Chapter 16:- Negotiations

"Negotiation is the art of getting what you want without going to war first." - John F. Kennedy

"Like I said, I want to sell some information on pro heroes, and I want some things in return, so what's it gonna be?" asked Izuku

"What do you want?" asked Giran his mind on overtime thinking about everything as well as using calculated words as one word could ruin him and if he dealt with Izuku properly he could earn millions as given how accurate information Izuku gave about him, he knew one thing for sure, the information Izuku has is very detailed and accurate, and in the underworld, for this level of accurate information people would be willing to give up any amount no matter how absurd, so he didn't want to mess things up.

"Firstly I want to meet one of the big shot villains of the underworld, I want the backing of some big shots of the underworld who are capable of manipulating the country from the shadows.

Secondly, I want a financier and a backer who would help me build my company. I want to be an information broker in the underworld, and I will charge absurd amounts of money for information on pro heroes, the more up in ranking one hero is the more absurd the amount would get.

Since you now know how accurate my information is, you understand my reasoning, and that's the reason I have come to you, Giran, who is one of the most sought out person in the underworld, and if you agree to back me up, I'll give you information at a discounted rate.

Thirdly, I want a place to stay, a person to train me in physical training, stealth as well as in assassination, along with helping me in training my quirk, the equipment I would require to set up my company as well as the combat equipment I would need.

Of Course, I don't want it for free, I'll pay for it but my needs need to be given a top priority.

And lastly, I don't want betrayers, as I don't care why they betray me, if they betray they die, and I won't see who it is. Betrayal won't be taken kindly and will be punishable only by death, and the level of betrayal will determine the severity of how painful death they will get." said Izuku as a murderous glint appeared on his eyes as well as a sadist smirk appeared on his lips, while the air around them turned colder.

Seeing the authority with which Izuku was demanding things as if it was the most natural thing to do, caused Giran to gulp.

He was feeling angry for being treated like this as a kid, it was very insulting, but he decided to ignore them, for he could see mounts of never ending money in front of him, to the point that he could even become the richest person in underworld, and Izuku could make that a reality, that's why he decided to ignore it.

"Aren't you asking too much, there are many people who would kill you just for being cocky, and you are technically asking me to help develop my own competitor.." said Giran.

"Why do you think I came here, I know Giran has contacts, far too many than any other broker in the underworld, and I know you know the exact kinds of people I am asking for, you even have few people in mind already, so you know just the right person whom I wish to meet who wouldn't care about the money a single bit if they can get their hands on this accurate information, especially with the growing peace I know many people want to cause chaos and get rid of the Symbol of Peace All Might.

And you know what, I just got my hands on All Might's true identity and what his quirk is and how it works as well as his weakness and his postal address, with that, I have every information I need or anyone needs, such that even a petty pickpocketing thief can defeat All Might and that too with ease.

Of course, that information is very exclusive and the most costly one, I don't think I would be surprised if I get the ownership of Japan just for All Might's info, that's the kind of information I have on him, now the choice is yours, I'm sure with such information my demands might seem like a child asking toffee." said Izuku as he took control of the situation as well as proved that he was far more valuable to be kept alive as well as proved how in demand he can get.

Listening to the things about All Might, Giran's eyes were wide open and if not for being attached in the eye socket they might have actually come out.

He knew AFO would throw money like nothing for such information, If he gets that kind of information then he could become the most demanded broker, plus he knew how much people would give blind money just to know his real identity.

In the eyes of Giran, Izuku had become the golden goose, a being far too valuable to be given to anyone and all of a sudden all of his demands started looking not too big and reasonable as well.

Giran had a huge smile on his face as he said, "Okay, I will make sure all your demands are fulfilled, and you can stay with me for today. Tomorrow I'll take you to one of the big shots of the underworld who fulfils all the checkboxes you want.

He will also take care of everything you need now and in the future, but let me tell you one thing, just like you he doesn't take betrayal nicely, just keep that in mind and we will be good to go, I'll let them know about you accompanying me tomorrow." Said Giran as he stood up from his sofa and went towards the phone across the room.

"Good, make sure to let them know the status quo, that is I won't be working under them or for them, I will be master of my own thing, and our relationship will be of give and take, I will give them information, accurate information and in return they'll provide me with things and pieces of equipment I need, are we clear?" Said Izuku as he made sure to tell what kind of relationship it was going to be so that there wouldn't be a headache in the future.

Giran nodded happily as he picked up the phone and dialed a number and talked to the person on the other side of the phone.

After a while, Giran came to Izuku and said, "Our appointment is fixed for tomorrow, I'll make your acquaintance to one of the big shots of the underworld."

"Ohh by the way I forgot to ask you one thing," said Giran as he remembered something.

"What?" asked Izuku.

"What is your name, I never asked you your name," said Giran.

"Ohhh, My name is...
