Chapter 249: Negotiations
When he heard Sages words, Li Song frowned. While the man in front of him looked like he was fawning over him, in fact hed already started to come up with ways to strengthen his bargaining position. Li Song suddenly felt a headache start. The man in front of him was acting like he was doing them a favor, when actually he was fortifying his position.
In that case, just tear it all down. We certainly wouldnt want you to get a heart demon from unfinished work. If you just cancel the work and take it apart it wouldnt count as something unfinished. We can even compensate you for the trouble.
Sage wiped his forehead again and looked behind himself at the array formations and the waist-height wall, Ah, it is as you say. I can tear it all down and it will keep from harming my will. Even as much as I respect the great Cloudmetal Consortium, I just dont want to step back from this project. Even though Ive only just started, this wall and formation have inspired me. If I complete the project, I have the feeling that I can have a breakthrough in my Formation and Refining skills.
Li Song smashed his hand down on the table, Nonsense! Its just some stones and a hastily set array. How would that provide you with a breakthrough!?
Li Song lost his composure, the earnest expression on Ling Shengs face was just too much for him to handle. The lady at his side, Li Zhen put her hand onto Li Songs shoulder, Please calm down, Brother.
She could also tell that the humble character and earnest expression of the man was an act, but in order to continue friendly negotiations they just had to accept it. Li Zhen helped Li Song take a step back from the discussion and she took over.
It would truly be a fortuitous event if you were to reach a new level in your skills. From what I see so far, youre already quite an accomplished personage. I have a solution. We can offer you double the price for the Mine now, and you can feel free to continue your work. Once youre finished we can evaluate the final product and I promise you we will offer a price far above the market rate for it.
Without waiting for any further discussion, he turned around from where he was standing and marched back towards the defensive line the Hoplites had formed. The insect men stepping to the side to form a passageway for him. The moment he walked in they immediately tightened their ranks once again and presented a quite impressive wall of shields and spears.
Li Song called out at him as he walked away, still trying to bring him back to the negotiation table, but Li Zhen could only shake her head and lead their small group back to their soldiers. If they were to be violent right now, they might be victorious, but it might also lead to heavy losses. Even if the Jade Horde finished their wall and formations, they couldnt stand up to the full might of the Cloudmetal Consortium. Li Zhen instead sent a message to their headquarters to wait for more backup. The home base of the Cloudmetal Consortium was not in the 10,000 Wave or Bronze Tiger province. They had already brought over all the non-essential troops they had available locally. Things had not progressed past negotiations yet, so she didnt dare risk her forces for no reason.
To her side, Li Song was quite annoyed. They had come here expecting to easily secure some merit for themselves. Since when had anyone dared to defy the Cloudmetal Consortium? They had already completely destroyed a half dozen different groups in the past, all through different methods. Outside of the Provincial Leaders and the Royal Family, who could stand up to them?
Dont worry, Sister. I have a plan.
Whatever youre thinking, dont! We are to leave the option of friendly negotiation open until others from the main base arrive to handle the situation. We dont have enough military might to ensure a victory right now and once that wall and the second layer of formations are complete, we wont stand a chance. It will only take a couple weeks for the main bases forces to arrive, just endure it.
Li Song smiled, No need to fret, Im not a fool. My plan will not implicate us. We just need to use a borrowed knife to accomplish our goals.
Ahh, good idea, Brother! I know just the knife to borrow. Send a message to the Fierce Tigers.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
