Getting more workers

The meeting went just about as Lex expected. The mercenary group was, as they stated, quite a popular one, even if they were expensive. As long as they were paid, they would do as asked.

Lex was extremely wealthy, with all the resources of the Midnight realm at his disposal but that didn't mean he would be wasteful with it. By handing over looting rights he could reduce the cost of hiring them, and besides that he intended to recoup all his investments by taking from his enemies.

The devil and angel were, by comparison, not the most influential nor the most powerful among their race. But according to Velma's research, they were the ones that Lex could most easily come to an agreement with.

With all the homework done for him, it was fairly simple to land the deal. Lex was now beginning to consider that instead of a programmer, he should have been a salesman.
