Another World Mall Chapter 944 944: "Biting Clovis"

In the end, Clovis had to call Hana again.

"I see." Hana paused for a mont. "You want to use the RAID to expand on the east."

"Basically, yes. You can still retain the Three Swords of course."

He had prepared to compromise with Hana as long as she could agree without making unreasonable demands.

To his surprise, Hana actually agreed without thinking for too long. "Sure. We can do that."

"Huh? Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Well, if you feel a bit guilty, how about letting my grandparents and parents visit that gallery of yours? I can promise they will keep quiet about it."

It wasn't an unreasonable demand. In fact, it was too little for what he was asking.

After all, as the items from Another World Mall were gradually exposed, they would be able to enter the gallery. So, at most, it would be just one year ahead of the schedule he had in mind.

So, it was nothing much for Clovis.

"Sure." Clovis nodded. "I'm surprised that you are okay with just this much."

"Do you want to take more? Well, I do have a small request. This eting. I want to attend it as well."

"I don't personally mind." Clovis nodded.

"Tsk." Hana clicked her tongue.

"Why do you look annoyed?" Clovis was confused. They both got what they wanted, so there was no reason for her to be annoyed.

"I'm annoyed with you. This is why you should have left the negotiation to ." Hana sighed.

"W-What?" Clovis was bewildered, not expecting he was the one annoying her.

"Yeah. It's true that your negotiation skill is quite good, but you are only thinking about what you can agree to in the deal. However, you don't take a look at the desire of the other party. An item can change its value if seen by different people."

Clovis furrowed his eyebrows, still not understanding it.

"Your negotiation skills might not let you get taken advantage of, but you definitely don't know the fact that there is already an annoying fly around my company, right? The one I told you about."

"An annoying fly? The one who asked you to leave ?"

"Yep. If I rely on the Three Swords alone, it won't get done. However, RAID's strategy and concept are more aggressive than Three Swords. With their help, I can definitely control the situation in the east.

"That's why even before the negotiation, I had been thinking about the piece I should have next. It turned out you delivered it personally to .

"In other words, if you had just told , 'Hey, I know your problem. What do you think about having RAID assist your business in the east?' I would have agreed, no question.

"However, because you were much more focused on equivalent exchange, you wouldn't even employ such a tactic. If I were to push you a bit further, I could get a lot more out of you.

"This is why you have been saying I've sucked you dry. If I wanted to suck you dry, your items from Another World Mall would have been in my hands by now. Or we would have beco enemies by now."

Clovis was a bit speechless. At the sa ti, he couldn't really refute her words.

It was no wonder that Hana asked to be in charge of the negotiation with the governnt. If he were the one in charge, he wouldn't have gotten so many benefits.

Then again, this was the reason Hana's company could grow to this size at such speed.

Clovis smiled wryly. "Alright, alright. You won."

"Won, my ass!" Hana glared at him. "Listen to . Your money is my money. My money is my money!"

"There is sothing wrong with that sentence."

"Shut up. Because it is my money that I won't let anyone steal it right under my nose. If they want it, they're going to bleed first!"

Clovis looked away. It looked like the problem had beco a bit too big this ti for her to be so annoyed.

"All right. Let apologize then." Clovis scratched the back of his head.

Hana sighed. "Seriously. You may have good stats on overall ability, but you need to let the people who have better stats than you in a certain area handle it. Just like Kanaria."

Clovis really couldn't win against Hana this ti. She said she wasn't greedy, but she had already claid his assets as hers.

Then again, even though Hana said, 'Your money is my money and my money is my money.' There should be a continuation of that sentence.

That continuation should be, 'And I'm going to multiply the money since it's my money.'

In the end, if he left it to her, she could easily multiply it.

"Anyway, let handle the negotiation. You just play along with . It's fine if I am seen as a tyrant in terms of the family's expenses. No, it's better that way. This way, they will know they won't be able to take advantage of your assets."

"Okay, okay. You're the boss." Clovis raised both arms.

Hana sighed. "We'll arrange their visits at a later date. Besides, the situation this ti is dangerous, right?"

"Yeah. This is much more dangerous than anything we've seen so far. There are so many variables."

"Still not going to involve the military?"

"No. They can focus on claiming the mining rights. We will get the benefits in the end, even though we are just focusing on dealing with our own problems."

"Should have involved them, but then again, other groups might also take this chance to participate and make us owe them." Hana crossed her arms. "Alright. Let's et that man from RAID. Before you call him, make sure to wait until the ti limit or be late a bit more to make us look like we have an argunt. Don't show that we're eager to take the deal, okay?"

"Got it." Clovis nodded. Clovis followed her instructions this ti, since this was a good opportunity for him to learn as well.

To his surprise, even though Hana said she would agree, the mont the eting started, Hana suddenly stated, "Sorry, Mr. Kaen. I think we can't accept this deal."

"!!!"
