Re-Negotiations

"Ben Faulkner….. what an absolute honor to meet you sir–" Shane said, sweating from head to toe as although he did not mean a single word of what he spoke, he still tried to maintain his composure and be cordial.

"Likewise, merchant" said Ben, as he gave Shane a good slap on his back and a punk-like smirk.

Shane was clearly uncomfortable sitting beside a notorious criminal like Ben, however, unlike Wade who needed several minutes to gather his wits when around Ben, Shane managed to do it relatively quickly while also doing his best to mask his discomfort.

"If you don't mind, can you tell me more about the terms that the Green Jade Merchant Group has offered you? I would like to match them at least…" said Shane, as he decided to ignore the fact that he was seated across Ben Faulkner and resolved to focus purely on the deal instead.
