End Times, Surviving with My Beastly Army novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354 A Deal

Finished

Jack let out a low laugh. “Donald, do you think my base is some struggling little outfit? A few hundred sacks of grain, and you think that’s enough to sit at our table? Give me a break”

Donald had known from the start that this negotiation wasn’t going to be a clean one.

So when Jack said that, he didn’t flinch. He kept his posture respectful and his voice steady. “Of course that’s not all we’re offering. The grain is just a token of our respect for you, Mr. Neel. As for the rest of the terms, you name them. Whatever we can deliver, we’ll put it on the table to prove we’re serious.”

Other terms?

Jack’s eyes narrowed into thin, calculating slits.

He’d been racking his brain for a way to get Vivian into Vernon Base’s fold ever since he’d seen what she could do. And now this opportunity had essentially walked through his tent flap on its own two feet.

Something solidified in Jack’s thinking, but his face revealed absolutely nothing. “Other terms? Donald, you really are underestimating us. Anything your base has, we have it as well. We never need to ask anything from the likes of you.”

Donald shook his head in rapid, emphatic denial. “No, no, no, Mr. Neel, that’s not what this is at all. We know exactly how powerful your base is. You don’t lack for anything, and we’d never presume otherwise. This isn’t us offering something you need. This is us voluntarily bringing something to you.

“You having something and us choosing to offer it are two entirely different things. At the very least, it shows you that our desire to work together is completely genuine.”

Every word landed exactly where it needed to. The flattery was precise and never tipped into excess, and Jack’s pride soaked it up like dry ground after rain.

He gave a satisfied nod. “Alright then. Tell me what kind of arrangement you’re actually proposing.”

A cold, vicious glint passed through Donald’s eyes, and he dropped his voice even lower. “We want to… make Robin disappear. Quietly. Without a trace.”

Even Jack jolted at that. “Make… make Robin disappear?”

He’d assumed Tyrant Base wanted to make her suffer a little, teach her a lesson, maybe rough things up for

her.

He hadn’t expected them to be talking about ending her life outright.

“You’re not serious.”

Jack’s expression darkened into something heavy and complicated. The idea was bold to the point of being

almost absurd.

Robin had put him through genuine humiliation today, and yes, the thought had crossed his mind. But it had stayed a thought. It hadn’t gone anywhere near action.

And here was Tyrant Base, already moving toward execution.

“We are completely serious about this!” Donald said, his voice firm with conviction.

He leaned in, his tone shifting into something more measured and persuasive. “Mr. Neel, I know you and Robin may have had some history before everything fell apart. Maybe that’s why you’ve been holding back. But that woman has shown zero interest in honoring any of it.

“And now that she’s this powerful, with that attitude of hers, there’s no chance she’s looking to make peace with your base. That means, going forward, you’ve got a very dangerous enemy building strength right in front of you.”

Jack’s expression hardened. “Is that a threat?”

“Absolutely not!”

Donald kept his exasperation buried somewhere no one could see it. This man spent an exhausting amount of energy looking for angles that weren’t there.

But his face stayed pleasant and open. “Mr. Neel, I’m just laying out reality. In a world like this one, a person who’s too powerful to be your friend has a strong chance of becoming your enemy. She’s already this formidable, and there’s no ceiling in sight. The longer we wait, the harder it gets to stop her before she becomes something none of us can handle.

“We should take her out while we can.”

Jack felt the pull of it.

Donald wasn’t wrong. A person this powerful, who wouldn’t align with you, was a future threat by

definition.

His voice settled into something low and deliberate. “Alright. You’re clearly committed, so let’s start with

our terms.”

Donald bit down
