After a short verbal confrontation, Yaj did not see the slightest trace of panic from the black-haired young man who still had the word 'slave' in most of the countries in the Green Leaf Mainland. His facial features were plain but had an indescribable expression so she did not continue to exert pressure on him.
Instead, she whispered to the accompanying warriors, "Guard outside the door." She gently fanned herself and walked into the hotel room elegantly. Sitting directly on the round chair in the middle of the living room, she lifted her veil and revealed her extremely beautiful face. At once, it gave off an illusion that the entire room had brightened up.
The girls who had an intimate relationship with Zhang Lisheng, be it his official girlfriend Tina, his secret lover Maddie, or his Taboo Love, Trish, all of their figures were above average. However, what was more attractive was their different temperament. However, the appearance of this woman in front of him could make a man ignore everything else.
"She has the same beauty as Helen? Or should I say, a beauty that can bring disaster to a country …" Even though Zhang Lisheng had already become a god, he was still dazed for a moment before blurting out in a whisper.
"What are you talking about, Sir Lisheng?" Yaj, who had long been accustomed to men being conquered by her appearance, asked with a smile.
"The ancient legend of my hometown." The young man strolled to the woman and sat down opposite her. Shifting his gaze slightly, he replied, "A mediocre and greedy monarch lost his country because he coveted a peerless beauty."
"There's such a legend? Can you tell me about it?" Yaj asked with great interest. The charm brought by the faint arc that appeared at the corner of her mouth was like a scimitar that could cut through iron like mud, enough to cut open the heart of the most determined warrior. Unfortunately, it did not seem to have any effect on Zhang Lisheng.
"It's just some boring stories. There's nothing worth talking about." The young man shook his head and stared into the woman's eyes. "Let's get down to business.
Madam Yaj, I believe you know that Mr. Vitas, who was fed by your Golden Velvet Flower Trading, had once reached an agreement with me. He introduced me to the tribal chief from the Nutao Sea while I helped him obtain the trading rights of the Scorpion Island Wizard Li tribe.
I, on the other hand, helped him obtain the trading rights of the Scorpion Island Wizard Li tribe. Now that he's dead, I wonder if this agreement is still valid? "
"Sir, the close relationship with the Nutao Sea barbarian tribe is one of the biggest business secrets of the Golden Velvet Flower Trading …"
"Sorry, I don't want to hear any excuses. I just want to know if the agreement is still valid."
"Sir Lisheng, things are not as simple as you think. This is not like cutting open the stomach of a pitiful beast and taking the liver for research but taking the heart …"
"Madam Yaj, the lifelong pursuit of many scholars is to solve complex problems with simple methods. I'm one of them." In the face of Yaj's repeated evasions, Zhang Lisheng asked for the third time with a blank expression. "Be it the threat just now or the evasions now, none of them will work on me.
Let me ask you one last time. Does the Golden Velvet Flower Trading still want to fulfill the agreement between me and Mr. Vitas? "
"Sir, it's not only the Nutao Sea that has rare animals. In fact, there are many primitive jungles in the Green Leaf Mainland, there's …" Yaj tried to make a final effort but the young man stood up silently and walked to the door of the guest room. Opening the door, he gestured for her to leave.
Being repeatedly pressed by Zhang Lisheng mercilessly, Yaj's expression also turned cold. She put away her fan with a 'snap' and looked at the young man silently. What she saw was determination.
After a moment of silence, the woman finally compromised. Without warning, she put down her veil and stood up before saying coldly, "Sir, tomorrow, no, this afternoon, you'll be able to see the noble from the Nutao Sea.
Remember, whether you can persuade him to bring you to the most powerful island in the Hellfire Sea to kill animals or not, you must still hand over the trading right of the native tribe called Wizard Li to the Golden Velvet Flower Trading. "
"Deal, Madam Yaj." Zhang Lisheng had achieved his goal so he smiled and replied.
"Come with me." He did not get the exclusive trading rights.
Not only did he obtain the exclusive trading right, but he also did not kill two birds with one stone by oppressing and tempting the opponent to directly reveal the information of Scorpion Island. Not only would he obtain the trading right, but he would also complete the wish of the barbarian noble from the Nutao Sea. Yaj no longer wanted to talk nonsense with the young man. After saying these words, she quickly walked out of the hotel room.
Since the woman had agreed to Zhang Lisheng's request, the situation had been reversed. In the face of the cold-faced young man, she could only shrug noncommittally and endure it.
He followed behind Yaj and walked down the stairs. When he arrived at the entrance of the Raphanus Hotel, he found that the girl had already briskly sat in a luxurious four-wheeled carriage that was three to four times bigger than the rental carriage. She only instructed the maid to give an address before she left.
"Miss, we should have lured that arrogant guy to the manor from the beginning and 'negotiated' with him. It's a good thing that it's not too late now …" In each of their carriages, Yaj's personal maid saw that she was still unhappy so she said in a self-righteous manner.
"Mairina, in a public place like the famous Green Vine Hotel in the city-state, suppressing the opponent with words and imposing manner to achieve one's own purpose and coercing the opponent to compromise in a private manor are two completely different concepts. One is praiseworthy while the other is spurned. I'm a merchant, an aristocrat, not a thief …"
"But who would know about this, Miss?"
"In a city-state that is born on the basis of interests, what kind of matter involving huge wealth can be completely kept secret?" Yaj shook her head. "Don't say anymore, Mairina. Even if I fall into a disadvantageous position this time, I'll still make a comeback with interest sooner or later. I'll just let that Sir Zhang Lisheng be proud for a few days first."
Even though in Kattaman, which was established on the basis of commerce, most of the rich and nobles at the top of the society were interested in material benefits and did not pay too much attention to the hierarchy, the personal maid had grown up with her master.
As personal maids had grown up together with their masters, they had a sisterly relationship with each other. However, when Mairina saw the anger hidden under Yaj's calm demeanor, she didn't dare to say anything more and shut her mouth obediently.
However, as the carriage gradually accelerated on the stone road and drove out of the towering and spectacular city gate of the Sea Haines City to the suburbs, the rash maid gradually relaxed. Inadvertently, she saw a rental carriage following closely behind them from the back window so she blurted out, "Miss, I'm afraid that guy has been following behind us. Actually, I admire him a little for being able to resist your beauty.
Other than Sir Camano, Angela, and a few others, there are very few men who can do this. "
"Mairina, he's different from Camano. Just by looking at his evasive eyes, you can tell that he's just suppressing the desire in his heart. This is very similar to Angela and Hadley … Hmph!
He's also a stubborn, conceited, and a little smart guy … "Yaj, who was filled with disgust at being defeated by her opponent in the simplest way in a battle of words, snorted coldly.
When she was speaking, the luxurious carriage that she was sitting in turned into a diagonal road from the suburban road and drove to an extraordinary manor in the distance.
On the open dark golden copper fence gate, there were exquisite columns and beams embossed with the mythical story of the God of Agriculture teaching breeding and farming to the mainlanders in ancient times.
Along the gate, there was a stone road that was as smooth as a mirror that could accommodate at least six carriages side by side.
In the middle of the road, there was a lifelike sculpture of a seafaring merchant sailing a ship that was at least five meters tall. The pedestal of the sculpture divided the road into two sides.
After bypassing the sculpture, there was a huge mansion that occupied an astonishing area at the end of the stone road, surrounded by clusters of beautifully built shrubs.
The beautiful scenery of the manor was picturesque, but when one looked carefully, one would notice that the endless green farmland in the distance and the livestock sheds that could be faintly seen in the fields looked a little strange.
At the instant when the luxurious carriage was about to enter this seemingly rich but strange manor, the two warriors sitting with the coachman suddenly shouted at the guards, "Let the rental carriage at the back go!"
This roar stunned the rental coachman who had been following behind. However, it also gave him the courage to continue to move forward and barge into the rich manor in front of him to broaden his knowledge and add a lot of topics to talk about when he was bored.
Until the carriage passed by the fountain and slowly stopped in front of the manor, the joy on the face of this little person who was holding the reins tightly did not fade away. Using a tone that was much more respectful than when Zhang Lisheng got on the carriage, he shouted at the young man in the carriage, "Master, we've arrived."
"Thank you." The young man, who had long seen the carriage entering a huge manor through the window, jumped out of the carriage and casually thanked him. Then, he took out a piece of gold that was the size of a pinky nail and tossed it to the coachman.
The rental coachman was stunned for a moment before taking a bite of the gold in his hand. When he saw the teeth marks appearing on it, an ecstatic expression appeared on his face. Excitedly, he snapped back to reality and wanted to thank him, but the coachman saw that Zhang Lisheng had already entered the manor with Yaj.
The moment they entered the door, Yaj took off the round hat with a veil and handed it to Mairina. At the same time, a middle-aged butler who was followed by two young and beautiful maids came up to them and bowed respectfully. "You're back, Miss Yaj."
"I'm back. Everything is going well," Yaj covered it up and said. Then, she asked, "Butler Sakni, what's Leader Lumoluki doing?"
"Sir Lumoluki has just finished his lunch and is resting now." The butler, who had a slender figure and a beautiful mustache, glanced at the black-haired young man by the side unnoticeably. Gently, he stomped his feet and replied respectfully.
"Is it convenient to disturb him now?"
"I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a while."
"Did you hear that, Sir Lisheng? I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a while." Yaj swept away the indifference that she had shown at the last moment in the Raphanus Hotel and smiled at Zhang Lisheng.
Looking at the woman's beautiful smile, the young man secretly cursed the fickleness of the Kattaman merchant but said nonchalantly, "It's alright, I can wait."
Upon hearing Zhang Lisheng's words, Yaj nodded and instructed the butler, "Butler Sakni, go to the garden to prepare some refreshments. We'll wait there."
"Yes, Miss Yaj." The butler retreated respectfully. The maids behind him, on the other hand, guided Yaj and Zhang Lisheng through the back door of the manor and came to a garden surrounded by dense vines.
