Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

The time goes back to a few hours ago.

In the dark dungeon, Hull stood in front of the cell and stared at Goering like a wild beast.

"It's a pity that you lost in the end."

"Why...I've already staked everything!"

"No way, this is reality..."

Goering suddenly grabbed the straw beside him and stuffed it into his ears, shaking his head like crazy and scratching his ears.

"No...no...I haven't lost yet...I'm not the one who lost...I haven't lost yet..."

After murmuring like this for a while, Goering actually began to cry bitterly.

"Why...why on earth...why did it become like this..."

"Do you...need my help?"

"Wuwu...get away! I gambled everything...and still lost in the end..."

"No, you still have one chance, the last chance!"

"I won't believe you! I know you just want to use me!"

Goering threw away the bloody straw in his hand, covered his ears like a defeated fighting dog, and retreated to a corner, whimpering.

Hull sighed and threw a magic contract across the cell.

"If you want to be saved, put your handprint on this magic contract."

"..."

Goering closed his eyes and covered his ears with his hands.

Logically, he shouldn't be able to hear any sound.

But for some reason, Hull's voice seemed to have a kind of magic, and these words appeared directly in Goering's mind.

Like the devil's whisper.

"Don't you want revenge?"

"...!"

"After this incident, you will have no chance at all. Noor Ghana will treat you as a toy that he can manipulate at will. Given his personality, every day and every minute of your future will be extremely miserable."

"It's so noisy! Of course I know! That's why I risked everything! But... but there's nothing I can do now..."

Heer opened his mouth and smiled: "How can there be no way... As long as you do as I say, I can not only protect you from harm, but also help you regain your dignity, status and property-"

"So, what's the price..."

Hull did not answer him directly. He just raised his chin towards the magic contract on the ground, motioning Goring to look at it himself.

"I'm not a philanthropist. I can lend you a helping hand, but in return, I have also made some requirements in this contract. However, compared to being tortured to death, this is your only chance."

"What else do you want from me?"

Hale held up a finger: "It's simple - I want you to be my puppet, or to put it bluntly - my slave."

"..." Goering swallowed his saliva.

"From now on, until the day you die, you must always obey my orders. I will not allow you to disobey me. In this way, I can not only let you regain your freedom, but even... Minister Goering, I can let you sit on the throne of the acting consul..."

"Deputy Archon...?!"

The generals of the empire are all power-hungry collections, and no one of them can refuse to obtain a higher status and greater power.

"Now, the choice of life or death is given to you. If you are not willing, the magic contract will not take effect. You can do whatever you want. Even if you don't cooperate, I have a backup plan. For me, it's just a little more troublesome."

"But...Nur Gana's only flaw - wasn't the document handed over to him? Could it be that...the magic contract you signed with him before was fake?"

"A magic contract cannot be forged, otherwise I would not be able to get his property... I did give him the document you mentioned, but if I can give it to him, I can naturally take it back."

There was a burning fire in Hull's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up like a poisonous snake seeing its prey.

"That guy would have destroyed the evidence as soon as he got the documents. How could you possibly get them back?"

Hull just smiled and shook his finger, making a tut-tut-tut sound: "You think too highly of him. I don't think he will destroy the document immediately."

"How is this possible? He has spent all his wealth and even incurred a debt that he cannot repay in his lifetime. If he does not destroy the document that he finally got back immediately, wouldn't it just plant disaster for him?"

"If we continue to provoke him, he will indeed destroy the evidence immediately... But on the other hand, that is the spoils that Noor Gana has obtained with great difficulty. If you got the evidence, would you be willing to burn it like this? Wouldn't you want to show off to him when he is crying in despair?"

Silence fell at this moment, and Hull understood that Goering's silence meant affirmation.

The so-called revenge is so sweet. No matter ordinary people or those in power, as long as they are human, it is difficult to get rid of this pure desire.

"...He shouldn't be so easily controlled by desire."

"If it were normal, he might indeed be more rational. In essence, he is a coward who is extremely afraid of risks and will do his best to avoid being involved in the storm. This kind of person is best at suppressing his own desires with rational thinking. However, on the other hand, fear of risks also means that he is more inexperienced than normal people in dealing with risks when they come, and his psychological defenses are more fragile."

"..."

This time, Hull pushed Noor Ghana into a desperate situation.

The pressure on him both physically and mentally almost broke him.

The more people grit their teeth and persevere under such pressure, the more likely they are to expose their own shortcomings and the more likely their brains will short-circuit.

It can be said that Hull used Goering to participate in the auction and brought the pressure on Noor Ghana to the peak during the repeated bargaining.

"Think about it. After the transport team was wiped out, East Territory has been in a dangerous vortex. The first one to bear the greatest pressure was Nur Gana."

"How long can he stay calm in this situation? He didn't even dare to sleep much these past few days. He has been under extremely high pressure. The pressure reached its peak when he was competing fiercely with you. After winning the auction, he finally felt calm and peaceful. The tension in his heart also relaxed at that moment. He must have thought that he was completely safe now. How could he possibly think of destroying the evidence?"

He smiled awkwardly, "As a reward for his revenge against you, he wishes he could treat that policy document as a family heirloom and pass it down from generation to generation."

"...No, he shouldn't make that kind of mistake..."

"Hehehe...it seems you don't know him well enough. If he is really as you think and knows how to avoid risks, how could he be forced by me to bet his entire fortune and even go into debt?"

"He is... just a self-righteous coward..."

“…”

Heer's smile broadened, and he stretched out his right hand like a devil tempting an ignorant girl.

"If Noor Ghana is such a cautious person, such a risk-averse person, and he makes a stupid mistake in a big battle where his life is at stake, and ends up getting caught up in the storm and getting smashed to pieces, he will probably spend the rest of his life in regret, right?"

"——Is there any better way to take revenge than this?"

Nur Gana exposed his stupid and incompetent nature in front of all his subordinates and Major General Masayin. He will never be able to turn things around in his life. That moment will become his eternal demon.

"Hehehehe..."

The scene appeared in Goering's mind and he couldn't help but smile.

Hull also laughed in his heart.

It’s the same, humans can never resist the pleasure of revenge.

This was the script Hull sketched out for Goering.

"You should have figured it out, right? If it were me, I would choose to use this most humiliating method, a method more unacceptable than death, to send Noor Gana completely to hell, making him live in this humiliating moment for the rest of his life - eternal damnation."

"...But how do you explain this to Major General Masayin? The internal conflicts in East Territory are totally irrelevant to Major General Masayin, right? Why should he help us?"

The light returned to Goering's eyes.

However, it was not a light that represented hope, but a dark, gloomy, and piercing light that dragged the enemy into hell.

"Leave the details to me. I have prepared a gift in advance. Major General Masayin will definitely not refuse it."

"Right or wrong, good or evil, none of this matters..."

"The important thing is - who is more suitable to dominate the East Territory, and who is more suitable to transport supplies for Major General Masayin in the rear..."

In an instant, their eyes crossed and Goering showed a twisted smile on his face.

"Your proposal is very tempting... You are indeed a devil... But... So what!? I promise you! Even if I have to become a devil's slave, even if I have to sell my soul, I will take revenge on that guy! Revenge——! Revenge——!"

"Hahaha... Very good. Then you must play the role of a senior governor's agent. Even though you have sold everything to me, in the eyes of the outside world, you will still be the highest commander of the entire East Territory, with infinite glory behind you..."

Goering bit his finger and pressed his handprint heavily on the magic contract...

"I am willing to serve you...my master..."
