章節 24: ~And Action~
'Excuse me, I'll go myself to accept it and it seems the president has arrived. I need to direct her here,' Su Qing stood up and said. Huno nodded, and she left.
Twenty minutes later, Su Qing stepped back in with a woman. 'Sir Ochiro, this is our president, mistress Yu Chani,' Su Qing introduced.
'It is nice to meet you, sir,' Yu Chani said and sat down.
'Likewise,' Huno replied.
'Peak True Realm,' Luna muttered.
Yu Chani was shocked. The young lady beside the man had no cultivation realm but said her realm at a glance. The only realm that should be able to hide from her is the mid-rank legendary realm and above. Su Qing, who also realized this stiffened again, it was one thing if it was a low rank but a mid-rank and higher was a different thing.
Calmly and not showing any bit of fright or fear, Yu Chani turned to Luna and said, 'I have seen the senior. May I know which great family you belong to?'
Luna closed her eyes and said nothing. The room became quiet, the only sound was from Huno as gulp down the tea. Luna opened her eyes and looked at the two ladies in front of her before saying, 'you seem to have gotten the wrong idea like this young lady standing, I am not from a great family neither am I in the legendary realm, I am on the same realm as you, it's just I have gone deep in it where I can boldly go against a mid-rank legendary realm though it will take efforts I won't be embarrassed,'.
Yu Chani, who was calm and collected, showed a hint of fright in her eyes. 'I would like senior to enlighten me,' she said. She was quite confused.
'I can't do that. We are here for a different thing and my husband here doesn't enjoy wasting time,' Luna said. 'She is definitely a legendary realm expert, i need to be careful,' Yu Chani thought.
Not waiting for Yu Chani to say anything, Huno spoke, 'with that said, I believe you are from a great family?'
'I married into a great family. My husband lost his life because of the jealousy of greedy men of the family. And I ended up kicked out,' Yu Chani said.
'That's not something you tell a stranger,' Huno said.
'It has been the talk of the town for years. What's there to bother about?' Yu Chani replied.
'I see, well straight to business. I want you guys to help me auction some goods. May I have your word it will not be traced back to me?' Huno asked.
'Sir, the goods won't even be traced to the Twilight family, we have several special peak True realm masters that are not known by the public, their job is for cases like this and when doing their job they have masks and disguise artifacts on to prevent being known by other companies,' Yu Chani replied.
'It seems even your family is cautious,' Huno said.
'We learned from experience that in business, proof of ownership can be forged and that brought trouble to us,' Yu Chani said.
'Alright well moving on, I want to sell Qi stones, a huge amount of them, no these Qi stones are not from any great families' mine I got them from a cave in the peripheral area of the cold region,' Huno said.
'I see.' Yu Chani sat up straight and listened.
'Come in,' Yu Chani heard Huno say, and immediately Luna disappeared.
Before she could say anything, Huno said, 'Come out,' and Luna appeared with a small basket in her hand.
The basket was a foot long and two feet wide. It was filled to the brim with qi stones.
'What will be the starting price for these?' Huno asked.
'If we take the actual ratio of a fist to one gold, this should be at least one hundred gold (Huno frowned) but when you put the rarity of the stones, the price should increase by four to six times, if you add the energies it contain which will increase the value of that four to six times will increase to eight to ten times so the starting price can be said to be eight hundred to a thousand gold, this is in theory when you put man's desire, need and ambitions that price can go to a whole new level,' Yu Chani replied.
'So the starting price will be a thousand, but we should expect about ten thousand back,' Huno said.
'Let's put expectation at five thousand,' Yu Chani said.
'Okay, let's start our negotiations. I need protection and an array master. What protection can you offer me?' Huno asked.
'I can provide three masters at the peak realm, how long and how much depends on your negotiation with them,' Yu Chani replied and added, 'but I assure you, they are from the Twilight family and whatever they see will not be spread to the outside world,'.
'Can you make it four?' Huno asked.
'I'll see what I can do,' Yu Chani replied.
'Okay the array master, I need him to make two arrays in the building I bought, one around the whole compound and the other around the building itself both are for protection and isolation of sound and energy, I don't mind how much he spends to acquire the top and best materials if the money from the auction can cover it then pay for it, I need an array that's able to block a mid-rank legendary realm,' Huno said.
'I understand, but please, this will take some time. Setting a big array can last for months, and we also have to wait for the array master to be available,' Yu Chani said.
'I know, this brings us to the last, I'll increase your twenty percent to thirty percent if during this time the array master is at work we would be allowed to live at the Twilight headquarters, I believe that should be the most secured place you guys have in the city,' Huno said.
'That... What is your requirement in a place to stay?' Yu Chani thought and asked.
'Three rooms, close to each other. Don't worry, our movement will be within those rooms,' Huno said.
'That's a deal, but I don't think this will cover it,' Yu Chani said.
'Don't worry, I will provide nine more baskets,' Huno said.
Su Qing sucked in heavily, ten baskets. If we take it at the price of five thousand gold, that will be fifty thousand gold.
'I suggest you divide them into three batches or whatever. I think we both know that the more the energy in a batch, the higher the value,' Huno said.
'I understand, sir, if sir does not mind me asking? Do you really not mind spending any amount on the array formation?' Yu Chani asked.
'I don't mind as long as it can meet my requirements,' Huno replied.
'Okay sir, I will get all the high-level trustworthy array masters I can get to work together to increase the efficiency and the speed. I'll do my best,' Yu Chani replied.
'I'm glad you understand the situation,' Huno said.
'Sir, if I didn't understand, I'll be a fool,' Yu Chani replied.
Huno smiled, 'I'm happy I met someone who has experienced the great families. Well, concerning the guards, I have changed my mind. I wish to buy them completely,' he said.
Yu Chani smiled and sat up. 'I hope sir will be generous to me concerning this matter,' she said.
Huno looked at her and laughed, 'okay then, it's nice meeting you, I am Huno,' he said stretching out his hand to shake her.
'Nice to meet you Huno, you can call me Yu, I hope we can be good friends,' Yu Chani replied and took his hands.
Luna frowned at her as if saying, 'hey you paws off,'. Yu Chani took her hand back and apologized, 'I have offended the senior, please forgive me,'.
Huno laughed again, 'my wife here is quite umm... overly protective, don't worry she won't hurt you, she's just letting you know I'm her territory, with time she'll become open and yes we can be good friends,' he said and added, 'but just a warning if you betray me I may forgive you but my wife won't,'.
'I promise not to,' Yu Chani said. 'Promises can easily be broken like tearing paper action is everything,' Luna said.
'My wife has trust issues, we were betrayed severally before and we almost lost our lives severally, so gaining her trust can be one of the hardest things to do,' Huno said.
'Senior brother and junior sister, you guys are really good actors. When did you plan all these?' Xue Li asked.
'I am quite speechless, brother,' Lee Wei said.
Yu Chani looked at Luna, her expression sad, 'I truly understand, she's just protecting the one precious to her, if I could take time back, I'll try to be like you senior, instead of my weak self,' she said.
Luna's expression softened as she understood what she meant. 'Let's proceed,' Luna said.
'Yes, concerning the guards, Huno will you be willing to pay with the stones?' Yu Chani asked.
Luna whispered into Huno's ear, Huno turned to Yu Chani and asked, 'my wife wants to know if it's possible to get you to join us after the issue with the array master is completed?'.
'Forgive me, it may not be possible. Your life is going to be a lively one. That kind of liveliness isn't for me,' Yu Chani replied.
'Alright, so back to the guards, yes I can pay with stones. What is your asking price? Let me hear,' Huno said.
'For four guards, well, let's go for three baskets per guard,' Yu Chani said.
'This is assuming each basket cost five thousand, right? Well, for the guards, we will increase our expectations. Hope you don't mind Yu'er,' Huno said.
'Of course, I do not,' Yu Chani replied.
'Assuming it cost ten thousand, I will give fifteen baskets for the four, but each of those guards should have a pair of low-grade legendary realm artifacts,' Huno said.
'Deal,' Yu Chani replied immediately. 'What!?' Huno said, shocked at her quick response.
'Deal, it's difficult to sell legendary realm artifacts so rather than let them collect dust it's worth exchanging them for those exact three baskets that will grant us greater use and value,' Yu Chani explained and added, 'the more peak realm we have the more security my family receives and the broader our range of investment and businesses,'.
'I see, in that case, get me five pairs for six baskets,' Huno said. 'It's lovely doing business with you,' Yu Chani said. 'Please let me take you to your place so you can rest,' she added.
Huno nodded to her and took Luna in before standing up. Yu Chani walked to the door and then turned to face Su Qing, 'little sister Su follow me to the headquarters, you've been promoted, I need someone to help me with his business and you are the only one I can trust,'.
'Yes, senior sister,' Su Qing said.
'Do you know she still stands at the door to welcome clients?' Huno said.
'Aren't you the first vice manager here? Why do that?' Yu Chani asked.
'Reporting to the elder sister, I started with that and became used to it. Staying behind a desk isn't meant for me,' Su Qing replied.
'I see,' Yu Chani said, smiling.
