Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 785: 785 Chapter 785: 785 “Since you all think it’s unsuitable, then the transaction can only be called off.

It’s not that we don’t want to buy, but rather you’re not selling,” Lin Shen said indifferently.

“If you don’t buy, there are plenty of others who will.

The Jiuyou Group is still waiting in line, and we don’t necessarily have to sell to the Celestial Race,” Glen said coldly.

“That suits us fine, then sell to Tian Jiuyou,” Lin Shen said as he stood up to leave, showing no hint of reluctance.

“Lord…

don’t forget our mission…” Chi Jiu was flabbergasted, unsure of what Lin Shen was really trying to do.

They had talked for so long, and the Diman Tribe had only agreed to part with seven planets.

Now, Lin Shen had abruptly cut it down to three, and moreover, three of the planets with relatively poor resources—how could the Diman Tribe possibly agree.

“If you want to buy, then sign it yourself,” Lin Shen said without turning his head as he walked away.

Seeing this, Glen realized Lin Shen was truly not willing to negotiate and was momentarily lost in thought.

He was a confidant of the Shaxun General and knew the details; the Divine Statue held value if sold to the Celestial Race, otherwise, it was worthless.

It was also because of the Shaxun General’s intelligence that he knew where the Celestial Race’s bottom line was, ruthlessly clinging to it until they reached seven planets.

“Damn, Tian Jiuyou’s intelligence was wrong,” Glen cursed inwardly but had no choice but to call out to Lin Shen, “Lord Lin, please wait, your price is really too low, it’s beyond our bottom line, perhaps we can negotiate further.”

If that’s acceptable, we can sign the agreement; if not, there’s no need to negotiate further.

We will return and report now, my authority only goes so far, and that’s all the help I can offer.”

Glen’s expression was unsettled.

He tried to discern from Lin Shen’s eyes whether he was bluffing, but could not tell a thing, only seeing the worried expressions of Chi Jiu and other officials of the Celestial Race.

After hesitating for a moment, Glen said to Lin Shen, “Lord Lin, please wait a moment.”

“Alright,” Lin Shen nodded, but showed no intention of returning, still standing by the door as if ready to leave at any moment.

Glen left the conference room and after a while, he came back in.

“Lord Lin, really, can we not discuss this further?

The price you’ve offered is really too low, we simply cannot accept it,” Glen said with a sigh, seemingly ready to give up on the transaction.

“I’m sorry, I really can’t help you,” Lin Shen sighed as well, then prepared to leave.

“Lord Lin, do you keep your word?

You won’t go back on it, will you?” Glen’s words caught Chi Jiu and the other officials of the Celestial Race off guard; the Diman Tribe seemed to be agreeing to Lin Shen’s outrageous offer.

“Of course, my word is my bond,” Lin Shen said solemnly.

“Fine, for the friendship between the Diman and Celestial Races, let’s agree to your price.

May our tribes maintain their friendship.

Please, sign here,” Glen brought out a new agreement, laying it on the table.

Lin Shen smiled, stunning Chi Jiu and others who quickly approached the table to look at the agreement.

As expected, the content had changed to the three planets Lin Shen had mentioned.

“This…

how is this possible…” The officials of the Celestial Race were dumbfounded.

Lin Shen returned, picked up the pen, and prepared to sign.

“Lord Lin…

no…” Chi Jiu suddenly reached out to stop Lin Shen.

By now, Chi Jiu realized there must be a catch; otherwise, the Diman Tribe could not possibly have agreed to Lin Shen’s unreasonable offer.

Chi Jiu was thankful for Lin Shen’s reckless actions; otherwise, they would have had to give away seven planets.

Although it was Lin Shen who would be blamed if anything went wrong, the resources that these seven planets could produce were astronomical, enough to support the expenses of a corps.

Even if he was not the one to be blamed, he did not want the Diman Tribe to gain such an advantage, nor did he wish to fall into their trap.

“Lord Lin, are you going to renege now?” Glen said darkly.

“I’ve already said, if I’ve spoken it, I will abide by it,” Lin Shen responded.

Glen’s face relaxed slightly, but then Chi Jiu anxiously neared Lin Shen’s ear, “Lord Lin, there’s a problem here, you can’t sign!”

“Deputy Chief Jiu, you told me to sign, now you tell me not to sign—who’s in charge here, you or me?” Lin Shen said indifferently.

“You…” Chi Jiu was infuriated, having rarely considered Lin Shen’s perspective and now faced with this attitude.

Lin Shen ignored him, signed his name on the agreement, stamped his seal, and finalized the pact.

The parties exchanged agreements, signed again, stamped seals, and finalized another pact.

Chi Jiu was so agitated that he found Lin Shen absurd.

“Are you really so eager to die?” Chi Jiu felt Lin Shen wouldn’t survive once he returned, pitying the three planets.

Fortunately, those three planets were the lesser ones among the seven, so retaining the other four was somewhat consolatory.

But as for Lin Shen, upon his return, he was surely doomed, and Chi Jiu felt that there must certainly be a problem with that Celestial Divine Statue.

“Lord Lin is truly a man of his word!” Glen was very pleased, though he had received much less than expected.

But exchanging a fake Celestial Divine Statue for three Base Mutation planets was still highly profitable.

“Keeping one’s word and honoring pacts are virtues everyone must possess, and I assume the nobility are no exception,” Lin Shen said with a smile.

“Of course, our Diman Tribe values the spirit of pacts greatly,” Glen nodded repeatedly, thinking inwardly, “What kind of pure fool is this, just like a divine gift from the gods.”

He had thought today’s agreement wouldn’t succeed, but to his surprise, the other party had actually signed, and Lin Shen had missed the nuances entirely, merely focusing on negotiating the price.

“Then, please bring out the Divine Statue to complete the transfer,” Lin Shen said with a smile.

Lin Shen’s smile appeared utterly delightful in Glen’s eyes, like a red envelope falling from the sky.

“Of course, go bring the Divine Statue,” Glen looked at Lin Shen, “Lord Lin, as for the celestial pact…”

“Hand it over,” Lin Shen extended his hand to Chi Jiu.

At this point, nothing could be done to stop it, and key to Chi Jiu’s uncertainty was not being able to ascertain if there was truly a problem with the Divine Statue.

Thus, he did not dare to take action himself.

Since Lin Shen was to take the blame, he might as well throw caution to the wind, handing over the planetary pacts for those three planets to Lin Shen in frustration.

Lin Shen took the planetary pacts in his hand and then brought them before Glen.

Glen reached out to take them, but Lin Shen withdrew his hand, saying lightly, “Cash on delivery.”
