In addition, in Prince Boateng's eyes, these 100 pieces of Crosia Fire Corals were a test from the Secret Society. The Secret Society had always been known for their ability to gather information. Since they chose to give the Crosia Fire Corals instead of other gifts, it was obvious that they had heard some rumors about Cabio Boateng being poisoned by Tyro magic poison.
However, the Secret Society probably felt that the matter of Cabio Boateng of the Boateng Family being poisoned by the Tyro Magic Poison was too serious. They weren't sure if the rumors they heard were accurate. Therefore, they used the 100 Crosia Fire Corals as a test.
If Prince Boateng accepted this gift, it would mean that the matter of Cabio Boateng being poisoned by the Tylon Magic Poison was true. Then, without a doubt, the Secret Society would have a hold on the Boateng Family's weakness. In the following negotiations, the Boateng Family would naturally be in a passive position and be controlled by the Secret Society.
If Prince Boateng chose to reject this gift, although he could prevent the Secret Society from having something on him, the day when Cabio Boateng would be cured of the Tyro magic poison and recover his strength would be far away!
Most importantly, Cabio Boateng had already been tormented by the Tylot Magic Poison for three years, and his vitality had already been greatly damaged. If he continued to be tormented by the Tylot Magic Poison, even if the Boateng Clan gathered enough Crosia Fire Corals to refine an antidote for him in a few years, it was still unknown whether Cabio Boateng would be able to recover his strength, and how much of it he would be able to recover was still an unknown.
When Prince Boateng heard Isabella say that she was going to give the Boateng Family 100 pieces of Crosia Fire Coral as a gift, he knew that she was just testing him. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of rejecting on the surface and then secretly snatching the items. However, after thinking about it carefully for more than ten seconds, he gave up on that idea.
This was because Isabella would definitely think of the Boateng Family as long as someone wanted to snatch the Crosia Fire Corals, regardless of whether it was under the banner of the Boateng Family or not. This was equivalent to taking off one's pants to fart. It was completely unnecessary and meaningless. Furthermore, it was very risky to do so. Once the Boateng Family failed to snatch the Crosia Fire Corals, they might even anger the Secret Society. By then, the Secret Society might spread the news and the Boateng Family would be in deep trouble!
Although Prince Boateng was enraged by Isabella's move, he understood that this was a blatant scheme. Even if he knew the other party's goal, he had no choice but to walk into the other party's trap.
On the other hand, Prince Boateng had chosen to accept the 100 pieces of Crosia Fire Corals and accept the fact that he was at a disadvantage in the negotiation. This was a decision he had made after Isabella's overt scheme.
Although the negotiation with the Secret Society was very important to the Boateng Family, making such a choice would cause the Boateng Family to lose a lot of benefits in the negotiation with the Secret Society.
However, if he accepted the 100 pieces of Crosia Fire Corals, in addition to the 80 pieces of Crosia Fire Corals that he had previously collected, and worked hard for half a year to collect 20 pieces of Crosia Fire Corals, he would reach the amount that Mox had mentioned. This also meant that Cabio Boateng would be able to completely get rid of the Tylon Poison and recover his health!
As long as Cabio Boateng could recover his health, the Boateng Family wouldn't have to hide the fact that their patriarch was affected by the Tylon Poison and couldn't display much of his strength. Accepting the 100 pieces of Crosia Fire Corals was equivalent to removing a bomb that could explode at any time for the Boateng Family.
Thinking of this, Prince Boateng's gaze gradually became resolute. As the representative of the Boateng Family in this negotiation with the Secret Society, if they lost too many benefits in the negotiation, even if there was a reason for it, the family would definitely make him take the blame in order to appease the anger within the family. But even so, Prince Boateng wouldn't have made the choice he had in the reception room of the Agudroda Hotel. Whether it was as Cabio Boateng's younger brother from the same father and mother, or as a core member of the Boateng Family, he had to bear the responsibility.
Prince Boateng took out a very ancient-looking silver-white mirror from his spatial ring before cutting his finger. Using his blood as ink and his finger as a pen, he solemnly wrote an Odin rune on the surface of the silver-white mirror.
A minute later, when Prince Boateng finished writing the rune with his blood, the silver-white mirror suddenly shone with a dazzling silver-white radiance. A dozen seconds later, the silver-white radiance dissipated and a very old middle-aged man appeared on the surface of the mirror. But if one looked carefully, they would find that he looked very similar to Prince Boateng.
This person was undoubtedly Prince Boateng's younger brother from the same father and mother, the current patriarch of the Boateng Family — Cabio Boateng!
"Prince, is there something urgent you need me for?" Cabio Boateng calmly asked as he looked at his younger brother. Although his voice was calm, it couldn't hide the exhaustion in his voice.
Hearing the exhaustion in his elder brother's voice and recalling that it was a full moon night in West Ham City, which was located in the southern part of the Odin Empire, Prince Boateng immediately understood that Cabio Boateng must have been tormented by the Tylon Magic Poison. He frowned and didn't waste any words. "Isabella gave me a hundred Crosia Fire Corals as a gift, I already accepted it!"
When Cabio Boateng heard the name of the Crosia Fire Corals, and a hundred of them at that, a flash of light appeared in his eyes. However, as the head of the Boateng Family, Cabio Boateng was still very shrewd. Even though he was being tortured by the Tylon Magic Poison, he wasn't in a hurry to ask where the corals were.
Instead, he pondered for a moment and maintained a calm tone as he said to Prince Boateng, "You shouldn't have made a decision on your own. This matter should have been submitted to the Elder Council to make a decision!"
"Hmpf!"
Hearing his elder brother's words, Prince Boateng coldly snorted. He looked at his elder brother in the mirror and sneered, "Cabio, others might not know about your current condition, but how could I not know?"
