Chapter 365 -356 Negotiation and Trade (Long Chapter)_2

However,

Chen Haiping met separately with representatives of the five factions, and he betrayed his teammates thoroughly.

Tang Yu was amused and frustrated.

Probably… they didn’t realize they were also being sold out, huh?

And the last three families, still honestly gathering intelligence, faces showing ‘I know nothing,’ until they were very “luckily” overheard some ‘inadvertent’ news.

…

“What! The Wu Family has sold us out, and now our every move is under Green Shadow’s control? They’ve even made a million-deal with Green Shadow? This is outrageous!”

“We agreed to force Green Shadow to hand over the rune technology, the Secret Realm, damn it, those guys instead betrayed the revolution, we cannot just let it be!”

“Ancestor Dragon’s Vanguard Camp’s lead, Blade… our family cannot provoke you, but even if we ally with other families, we won’t let you monopolize!”

Their initial purpose for coming to Green Shadow? They had long ago forgotten it.

After all, they were told to adapt to changes and seize the opportunity as it arises.

…

The Awakeners sent to gather intelligence were no fools; their intelligence was at least above average.

They didn’t lose their heads but continued to investigate and soon discovered… these ‘inadvertent’ pieces of information were deliberately shared by Green Shadow.

Not one family alone; each power was treated the same.

However, upon discovering the truth, they couldn’t possibly unite; they all harbored hostility towards each other.

The betrayal was real.

The million-dollar deal was also real!

And the one truly capable of securing the deal, benefiting their own faction, might be just one among them.

The rest were competitors.

Green Shadow wasn’t a child holding gold bricks, but a strong man wielding a sharp weapon. With the eight houses disunited, there was no talking of forcing anything; they worried that while they ostensibly united to coerce, someone could instantly betray them for the million-deal.

The Li Family, who first proposed the idea, was nowhere to be seen.

The next morning, even before the castle gates opened, representatives of the eight factions were already waiting outside.

…

One by one, the factions entered the gate to negotiate, but soon, people came out with grim faces.

Demand exceeding supply, several factions couldn’t just watch Green Shadow mark up prices, yet they hoped to win the competition and take the lion’s share.

Eventually,

the various forces of Jing City decided to unite.

“Sixty percent, we, the many families of Jing City, take sixty percent of the profits; your Green Shadow taking forty percent is already high!”

The opposition was fierce.

Chen Haiping remained calm and unconcerned, “Just now, Wu Family proposed a split of forty-sixty, Green Shadow sixty, Wu Family forty, with Wu Family fully representing Jing City sales…”

Suddenly,

the Awakeners from several factions focused their attention on the Wu Family members.

Wu Mian could only offer an awkward but polite smile.

Blade turned to look at Chen Haiping, his intense aura like crashing waves, and he slowly said, “Then tell us, how it should be divided.”

“Eighty-two, Green Shadow eighty, you Jing City, twenty.”

The conference room door was pushed open, Tang Yu walked in, ignoring the heavy atmosphere, lazily seated himself at the head of the table, glancing around, and began to speak.

Following him, Nancy and Yan Dingtian stood behind, one on each side. freēwēbnovel.com

Blade suddenly stood up, the other Jing City Awakeners also looked unhappy.

“Impossible!”

“Without our agreement, no matter how good your rune equipment is, it will not enter Jing City markets. Additionally, there are safety issues with the equipment store, and the transportation from Green Shadow to Lindong requires a lot of manpower and resources. We demand at least fifty percent!”

Tang Yu looked amusedly over the Jing City Awakeners, then slowly extended one finger:

“First, you need to understand, our rune equipment can be sold to Jing City, but it can also be sold to Mountain City, Lake City, Lan City, and others, Jing City is not your only option. And you, can only choose to accept our offer, or leave.”

Another finger was slowly raised, “As for transportation, we at Green Shadow plan to handle it ourselves… One last thing, the Awakeners stationed at various equipment stores, you wouldn’t think that Green Shadow can’t pull it off, right?”

He paused:

“Of course, you might still lack some direct understanding of us at Green Shadow…”

Saying this, Tang Yu gave Yan Dingtian a meaningful look.

Great Sacrificial Officer Yan got the hint, stepped forward, and chuckled, “You people from Jing City really think you are the strongest Sanctuary in Tiannan? Do you really think you have the qualifications to negotiate terms with us at Green Shadow? Selling you rune equipment is charity, understand?”

Blade could no longer contain his anger, his body shimmering with a metallic luster.

A flowing light revolved in Wu Mian’s eyes.

However, the next moment,

An indescribable aura burst forth from Yan Dingtian.

“Your Jing City Sanctuary can’t even fend off a mutated eagle. You know, for those golden mutated eagles, I alone can take down… one and a half of them by myself! Think about it yourselves, if it were me, I wouldn’t give you even ten percent of the profits.”

After flexing his muscles appropriately, the suffocating aura quickly dissipated.

Blade, sweating profusely, opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

They had lost their confidence in negotiations. As the captain of Zhengfeng Camp, who knew some secrets, Blade had a vague idea of what that overwhelming aura could represent.

“You… must be the strongest among Green Shadow,” he said, now using honorifics unintentionally.

Yan Dingtian laughed heartily, “Of course that’s… ahem, not it, but I am definitely among the top within Green Shadow, ranking second… third, uh, maybe the fourth…”

His rank in the Trial Tower had risen to fourth, but he couldn’t advance further.

Finally settled for an eighty-twenty split.

The production and transportation of equipment would be handled by Green Shadow, while sales would be fully managed by Jing City, with Green Shadow only sending a few people to supervise.

Green Shadow would have meat, and Jing City would also get to drink some soup.

Different powers’ sales territories and profit distributions would be resolved by them themselves.

Tang Yu merely mentioned in passing that he didn’t get along well with the Li family… The Li family wouldn’t be destroyed over a mere sentence, but commanding just a Jing City force through his followers, his own Awakeners, was already sufficient.

There were also other Jing City powers that might be ready to kick them while they were down.

He just needed to quietly wait for news within his territory.

During this time, Blade even extended an invitation, hoping to explore the Mirage Mountain Range together, his gaze continually sweeping over Yan Dingtian.

Tang Yu neither agreed nor refused, simply asking him to wait.

At the end,

As he was about to leave the castle, Blade couldn’t help but ask, “If we handled the transportation, we could deliver Green Shadow’s goods to Jing City in three days, just giving us an additional 1.5% profit would suffice.”

Tang Yu smiled, “You should hurry up and send the message back, by 9 AM tomorrow, the goods will appear near the second transfer station in Jing City, be sure to be ready to receive them.”

He then sent the puzzled Jing City Awakeners out of the castle.

…

Early morning, the sky had just begun to lighten.

The first batch of trained Air Soldiers stood erect on the parade ground, waiting for orders.

A total of twenty people, Lu Xiaopeng standing right at the front, each dressed in full gear, carrying black flight packs.

After several days of training, perhaps they couldn’t exert the same combat power in the air as on the ground, yet, their control over the flight packs had become very proficient; no more crashing into walls. Some of the Awakeners could even use the flight packs to perform stunning aerial maneuvers.

Eight to nine-tenths of their strength could be utilized.

“Today, as Air Soldiers, this is your first time on the battlefield, but you are not rookies, I don’t need to say more about what to pay attention to, there’s only one requirement, complete the mission perfectly. Do you understand?”

The Air Soldier instructor, also the general captain ‘Kong,’ said coldly.

“Understood!” The Air Soldiers responded in unison.

“Everyone, follow me.”

‘Kong’ turned around, his Wind Series Ability controlling the wind around him.

With a whoosh, he shot up into the sky, quickly reduced to a small dot.

The twenty Air Soldiers, not daring to delay, immediately activated their flight packs and flew into the sky, following behind Captain ‘Kong.’

The target, flying towards a certain location in the mountain range behind the Sanctuary.
