I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 700 Allies or Enemies?
The atmosphere became a little tense.

There was already a hint of dissatisfaction on Yunshan's face. Sean's appetite was bigger than he had imagined.

This kid... is too greedy!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "My dear friend, if my Yun family didn't provide information, it would be very difficult for you to find other hidden families. It's not that I look down on you, but those hidden families are all hiding deep inside. Moreover, I'm sure you know that the news about you has spread to the ears of various families, and I'm afraid they will be more cautious."

Sean just shrugged indifferently, then slumped down in his chair without any image, and said lazily:

"Brother Yun, let's talk about this from another angle. Your Yun family is naturally powerful, and there is no need to elaborate on your strength. Your Yun family will not even take the small families that I can deal with seriously."

"But, you know the specific locations of those hidden families, but you haven't thought of annexing them over the years?"

Yunshan's face froze for a moment, and then he said in deep thought: "The various hidden families had reached an agreement thousands of years ago that they would never attack each other unless it was a critical moment of life and death. You may think I am hypocritical when I say this, but my Yun family has some reputation among the hidden families. If we take the initiative to attack others, it will be unacceptable both morally and in terms of face."

Sean sneered, "Brother Yun, some things don't sound right when they are said by the person involved. You said that I might think you are hypocritical because you don't want others to think you are hypocritical. In fact, you are hypocritical to the extreme."

Yunshan's thoughts were exposed by Sean's words, and his face immediately turned ugly.

Sean continued to talk to himself, "You came here to discuss the profit sharing, and it's too boring to talk about these things. Brother Yun, don't say that I, as your younger brother, didn't remind you that the outside world is different from your paradise. Here, we have to eat people, small people, big people, thin people, fat people, as long as we can eat, we can eat as much as we want."

He chuckled, "Since your Yun family can't do anything openly, you let me, the villain, do it to the end. Actually, there is no problem. We all know it. However, I am the villain and I have done all the hard work, but your Yun family just opens its mouth and asks for a share. Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is really unethical."

Yunshan frowned and said in a deep voice: "But, the Yun family can provide you..."

Sean interrupted directly, "I know, providing location information. So here comes the question, you gave me a lot of information before, such as the other three large families of similar size to the Yun family. What was the name of one of them, Kronos, right?"

Yunshan narrowed his eyes slightly: "This is a reminder. Don't blame me for not making it clear, my friend. The Kronos family is not the persimmons you squeezed before."

Sean blinked and said, "I know."

Yunshan frowned: "So you still want to attack them?"

Sean was happy: "Who said I was going to take advantage of them? I am a very honest person! If they can't beat me, I will rob them. If they can beat me, I will negotiate. If the Yun family provides some information, they want a share. So why don't I go and talk to the Kronos family? We are all the same. We know it clearly, right?"

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of Yunshan and Yunxian, father and son, suddenly became complicated.

Originally, they were still suspicious of Sean and only revealed the information of a few large families. Their original intention was to test Sean. Unexpectedly, Sean's sharpness was beyond their imagination... This put the Yun family in a dilemma.

Moreover, what Sean said was correct. Everyone has the same expression and they all know it in their hearts.

If Sean came to discuss the matter of annexing the small family with the other three major families, Yunshan was very sure that the patriarchs of those families would definitely accept the proposal.

Due to the constraints of face and the agreement made a thousand years ago, these big families are unable to make a move, but those small families that have a lot of resources are really enviable.

Yunshan was envious, and naturally the other clan leaders were also envious.

He remained calm on the surface and tried to fight for it again.

"What you said is indeed correct, but other families will not trade fairly with you. Their asking price will only be higher than that of the Yun family."

Sean shrugged nonchalantly: "It's high, so what? If someone is high, then someone is low. If someone is low, I can also take the initiative to be high, right?"

Yunshan's expression froze and he suddenly got a headache.

This is the most crucial issue. The Yun family needs help from others, which means that the biggest handle is still in Sean's hands...

I was in a hurry... but I was controlled by Sean...

At this moment, the father and son were filled with remorse, but they could not show it on their faces. They just felt like they had eaten a dead mouse.

Sean drank his tea slowly. He never had the idea of ​​keeping the golden goose for laying eggs. For him, killing the goose to get the eggs was the norm.

What about the relationship with the Yun family, what about Yunshan’s concerns? When he is strong enough, this cyber swordsman can go to meet his cyber ancestor.

Now you are begging me and want to get a piece of the pie from me?

Just dream about it, that's more realistic.

Sean has always been like this. He will definitely maximize the benefits he can get.

Seeing that Yunshan and his son were already looking unhappy, he yawned nonchalantly: "I originally thought that Brother Yun came here with sincerity, but now it seems that I was overthinking it. Tsk tsk tsk, boring, boring, I treated people with sincerity, but got such an ending, too boring, I'd better find something more interesting to do."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "I won't see you off, but don't worry, even if the deal doesn't go through, we still have our friendship. In the future, when the Yun family comes to the empire, they still don't need to inform us, just come in and have some tea."

Who the hell cares about your sip of tea?

Yunshan couldn't help but feel angry, but the whereabouts of Dragon Feast was still unknown, so he couldn't vent his anger.

If I had known this, I would not have discussed it... Now, if I continue to discuss it, the information I provided can only be regarded as so-called "sincerity".

Yunshan and his son were annoyed. They looked at each other. Yunshan said with all his strength, "My friend, you are wrong. But the Yun family is not a one-man show. Some things must be decided after consultation with the clan members. To show my sincerity, I will first give you the specific information of a hidden family. For the rest... give me two days, and then I will discuss with you. How about that?"

Sean curled his lips and said, "Brother Yun, I've been very busy lately and don't have much time to play this pulling game with you."

Yun Shan forced a smile and said, "Of course I understand... Yun Xian."

Yun Xian lowered his head and handed a scroll to Sean.

"This is my sincere token of appreciation. I hope you will accept it."

Sean looked at it for a while, and finally took it reluctantly, and then said: "Brother, this is all because of our personal relationship. I took it. You have tribesmen, and I also have companions and leaders. It’s hard to explain without something. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer in two days."

"Of course."

Yunshan and his son left with great anger, and only then did Moza and others who had been eavesdropping nearby come out.

Looking at the direction where the two were going, Moza couldn't help but shook his head: "Still thinking about eating meat from big brother's mouth, daydreaming..."

Sean threw the scroll to Moza: "Take people over. Although one family is few, it's better than none." Moza took it and nodded, and then said: "Since the Yun family gave it to us, it means they are not worried that we will find out the news of other hidden families from this family. Otherwise, it will snowball like the previous few families. He wants these two days, just to seize the time to gather those panicked small families. By then, I'm afraid there won't be much meat in the information he gives us."

Xiao En smiled casually: "We can see what Yunshan is thinking at a glance, let them gather together, saving us the trouble, we will eat them together anyway."

He stretched himself, moved his body, and said with a smile:

"The Yun family does theirs, and we do ours. We won't affect each other, and we can collect them together in the end to maximize efficiency. However, the ultimate goal is still the same, to kill that old man Yunshan. In order to achieve this goal, we need a little help."

Luo Xi frowned. "Help? Do you want to win over those hidden families? But if we put the Yun family and us on the same level, I'm afraid those hidden families will eventually side with the Yun family. After all, we are both hidden families, and we know each other well."

Sean shook his head mysteriously: "Of course we can't join forces with the hidden family, but we have other ways."

"Other ways? If we don't count the hidden families, there is no force in the outside world that can compete with the Empire and Paradise City, right? Do we have to find another continent?" Luo Xi was puzzled.

Sean just narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who said it has to be from here?"

……

In the huge pit, a scarlet withered giant tree stood quietly.

Shi GanDang, the chief of the Stoneheart tribe, stood on the edge of the huge pit. From where he stood, he could only see some red light at the bottom.

"Chief, after so long, we have finally gathered all the sacrifices. I believe that after offering these sacrifices, my mother will be able to recover a lot." There was some expectation in the tone of the great elder.

Shi Gandang also nodded: "I hope so, but the Lord God's Envoy said before that we should collect the sacrifices. But he didn't say whether he should preside over the sacrificial ceremony after the sacrifices are collected?"

The Great Elder thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "The last time the Lord God's Messenger appeared was to resolve the crisis of our tribe. He also specifically instructed that we should not call him unless it was urgent... and we have been collecting sacrifices for a long time, but the Lord God's Messenger did not appear at that time... I guess the Lord God's Messenger came to complete other important tasks for my mother, right?"

Shi Gan Dang pondered and said, "You mean, there is no need to call the Lord God's Messenger?"

The Great Elder nodded: "Last time, the Lord God's Messenger taught us a lot of rituals, and he never came back... What he meant was that we should do things as usual... Besides, there are no special requirements for the sacrificial ceremony, so it seems that there is no need to invite him back, right?"

"That makes sense..."

Shi Gandang finally made the decision: "Prepare all the items needed for the ceremony. Tomorrow morning, when the first stone rolls down from the dome, we will offer the sacrifice to our mother."

"Yes, patriarch."

Little did they know that Sean had seen everything that the two were discussing.

Sean floated in the air, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

In the later part of the game's plot, the Stoneheart people, who originally regarded him as a messenger of God, changed their previous attitude and directly regarded Sean as their mortal enemy.

All of this is because of the Mother of Corruption in the shape of a collapsed world tree in the deep pit.

The Mother of Corruption is gradually reviving, and Her hostility towards Sean is already clear.

But this has always been a point of confusion for Sean.

Previously, the Mother of Corruption claimed to be Sean's old friend, and asked Sean to temporarily take over the power of faith of the Stoneheart people.

To be honest, the reason Sean is so powerful now is also closely related to the Stoneheart people's devout prayers.

The problem is that after the Mother of Corruption woke up, she became hostile to Sean. The game plot did not explain in detail why, and Sean did not understand why a person who was always hostile to him would temporarily give him the power of faith?
There's no reason to strengthen your enemies...

And now, Sean vaguely smelled something wrong.

The resurrection of the Mother of Corruption and the sacrifice of the Stoneheart people, Sean in the game did not appear at the scene.

Now, Sean suspects that something went wrong in the process.

Is it possible that the old friend who had communicated with Sean in the past... was not the mother of corruption?

Sean did not forget that there was a red lake in the tree hole of the fallen World Tree, and it seemed that there was something extremely terrifying hidden in the depths of the lake.

If we make reasonable inferences based on all the things that are wrong, then there is a possibility.

The Mother of Corruption is not Sean's old friend, but a being in the depths of the Red Lake. She has somehow taken away the power of this sacrifice and taken over the power of the sacrifice...

If this is the case, then the unreasonableness can be clearly explained.

"This is the greatest possibility... If this is true, I must intervene. This way, not only can I prevent the Mother of Corruption from waking up, but I can also gain an ally for me... The only question is whether the awakening of the Mother of Corruption can be prevented..."

Sean clearly remembered that there were very few plots related to the Mother of Corruption in the game. The only thing that was certain was that no matter which route he took, the Mother of Corruption would be revived and eventually become Sean's opponent in the plot BOSS battle.

"There might be some danger in this... Tsk, let me think about it..."

……

On the second day, all the Stoneheart people knelt in the central square, with their eyes closed and the palms of their hands against the ground.

There was a slight sound coming from above his head, and the clan leader Shi Gandang immediately opened his eyes: "The first stone has fallen, and we are ready to start the sacrificial ceremony."

"Yes, patriarch!"

Many tree people were imprisoned in cages and pushed out. Most of the tree people near the Sunken Port and Paradise City were captured by the Stoneheart People and taken underground.

This group of tree people didn't know what was going to happen yet, they just tried to shout loudly to interrupt what was about to happen.

However, anyone who caused trouble would have his throat cut immediately.

The ceremony is about to begin, and the sacrifices are all going to die.
