The Bigshot Shocks The World When She Backs Home Chapter 791

Chapter 539 - Smokescreen

The man looked straight at Yao Tang and waited for her to make her own offer.

She lowered her gaze and seemed to be considering her options. After a while, she said, “For there to be a negotiation, both parties need to make a request.”

Which meant that the man had to name his terms, or there would be no deal at all.

Just like that, the power balance shifted.

The man’s eye’s widened in shock before he shook his head ruefully.

As expected, he shouldn’t underestimate the wit of a young genius.

Despite his age, this boy was nowhere as gullible as most of his peers. He knew what he wanted, and it was clear that he wouldn’t settle for anything else.

The man had no choice but to finally reveal his intentions. “I want the blueprint for an S-grade weapon, and attack type one.”

“You may only request C-grade and below,” Yao Tangsaid almost instantly.

It was a flat-out rejection that didn’t even take a few seconds of thought.

The man rolled his eyes.

“Then I want three C-grade blueprints and a new weapon design. Three C-grade weapons should make up for one S-grade. A reasonable trade, don’t you think?”

“Only one blueprint,” Yao Tangsaid, her tone still neutral. “C-grade, no design.”

The man practically choked on his saliva. He dropped his smile and pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.

“Three C-grade blueprints shouldn’t be much, given your family’s influence. Besides, this parchment is made of a rare, special material. I’m sure this is the one you’re looking for. There can’t be anything else like it in the world.”

“But is this parchment of any use to you? It’s just a piece of waste paper, isn’t it? You should be content with one C-grade blueprint in exchange.”

The man was backed into a corner.

His expression became ugly behind his mask, and his eyes were shooting daggers at the youth.

Sadly, he was the one at a disadvantage here, and he couldn’t even bluff his way out of the situation. The C-grade blueprints might be nothing valuable to the young master, but the man saw them as priceless treasures.

“Why don’t we take a step back and reconsider for a moment?” he said in a placating tone. “We both need something from each other, anyway, so wouldn’t it be good to come to a mutually beneficial compromise?”

There was a determined edge to his gaze as he added, “How about you give me one C-grade and one D-grade?” Surely, the young master wouldn’t refuse this time.

But Yao Tangstood her ground. “One C-grade blueprint, or you can make a different request.”

“Two C-grade blueprints,” the man insisted. “Final call!”

“One C grade,” Yao Tang repeated dryly, “or something else.”

“All right, fine! One C-grade blueprint for offense, and one C-grade blueprint for defense. I can’t settle for anything less!”

The man sounded angry now.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not changing my offer.”

The man froze.

It took him a moment to snap back to his senses, but when he did, he realized that he had been going back and forth like an indecisive and desperate amateur, while the other party had stood fast all this time.

Even though it was the young man who had initially wanted something, he had completely taken control of the situation and was now the one calling the shots.

Of course, the man already knew that the youth would never be able to deliver an S-grade blueprint. He might be the heir to the family, but it would simply be impossible for him to have such a terrifying authority.

The man had only brought up the S-grade weapons in an attempt to intimidate his opponent and force the latter to accept the conditions that he laid out.

Much to his dismay, this young master had never wavered from the start, nor had he fallen to the man’s underhanded tactics.

He wouldn’t even give up the blueprint for a defense weapon.

Doubt began to creep into the man’s heart. Was it possible that this young master didn’t care much about the parchment, after all?

If he really wanted the artifact, then why had he refused the man’s terms at every turn?

But then, why would he have gone through so much trouble to show up at the meeting in the first place?

This very encounter hinged on the premise that the young master wanted the parchment at all costs. He had even offered a large sum of money to whoever had the item.

And yet now, the boy was acting as though the artifact were just another worthless ware peddled in the streets.

What on earth was going on?

Could it be that the young master was bluffing himself, and all his actions thus far were merely a smokescreen?

The man pondered it for a good while, but he couldn’t figure out just what this youth was up to.

Yao Tang, the daughter of the Yao family who mistakenly exchanged at birth, was finally found. Unexpectedly, since her parents felt that she was embarrassing, they never recognized her as their own, and claimed that she was a relative's child who came to live with them. Everyone thought that Yao Tang was just a bloodsucker who was greedy for glory and clung to her "relative's" family. Her father, Yao Feng, registered Yao Tang at the Municipal No.1 Middle School for school. Since Yao Tang failed all of her subjects, she was rejected by the teaching supervisor. When Yao Feng left with Yao Tang, he met the principal of No.1 Middle School. He quickly went up to greet him, but the principal walked past him and tugged at Yao Tang excitedly. "You're finally willing to come to school!" Yao Tang bumped into Cheng Yan, who had once saved her life. Cheng Yan's friends were all convinced that Yao Tang was a gold-digger and waited for her to ask Cheng Yan to pay. When the bill came, Yao Tang quietly rummaged through her bag. Cheng Yan's friend said, "See, she's just stalling for time and waiting for Brother Cheng to pay!" Yao Tang took out a diamond-studded card. "Waiter, how much discount am I given for this card?" The waiter replied, "Honored guest, our diamond black card entitles you to spend here for free!" After that, a group of elite bigshots appeared. The heir of a top corporation posted, "CEO Yao, you've been on leave for a long time. Come back to work!" The international hacker group flooded computer screens everywhere. [To Yao Tang: Boss, it's fine if you don't come back to work, but can you not assault your own database?] When the usually emotionless prince, Cheng Yan, saw his little wife being surrounded, he flipped the table angrily. "Everyone, stay away. This is my wife!"
