57 A Treasure Trove Part 2 (1/2)

(HE) ”You have royally screwed up this time Wu San Gui. I can't believe you would be so brazen as to do something as foolish as using money that you do not have.”

(WSG) ”Head Elder...” He started but couldn't finish since Baron's voice rang throughout the building.

(BM) ”Hey how about a deal, elders from Vesper?”

(HE) ”What could you possibly offer that we would want?”

(BM) ”How about I buy the blueprint for 400,001 silver coins, and after you this event you come to me to reimburse me 100,000?”

(WSG) ”Who is this disrespectful little runt think he is? Who would think to do something so stupid,”

(HE) ”Now this might actually be a pretty good deal for you Wu San Gui.”

(WSG) ”You can't be seriously considering this offer, are you? I mean he would get the blueprint and we have to pay 100,000? Are you out of your mind?”

(HE) ”Not us. You. You will have to pay back the faction over 200,000 silver coins if you make me use the faction's funds. If you take this runt up on his offer then you won't have to pay us back anything. You have over 100,000 in your own personal funds right?”

(WSG) ”Yes but that isn't the point.”

(HE) ”But nothing. This is your decision now. I was willing to let you use 200,000 coins from the faction since I had wanted that item as well. Now you have put me in a difficult position and therefore I will not be helping you out anymore.”

(WSG) ”Wait...”

(HE) ”Choose!Drain your funds and owe us over 200,000 and get that blueprint all to yourself. Or pay that kid there 100,000, don't owe anybody anything, and no blueprint. Decide quickly as there are many eyes looking at us.”

(WSG) ”Kuh. FINE! You in the Forever Pirates booth! I'll take you up on your offer.”

(BM) ”Remember elder Wu San Gui, there are multiple witnesses here. You better not go back on your words.”

(WSG) ”Hah? Who do you take me for you low life? Of course, I know that.”

(BM) ”Good. I bid 400,001.”

(LG) ”Uhh, oh of course. 400,001 going once, going twice, sold to the young man in the Forever Pirates private room.” Li Guang said as he snapped out of his little daydream.

This was a result that not many people could predict. Who knew anyone would be so cunning as to make another faction pay for a part of a blueprint and not get anything in return. This was simply too laughable to many of the audience. The loud roars of laughter filled the room. Even the usually composed Li Guang could barely hold it back.

(BM) ”What do you think guys? Pretty good deal huh?”

(XD) ”I have been here for many years and not once have I seen anyone is played like a fool as much as what just happened.” Xu Da said as he pretended to bow down to Baron from his chair while muttering ”truly I am not worthy.”

(BM) ”That's a bit much from you Xu Da, but I do appreciate the gesture.”

(MZ) ”Truly remarkable. That is indeed some high level of bargaining power that you have.” Madam Zheng said with praise.

(YF) ”Colour me impressed, Baron. Well done. Haha.” Yue Fei said holding back a light chuckle.

(MW) ”Amazing work. I can start to see why my two sons have started following you around.” Meng Wu stated.

(BM) ”Yes, let's focus on what else the Sun Alliance has in store for us.”
