In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

Forget it, let's not discourage her anymore.

"Mr. Yuri, would you like to go in and take a look?"

Lister gestured for them to enter, and Yuri politely bowed slightly before they entered the villa together.

The villa is very quiet, and the enclosure surrounding it effectively prevents insects and also provides sound insulation.

Lister, Yuri, and Muzan each sat on a sofa, while Nakime stood behind Muzan.

“Mr. Lister, I am very satisfied with the environment here. It is my good fortune to have the opportunity to come here.”

"For someone like me who is frequently hunted down, having a completely safe space is extremely important."

"I am honored to be welcomed by you, and I hope to contribute to this territory."

Yuri spoke with extreme politeness, as if he were truly repaying Lister's kindness.

But Lister did not believe that Yuri would consider him, a "heretic," as one of his own.

This kind of retreat-to-advance statement not only explains one's own needs but also shows him that he can pay some price in exchange for absolute security. Moreover, it saves face for both parties and sounds very pleasant.

It seems Yuri has already discerned that he has ulterior motives, so he has expressed in a roundabout way that he can offer limited assistance.

Hmm, I need to choose my words carefully, so that people don't think he's an idiot who can't understand the meaning behind my words.

Lister cleared his throat.

“Mr. Yuri, it is only proper for me to receive guests as the host, and it is also my honor to meet such a great person as you.”

"As the lord of Red Maple Territory, I feel that my abilities are limited and it is difficult to bring a better life to the people under my rule."

"There are no electrical appliances here, and at night we can only use oil lamps or wood piles for lighting."

“Residents have to fetch water from ditches or wells every day, which is extremely inconvenient.”

"The farming and forging techniques are relatively backward, which makes me very envious of the modern life in your place, Mr. Yuri."

"If I were the lord, how wonderful it would be if I could bring more advanced ideas and technologies to my people."

It turned out to be the case.

Yuri casually placed his hands, fingers interlaced, on his knees.

The lord coveted the public welfare technology he possessed and hoped to help him with infrastructure development, and even provide support in various advanced technologies.

He also thought that Lister would covet his mind technology.

Is it genuine disinterest, or is it something they're hiding?

Muzan, standing to the side, felt a surge of irritation as he watched the two gazing deeply into each other's eyes.

Can you be more direct? She came to listen in because she wanted to know if there was anything important she needed to know.

Is this the result?

Yuri thought for a moment and then replied.

“No problem at all. I will send an engineer from Epsilon to conduct an on-site inspection and then submit a modification plan.”

"Thank you very much."

At this moment, Lister reached into the spatial ripples and took out a small glass test tube containing a drop of bright red blood.

That is!

So that's where her blood is supposed to be used!

“Mr. Yuri, I am very grateful for your sponsorship, and I hope this can serve as a return gift.”

Yuri stared intently at the blood in the test tube. He could sense the energy contained within it, and it was remarkably similar to the energy emanating from Muzan.

"This is Muzan's blood; it can turn ordinary people into demons."

"Ghosts are not afraid of pain, have long lifespans, and can quickly regenerate their lost bodies, but they feed on human flesh and blood and will die when exposed to sunlight."

Lister pushed the test tube in front of Yuri.

“I think you should be interested in studying it, Mr. Yuri.”

Yuri picked up the test tube, his eyes filled with excitement.

Epsilon's research included a "Beastman" creation project, hoping to create a super-powerful bio-engineered human capable of tearing apart tanks with his bare hands.

This drop of blood will surely revolutionize their research!

"What do I have to give?"

Yuri no longer concealed himself; the voice, seemingly capable of manipulating minds, entered his brain directly, causing Nakime to instinctively press her head, and even Muzan frowned.

In Yuri's eyes, the value of this drop of blood far exceeded the value of the resources spent on helping Red Maple Territory with its infrastructure development.

"A life-extending potion that can restore youth."

"I hope that Epsilon can use this drop of blood as a basis to develop a life-extending drug."

A life-extending drug that can restore youth?

Yuri immediately thought of the elderly man with white hair he had seen before.

Was it for him?

"Of course, the research may not be successful, so I won't force it."

"But I think we can talk about other deals."

Lister wore a smile.

"Mr. Yuri, the Epsilon Army is conducting research on super soldiers, isn't it?"

"What if I could provide my physical data?"

"Having a reference point will make it easier to achieve your research goals."

Chapter 45 The Deal with Yuri (Part 2)

Yuri observed the confident-looking Lister.

The data on people from another world is very valuable.

He planned to have two super soldiers: one was his daughter "Libra," created using psychic technology to inherit his psychic abilities, and the other was a bio-engineered soldier "Rahn," created using genetic technology.

However, in computer simulations, the two soldiers created might exhibit some mental abnormalities.

Indeed, after they were created in the future, Libra would often go berserk and not distinguish friend from foe, while Rahn had a strong bloodlust.

If we could obtain the physical data of people from another world, could we create even more perfect and powerful warriors?

Will Libra, as part of his "Mind End" plan, undergo further evolution? Will the Tower of Babel become more perfect?

We can't miss this opportunity.

Yuri tapped the coffee table in front of him lightly with his gloved fingers.

"condition?"

very good!

Liszt felt much more at ease.

Now we'll see how much Yuri is willing to sacrifice for this statistic.

At that moment, Yuri and Muzan saw Lister make a gesture in the air with his left hand, and a 3D map projection appeared on the table.

"This is the currently known map of the surrounding area."

Yuri couldn't help but show his admiration.

This zoomable 3D projection map makes things much easier for commanders.

"Mr. Yuri should be able to see that Red Maple Territory has great development value."

"Located in a basin and surrounded by mountains, it has only one pass, a little over 200 meters wide, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"There is a wide river in the basin, and the surrounding land is fertile. Although no mineral resources have been found yet, it is already a uniquely advantageous location."

Yuri studied the map and nodded slightly.

He was shown a map and told about the most important passes, and he mentioned that they were "easy to defend and difficult to attack," which shows that the lord predicted that his territory was very likely to be attacked by the enemy.

"You want me to build defensive fortifications at the pass?"

Lister pondered for a few seconds, then shook his head.

"No need for now."

"Since Mr. Yuri has already analyzed it, then I will explain it first."

Lister then pointed to the area around White Moon City and explained the situation in the United States, the anomalies he had noticed, and his concerns.

Yuri listened and nodded, these words reminding him of himself.

In order to buy more time for Epsilon, he had been arranging for the heretics, whom he valued most, to sow discord between the Allied and Soviet camps and to sever the ties between the Allied and Soviet forces.

It can be said that he deserves most of the credit for the Allied infighting and the Soviet infighting.

Epsilon's eventual rise to power was truly thanks to Yuri's infiltration and ability to sow chaos.

“Mr. Yuri, my current goal is to transform Red Maple Territory into a self-sufficient military base.”

“My biggest concern right now is that I don’t have enough time, so I have two conditions.”

"First, I hope you can provide me with a batch of modern weapons. I have spatial storage capabilities, so even if I am alone, I can use these weapons."

"Second, I need a promise from the Epsilon Army. If Red Maple Territory encounters any intractable problems, I hope the Epsilon Army can provide military support."

"As you can see, Red Maple Territory is located in a remote area, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if military force is used, it will not consume too much resources."

Yuri leaned back on the sofa and pondered for a few seconds.

"Mr. Lister, may we conduct a test first?"

"of course can."

Lister readily agreed and then allowed Yuri to bring over the engineers and a simple testing instrument.

Upon completing the test and seeing the astonishing power and speed data, Yuri immediately agreed to the deal and promised to bring more and more precise instruments to collect data next time.
