, you embarked on a path of genocide, so I destroyed your laboratory. But in fact, I have developed the core combustion array you want, which can greatly enhance the ability of the Demon Melt Titan."

Bruno's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and he said in a hurried voice:

"Are you serious? Where is the Burning Force Array?"

"Do you think I'll give it to you for nothing?"

"Tell me what your conditions are. As long as they are not too excessive, I can agree to them. I can even stop chasing you."

"I don't want to waste time talking. You just need to persuade the Duke of the North to let one person go."

"Who?"

"Raven."

Bruno sneered:
"Are you okay in the head?
That kid killed Oaken, how could the Duke give up on this blood feud just for me?"

“From what I understand, due to the Saint Alliance’s eastward invasion, the Frozen Barbarians also took the opportunity to move south on a large scale. The North will surely face several years of hard fighting.

If your Demonic Titan can improve further, it will definitely be of great benefit to the battle situation, what do you think?"

"That's impossible. The Duke's bloodline has been cut off. Why would he want to establish a fiefdom? The worst that can happen is that he can retreat southward."

Feiye looked disappointed, he thought the other party would agree to this condition.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"If I lower the conditions, the Duke only needs to give Raven five years, and he can take revenge anytime after five years, how about that?"

"Five years? Humph, you overestimate Raven." Bruno sneered.

"You don't need to worry about this. As long as you can convince Shelley, the Burning Force Array will be yours."

Bruno didn't nod when he heard this, but just looked at him coldly.

Feiye was frightened by his gaze and retorted: "Why, you like me?"

"Don't you think you should do something?"

"what?"

"Lower your head and apologize!"

Bruno's eyes turned fierce and he grinned:

"You destroyed my lab and ruined my research. Shouldn't you apologize?"

"Bullshit, you deserve it. I have no regrets about what I did!"

"If you don't apologize, you'll just have to watch Raven die!"

"Damn it, don't go too far!" Feiye's blood boiled.

"I went too far. I forced you to apologize. You can turn off the combustion array and get out of here."

Feyre's chest rose and fell rapidly, and she finally let out a breath and said, "I'm sorry."

"Hahaha, even the fearless Feyre would apologize? Give it to me!"

Bruno laughed wildly, but his expression changed:
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you."

Feyre's face turned red, "You piece of shit!"

"I said I didn't hear clearly, say it again."

"You piece of shit!"

What the hell!

Bruno's face was immediately filled with black lines:
“I was talking about the previous sentence!
I see you don't want Raven to live!
I'll count to three, or I'll shut down the Burning Array."

Feiye's face turned pale, and finally she said helplessly: "I'm sorry!"

"Hahaha……"

Bruno's wild laughter echoed through the room.

Two days later, Faye anxiously waited for a reply.

In the burning array, Bruno looked at him gloomily.

"The Duke has changed his mind. He is not going to let Raven die so easily.

So he would give him three years.

During these three years, he had to watch that bastard living in anxiety and waiting for death in agony and despair. "

"What? You didn't say five years!" Feyre was furious.

"You're overthinking it. Three years at most. It's up to you to decide whether to agree or not."

"You are not trustworthy!"

"Huh, that's what you said, did I agree?"
