The Life Science Group won’t let the business opportunity of war slip by, arriving early as if sensing the scent of blood like flies, undeterred by danger.

The middle-aged man, dressed in business attire, was steady and composed, greeting Wang Xuan with flattery: "Mr. Wang’s reputation precedes him, known to the world as a genius without equal. I’ve long looked forward to meeting you. Now seeing you in person is a pleasant surprise; truly seeing is better than hearing."

Wang Xuan nodded, extending a friendly hand; although the other party came for business, all they spoke were pleasantries.

"Young Master Wang, we meet again," Roland laughed lightly, graceful and charming.

She had met Wang Xuan at Dragon Mountain while competing with her rival Yang Anqi, searching for Dominator’s bloodline, having briefly encountered him.

Even knowing that Dominator was under Wang Xuan’s control, she refrained from mentioning it, pretending ignorance due to Wang Xuan’s strength and status, which she couldn’t provoke.

"How do you want to negotiate this deal?" Wang Xuan, lacking time for a business negotiation, sought ways to maintain the initiative, which he didn’t need.

His power and status naturally placed him as the initiator; facing the King of Earth Immortals, who could become a Star Lord in decades, none dared to belittle him.

"How about acquiring demon beasts at the retail price?" Luo Kai asked.

Wang Xuan shook his head: "It’s not easy to obtain living demon beasts that can be subdued without forced control in a short time. You must know that the number of captives in this war wasn’t many."

He sipped tea while allowing the two to discuss; before long, Luo Kai excused himself temporarily, leaving Roland alone.

Roland was a great beauty, her figure graceful with delicate brows, and crucially, she had a certain charm.

She intentionally drew close, offering tea to Wang Xuan, saying, "Young Master Wang, you manage countless affairs; this small business perhaps doesn’t catch your eye. Our Life Science Group discussing this deal won’t bring you too much trouble."

She heard that the Changsheng Group was Wang Xuan’s asset, so the Life Science Group was willing to lead some projects to help them expand beyond the Mother Star, into other markets within the Solar System.

Wang Xuan was noncommittal; this wasn’t a small business. Even a single living demon beast at the Meridian Opening level, just experiencing Demon Qi Overflowing Body, was worth ten million Star Yuan, not to mention hundreds of Earth Demons.

The unique bloodline of demon beasts from the Ten Thousand Beasts Realm differed greatly from known demon beasts, having significant research value. Selling at the retail price of similar demon beasts would mean substantial losses for him.

Roland knew it was difficult to deal with such highly esteemed individuals; using power to oppress wasn’t feasible, and they certainly weren’t lacking money. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Her abundant bust wrapped within the cheongsam, Roland said coyly, "Young Master Wang, you truly make things difficult for me."

Wang Xuan glanced at her, saying coolly, "Are you aware of my spirit prowess?"

Surprised, Roland hadn’t yet queried before she exclaimed, falling into Wang Xuan’s embrace as his large hands swept past, causing an electrifying sensation.

It wasn’t her sensitivity, but a biological instinctive reaction, though she couldn’t deny her mind was extremely tense.

"If I wish, I can know what you’re pondering. Nervous? Worried? You seem very conflicted." After measuring this charming woman’s bust, Wang Xuan made no further advance.

A few years back, before such top-grade women, others wouldn’t even glance at him. But now, given his strength and status, Roland dared not resist such intimate contact, let alone rebuke.

Roland’s initially tense and conflicted mind turned numb with terror. She revered Wang Xuan and contemplated using beauty to negotiate the major deal. Although her Luo Family held special status in Life Science, she still had to strive, needing accomplishments.

Negotiating this deal could bring Life Science Group benefits totaling tens of trillions of Star Yuan, which was substantial compared to their annual profit. For her, it was capital for promotion, earning significant rewards.

Turbulent in spirit, Roland became enthralled by Wang Xuan’s demon-like eyes, hearing him ask, "Tell me, what’s your bottom line this time?"

Involuntarily, Roland said, "Twenty trillion Star Yuan; if more, the Life Science Group can’t bear the risks, and profits aren’t sufficient to attract us to invest."

"Is that so?" A smile tugged at Wang Xuan’s lips as he set the violet woman with natural charm aside, letting her drift into sleep.

After Life Science made contact, the Divine Gene also approached, but primarily based in the West, the Divine Gene Group only wanted to select some demon beasts with hidden bloodlines.

Since it wasn’t a full purchase, Wang Xuan wasn’t keen on negotiating, merely saying, "I’ll consider it."

Upon waking, Roland refrained from discussing what occurred alone with Wang Xuan. If disclosed to the group, she feared severe punishment.

She thought Wang Xuan would use it as a threat, forcing her subjugation, but he seemed not to have such intent.

Relieved yet subconsciously disappointed, Roland mused: "Does my beauty not move you?"

When Wang Xuan formally negotiated with Luo Kai, Luo Kai offered, saying, "Mr. Wang, I’ve contacted headquarters; we’re willing to make concessions. An Immortal Martial True Inheritance favor is far more important than money."

This, Wang Xuan knew, was to deceive him; he merely stated, "Offer the price." Talking in abstracts was useless.

"Eight trillion, already 50% higher than the retail price; such sincerity, what does True Inheritor Wang think?" Luo Kai smiled.

Yet Wang Xuan cursed inwardly, knowing this old fox was utterly insincere.

"Too low." His expression was blank, "Thirty trillion Star Yuan; agree, and this batch of demon beasts is yours."

"This, this is ludicrous; how could it be possible?" Luo Kai jumped in shock; such exorbitance was akin to extortion.

Negotiating tirelessly, Wang Xuan casually reduced the price. Regardless of Luo Kai’s claims of Life Science Group suffering losses in the deal, unable to profit, Wang Xuan paid no heed.

"Is it feasible? Twenty trillion, final offer. If not, leave!" Wang Xuan stood with a posture suggesting negotiations might break down, utterly disregarding Life Science Group’s face.

In the face of Immortal Martial Mountain’s absolute power, Life Science was nothing; any Void True Immortal could severely harm them.

Roland promptly persuaded Luo Kai, her uncle nearly incited a heart attack from anger, yet she dared not speak for Life Science.

The business negotiation eventually concluded with Life Science Group purchasing the demon beasts from Wang Xuan for eighteen trillion Star Yuan.

Led by old-hand Luo Kai, if negotiations met the bottom line price, he would have gained no merit, preferring not to close the deal; Wang Xuan ultimately compromised as well.

Upon leaving, Luo Kai reprimanded, "Roland, what’s the matter? Aren’t you a business elite, yet entirely useless!"

He was indeed angered at himself too; this transaction could’ve reduced expenditure by nearly ten trillion Star Yuan, yet it ended thus.

Throughout his business career, rarely had he suffered such failures.

Roland dared not confess she disclosed the low price to Wang Xuan; doing so would spell her doom, merely replied, "Wang Xuan, as King of Earth Immortals, is the strongest among them; his methods and demeanor far exceed our imagination. This outcome isn’t what we wanted; the opponent is simply too powerful."

Even Luo Kai, a Pure Yang Cultivator, held Wang Xuan in respect; outside the Immortal Holy Land, even those at the Peak of Celestial Immortal wouldn’t offend Wang Xuan.

With half the down payment in his pocket, Wang Xuan contemplated where to purchase land; this sum sufficed to buy a large island.

The optimal purchase was on the Mother Star, where land prices rose annually; purchasing land exceeded other investments in returns, requiring less effort.

If someday he wished to retire, having ten million acres as a landlord wouldn’t be bad; thousands of square kilometers where horses could run to exhaustion.
