You know, if Blaine had not had the rejuvenation potion just now, he would have almost died at this guy’s hands. This bloody feud could not be written off with a single sentence.
Although Blaine was not a vicious person, he could not be called a living Bodhisattva who saved the world and its people either.
Blaine had always been someone who meant what he said and had a character that repaid revenge with revenge. Since he now held Dormammu’s weakness in his hands, he was destined not to let it go so easily.
"Don’t you just want me to apologize?"
"I apologize, I apologize."
"Sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry."
"I swear, I swear I will never invade Earth again."
"When we meet again in the future, I will go around you."
"Okay?"
"Let me out quickly."
At this moment, Dormammu was crying out like a child who had done something wrong and was being scolded by an adult, looking extremely wronged.
However, the more this happened, the more worried Blaine became. Do not look at Dormammu, who now seemed very well-behaved. When they had been fighting just now, it had been extremely sinister. Even though Dormammu had admitted defeat and apologized, Blaine was still a little worried. Although his current goal was to complete the task, Blaine also had to consider the consequences after completing it. He could not let Dormammu, this frenzied guy, bite him back after being released.
"Well said."
"But..."
"How do you expect me to trust you?"
"You almost killed me just now."
"Based on just a few words from you..."
"I’m not going to let you out just like that."
"Dormammu."
"Be realistic."
In fact, Blaine felt that he had already pushed Dormammu into a corner and had probably reached Dormammu’s psychological defense line. If he continued pressing step by step, he feared things would really get out of control.
However, Blaine was not the kind of person who feared whatever he thought about, but the kind who feared only what he wanted to do. Since Blaine dared to speak out, he was not afraid that he would be unable to control Dormammu.
If it had been just now, if Dormammu had submitted and apologized, as long as it did not invade Earth, Blaine really would have been able to release it. However, the injuries he had suffered could not have been in vain. A bottle of rejuvenation potion had been wasted. That was worth sixty to seventy billion, and on top of that, he had wasted such a long time on Stephen Strange. Even without credit, there was still hard work. Now, without asking for some interest, to be honest, Blaine was not reconciled no matter what.
Besides, the Ancient One had probably hired Blaine after calculating the timing. She had tossed him a Level Five Star Core, and Blaine had happily accepted it at the time. Now that he thought about it, this deal, damn it, was not worth it. The wasted time, energy, and money were not worth just a Level Five Star Core.
Now, the old fox Ancient One was gone, and if Blaine wanted to stop his losses in time, it seemed that he could only think of a way through Dormammu. Even if the scene got out of control for a while, Blaine had to squeeze some oil out of it.
"What do you want me to do to make you believe me?"
"Hmm?"
"Uh..."
"This..."
"That’s a good question."
"Let me think about it."
Dormammu took Blaine’s question and asked one in return, which made Blaine feel a little surprised. It could even be said that he was a bit confused.
To be fair, that was not how things were played when threatening others on TV. Shouldn’t it be:
"Why should I trust you?"
"Oh, please, please don’t kill me."
"I’ll be good again."
"Or I’ll offer treasure."
"I’ll give you my wealth and my rights."
"As long as you don’t kill me."
According to what Blaine knew from American TV series, under normal circumstances, the villain would say such things when pressed and questioned. How had it come to Dormammu? In the real situation, it was Blaine’s turn to be troubled.
"How can I believe that?"
"Damn meow, how would I know if you have anything that can make me believe you?"
"Hey, why don’t I just forget it?"
"Look at how poor it is."
"I guess you can’t take out anything good, right?"
"No, no. Damn it, it almost killed me, and this account still hasn’t been settled."
"If I just let it go so easily..."
"Wouldn’t that make me seem too shameless?"
"But what should I do?"
Blaine temporarily turned off the sound of the "big screen" with one hand. With his other hand resting on his chin, he thought about countermeasures while talking to himself. Now, Blaine’s heart was extremely conflicted. On one hand, he was unwilling to let Dormammu go just like this, but on the other hand, there was no other good way. For a moment, it really made Blaine scratch his head.
"Hmm?"
"By the way, it’s fine. I can just ask the system."
"System, come out."
"It’s your turn to perform."
Thinking about it, Blaine suddenly remembered, almost unconsciously, that he still had the Hunter system. The super artificial intelligence of the Hunter System Version 2.0 could still come in handy at critical moments.
"I almost died just now and you didn’t come out."
"Now you have to give me a good idea."
However, even after summoning the system, Blaine was still a little unwilling, especially since the system had refused to save him just now. That had made him feel a little lonely. However, since it was all over, let the page turn. Blaine could not always hold on to it, could he? Besides, no matter how intelligent the Hunter system was, it was still just a cold set of numbers, and some things could not be blamed on it.
"Host, I am here."
As soon as Blaine finished speaking, he heard a beep, and the property panel appeared before his eyes, along with the voice of the system that had been optimized after the upgrade.
"That..."
"You should know what’s going on right now?"
"I know."
"Is the host going to ask me for a solution?"
"Mhm, not bad."
"Smart."
"Tell me, is there any good way?"
"Or..."
"Does Dormammu, this guy, have any good stuff?"
"Then let him hand it over to me willingly."
"Querying for host..."
...
"Two best solutions have been found for the host."
"Oh?"
"Two, Doctor?"
"Tell me?"
"Huh? No, will I be charged again?"
Blaine was a little excited when he heard that the system had two more answers for him to choose from, but then he thought about it. With the system’s nature, if it did not take the opportunity to trick him, Blaine would feel uncomfortable all over.
"Yes."
"Option One, price: one billion dollars."
"Option Two, price: one billion dollars."
...
"Oh, the price is the same."
"Is the sun rising from the west?"
