I Can Give Talent

Chapter 142 – Negotiation 2

Leyvi was excited. "Father-in-law, are you sure? You are giving us an airship?"

"Hahaha! It's not that much compared to the discount we received. It's a smaller model that I kept with me for an emergency, but I didn't need it so far. Although it's a smaller model, it is spacious enough for your family right now."

"Father-in-law, you are so generous! Since you are being generous, I will be generous, too. I'll give you 100 bottles of natural liquid Qi. It's a thanks for the airship. It was supposed to be for our earlier agreement, anyway. Hahaha!"

Magnus was stunned. He didn't expect that Leyvi would still give him the natural liquid Qi. This kid is really generous.

He started to understand his son-in-law's personality even more. If you were generous to him, he would be more generous to you. His daughter Selene truly had good eyes for a man.

"Good good, since you are that generous, I'll be shameless and receive them. We actually needed the natural liquid Qi for something." Magnus didn't reject and welcome those natural liquid Qi.

After Anda received a tier-4 Alchemy Formula and the airship from Magnus, the negotiation with the Goldstone Family ended. Magnus decided against a contract because he didn't think it was necessary. He trusted Leyvi and Anda.

Next, they continued the negotiation with the Clover Family.

Before this, Layla had informed Anda that Vitali had come and offered his younger sister to marry Leyvi and establish a relationship with the Leyan Family.

Anda felt intrigued. Although she knew it was for the sake of the Mystic Realm spots, forming relationships with two South Region giant families was not a bad idea.

"Patriarch Vitali, where is your younger sister? I heard that you proposed to my husband on her behalf." Anda asked.

Leyvi rolled his eyes. Of course, that's the first thing she asked.

"Haha, Alchemist Anda, you don't have to worry about that anymore. I was hasty at that time and didn't ask for her opinion. After that, I discussed it with her and she disagreed, unfortunately." Vitali explained, leaving out the part where he got beaten up. 

Anda showed a disappointed look. "Really? Too bad. I thought my husband would be able to get a new wife again."

"Huh?" Vitali was stunned. Aren't you supposed to be happy that your husband failed to get a new woman? Why are you disappointed? This was the first time he saw a situation like this.

"Sigh...It can't be helped. There's no 50% family discount then. Patriarch Vitali, for the two spots, I don't want any spirit stones, I want two tier-4 Alchemy Formulas." Anda demanded.

"What? Two tier-4 Alchemy Formulas?" Vitali felt troubled. He definitely didn't want their exclusive alchemy formulas to be leaked outside.

It would be much easier if she wanted spirit stones. Even if she wanted to charge him 400000 medium-grade spirit stones for the two spots, he could still clench his teeth and pay for it.

Should I give up a spot? No no, that bastard Magnus probably got two spots. I can't lose to him. Dammit! I could still reluctantly give one alchemy formula, but two of our family legacies were just too much.

Wait a minute! 50% family discount? What does she mean by that? Don't tell me...

Vitali recalled that Magnus seemed very happy before he left, as if he got a bargain.

"Alchemist Anda, may I ask did that bastard Magnus, ehem, Patriarch Magnus, exchange the two spots with two alchemy formulas as well?" He asked.

Anda was ecstatic, but she acted calm. Her bait was hooked. "Ah yes, originally it would be two formulas, but since Selene is my husband's wife, the Goldstone is considered family. And of course, families get special treatment. So I only ask for one tier-4 alchemy formula."

Leyvi rolled his eyes again. His panda wife was willing to obtain one less tier-4 alchemy formula for another woman to join the family. Was she really that desperate to win the night battle against me?

Vitali eyes shined. If that bastard Magnus could get a bargain like this, why couldn't he, too?

Marrying women off for the benefit of the family has always been a common occurrence. His younger sister, Ava, would understand how important this was to the family.

In any case, the family had supported her for a long time, so it was time for her to contribute. She could be mad all she wanted. He would endure all the beating from her later.

"Hahaha! Alchemist Anda, actually I lied previously. My younger sister has no problem marrying your husband. How about it? Will you accept our proposal, Brother Leyvi?" Vitali quickly changed his mind and offered his younger sister again.

Leyvi and Layla were dumbfounded. Leyvi couldn't help but criticize Vitali in his mind. This old flower was really shameless! Magnus was definitely better than Vitali personality-wise.

"How can I accept the proposal just like that? I haven't seen the person in question yet," Leyvi responded.

Honestly, he wanted to reject it, but his wife seemed to have some sort of evil plan again. So, he could only follow along.

"Brother Leyvi, Alchemist Anda, please wait for me, I'll bring my sister here. In the meantime, you can negotiate with the others first." Vitali immediately flew out of the Grand Stadium to search for his sister. Since the event had ended, there was no more flying restriction.

After that, they negotiated with the Pill Ascension Sect's Sect Master, Vee Ramlee. Anda immediately stated that she wanted two tier-4 Alchemy Formulas in exchange for the two spots.

Just like Vitali, Vee Ramlee was very reluctant about it and after bargaining back and forth, Anda decided to give him a discount if Pill Ascension Sect formed a cooperative relationship with the Mountain Dew Sect.

Vee Ramlee immediately agreed with Anda's terms and they both signed the contract. In the end, Anda got one tier-4 Alchemy Formula, a cooperative agreement between the two sects which obviously going to benefit Mountain Dew Sect a lot, and a huge amount of alchemy ingredients supplies.

Vee Ramlee felt very satisfied with the outcome. Although a tier-4 Alchemy Formula had to be leaked out in the end, it was still far better than two of them got leaked out.

If Anda wasn't afraid and didn't care about becoming enemies with them by demanding three or four tier-4 Alchemy Formulas from them, they would still have to agree in the end, because that was how important the Mystic Realm spots were.

Thankfully, Anda was a reasonable person and it wouldn't be bad forming good relationships with a genius alchemist like her. He still couldn't believe that a talent like her came from a small sect like that.

"Madam, is it necessary to give them a discount?" Layla asked. She felt like Anda was being way too generous.

"Layla, we can't be too greedy. Although we have the authority to decide the spots right now, in the grand scheme of things, we are still a nobody. If we have bad relationships with them, we might get targeted later." Anda explained her reasoning.

"I see. Forgive me, Madam. I was shortsighted." Layla realized that they needed connections for their family to prosper.

After all, stomping out rising families or organizations was a common occurrence in the world because all the established groups wanted to maintain their monopoly.

Anda smiled mischievously. "We only need to take enough from them so that in the end, they would still have a favorable impression of us and, even better, have close ties."

Leyvi sighed. He shouldn't have questioned Anda. All of her evil schemes were for the benefit of the family.

After the negotiation with the Pill Ascension Sect concluded, they continued with Dirk Dracolia, the Palace Master of the Pill Palace.

Leyvi wondered what kind of cooperative relationship would Anda form with Pill Palace.

"Palace Master, I want four tier-4 Alchemy Formulas, non-negotiable!" Anda went straight to the point and demanded double the initial amount she had been asking.

Eh??? Leyvi and Layla were caught off guard. What happened to forming a connection?

Palace Master Dirk instantly frowned. His veins were popping out of his forehead, but his aura was still restrained. "Are you serious? Isn't that way too much?"

"Is it? Aren't you the one who tried to scam my husband with 50000 middle-grade spirit stones?" Anda retorted.

This person dared to disrespect and look down on her husband. Even a shameless person like Vitali was much better than him.

"Hmph! It was more than enough for people like him." Palace Master Dirk still looked down on Leyvi.

"Palace Master, four tier-4 Alchemy Formulas, or the deal is off. Yes or no?" Anda gave an ultimatum. She didn't want to deal with him any longer.

Dammit! How dare these youngsters treat him like this! He had never met a bunch of small fries bold enough to disrespect him. Are they not afraid of Pill Palace? You want to act arrogant with me just because you are the champion of alchemy competition?

"Do you know who you're messing with?" His voice was full of anger.

"Alright, the negotiation broke down. Let's go." Anda immediately turned around.

Dirk knew he messed up this time, but he really couldn't afford to lose the spots. After all, although Pill Palace was one of the Seven Alchemy Giants, many bigger groups in the South Region would go all out for the Mystic Realm spots.

"Wait! I agree!" Dirk submitted.
