Chapter 13163 OK, deal done

"Please believe that our Bada Trading Company has always been operating with integrity and will never deliberately mislead customers."

The beautiful woman's words sounded full of sincerity and apology, trying to resolve Ling Xiao's dissatisfaction.

However, Ling Xiao's expression did not ease at all. He still frowned and said in a firm tone: "I understand the preciousness of rare medicinal materials, but the price should also be reasonable. At most, I can only accept a price of 40 million for one plant. I hope the shopkeeper can understand that I am not deliberately making things difficult, but I just don't want to be taken advantage of."

The beautiful woman looked a little embarrassed when she heard this. She knew that the price Ling Xiao proposed was close to their bottom price, but due to the rules and interests of the trading company, she had to stick to the principle.

"Sir, we understand your request, but the Soul-breaking Grass that is more than 500 years old is too precious, and the price of 40 million is really unacceptable to us."

Ling Xiao's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip, and his deep eyes flashed with unquestionable determination. He pursed his lips tightly, and a sense of oppression emanated from his body. Obviously, he was determined to get the Soul-Breaking Grass that was more than 500 years old today.

If the other party really intended to use the scarcity of rare medicinal materials to blackmail him, then he would never sit still and wait for death. He would not easily give even a penny, and would not allow himself to become a lamb to be slaughtered.

"Today, I, Ling Xiao, will take the Soul-Breaking Grass." His words were as cold as ice, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with unquestionable firmness, "Since you can't accept 40 million, then 30 million, this is the highest price I can give. Will you give it or not?" His eyes were like torches, staring directly at the beautiful woman, as if he wanted to penetrate her disguise and look directly into her heart.

The beautiful woman was shocked by his momentum and took a step back involuntarily, with a trace of panic in her eyes. She obviously did not expect Ling Xiao to be so tough, and she did not expect him to directly cut the price back to the 30 million mentioned by the maid at the beginning.

I originally wanted to make some money from Ling Xiao, but I didn't expect that I would end up making things worse.

"Sir, you are..." The beautiful woman's voice trembled slightly. She tried to use words to ease the atmosphere, but she was interrupted by Ling Xiao before she finished speaking.

Ling Xiao's eyes were as sharp as ice, coldly penetrating the beautiful woman's disguise and reaching her heart. "Don't play dumb with me. Do you think I didn't do enough homework before buying the Soul-breaking Grass?" His voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the beautiful woman's heart.

He continued, "Soul-breaking Grass, although this herb is rare, it has limited uses. The price in the market has always been stable, far less than the huge 30 million you are reporting now. If I didn't need this thing urgently, how could I be entangled with you like this?"

After speaking, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with a trace of anger, which was dissatisfaction and indignation with the greed and deception of merchants.

"You dare to ask for 50 million yuan. Do you really think that I, Ling Xiao, am a soft persimmon that is easy to bully?" His tone revealed an unquestionable toughness, as if he was ready to defend his rights at any time.

The beautiful woman's face changed slightly when she heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of vigilance and hostility flashed in her eyes. In a moment, her hand in her sleeve had quietly grasped a delicate short blade, which was the weapon she used to protect herself when necessary as the shopkeeper of the business. This subtle movement did not escape Ling Xiao's keen perception.

"Why, are you still planning to take action?" Ling Xiao sneered, and there was both sarcasm and disdain in his voice. He didn't expect that he had not yet intended to take tough measures, but the other party had already planned to take action.

At this moment, his impression of Bada Business became even worse, thinking that the people here were all greedy and unruly.

"In the martial arts world, strength should speak for itself and integrity should be the basis. I didn't expect that your Bada Trading Company would have such a style of doing things. If the business fails, you have to resort to force. It's really eye-opening." Ling Xiao's words were full of irony and disappointment. He knew that such a deal, even if it was barely reached, would definitely not be pleasant.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the VIP room became extremely tense, as if a tight string could break at any time. The confrontation between Ling Xiao and the beautiful woman was not just about the deal of the Soul-breaking Grass, but also a silent contest between justice and greed, integrity and deception in the martial arts world.

Ling Xiao's mouth curled up a sneer, which was a complex emotion mixed with disdain and ridicule. He thought to himself that he had not made any radical moves, but the other party had already shown the intention to take action. The people of Bada Trading Company were indeed as rumored by the outside world, with the same style of behavior, greedy and unruly.

"If the business fails, do you want to rob?" Ling Xiao's words were cold, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see into the darkest corners of people's hearts.

Facing Ling Xiao's questioning, the beautiful woman's face flashed an unnatural look, but she soon returned to normal. After a moment of silence, she seemed to have made some kind of decision.

At this moment, her right ear trembled slightly, as if she had received some secret signal, and then she quickly adjusted her expression and put on a warm smile.

"Your Excellency really misunderstood. Our Bada Commercial Bank has been established in the martial arts world for many years and has always been based on integrity. How could we do such a black-hearted thing?" The beautiful woman's voice was soft and magnetic, and her words were full of sincerity, as if the previous conflict had never happened.

After that, she gently waved her right hand, her movements were graceful and calm, as if she was performing a carefully choreographed performance. As she moved, an exquisite square box suddenly appeared in front of Ling Xiao. The box was made of unknown wood, and the surface emitted a faint fluorescence, which looked both mysterious and noble.

Ling Xiao's eyes fixed, and although he was puzzled, he still reached out to take the box. He gently opened the lid of the box, and saw two soul-breaking grasses lying side by side inside. Each of them exuded a faint fragrance, the leaves were emerald green, and the roots showed a deep purple color. Obviously, they were all extremely old treasures.

"All of them are soul-breaking grasses that are more than 500 years old!" Ling Xiao couldn't help but secretly exclaimed in his heart. Such an age is extremely rare in the martial arts world.

Ling Xiao nodded slightly to show his approval of the transaction. Then, he flicked his finger lightly, and his fingertips seemed to gather the faint light in the air. A storage ring shining with a faint spiritual aura slowly floated towards the beautiful woman. The ring contained 60 million top-grade spiritual stones, which were priceless and enough to demonstrate his sincerity and strength.

The beautiful woman's eyes moved slightly, and she quickly glanced at the storage ring. After confirming that it was correct, she turned her wrist, and another exquisite storage ring appeared in her palm. With a light stroke, the spiritual stones were sucked into her storage space like flowing water.
