Chapter 88: Deal
It was true. He hadn’t initially planned to sell that information to anyone. But Life wasn’t like the others. She was sharp, and more importantly, trustworthy, or as close as you could get in this kind of environment. And if she was already investing half a million Dollars to delay the public release, then she clearly saw the same potential he did.
She exhaled slowly, weighing the offer. "Tch. I’ll admit... if what you say is true, that kind of head start could be worth it."
"So, are we making a deal?" Yone asked, smiling faintly.
"I’ll take both," she said, folding her arms. "Luxury and super-luxury. Just make sure it’s worth my money."
Yone grinned. "You won’t regret it."
The main reason Yone chose to offer this exclusive intel to Life was simple: there was no conflict of interest between them. Iron Fang, the Guild she belonged to, had its foundation rooted not in Golden Card City but in the capital? That’s not even close to happening right now.
Sooner or later, she would need to shift her operations there to continue growing her power. By extending this goodwill now, Yone was investing in a future favor that could pay off handsomely.
The competition within Golden Card City was bound to intensify. If a major Guild decided to suppress his development while he was knee-deep in critical quests and upgrades, having someone like Life in his corner could serve as a reliable backup. Based on her character, Yone was confident that she would help if the need ever arose.
There was also a secondary, more tactical motivation behind his actions...diversion.
The brightest lights draw the most attention.
