The man looked straight at Yao Tang and waited for her to make her own offer.
She lowered her gaze and seemed to be considering her options. After a while, she said, "For there to be a negotiation, both parties need to make a request."
Which meant that the man had to name his terms, or there would be no deal at all.
Just like that, the power balance shifted.
The man's eye's widened in shock before he shook his head ruefully.
As expected, he shouldn't underestimate the wit of a young genius.
Despite his age, this boy was nowhere as gullible as most of his peers. He knew what he wanted, and it was clear that he wouldn't settle for anything else.
The man had no choice but to finally reveal his intentions. "I want the blueprint for an S-grade weapon, and attack type one."
"You may only request C-grade and below," Yao Tang said almost instantly.
It was a flat-out rejection that didn't even take a few seconds of thought.
