Chapter 752 - Deal Made

After all, with an entire world between them, Qingyao Demoness knew no more about this world than some country girl. Even after more than a year of learning, she still had plenty of gaps in her basic knowledge.

Even ordinary people couldn't know everything, so Qingyao Demoness's situation wasn't at all surprising.

"I'm Demville de Carolin, chairman of France's Lihai'er Conglomerate. I'd like to purchase 'Tears of an Angel'—no, the 'Dragon Pearl'—from your company. I hope you understand."

Demville had no choice but to formally introduce himself again. The other party never seemed to remember him, and they couldn't have a proper conversation if that continued!

Even though he had confirmed that the owner of the miraculous pearl was the Chinese young man with a "mysterious background and astonishing abilities," if he could get what he wanted by force, fraud, or theft, he wouldn't be going to all this trouble.

Demville had left highly incriminating evidence in the Public Security Bureau's records in China, including both eyewitness testimony and physical evidence. There was no disputing it. A little checking in France would connect all the dots: a thief had stolen something from a Chinese person, then sold it to a flea-market dealer, and several shootouts had broken out in the process, leaving a few people dead.

This matter wouldn't withstand investigation—and couldn't be investigated. If it came to light, Demville would not only be in the wrong; he'd have gone to all that trouble for nothing and made himself a laughingstock.

Demville might look entirely sincere
