The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 873 Negotiate



"Yes! I'm here to rescue the hostages. Where are they?" Daniel asked.

"Oh, so you want the hostages? Hahaha..."

Dog burst into laughter, his expression turning cold. "Since you're here to rescue them, that makes things easy! I'll show you the hostages now!" Without missing a beat, Dog turned and shouted, "Bring out the hostages!"

As soon as his words fell, a dozen burly men emerged, escorting five hostages. They all had guns pointed at the hostages' heads.

The five individuals looked disheveled, all wearing hoods. However, their expressions were vacant, resembling soulless shells as if their very essence had been stripped away. Daniel instantly realized the grim truth.NôvelDrama.Org content.

Their souls were gone!

The large men were mercenaries who had likely lost their souls to Dog, who now controlled their bodies. They had no consciousness of their own; they would do whatever Dog commanded.

Dog pointed at the five hostages, a smug expression on his face as he said to Daniel, “You bastard, I've brought out the hostages. How about we negotiate a deal?"

“Negotiate a deal?" Daniel replied, smirking. "What kind of deal?"

"It's simple: If you want to save these five hostages, you can! But you must offer your life in exchange! One life for five; it's a deal you can't pass up!" Dog proposed.

"Exchange one life for five? Is this a negotiation, Dog? My soul can only trade for one ghost. If you take all five souls, you'll end up with five ghosts! So, you're trying to con me!"

"Con you? How am I conning you? For one life to exchange for five? That's a fantastic deal! I'm doing you a favor, and you dare accuse me of trickery? You bastard, you really don't know how lucky you are!" Dog exclaimed with mock hurt. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"I'm saying I'm not falling for your trickery, Dog know your plans all too well. If give you my life, you won't let a single one of those hostages go! So, in order for me to agree to this deal, we need to set some fair conditions to ensure this trade is equitable! After all fairness is the foundation for any negotiation!” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"You bastard! You need to realize that the five hostages are in my hands! So, you're not in a position to negotiate with me! You'll do as I say! But since you're a dead man walking, I can give you a chance to say your last words. State your terms if you must," Dog said, looking at Daniel with a curious glint in his eyes, eager to see what this little troublemaker would propose.

"My terms are simple: Let the five hostages go first. If you release them, I'll willingly accept whatever fate you have in store for me!"
