Looking at the human man in front of him who was wearing a black night suit and covering his face, the bishop thought a lot in his mind at that moment.

And just as the bishop was thinking this, Luo Ji, who had changed his appearance, spoke up...

"Your Excellency, the Bishop, must have guessed my origin."

"Scarlett Group..."

There was a bit of uncertainty in the bishop's voice.

This part was not very certain, not because he was unsure about Luo Ji's identity, but because he didn't know how a human could go from the Lower City to the Upper City, or even sneak into the Cathedral of the Holy Light and stand there as if appearing out of thin air.

Behind him!

This point really puzzled him.

During this period, when faced with the answer given by the bishop, Luo Ji did not deny it, but admitted it openly.

"Yes, I am indeed from the Scarlet Group."

"So you came to kill me?"

When he said these words, the bishop's heart was obviously in his throat.

And what Luo Ji said next undoubtedly made his heart return to his stomach.

"No, I'm here to negotiate with His Excellency the Bishop, as a representative of the Scarlet Group."

That's right, Luo Ji didn't come to assassinate the bishop tonight, because once the bishop dies, things will only get worse than they are now.

But just like before, using ordinary means, he might not even get a chance to negotiate with the bishop in front of him. He had no choice but to resort to some extraordinary means.

His answer made the bishop relieved, but also a little surprised.

In the eyes of the bishop, the humans in the Lower City were dirty and uncivilized barbarians. It was hard for him to imagine that he would hear the word "negotiation" from these barbarians.

And precisely because of this, his first reaction was that the other party came to kill him. After all, this is what barbarians often do.

But in any case, considering his current situation, it is naturally the best thing for the bishop that the other party is willing to negotiate.

The bishop took a long breath and adjusted his thoughts, trying to sound more polite.

After all, your life is still in the opponent's hands.

However, this bishop has obviously never done such a thing, so the tone of his words at this time was always a bit awkward.

"So, who are you?"

"Anyway, I'm definitely not our boss. Your Excellency, the Bishop, can call me 'negotiator'. In this negotiation, I fully represent the Scarlet Group."

The point of Luo Ji's words was to let the bishop know that he was not 'Scarlet', so as to dispel some unnecessary thoughts of the other party.

The bishop was not stupid, so he naturally understood the meaning of these words.

With a mentality of 'buying time to see if he can find a way to escape', the bishop began to follow Luo Ji's words and ask questions...

"Then what do you want to talk to me about?"

Of course the bishop knew what Luo Ji wanted to talk to him about.

At this point in time, does it matter what the other party wants to talk to him about?

But in order to buy time, he would pretend to be confused even on things he clearly knew.

The bishop's little thought could not escape Luo Ji's eyes.

Although the bishop made a mistake in the Holy City and was demoted to this remote city, he is definitely not stupid. It is impossible for him to not guess such a simple thing.

Regarding this, Luo Ji unceremoniously exposed the other party's thoughts...

"Your Excellency, Bishop, please stop using your mind. I can guarantee that if there is any trouble, I will kill you as soon as possible."

When Luo Ji said the words 'kill you', Luo Ji deliberately slowed down his tone, and combined with his calm tone, added a bit of chill to his words, making the bishop's neck feel cold.

, all got goosebumps.

"I came to negotiate with you with sincerity, so the bishop should put away all the extra thoughts and concentrate on the negotiation."

"Sincerity?"

The bishop who heard this word couldn't help but sneered, and then expressed annoyance...

"Then you are really sincere!"

He simply couldn't bear it. When had he ever suffered such a crime?

However, Luo Ji's next reaction almost made him spit out a mouthful of blood.

Luo Ji spread his hands and shrugged.

"is not that right?"

Although the other party hid his face, through his tone, the bishop seemed to see the innocent expression on the other party's face. This really made him very angry, but even so, he did not change his determination to buy time.

It's that 'I don't know what you want to talk to me about' look.

Facing this battle, Luo Ji was speechless and at the same time, he directly showed his cards...

"You want to exterminate the Scarlet Group and beautify your achievements so as to gain the opportunity to return to the Holy City. Do you have anything to add to this point?"

"..."

This matter itself is not a secret among a certain group of wingmen, but the bishop never expected that he would hear these words from a human.

At this moment, the bishop really didn't know what to say.

Luo Ji would not wait for him to react slowly, even though he had absolute confidence to kill the bishop before an unexpected situation happened.

But that doesn't actually make much sense.

If his purpose was to kill the bishop, he would have done it long ago.

But that's not his purpose. He came to negotiate with the bishop!

In order to increase the success rate of his operation, Luo Ji was unequivocal and quickly spoke of his opinions...

"Your Excellency the Bishop was demoted because he made mistakes in the Holy City. In other words, in the eyes of the people in power in the Holy City, there is a 'stain' on Your Excellency the Bishop. Under this premise, I want to come to the Holy City."

I'm afraid not every person in power there wants you to go back, otherwise you wouldn't have been demoted to this remote city from the beginning. Do you agree with this?"

When Luo Ji said these words, the bishop's eyes flickered uncontrollably. There was no doubt that Luo Ji's words were completely on point.

Judging from the intelligence they have learned so far, there are power struggles among multiple parties in the country. As long as the bishop in front of him belongs to a certain party, there must be a rival party.

Under this situation, the core concepts of Luo Ji's original plan can stand!

After that, regardless of what the bishop was thinking, Luo Ji seized the time and continued talking...

"Under such a stain, the merit you originally imagined may not be a merit."
Chapter completed!
