Chapter 676: 231. Emphasizing once again, making full use of everything is really a virtue! [Request for monthly ticket 6/10]_3

Maxim had never seen such an unusual short blade.

It was clearly designed to imitate an eagle’s claw, a recurve blade with a ring at the end, quite an odd sight. Doris wielded it on her fingers with the dexterity of a butterfly flitting between flowers.

She quickly noticed Maxim’s gaze and casually tossed him the blade with its beautiful black damask, a result of a special tempering process. The vampire warrior took it in his hands.

"Nice weapon, isn’t it? Perfect for an assassin. I saw some mountain blacksmiths making similar ones in the camp and immediately ordered fifty for my underlings.

I call it ’Ratclaw’, the new emblem of the Blood Rat Gang."

Doris stated, her hands on her hips, then leaned in to speak to Maxim in a low voice.

"You run the fight club, tonight’s the opening night of the second gladiator match. Aren’t you going back to the city to supervise personally?"

"I have more important tasks. Besides, you’ve promised to manage it well. If you can’t do that, it proves you’re useless! In Murphy’s Transylvania, those who lack value don’t survive long.

The Master’s kindness is a virtue of those in power, regretfully, I don’t have it."

In Maxim’s hands, the blade whistled through the air as he made a few combat maneuvers. He was very pleased with this wicked weapon. He could already imagine it slashing his enemy’s throat and casually stuck it in his tactical bag at his waist.

He looked up at Doris,

"Speak, what task do you have?"

"A strange one."

Doris shrugged and spoke in a low voice to Maxim.

"Several warriors from the Lord’s residence contacted me. They want me to help them with something.

They brought along a weird Wolf-person, saying that it’s a new servant accepted by Lord Murphy. They want me to sell them the experienced wolf gladiators at a low price, to form a clan for the thin talking wolf people.

I don’t know what the Earl means.

But this has never been done in Transylvania, so I took the opportunity of receiving the gladiators to ask you.

I heard that you’re the person Lord Murphy trusts the most. Maybe you can explain the deeper meaning of this to me?"

"The warriors of Lord Morphy are absolutely loyal, you don’t have to doubt them. If they say it’s the lord’s command, you just follow it."

Maxim shrugged and said,

"If the lord thinks you shouldn’t know, then there’s no need to ask me."

"But in fact, I’m not really interested in the truth, I just want to shift the blame."

Doris shrugged, speaking bluntly,

"Look, I reported to you, so if any problems arise, it’s not on me. That’s the rule of survival for us underground types."

"Such cunning, not very befitting of a warrior."

Maxim waved his hand, adding,

"But it doesn’t concern me really, I am just temporarily taking care of you all. Once Adel comes back, you’ll be her problem. What’s the situation at the third level of the sewers currently?"

"The usual."

Doris frowned and said,

"All the fearless warriors have come to exterminate the wolf people. No one is dealing with the ghouls at the third level who are roaming around and occasionally surge up to the second level. That’s the second reason I came to find you.

I hope you can assign some veterans to form a defense line on the second level.

The recruits under me are all novices, it’s a little difficult to ask them to deal with the ghouls."

"As I said, those without value won’t survive."

Maxim said coldly,

"I’ll give you thirty veterans, but they will only be in defense. Cleaning up the ghouls is your Blood Rat Gang’s task, you must find a way to get it done! All the ghoul leaders underground have already been cleaned up by us. What is left are merely scattered soldiers.

If you guys can’t even handle this, what right do you have to serve Lord Morphy?"

"Ah.."

Doris was taken aback by Maxim’s arrogant attitude. She asked,

"But shouldn’t loyalty be rewarded? I’m just asking for help, I can’t do this..."

"Reward? Loyalty itself is the best reward you could ever receive!"

Maxim interrupted her,

"You need to find a way to complete your tasks! There’s no room for negotiation. If you really don’t know how, why not ask the warriors for assistance since they are also requesting yours?

But be careful.

If you can’t offer them the rewards they deserve, the result won’t be great."

"?"

Doris blinked. She seemed to understand Maxim’s meaning.

Several hours later, near the Blood Rat Gang’s base in the sewers of Crimson Castle, just around the start time of the weekly gladiator competition, Doris arrived, toying with her claw blade. In front of her were Reed and Lumina.

She said,

"If you want those elite gladiators who survived three rounds, I can give them to you, without even asking for money. But as you can see, I’m short of manpower, and Lord Murphy wants us to deal with the ghouls in the third level underground...

This troubles me."

The cunning thief laid her hand on the bead in front of her chest, blinked at the two players before her, and said,

"So, how about we cut a deal?"
