After receiving Galon's agreement to his terms in just a few minutes, Amles immediately realized—
He had definitely asked for too little!
But since things had come to this, he could not raise the price any further and could only let it go. Besides, what he had gained was no small amount—over sixty thousand years' worth of Dark Energy Spring output.
"Korlak, now that we have this batch of Black Hole Crystals, do you think we should continue competing with the Federation in terms of consumption?"
Having stopped dwelling on it, Amles once again asked his chief strategist.
