181 Chapter 181:Compromising 2 (1/2)

'He was actually just acting dumb so that Adakus would lower his guard that made him spout some unnecessary things that actually benefitted Dylan's arguments! Is he really just a nineteen year old? Why do I feel like I am staring at some old veteran here...' Okemos thought dazedly.

'He did not interact much earlier with Adalus to keep his presence small and he waited for Adalus to speak... Wait, but Adalus was just answering our questions... Does that mean he even predicted what questions we were going to ask?! This kid actually set this sort of intricate trap without us knowing...?' Arman felt cold air on his spine as he was amazed and scared of Dylan's intellect at the same time.

But, how could they know that Dylan's predictions and words were all based in the highly advanced psychology of Earth at the Advanced Digital Age that it could deeply explain myriads of thing regarding human behavior. As the greatest businessman, he needed to know the behavior and interest of his target market that required him to read an ample amount of psychology books which in turn helped him in his negotiation skills.

...

Adalus voice sounded hoarse as his smile was incessantly twitching,”Of course, I know. It seems that Young Noble is concerned about me. Do not worry, I will have a very reasonable reason from me delaying the report. Young Noble, asked about compensation? How much did you pay for the lot? Was it around 60,000 gold coins?”

”The full payment was sixty five thousand gold coins...” Dylan spoke while wearing a frown. Seeing his reaction, Adalus quickly looked at his butler who quickly brought large bag of gold and placed it on the table, ”Within the bag is seventy thousand gold coins, you can check it before you take it if you like. I hope that this will be an equal compensation already.”

'I can't believe I am actually being threatened by this kid! This kid is actually this sly and cunning! No wonder, Premier Halls Azelmek, took him as his disciple and formed a partnership with his business. ' Adalus harbored even more ill intentions to Dylan because of this!

'I can't let him grow more! He will become a huge threat to us in the future! Inhave to kill him!' If earlier he was just trying to help Gayolei to get rid of Dylan, nor, he wants to personally kill Dylan himself.

But, he knew that he could not do anything as the situation does not allow it, he could only quietly endure Dylan's words, 'If only these three were not present, I would have easily decapitated this arrogant brat who knows nothing but let his glib tongue run freely!'

At that moment, Dylan quickly returned to his calm demeanor and di not even look at the large amount of gold coins. He had no doubt that within there was exactly seventy five thousand gold coins like what Adalus said earlier but his aim was different, ”But the compensation I had in mind is another thing. So please, withdraw this money bag.”

”Oh, what could be this compensation you wish to seek for, Young Noble?” Adalus asked with a problem-filled look. He angirly clenched his fist that was under the table. He gritted his teeth behind his lips, 'This kid is actually testing me my tolerance patience!'

'This... is actually fun to watch!' The four sect heads felt and odd feeling of happpiness when they saw Adalus' frustrated expression. They knew all too well what it's like to face Dylan in a negotiationbut seeing how irritated Adalus was made them feel this, 'I am really glad he's not our foe.'

”Since the money, energy and time we used was for getting a lot, so I think it would be better to get another lot of land from those which you own. And, I already have a place that I would like to have.” Dylan stated with a calm and warm voice.

”Young Noble, it would be best if you refrain from being too free-willed. Are you going to ask me to hand over the deed of our best business?! Asking me for a land in my possession is an outrageous request! If Young Noble does not change his decision, I would have to be disrespectful to you and force you out.” Adalus who was already burning from anger was trying to remain calm despite his temper already at it's limit.

”What do you mean, Sect Head Adalus? I am not interested on the lot of your best business because I have already a lot in mind. It is that lot you have at Lightning Boulevard. The one that costs only forty one thousand gold coins. That's all.” Dylan conversed cordially as he looked at the shocked Adalus.

”Really?” Everyone present exclaimed in shock. They did not expect that Dylan would only settle for a small plot of land which was far smaller than what he originally wanted. Suddenly, they could no longer see through Dylan's intentions at all.

”Yes.” Dylan simply smiled at their confused and shocked expressions. He even jokingly spoke,” That lot is what I want unless you willingly give me more. I won't decline if you do, though.”

”Indeed, if that is what Young Noble wants as his compensation, I shall not decline any longer and to make up for your losses here's twenty five thousand gold coins. Just take it as a token of friendship from me.” Adalus smilingly said. Hearing that Dylan was not taking advantage of him, he could not be any more happy but there was still an uneasy feeling that has been bothering him, albeit, he did not know what it was.

'So, this is a show of cordiality. I never thought that this kid would actually be so capable in matters like this.' Adalus offered the twenty five thousand as a mere act of giving face to Dylan and he knew that Dylan would most likely reject it to give him some face.

”Sect Head Adalus is too generous and hospitable...” Dylan praised him with a warm smile. Adalus smiled when he heard this because it appears that what he thought of was what was exactly happening. But, suddenly, Dylan continued his sentence, ”...it would be shameful and unbecoming of me to not accept such a gift. I thank you for such a sincere gift, Sect Head.”

'I've been had! This kid set me up again!' Adalus' smile became stiff as he did not expect Dylan to actually accept the offer! It remained like that for some time while Dylan put the big bag of cash to his storage ring naturally. When he saw Dylan taking the cash, it was as if a boulder was stuck on his chest.

No matter what amount of money that was, for businessmen, if it was not used for their benefit, they would feel a huge loss from it. But, Adalus continued to play along, ”Hahaha, it is mere money but if it could strengthen my sect's relationship with yours, then it would be worth it.”

”Then, I shall look forward to working with Sect Head Adalus in the future.” Dylan smilingly said. After which, he put on an 'I just remembered something,' look and said, ”Sect Head Adalus, what about the deed for the lot I mentioned earlier?”
