Chapter 481 Discussion With Mo (1/2)

Beast Kingdom.

Ralph and Dennis were sitting in an open cafe, waiting for Lith to arrive.

Ralph was having a chocolate shake while Dennis had a hot chocolate lying in front of him that he didn't even bother to drink and played a game on his phone.

Ralph sipped on his sweet drink and was solving some problems on a pen and paper in front of him.

Dennis had an intense battle royale going on in his phone and the gunshot noises in it were bothering Ralph.

"Lower the volume. And why are you playing games? Are you a kid or something?" Ralph couldn't help but say after a while.

Dennis, without looking up, said, "why are you solving problems? Are you back in the academy or something?"

Ralph knitted his brows. What kind of a weird comparison was this? 

"At least I am doing something useful." Ralph didn't back down.

"I am doing something useful as well. I am training my reflexes." 

"..."

Ralph was about to answer that this was not how it worked, but before he could do it…

"Sup boys." 

A familiar voice rang in his ears and turning his head towards the source, Ralph saw the tall Lith walking towards them wearing black sunglasses, formal black shirt tucked into gray pants, and waving at the two with a smile on his face.

Dennis, looking at Lith arrive, said with a smile, "Your Highness, you're here early."

Lith chuckled and as he neared their table, sat on a chair and replied, 

"I know. Ain't I punctual?" 

"Yes. Very. You're a good role model for all vampires out there." Dennis said and laughed.

However, soon he heard some gunshot noises and in the next instant…

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Better luck next time!" 

Looking down at this phone, Dennis cursed, "shit. I got distracted for a second and some noob killed me."

His expression then saddened and he said, "there goes my K/D…"

Ignoring Dennis's sadness, Lith looked at Ralph and noticing him solving problems, he asked,

"Still doing logical reasoning?" 

Ralph nodded. "I needed something to pass time. Talking to that guy would just kill my what little remaining brain cells."

Lith chuckled as he heard that. He then had a small talk with both of them and finally, coming to the topic, he asked,

"Where's the beastkins? What problem do they have? Have you got any idea?" 

Ralph and Dennis nodded. 

Dennis said, "they gave us their contact number. All we have to do is call them and they'll be here within an hour. Let me just give a call."

"Alright."

Ralph then said, "as for the problem, we have no idea yet. They said they'll explain it once we're all here."

"Oh? They met with you before?" Lith asked.

Ralph nodded. He then explained how the beastkins didn't say the reasons and asked the two to wait until their third companion arrived.

Lith nodded in understanding and the three talked and waited for the beastkins to arrive.

An hour later.

Three people arrived. One was Mo, the tigerman Saint Rank and there were two more Saints along with him.

The three people joined the trio and sat along with them on the same round table.

At one side of the table there were the beastkins and at the other side, there was Lith.

Mo and Lith faced each other and their companions were sitting beside them.

Having settled down, finally said, "I thank you all gentlemen to take your time out and help us with this problem."

The three nodded.

Mo continued, "let's not waste any more time and I'll get straight into it."

Lith, Ralph, and Dennis looked at Mo with curious gazes.

"The gist of the matter is that the beastkins have a border issue with the Orcs and the Goblins who we share the borders with. The elves aren't going to help us and we have to settle this on our own."

"From what we know so far, even if we wipe out the entire orc and the goblin race, the elves probably wouldn't care. For the first time in many years has such a thing happened. Previously, the elves would intervene and stop wars if things were too much and thus, all three of us, that is the beastkins, goblins, and orcs stayed confined to our borders."

"However, now that the elves don't dwell much into our issue, the orcs and goblins have a free reign and are doing as they please on the international borders. Many of our villages and towns were destroyed due to them."

"Ever since the beastkins got settled here in the Elven Continent, we haven't ever invaded any other race. But we constantly get invaded by others and now, it's time for us to fight back and not stay passive."

Mo continued to explain and talk and it went on for a good fifteen minutes.

Lith or any other on the table didn't interrupt him and let him speak.

As he had said, the gist of the matter was problems related to border. 

Mo talked about the various things happening such as who invaded what place and the strength of the armies of the three races and whatever more intel he knew of.

Lith took a mental note of it and so did Ralph. As for Dennis, this was too much information he listened from one ear but it vanished from the other and didn't bother much with it.

There was his prince with him on the same table and also the sugar freak Ralph. Dennis had no stress at all about remembering things and just quietly listened.

Mo also talked about the various things they could do to stop them and finally when he stopped, Lith asked the main question,

"Everything I heard is okay. But what benefits do we get for helping you with such a complicated situation? If the reward isn't justifiable with the work, I don't think we'll bother with you and simply leave."
