Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 134 An Offer I Can't Refuse
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly froze.

The six "investors" looked at each other, and all saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

Does this guy think that he will be invincible if he drives Ivan Petrov away?

Are they planning to take their resources for free and make them kneel down and act like dogs?

Because what happened was too bizarre, they did not get angry at first, but instead wondered if the other party was deliberately playing a joke on them.

The scene before their eyes completely overturned their cognition.

It has always been these "investors" who threaten others with a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other. This is the first time I have seen someone dare to say so openly, "I'm going to get it for free from you."

Manager Moro's expression was extremely interesting. After regaining his composure, his voice was filled with a hint of threat:
"Mr. Commander, this joke you told is not funny at all!
I advise you to think it over carefully before you act. One or two Gold-rank warriors won't make much of a splash in the Lost Lands!"

Cohen's voice suddenly became much deeper:

"I never joke. This is the final attitude of me and Infinity Blade. You only have two options: obey or refuse."

This is the official breakup!
A cold expression appeared on the faces of the six people. Manager Morrow suddenly stood up and uttered a harsh threat with a cold face:
"It seems that this dinner party is destined to end in a bad mood.

Mr. Captain of Infinity Blade, I'm deeply sorry about this. I thought we could be friends.

It's a shame you gave up this hard-earned friendship."

The other people also showed expressions of sarcasm, indifference and disappointment.

In their eyes, Cohen had become an arrogant man who became so arrogant that he didn't know his place after he achieved success.

Several people stood up and prepared to leave, but Cohen suddenly called out to Liman Taiwo, who had the teleportation scroll.

Liman Taiwo's expression changed slightly, he stopped and said in a deep voice:

"The six of us share a common interest. Even if you reach an agreement with me privately, it will be useless."

Cohen shook his head and said:
"You misunderstood. I just wanted to talk to you about a private matter."

Liman Taiwo frowned slightly and instinctively refused:

"I don't think we have anything personal to discuss. Since you, sir, have chosen to reject our friendship, let's end it here."

Cohen ignored the other person's words and walked straight to his side. He suddenly put his arm on his shoulder and said with a smile:

"Come on, I'll take you to see something good!"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them disappeared from the spot without any warning. Even the most powerful seventh-level veteran intelligence officer, Reid Gallo, was startled.

Seeing Cohen and the other man suddenly disappear, everyone's faces suddenly changed color.

Manager Morrow's shocked and angry gaze turned to Windsardler who was not far away, and he asked in a cold voice:

“What the hell are you doing?

Where did your mistress take Liman to? "

Windsardler still had a perfect smile on his face and replied softly:
"Please be patient. My husband has something important to discuss with His Excellency Liman Taiwo. He will be back soon."

Manager Moro obviously didn't believe her delaying words. He exchanged glances with the people behind him and prepared to force his way out.

At this moment, several pink mists filled in from all directions. Everyone was shocked and felt the devil's breath from hell. Their faces suddenly changed in horror.

Manager Morrow roared:
"devil?
You actually colluded with hell, what do you want to do?"

Before he finished speaking, waves of melodious and charming sounds came from afar.

The sound was like a silk thread, penetrating into the ears of the six people.

Except for the seventh-level intelligence officer Reid Gallo, the others seemed to have their souls sucked out the instant they heard the sound. Their eyes began to gradually become blurred, and the resistance movements in their hands became sluggish.

Reid Gallo could still resist for a while at the beginning, but not long after, he seemed to be frozen. Confusion began to appear in his eyes, his originally resolute face became relaxed, and his muscles lost their tense strength.

In the dark, Grace's pretty face had become extremely serious, her jade-colored arms trembled slightly, and her breathing became rapid.

The "Insight" in Nephthys' hand next to her was also shining like a bright star in the starry night, and her whole body was sweating.

The two men obviously tried their best to control the six people in a short period of time.

Grace cursed secretly:

“What’s your husband doing? Is he so slow in dealing with a fifth-level Liman Taiwo?
If you don't come out, I won't be able to hold on any longer!"

Speaking of Cohen, he has now entered the Shadow Plane with Liman Taiwo!

Rule skill——[Control Shadow]!
The first level [Master of Shadow] has the authority of "Shadow Guardian" level and can freely bring one person in and out of the shadow plane.

In order to prevent Liman Taiwo from escaping with the help of the teleportation scroll, Cohen decided to deal with this person first.

He took advantage of Liman Taiwo's inattention and directly activated the rule skill to bring this person into the shadow plane.

Liman Taiwo watched Cohen come to him and grab his shoulders. At first he wondered if this man had any quirks.

However, immediately afterwards, he felt a flash before his eyes, and he felt as if he was sucked into a huge whirlpool. The world around him began to distort and deform, and the scene in front of him was like a crumpled scroll. The strong feeling of dizziness made his stomach churn, and he couldn't even make a move to resist.

Liman Taiwo felt as if his body was being pulled by countless invisible hands, and brilliant and strange lights flashed across his vision.

Finally, the pressure around him disappeared, he suddenly opened his eyes, and saw a scene that he would never forget.

He was on a desolate plain, looking up at a sky that was always shrouded in thick darkness. There were no twinkling stars, nor the light of the sun or the moon.

The omnipresent shadows were like a substance, weighing heavily on the entire plane.

Occasionally, a faint green light flickered in the distance, floating like a ghost fire, scaring Liman Taiwo so much that he reached out to touch the teleportation scroll in his arms.

At this moment, a low voice sounded from his ear:

"My advice is not to use the teleportation scroll, this is no longer the main plane.

Do you see those faint green lights? That is a strange phenomenon caused by the gathering and flow of shadow energy.

If you were teleported in there, you would be assimilated into a shadow creature within a day and would never be able to go back.

Um, I forgot to introduce you, welcome to the Shadow Plane!"

Liman Taiwo turned his head sharply and saw Cohen looking at him with interest.

What he said made Liman Taiwo's heart sink completely.

Shadow Plane!

This is one of the most dangerous sub-planes. Who on earth is that person and how could he bring him here?

How did he do that?
He is not even at the Gold level, but he can actually pass through the plane barrier and bring someone with him?

Liman Taiwo quickly calmed down and asked in a deep voice:

"What on earth do you want to do? Do you think that by bringing me here, I will be coerced by you?"

Cohen shook his head and said:
“Now is not the time to negotiate with you, your five friends are waiting for me outside.

Now that we have completed our tour of the Shadow Plane, let's go somewhere else!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a silver light flashed in Cohen's hand, and the "Book of Time and Space" appeared in front of him.

As the spell was whispered, ancient patterns began to spread across the cover of the "Book of Time and Space", like a beating pulse, and a mysterious power was about to emerge.

Seeing this, Liman Taiwo felt an invisible fear in his heart and magic power surged throughout his body. He was about to escape, but the shadow energy and strange creatures everywhere blocked his actions.

Cohen sneered and held up the "Book of Time and Space" high in the air. A dazzling light instantly shot up from the cover into the sky.

The ancient lines are like activated circuits, with mysterious light flowing rapidly through them.

Then, an illusory vortex gradually formed above the cover.

A huge suction force came, and with Liman Taiwo's horrified expression, he was directly sucked into the small sub-dimension sealed on the cover of the "Book of Time and Space".

There is also a "deep abyss worm" from hell living there. I hope Liman Taiwo won't feel lonely.

After dealing with the most difficult Liman Taiwo, Cohen did not waste too much time. The outside world depended entirely on Grace and Nephthys, and it was unknown how long they could hold on.

Looking at the gray shadow plane, Cohen flashed and returned to the Demonic Tide Continent.

When Cohen returned to the room, the remaining five people had already woken up.

He was still in a weak state. Seeing that only Cohen showed up, Manager Moro said angrily:

"Where is Liman Taiwo? Where did you take him?"

Cohen smiled faintly:
"Don't worry, you'll be reunited soon!"

After he finished speaking, he no longer hesitated, magic power surged in his body, he raised his hands, the space behind him began to tremble violently, and one after another dazzling golden light gushed out from the void behind him.

Soon, a golden curtain formed behind him.

Rule skill——"King's Treasure"!
Cohen's eyes flashed with gold, and he launched a willpower check on the five people in front of him at the same time.

Cohen, whose willpower attribute has reached the "MAX" level, easily passed the test when facing five extraordinary people whose highest level was no more than gold.

Almost in an instant, the golden curtain behind Cohen burst out with a powerful suction force.

Just as they came to their senses and were about to pull out various high-level magic equipment to resist, the five people suddenly felt their minds blurred again. In an instant, all the magic equipment in their hands was snatched away without any warning.

Legendary magic equipment "Buckle of the Abominable".

Golden-grade sword.

Gold-grade dagger and scimitar.

Legendary magic equipment "Titan Armor" and "Dragon Scale Belt".

Legendary Explosive Crystal.

Several pieces of equipment plunged into the golden curtain behind Cohen, stirring up waves of golden ripples. The sudden and bizarre scene made the five people, who had just come to their senses, look at each other in shock.

Their biggest life-saving trump card was taken away inexplicably!

For a moment, great panic filled everyone's heart.

Cohen put away the "Treasure of the King", with golden light in his eyes, and summoned the "Book of Time and Space" again, and then quickly threw the "Book of Time and Space" to Windsardler.

Among these five people, there are gold-level ones, and the rest are silver-level ones, which are higher than Cohen's level. With only his fourth-level magic and mental strength, he is simply unable to bring all of them into the secondary plane.

Can only rely on the seventh-level Windsordeler.

Cohen had already told Windsardler how to use the "Book of Time and Space". The latter took the "Book of Time and Space", his face calm, and recited the spell quickly.

Not long after, a vortex several times larger than the previous one suddenly appeared above the hall, and a strange and terrifying breath came from the other side of the vortex.

Fear was on everyone's face.

For the first time, these "investors" who have been living a life of luxury and staying behind the scenes for many years felt the threat to their lives.

They instinctively rushed out, but their feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. Their exquisite clothes danced wildly under the powerful suction generated by the whirlpool, and their neatly styled hair was blown into a mess.

As the suction of the vortex continued to grow stronger, their bodies began to tilt forward uncontrollably, and screams rang out one after another.

Soon, Damp Nilsson, who had the lowest cultivation level, was sucked in first, followed by the oldest Precito Solari and Bishop Ino Firkos.

Manager Morrow and the seventh-level Reid Gallo, who resisted to the end, were also sucked into the vortex by Grace.

Windsardler's delicate face turned pale, he breathed lightly, and threw the "Book of Time and Space" to Cohen.

Cohen hurried over to support the exhausted Windsardler, and expressed his gratitude and comfort for a long time.

"You heartless bastard, I'm exhausted too!"

Grace also moved out while rubbing her slender waist, frowning slightly, and pursed her sexy red lips, as if she was enduring the discomfort in her waist.

The action of rubbing the waist carries an indescribable laziness and charm.

Cohen smiled bitterly and said:

"Your Highness has worked hard. In short, you are all great contributors. Thank you for your help. Our plan was successfully completed!
Next we can start building our base camp!"

The beauties, both big and small, cheered softly. After everyone rested for a while, Cohen said to Nephthys:
"Have those soul contracts been drawn up?"

Nephthys took out six contracts and handed them to Cohen.

Cohen cut his finger and imprinted his own breath on it one by one. Then he took the six contracts, said a few words to everyone, opened the "Book of Time and Space", and entered the sub-plane where the rules were not yet perfect.

……

In an unknown sub-plane, the sky was a chaotic gray, with thick clouds that seemed to collapse at any moment, and dazzling arcs of electricity were stirring irregularly.

It would strike down without warning, and wherever it touched, whether it was hard rock or exotic vegetation, it would be instantly turned into charcoal.

The ground is rugged and uneven, with shocking cracks everywhere, from which hot magma or biting cold currents spew out from time to time.

Some places look like solid land, but once you step on it, it will quickly collapse like falling into quicksand.

A huge vortex suddenly appeared in the air, spitting out five people one after another.

Everyone woke up from the huge space tearing, and all they saw was a strange desolation.

Soon, a low and hoarse voice woke up the five frightened people:
"This is a sub-plane. To be more precise, it's a sub-plane whose rules are still imperfect."

The five people heard the voice, turned around and saw that it was Liman Taiwo who had been taken away by Cohen before.

Manager Moro was astonished:
"How did you get sucked in here too?"

Liman Taiwo sighed and asked:
"Where are your magical weapons and equipment?"

Moro and the others were shocked, and the former said in a deep voice:
"That Infinity Blade leader is a bit strange, possessing a skill that can steal our magic equipment.

He took all our equipment.”

Liman Taiwo's eyes flashed with understanding as he said:
"It seems that this so-called dinner party tonight was a trap set by him, and we were all careless.

Do you remember the arched door we passed through before entering the hall?

I guess that door should be a detection array, and they already know our hidden cards.

The reason he took me away early was to prevent me from using this thing."

Liman Taiwo took out a space teleportation scroll from his arms.

Everyone's faces suddenly showed understanding, and Bishop Ino Felix agreed:

"The elves, especially the winged elves, are very knowledgeable about battle formations. That detection formation should have been set up by his elf lady.

We really underestimated this guy's ambition and courage. This bastard actually wanted to wipe us out right from the start. How despicable!"

Manager Moro asked Liman Taiwo:
"Where did he take you before?"

Liman Taiwo said with a look of fear on his face
"Shadow Plane!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Manager Morrow exclaimed:
"He actually knows how to enter the Shadow Plane?
He is only at the silver level!
What is the origin of this kid!
Putting aside his identity and background, it's simply outrageous that a Silver Rank could control two sub-planes simultaneously."

Everyone turned their attention to Reid Gallo.

As a veteran intelligence officer of the six-member "Investor" team, Reid Gallo shook his head and said:

"There's very little information about this person. Apart from knowing that he has a deep connection with the 'Lord of Sequence,' nothing else is known.

However, I speculate that he is most likely from the human continent and is likely the heir to an empire or ancient family."

Ryder Gallo then said:

"I remember that during the battle five days ago, the intelligence officer of Chaos Demon Continent, the Musician, also showed up. Didn't she say that there was a mysterious Gold Rank behind this person, and that even the Musician didn't want to offend him?"

After Reid Gallo's reminder, everyone remembered. Reid Gallo's eyes lit up and he said:

"We were ambushed by a golden-rank succubus before we were sucked into the vortex. Could this mysterious golden-rank succubus the 'musician' mentioned be her?"

Manager Moro said in an inexplicable tone:
"This guy is actually colluding with the devil in hell! Isn't he afraid of playing with fire and getting burned?"

Ryder Gallo said:
“By the way, why did this guy lock us all up in the secondary plane?
Does he think that this will make us surrender?

It won't be long before those of us outside notice anything unusual. Can he still withstand the combined pressure of the six of us?"

However, before Reid Gallo finished his words, a rustling sound was heard in the distance.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw countless worms attacking them from all over the mountain.

Soon, the knowledgeable Manager Moreau recognized the origin of this creature and let out a roar of shock and anger, his voice distorted by extreme fear:
"Damn it!
asshole!

This guy is indeed in collusion with hell!
This is the 'Abyss Worm'!
Damn it, why would something like this appear here? "

Hearing this terrifying name, the faces of the others all turned pale!
Devour all extraordinary objects since childhood!
The mature stage devours the legendary realm of legendary transcendents!

There is also a metamorphosis period that only exists in legends. It is said that it can even take a bite out of the saint's temple!
It is definitely a taboo in the entire main plane.

This powerful worm that lives in the abyss of the underworld and can devour anything is enough to terrify every extraordinary person.

Moreau commanded loudly:
"This worm monster is only in its infancy. Everyone, concentrate all your magic power and quickly destroy it.

Otherwise, he will eat us all to pieces!"

Originally, the "Abyss Worm" rarely eats blood, but this worm has been thrown into the secondary plane by Cohen for a long time.

I was already starving, and since it was a rare sight to see a few humans with extraordinary attributes, I didn't care whether they were blood food or not.

Several people quickly obeyed Moro's command, but soon they discovered a reality that made them despair.

There is no way to replenish magic power in this sub-plane, and the magic power in the body will be reduced as soon as it is used.

The difficulty of dealing with the "Underworld Worm" was beyond their expectations.

Moro gave an order to everyone to stop. He had already realized that with the six of them being extraordinary people who could not replenish their magic power, they would not be able to kill the worm monster before their magic power was exhausted.

In this chaotic and irregular sub-plane, once their magic power is exhausted, death awaits them!

But what made everyone uncomfortable was that instead of killing the worm monster, the worm monster came to cause trouble for them.

Time passed minute by minute, and in order to avoid the pursuit of the worm monster, the magic power of several people was rapidly consumed.

Only then did they realize that Cohen's goal was to exhaust them to death here!
The group ran breathlessly to a high place, temporarily avoiding the pursuit of the worm monster. However, before they could catch their breath, a familiar voice rang in their ears:

"Everyone, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you would like to hear it?"

The six people looked at Cohen who suddenly appeared before them, their eyes burning with anger. Manager Moro said angrily:
"You've trapped us here. Sooner or later, we'll be discovered. By then, even the Sequence Master won't be able to protect you."

Cohen looked as if he was being taught. He said:
"What you said makes sense. I'm going to pack up and run away. You guys can have some fun with the worm monster.

Oh, and I forgot to remind you, this worm monster hasn't had a decent meal in several months!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Damp Nelson, who had already been terrified, spoke quickly:
"Tell me what you propose!"

Cohen stopped, but did not turn around. Instead, he threw out six contracts and said lightly:

"Each of you has one. It contains the conditions I offer. If you find them acceptable, you can drop a drop of blood on it, sign the contract, and then you can come out."

After saying this, the whole person was covered in silver light and disappeared on the spot.

At the same time, the rustling sound that made one's scalp tingle rang out from all directions again!
