Yes, hiring a red dragon for just one gold coin was indeed a very cost-effective deal.

However, Otto loved to say no to some self-righteous people or dragons.

With a faint smile, Otto in his Silver Dragon-man appearance said coldly just when the Red Lotus Flame thought the deal was sealed: “Sounds good, but I refuse!”

“What?”

Red Lotus Flame looked at Otto in disbelief, and the latter raised a finger towards her, as if there was more to say.

“About that, I might have a better proposal!”

When Red Lotus Flame looked confused, Otto quickly added, “Just one gold coin, still only one gold coin! But as for who should pay it, we need to renegotiate!”

“What do you mean?”

Red Lotus Flame tilted her head, obviously unable to understand Otto’s train of thought.

Not letting her hang for long, Otto quickly continued, “I’m willing to hire you, but as payment, you have to give me an Imperial Gold Moon coin every day!”

“What?”

Red Lotus Flame stared at Otto in disbelief, her eyes full of astonishment and incredulity.

At this moment, she really doubted if there was something wrong with her ears.

Since it felt very wrong no matter how she listened to it

She was supposed to work for others, right?

But why do she have to pay others instead? This clearly doesn’t conform to the normal dragon’s way of thinking!

Moreover, even though a single Imperial Gold Moon coin wasn’t a big deal for her treasure vault, she, with her greedy and selfish red dragon nature, couldn’t bear to give even a single copper coin when offering to Tiamat.

Most dragons have similar thoughts, and their obsession with gold and silver treasures has long reached a pathological level.

Of course, some Metal Dragons might not be as extreme, and oddballs like Welin do exist.

However, on this matter, Red Lotus Flame was a rather normal red dragon.

At the same time, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, unable to help but roar angrily at Otto: “What about the law? What about the king’s law? I’m the worker, so why should I give you gold coins instead?

Are you the slave owner and I’m the slave? This is undoubtedly one-sided exploitation!”

In contrast to Red Lotus Flame’s questioning, Otto looked unconcerned, seemingly not under any psychological pressure.

It was really a fuss over nothing. It’s perfectly normal for the strong to exploit the weak, and this is your blessing!

Although he thought so, he still needed to sugarcoat his words a little.

“Ahem!”

After a moment, Otto blinked and continued, “It seems that you are not very satisfied with my proposal   ”

No shit!

Red Lotus Flame gave Otto a cold glance, not explicitly saying anything, but the meaning couldn’t be more obvious.

“Unfortunately, I’m not very satisfied with your proposal either!”

At this point, with Red Lotus Flame’s anxious expression, Otto continued, “So, I decided to meet halfway between both of our proposals!”

“What do you mean?”

Red Lotus Flame became interested, and to be honest, she didn’t want to have any conflict with Otto.

Although he didn’t look very strong in his Silver Dragon-man form, she had witnessed firsthand how fierce and majestic the 30-meter-long black dragon was.

She didn’t want to confront such a monster unless absolutely necessary.

Normally, an existence like Otto or the Gold Moon who has reached the level of a black dragon can walk quite freely on the Prime Material Plane, as long as they don’t mess around too much.

Even ordinary deities couldn’t do anything about them.

Of course, if a deity was determined to make trouble, it wouldn’t be impossible.

But the various deities were not monolithic, and even deadly enemies were not few.

Should they dare to waste too much energy, divine power, or even godhead on the Prime Material Plane, many other warm and considerate deities would personally visit their Divine Kingdom.

Overall, if she offended such a big shot, she would have to live her life cautiously, walking on eggshells as a dragon.

Obviously, Red Lotus Flame knew this very well, and as she looked at Otto with anticipation, he finally spoke again.

“You have to give me one gold coin every day, no less!”

Isn’t there any difference?

Just as Red Lotus Flame was about to rage in protest, Otto waved at her, indicating that he wasn’t done talking.

Then, Otto continued, “But as long as you work hard and diligently, I can temporarily waive the daily gold coin payment, just consider it credit!

And as for the time limit for this debt, I won’t set any restrictions!”

Oh? Isn’t this essentially a free ride?

Hearing this, Red Lotus Flame’s eyes instantly gleamed with excitement.

She was quite enthusiastic about taking advantage of small deals.

Soon after, Otto added, “Of course, although it’s on credit, the money must still be paid back eventually. So when will I come to collect this debt from you?”

Under Red Lotus Flame’s concerned gaze, Otto said calmly, “When you want to leave me and regain your freedom.

At that time, you will have two choices: either give me the gold coins for each day you worked for me or forfeit your life!”

As Otto spoke these words, he looked coldly at Red Lotus Flame.

Even though he appeared not to be very powerful, he still gave Red Lotus Flame a deep sense of pressure.

With the red dragons’ greed at its utmost, trying to get them to pay up was even more difficult than chopping them up.

So in a sense, Otto was prepared to have Red Lotus Flame work for him for a lifetime without pay.

Or there was another choice—take Otto down

Obviously, Red Lotus Flame had no such strength, and she didn’t even dare to think about it.

Actually, these terms were quite harsh, but as long as it wouldn’t make her part with those lovely shining gold coins, Red Lotus Flame seemed to find it acceptable.

So, that’s how this verbal agreement was set.

Soon after, Red Lotus Flame received her first work request from Otto.

She had to learn a strange spell from the Half-Elf girl in a very short time, a spell that seemed to have no direct benefit to her.

The spell’s function was to share her own absorbed energy with another designated creature through food or other means.
