Chapter 147 Threat!
Stepping out of the room, Chanis saw a black-haired youth standing in the open space downstairs, surrounded by people lying on the ground, groaning and clutching their bodies. The others surrounded the black-haired youth but dared not approach. Chanis immediately understood what had happened from this scene. This black-haired youth who had come to cause trouble was probably very powerful. The members of his clan were easily defeated, so the others were intimidated and dared not step forward.
[This level of strength is at least Iv2. Was it a recent general upgrade? Otherwise, I would have known!]
The opponent's strength made Chanis feel troubled. At this level, it would probably take a lot of money to deal with him, but he still smiled.
"Friend, I am Chanis, the leader of the Soma Familia. Some of my men are not following the proper etiquette, I apologize. May I ask what brings you here?"
"My name is Lin Yu, the leader of the Hestia Familia. I've come to see you to discuss the incident where members of your Familia attacked me in the dungeon."
Lin Yu made up a little story, since Chanis couldn't possibly know what had happened anyway.
"Friend, this may be a misunderstanding. If any member of our clan has accidentally offended you, we are willing to compensate you."
Just as I suspected, Chanis had already made plans to pay compensation.
"A misunderstanding? The day before yesterday in the dungeon, several members of your clan secretly placed bait behind me to attract monsters, clearly intending to kill me. Is that a misunderstanding?"
"I'm so sorry, I'm very sorry about this. They must have been bewitched, they...?"
'
"I killed him."
"They deserve it."
Chanis cursed inwardly a few times for being utterly useless. Not only did he choose the wrong person, but it also seemed that the person hadn't even caused any damage. He was utterly worthless!
"He certainly deserved it, but this matter can't be left like this."
"Of course, we are willing to compensate."
"Compensation? How do you plan to compensate me?"
"We are willing to pay ten million in compensation!"
Upon hearing Lin Yu inquire about the compensation plan, Chanis was overjoyed and immediately stated a figure that was extremely large for an Iv2.
[Interesting, he's asking for ten million right off the bat.]
Lin Yu was somewhat surprised to hear that Chanis offered ten million. For Lin Yu, ten million was nothing, but for ordinary adventurers, ten million was not a small number.
Even for a first-level adventurer, it would take some time to save up ten million, let alone for a low-level adventurer. The Soma Familia is just a small family. Although they have special products like Divine Wine, which are very profitable, the production volume is not large. In addition, they also drink Divine Wine themselves, so they are not much richer than other families of similar size.
Chanis asked for ten million, as if ten million was nothing. This money was definitely not from running a clan. Lin Yu remembered that Chanis seemed to have connections with the Dark Clan and participated in the heretics' smuggling. It seems that this job made him quite a bit of money.
"Ten million is a lot, but it's not enough for me!"
"Friend, don't go too far."
Chanis's face was somewhat grim. An ordinary Iv2 adventurer would risk his life every day to fight monsters and save money for at least several years to accumulate ten million. He thought that would be enough to appease this adventurer, but he did not expect that the other party was even more greedy than he had imagined and was unmoved by ten million.
"Is it excessive? I don't think so."
How many do you want?
Chanis took a deep breath and decided to compromise for the time being. It was just some money; he could earn more if he lost it. As for Lin Yu, he certainly wouldn't let it go so easily. Once he found out about this man, he would make him know the consequences of offending him.
"I want your entire Soma Familia to start a war game. If you lose, you will become a subordinate family of our Hestia Familia."
Lin Yu made a demand: "Impossible. Give me something practical."
Chanis refused without hesitation.
War games are of great importance; if one loses, the entire clan is finished. Lin Yu has shown great strength, and if he were to encounter a game like a duel, the chances of losing would be quite high. Chanis would rather lose more money than participate in such a risky war game.
"I've heard that you seem to be colluding with the remnants of the Dark Clan and are secretly smuggling monsters."
Chanis firmly refused Lin Yu's request, but Lin Yu calmly uttered a few words that immediately changed Chanis's expression.
"What did you say?"
Chanis's face was grim, and he subconsciously clenched his fists, exuding a strong killing intent. He was considering whether to take action directly and surround and kill Lin Yu here.
Compared to clan members harming adventurers, colluding with remnants of dark factions is undoubtedly far more serious.
The former would at most disband the clan and punish some members, but ultimately would not implicate him, because he pays close attention to such matters and rarely takes action himself, so there would be no direct evidence against him; at most, he would be expelled from Orario.
But the latter is different. The Dark Faction has caused extremely serious consequences in Orario, and countless people hate them to the bone. Even without evidence, as long as the guild gets the news, they will definitely investigate seriously. With the guild's capabilities, they will definitely be able to find something. You don't even need to think about how miserable his fate will be.
Although he wanted to surround and kill Lin Yu here, he still couldn't bring himself to do it. After all, the opponent was only a level 2, and if he wanted to escape, there was a good chance he could get away. Besides, this wasn't a desolate place. Making a big noise would definitely attract the attention of some people. Maybe someone was already watching this place. Taking action directly was not a good choice.
"You should know exactly what I'm saying, or do I need to say it out loud?"
Chanis remained silent; of course, he dared not let Lin Yu speak out loud.
"Choose: attack me or persuade your gods to agree to the war game."
Lin Yu looked at the gloomy-faced Chanis with complete confidence.
"Although I am the leader of the Soma Familia, I am not confident that I can persuade Soma to agree to the War Game."
Chanis loosened his clenched fist, ultimately giving up on the plan to kill Lin Yu. After all, why did Lin Yu dare to come here alone? Judging from his appearance, he probably had some backup plan. Too many uncertainties made Chanis hesitant to act rashly.
"That's your problem. Tomorrow at the Divine Assembly, I don't want Soma to refuse the War Game, otherwise you know the consequences."
"I understand, I will persuade Soma to agree."
Faced with Lin Yu's threat, Chanis clenched his fists again, but he had no choice but to agree to Lin Yu's demands.
"Then I'll wait for your good news."
Lin Yu smiled slightly, turned around and left.
Lin Yu was quite confident that Chanis could persuade Somo to agree to the war game.
Ultimately, Soma is not a god with a lot of ulterior motives like Loki or Freya, while Chanis is cunning and treacherous, and knows Soma very well, so he will definitely be able to find a way to get Soma to agree.
