Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 634: Chapter 42: Smith’s Million Gold Coin Deal and the Gray Market Trading Company’s Invitation_2

His goal from the beginning was just one: to lie flat securely. Provoking Lady Beiunika would seriously disrupt his current peaceful life.

He would conquer this beautiful married woman, Sister Bei, but that would be when he has the power to contend with Legendary Knights. Just like how King Qin swept across the six realms, gathering all the world’s concubines to fill the palace, rather than sneaking around with Lady Beiunika.

Thus, he calmly said, ”I don’t know what means you used to peer into my thoughts, but I must say, you don’t understand the human mind.”

Smith, for the first time, completely lost his composure, angrily saying, ”I don’t understand the human mind? Lanode granted me the perfect empathy ability, allowing me to slip silently into others’ inner worlds like a stealthy black cat. Regardless of the language used by those conversing with me, I can fully comprehend their current meanings, plans, and thoughts! Haven’t you thought about Lady Beiunika?”

Su Li, upon seeing this, actually relaxed, directly pulling up a chair, sitting in front of the three merchants. He felt he had somewhat overestimated the high-level nobles of Marle Castle. The reason these people could hold high positions was probably not due to any talent, but primarily relying on their family background and wealth.

It’s understandable when you think about it; such a vast Empire, with entrenched noble rule and deeply tied interest networks, controlling numerous electoral districts, resulting in many senator positions being hereditary.

There must be a large number with flashy outsides, but internally are merely empty bags of straw. If you strip away his illustrious status and aura, his talent might not necessarily surpass the ministers under Su Li.

And Su Li has been dealing with these ministers for a long time; he smoothly said, ”Senator Smith has probably long coveted Lady Beiunika, hasn’t he? Why don’t you take advantage of the City Lord’s absence and go after Lady Beiunika? To speak bluntly, we all lack nothing in women; would we lose our rationality for such trivial matters?”

But to Su Li’s surprise, an unexpected scene unfolded; Senator Smith’s pale, feminine face quickly flushed red as he clenched his right fist, instantly shattering the wine glass in his hand, ”That tactless bitch Beiunika, I don’t want to say another word about her. Bauhinia Knight, I hope you’re not a fool.”

Did he really try to flirt with Lady Beiunika?

Upon hearing this, Su Li not only did not get angry but instead leaned back in the chair with a smile. A person can express anger, but cannot express angrily.

He also fully saw through Senator Smith; in such a public diplomatic occasion, he could actually bicker in front of everyone.

Such a candidate, yet able to serve as a senator, indicating the corruption and darkness within Marle Castle, truly no better than the Empire.

He stretched out his hand, casually playing with Hilude’s fair and soft palm, in front of the Divine Chosen Knight, any threat seems so trivial.

In circumstances where Legendary Knights were also invited to Modheim, Divine Chosen Knights are currently the highest combat power in the Border Prince’s Territory, especially as Hilude has the backing of a large amount of superior equipment, consuming a large quantity of Extraordinary Grain and fruits.

To be blunt, even if the opponent’s estate has one or two Divine Chosen Level assassins, they won’t pose any threat to Su Li.

At this moment, he suddenly realized how strong he had become. No wonder the other party took the initiative to invite him to Sea-Lake Park.

”Let’s be straightforward; what do you wish to gain from me with your sudden goodwill?”

Smith finally managed to control his anger, revealing a satisfied smile, saying, ”From now on, I am the sole sales channel for your Hesse Territory equipment; all the Dwarf equipment you transport to Marle Castle can only be delivered to me.”

This condition was indeed overbearing; Su Li did not rush to anger or turn hostile, calmly looking at him, waiting for him to continue.

The room fell into silence for a while, Su Li’s silence and lack of response left Smith a bit surprised; both sides stared at each other for a moment, Smith couldn’t maintain his composure after all, as this negotiation was his invitation to Su Li, so he cared more about this cooperation, he said, ”Of course, we will offer you an irresistible high price, every set of armor 100 Golden Crowns! Every weapon 40 Golden Crowns!”

Su Li suddenly took a breath, involuntarily gripping Hilude’s palm tightly; a price of 100 Golden Crowns! This was already 37 Golden Crowns higher than the highest price Su Li had sold before! It has seriously exceeded the normal price for armor.

In circumstances without large-scale wars, the normal price for a set of armor is 20-30 Golden Crowns.

The other party raised the price to 100 Golden Crowns, reaching an unreasonable level.

Su Li asked, ”What is your request?”

”We require the inclusion of Star Silver Iron!”

After waiting for a long time without further words, Su Li frowned, ”No other requests?”

”No, just this one request, it shouldn’t affect the quality of the armor, nor increase your costs significantly.”

Su Li and Hilude exchanged glances, Hilude decisively leaned over, whispering in his ear, ”Lord, I suspect they want to pass off inferior goods, using these refined equipment with Star Silver Iron to supply the Marle Castle army, pretending they are Refined Level Star Iron Armor. This way, by pricing according to Star Iron Armor, each set can yield at least 300 Golden Crowns.”
