Liu Quansheng wanted to stand firm, but the string of people who had stepped aside as soon as they saw Bai Xiaowen and Qiao Rui had made the pair's standing all the more apparent. It had also left him deeply uneasy.
When one side entered a negotiation at a disadvantage, they were bound to lose ground at every turn. They might not even dare hold firm on their bottom line.
"How much are you willing to offer, Mr. Bai?" Liu Quansheng asked. Feeling that he had sounded too meek, he gritted his teeth and added, "I definitely won't sell for less than 150,000."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head with a faint laugh. Liu Quansheng had clearly lost his composure; he could barely keep his words straight.
Still, Bai Xiaowen had no intention of taking undue advantage. Getting the missing piece of the set for 150,000 was already a deal he couldn't lose on. "Then 150,000 Psionic Points. Let's make the trade now."
Liu Quansheng wondered if he had asked for too little, but he had already named his price. He couldn't go back on it now, and it was best not to provoke this young man with his mysterious, powerful connections.
Bai Xiaowen paid 150,000 Psionic Points and received the Viper's Jaw dagger.
"Mr. Bai, do you already have the other piece?" Liu Quansheng couldn't help asking before Bai Xiaowen left.
Bai Xiaowen glanced back at him and smiled. "You shouldn't have asked that. Knowing the answer won't do you any good. 150,000 Psionic Points is no small sum. It's enough to buy two or three pieces of Top-grade Gold Equipment and greatly improve your strength. Sometimes you need to focus on what's in front of you and move forward one step at a time."
Liu Quansheng fell silent.
