For countless nights, he had been tossing and turning between reality and dreams. Her face and voice would often appear in his mind, and he would always think of the time when she left without saying goodbye. Countless emotions intertwined together, and now that he saw her again, he felt a little like running away.
Fei Yujing stood among a group of Bai family members, like the moon surrounded by stars, and was particularly eye-catching.
She was wearing a white dress, elegant and luxurious, like a fairy who had walked out of a painting, otherworldly.
After not seeing her for three months, Fei Yujing's temperament had become even better. A young girl in puberty was growing and changing every minute and every second. At this time, she had already shed the naivety she had in Hou City and was gradually changing into the powerful businesswoman in Li Xiang's memory.
"How is it? Are you surprised? Are you surprised?" Maria looked at his expression with interest. When she saw that Fei Yujing's name was among the people from the Bai family who came to mediate, she immediately thought of Li Xiang.
When she first saw this name, Maria was also shocked.
This was a negotiation that concerned the life and death of her son, and Bai Yulou actually brought a girl with a different surname. It could be seen that Fei Yujing's status in the sixteenth branch family was not lower than the outstanding children of the family, or even higher.
To be able to operate to such a degree in just three months, the Fei family was really not simple.
At this moment, Li Xiang's mind was filled with thoughts of whether he should go out, whether he should meet with her and tell her about his departure. Would she hate him and not want to see him again?
After hesitating for a moment, he still could not make up his mind.
Now was not the best time to meet with her.
"The negotiation has begun. Learn well." Maria patted his shoulder and saw the determination in his eyes. As expected, this young man was not as simple as he looked on the surface.
The tiger in the heart sniffs the rose.
This was the truest portrayal of him.
If he were to rush out at this moment, Maria would immediately destroy the contract that they had just signed. She considered all aspects of the experiment personnel carefully, which was why the laboratory was always short of manpower. However, every Mechanic who walked out of the laboratory was able to take charge of a task on their own.
To a Mechanic, skill was important, but temperament was even more important.
Outside the transparent glass wall, the two parties sat down and the negotiation officially began.
Before coming here, Bai Yulou had already inquired about Nick. He didn't expect Wessex to send such a person to negotiate with him. This was the rhythm of wanting to slaughter the sixteen families.
"Captain Nick, let's make this short. My unfilial son has been idling around all day. Although he has joined the Machinery Church, he is only an external member that is not worth mentioning. He does not have the ability to threaten Aokiji 2-7. Isn't it too much to send him to the magic arbitration tribunal for the crime of collusion?" Bai Yulou went straight to the point. His aura was as vast as the sea. When he spoke, his voice was loud and clear, causing the surrounding people to be unable to breathe.
Nick snorted coldly. He was facing an extremely experienced player, but he didn't show any respect.
"Councilor Bai means that you don't want to talk anymore, right? In that case, let's go. "Nick simply got up and motioned for the staff to escort Bai Jiaqi away.
Bai Yulou's eyes were wide open. His terrifying aura suddenly pressed down, forcing the group of people to be unable to leave the room. Nick snorted and sat back down on the sofa.
It was not that he didn't want to leave, but that he couldn't. That aura made him unable to breathe. Even though he was a level 3 Magician, when he really faced a player, he realized that the difference between him and a baby was immeasurable!
"Captain Nick, you better not use your little tricks in front of me. Today, whether you agree or not, I will take my son away. If you insist on stopping me, I promise that in Aokiji 2-7, none of your people will be able to see the sun tomorrow! "Bai Yulou stared into his eyes and directly threatened.
This was the confidence of having absolute strength.
Bai Yulou was an experienced player and also a councilor of the Bai Family's branch family. Nick couldn't compare to him in terms of strength, identity, and status. Even if he destroyed the entire Aokiji 2-7, the Bai Family would forcefully protect him.
This just confirmed Maria's words before. The game between the higher-ups was only about benefits and no feelings.
Bai Yulou was overbearing and unreasonable. This was the confidence of a player. All of Nick's calculations were shattered after hearing his words. To reason with a player, one had to at least be a player.
After that, the situation of the negotiation was completely taken over by Bai Yulou. Even someone as overbearing as Nick could only let it go. He didn't think that he would really have a conflict with Bai Yulou. Wessex would offend a Bai Family player for a patrol captain.
"Since Captain Nick has no objections, then I'll let my niece-in-law talk to you about the compensation." Bai Yulou waved his hand, and Fei Yujing, who had been standing motionless at the back, stepped forward.
A fragrant wind blew into his nose. Nick was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Wasn't the girl sitting in front of him the genius girl who was the talk of the town in Keihoku University today? She had opened the gate before even entering the school. She came from a small family that relied on the sixteen branch families. Both father and daughter were giants among men and were deeply loved by the current head of the sixteen branch families.
It didn't matter who her future husband was. As long as she grew up smoothly, she might be bestowed with the Bai Family name. In the future, she would have the qualifications to enter the Bai Family's ancestral hall and be worshipped by the future generations.
Her name would also be recorded in the family tree.
This was a treatment that countless people could only dream of.
But Nick still didn't expect that Bai Yulou would bring her here and let her negotiate with him.
Was he using him as a whetstone?
Nick's eyes flashed with killing intent. He didn't know why, but when he saw her, he was reminded of his first love who had been killed by him. A restlessness that he hadn't felt in a long time rose in his heart.
"Hello, Captain Nick. This is my first negotiation. If there is anything wrong, please advise me and forgive me. " Fei Yujing smiled sweetly. Her voice was sweet and her appearance was pure. People who saw her for the first time wouldn't be able to imagine that she was actually an extremely crazy person.
In the later stages of her previous life, she became more and more violent. It was probably because of her early experiences. In order to save her family, she accumulated too much resentment and her personality slowly became distorted.
But now, she still had an appearance that didn't reveal her talent. She displayed her most innocent appearance in front of everyone.
Bai Yulou was very satisfied with this niece-in-law. If it wasn't for his excellent relationship with Bai Ge, he would have snatched her and made her his good-for-nothing son's wife.
Thinking of his son, Bai Yulou glanced at Bai Jiaqi who was squatting in the corner. If it was in the past, he would have been crying and making a fuss. How could he be so calm now? Could it be that he was scared silly?
On the other side, Fei Yujing skillfully began to bargain with Nick. She didn't look like a newbie at all. The most excessive thing was that every time she deliberately made a "mistake", she would use her previous words of hope that Nick would be more forgiving. Otherwise, she would casually act cute so that he couldn't flare up.
The layman enjoyed the show, while the expert appreciated the skill.
Fei Yujing's negotiation skills had been trained to the point of perfection. She was also very good at using her status as a woman and a junior. Nick felt as if he was punching cotton. He couldn't exert any strength at all.
"Miss Fei, I'm afraid your compensation is not appropriate." Nick could only use this method to reject her. What kind of joke was this? It was less than half of what he had expected. Did she think he was an idiot?
"It's not too little, Captain Nick. Speaking of which, my cousin didn't do anything wrong … "Fei Yujing was neither servile nor overbearing. She once again used her silver tongue to scare Nick until he was dizzy.
"We will also add on the compensation for all the competitors. All the competitors who were captured by the Machinery Church to draw a Star Atlas will receive 100 standard tubes of Origin Form gas each."
There were a total of 18 people who were captured. That was 1800 standard tubes of Origin Form gas and 180 million Blue Star Credits in addition to the 500 million Blue Star Credits compensation from before for the matter with Bai Jiaqi. 680 million Blue Star Credits was Nick's bottom line.
Seeing Nick's hesitant expression, Fei Yujing smiled faintly and continued her offensive.
Seeing his first love's familiarity on the negotiation table, Li Xiang was stupefied. How could she have grown so much in just three short months in City 0001?
This actually made Li Xiang feel even more pressured. His encounters in the past three months were indeed extraordinary. However, if he relaxed, let alone his sister, even Fei Yujing would gradually leave him.
"What an impressive little girl. Nick is muscular but simple-minded. She has indeed seen through his weakness." Maria couldn't help but sigh in admiration. If not for Fei Yujing's mediocre talent in machinery, she would have taken her into her laboratory.
"Yes, on the surface, this 180 million Blue Star Credits will help Wessex save money. However, after this, all she has to do is publicize it a little. The people who will be grateful will naturally be the Bai family, not the Sky Arena. Spending 180 million Blue Star Credits to befriend a group of good descendants for the sixteenth branch family is a profitable business. "Li Xiang nodded in agreement.
The negotiation was coming to an end. He didn't want to continue watching, nor did he want to see her.
Seeing Li Xiang's intentions, Maria quietly led him out of the special room.
After Li Xiang left, Fei Yujing felt her heart suddenly become empty. It was as if something important was right in front of her, but she had missed it.
On the other side, she successfully completed the negotiation with Nick. She saved her disappointing cousin at a loss of less than one billion Blue Star Credits.
After Nick left, she smiled as she walked towards Bai Jiaqi and untied her handcuffs and ankles. Looking at his bruised and swollen face, he seemed to have suffered a lot. However, he didn't seem to be the same as what the report said. This cousin didn't have the domineering aura of a rich second generation.
"Cousin Jiaqi, I'm late. Are you alright?"
Facing any member of the Bai family, Fei Yujing would always put herself in a very humble position. Fei Zilan was even more so. This kind of humble attitude won the goodwill of many members of the Bai family. This was something her father had taught her.
However, at this moment, Bai Jiaqi's gaze was a bit strange. It wasn't lust, but rather fear?
