Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 1099: A Deal Is A Deal

Chapter 1099: A Deal Is A Deal



Alen, from the corner of his eye, was looking at the panicked people that were in the center. He then looked toward the Dark Guild mages. He knew the gist of the situation from the news broadcast, and he was hoping by his surprise entry he could deal with multiple of the Dark Guild members.

One's first instinct when they had an attacker was to defend themselves or to attack the person attacking them. They didn't think of using hostages until they felt like their back was truly up against the wall.

What Alen didn't count on was that there would be someone who was able to match his power. Derailing all of his plans, it allowed the members of the Dark Guild to stay calm, and with it, they now had all of their hands pointed towards the hostages. It was the worst position for Alen to be in.

'I went past several of the police officers on the way here. They must be gathered outside just now, but they won't come in so hastily... in this type of situation, it might even be a good thing,' Alen thought as he looked towards the man.

"As I said, we have no interest in the people here," Raze continued as he could see various thoughts were running through Alen's mind. "We have already split the blood that needed to be split. Right now, I guarantee that no blood will be shed further unless it's necessary."

Normally, Raze wouldn't try such a thing, such a negotiation with an individual. He knew there were plenty of people who would go back on their word, say what needed to be said to gain an advantage in the situation. In Raze's world, it wasn't good to trust anyone; however, he had dealt with Alen, and now he was using this knowledge to his advantage.

"A deal goes both ways, you bastard!" Alen shouted. "So what do you want?"

"All members of the Dark Guild are free to leave this place. No one is to tail them for at least five minutes. After that, they can do as they wish. To earn your trust, I will stay here with you and with the people.@@@@

"If the order is not complete, then the people inside here die?"

Raze staying with Alen was two parts to the deal. For one, he would be worried that Raze could eliminate all of the hostages, and as for the second part, Alen would feel like he had a chance to capture the main man behind it all.

Besides all of that, even if the deal was unfairly in Alen's favor, he would happily have done anything to save the people because that's just what type of person he was.

Some of them had thought about it for a second as they saw the last Dark Guild member leave the room, but they stayed put, hearing Raze's words. His voice deep and clear, with the power to follow through with his words.

On the outside, several vehicles had been parked up, surrounding the guild base. They stayed quite far away, not entering the territory of the guild base, staying just outside of the patched grass and onto the main road.

Alen had already come out and talked with the chief officer in charge.

"What do you mean, let them go!" The chief shouted. "We're talking about mass murderers in here, and they all know Dark Magic as well. If we let them go, my head will be on a plank!"

"And would you rather have so many people die inside instead!" Alen shouted. "We are talking with those that have already killed. At least the guild were the only ones that were hurt; we're talking about children in there as well!"

The chief was mumbling to himself as he was thinking about what to do, and in the middle of it all, he could see several Dark Mages coming out, rushing from the guild base. They weren't just using Dark magic this time; they were using all of the elements to get as far away as they could while also staying out of sight.

Several of the officers acted out, firing magical spells out toward the Dark mages. In an instant, though, Alen swung his arm, and a large line of fire covered part of the sky. It hit all of the magic spells, almost absorbing the attacks.

"I'm telling you now!" Alen said. "I won't let those people inside die!"
