Hearing Isabella's words, Prince Boateng's expression didn't change at all, but his heart was in turmoil. Isabella's words seemed simple on the surface, as if she was just giving the Boateng Family a gift to show her sincerity. However, in Prince Boateng's eyes, these words contained a lot of information. It was like a thick layer of poison coated with honey. Even if you knew there would be problems after eating it, you would still be tempted by it …
Prince Boateng was silent for two seconds. Just as he was about to say something, he seemed to have sensed something. His brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately took out a blue metal notebook. Looking at the words that appeared on the notebook, Prince Boateng sighed inwardly. Even though he didn't understand how the Secret Society represented by Isabella had found out about the Boateng Family's secret, it was clear that the other party had used their actions to give the answer.
Seeing the constipated expression on Prince Boateng's face, Isabella and Adolf, one old and one young, looked at each other. Both of them could see a hint of joy in each other's eyes.
Putting the blue metallic notebook back into his pocket, Prince Boateng took a deep look at Isabella and said in a low voice, "Since Miss Isabella's gift has already been delivered to our doorstep, wouldn't we be letting down Miss Isabella's good intentions if we refuse?"
"It's just a small gift. We just want to tell your family that cooperating with our Secret Society is definitely the right choice!" Isabella said fearlessly and confidently under Prince Boateng's gaze.
After Isabella finished speaking, Prince Boateng didn't seem to have any intention of dragging things out with Isabella. He said to Isabella expressionlessly, "Hand it over!"
Isabella was slightly taken aback by Prince Boateng's words. She hesitated for a moment, but still didn't understand what Prince Boateng wanted from her. Soon after, she asked in return, "Uncle Prince, what do you want?"
"Miss Isabella, since you've even prepared a gift for us, I'm sure you've prepared the terms of our cooperation!" Prince Boateng said indifferently. Although his voice was flat, there was a hint of mockery in it.
Seeing how straightforward Prince Boateng was, Isabella, who originally wanted to say a few more words and lay her cards on the table, felt a little awkward. However, Isabella was also someone who had seen the big picture. She smiled slightly and dispelled the awkwardness. She said to Prince Boateng, "Our Secret Society has indeed prepared some of our needs and chips for this transaction. As for the terms of our cooperation, I think it's better for us to work together!"
Although Isabella's words were polite, she still took out a piece of paper from her space Ring and handed handed it to Prince Boateng's hand.
After taking the piece of paper from Isabella, Prince Boateng scanned through the content recorded on it. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Isabella and said coldly, "Isn't your secret society's appetite a little too big?"
Isabella, who had the upper hand, wasn't angry at Prince Boateng's anger. She faintly smiled and calmly said, "Uncle Prince, don't get too worked up. This is only our first negotiation, so it's normal for us to have differences. We can slowly discuss it. After all, we aren't doing a one-time deal, we are opening a trade channel from the Khoy Continent to the Kaman Empire, and then to the Odin Empire. Uncle Prince, I think you also need some time to carefully study it. We won't disturb you any longer. You can contact us through Robert when you have an outcome!"
After saying that, Isabella stood up from her chair and bowed to Prince with a smile. Then, she walked out of the reception room with Adolf, leaving Prince Boateng alone in the reception hall with a gloomy face.
After leaving the Agudelo Hotel, Isabella and Adolf sat in their black carriage. Once the black carriage started moving, Isabella sighed and said in a low voice, "Since Prince didn't refuse this gift, it seems that the information is actually true …"
"Indeed, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it either!" Adolf shook his head and said in a deep voice. His aged voice clearly contained a hint of surprise.
Taking a deep breath, Isabella's eyes flickered as she said with certainty, "Since I already have the Boateng Family's weakness in my hands, I'll have to ruthlessly rip them off. Otherwise, I'll be letting down the price we paid for this information!"
Adolf frowned slightly when he sensed the greed in Isabella's words. He reminded her, "With this weakness in our hands, we already have the upper hand in our negotiations with them. However, this trade channel with the Boateng Family is also very important to us!"
Although Adolf didn't say it out loud, Isabella understood what he was trying to say. She immediately said to Adolf, "Teacher Adolf, don't worry. I know how important this channel with the Boateng Family is to the organization. I won't neglect the essentials. I can negotiate with the Boateng Family for other things, but we want at least 30% of the magic stones and magic crystals produced in the Gwadar Magic Mine Ruins. This is also the bottom line that my father told me!" Adolf nodded, "You don't have to worry about that.
"Okay!" After hearing Isabella's words, Adolf finally felt relieved and nodded in relief.
While Adolf and Isabella were secretly discussing in the black carriage, Prince Boateng wasn't idle in the guest room on the top floor of the Agudelo Hotel. Isabella and Adolf, one old and one young, had just left the Agudelo Hotel in a carriage when Prince Boateng disguised himself and sneaked out of the hotel through a secret passage. He hailed a rickshaw on the street and rushed to a certain neighborhood in Flosinone.
More than ten minutes later, the rickshaw driver stopped Prince Boateng's rickshaw at the entrance of Hot Spring Street. Prince Boateng casually tossed the driver a shilling note and hurriedly got out of the rickshaw.
