Negotiation 1

"Ohh… you will answer any question I have for free, then I would overlook your transgression just now, but I hope you don't repeat the same mistake again, because there won't be second time." Merlin said eying the puppet to which he flinched and understood that he wasn't trading with a newbie.

"I assure you, it won't happen again." Silent reaper replied.

'He doesn't seem to be an arrogant person.' I said to merlin.

'He is being considerate because he hasn't found anything about us which he can use to his advantage, the moment we give him an opening, he won't hesitate to exploit us.' Merlin said.

"I will ask you the question later, first I want to know, what is the process to exchange information in your organization?" Merlin asked.

"I understand, Lets me summarize the process for you.

"The process is very simple, before asking any question you have to deposit a token in this bag which can be 500 gold coins or a rank 5 core.

After that you can ask the question and we will determine the remaining value of information which you have to pay before answering your question.

The price can be anything we mutually decide; it can be gold, high tier cores, information, there is another option for the members of genesis, in which they can undertake the mission assigned from genesis on whose successful completion, we will trade information with them.

If we don't have answer to your question, you can ask us another question but the token price you have paid cannot be refunded." Silent reaper retrieved a spatial bag from underneath the table and placed it in front of me.

'It is a universal storage bag.' Merlin said.

Normal storage crystal had the ability to store things inside them depending on the tier of magic crystal but the storage bag in front of me was a universal bag, which had many storage entry and exit points, in which non-living things can be stored and transferred from one place to another.

The thing which attracted our attention was not the storage bag but the possibility, because storage bags like this can only be prepared by rune masters.

"Do you have a rune master in your organization?" Merlin asked eying the storage bag.

"That information is highly classified and cannot be shared with you, please understand." Silent reaper said and merlin clicked his tongue because if there was another rune master working for them, our chances of bargaining would reduce exponentially.

"If you have any doubts regarding the process, you can ask me." Silent reaper said.

"I don't have any doubts but a request, I wonder if genesis can help me with that?" Merlin said.

"If it is within the power of genesis, we will surely help you." Silent reaper said.

"I want to create a new ID for myself; can Genesis help me with that?" Merlin said.

"Oh… that is a trivial matter for us, it won't be an issue, do you want to make a commoner Id or the id of a title holder?" Silent reaper asked.

"A baron's id would do." Merlin said.

"That would be 500, rank 6 cores." Silent reaper said.

"Why don't you rob me instead?" Merlin said and started emitting a golden glow from his body which made the whole room or precisely the runes inscribed in the room quake.

Silent reaper looked around the room and shook his head helplessly before saying.

"I am not trying to rob anyone Thunder emperor, but the situation in the outside world is worse than you think, this is the first time in history of planet amora that 3 heroes has infiltrated the planet at the same time and thus preparing a fake commoner ID is dreadful task, I am only accepting such task because of your status otherwise it is beneath me to handle such measly task." Silent reaper countered.

"Very well then." Merlin tried to act convinced and started unpacking the 500, rank 6 cores we have earned from the dimension pocket in front of silent reaper.

They were all rank 6 cores but inherently weaker, their strength was not even comparable to that of a rank 4 beast core from outside world.

Rank of a beast was decided on the basis of number of evolution he has gone through and every time a beast evolves a runic symbol would appear on his core stating his rank, which made easier for cores to get ranked.

The symbol on the core can be forged but there were many tools to identify the actual rank of core and one such tool was engraved on the storage bag of silent reaper which counted perfect 500, rank 6 cores.

"It would take at least half an hour before your Id is ready, why don't we have a nice chat by then and get to know each other." Silent reaper asked.

"What do you want to ask?" Merlin said.

"The reason earl jabel recommended us and not his own faction." He is a good listener I nodded but I had prepared an excuse beforehand.

Without his instruction merlin placed his hand on the truth orb and spoke in a serious tone.

"He did pursue me into joining his demon princess faction, but the one thing I hate the most in this world is those who are in close relation with demon king lucifer, thus I rejected his offer and that is why I want to ask you something before disclose my real reason to approach genesis." Merlin said.

"What would that be?" Silent reaper asked.

"Is genesis associated with demon king, resistance force or any other faction?" Merlin asked because his answer will determine our future involvement with genesis.

"You are one tough customer, to tell you the truth I don't know, the important decision regarding genesis affairs are taken by votes of us 6 upper echelon members and even we don't know each other's identity but if I have to give you an answer, genesis doesn't belong to any faction." He concluded.

'Is he telling the truth?' Merlin asked.

'Yes' I said.

Even if merlin's soul was controlling my body, he didn't feel that heating sensation when some lied to him which proved that my lie detector ability was an soul based ability and it didn't had anything to with my body thus I have to verify facts for merlin.

"I will trust for you now." Merlin said and silent reapers eyes widened in surprise.

"Thank you for trusting my words." Silent reaper said.

"I would like to utilize my chance of asking free question." Merlin said.

"Very well, you can ask the question." Silent reaper approved.

"The reason I have come to genesis is to know, how can I reach the beast continent the fastest way possible?" Merlin asked precise question.
