MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Vampire God
chapter-958

" Ofcourse Lord Max, let's talk about compensation…." Beniogre said as she began calculating in her head what could be a fair price to pay for the service that the vampires had provided to her people.

If it were before Rudra stealing the seed of life from her body, she would have probably done something extreme and paid them an extreme amount of gold and silver, however, she was no longer the sweet Beniogre without her seed and powers, which meant that she was a tough nut to crack.

" I'll pay you heroes 100 million gold coins per planet that you saved and pay you and additional 10,000 coins for every casuality suffered by your troops during the war against Dracula as condolences" Beniogre offered, as she did start the offer at a ridiculously low level.

" What a joke-" Max said instantly as he felt irritated by Beniogre's opening, so much so that he felt like being an asshole and not retreating from the kingdom of life planets at all.

" Very well, you start with a number then…" Beniogre said with a smile as she politely took a step back and let Max name his price.

" I want 5 of the 17 planets we liberated including the previous werewolf capital that Dracula used as his chief base of operations to be handed over to the vampire society.

Additionally, I want 5 billion gold coins/ planet that we leave as a show of goodwill and since compensating death is an idea you feel interested in, the yearly salary of an average soldier in the Bloodfall army is around 12,000 gold coins.

And I believe 5 years pay is the least you can offer to the family of the dead which is why 60,000 gold/ family sounds fair" Max said as he put forward a proposal that was sure to bankrupt the kingdom of life treasury should Beniogre accept.

" What if we don't wish to hand over any planets from our end? What if we don't wish to pay even a billion a planet in gratitude?

What happens then Lord Max?" Beniogre asked as she provocatively glared straight into Max's eyes willing to probe his bottom line.

Before Max came in, Beniogre just wanted to know one thing and one thing only from Sebastian and that was whether or not Max could take down the angels in a fight and Sebastian did not even flinch when he replied " yes-" as according to him Max could solo all three of the angel brothers without breaking a sweat.

Beniogre trusted Sebastian's instincts and if Sebastian said that Max was stronger than all three angels combined then she had no choice but to believe it and bow her head to his power, however, before she did so, she just wanted to ensure that Max had a stable head over his shoulders and would not keep exploiting her because of her subservience like Rudra did before him.

This last statement from her was the final test, the last straw over the camel's back which was going to tell her whether or not Max would resort to force to resolve a situation or whether he could let diplomacy prevail despite his own displeasure, and to her surprise, Max performed extremely well.

" Ofcourse lady Beniogre, we are not hooligans, we are not here to extort a peace price, we are here to negotiate like civil men.

If you don't feel comfortable with the conditions we can come up with other ways to cooperate" Max said as Beniogre's lips curved into an upward smile.

This statement proved that Max was not like his brother. He was calmer and not as eager to establish his dominance by silencing every other voice in the room, and Beniogre was glad for it.

" 2 billion per planet then, and yes 60,000 per soldier family sounds fair.

But as for the five planets you want, if you could tone it down to three we would be grateful" Beniogre countered as immediately the ministers of Max's end perked up.

Beniogre's current concession was already above what Max's side had hoped for and they were very happy with it.

A quick internal talk later, Max did agreeably nod to her demands with the only request for amend from his end being that the kingdom of life allow primordial vampires to populate these three planets and form a new vampire clan of their own.

Ofcourse, fighting against the native Kingdom of Life people in these planets would be prohibited, and safety measures would be taken to prevent conflicts.

Beniogre, finding these conditions acceptable agreed to them as with her agreement the issue surrounding the current vampire border was solved completely and a new harmonious border was agreed upon.

As Max departed the Kingdom of Life after a sumptuous feast was hosted in his honor, Beniogre inquired about whether or not she would see him at the upcoming council of monarchs meeting the next month to which Max replied with an affirmative ' yes'.

Ofcourse his yes currently was a double meaning which was that 'yes' he would be there as the vampire monarch, but what he actually meant was that 'yes' he would be there as the new supreme lord.

( Meanwhile Mira )

Mira had found out due to her soul-bond with Max that he had ascended to tier8 and she couldn't help but feel astonished.

Even without any obvious threats or goals to pursue, Max relentlessly kept working hard and Mira could not understand why?

He had not put off their wedding for several months and Mira felt more and more anxious as every day passed.

She wished to tie the knot with Max as soon as possible but with Max now ascending to the monarch realm she wondered whether even her mother would be able to pressure him anymore.

" Why are you always chasing after everything but me Max?" Mira wondered, as out of a spur of a moment decision she decided to head off to Dombivli and confront him and remind him that he needed to take responsibility as a man for taking away her purity.
