I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1130 - 1039: The Meaning of Six
Six?
After hearing Leon’s response, the Scorpio Director blinked in confusion.
What does six mean? Not handing over the remaining six Original Sin Demon Gods? Finding a way to delay for six days? Or...
"I’m back."
Just when the Scorpio Director was puzzled about Leon’s last word before he "hung up," the Capricorn Director returned with a peaceful expression, having finished his dispute with the Nine Angels, and sighed slightly embarrassingly:
"The negotiation didn’t go very smoothly..."
’Damn it!!!’
"They still refuse to change the conditions."
’Are these nine damn fools brain-dead?!!!’
"Even if I’m willing to stay as a hostage to ensure that the Original Sin Demon Gods will be delivered after it’s all over, they still insist on completing the conditions first."
’A bunch of weird birds, they really think they’re rulers of the world? Want everything but don’t want to do anything! Such big faces! Damn it!!!’
"Ah..."
Looking at the Capricorn Director who had a "two-faced" conversation, the Scorpio Director, feeling a bit dizzy, managed to ask after a pause:
"Did they mention why they insist on those conditions?"
"They did, and the reason is somewhat reasonable."
’They did! That’s what’s so damn infuriating!!!’
"Because the Ang Shen Cult has influenced too many Angels. They’re worried that after solving the Slaughter King Association’s issue, Leon will bring the Original Sin Demon Gods up and control Heavenly Mountain again. So, they demand lifting control of the Original Sin Demon Gods and handing over the seven Original Sin Demon Gods, or they absolutely won’t release anyone."
’Whether it’s these nine fools or that damn cult leader, I’ve had it with these idiots! Damn it! At such a time, they’re still thinking about balance? I’ll balance your *****! What’s so worth protecting about your damn Heavenly Mountain? You really think we have no temper!!!’
"I’ll think about it later, see if I can find a way to make them understand our difficulties and make the conditions more reasonable. The Bureau has done a lot of cooperation with Heavenly Mountain in the past, there’s no need to make things too stiff."
’Luckily, I’m pretty good-tempered! If Cancer or Aquarius were here, with their temper, they’d probably blow everything up right away! Oh, don’t tell Aquarius about this, he’s young and hot-tempered, I’m afraid he’ll ruin things impulsively.’
"Wait... wait a minute, you wait a moment!"
Being confused by Capricorn Director’s "dual-narration," Scorpio Director waved his hand to signal him to shut up, leaving himself some time to react, then said somewhat blankly:
"Well, I just... oh no."
Realizing he replied to the wrong "channel," Scorpio Director quickly switched back to "private chat" and said somewhat sheepishly:
’I just chatted with Aquarius a bit and told him the Nine Angels’ conditions, you see...’
"What?!!"
Startled by Scorpio Director’s words, Capricorn Director tensed up and hurriedly asked:
’What did Aquarius say? How did he react to those conditions?’
’Uh... He seemed a bit upset, but his reaction wasn’t very intense?’
Recalling the conversation with Leon, Scorpio Director warmly comforted:
’Don’t worry, I feel Aquarius’ personality is actually quite good, not as exaggerated as you say.’
’??? Are you serious???’
’Really.’
Scorpio Director thought for a moment, then somewhat embarrassedly gave an example:
’Last time I spoke so unpleasantly, he wasn’t mad at me. He didn’t even need an apology, just casually moved past it. And after I told him the Nine Angels’ conditions, though he seemed unhappy hearing it, he still agreed one by one.
It was only at the end when he heard there’s a time limit requiring it to be done within two days that he seemed a bit angry but didn’t say anything unpleasant... Honestly, I feel Aquarius should be a fairly steady person, maybe you’ve misunderstood him.’’
’...’
Is that so? Aquarius... steady? Did I really misunderstand him?
After hearing Scorpio Director’s retelling, Capricorn Director froze for a moment, his originally tense mood eased a lot, and with a hint of respect he said:
’Even I am terribly angered by those bird people, I thought Aquarius would certainly be very angry and prepared to bring the Original Sin Demon Gods directly up. If it’s true, then Aquarius has really grown a lot... By the way.’
Mentioning this, Capricorn Director seemed to suddenly remember something and curiously asked:
’What did Aquarius say after hearing the time limit request? Did he agree or disagree?’
’That... I’m not very sure.’
Scorpio Director, hearing this, thought for a moment, then shook his head full of confusion and said:
’He just said six, then didn’t respond. No matter how I asked him, there was no movement... Capricorn, you know Aquarius better than me, is he busy suppressing those six Original Sin Demon Gods?’
Six?
After hearing this, Capricorn Director subconsciously took a deep breath, feeling tingles on his back.
Based on what I know about Aquarius... he’s not planning to come up in six hours, is he?!!
...
"All six of you, come over."
After beckoning to the bewildered Original Sin Demon Gods, Leon, who had actively disconnected the call, kicked open the Lazy Demon God’s coffin lid, then, with a somewhat unhappy face, demanded:
"The Nine Angels just woke up, I’m planning to fight up, strive to resolve Heavenly Mountain within two days... You six have fought the Nine Angels for so long, you should be familiar with their circumstances, now tell me the capabilities and situations of each of the Nine Angels!"
"???" x5
"zzz" x1
Facing Leon’s sudden strange decision, the Original Sin Demon Gods glanced at each other in mixed emotions. Then, Lust Demon God cautiously asked:
"Leon... Sir, why do you suddenly want to fight Heavenly Mountain?"
Why fight Heavenly Mountain?
Leon glanced at Lust Demon God full of confusion but didn’t answer her immediately. Instead, he reassessed the current situation in his mind.
The Nine Angels and the seven Original Sin Demon Gods are known to be at similar levels. Although one Gluttonous Demon God is now missing, there are still himself, Capricorn, Virgo, Scorpio Directors, and six Zodiac Bureau Chiefs.
Even if the Directors individually are slightly weaker than the Nine Angels, Virgo Director can’t act, but suppressing one Nine Angel with two people is no problem, and if the six Zodiac Bureau Chiefs join forces, they can forcefully bring out half a [Coronal Sun], purely in terms of combat strength, they have the advantage.
As long as he moves fast enough, rushing in before Heavenly Mountain makes up its mind, there’s a high probability to quickly resolve the Nine Angels, then continue with the advantage to tackle the incoming Crimson Overlord and Omnia Cicada.
But if they continue negotiating with the Nine Angels, or even actively accept weakening, then their side loses the initiative, and when the Crimson Overlord and Omnia Cicada arrive, they might even have to look to Heavenly Mountain’s face.
Moreover, considering the Ang Shen Cult matter, if the Nine Angels are worried about him coveting Heavenly Mountain, there’s even the possibility of them turning to ally with the Slaughter King Association, which is absolutely unacceptable for him.
So even if what the Nine Angels want is simply "security" for Heavenly Mountain, hoping to get a guarantee while holding cards, he can absolutely not give this "security" either!
Once again confirming what he should do, Leon looked at the puzzled Original Sin Demon Gods and seriously answered:
"Because I can’t afford to gamble, neither can they."
