Chapter 571 - Negotiation (2) (2/2)

Although the commander of the outpost was not from the Sparrow Family, he had the highest authority here. Moreover, he had the military as his backing, so he was eligible as a decision-maker.

Smite recognized the man in front of him as the commander of the outpost. He smiled since it went along with his plan.

The commander didn't dilly dally and said, ”We can give you 100 million golds and 100 King's grade equipment and weapon. Also, we will not retaliate against any attacks towards this outpost for three days.”

100 million golds and 100 king's grade items were considered quite a lot. However, it was useless to gain a win in this Bridge World.

”I know you are a smart person. If you are me, do you think you will accept these conditions?” Smite asked back towards the commanders.

With the returned question, the commander didn't answer. He knew that he would not accept these conditions at all. However, the commander still answered, ”With my authority, I can only guarantee this much. If you want more, then you need to wait for two days, so that man's family could come and negotiate with you?”

”Nope, can't do. Give me a satisfying offer right now, or you don't need to see this man anymore,” Smite smiled.

”Wait... I bet they can offer more, right commander?” The man from the Sparrow Family said towards the commander. He was afraid of Smite's threat.

The commander was pondering. He was thinking hard about what to offer. Actually, he didn't want to save this son of noble. However, he also knew that he was out of options.

The commander doubled the offer. That was his limit. He knew that he could not give more than that. If Smite still didn't want to accept the offer, he could only just let the nobleman die.

Smite looked at the commander when he heard the new offer and said, ”How about this? I don't need all of what you had said. Leave this outpost and give it to me?”

The soldiers behind the commander were triggered by this statement. They went forward but were stopped by the commander.

”You knew that it was out of options.” The commander said calmly.

Smite shrugged his shoulders and said, ” At least, I tried. Fine, I will take your offer.”

Smite was saying like he took a big loss in this negotiation. Meanwhile, the man from the Sparrow Family was brightened. He was saved. He quickly urged the commander to seal the deal so he could ensure his safety.

”Can you give me two days to gather the money?” The commander asked.

However, Smite shook his head and refused, ”Nope, you only have one hour to fulfill your obligation. If you don't have that much cash, I can accept other things that had the same value. And, don't try to cheat by giving useless items. I have my own ways to evaluate things.”

The commander could only smile wryly. The first time he saw Smite, he knew that the negotiation would not go well for him. To gather that much amount of money within one hour means he had to empty half of his outpost. This would make his outpost's defense opened wide.
