Chapter 344: Ruthless

Chapter 344: Ruthless

No... no more exchange?

Mephisto's expression froze slightly, as if he had not expected Lod's choice. He said dryly, "Mr. Karl, is the value of that man in your heart inferior to the mere thousands of souls in the contract?"

"Old Meph, you're joking. The true value of this contract can not be described by just a few thousand souls, right?"

Lod played with the sheepskin scroll in his hand and looked at Mephisto with a faint smile, as if he wanted to see what he was thinking from his expression.

Unfortunately, Mephisto was very cunning, and there was no flaw in his expression. He just sighed regretfully and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Carl. I also like that man's soul very much."

Was this sentence true?

Lod could not see through Mephisto's thoughts, but he vaguely felt that it was not so simple.

He deliberately let go of Carter Slade, Johnny Blaze, and even the black Demon, including deliberately giving up Haschwalth now. All of this was actually Lod testing to see what kind of reaction Mephistopheles had.

But unfortunately...

Mephisto, who was known for being treacherous and cunning, did not reveal any flaws. He even showed the idea of giving up the Contract of San Venganza.

In fact, after meeting Mephisto, he had been thinking about a question.

What did the Contract of San Venganza represent to Mephisto? It was worth spending a thousand years to slowly corrode this holy land.

Was it the soul of the three thousand Saints?

Mephisto was one of the strongest Demon Kings, and he was in charge of the huge hell alone. He was also a peak single-target Universe level. There were at least eight thousand Saint Souls in his hell, so it was not logical.

Or could it be as Carter had said, that the Contract of San Venganza could summon the Gates of Hell and bring the whole world into its territory?

If it was purely Marvel World, Lod might have believed it.

But the problem was...

After the incident with Constantine, Lod uncovered a part of the world hidden in the black fog and learned that the three people in the world, hell, and heaven had ancient contracts and constraints.

Not to mention whether the plan could be realized, even if he summoned the Gates of Hell, Mephisto might still have to be careful of the attacks from other demon kings under the combined attack of Heaven and Mountain Emperor.

Even if he was made of iron, how many nails could he take?

So obviously...

Summoning the Gates of Hell to devour human world, this plan seemed beautiful, but there was no possibility of implementation.

Such an interesting place came, not because of the Saint Soul, but also because it was impossible to devour human world. Then what was the purpose of Mephistomaking the contract?

Even if Lod did not choose to change the contents of the transaction, what he got was just a piece of parchment paper. It was useless to him, so he might as well exchange it for the man's soul. At least this way, he could save some money.

This wave, it could be said that Mephisto had calculated it!

Regardless of whether it was a transaction or not, he did not suffer any losses. He also cheated a hired thug for free and solved the black demon that ran away from home.

"No need."

The divine light in Lod's eyes faded slightly as he said indifferently, "I like people who abide by the spirit of the contract, so I will return the Black Heart Demon to you according to the contract."

Before the Black Heart Demon could react, he felt the spine behind his neck suddenly clenched tightly by the two hands.

"Stop... Stop!"

The Black Heart Demon felt a trace of fear in his heart. He seemed to understand what Lod wanted to do. He opened his mouth weakly, wanting to call for help from Mephisto beside him.

The next moment!

Lod's eyes were bloodshot, his five fingers like iron pincers stuck on the Black Heart Demon spine, suddenly pulling upwards!

Crash

In a series of sounds that made one's teeth ache and bones separate, mixed with the extremely miserable howls of the Black Heart Demon.

A complete spine, along with the head of the Black Heart Demon, was actually forcibly pulled out by Lod with brute force!

Carter and Johnny's pupils suddenly shrank, their stomachs churned in an instant, and they couldn't help but bend over and vomit, almost throwing up the dinner they had made!

Bang!

Under Mephisto's furious gaze, Lod kicked the Black Heart Demon's body.

"Lod Carl, what do you mean by this!" Rage gushed out from Mephisto's pupils, and the space around him was even shaking. A terrifying pressure spread throughout the entire space!

"Of course it's to abide by the contract."

Lod held the Black Demon's head and spine in one hand, and then smiled. "I have already returned the Black Demon to you according to the agreement. As for the rest, it will be my reward."

Gulp...

Johnny swallowed his saliva. Looking at the two people facing off, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart!

This was what it meant to be ruthless!

With a single disagreement, he gave the remains of black heart demon, only his spine was left.
