The three conditions proposed by Orrick... have a lot of room for maneuver.
It's just right on the bottom line of Wulaoxing's compromise. It's not too extreme, but it's not that easy either.
First of all, let’s not mention the release of Li Ruisk. To be honest, it would be difficult for the Five Old Stars to kill Li Ruisk now. There are only so many normal Tianlong people in existence, and one less person will be killed.
Secondly, no action can be taken against Orik within a year.
This is a very subtle wording.
There is no doubt that Orric will make big moves in the next year and needs to act covertly. White Star's accidental exposure is not part of his plan, and it is also the biggest reason for him to come to negotiate terms this time.
Finally, a scholar who can read ancient texts.
If anyone else said this, it would be ridiculous. In order to block the ancient forbidden knowledge, the world government even sent a navy demon-slaying order to wipe out the archaeological holy land of O'Hara in the West Sea, and placed a bounty of 75 million beli on an eight-year-old child. Why did they Do you want to keep scholars who can understand this knowledge
However, combined with the previous "completion", Ron knew that the secrets that the world government strictly guarded had two sides.
You can neither let others discover the truth nor let yourself forget it.
These three conditions are like rip-offs at tourist attractions, with an unreasonable maximum price and a minimum price that is equivalent to giving it away to locals.
The measurement requires both parties to play a psychological game and find a balance point.
However, thinking about it this way, Orick has succeeded!
Ron could see that the five old stars were already moved, even Vic, as long as Orric could come up with a "price" that met their needs.
Hearing this, Orric took a sip from the teacup and said calmly: "First of all, I suppressed Princess Bai Xing's rampage. As soon as I let go of this suppression, it will inevitably bring disaster to the sea. That is definitely not what you want to see. situation!”
"This is also a situation you don't want to see!"
Ron sneered when he heard this: "A content that will not end well for you and me is not a bargaining chip. Do you have the guts to let go of the suppression and let her destroy the world?"
"But my loss is not as big as yours, isn't it?!"
Orric seemed to know what Ron would say, and chuckled: "The most I can do is lose my ambition and linger in this world destroyed by ancient weapons, waiting for the end to come."
"And you will lose everything!"
The fish is dead and the net is broken, which is also the difference between whether the fish is valuable and whether the net is expensive.
"I hereby promise that I will never use Neptune anywhere else. If I do, that will be the day I officially declare war on you!"
Wu Laoxing was silent after hearing this. After a moment, they looked at each other and nodded.
"Indeed, this promise is one of the bargaining chips, but it is not enough!"
The bearded Five Old Star looked directly at him with a cold expression: "You still have something in your hand. I think it's time to give it to us, Orric!"
Orric raised his eyebrows: "...Oh? What is it?"
"Pure gold!"
The Five Old Stars of the Mediterranean stood up and shouted in a deep voice: "Hand over the pure gold you found. It's useless for you to keep it all. Pure gold is not a devil fruit and cannot give people strong power at all!"
Pure...gold...? ! ! !
Under Ron's gaze, Orric's eyelids twitched inaudibly, he picked up the tea cup to hide the speechlessness on his face, and glanced at him seemingly casually.
"Oh? Wasn't the pure gold found by General Canglong? Why did you ask me for it?"
"Stop pretending to be deaf and dumb!"
The five old stars of the Mediterranean were very angry: "Canglong recorded the entire treasure hunting process on video, but what they found was fake! And before that, according to our investigation, it was the ship you were on that blew up one eye of the giant lantern fish. ”
The consistent smell of the wreckage, coupled with the sighting reports on Korkra Island, connected various clues, all pointing to Orik.
"Are you trying to say that you don't know anything? Orric!!"
The problem is, that’s really not me!
Orric's mouth twitched crazily.
He just wanted to use the legend of pure gold to attract the attention of the navy and the government. Because he knew about the existence of those with the ability to smell the Niffing Fruit, he sent that guy to show up with Sugar to act.
When he heard that the ship left a "last message" before it sank, saying that it encountered a giant lantern fish, Orric himself didn't believe it.
However, things were such a "coincidence". Later, Ron's Qilin encountered a giant lantern fish and was swallowed in one bite.
At that time, Orrick was thinking that if it were him, he would definitely not let go of this God-given opportunity.
The result was "as expected", Ron found pure gold "as expected", and now it was "without a doubt" confirmed to be false.
So the pure gold was fake from the beginning, Canglong must have tampered with it!
So you tell me, what should I do
Orric silently turned his gaze and looked at Ron with interest.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand how he did it or if he can't produce evidence. As long as this matter is exposed, it will be a heavy blow to him!
The choice is mine. Do you think I should directly reveal your true identity and make you withdraw from this stage
But what disappointed him was that Ron didn't show any panic on his face. Instead, he pouted in boredom and blew out a smoke ring with a "pop" sound.
Seeing this, Orric's eyes became serious.
Indeed, he doesn't want to do this!
Because of Ron's existence, he dared to confront Wulaoxing boldly, because he knew that as long as Ron existed for a day, when Wulaoxing relaxed his vigilance, this poisonous snake would reveal its hideous appearance and pour venom into .
Once Ron is gone, the Five Old Stars will no longer have this worry that even they themselves are not aware of. They will face the world government in its heyday with a fragile and barren attitude.
It can be said that one of the great motivations supporting Orric's ambition is that he understood Ron's ambition through Lirisk's various exchanges with him.
This is a mutually reinforcing result.
Just when he secretly gritted his teeth and decided to give up this God-given opportunity, Ron suddenly said: "The matter is urgent, so don't make fun of us, Orric."
"Um?"
Everyone turned around and looked at him in confusion.
"I am a lightning person and can indirectly see magnetic fields, so any metal is invisible to me, especially if it is carried in my pocket without any interference from biomagnetic fields."
"Could it be that… "
Orrick was startled and reached for his pocket with his backhand. The exaggerated movement made him almost fall off the sofa, but Orrick could no longer care about that at this moment.
When his fingers touched the cold circle, his eyes froze.
"when?!"
"When I was communicating with you on the elevator."
Ron smiled and made a pun.
"Now that you're sitting down, sit still."
Seeing this scene, Orik smiled and gritted his teeth with an ugly expression.
"Haha, thank you for your concern!"
"You are welcome!"
