Chapter 1696: Chapter 613: Eating from Both Ends _2
Sullivan’s eyes widened, and he sneered, “Do you really have a kind heart? Tell your demands first.”
Owen Bertram nodded with a smile, “Since I am offering such a great rit, I need to receive so rewards in return. It depends on what Your Excellency can offer for the exchange.”
Sullivan’s heart was struggling. His first reaction was that Owen was trying to deceive him again, but he really needed this rit. His performance in front of Master Burgess had been terrible lately, and he desperately needed a great rit to make a coback. Otherwise, not only would he be constantly suppressed by Owen Bertram, but if he encountered other spokespersons in the future, Master Burgess might replace him with just a word from Owen Bertram.
After much thought, Sullivan decided to take a risk: “Fine, I have so treasures. Take a look.” Sullivan opened up his Mini-world and took out several Tire-8 and Tire-9 Treasure Materials, as well as two Tire-9 Magical Instrunts for Owen Bertram to choose from. He explicitly stated, “You can only choose two!”
Owen Bertram glanced at them and waved his hand, “Your Excellency lacks sincerity. Never mind, let’s just pretend I never said anything about this and call off the deal.”
Sullivan anxiously asked, “You’re not satisfied with these treasures?!”
Owen Bertram sneered, “Neither you nor I are ordinary cultivators. High ranks don’t an high value. Keep these worthless items for fooling cultivators below the Seventh Realm.”
Sullivan’s face turned red not because Owen Bertram had “exposed” his intentions, but because he genuinely believed that the higher the rank, the better. That’s why he took out the Tire-9 treasures with such sincerity!
Feeling insecure after Owen Bertram’s comnt about the value of high ranks, Sullivan racked his brains, trying to think of other treasures that could impress Owen Bertram. Suddenly, he had an idea: “I’ve bled for this! If I give you this treasure, you must cooperate fully with . Otherwise, even if I fight with you to the death and get punished by Master Burgess, I will definitely drag you down with !”
Owen Bertram revealed a doubtful expression, “I’m seriously doubting if you really have any valuable treasures.”
“Open your dog’s eyes and see!” Sullivan took out an item, and Owen Bertram thought he was seeing things. After triple-checking, Owen Bertram finally showed a solemn expression: it was a broken Immortal Pivot Device!
Although it was damaged, it was genuinely a set!
Sullivan’s face was full of triumph, “How about that? Do you dare to continue looking down upon your senior?” Owen Bertram wouldn’t argue with Sullivan like a greenhorn. Since he gained a huge benefit from this treasure, he didn’t mind letting Sullivan gloat. He imdiately admitted, “It’s my own shortsightedness that underestimated my senior. This treasure is enough. I promise to cooperate with you for our mutual benefit in front of Master Burgess.”
“Hahaha!” Sullivan laughed heartily. It was his happiest mont since he t Owen Bertram.
Owen Bertram pocketed the Immortal Pivot Device set and explained his thod of finding the hiding Terrestrial Gods to Sullivan: Use the Divine Soul or artifacts to sense and attract the deities to lure them out from hiding! Of course, he didn’t say that he had already killed a Terrestrial God using this thod but instead claid that it was his educated guess, with at least a 70% chance of success.
However, Sullivan had no confidence in this thod and stared at Owen Bertram suspiciously, “Are you trying to deceive again? Your thod is just a guess, but you’re selling it to at a high price. After I suggest it to Master Burgess and it fails, he will bla . Either way, you won’t lose anything!”
The Little Princess almost laughed out loud: her brother was so cunning! In one business deal, he got an Immortal Artifact from Master Burgess and sold the thod to Sullivan at a high price.
Owen Bertram refuted in a righteous manner, “If you don’t believe , I can go to Master Burgess myself. However, I won’t refund any money! At most… after the task is completed and Master Burgess rewards , I’ll share 30% with you.”
Sullivan was fuming with rage. Did Owen’s ancestors run a black market? He gritted his teeth and threatened, “Do you really think I’m as soft as a persimmon, to be shaped and played with at your whim? Hand over the Immortal Pivot Device right now, or I’ll kill you!”
Owen Bertram refused to give in, “Fine, I’ll share 40% with you.”
“Hand it over!”
Owen Bertram reluctantly took out the Immortal Pivot Device and warned, “This is your own choice. Don’t co to regret it later.”
Sullivan snatched it away, and Owen Bertram snorted, “Contact Master Burgess quickly.”
Sullivan hesitated, “Are you sure your thod works?” Owen Bertram coldly replied, “It’s none of your concern.” Sullivan hesitated, dilly-dallied… it didn’t seem like he was being deceived. This was a great rit!
Overwheld by his greed, Sullivan couldn’t resist anymore. Biting his teeth, he threw the Immortal Pivot Device back to Owen Bertram, “If you’re deceiving , the consequences will be unbearable for you!”
Owen Bertram returned the Immortal Pivot Device, “There’s no need. By offering this proposal, I intended to improve our relationship for smoother cooperation in the future. If you continue to hesitate, I will just take it myself, report to Master Burgess later, and ask him to give another Ninth Realm since we are incompatible. ”
Sullivan forcefully handed it over, “If we succeed this ti, I’ll let you have your way in all future matters. I’ll fully cooperate with you in front of Master Burgess.”
