Chapter 1576 Seeking Justice
At the Luxor Group headquarters, Luxor Luxor was looking at the report with a gloomy expression.

First-hand intelligence is the key to victory, but it is also a sharp knife. The battle for the King of Atlantis in World D has come to an end, and he immediately learned the answer from the gossip of strangers.

The chaebol alliance lost.

This is not surprising, if he thought he could win, he would not appear here, but would join the fight for the King of Atlantis in the fleet of the Zaibatsu Alliance.

Atlantis is an incredible fortune, but the inheritance of those wealthy tycoons who have accumulated it over a long period of time is also a considerable income.

If the chaebol alliance wins the title of King of Atlantis, he, as a member of the chaebol alliance, can surrender and gain benefits. If the chaebol alliance loses, he can be the first to swallow up the leaderless chaebol.

Leaving a way out for everything and choosing a path that will never lead to failure is the way to sustain long-term operations.

Judging from the results, it was right for him not to go. The realm where the King of Atlantis was was too high and the risk was too great. Even if he was absolutely sure, he might become just a wave in it.

But the question is how much was lost.

What he hoped for was a complete defeat. It would be best if even the blessed ones would be completely destroyed. Only in this way would it be easier to annex them. Of course, there was also an unrealistic wishful thinking that both sides would suffer losses.

Luke held his head and frowned. The battle for the King of Atlantis was much more terrible than he had imagined. The spies planted in the fleet of the Financial Alliance had all [betrayed] him in order to fight for the position of King of Atlantis, so he could not obtain any specific intelligence.

Especially regarding the former members of Azazel and Naylan Abyssion, this group is the only variable and also an unstable bomb.

dong dong dong-

There was a knock on the door and Luke frowned. He said that he didn't want anyone to disturb him. Just as he was about to get up, the coldness on his neck made him feel like he was falling into an ice cave.

"The guest knocked on the door politely, shouldn't you politely say come in?" Guild Master Zero tapped Luke's neck with the blade. Although his tone was as gentle and humble as ever, his action was unusually rough, leaving a bloody mark.

Guild Master Zero has a quirk, which is that he has a different view on [betrayal].

If the betrayal is for "justice", then no matter how much suffering it is, Guild Master Zero can accept it. It is better to say that he is looking forward to this development so that he can say the line "You've dirty your hands, hero".

But betrayal for the sake of [profit], especially when one's own gangs are robbing one's gang members, is unforgivable.

Even if you are an evil party, you should still have some moral principles.

If it was an open betrayal, Guild Master Zero would at least be able to accept it, and the "trust" he showed would be returned respectfully. But this kind of silent betrayal behind the scenes has violated his "trust".

"...Please come in." Luke realized that these two words were his only way to survive.

The door was pushed open, and as expected, it was Naylan.

"Mr. Luke, you are really dishonest. How could you betray me?" Naylan laughed heartily, but his feeling of "coming to settle a score" did not diminish at all.

Luke relaxed instead. [Let's settle the accounts] means that as long as the accounts are settled, everything will be fine.

"I didn't send the assassin, I didn't spread the news, I was just a bystander at best."

"That's right, so we are just here to settle accounts with you."

Naylan tapped the table with his remaining right hand, while Guild Master Zero, who was standing behind Luke, tapped Luke's shoulder with his left hand.

"What do you want?" "Fairness and justice."

"Fairness and justice?" Luke couldn't help but laugh out loud. Bringing the world's number one killer, a stranger, to the door, what is not fair?

But the parchment scroll that Naylan took out of his arms and placed on the table made his face turn green. It was really fair.

This parchment scroll is the contract among the chaebol alliances. Every chaebol alliance, including him, has stamped its seal on the contract, approving the contents of the contract.

On the back of the contract, there are even seals of the three great kingdoms: the Giant Kingdom Alliance, the Holy Cross Kingdom, and the Eternal Kingdom, to acknowledge the legitimacy of this contract within the three kingdoms, no, within the human territory.

To be honest, it is not difficult to get the seals of the three kingdoms. You don’t even need to meet the king. You just need to contact the relevant departments and you can get a bunch of parchments with the seals of the three kingdoms.

The financial departments of the three kingdoms like this kind of conscious businessmen the most, because it saves them the time to investigate and collect taxes.

But this kind of contract is just a piece of waste paper to the chaebols. They even turn a blind eye to the laws of the kingdom, let alone this kind of contract.

So when they stamped their approval, they treated the contract as a joke, mocking and disdaining the contents in it, and even laughed out loud at the clause "compensation for betraying the partner" at the banquet.

In the eyes of the chaebol alliance, Naylan is already a dead man, and the most they can do out of kindness is give him a wreath as compensation.

Even if Neilan hadn't died, who would stand up for a small man like Neilan and enforce the contract for him?

But because they were too proud of themselves, they habitually forgot the existence of the so-called strangers.

He is an unusual being who will lend a hand to help anyone standing on the roadside with a troubled look on his face, even if he is penniless and does not receive any reward.

This is a [new rule] that has only been around for less than two years. If you forget it, you will pay a huge price.

If it was just a killer stranger, it wouldn't be scary, but the one standing behind him now was not the world's number one, vicious killer stranger, but a stranger who had received a commission seeking help and came to uphold justice.

Guild Leader Zero can be any stranger, or even any number of strangers.

I don’t know when, but now is the time when justice will only be a little late and will come with the force of thunder.

Luke pulled the parchment in front of him, turned it to face himself, and slid his fingers along the words on the parchment, finally stopping at the column of compensation items.

"【Compensate the other party's losses tenfold】, don't tell me you could have been the king of Atlantis." Luke's eyelids jumped. This statement was too vague. The amount of loss was entirely decided by Naylan.

"Asking for compensation is also a kind of business. I won't ask for something you can't give me at all."

Naylan leaned back in his chair and grinned.

"My loss is, of course, after you betrayed me, kicked me out of the chaebol alliance, and took my share of the large-scale event proceeds."

"Of course, you also have to compensate the former president [Azazel] for his losses. After all, he also put his seal on it. He should have been included in the management team and shared the profits. Remember to compensate him for his losses as well."

The corner of Luke's eye twitched. This was really an outrageous request. Large-scale events with the participation of foreigners made a huge amount of money, almost catching up with the financial resources of several large tycoons.

Including the compensation that must be paid to Guild Master Zero, all proceeds from this salvage activity must be handed over.
