Chapter 557 - Cheap Tricks

Location- Sky Blossom City, Association Guild mall, Warehouse no.234

“You got my interest, speak what changed your mind? I thought you would answer after a week.” Diana is a wise woman with a brave spirit, subduing her will not be easy. So, I gave her a week to give an official answer after she witnessed the destruction of the Circle of Sun Blossom branch by the hands of my allies and me. But I did not expect her to give a positive answer so quickly.

“The fact that you are the one behind the controversy in Sun Blossom City was enough for me to decide that it would be in my best interest to grow under your shadow rather than alongside you,” Diana answered with humble words, which would satisfy any man’s ego. Especially coming from her. After all, hearing a powerful woman like Diana say she is willing to be under them, what man would not feel a boost to their masculinity.

“Diana, my time is important. Please don’t waste it with your little games. Speak the whole truth, or I will hang up.” I was very confident about my masculinity. Being kissed by two card empresses does that to a man. I did not buy Diana’s bullshit. Suppressing the false propaganda of the Circle and exposing them to the citizens of the Sun Blossom city was not a good enough reason for Daina to give Fine Gold to me. There has to be something else.

“Fine, promise me that what I am going to say next will not affect our negotiation.” Seeing her usual trick not work on me, Diana finally decided to confess.

“Yeah, that’s not happening. See, I don’t make promises that I can’t keep.” I would be a fool to promise Diana a pardon without knowing whatever shit she did to reach a decision.

“Sigh! I had my people monitor you, your friends, this warehouse, people visiting this warehouse… Basically, everyone you have come in contact with. Though my people could not find anything useful, they were able to trace your connection with the Tiger Squadron.

I never expect the stubborn Captain to surrender to you of all people. You do know that he rejected the offer of Southern Watch.

Anyway, seeing how the Tiger Squadron, which has been peaceful for years, suddenly become active and nose around the Circle’s past. I was suspicious of what they were up to. But hearing the news from Sun Blossom city, a lot of your actions started to make sense.

For example, I figured out why you gave me a week to give you an official answer. And why you sounded so confident that I would answer in your favor. I got to say I am impressed. And to impress my new boss, I decided to join work early and gain some extra credits.

I hope you won’t take offense that I put a tail on you and every person you came in contact with to reach this decision.” Diana thoroughly explained what led to her decision. And she was worried that the method she took to make her decision would offend me, in turn affecting the negotiation.

“Don’t worry. You did what any good businesswoman would do. I would rather be disappointed if you didn’t. Your hands-on action has impressed me. And they assured me that I had chosen the right person.” I was indeed impressed by Diana’s information-gathering skills. Though the relationship between Old Ben and me is not that hard to uncover, I was impressed that Diana did her homework thoroughly. She deserved some extra credits.

“Ah~ that takes a load off of me. So boss, when do you want to make our relationship official?” Diana said, referring to the transfer of 51% of the Fine Gold share to my name. And also, by addressing me as boss, she made her role in our partnership clear.

“Swing by the warehouse when all the documents are ready. I plan to spend the rest of my day here.” Since the fortune is literally running into my pockets, why delay it. Sooner the better.

“Sure, Boss. And one more thing…” Diana agreed to my proposal but later dragged her words as if she was hesitating to ask me something.

“Go ahead.” Now that the relationship between Diana and me is pretty much established. I do not mind being a little tolerant towards her games. Who doesn’t know the trick of acting submissive to gain trust and then acting weak to conjure empathy for oneself? Right now, Diana was doing that.

“Thank you, boss. About Silver milk powder, does it deliver what it is advertised as?” Diana finally asked the crux of her call, silver milk powder.

“You already know the answer, so why ask?” Instead of asking whether the rumors about silver milk powder are true or not, Diana asked if silver milk powder is as miraculous as advertised. This clearly told that Diana thought Silver milk powder was the real deal, and the rumors about it were nothing but baseless rumors.

“Cough! Boss, I do, but it would be a lot more assuring if I heard it from you.” Diana chose her words carefully as she knew she was pushing her luck.

“What if I said no? Will you cancel the verbal agreement we just had?” I could tell Diana the truth or ask her to mind her business, but this was more fun.

“…” My question rendered Diana speechless.

“Tell me, Diana, what are you planning to do after hearing my answer? I thought you were a lot smarter than this, but I guess I was overestimating you.” I was having fun teasing Diana. Did she think that showing submission and weakness would lower my guard towards her? Hasn’t she already learned that these little tricks of hers don’t work on me…

“Master Wyatt, I apologize.” Diana finally stopped with her tricks and apologized.

“It’s okay. I can understand where you are coming from. When you visit the warehouse later, I will let you taste a sample of Silver milk powder, so you can tell whether it is as miraculous as the rumors about it.”
