Although Rogge wasn't entirely sure what the Hand would do, he had already made a decision.
That was to add some extra difficulty to the Hand's already not-so-smooth situation.
Extorting the Hand was nothing compared to openly robbing the Hand.
As for the Hand's goodwill, he didn't care about it at all.
He vaguely remembered that the dragon bones hidden beneath New York seemed to be the remains of an entire dragon.
If this was true, it meant that the number of dragon bones excavated this time would reach an extremely terrifying level.
Even if he now developed corresponding anti-dragon bone properties every time he used dragon bones, causing the dragon bones' ability to increase chakra to become lower and lower.
But as long as the dragon bones' effect on increasing chakra didn't completely disappear, he wouldn't give up his need for dragon bones.
It didn't matter if the increase was low, even if it was only 0.01.
If the efficiency was not good, then he would make up for it with quantity.
The next morning, while Rogge was still in his sleep, Sowande brought three boxes of dragon bones to the office.
It wasn't until after noon that Rogge returned to the office and saw Sowande, who had been waiting at the office all morning.
Although Sowande hadn't said anything yet, just looking at the three suitcases next to him, which were exactly the same as last time, one could guess the purpose of his visit.
"Let's talk inside!"
In any case, Sowande was still his previous client, so Rogge didn't directly drive him away, but instead let him into his office.
"Mr. Rogge, we were very satisfied with the last commission, so we would like to commission you again. These three boxes of dragon bones are the deposit for this commission."
The Hand didn't have many dragon bones left. These three boxes of dragon bones could be considered a very large sincerity for them.
"You're being so generous this time, the commission must not be simple. Tell me, what do you want to commission this time?"
After reading those reports from the Golden Institute, Rogge knew very well what kind of situation the Hand was facing, so he wasn't surprised by the Hand's heavy reliance on outside help.
"Now that we're all so familiar, I'll be frank. The reason why dragon bones are called dragon bones is because they are the bones of a dragon."
"According to our investigation, buried beneath New York is the skeleton of an entire dragon."
"We want to excavate this dragon's skeleton, but during the excavation process, it may attract the attention of certain forces, so we hope that Mr. Rogge can help block one of those forces."
"If you are willing to accept this commission, we are willing to give one-third of the dragon bones as a reward."
Giving one-third of the entire dragon's dragon bones as a reward was not a decision made by the five fingers of the Hand, but Sowande's personal decision.
But as long as Rogge agreed to accept the commission, he was confident that he could persuade the other four.
Even if there were more dragon bones underground, they had to be successfully excavated.
"One-third of the entire dragon's dragon bones, you are really not generally generous. But I'm sorry, I can't accept this kind of reward with risk."
This reward was indeed tempting, but Rogge didn't think the Hand had the ability to pay this reward.
Because he was very sure that the Hand would not be able to obtain the dragon's skeleton this time.
Even if the Hand successfully opened the seal, they would not be able to take the dragon bones away smoothly.
"I know that this reward does have uncertainty, but as long as you are willing to help, the chances of success are still very high!"
Sowande tried to persuade Rogge, but he never thought that Rogge, who was sitting in front of him, was the one who planned to steal the dragon bones.
"I'm sorry, I still can't accept your commission! Unless you can now take out the equivalent of that one-third of the dragon bones!"
Although Rogge didn't know how many dragon bones the Hand still had, he was sure that the Hand didn't have many dragon bones at all.
If they still had so many dragon bones, they wouldn't need to have designs on the dragon bones underground at this time.
"Since that's the case, then I can only say that this is a pity!"
After saying that, Sowande stood up and prepared to leave the office with the three boxes of dragon bones.
"Wait a minute!"
Sowande, who was about to pick up the three boxes of dragon bones, was immediately overjoyed when he heard Rogge speak, thinking that Rogge had changed his mind.
But then, he heard something he couldn't believe.
"You can leave, but you must leave these three boxes of dragon bones behind!"
After hearing Rogge's words, Sowande was stunned.
What the heck is this development?
Before he could figure out what was going on, Rogge spoke again: "Consultation fee, three boxes of dragon bones!"
Although it was no different from blatant robbery, there still had to be an excuse.
"Are you planning to rob me openly?"
Sowande's expression became extremely serious. As an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years, how could he not understand Rogge's true intentions?
"That's right, I'm planning to rob you openly, what, do you have any objections!"
Anyway, he was about to have a falling out with the Hand, so Rogge didn't mind bringing this time forward a little bit.
"Okay, very good! The Hand has remembered this debt!"
Looking at Rogge's casual appearance, Sowande quickly made a decision, immediately gave up the three boxes of dragon bones, and then left without looking back.
Rogge was not surprised by Sowande's decisiveness.
In this completely disadvantageous situation, even if Sowande was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
Resistance in words or actions would not cause any change to the result.
Since that was the case, it was better to give up immediately.
This behavior may seem cowardly, but it was currently the most reasonable and least damaging method.
If he didn't do this, maybe what was left behind would not only be three boxes of dragon bones.
After Sowande left, Rogge returned home with the three boxes of dragon bones, and then threw these three boxes of dragon bones, as well as the dragon bones he brought back from the research institute last night, into the Biological Tissue Energy Purification and Separation Instrument No. 2 made by Orochimaru.
After drinking all of the purified green liquid, his chakra increased once again.
Chakra: 12.
Nearly four suitcases worth of dragon bones only increased his chakra by 2, and the efficiency of dragon bones in increasing chakra was further reduced.
However, Rogge didn't take this to heart. If he estimated correctly, the batch of dragon bones under New York could at least fill thousands of the same suitcases.
After Rogge overbearingly robbed him of three boxes of dragon bones, Sowande did not hesitate to return directly to the secret base where they had met last night and informed the other four of the news.
