The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 829 - 24 Your Daughter is in My Hands!_3
“How much does that jar of wine cost? I’ll compensate!”
“Not much, just thirty carts of Gold.”
Luo En coldly retorted, his tone no longer as friendly as before towards Eden, as if he harbored a grudge over the wine’s ruin.
Hearing this outrageous asking price, Eden’s eyes widened; his hand clutching the purse trembled slightly.
Thirty carts of Gold?
What drink is so precious to be worth this much!
Heluo, sensing Eden’s confusion, cried and chirped about the origins of the wine, adding her own artistic flair in the process.
After hearing the explanation, Eden opened his mouth, speechless.
Well, if it’s proof of the blood pact between Divine King Odin and Fire God Loki, thirty carts of Gold really isn’t expensive.
“It’s okay, at the most, my father will just thrash me.”
Heluo continued to play the cordial mediator, ready to throw herself into the fray for her friend.
The naive Dwarf lass could not resist this maneuver; impetuously, she exclaimed:
“Thirty carts of Gold, I’ll give it!”
“Do you have that much money?” Luo En expressed doubt.
Eden earnestly replied, “I don’t, but maybe my father and uncles can scrape it together.”
Luo En nodded slightly and waved his hand:
“Alright, contact them, and have your family come here to talk.”
Upon hearing this, Eden, as if granted amnesty, quickly went outside the house to set up the Resonance Technique to exchange messages with her father.
Watching her own father’s meticulous antics of lifting and putting down the operation, Heluo finally realized the deception.
That’s wrong, his purpose isn’t the money but to use the demand for money as a pretext to trick Dwarfs into forging a sword for Hela!
So, regarding the deal that we split the proceeds seventy-thirty afterward, who knows how much I’ll actually receive!
Heluo’s nose tingled, and she gazed resentfully at her cunning father.
“Swindler!”
“Come on, look at the bigger picture. Once it succeeds, you’ll be assured benefits far exceeding those nine carts of Gold.”
“Really?”
“I swear on my life!”
“This is your promise, I’ve recorded everything.”
At that moment, the previously weepy Heluo deftly pulled out a flickering Rune Stone, her face wearing a cunning smile.
Luo En’s expression darkened at the sight, readying to pick up a vine to discipline his ungrateful daughter, as the lass Eden ran back:
“The spell is ready.”
“Then why did you run back?”
“I, I’m afraid to say…”
The lass shyly spoke, both timid and baffled.
Luo En sighed, turning to look at Hela.
“You do it.”
Since it was her affair, Hela unhesitatingly nodded and stepped outside the door onto the open ground. She activated the Resonance Technique, pondered for a moment, and then slowly began:
“Your daughter is in our hands!”
Immediately, sounds of things falling inside the Resonance Technique resounded, followed by a rough, angry roar.
“Dare to touch my daughter? I’ll fight you!”
“I advise you to calm down, you wouldn’t want to not see her, right?”
Hela coolly reminded, attempting to soothe the Dwarf father’s emotions.
And it worked immediately, the voice on the other end subsided:
“Don’t mess around, let’s talk nicely, she’s my only daughter.”
Hela was about to get to the point when Luo En abruptly cut off the Resonance Technique, his face fraught with frustration:
“I told you to notify, not extort! You don’t know how to speak, go away, go away! Heluo, you handle it!”
He then pushed Hela aside and handed the communication task to his more tactful and clever foster daughter.
When the technique reconnected, Heluo confidently stepped forward and elegantly inquired:
“Please come to Heather Island in Midgard World within three days to take your daughter back, and bring thirty carts of Gold with you, alright?”
“Clang~~”
Louder collision noises came from the Resonance Technique, and the grinding roar was painfully loud:
“Thirty carts of Gold? Why don’t you just rob me?”
“How about nine carts then? We can make up the rest with forging materials and your craftsmanship.”
Before Heluo could negotiate further, an incensed Luo En again forcibly cut off the communication, kicking away the Rune Stone manipulated by his rebellious daughter.
“Damn brat!”
After two consecutive mishaps, Luo En decided to personally intervene and negotiate with the Dwarf, Ivald.
But as he reactivated the Resonance Technique, a voice, suppressed with rage, came from the other side.
“I can consider nine carts of Gold, but I want to hear my daughter’s voice first, or there’s no deal!”
Then, without waiting for Luo En to speak, the connection was abruptly severed.
Despite his attempts, each time the voice on the other end heard a male, it would not allow him to speak more and promptly hung up, eventually even changing the communication Secret Text of the Resonance Technique.
The more he explained, the darker it became…
Luo En reluctantly stepped aside, gesturing weakly:
“Eden, it’s better if you explain.”
“Oh, oh…”
Hearing her name called, the timid lass trembled as she approached the Resonance Technique; waiting for it to light up again, her lips quivered and she wailed with a crying voice:
“Father, bring the money to save me!”

She then glanced at her two badly beaten friends, highlighting the severity of the situation.
“If you’re late, people will die!”
“Bang!”
The Resonance Technique was overwhelmed by a surge of chaotic Magic Power.
Through the last dissipating light, Luo En vaguely saw a muscular, red-bearded Dwarf, carrying a Forging Hammer larger than a mammoth’s head, storming out of his house. Calling friends along, he led over a hundred armed relatives, furiously towards Heather Island in Midgard World.
“You…”
Luo En glanced back at the three cunning lasses standing behind him, momentarily speechless.
Now, it had really turned into a kidnapping.
