Chapter 155: Thirty Eight New Deals (New)_2

“They killed the Bishop.”

“You kill them.”

Bai Wei’s light words seemed to let Gerard smell the thick scent of blood.

He looked at the photo in his hand again, the smile of the young boy in the photo now blurred.

“This is the content of the trade,” Bai Wei said slowly, “I will assist you, tell you who the people of the New Gods are, and also help you deal with some tough guys. You experienced it last night, all the talents of the New Gods are focused on combating Lyra, so you might not be able to handle their core members, but for me, that’s not a problem, after all…you’ve seen my capabilities.”

Bai Wei finally proposed his trade.

But Gerard did not immediately agree, instead, he looked at him again.

“So, what’s the cost…no.” Gerard felt this question was wrong, so he shook his head and asked slowly and deliberately, “By helping me like this, what is your purpose? What exactly do you want?”

“Can’t I just be kind-hearted, wanting to help you for nothing?” Bai Wei raised Gerard’s eyebrows, “Or perhaps, I find the New God quite unpleasant too, so I want to help Lyra?”

Gerard didn’t speak, he just gazed at Bai Wei’s fingertips with Bai Wei’s “eyes.”

And Bai Wei knew, this question couldn’t be avoided anymore.

But, he wasn’t planning to avoid it.

The time had come to be open about it.

“Do you know what’s in the Polluted Land?”

Gerard was silent for a long time, then gently said, “Your…Corpse Blocks?”

“Oh?” Bai Wei was somewhat surprised, “You already knew?”

“It’s just my guess,” Gerard softly said, “The only thing that would interest you is probably your own power. Just as you took back your eyes and fingers in Rhein, you came to Lyra for the same reason.”

“Heh, since you’ve guessed it, why ask further?”

Gerard said, “But I want to know, which part of your body is it? What power does it have? And, are you…”

“That’s enough, Gerard,” Bai Wei calmly interrupted him, “While I understand you really want to know what you and your team sacrificed everything for ten years ago, these questions…are beyond the scope, I’m not obligated to answer you. You must exchange something for answers, but so far, you’ve brought no more to trade.”

Gerard was momentarily lost for words.

“So, the content of the trade is also very clear; if I do nothing, my share of power will eventually fall into that New God’s hands, making it very difficult to retrieve. So, to prevent such a situation, I’ve decided to help Lyra, and I need you, to ultimately help me retrieve that Corpse Block of mine,” Bai Wei asked, “What do you say? Do you agree to this trade?”

After a long silence, Gerard softly said, “I want a promise from you.”

“You say.”

“After you retrieve your power, whether now or in the future, you’re not allowed to lay hands on the people in this city,” Gerard stared at Bai Wei, “You’re not allowed to harm the people in this city.”

“Heh…I thought it was something else,” Bai Wei said, chuckling lightly. “I can promise you that.”

Having received Bai Wei’s promise, Gerard finally made up his mind, “Alright, I agree to this trade, I will help you retrieve your Corpse Block.”

“Very good, then I also permit you to use my power,” Bai Wei said. “But before that, what about your body?”

Gerard lowered his head, looking at his own body.

As previously mentioned, his metal body was completely destroyed, unusable.

He could use Bai Wei’s power, but couldn’t keep using Bai Wei’s power continuously.

So, the first thing he needed to do was to replace his metal body with a healthy one.

After some thought, Gerard said, “I know a place, maybe it still has what I want, if it’s still there.”

“Can your current body even move?” Bai Wei says slowly, “Don’t forget you’re still wanted, and it’s going to be very troublesome if your movement is hindered.”

Gerard didn’t say much, he just pulled out the metal fragments stuck in his flesh that hindered his movement, and tossed them aside.

The blood quickly diluted under the rain.

“It’s done.”

Saying this, he then walked into the downpour.

…

“Plop.”

A little girl with coffee-colored short hair fell into the muddy water, a bright red mark on her tender face.

This was followed by a series of cheers, then a fat boy with both arms modified into artificial limbs strode forward, grabbed the little girl by her hair, and lifted her up, while loudly mocking her.

“Yo, yo, yo, let’s see who this is, isn’t this that… eh? What’s her name again?” The fat boy looked at his sidekick.

Promptly, the sidekick stepped forward and said, “Report to boss! She’s called Ju!”

“Ju? What a rubbish name,” the fat boy looked at the little girl again, “Weren’t you very tough before? You even dared to hit my sidekick, didn’t you know I’m his boss?”

The little girl, defiant, raised her head, her jet-black eyes staring stubbornly at the fat boy, disdain flickering in her pupils.

“Your sidekick has artificial limbs and still couldn’t beat me, he’s that weak, it seems you as a big brother aren’t much better.”

Hearing Ju say this, the sidekick immediately got frustrated, “You, you, you… If there wasn’t a lock in my limbs, I’d have killed you already!”
