Chapter 48 - Negotiations

Jin looked at the five people approximately fifteen meters away from him. He know the five of them and they belong to the dark guild, Grimoore Heart, one of the corner stone of Baram Alliance, with the guild master himself in presence.

The five people were the Bluenote Stinger, Azuma, Capricorn(Zoldeo), Zancrow, and the guild master himself Hades.

Bluenote is a tall, muscular, middle aged man with a long black hair that tied to the back of his head.

Azuma is a tall man with tanned skin and think brown hair. He has a brown eyes with long side burns on his left eye.

Capricorn is tall humanoid goat with short white fur all over his body. He wears a glasses on his eyes and a black goatee.

Zancrow has a long and spiky blond hair that reaches down to his lower back. His red pupils consist of several constricted circles.

Jin felt that Zancrow was weak right now but his magic power was stronger than Jellal right now. Well, he's still a child right now and he's not as strong as in the anime.

Hades is a tall, elderly man with a long, slicked back white hair. He also has a mustache and a long white semi curly beard.

Jin felt a tremendous amount of magic power inside Hades. The power was even stronger than Ur possesses.

'If a fight broke out then we will surely lose this time. I could hold Hades but who would hold the other four. Ur? No, atleast she could fight two or three of them but Jellal wasn't even a match for one of them.' Jin thought. 'I'm too naive to think that we could fight the council with our strength. Not all saints was a member of council but still they could ask them for help. Now I've met a strong people in face I know now the rankings of our power in this world.'

"I presume it's the Thousand Abyss, right?" Hades said while looking at him.

"Grimoire Heart?" Jin said.

"Yes. That's right. We are Grimoire Heart one of the three powers of Baram Alliance." Hades said to him.

"What do you want with us?" Jin asked as he frown.

"Nothing much. We just want to talk to you about us Dark Guilds." Hades said.

"Okay" Jin nodded his head.

"Jin" Ur called him in a low voice.

Jin glance at her and said, "Don't worry Ur. If we want to escape they wouldn't be able to stop us."

He then looked at Hades and said, "Where do you want to talk?"

Hades didn't answer his question. He just turned around and said, "Follow me."

Jin, Ur, and Jellal followed Hades into their base of operation, the Grimoire Heart Airship.

Jin and the rest sat down in front of the round table.

Jin didn't say anything. He just looked at Hades. Hades also didn't say anything. The whole room was silent as no one dared to make a single sound.

"You put some of our dark guild under your banner right?" After a long while Hades finally opened his mouth.

"That's right." Jin nodded.

"Why did you do that?" Hades asked.

"Nothing much. I just want more people incase I went all out against some powerful organization." Jin replied.

He said in a tired voice, "Say it! What do you want?"

Hades looked at him for a while before he replied, "We want you to sign a non-aggression pact at us. We, no the Baram Alliance already considered your group a threat to us. Not only you attack the council you also attack the dark guilds."

"If I don't?" Jin said.

Hades said to him sternly, "The Baram Alliance will took an action to eliminate your group but if you sign the non-aggression pact. We let you do what you want. Of course we will not took back the dark guilds you put under your name even some of them are our subordinate..." Hades pause before he continue, "Your group is powerful to stand beside us. So your group, the Thousand Abyss, will also become the corner stone of Baram alliance."

"What are your goals?" Jin asked him.

"Me? We just want to resurrect Zeref out of his slumbering state. We are going to create a world of wizards where the ordinary folks wouldn't be able to live in that world. Zeref will rule that world." Hades then looked at Jin and asked, "How about you? What are your goals?"

"Well, I'm sure you already guess it from our actions so why bother to ask." Jin said as he shrugged his shoulder.

"Hahaha! You are right but still I want to hear it from you" Hades said.

"We want the destruction of the magic council" Jin said. He already prepared this answer ever since he planned to create a guild incase the dark guild contact him.

"So do you want to sign a non-aggression pact?" Hades said.

"Okay, how about give me some of your knowledge about lost magic to see your sincerity" Jin said. 'For now I will not target any of the dark guild but in the future. I'm sure I will receive a lot of points if I kill all of you.' he thought.

If a fight broke out he need to destroy the Devil's heart inside this airship but who could do that. This ship are full of Grimoire Heart members it's almost impossible to do that with his current strenght. But if he advance to heavenly fate realm then he wasn't sure anymore about that.

"Okay. But you have to show me your face." Hades replied. Although he could use force to do this he still didn't want do cause he don't want another enemies. In the first of all making an enemy to this group is not their goals.

"Sure" Jin nodded. In the first time he was glad that he asked Makarov to altered the memories of fairy tail member. If not Hades would be able to trace him back to Fairy Tail. If that happened, his group would be attack by a group of dark guilds including those powerful ones. Just an interrogation of one of the members of fairy tail could give up his identity.

'Don't worry Hades or should I say Pretch, I will come back to you when I have enough strength and destroy your whole guild. I will also use the devil's heart you have for experiments.' Jin thought in his mind.
