Chapter 1754 - 1756: I Am the Stronger One
Lu Yi, one of the hundred thousand Iron Cavalry.
He is forty-two this year, a seasoned old employee.
His honest and simple look always gives people an exceptionally sincere first impression.
However, if you underestimate him because of this first impression, he’ll let you know that the sales championship he once held wasn’t earned through mere honesty.
Yes, he worked in sales and was once a sales champion, even sat on a throne of one hundred million cash at the annual meeting and carried home a huge bundle of cash.
Until now, the photo of him sitting on that cash throne is a bragging capital he’s reluctant to take out without good reason.
His specialty is penetrating clients’ hearts with an honest and simple first impression, subtly perceiving their thoughts, then step by step building trust, and finally doing business like friends!
It’s just that ever since Young Master Bu propelled the Lu Group to glory, he hasn’t gone out for negotiations much.
It’s not that there are no negotiations, but there’s no need for a talent like him.
After all, in the current situation, just mentioning Young Master Bu’s name, the Lu Group’s reputation, often opens green lights, with others rushing to sign contracts.
So, he feels rather idle and stepped down.
Later, after hearing that Young Master Bu plans to conquer another realm, he became engrossed in martial arts.
Although he’s not very talented, he’s smart, combined with hard work and the almost abundant resources from the Lu Group, he successfully became a Grandmaster, which is also known as Foundation Establishment.
He prefers the title Grandmaster, as it sounds more intimidating, much better than Foundation Establishment, which sounds like a goon.
Today, his dormant negotiation spirit began to burn again.
Because Young Master Bu is initiating a negotiation, and it’s with the Demon Clan, a clan only heard of, never seen!
He’s excited; he wants to conquer this bunch on behalf of Young Master Bu, at the negotiation table!
Thus, he argued with the leaders, confidently laying out his strengths, qualifications, and plans.
It’s almost as if he treats this exchange with the leaders as a major negotiation!
In the end, he won!
He got the chance, forming the final negotiation group together with dozens of colleagues.
With three people per group, they awaited Young Master Bu’s assignment upon arrival.
Later, he arrived at the Blood Continent via a portal, then reached Young Master’s side through the Blood Continent!
Looking at the still casual-looking Young Master, he couldn’t help but smile with a simple and honest expression.
He didn’t know why he smiled—negotiations just made him want to smile.
Colleagues around him felt the same way!
But soon, they couldn’t smile anymore!
Because their bodies were experiencing a tremendous pressure, the spiritual pressure from outside!
He immediately understood, this was the spiritual pressure here, higher than the Blood Continent, even higher than the current spiritual pressure in the Heavenly Dynasty!
This spiritual pressure made him feel like his blood vessels were swelling, feeling incredibly uncomfortable.
But afterward, when Young Master Bu patted each of them, a warm flow permeated their bodies, he felt instantly relaxed.
Young Master Bu explained later that this was due to the benefits from spiritual pressure research, allowing cultivators to temporarily attach True Qi beneath their skin, making their internal and external pressures briefly balanced, preventing forceful intrusion of spiritual energy.
Though this research could currently only be utilized by Young Master Bu.
Soon after, he followed Young Master Bu’s instructions and headed to a certain place.
This journey wasn’t long, but his heart began to race as he walked.
This time, it wasn’t the spiritual pressure—this was tension!
Yes, tension!
When he smelled the pervasive mix of blood and decay around, he felt tense!
He wasn’t worried about safety—Young Master Bu was there; he wasn’t worried about that!
It was a kind of restless tension, just like the first time he stepped into the sales industry, the first time he approached the negotiation table!
It’s hard to imagine that such a battle-hardened sales agent, even regarded as top tier within the Heavenly Dynasty, globally, would still feel tense when approaching the negotiation table!
However, he soon came to terms with it!
It’s normal, after all, in some sense, this is a first—a first contact with non-human creatures, a first negotiation!
Deep breath!
After all, he’s a veteran; he quickly suppressed the tension.
Then he arrived at the negotiation venue—a stump that couldn’t be simpler.
And opposite the stump was a dog!
More accurately, it looked more like that kind of dog-headed creature from a game.
But unlike the cowardly-looking creatures in a game, this dog-headed figure before him seemed filled with an indescribable aura of power and grandeur, even exuding a bloodthirsty ferocity, not to mention an intense impatience!
Then, Lu Yi heard the dog-headed figure speak: "Human, did you come here to become my dessert?"
The words carried a thick scent of blood and killing aura, its sharp white teeth reflecting a fierce light, indicating this was a meat-eating creature!
He summarized!
Ferocious, irritable, dismissive.
This was his first impression of the Bloodhound Leader!
Immediately, he recalled one of those thousands of plans floating in his mind—a batch called the negotiation plan for fierce bloodthirsty targets!
This was a major category within the plan, and within this category, there were hundreds of plans; he hadn’t decided which one or which to use yet.
But the general direction seemed correct!
So, two seconds later, his face bore the usual honest and simple smile, even carrying a bit of fear and the semblance of forced composure suppressing fear.
Powers like to see the fear weaklings have for them, especially this kind of slightly concealed fear; it would often give rise to their desires to toy with.
Once this thought emerges, it marks the beginning!
After all, negotiations are never worried about you being strong and me being weak, only about silence!
"Bloodhound Master, you’re joking! If you really wanted to eat me, would you let me come in?" Lu Yi’s words carried a slight chuckling tone.
Indeed, the Bloodhound across promptly revealed a sneering and dismissive smile, but at the same time, its killing intent and impatience weakened!
This made Lu Yi smile inwardly—fighting and killing, I can’t match you, but in this small space, this war of words and psychological intrigue, sorry! I am the strong one!
