Ethan was silent for a mont upon hearing Michael’s response. But even then, there was not much of a change in his expression.
Finally, after a few seconds of silence, he said, "In this world, I believe that everything has a price. Sotis, the owner of the item would receive compensation, but at other tis, it would be them paying the price of owning what they had.
So, why don’t we just find a place and have a good talk about this? I’m pretty sure that we can co to an agreent about the price for Sky Technologies."
Michael of course understood that Ethan was trying to pressure him. From his words, he was implying that if Michael did not want to sell, there was a possibility that Ethan might use other thods in order to force him to sell.
But to this threat, Michael did not take it seriously at all. At the mont, he already possessed an SSS grade ability, acquired through the system.
If not for the fact that his body had not yet completely adapted to the first ability that he acquired, he would have already acquired more abilities.
But even then, the psychic clone ability that he had gained was quite overpowered. While the clones could only exist for a week, they possessed the sa level of strength as the main body.
That implied that at the mont, with a total of five clones, it implied that there were five forces that he could depend on. After all, each clone possessed the sa strength in terms of physique as Michael, and so did they possess the skills that he did.
With almost 200 skills mastered to the expert level, quite a number of them were related to combat or could enhance the combat ability. Therefore, if the five clones and Michael decided to take action at the sa ti, not many could handle it.
Even those mutants that had gained an improvent in their strength, how many could compare against Michael in terms of strength? After all, ever since he took the evolution serum, his own strength had already gone beyond the human limits.
Ethan was the nephew of Amos Wesley, the leader of the blood Reapers syndicate. If he was eting an ordinary person, then it would have been easy for Ethan to be able to get what he wanted.
In so cases, he might have even been able to obtain the company without paying anything. All that he might have needed was just to use them underhanded thods, to achieve his goals.
The blood reapers syndicate was almost at the sa level as the silent order syndicate. Therefore, the number of mutants that they had was not that high.
Additionally, the level of the mutants was not high either, with the limit probably being grade A, which was also the highest level of the serum that has been produced, at least according to the information that Onyx had managed to find.
There was always the probability of the information related to higher grade mutation serums being kept confidential. Maybe just a few people knew about it, and they did not dare to share it using electronic devices.
Regardless, Michael believed that the probability of the blood reapers syndicate having a mutant with a grade S ability was kind of stretched.
Hence, Michael did not really take the threat by Ethan seriously. Additionally, he was planning to deal with the blood reapers syndicate, and it would not be long until then.
If this guy did not behave, then he might just follow in the footsteps of both Nathan and Brian, who had overstepped. But if he did behave, he might have a few more days to live.
"How about this? Since you are telling to quote the price, then I will not hold back. I believe that the price that I ntion, you can et it, right?" Michael asked with raised brows.
"Hey, don’t look down on . No matter the price you ntion, I believe that I can afford it. After all, I have seen that Sky Technologies has quite so potential. Therefore, I believe that the price is going to be quite high, but not out of the range that I can afford." As he said that, Ethan’s voice was tinged with a form of warning.
Clearly, he was trying to make sure that Michael would not ask for an extravagant amount of money. At least, he had to be reasonable, and quote a price that really matched the value of Sky Technologies.
Actually, in most situations, Ethan would have already used other thods in order to acquire sky technologies. But this ti, he held back.
Before coming to Brenton City, he had already done his investigation about Michael. While the information on Michael was extrely hard to find, he still managed to find so pieces of information, especially when he paid attention to the Santos family.
Therefore, he knew that Michael was the son of Zachary Santos, who had left the Santos family over 18 years ago. And since then, he had never returned, and neither had his offspring.
Additionally, it seed that the Santos family was currently in chaos, especially with sothing that had happened to the third in command, Bob. And there were rumors that one of the mutants of the silent order syndicate had disappeared.
From this, Ethan understood that the relationship between Michael and the Santos family wasn’t that harmonious. That was especially after Michael’s response when Ethan ntioned the Santos family.
First of all, Ethan was not sure how Michael was able to achieve what he had right now. To be able to build sky technologies to this level, while he had acquired it just a few months ago, it was incredible.
On the other hand, he valued the ability that Michael had. If Michael could accept it, then Ethan would be more than willing to invite Michael to join the blood reapers syndicate.
And in the future, when he took over the position of the leader of the blood reapers syndicate, Michael could be his second in command.
This was exactly why he had not tried using other thods to acquire sky technologies. As for targeting Alex and the others, this was just a probe on Michael’s abilities.
And as expected, Michael did not disappoint him. Therefore, he was very more than willing to have Michael join them.
"Just as you have said, Sky technologies possesses trendous potential. I have managed to acquire quite a number of talents and experts, and right now, it is only just a matter of ti before Sky technologies turns into a monopoly in the technology industry.
You should understand the power of a monopoly, so I won’t ntion it. Still, in terms of capital, sky technologies does not lack it.
Right now, all that is needed is ti, and within at most a year, I believe that sky technologies will already beco the monopoly of the technology industry.
Therefore, the amount of money invested right now should definitely match the future potential of Sky Technologies. In any case, after taking over this company, the new owner will just have to wait, and will not need to do much, apart from relaxing and waiting for the ti of the monopoly of the company.
Therefore, after much consideration, I believe that a quotation of $10 trillion should not be much of a problem, right? This is definitely worth the price of a future monopoly of the technology industry, and I believe that I am already undervaluing it." Michael responded with an expression of one who was so reluctant to sell.
But his words, they left everyone montarily shocked, before behind him, Alex and the group suddenly began stifling their laughter.
Of course, they could tell that Michael was just ssing around with this guy. He definitely had no intention of selling Sky Technologies.
Additionally, the price that he had just quoted, who would actually afford that? $10 trillion? Why not just go ahead and rob the bank?
Moreover, this price that he had quoted, it was based on the potential of sky technologies, not what it had currently achieved.
If soone could really afford the price, and paid it, what would happen if there was a mishap along the way? If the company failed to fulfill its potential, would the investnt not be lost?
In this situation, Alex and the group really wanted to burst out in laughter. It was just that they were not willing to provoke Ethan that they held themselves back.
But even then, how could Ethan not notice that their shoulders were trembling, and their expressions showed that they really wanted to laugh. That was especially for so of them that were already having their hands covering their mouths, with stifled laughter erging.
Ethan did not bother with them. Instead, he just gazed at Michael with a cold expression on his face. Clearly, he did not like the fact that Michael was ssing with him.
He took a deep breath, trying to prevent himself from lashing out in anger. And a few breaths later, he said, "Let’s be realistic. The most I can offer is $10 billion. If you want more than that, then I am sorry, you might be the one who might need to pay the price for owning Sky Technologies."
This amount of money, $10 billion, it was the highest that he could offer. Of course, this money would not co from him, as he could not afford it. Instead, it would co from his uncle, whom he had already inford about his plans.
"Hey, have you ever seen soone going to a supermarket and then starting to bargain? Even if you really have ever seen soone doing that, let ask you, have you ever seen soone bargaining like you do?" Michael was nonchalant as he responded with a few questions.
