"Please believe that our Bada Trading Company has always operated with integrity and will never intentionally mislead customers."
The beautiful woman's words sounded full of sincerity and apology, trying to resolve the dissatisfaction in Ling Xiao's heart.
However, Ling Xiao's expression did not ease at all. He still frowned and said resolutely: "I understand the preciousness of rare medicinal materials, but the price should also be reasonable. At most, I can only accept 40 million for one plant.
The price. I hope the shopkeeper can understand. I don’t mean to make things difficult, I just don’t want to be taken advantage of.”
The beautiful woman looked a little embarrassed when she heard this. She knew that the price proposed by Ling Xiao was already close to their lowest price, but due to the rules and interests of the business, she had to stick to her principles.
"Sir, we understand your request, but the soul-breaking grass that is more than five hundred years old is too precious, and the price of 40 million is really difficult for us to accept."
Ling Xiao's face was so gloomy that it seemed like it could drip water, and his deep eyes flashed with unquestionable determination. He pursed his lips tightly, and his whole body exuded a sense of oppression that could not be ignored. Obviously, in the past five hundred years today,
He is determined to get the above-mentioned soul-breaking grass.
If the other party really intends to take advantage of the scarcity of rare medicinal materials to blackmail him, then he will never sit still and wait for death. He will not give out even a penny easily, nor will he allow himself to be a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Today, I, Ling Xiao, will decide on the soul-breaking grass." His words were as cold as ice, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with unquestionable determination, "Since you can't do it with 40 million,
Accept it, then it’s 30 million, which is the highest price I can give. Will you give it, or not?” His eyes were burning, looking directly at the beautiful woman, as if he wanted to penetrate her disguise and look directly into her heart.
The beautiful woman was shocked by his momentum and took a step back involuntarily, with a trace of panic flashing in her eyes. She obviously did not expect Ling Xiao to be so tough, nor did she expect that he would directly cut the price back to the initial three-month price mentioned by the maid.
Ten million.
I originally wanted to make some money from Ling Xiao, but I didn't expect that it would be self-defeating.
"Your Excellency, what are you..." The beautiful woman's voice trembled slightly. She tried to use words to ease the atmosphere, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao's gaze was as sharp as ice, coldly penetrating the beautiful woman's disguise and reaching her heart. "Don't pretend to be stupid with me, do you think I didn't do enough homework in advance when I came here to buy the soul-breaking grass?"
His voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the beautiful woman's heart.
He continued, "Soul-breaking grass, although this herb is rare, its uses are limited. The price on the market has always been stable, far less than the 30 million you are quoted at the moment. If I didn't urgently need this thing, how could I be with you?
So entangled?"
After finishing speaking, a trace of anger flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes, which was dissatisfaction and indignation against the greed and deception of merchants.
"You actually dare to open your mouth and ask for 50 million. Do you really think that I, Ling Xiao, am a soft persimmon that is easy to bully?" There was unquestionable toughness in his tone, as if he was ready to defend his rights at any time.
When the beautiful woman heard this, her face changed slightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of vigilance and hostility flashed in her eyes. She quietly grasped a delicate short blade in her sleeve, which she, as the shopkeeper of a trading company,
A weapon used for self-protection when necessary. This subtle movement could not escape Ling Xiao's keen perception.
"Why, are you still planning to take action?" Ling Xiao sneered, with both ridicule and disdain in his voice. He did not expect that before he had any intention of taking strong measures, the other party was already planning to take action.
At this moment, his impression of Bada Trading Company became even worse, thinking that the people here were greedy for profit and did not follow the rules.
"In the martial arts world, strength should speak for itself and integrity should be the basis. I didn't expect that your Bada Trading Company would behave like this. If business fails, you will resort to force. It's really eye-opening." Ling Xiao's words.
It was full of irony and disappointment. He knew very well that such a deal, even if it was reluctantly reached, would definitely not be pleasant.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the VIP room became extremely tense, as if a tight string could break at any time. The confrontation between Ling Xiao and the beautiful woman was not only about the transaction of Soul-Destroying Grass, but also about the martial arts world.
A silent battle between justice and greed, integrity and deception.
A sneer curled up at the corner of Ling Xiao's lips, a complex emotion that mixed disdain and ridicule. He secretly thought in his heart that he had never taken any drastic action, but the other party had already shown his intention to do something. This person from Bada Trading Company,
Sure enough, as rumored by the outside world, their behavior style is exactly the same, greedy and unruly.
"If the business is not successful, why should we rob it?" There was a hint of coldness in Ling Xiao's words, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see into the deepest dark corners of people's hearts.
Facing Ling Xiao's question, the beautiful woman had an unnatural look on her face, but she soon returned to normal. After a moment of silence, she seemed to have made some kind of decision.
At this moment, her right ear trembled slightly, as if she had received some secret signal. Then, she quickly adjusted her expression and put on a warm smile.
"Your Majesty, you really misunderstood. Our Bada Trading Company has been in the martial arts world for many years and has always been based on integrity. How could we do such a black-hearted thing?" The beautiful woman's voice was soft and magnetic, and her words were full of sincerity.
It's as if the previous conflict never happened.
After that, she waved her right hand gently, her movements were elegant and calm, as if she was performing a carefully choreographed performance. As she moved, a delicate square box suddenly appeared in front of Ling Xiao. The box was made of unknown wood.
Made of stainless steel, the surface exudes a touch of fluorescence, making it look both mysterious and noble.
Ling Xiao's eyes narrowed. Although he had doubts in his heart, he still reached out and took the box. He gently opened the lid of the box and saw two soul-breaking grasses lying side by side inside. Each one exuded a faint fragrance and had green leaves.
The roots are dripping, and the rhizomes show a deep purple color, which is obviously a very old treasure.
"They are all Soul-Destroying Grasses that are more than five hundred years old!" Ling Xiao couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart. Such a year is extremely rare in the martial arts world.
Ling Xiao nodded slightly to show his approval of the transaction. Then, he flicked his fingers, and the fingertips seemed to condense the shimmer in the air. A storage ring shining with a faint aura slowly floated towards the beautiful woman. The ring
It contains 60 million high-grade spiritual stones, which are extremely valuable, enough to demonstrate its sincerity and strength.
The beautiful woman's eyes moved slightly and she quickly glanced at the storage ring. After confirming that it was correct, she flipped her wrist and the same exquisite storage ring appeared in her palm. With a slight stroke, the spirit stone was sucked in like running water.
