Chapter 442: A Smart Choice
"What do you want to do?" Herman was a little puzzled.

"It's very simple. I want to create an illusion for Hardy that we are unaware of his plan, so that he can continue to operate his giant ranch without rushing to attack us." Cang Ling calmly explain.

"I'm afraid it's more than that simple?" Herman sneered, "Do you want me to be your spy to get information from Hardy?"

Hearing this, Cang Ling almost laughed out loud.

This Herman, the first thing he thought of was not that there was a problem with the transaction, but to spy on information, what a pig brain.

"Of course, if you want." Cang Ling said following Herman's words.

"It depends on what conditions you offer. You know, being a spy is a technical job. If you are not careful, you will die. It is much more dangerous than being a middleman." Herman showed a sly look.

"You really are a profit-seeking person."

"Hmph, is there anything wrong with being mercenary?"

"There is nothing wrong with seeking profit. But it is wrong to seek profit at the expense of other people's interests."

"I'm just a middleman. How can I sacrifice other people's interests? I didn't rob."

"You are providing supplies for our enemies, and there is no difference in collaborating with them. Have you ever thought that if Hadi really invaded the Star Sea, how many people would die because of it? Your comrades, compatriots, and innocent people around you , all will die tragically under the claws of the night devil. The country will fall into war, and even all mankind will go to the road of extinction.”

"What does it matter to me whether human beings perish?" Herman said disdainfully, "I only care about myself!"

"You are really selfish." Cang Ling said coldly.

"Hehe, Master Sergeant. You are a big man, a noble knight with great military exploits. Even if you die, your name will remain in the history books and be praised forever by people. As for me, I am just a small man, and I will not die. Someone is crying for me. What do you think I joined the Knights? Is it for the honors and ideals you talk about? Shit! I just do it for money, for glory and wealth! Stop telling me those rancid principles! I will not be brainwashed by you like those idiots."

"Don't forget, you still have a mother in the territory."

"Ha, my mother died a long time ago. A few days after Downton was executed, she was beaten to death. This is what happened to her following Downton. One died in the mouth of the night devil, and the other died in the fist of the mob Come on, see, this is my parents, shed countless blood and sweat, abandoned the family, and finally got such a result. You won, stepped on our corpses to rise to the top, and promoted to the rank and title. And me? You can change your name and surname, steal your life like a mouse. There are many people like me here—” Herman pointed to the knights who were practicing outside the window, “so many that you can’t even remember their names. They Sooner or later they will die abroad, no one will remember them, and history books will not record them, leaving them with only a meager pension and the endless pain of their loved ones."

"Is this the reason why you betrayed Xinghai and colluded with Hardy?" Cang Ling asked, staring into Herman's eyes.

"Yes, that's right. I won't be as noble as you, and I will consider the life and death of human beings. I'm just a scumbag, and fame and fortune will never be shared with me. If this is the case, why should I die for your ideals? Why can't I live happily ever after?"

"It turns out that you are not angry because of injustice, but because you don't get a share of the pie." Cang Ling said sharply.

"You can say whatever you want! Anyway, don't try to convince me with great principles!" Herman turned his back to Cang Ling.

"Listen to me." Cang Ling grabbed Herman, threw him heavily against the wall, then grabbed his neck with one hand and lifted him up, "What you just said is not wrong , of course you can choose your own path, but you have overlooked one point, that is, people stronger than you will not allow you to do so!"

Herman couldn't breathe from being pinched by Cang Ling, and his face was flushed.Cang Ling didn't intend to let go of his hand at all, his fingers dug deeply into his flesh like iron tongs.

After struggling for two or three minutes, Herman's arrogance disappeared. He tightly grasped Cangling's wrist, showing fear and begging for mercy.

"Let's continue to discuss the deal." Cang Ling let go, and Herman fell to the ground with a thud, curled up into a ball and coughed.

"Listen, I need you to continue doing business with Hardy as if nothing happened. But the content, time and place of the transaction must be reported to me, and I will provide the goods, and you are only responsible for the delivery." Cang Zero looked down at Herman and said, "If you can play the role of a middleman well and not be discovered by Hardy, I will give you what you want most."

"What?" Herman asked, panting.

"Nobility."

Upon hearing this word, Herman's eyes lit up instantly.

Indeed, for him, the title is the most desired thing besides money, even more than money.

With the title of title, one can completely break away from the original class, turn over in one fell swoop, and enter another world from now on, a world that he could only watch from afar before, where he hated, envied and longed for.

"I'll think about it." Herman swallowed, got up and sat on the bed, thinking nervously.

Cang Ling looked at him calmly, she knew that Herman would definitely agree.

The temptation of the title is too great, even Dorian Gray, who is as rich as a country, cannot resist the temptation of the title, let alone a low-level commoner.

"You...can you guarantee your promise?" Herman asked cautiously.

"Of course, I can put my hand on the scripture to assure you, or sign a letter of commitment for you." Cang Ling replied without hesitation.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because I can get far more value than a title from you."

Hearing this, Herman couldn't help being taken aback.

No one has ever told him that he is valuable in this life.

For a moment, Herman felt a sense of being valued.

"What if Hardy finds something wrong?" Herman continued to ask.

"I'll keep you safe."

"How to make sure?"

"You can stop your actions immediately and return to the territory. I will go through the procedure for you to withdraw from the group."

"Can you really give me a title? Do you have such power?" Herman asked again.

"Of course I have."

After Herman lowered his head and thought nervously for a few minutes, he raised his head and replied decisively: "Okay, I'll do it!"

"A smart choice." Cang Ling smiled slightly.
