Chapter 1858: Chapter 1857: The Offer

Ling Feng was taken aback, looking at Aflek: "It’s a good idea, but don’t you think it’s a bit last-minute?"

"Yes!"

Aflek sighed with a bitter smile, "But it’s better than doing nothing, right? Even if we can’t catch up with the third attack, there’s still the fourth, the fifth, when it could be useful!"

"That’s true!"

Ling Feng nodded, then asked, "I roughly understand what you an. Mr. Aflek, you want to send a batch of people to my training school for learning, right?"

"Yes!"

Aflek nodded, "Actually, it’s not just my personal intention. The higher-ups think the sa. It’s just that since we have so connections, they let

talk to you about it!"

"Understood!"

Ling Feng nodded and replied straightforwardly, "You and your superiors don’t need to be so tense. There’s no reason for

not to agree to this kind of thing. I’m just wondering, how many people do you plan to send to my place?"

"A thousand people!"

Aflek raised one finger, "These people have so foundation. Most of them are newly discovered superpower users from Arica, so it shouldn’t be too hard for them to learn. We hope they can make great progress in a short ti, preferably all reaching the Qi Refining stage!"

Ling Feng was speechless internally, thinking to himself your calculations are loud and clear, a thousand Qi Refining experts, wanting

to train them for free?

Seeing his silence, Aflek seed to understand sothing, and quickly said, "Rest assured, Mr. Ling, we won’t let you work for free. Just na your price for this training!"

"Oh, since that’s the case, I’ll be straightforward!"

Ling Feng smiled, then raised one finger: "How about this amount?"

Aflek was startled, and after rolling his eyes, he asked in confusion, "Is it one billion US Dollars?"

"That’s right!"

Ling Feng nodded.

Aflek laughed.

"Alright, one billion is one billion, I can completely agree to that!"

Ling Feng also laughed, shaking his head he said, "You might have misunderstood, I ant one billion is the price per person!"

"What?"

Aflek’s eyes widened, thinking he misheard!

"You didn’t mishear, it’s one billion US Dollars per person!"

Ling Feng laughed and continued, "For a thousand people, that would be a thousand billion US Dollars!"

Aflek’s mouth twitched, left utterly stunned.

After pondering for a mont, he sighed and said, "Mr. Ling, your price is really...."

"Really daring to ask, huh?"

Ling Feng laughed, "Though it sounds outrageous, I’m not just asking randomly, and it’s not like I’m quoting this price just to scare you away!"

"Then why is it?"

Aflek asked, baffled.

"It’s quite simple, Qi Refining stage experts, although not uncommon worldwide, are still top-level beings. I have no problem training so many for you, but who can guarantee that I’m not making enemies for myself?"

"Arica suddenly having a thousand super experts, it’s a huge threat, both to Huaxia and to other countries around the world. The deterrence it creates, I think you know better than I do?"

Seeing Aflek remain silent, Ling Feng continued smiling, "So, the risk I have to bear is also very great. Charging this amount, for creating so many hidden troubles for myself, do you think it’s expensive?"

"...."

Aflek still didn’t speak. After pondering for a while, he looked up at Ling Feng, "Mr. Ling, your reasoning isn’t without rit, and no matter how I assure you, it won’t work. If I were you, I’d also see so many experts as a significant threat!"

"Thank you for understanding!"

Ling Feng smiled.

Aflek looked at him, "But such a high price is beyond my decision-making capacity. I need to report to the higher-ups first!"

Ling Feng nodded, "I understand, no rush. You can communicate with your superiors, and I’ll wait. By the way, rember I don’t negotiate prices, it’s non-negotiable!"

"Alright, please hold on."

Aflek stood up, striding into the room inside.

Ling Feng sat on the sofa, feeling imnsely pleased!

If this deal goes through, a thousand billion US Dollars in hand, it’ll be absolutely fantastic!

As for the reasons he ntioned earlier, they were just spur-of-the-mont excuses.

A thousand Qi Refining stage experts, while indeed quite intimidating, didn’t bother Ling Feng at all. If Aricans can train a thousand, why can’t I train two thousand?

Besides, my training school already has many students from various parts of Huaxia. Even if they’re all commissioned by different places for training and return to serve their own units in the future, they’re still part of Huaxia, aren’t they?

The school had already gained global attention after dazzling at that competitive tournant in Arica, attracting many to study here. So what’s the big deal with a few more Aricans?

Ling Feng intentionally exaggerated the severity, purely to take a hefty cut from the Aricans.

As the saying goes, only fools don’t make money when available!

Aflek reported the matter to his superiors via a call, and Ling Feng didn’t even bother using Divine Sense to eavesdrop. Whether they agree or not, it doesn’t matter to him, he’s got nothing to lose.

Just like that, after waiting for more than half an hour, Aflek finally returned.

Seeing the helpless smile on his face, Ling Feng knew there was hope!

Sure enough, after sitting down, Aflek said with a smile, "I must say, Mr. Ling, you’re a business expert. Quoting such a high price at once, my superiors were stumped!"

"Oh, actually, this price isn’t high at all. To rapidly enhance strength, I must invest a lot too. Just the ingredients for supplenting Spiritual Energy for each person cost tens of millions of US Dollars!"

Ling Feng said, then asked, "So, has your superior made a decision?"

"They have decided, to go along with Mr. Ling’s terms, one billion US Dollars per person!"

Aflek nodded, then added, "But we have a condition!"

Ling Feng looked at him, "Please, go ahead!"

"We can pay the money, but only half up front. The rest will be paid to you once they’ve successfully completed their education and returned to Arica. If any choose to stay and not return, for each one, we’ll deduct one billion US Dollars!" Aflek said.

Ling Feng imdiately stood up, "I do business; there’s never been a notion of post-paynt with . If you don’t trust , so be it!"

Saying this, he turned to leave, and Aflek hurried to catch up, "Don’t rush, let’s talk this through!"

"I don’t have ti to waste here. I need to leave soon. Here’s my number, contact

via phone if there’s anything!"

Ling Feng said and walked out the door!

Seeing him about to leave, Aflek quickly instructed his subordinates to escort him, then rushed back to make a call.
