The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen Chapter 1471 - 484: No Commercial Alliance

The scene begins with a tabletop, where the most conspicuous docunt is Shang Ji’s photograph of the scales that was sent over.

The scene then shifts to show the councilor standing by the window nearby, murmuring to himself.

"How could they have found those scales at this ti...

Feonne will certainly utilize the righteousness of faith to facilitate the return of the Divine Artifact to the greatest extent possible.

This artifact has been lost for too long. If it is successfully retrieved, with its fairness, Feonne will surely receive a vast reward for leading its return.

He is just a step away from becoming 8th Rank. If he succeeds, and the Business Alliance has a second 8th Rank, can it still be my Business Alliance...

No, I must find a way.

But the return of the Divine Artifact is a significant event, and no Believer of Order can openly obstruct it.

The only option is to ddle as much as possible in the negotiations...

Heh, even if they receive a reward, they cannot advance this ti, and they surely won’t want to see Feonne gaining more power and resources after his advancent. Perhaps I can reach out to them..."

The image and sound gradually fade away. Although the following conversation is unheard, just this brief fragnt is enough for Shang Ji and Bai Yi to make a judgnt.

"I didn’t expect it was a struggle for power and profit...

But happening in the Business Alliance, it sohow cos as no surprise?"

Bai Yi muttered to themselves within the network, having already co to a decision.

Returning to reality, at this mont, the ’greedy’ shareholder nad Feonne is still striving to persuade, attempting to reach an agreent with Bai Yi through an increased offer.

The other two, however, idly stand by, only intervening earlier when Feonne, in a mont of impulse, tried to overpower her with an impossible price.

Now that the intentions of each of the three are confird, holding leverage becos much easier.

Not waiting for Feonne to finish, Bai Yi decisively interrupted:

"Alright, I understand the terms the Business Alliance can offer, and I have thought it over carefully.

In principle, I agree with your offer."

As soon as Bai Yi spoke, they noticed the two behind Feonne tensing up, while Feonne’s suppressed excitent showed a stark contrast.

However, they quickly noticed the key words in Bai Yi’s statent.

"In principle? Lord Fan Mao, do you an..."

"What I an is, let’s forgo the direct transaction.

After all, we’re not familiar with each other; in such significant secret dealings, neither can trust the other. Don’t speak to of your contracts; I’ve used the power of the scales, and I know exactly how many loopholes a contract can have."

Bai Yi’s brief words completely swapped the expressions of Feonne and the two behind him, leaving even Feonne at a loss for words.

But Bai Yi didn’t intend to let him respond, and continued:

"You, in the Business Alliance, are all veterans in comrce. Surely you know trust must be built on cooperation.

Only by beginning with small deals and establishing trust can we move on to larger transactions, right?

Just so happens, I have another object suspected to be a Divine Artifact of Order in my possession. Why not start with it, and see how it goes?"

Bai Yi signaled Shang Ji to activate the projection device for energy perception again, and Bai Yi pulled out a new Abnormal Object from space.

This turned out to be the first Abnormal Object she acquired, that tal wind chi inscribed with elents of balance, deity, and so forth!

With this idea in mind, her Avatar in the territory had already sent the wind chi to the Academy Star via Divine Descent, making it sothing she could pull out at any ti.

Several high-level mbers of the Business Alliance quickly began to appraise it and swiftly reached a conclusion.

"No mistake, although unseen before, this is indeed an artifact of Order.

Lord Fan Mao was right; trust must be established through cooperation. May I ask Lord Fan Mao, what would you like to exchange it for?"

Upon hearing Feonne’s response, Bai Yi knew Feonne had taken the bait and proceeded to propose the conditions she had already prepared with a smile:

"First, I hope you can influence Saien’s decision-making, convincing Saien to cease assisting the student of the Great Mage, the one known as ’Kongyu’, the Seventh-Rank Mage.

Avoid taking sides in the Great Mage’s affair."

.........

Business Alliance Chairman: As one of the original major founders of the Saien Civilization, the Business Alliance gained considerable exemption rights from the Three Great Civilizations, being excluded from all Believer organizations. Therefore, the Business Alliance’s chairman beca a permanent council mber of the Saien Civilization’s decision-making body, wielding the power to sway Saien’s decisions...

[Note: Heh, you speak of the Business Alliance? They have no need to worry, for compared to so believer, they resemble a trader more closely. As long as the profits are substantial enough, they could even betray their god...]
