[NIKITA]
Standing in that room next to the man he wanted to deal with in ways more than one, Nikita was his own strongest soldier. It was a battle between his mouth and his brain and surprisingly, his brain was doing pretty well.
He had been watching this man for the past few minutes, trying to think about the goddamn price he had set. Hell, this man could have just told Nikita that he wanted all of the Pavlenko wealth.
Anyway, if this was a game, Mykolajki Pavlenko had unexpectedly chosen to stay alive, for the moment anyway.
"Seven hundred million? What's the guarantee that this virus even works?" Nikita asked disbelievingly. He wasn't really serious about that price, was he? However, Nikita could see how calm the man was when he was making the quotation, like this was all a walk in the park.
If he wanted the money, he would get it, but Nikita wasn't going to show him that. He wasn't going to easily submit, not this time.
