Supremacy Games

"What are you planning to do?"

Seeing that everyone had their eyes on him, Arthur disclosed with a flat tone, "You either keep me as the Sages King and maintain things as it is. Or, I will make sure to sign as many non-beneficial contracts to your empires as possible before you can convince my people to replace me."

"Just to let you know." King Arthur smirked coldly, "Unlike you guys, I doubt it will be easy to convince them that their beloved king is an outsider, who meant harm to them."

Everyone's expression turned for the worst after hearing his conditions.

They knew that Arthur might not have enough authority to negate some serious contract with the alliance, but he could easily make trading for scrolls a living hell!

Naturally, this was going to affect the Sage Race much worse, but since Arthur was already going to be disposed off either ways, he didn't give a sh*t.

"Arthur, you are really playing with fire." Emperor Lokhil warned with a solemn tone.

"Am I?" Arthur rested a cheek on his backhand and mentioned casually, "How about this. Whoever approves of me remaining as the Sages King will get 15% discount permanently on epic and legendary scrolls purchases."

'15% permanent discount!!'

'Is he for real?!'

'I must have this!'

The moment he said so, everyone had a slight change of expression as hints of greed started manifesting in their pupils.

15% discount might not seem like much when buying a single article, but when was it applied on a whole trade and permanent nevertheless? It was priceless!

Especially when it was applied on something as expensive and important as epic/legendary scrolls!

Just one legendary scroll could cost from 10 billion SC to 1 trillion SC depending on its effect...15% discount on such single use scrolls would save billions of coins on each scroll!

"Honestly, I prefer to have Arthur as the Sages King...His true identity might have shocked me a little, but I don't really mind it that much when we will have an entire race of them joining us soon." The Spider Kin's Princess Maeralya shared with a faint smile.

"How nice of you." Arthur's eyelids twitched after recalling that she had the nastiest curses thrown at him before.

"I feel the same way...Arthur has been a vital member of the alliance's leadership, and it will be a shame to replace him with someone unworthy of a ruler's position." Shadowborns Ruler Hogan supported with a flat tone, seeming like he was reading from a script.
