Curse Back to Five Summers: Best Friends Are an Excuse for Couples

He asked the question with such confidence that the other party instantly wilted, and his previous courage was broken. He didn't have the courage to continue speaking.

The higher the social status, the more timid they are. After living a good life for too long, they are naturally afraid of losing. Once they are afraid of losing, when facing a tough party, they will be timid from the bottom of their hearts, fearing that they will not enjoy their good days enough and be sent to meet the King of Hell by the other party without any moral integrity.

The higher the social class, the more they value their lives. On the contrary, the lower-class people, whose lives are worthless, will become braver when faced with stronger opponents.

"You need a sorcerer to work for you. This is my bargaining chip in today's negotiation."

After these words were spoken, the representatives were completely speechless.

Gojo Satoru was right. Although they were upper-class people, they were, after all, ordinary people who were vulnerable in the face of curses and sorcerers.

They cannot see the curse, but are troubled and hurt by it. Only the sorcerer can help them solve it.

They need sorcerers, look down on them but cannot do without them.

"Now, let's go back to the question at the beginning. I want to save Geto Suguru. I say Geto Suguru is innocent. Now, let's vote again and see what the current vote count is."

This time, the meeting room fell silent. The four representatives looked at each other again, exchanged hesitant glances, and then raised their hands one by one unwillingly but helplessly.

Gojo Satoru clapped his hands, his smile suddenly brightened, and even the tone of his voice became extremely light.

"Ah, it passed unanimously!"

The four people opposite didn't want to look at Gojo Satoru's incredibly handsome face anymore. It was the first time they realized that handsome guys could be unlikable.

"So, what I said earlier about you guys not interfering in the internal affairs of the Curse World has been passed without objection, right?"

"What?" The leading representative was anxious. "Wasn't the vote just now about whether Geto Suguru was guilty? Who said they agreed to that?"

Gojo Satoru pretended to be surprised, "Is that so? You don't agree. What can I do to make you agree?"

Tapping his chin with his index finger, Gojo Satoru smiled innocently, "Does this mean we need to eliminate all those above us and replace them with a new group of superiors to solve the problem?"

Hearing Gojo Satoru say such a horrible thing with a smile and the most innocent face, the person sitting opposite him turned pale.

"Hey, Gojo, you...you're making a naked threat..."

"Right," Gojo Satoru nodded, accepting his accusation without a doubt. "I was just threatening you. Since you don't want to talk when I try to talk to you nicely, then for someone as rude as me, threats are probably the only option left."

The representative on the opposite side was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he didn't dare to do anything because he was afraid of Gojo Satoru's strength. He could only sit here and suffer, suppressing his inner fear.

At this time, someone came out to smooth things over, "What we say doesn't count in this matter, so..."

Gojo Satoru didn't give them any slack. "You guys don't have the final say, yet you come here to talk to me? Isn't this a waste of time? I'll wait here until someone who has the final say comes to talk to me."

Four representatives: "..."

The four of them are the representatives assigned by the higher-ups to be in charge of the sorcerers. When it comes to matters in the sorcery world, they are the highest decision-makers. Who else has the final say except them?

Not willing to give in, really not willing to give in.

Being threatened by a sorcerer whom they looked down upon was really unbearable.

"You only have ten minutes to discuss this matter. I'm only giving you ten minutes. I'm not sure what will happen after ten minutes. Perhaps the purge will begin in this conference room."

This is a naked threat. Even though they know it is a threat, they still have no way to save themselves.

Who could have thought that a good negotiation would end up as a Hongmen Banquet?

"We've discussed this..." the leading representative said with great difficulty, "We agree with your proposal. From now on, we will no longer establish a Director Council to oversee the Spell World. Everything in the Spell World will be decided by you yourselves."

"That's right. You don't understand, so why come in and meddle in it?"

Four representatives: "..."

Gojo Satoru's expression changed faster than anything else. He put away the threatening aura and smiled brightly again.

"Now, we can discuss our conditions. I'm not ignorant of the ways of the world. As long as it's not too excessive, I will do my best to meet your requests. Come on."

It was the first time in all those years that the four representatives had held such an efficient meeting. They called their secretaries and even brought their laptops and printers over.

Gojo Satoru refused to let them leave, and it seemed as if he would not let them leave until they signed the contract today.

They interacted with each other and argued for their own interests.

The negotiations started in the morning and lasted until late at night before all the terms were finalized.

They worked from morning till night without eating or drinking throughout the day. When the four representatives left the meeting room, they supported each other as they walked out.

They were tired, thirsty, and hungry, but more importantly, they felt aggrieved and scared, fearing that if they said something wrong, one of their clauses would anger Gojo Satoru, who would curse them all and send them all to see Tainai.

The purpose of signing this treaty was mainly to allow Gojo Satoru to kick the people above him out of the world of sorcery.

If you want to make a comprehensive reform in the world of magic, this step must be taken.

Although he was quite tough in the early stages of the negotiations, Gojo Satoru gave them some leeway when it came to finalizing the terms and discussing the interests of both parties.

It is said that you should not push people into a corner. When a rabbit is cornered, it will bite; when a dog is cornered, it will jump over the wall.

It is not good for the sorcerers to push people into a corner. After all, if the College of Spells wants to continue operating, the sorcerers' salaries need to be allocated funds from above under the pretext of operating Buddhist colleges and temples.

There is no need for a general meeting of directors. We only accept regular or irregular financial audits from above. The above cannot interfere in other matters.

As for the obligations of the sorcerers, they are to be fully responsible for their curse exorcism tasks and to help them unconditionally when they receive curse exorcism tasks. Otherwise, the higher-ups can stop funding.

Being able to negotiate to this point is already the best outcome for both parties. What else can we ask for?
