The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

The treatment was somewhat unreasonable, but Sophie trusted her intuition.

Faced with such sincere treatment and warm invitation, Ning Feng's reaction was remarkably calm. After a moment of silence, he asked:

"Are you sure?"

That unchanging expression made him look like a young person who was frightened and at a loss.

"Of course, your excellence is beyond doubt, and even others would agree with my decision after learning about your deeds."

Sophie had no worries about this.

Ning Feng is outstanding enough, talented and capable, and he must also have some hidden secrets.

Moreover, her manners were impeccable, which was a huge plus for Sophie.

Needless to say, the other person's face was even more outstanding than in the photo, ranking in the top five of all the people she had ever met.

These people are not limited by strength, nor are they limited to men or women!

If Sophie hadn't already used a magic item to resist charm after learning about the other party's information, she would have worried that her judgment would be unconsciously influenced by the other party.

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

Shaking his head, Ning Feng interrupted the other party's demonstration and said somewhat strangely:

“I’m talking about…Ms. Jaslin, do you really understand what you’re doing right now?”

Are you trying to persuade me to betray the Watchers?

You want me to be a double agent, and right here in a Watchmen branch?

Is there something wrong with me...?

Or is there something wrong with you?

---Aside---

I'm coming clean!

I'm a kid, and I need a Children's Day gift!

Please vote for me with at least one monthly pass!!!

Chapter 165 Sophie's Olive Branch (Happy Children's Day!)

Attention everyone!

There are bad women here!

She wanted to lead me, who was loyal and sincere, down the path of evil traitor!

This is absolutely intolerable!

I have shed blood for the Watchers, I have been wounded for the organization, and now you want to seduce me?

What are you up to, you wicked woman?

"Hehe, you're really cute."

cute?

Are you talking to me?

But facing Ning Feng's strange gaze, Sophie showed no hesitation or unease, and covered her mouth with her hand while laughing:

"It's nothing at all, you're worrying too much."

“Even legends can be won over by our Silver Council.”

Unwittingly displaying her strength, Sophie leaned back lazily on the sofa, her provocative gaze sweeping over Ning Feng's body as she chuckled:

“The Watchers don’t mind this kind of thing, and besides, we don’t want you to leave the Watchers.”

"We don't want to see things turn sour with Overwatch either."

Relaxing lazily, Sophie found her rhythm and said with a soft laugh:

"Perhaps you are not aware, but the Watchers are arrogant, firmly believing that you will never change your stance on matters of principle."

"While we restricted overt recruitment efforts, we never prohibited us from contacting your members privately."

In other words, apart from not being able to completely leave the Watchers and join other organizations, there are no other restrictions on social interactions.

"And that's exactly what we wanted."

Speaking of this, Sophie's confidence became even stronger, almost overflowing from her tall figure.

“Unlike other organizations, this requirement does not conflict with our goals.”

Why are the Silver Council members befriending the Overwatch legends?

Is it to poach them from our company?

no.

The most fundamental aspect of the aristocratic council, built on the foundation of bloodline theory, is its extreme emphasis on bloodline, a point that cannot be changed.

As long as the Council of Nobles continues to focus on this point, no one of non-noble birth, even a legendary figure, can enter the highest levels of the Council's power; they can only exist as high-level henchmen.

Such treatment was something the legends themselves found unacceptable due to their pride, and the Noble Council itself did not wish to see such an outcome.

So they compromised: the council of nobles would provide the legends with some resources, and the legends would provide assistance when necessary.

Look, I gave you so much money, it's not too much to ask you to lend a hand if I need anything, is it?

Legendary figures generally help with requests that aren't too unreasonable.

Overall, while it's still an ugly money transaction, there's a greater sense of treating each other like friends.

Unlike retainers, there are not many constraints; it relies more on the self-discipline of the legends.

Having more friends means having more options. The Noble Council is not a pushover that can be easily manipulated; being honest and obedient is the best choice.

This applies to legends, and it also applies to the Watchers who are below them.

You need this resource? I'll give it to you.

You don't have enough money? I do.

No need to be so polite, we're all friends!

The Silver Council has no shortage of low-level forces, so the value of these people can only be maximized if they remain with the Watchers.

Otherwise, should we take it back and hide it to look at?

With a smile in her eyes, Sophie glanced at Ning Feng, then subconsciously thought:

"Hiding it doesn't seem like a bad idea... cough cough."

Don't let your mind wander like that, Sophie!

Trust your instincts; the man in front of you is more than just your new prey!

As she walked towards the mirror, Sophie gradually regained her composure, using the act of drinking wine to conceal her momentary lapse in composure.

They've already revealed all their bargaining chips; what they should have given and what they shouldn't have given have been shown.

Next, you just have to wait for the other party's response.

Did he readily agree?

Still not satisfied and want to raise the price further?

As for rejection, Sophie didn't think she would receive such an answer.

Ning Feng couldn't think of a reason to refuse something that was entirely beneficial to her.

Just as she was composing herself, Ning Feng gave his answer.

"I'm sorry, please let me think about it some more."

Without excitement or doubt, he simply said something and prepared to turn and leave.

Ok?

Do I need to pay extra?

Sophie placed her wine glass on the table in front of her, puffed out her high chest, and her eyes became even more alluring.

"Do you think this condition is not enough?"

Want to raise prices?

Feeling it's not enough to just sell to a higher bidder?

That's really...

Very good!

Sophie wasn't angry at all; instead, she became happy.

Sophie isn't worried about price increases at all; what she fears most is being completely unresponsive to her demands.

People who are without desires or wants are the hardest to win over.

As long as there is greed, everything is negotiable.

No, that's not what I meant.

Once again, Ning Feng interrupted Sophie.

“I know that the terms you’ve offered are quite generous.”

Ning Feng shook his head and explained coldly:

"But I do need to discuss this with someone else, so I can't give you a reply right now."

Seeking advice from others... what kind of reason is that?

Was it a polite refusal? But it didn't seem like it; there was no explicit rejection.

Having not been rejected in a long time, Sophie coughed lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, and said somewhat reluctantly:

"Let me think about it some more, I..."
