Anime Crossover: I Became the Bull Demon King in My Own Land

Page 257

Eugene's face glowed, and his smile was warm.

His heart was naturally filled with irony; in the goddess's eyes, it was all fake at first glance.

But Ishtar had no expectations of what this cunning fellow was saying.

Isn't a contract just like that—one thing on paper, another thing in reality?

"Rest assured, the conditions I proposed are of great benefit to both of us."

This statement is actually true.

Ishtar's interest was piqued again.

She was really curious to see what kind of tricks Eugene would pull.

“First of all, I came for Chun Ji. Since we have already lost this war, we no longer need secret weapons.”

"Therefore, I implore you to release her from the divine oath."

Ishtar hesitated, "Which guy do you want her to join?"

To her surprise, Eugene told the truth once again.

"I will never give her to anyone again."

"She is my woman, and she can only be mine."

"How greedy you are," Ishtar couldn't help but smirk.

She actually admired this man a little.

Having come to the lower realm, she was used to being around young, handsome men, so such domineering, chauvinistic remarks were somewhat offensive to her.

"Okay, I promise you."

"And then what? For my clan, this can only be considered a loss, right?"

Faced with Ishtar's counter-question, Eugene remained calm and composed:

"Then, naturally, comes compensation and cooperation."

"To compensate for the lack of level 5 combat power in your family, I will specially provide some high-end combat power from outside."

"They are located in the underground city and on the surface, respectively, and will lend a helping hand when you need it."

"I can guarantee that their combined strength far surpasses that of Frini."

"I didn't expect you to have a hidden accomplice."

The goddess narrowed her eyes; though her tone was displeased, she felt helpless.

Not only him, but even his helpers are stronger than Frini.

From the very beginning, I was completely controlled.

"However, what does 'outsourcing' mean..."

Eugene added:

"When you ask an expert for help, you naturally need to pay them. That's a consensus, right?"

"I'm just introducing jobs to people; I don't have the right to interfere excessively."

"Hmph, you wrecked my place, and now you expect me to pay for people out of my own pocket? Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

Ishtar wasn't actually concerned about the money; she just wanted to make things difficult for Eugene and see his reaction.

Eugene lived up to her expectations and immediately came up with a solution.

"I have great respect for you for considering the interests of your family so much."

"However, as I said before, compensation and cooperation are on equal footing."

"I can't interfere too much with outsiders, but I should still pay compensation for the harm I cause."

"To be honest, I also have a little bit of money."

This time, before Ishtar even asked the question, Eugene revealed his powerful backer.

Do you know about the 'Eldorado' Entertainment Group?

"...So that's how it is. So that's where your backer is."

Ishtar was reminded of the big casinos, those fat, bloated tycoons who were good for nothing but money.

When it comes to investing, her wit and intelligence come through.

"So you mean, inject capital?"

"Yes, with my family's group business, there is huge potential for profit in joining forces with Huanle Street."

"Moreover, due to the tragedy that happened to the Soma Familia some time ago, they need a sufficiently powerful agent."

"With our three-way collaboration, we can dominate the entire nightlife of Orario!"

"At that time, wealth will naturally fall from the sky and fill our warehouses!"

Somo... their products are indeed undeniably competitive.

And that otaku god was surprisingly easy to get along with.

Given the current situation, Ishtar is quite satisfied with Eugene's handling of the matter.

Although she was forced to the negotiating table, the other party at least showed full respect to her family.

As a goddess, she was resentful, but as a leader, she managed to save face.

Since ideals cannot be realized, let's temporarily substitute them with a huge amount of wealth.

For a goddess who has lost her competitive spirit, indulging in pleasure and enjoyment is the only way to forget her troubles.

She exhaled the pent-up anger in her chest, gave Tamuz a meaningful look, who was prostrate on the ground, and no longer showed any anger.

"Tamuz, you should stay with the clan."

"However, I don't want to see you again. You can do whatever you want with me."

"Go tell Aisha to congratulate her on becoming the leader of the Ishtar Familia."

"And you."

Ishtar frowned: "Weren't we supposed to send Haruhime away from her clan? Go and bring her here quickly."

"I don't have much patience—"

call out!

With a loud, flashing sound, Eugene's figure rapidly blurred.

One second later.

call out!

Beside him, Lina, Aisha, and Chunji, three beauties, tightly embraced their man as they appeared together in the hall!

"This is you!"

Ishtar's eyes narrowed; he actually had this kind of trick up his sleeve.

However, what surprised her even more was that there was more than just Chun Ji among the women around Eugene.

She glanced at Aisha and Lina, and the two beauties averted their eyes in alarm, their guilty consciences obvious.

"Hmph, is that so?"

Ishtar laughed in exasperation. This scoundrel, saying such nice things as Chunji being his future wife.

She had imagined him to be a romantic at heart.

Looking back now, he really was a romantic!

"Aisa, Lina, you two really know how to pick men."

The goddess's words filled the two beauties with trepidation, and they instinctively wanted to kneel down.

Eugene supported them from behind, while he pulled Chunji forward.

"I can only say that we get along well as partners, right?"

His smile was appropriate, his voice was steady, and he showed no remorse or remorse whatsoever; in fact, he seemed a little smug.

Ishtar was once again rendered speechless by this person's shamelessness.

She nodded and waved impatiently, signaling the two of them to come forward.

"My dear husband..."

Chunji's emerald green eyes were filled with tension, and Eugene's arm and warmth were her only support.

She took his arm and walked forward step by step, bowing down before the goddess.

"...I hadn't noticed before, but you really are a rare beauty."

"With a girl like Juncheng, it's no wonder this guy would only want you."

Ishtar lifted Haruhime's small face, admiring her radiant beauty.

The goddess's purple eyes were reflected in Chun Ji's somewhat flustered blue eyes, creating an interplay of light and shadow.

This was the first time the goddess had been so close, so intently observing her retinue.

It will also be the last time.

After a long while, in this somber atmosphere, the goddess leaned down and whispered something in Chun Ji's ear.

"You've found a great guy; I'm a little envious."

201. Even if you like me, you can't throw a tantrum!

Envious of me?

My goddess said she envies me?

Haruhime didn't understand Ishtar's meaning at all.

She blinked her big eyes, looking very puzzled.

Meanwhile, Ishtar looked meaningfully at Eugene, who was smiling behind him.
