The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1364: New Deal

"So let me get this straight, you came begging me to help you get to the Renegade Hunter only for your people to send him packing when he hadn’t even taken a step into your ranks," Lord Victor said, his eyes narrowed.

"I know it is bad, Victor. But..."

"There is no but here, Flux. You had a good chance to make a good impression on a young talent like him, and you blew it.

Now, when he hears about the Warrior Tower, all that comes to mind is how much they hate him. Being sent away by twelve Immortal Lords isn’t exactly something he would love."

It can be said that the main reason Klaus chose to meet the representatives from the Warrior Tower and the academy was Lord Victor.

While Klaus already had plans to join them somehow, Lord Victor made it happen. So he knew just what the Warrior Tower had lost because of their arrogance.

"Victor, you should know that not all of us wanted him gone. The order came from one of the Twelve Supreme Elders. His people did all this, so if you can help talk to the Renegade Hunter not to burn all bridges with us, I will owe you one."

"You already owe me one, Flux. What makes you think I want to help you again when you haven’t yet paid me back?"

"Please, Victor. My leader wants this deal with him to happen, and I cannot fail her."

Lord Victor stayed silent for a few minutes before he nodded. "I will see what I can do. But remember, whatever he says, you must remember that and honour it. He had already risked his life by coming all the way."

"Thank you, Victor. I will surely pay you back in full."

After that, he hung up. He had a lot riding on this deal with Klaus. While on the surface things seemed simple, underneath, there were many schemes that could not be ignored, even if he wanted to.

The truth is, they needed Klaus for his expertise and courage. They may be part of the Warrior Tower, but that doesn’t mean they all believe in some of the decisions the Warrior Tower makes.

His side of the faction wanted Klaus, while the other side opposed it.

Lord Victor sighed. "What a bunch of idiots. If you knew who you were pushing away, I am sure you would be on your knees begging him right now."

From what his father told him, the Paragon is no enemy of the heavens. It is the Heavens Court that made him look like one, so he knew pushing Klaus away was the biggest mistake anyone could ever make.

If the heavens see him as a threat, then there is a chance he is bigger than the heavens. This means they are threatened by him...

He dialled Rory’s number, and in no time, she answered. "Father, what is wrong?"

Rory asked, looking straight at her father.

"Put Klaus on. I need to talk to him."

Rory nodded and handed the communicator to Klaus, who looked relaxed in his chair, almost as if he hadn’t just been sent away by twelve Immortal Lords.

"I heard what happened. Are you okay?"

"I am fine, Lord Victor. While unexpected, I don’t really have any obligation to please any of them."

Lord Victor nodded. "Lord Flux called me. It seems the deal they signed with you wasn’t approved by everyone. So he called and asked not to burn the bridges with him completely. Can you do that?"

Klaus thought for a moment, and instead of answering, he asked a question. "What do you think, Lord Victor? Just tell me what you think."

"Personally, I think the Warrior Temple is too chaotic for you to join. They are arrogant and dangerous. From what I learned, the order to send you packing came from a Supreme, so you can only imagine how much danger you were in.

However, when it comes to Flux personally, I have fought alongside him on multiple occasions, and I can boldly say he is a good person. He has had my back many times, so having a good relationship with him is beneficial.

So the question now is, do you still want to join them or burn the last bridge with them?"

Yet again, Klaus thought for a moment, millions of variations running through his mind as he analysed all he had heard from Lord Victor, and so he could come up with a good outcome.

The mere idea that a Supreme ordered him to be sent packing was all he needed to know about the kind of people he was dealing with.

But even if they aren’t that dangerous, considering he has the Mission Hall backing him, just the idea that there are those who hate the idea of him joining the Warrior Tower is all the reason he needs to stop whatever relationship they can have.

But then again, there is Lord Flux, whom even Lord Victor speaks highly of. He is the outlier, the only person Klaus can trust. But his standing is a bit too low for Klaus to rely on him for his safety.

"You said the decision came from a Supreme, right? Does that mean there is a Supreme backing Lord Flux, too?"

"Yes. There are twelve Supreme Elders of the Warrior Tower. One of them wanted you to join, while the other wanted you gone."

"That is good to hear." Klaus paused for a moment, then added, "Kindly tell Lord Flux I want to have a face-to-face meeting with his boss. It can be in person or in the Dark Space.

Before I make any decision, I want to meet them first."

Lord Victor raised his brow for a few seconds before he nodded. "I will relay your message. Whatever decision they reach, I will let you know right away."

"Thank you."

The call ended, and Klaus handed the communicator to Rory. She put it away and turned back toward Klaus. She remained there for a few more seconds before she asked,

"What are you planning?"

"Nothing fancy, just making sure that in the future, instead of having issues with the Warrior Tower, they would cry and beg me to join them."

Rory furrowed her brow. "I honestly don’t know what is going on in your head, but just be careful. The Warrior Tower, as my dad said, is terrifying. They have some of the most deadly warriors in the universe, so be careful when dealing with them."

"I will be careful. Plus, for what it is worth, they also have no idea the kind of danger they are playing with. So in the end, it will be whoever is the most dangerous who wears the crown."

Klaus smiled and closed his eyes to rest. Now that the deal with the Warrior Tower was null, he would have to sign a new deal.

But before that happened, he first had to meet the Supreme, who wanted him to join the Warrior Tower in the first place.

Until then, he would be heading back to Planet Baski and wait there for his main body to handle what he had left to do on Earth.

As for his request to meet with Lord Flux’s boss, that would also take some time to process. After all, there was the issue of rejecting him in the first place to be addressed.
