After that, she turned to Charlie and said, “Mr. Wade, since my master just mentioned that, I will no longer debate with you over the ownership of this medicine cauldron. I simply want to know, how much are you willing to sell it for?”
Charlie smiled and replied, “Maxton, as I stated earlier, even if youid all your father’s assets before me, I still would not agree to sell.”
Maxton frowned, thinking to himself, “This Mr. Wade probably has no idea how wealthy my father is. In a second-tier city like Aurous Hill, the upper limit is likely in the billions, but my father’s fortune exceeds two hundred million dors!”
With this in mind, Maxton quickly responded, “Mr. Wade, I’m not here to engage in idle chat. If you sell me the medicine cauldron, I can offer you a very generous reward that will secure your future and allow you to livefortably for the rest of your life!”<fn8b46> The rightful source is f?ndnovel</fn8b46>
Charlie asked, still smiling, “Maxton, why don’t you make an offer? Let’s see if it’s truly generous.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Maxton looked at Charlie with an air of arrogance and dered, “If you hand over the medicine cauldron, I will pay you 100 million U.S. dors on the spot!”
To Maxton, 100 million dors seemed like an enormous sum—one that most people could only dream of. He thought it was a sincere offer.
However, upon hearing this, Charlie merely smiled lightly and said, “I didn’t realize Maxton was feeling quite generous today.”
Maxton, unamused, replied, “My offer is only valid for this morning. If Mr. Wade wishes to make a deal at this price, please bring the medicine cauldron as soon as possible.”
Charlie waved his hand, still smiling, and said, “Maxton, anyone interested in this medicine cauldron needs to start with a price of ten billion dors. I need to verify the funds first. Since you don’t have 10 billion dors in cash, it’s best not to make an offer.”
“What did you just say?!” Maxton eximed, taken aback. “10 billion dors?! Mr. Wade, do you think that kind of money just falls from the sky? Do you understand how much 10 billion dors really is?”
Charlie replied with a grin, “I’m well aware. To be honest, 10 billion dors is merely the starting price. You’ll need to pay that first, and as for how much we can negotiate beyond that, there’s no upper limit.”
Maxton, feeling that Charlie was mocking him, shot back angrily, “Mr. Wade, I’m trying to conduct a serious business deal here, and it’s rather tiresome for you to be so unreasonable.”
“Being unreasonable?” Charlie chuckled lightly and said, “Since Maxton believes I’m being unreasonable, perhaps we should halt this discussion altogether. I kindly ask you to refrain from mentioning the medicine cauldron from now on.”
