Chapter 156 Deliberation and Planning
"I'm very sorry, but we can't fully agree to your request." The man with a prosthetic eye said hoarsely, "We can only give you information related to Charles, but there is nothing we can do about the assassination for the time being."
"can."
Li Shanren nodded, not surprised.
What happened at the slave auction a few days ago must have severely damaged the strength of this assassin organization. They should be dormant during this period and will not make any bigger actions.
Refusing to assist in the assassination was a matter of course.
"Do you two have anything else to do?" the man asked.
"If you have collected useful information, how will you pass it on to us?" Li Shanren knocked on the table and asked.
"The collection of intelligence may take some time. By then, someone will naturally contact you." The man said slowly, "Since you two have chosen to be enemies of the slave forces, you are our friends. I just hope that you can really As you said, and then do something that can be recognized by us, if there is nothing else, you two can leave."
After the words fell, Li Shanren and Wei Luo looked at each other, then stood up and left silently.
On the way back, Wei Luo stared at the dark alley and suddenly said: "They still don't trust us."
"Well, that's normal. Few people would easily trust two people who don't know the details."
Li Shanren looked very calm.
"So they are only willing to provide intelligence help and will not interfere more deeply in our affairs. At the same time, this is also a test for us. It is good to get their help, at least they do not shut us out."
Wei Luo didn't answer.
In the past few days, I don't know what Wei Luo did to this assassin organization to get them to sit down and negotiate with the two of them peacefully, but the result seemed to make him not satisfied.
The two returned to the Horsen Hotel together.
The front desk was still empty.
If Li Shanren hadn't occasionally heard his boss in the corridor outside asking if the hot water supply was normal during the past few nights, he would have thought that his boss had disappeared.
Back in his room, after Li Shanren washed up, he lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling of the hotel, stared blankly, and began to think.
As determined by previous analysis, he did not intend to be led by the slave trader Charles.
After negotiating with Charles at that time, the words "I will raise money" he said were just an excuse to avoid breaking up with the other party.
In fact, Li Shanren was not prepared to use ransom to redeem the five children in Charles' hands.
And he also suspected that Charles's purpose of meeting him was not for a mere thousand gold ruso.
The other party has other agendas.
But Li Shanren thought about it for two days and passed through many strange ideas in his mind, but he was still unable to determine the other party's true intention.
It can only be said that there is an idea that the other party's target may be himself.
After all, Charles was a slave trader, dedicated to obtaining quality slaves.
Maybe Li Shanren would be a high-quality slave in his eyes.
The starting point of this suspicion lies in the loan treaty introduced by Charles.
Although he had not read the contents, Li Shanren believed that it was probably a high-interest loan contract. Once he could not repay, he would become a slave again because of the power of the contract.
Moreover, Charles admitted that the treaty was shown to Tifa, but Tifa did not choose to sign it.
This suggests that Charles may have the same thoughts about Tifa.
So the question is, in Charles’s eyes, is Tifa a high-quality slave?
Most likely.
First of all, judging from appearance alone, Tifa undoubtedly has the capital to sell at a high price.
Secondly, from the perspective of strength, as an elite martial artist, Tifa is not weak. At the same time, according to Li Shanren's understanding, with Tifa's talent, it is only a matter of time before she breaks through to the gold level.
Therefore, if Tifa can be captured, with her beautiful appearance and the potential to become a gold-level transcendent, she will definitely be able to create a beautiful gimmick.
If some resources were spent to allow Tifa to officially break through to the gold level, her worth could increase several times.
I believe that those nobles are quite happy to spend a lot of money on a beautiful gold-level martial artist.
Bringing such a female escort to various occasions is quite eye-catching no matter where you are.
To buy such a female slave, the money required must be more than a mere five hundred gold ruso...
Li Shanren stared at the ceiling and pondered silently.
If he were Charles, what methods should he use to take down Tifa?
The first step was to test her importance to the five children by quoting a price that the other party obviously couldn't afford. During the test, she showed a tough attitude and said that there was no possibility of lowering the price.
If the other party hears the price and turns away, then the plan ends here.
If the other party hesitates about the price, they will insist on redeeming the person even after hearing this price.
Then, you can proceed to the next step - apply pressure.
Put a time limit on redeeming people.
If this time passes, the ransom will rise or the person will be sold directly to other buyers.
Raising money for the other party increases the sense of urgency.
The third step is to bring a sense of urgency and provide another easier option - borrowing.
Present a loan agreement that is clearly unacceptable.
When the other party sees the treaty for the first time, he will definitely not sign it, but this treaty will plant a seed in his heart.
As time goes by, the other party will gradually feel pressure due to time constraints and difficulties in raising money.
At this point, all you need to do is appear in front of the other party again and present a loan agreement with relatively loose conditions.
Then, there is a certain probability that the other party will sign.
If the other party refuses again, repeat the second and third steps until the psychological defense is completely broken and the treaty is finally signed.
At this point, the goal is achieved and the plan is over. All we have to do is wait for the other party to gradually be unable to pay back the money because they ignored certain details in the treaty, and eventually become a slave under the influence of the power of the contract.
But for this plan to be successful, there is only one key point - how much Tifa cares about those five children.
Similarly, if Charles plans to replicate this set on Li Shanren, then there is only one key point.
Thinking of this, Li Shanren slowly recovered his thoughts, and his eyes gradually regained their brightness.
"To deal with the people in this world, the only way is to make your heart as dirty as theirs, or even... dirtier than theirs." He said softly.
No matter how correct this guess is, Li Shanren has no intention of falling into Charles's trap.
He was prepared to use strong force to get people back.
After all, compared to two months ago, he is no longer the homeless man who can only huddle in a dark alley and struggle to survive.
Of course, robbing people also requires careful tactics. It is impossible to just raid Charles' villa with a staff, seize the person, and threaten the slave trader to hand over the five children.
If Charles was a hypocritical fool, there would be nothing wrong with this.
There is no need to wait until today, Li Shanren could have done this at the negotiating table.
But during the negotiation at the coffee table that day, Charles's performance undoubtedly showed one thing. He had unknown means of saving his life.
That's why he dared to reveal his fatal flaw without restraint.
So Li Shanren suppressed the idea of drawing a sword and chop the dog's head off, and decided to take it easy first, and then slowly plan.
The primary purpose of negotiating with the assassin organization is to obtain their intelligence support. Of course, if the other party is willing to send people to help, that would be best.
If you don't want to, that's to be expected.
However, for Li Shanren, there is still a key issue that needs to be solved urgently——
Is control of the slave mark still in Tifa's hands?
If Tifa loses control of the slave mark, then Li Shanren must kill Charles and regain control of the slave mark in order to actually rescue the five children, which will undoubtedly make it more difficult to save people.
If Tifa had not lost control of the slave mark, then it would not matter whether Charles died or not as far as rescuing the child was concerned.
Li Shanren can calmly deal with the slave merchant after ensuring the safety of the people he cares about.
Then, he can come up with a dozen insidious ways to make the greedy slave trader pay the price.
Now, for Li Shanren, in terms of priority, successfully rescuing the five children is far higher than retaliating against Charles.
Therefore, while waiting for the Assassin organization to transmit information, Li Shanren decided to go to the ruins in the west to find Tifa and confirm the issue of control of the slave seal before taking the next step.
With Li Shanren's promise to "raise money", Charles will not do anything excessive to the five children in the short term. Instead, he may take good care of the children and use this as an excuse to further raise funds. price and reasonably demand more ransom.
At the same time, the four children in the hands of the big slave businessman Lorante Fisk may also need to be rescued by Li Shanren using strong methods. At that time, Tifa's assistance will be indispensable.
"Have a good sleep and leave for the ruins tomorrow."
Li Shanren thought so and slowly closed his eyes.
That ruins were half a day's journey from Olin City, and he didn't want to drag his exhausted body there and then be killed by unknown dangers while in a daze.
If you return to the rebirth point of Farm City because of this, it will be a very torture.
God knows if it takes him a few more days to rush back to Olin City, something irreparable will happen to Tifa and the children.
