Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide
Chapter 151 Bidding
The policy document in Hull's hand was enough to decide the life and death of Noor Ghana and Goering.
It is foreseeable that if Noor Ghana successfully covered up the evidence of his dereliction of duty, Goering would never be able to get out of prison in his lifetime.
No, in order to prevent future troubles he would definitely find an opportunity to kill Goering.
The same is true in reverse. Once Nur Ghana loses power, Goering will launch a crazy revenge against Nur Ghana.
The two people have reached a life-and-death situation.
In this way, Hull, who stood between the two of them and held the key to the comeback, became the one they must fight for.
That's right, Hull wanted to put their lives on an equal scale and finally sell the chance to survive to the party that offered a higher price.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Noor Ghana didn't catch up, Hull sneered and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't come. Anyway, as long as I can get a satisfactory amount of money, I don't care who the client is."
Hull didn't say anything and walked towards the dungeon. Nur Gana behind him said, "Hey... Hey... Wait a minute! I'll give you fifty... No! Sixty platinum coins!" while desperately chasing after him.
On the way, Nur Ghana met the secretaries who came to look for him.
"Turn Helheim's office upside down and make sure you find the solution."
Noor Ghana whispered orders to the secretary.
"Sir...what do you mean...?"
"Idiot! Don't you even understand this? Anyway—"
Of course, Hull noticed this strangeness, he stopped and smiled.
"It seems that you have no intention of trading with me..."
Nur Ghana, who was plotting with his secretary, immediately reacted and forced a smile on his face.
"Since I've proposed a deal, you won't have a chance to find the document. Even if you search my office and my house, it's useless. However, I don't like your attitude towards the deal. Okay, then I'll sell it to Minister Goering at a bargain price of ten platinum coins."
"This...how can this be possible!!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. If someone does something bad and doesn't have to accept punishment, some people will just take advantage of it."
"I'm sorry! It's my fault!" Nur Gana slid down to his knees and floated in front of Hull.
Hull sneered. This acting consul was no longer so dignified.
The secretary looked at Nur Ghana and was surprised that the high-ranking deputy consul would be so polite to a lower-level political official.
Just like a pet...
"I'm glad you understand. Then, let's go. If you do anything strange next time, I will give the file to Minister Goering for free, just as a favor to him. I also ask you to understand your current situation-"
"——I am saving you now..."
"Yes……"
The two walked up the spiral staircase together and came to the dark dungeon.
Hull gave Goering, whose eyes were lifeless, a hearty smile.
——Goering looks much older than before, and his hair has almost fallen out. It is not known whether it fell out naturally or he pulled it out himself.
"Long time no see, Minister Goering..."
"Ah! W...what are you doing here!?"
Like a frightened puppy, Goering quickly hid in the corner and bared his teeth at Hull outside the cell.
That look made Huer feel only cute and not threatened at all.
He could see that the fighting posture was a forced one, and he poorly hid his inner fear under that ferocious mask. Hull could see through the other's weakness at a glance.
"This..." Hull stuffed the copy of the document in his hand into the cell and threw it to Goering.
"Lord Noor Ghana wishes to purchase the original copy of this document from me."
Goering rolled over and crawled over to pick up the document, then shrank back into the corner. After reading the document clearly, his sweat burst out uncontrollably like a waterfall.
"This...this...you...you won't agree to it?! This...this will not do you any good! That guy will not let you go."
Hull smiled and said, "Of course I know, but there are certainly benefits to doing this. Lord Nur Ghana is willing to pay thirty platinum coins for the documents in my hand, but this little money alone is not enough to satisfy me."
"..."
Goering and Noor Ghana had strikingly similar expressions.
They are now all worried about their own situation.
"However, if there are no other buyers, the price of thirty platinum coins is not unacceptable. I'll take a small loss, after all, suffering a loss is a blessing."
"No! Absolutely not!... I'm dead! That bastard Nur Ghana won't let me go!"
"Hehehe... Yes, if he gets the real deal, it would be merciful of him if you could leave your body intact. However, you are the Minister of our Ministry of Government Affairs. As a subordinate of your subordinate, how can I watch you die miserably like a stray dog on the roadside? You are so smart, you should understand what I mean, right?"
Blackmail...blackmail without a doubt. Hull had put the auction items on the table openly and was inducing Goering to make a bid.
Nur Ghana was extremely anxious at the moment, but he didn't dare to speak up to stop it. If he came to make trouble, he might even lose the qualification to sit at the auction table.
"I...I'll give you forty platinum coins! How about that? Sell it to me! As long as I get out of prison, I will definitely not treat you unfairly! Okay!?"
Hull looked at Nur Ghana with a smile. He knew that the bidding had already begun.
——In the auction where their lives are at stake, Noor Ghana and Goering are standing at opposite ends of the scale.
The devilish black-haired man, like a good young man with a hearty smile, did the job of an auctioneer.
"Forty platinum coins at a time! ... Lord Noor Ghana, what do you say? Can you allow Minister Goering to buy your life, your career, your achievements, and your life with just forty platinum coins?"
"Gu... I'll give you forty-five platinum coins!!!"
Noor Ghana gritted his teeth and shouted out a new round of high prices.
But Hull just smiled and shook his head.
"That won't do. You have to increase the price by at least 15 platinum coins each time you bid."
"Then... then fifty-five platinum coins! Please... I can't afford more..."
Hull ignored him and just turned around to look at Goering who had come out from the corner.
He was now lying on the bars of the cell, his eyes bloodshot and breathing heavily.
Sure enough, this side is more sincere.
"How about it? Minister Goering, are you willing? This guy Nur Gana wants to bury you with fifty-five platinum coins, but he escapes and will rise to a higher level in the future. Can you allow this to happen?"
"Die! I want him to die! I'll give him 70 platinum coins!!!"
Hull was very satisfied with Goering's attitude. This was exactly the situation he wanted to see when he started this crazy bidding.
Unlike Noor Ghana who was only trying to protect himself, Goering, who had suffered cruel torture in prison, had been blinded by hatred. He understood that money and other things were only external things. If he could exchange it for his freedom and make Noor Ghana fall into hell completely, he would definitely give everything.
——Perhaps the latter is even more attractive to him.
At this moment, Noor Ghana had the urge to strangle Goering, but he had to suppress this feeling.
In fact, the best solution is for the two of them to raise the price to an ambiguous point. If Goering is willing to cooperate with him at this moment, the losses can be minimized.
——Of course, this option does not exist at all, he and Goering can no longer coexist.
With Helheim on the side, it was impossible for him to discuss with Goering, nor could he take any action to stop such crazy bidding.
The initiative is now entirely in the hands of Helheim.
