Luo Ye took the outrageously expensive bill and shoved it straight against Mizaistom's chest.
Fifty heavy-duty, high-pressure gas cylinders stood in a row on the black mineral ground.
Every one of them contained compressed Gas Lifeforms.
This was already a super-energy fuel of the highest purity.
Luo Ye held up one finger.
"One hundred billion Jenny."
"Fixed price. No discounts."
"If you want to change human history, buy out this ultimate energy source."
Mizaistom was so furious that even the horns on his head trembled.
He had never seen such brazen extortion in his life.
"You're outright forcing us to buy this!!!"
Kanzai clenched both fists, his knuckles cracking sharply. His explosive temper already had him ready to start a fight.
Luo Ye did not even spare him a proper glance. His pitch-black eyes held nothing but the mercenary shrewdness of someone who had seen through everything.
"I'm handing you a fortune on a silver platter."
"And your Hunter Association can't even take it?"
Luo Ye made as if to pick up the gas cylinders on the ground.
"Fine."
"Then I'll take all this stuff back to the human world."
"And sell it at a premium to those enemies of the Kakin Empire in the V5."
"Let's see whether they line up to throw money at me."
Pariston strolled forward unhurriedly, wearing that utterly nauseating fake smile.
"I'm in favor of buying it."
Pariston interlaced his fingers.
"With this batch of high-energy gas, the Hunter Association will have all the leverage it needs to go toe-to-toe with those V5 politicians."
Behind them, Beyond burst into wild laughter inside his titanium alloy cage, hammering the bars with both hands.
"You Hunter Association good-for-nothings!!!"
"You don't even have that much resolve or guts?"
"How do you expect to conquer this continent?!?!"
