Chapter 397: Unfortunate Turn Of Events.
However, a month later, when he was done with his preparations, he received a ssage that he had been dropped from Earthly Battlefield E6-137 and transferred to another Earthly Battlefield that had an urgent need for rank 4 cultivators.
This new Earthly Battlefield was the sa one that he had been assigned to in the previous tiline when he tried to enter Earthly Battlefield E6-137 one month later. Alia told him that he had been assigned there because he hadn’t reported for duty in Earthly Battlefield E6-137 yet.
Apparently, because he hadn’t reported for duty yet, the sect could still mobilize him to another Earthly Battlefield. So now he could forget about getting access to Earthly Battlefield E6-137.
This ti, he didn’t bother to try luring Lady Red out. He also didn’t tell Alia to help him send Greg out because he knew that she had no reason to do that for him when she obviously had plans for Greg.
So he committed suicide and went back in ti to start again. This put him in a bad mood because he had been stuck in the sa place for two tilines and hadn’t made any major progress ever since he decided to tail Skarg and Slav.
If he knew that his stagnation was all because of Slav, he would be in a worse mood. If he knew that Slav was causing him to have bad luck, he would also kill Slav as soon as he awakened in the awakening room to prevent Slav from troubling him.
But he is greedy and wants to be able to track Slav, so he placed a mark on Slav while he went ahead with his things instead of killing Slav. This ti, he reached out to Alia first and didn’t bother signing up for the Earthly Battlefield.
Like the previous tiline, Alia accepted his offer and sent a contract to him. After he signed the contract, she made moves to help him get assigned to Earthly Battlefield E6-137.
So even without registering for the mission, the sect sent a request for him to take up a position as a captain in Earthly Battlefield E6-137.
The sect wasn’t forcing him to take the mission. He could accept it or reject it.
Without thinking about it, he chose to accept the mission. Then he rushed over to Earthly Battlefield E6-137 as soon as possible.
He reported for duty and stayed inside Earthly Battlefield E6-137. Then he ordered the Branch tacs and the other resources that he needed.
A month later, when he was ready, he went to Alia and asked her to help him contact Lady Red.
Alia beca skeptical when she heard his request. She said to him, "Who is Lady Red?"
This question made him roll his eyes at her and say, "Don’t play gas with . I don’t have ti to waste with you."
"Don’t worry. I want to make a deal with her. I am not looking for her to bring trouble to you."
Alia still didn’t believe him, so he said, "How about this? In order to show my sincerity, I am willing to sign a contract with you."
"If you help
arrange a eting with Lady Red, I will do you a favor when you reach rank 5. You can also add in the contract that I mustn’t create trouble for you, and that if you have to pay any price for arranging this eting with her, I will have to pay you double the price you paid."
His offer was tempting, so Alia said, "Make it quadruple the price."
But Loki shook his head and said, "Triple the price is as much as I can go."
The two of them haggled for a while longer. The process was tedious, but it ended in success. He had to sign a disadvantageous contract, but Alia agreed to help him contact Lady Red.
She said, "If not for the fact that you’re useful to
and will help
conquer this Earthly Battlefield, I wouldn’t do this for you. I am not doing it just because of the benefits that you offered."
Loki nodded in understanding and said so perfunctory words. Then he read through the contract to ensure that there was nothing like enslavent within it.
As long as he wasn’t going to lose his freedom to reverse ti anyti he wanted, he was willing to sign anything. But as usual, Alia didn’t try to steal his freedom. All her tricks were just for her to rip him off and earn more in the deal.
After getting her contract, Alia got to work imdiately. The first thing she did was to prepare an excuse to expel Greg from the world.
Alia couldn’t just ask to et Lady Red and bring a stranger along with her. She had to have a good reason for asking for the eting, so she used the sa old thod of sacrificing Greg.
Loki could already guess how she would get Lady Red to appear, and he thought about following Greg and kidnapping the loudmouth when they got outside. But he decided to go along with his original plan since even if he had Greg, Alia was still unlikely to trust him.
However, he waited for Greg to be dismissed for a long ti without any news. When news finally arrived, it was bad news.
Alia sent a ssage to him saying, "Lady Red said that she can’t make it for three months. She said that if we had reached out to her a week ago, she would have had the ti to co. But she is too busy now."
This news surely put him in a bad mood. He cursed his bad luck for a while. Then he committed suicide to start over again.
He decided to reverse ti and start again because his choice was not between wasting one month of his lifespan or wasting three months. He decided that the forr was better, so he decided to give up on this tiline.
