Omega Summoner

Chapter 2865: Hanu’s Predicament

Adrian was about to cleanse his hands off with what is about to happen next since he already got what he came for but seeing Hanu beg him made him rethink his decisions. Just as the goddess before him has said, he already did his job which meant that he no longer has any jurisdiction to stop them from pursuing Hanu. The only problem is that the one that is trying to be claimed by the goddess is now groveling at his feet.

It is not just Hanu that is trying to earn his sympathy but also Safed. The cute white monkey is looking at Adrian with its teary eyes. Those eyes are something that no one can easily resist. Adrian wanted to ignore the pleading Hanu and Safed but he knows that they cannot escape with how weakened they are.

”I am the reason why they are weakened right now and that his monkey beast companions are still out cold. If I just leave them be then they are basically preys to these power-hungry beings.” Adrian thought.

”Why do you need the demi human when he no longer has what you want?” Adrian asked as he is curious why they need Hanu when the thing that they want from him is no longer there.

”I believe that my business is also something that the mediator does not need to know since you also did not give me an answer on what happened with the divine spark. It is best that we keep our businesses between ourselves so that there are no future problems.” The goddess stated but the warnings in her words are evident as if telling Adrian to back off and not pry too much.

”If that is the case then I should get some compensation for rendering them incapable to escape. You should give me something since I just made your jobs a lot easier. It would be unfair to me when I basically did the work for you. This is now outside the fact of my official duties when I retrieved that soul fragment.” Adrian stated with the most straight-faced look that would render anyone speechless.

Adrian’s words stunned the crowd of hunters before him and even the goddess that has comebacks could not find a way out of the logic that he gave. What Adrian told them is the absolute truth after all since he basically did their work for him. If he did not weaken Hanu and the monkey beasts, their entire squad of hunters would be in a confrontation of the other group.

In fact, Adrian can easily say that some of these hunters would definitely die at the hands of Hanu and the monkey beasts. If all of these hunters were at the level of Nukeela then they might be able to take Hanu without them having casualties but they are not at the same level. The fact that even the goddess which employed them sneaked in with them means that they are not trustworthy.

”This is not fair, mediator. You already got the divine spark and now you are preventing us from getting the boy.” The goddess argued with unfairness since she could not think of an excuse.

”What is unfair? I did all the work in weakening them and even capturing them if you think about it. If you want to have them then compensate me for it. If you do not compensate me then I will be forced to fight all of you and I have not moved as much as I wanted. Having fairly decent opponents will definitely sharpen the weapons that I have gotten.” Adrian stated as his grin slipped when he thought of fighting enemies that are basically war freaks.

Adrian’s real personality slipped for a moment as his battle junkie side is blazing. He is actually trying to taunt the hunters in attacking him so that he has moving targets to use his armaments on. The goddess noticed the slight change in the face of the mediator and suddenly felt that her head would be separated from her body. Even if she knows that she has the hunters, these punks would definitely escape if they were at a disadvantage.

”If it is compensation then what does the mediator want?” The goddess asked as she might be able to give something to Adrian.

”I do not know but you best make it good. Tell me, what compensation is equal to his life?” Adrian asked a question that made the goddess stutter.

The goddess is not a fool to answer lightly because the being before her is the Mediator of Death. If she answered that Hanu’s life is not precious then she would be seen as a goddess that takes life lightly. Even gods are afraid of karmic retribution from the gods of life and death as they can impose sanctions on divine beings that treat life lightly. The karmic retribution is not instant but it can drive a god or goddess to madness.

”You are placing me in a difficult spot once again, mediator. You are not being impartial which is already a breach of your duties.” The goddess argued.

”If all of you arrived when I was already gone then we would not even be having this argument. The fact that you showed yourselves despite sensing my presence means all of you have ill intent. All of you should be grateful that I did not kill all of you as soon as you appeared.” Adrian stated as he felt the bloodlust and killing intent directed at him as soon as these hunters arrived.

”Tch! I already told these buffoons to wait and check first. It is my oversight to hire these dimwits just because I am greedy for that divine spark. I am not the only goddess that wants it but leaving without getting something is not something I can stand.” The goddess thought as a pristine pearl shell suddenly dropped before her.

”Take it and leave. If you do, then I will forget everything that transpired here.” Adrian stated as he pulled something slightly precious out from his inventory.
