The choice is yours?
! It was just a casual remark.
From Ye Zichen's words, he didn't seem to have any intention of giving Karkat a choice at all.
Threats.
So you have to make the choice you promised.
Everyone else in Ye Zichen's cabin gasped in astonishment at his words.
He didn't expect that he would contact Kakat just to tell him this.
They didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
To win?
It wasn't a big deal to use some tricks.
What's more, Ye Zichen's conditions were already pretty good. Ye Zichen took over the management of Kakat's family, and found a way out for Kakat.
"Brother."
Kakaros was completely moved, his eyes filled with approval as he stood behind.
He felt that it was feasible.
The only thing they had to be wary of was the Mercenary Alliance. Now, the Milky Way Lord was willing to prepare a path of retreat for them.
But … under such temptation, Kakat laughed for no reason.
She saw his smile in the projection.
Ye Zichen, who sat on the sofa, let out a long sigh.
He had failed! "Milky Way Overlord, what a brilliant plan."
Karkat cracked his neck. "What you said is indeed very tempting. You can look at my brother. He has already been fooled by you."
"Intimidate?
! I don't understand. "
Ye Zichen squinted.
"Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to?"
Kakat replied, "The stakes are huge, but if I really did that, wouldn't I anger all the participants?
What can I do even if all the points are with me, let alone three or seven? "
"They can't kill you."
"You can't kill me, but it will be hard for me to advance in the Ancestral Dragon Clan."
Kakat said solemnly, "If you really want to cooperate, sure. I won't attack you for a year and a half.
As long as you can resist the attacks of the Venerables on my side, I'm willing to cooperate with you and give you 70% of the points. "
"If that's the case, why would I cooperate with you?"
Ye Zichen asked.
"That's right, so … why are we still working together?"
Karkat's eyes turned cold. "Milky Way Lord, I was born a member of the Mercenary Alliance, and I will die a warrior of the Mercenary Alliance. Cooperation … stop dreaming."
The projection ended there.
"Brother! Why did you refuse? "
Kakaro did not understand.
"Do you really think the Galactic Lord is here to invite me?"
Karkat shook his head. "Little Brother, your thinking is too simple. Even though you are already a ninth-tier Earl and you are talented, you still need to think deeper."
"I … he's pretending?"
"No, he might really want to cooperate with me."
Karkat thought for a moment and said, "It's just that this cooperation isn't as tempting as he made it out to be. He hid a lot of foreshadowing and dangers that he didn't reveal."
"What crisis?"
"Eternal damnation!"
Ye Zichen, who sat on the sofa, let out a disappointed sigh.
Smart guy.
Why did his opponent this time have to be a smart person? If he was slightly stupid, he might really have been tricked. When the time came, he might even be able to share some of the Trial Taker's firepower with him.
Unfortunately, he didn't succeed.
"Huh? Failed?"
Hua Jianrou raised her eyebrows. "Weren't the conditions you mentioned quite tempting?"
"Seduction depends on who you're talking to."
Ye Zichen rubbed his temples, while exhaustion appeared in his eyes.
"This Karkat is very smart. He must have seen the trap I set for him, so he gave up."
"A trap?"
Hua Jianrou frowned.
"Yeah!"
Actually, Ye Zichen's conditions in the invitation were very good, but there was an important point. It was only a verbal promise.
There was no way to restrict it.
Then, this promise would not have the corresponding credibility.
For example, Ye Zichen could promise to bring his family to the Milky Way Galaxy. But how would he treat them if he invited them to the Milky Way Galaxy?
Ye Zichen could use that to threaten Karkat and force him to divulge core information about the Mercenary Alliance.
What's more … The Mercenary Alliance would know about the changes in Karkat's family.
Even if Ye Zichen really did prepare a backup plan for him, the Mercenary Alliance would do anything to kill him.
Then, Ye Zichen's problem would be reversed.
Was Ye Zichen willing to become enemies with the Azure Moon Galaxy for Karkat?
The answer was clearly no! Also, if Karkat surrendered, everyone would know that he and Ye Zichen were working together.
Ye Zichen didn't care.
He already had plenty of enemies in the universe, so it wasn't a big deal for him to hate them.
However, Karkat couldn't handle it. If he did that, then all the Trial Takers of the Eight Great Factions would cause trouble for him.
Instead, he'd become Ye Zichen's shield.
Ye Zichen's partner was vile, but Karkat, who had the absolute advantage, had surrendered. His behavior was even more vile.
Ye Zichen could even blame it on Karkat and say that he'd contacted him first.
That way, everyone's gaze would land on him.
This cooperation actually had many advantages for Ye Zichen. Unfortunately, Karkat hadn't agreed.
"Hey, that's why I said you shouldn't have contacted him. Now, it's all for naught," muttered Hua Jianrou.
"Who knows, the Ancestral Dragon Clan might already know that you contacted Karkat first in an attempt to pull some dirty tricks.
The Ancestral Dragon Clan's impression of us won't be particularly good.
If Karkat announces this to the others, we'll be in even worse straits. "
"That's not a big deal."
The Ancestral Dragon Clan wouldn't fuss over such trivial matters.
Since they hadn't announced this restriction, it meant they approved of this behavior.
As for Karkat's announcement, whether they believed it or not didn't affect Ye Zichen much.
"Also, it's not like I didn't gain anything from my projection invitation."
"What?
!”
"I disgusted him," Ye Zichen grinned.
Ye Zichen grinned. "I've pointed out the difference between us in many aspects. I've attacked his fragile heart with my words. He's feeling terrible."
Hua Jian Rou, who had a look of anticipation, immediately rolled her eyes.
"That's it?
!”
"Do you still feel proud, Milky Way Lord?"
"What is it?"
Ye Zichen shrugged. "Disgusting people with words isn't shameful.
Who knows, the supreme ones might do it too. What's the big deal? "
"I'm not talking about whether it's shameful or not. It has no practical effect," said Hua Jianrou.
"How could it not?
He'll be afraid, "Ye Zichen shrugged.
"Don't forget what I said just now. I swear that if he beats me, I'll definitely kill him and his entire clan."
"You'll do it?"
"I won't, but he'll be afraid. He'll hold back," Ye Zichen squinted his eyes and smiled.
Ye Zichen squinted his eyes and smiled. "Because he doesn't understand me, so he has to believe that this is real!"
