Rebirth: The New Game of Life

Chapter 14: Negotiation

The interior of the house was quite common, with a few tables and chairs. Following a new person who came to receive the visitors, Liu Yang came to a room that had a reasonable lighting. There was a group of seven people sitting around a table, when Liu Yang arrived, everyone glared at him. The group was composed of several races, there were men and women, by the appearance of each, their age range between 25 - 50.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."

As Liu Yang was wearing a black cloak that covered his entire body and his voice seemed a bit distorted, the group could not identify many things about Liu Yang. So they were wary of him.

"We've learned that you have information about the secret location, all the powers of the Nine Worlds are behind this information. But none of them have been able to find traces until now, even after so many months. How should you have such information? Is it more false information?"

"I do not need you to believe my words now, but you will believe them in the near future. As for why I want you to spread the news from the secret spot, it's because I do not want to go to the Adventurer's Guild and expose myself, even if the reward is extremely attractive. I do not currently have the money, but we can make a little agreement, I can give you the information for 5% of the reward value that the Adventurer Guild is giving for true information about the secret location".

"But how can we know if the information is true or false? If you even sell such information to the great powers, you would earn much more than making that deal with us."

"That may be true, but I have some problems with the big powers right now, so I can not do that. When the veracity of the information, you can do this after we make the agreement, you must have some people who can go there and confirm. But if you do not want to accept the agreement, I can go find other people who will accept it. You'd better not try anything, with just this small amount of force would be a waste of time."

As Liu Yang spoke, Xillia Wolf who was watching the group, realized a small intent to kill emanating from the group, she warned Liu Yang about it.

Listening to the words of Liu Yang, the group was surprised and began to be more cautious. After a few moments of silence, a large man who appeared to be about 40 years old, was sitting in the middle of the group began to speak.

"Okay, we'll accept that task, but we'll just pay you 100,000 gold coins for the information when we confirm that it's true, and the other 900,000 gold later."

After pretending to think for a moment, Liu Yang agrees. What Liu Yang wanted now, was not money, but to attract as many people as possible to the secret location.

"Okay, I'll accept, but on the condition that the moment you confirm the information is true, I want the coins right away. I hope you have someone with me with the money, and that once you have received the confirmation, you can authorize the payment."

"How can we know you will not rob us and leave?"

"It's called trust, if you trust me, of course, I will trust you, but if you do not accept that term, 100,000 is very little, I need at least 400,000. I am giving the information for a low price and with a not very reasonable condition, I can understand what you are thinking at the moment."

Hearing the words of Liu Yang, the seven look at each other before nodding their heads.

"Okay, but we'll choose who will accompany you with our investment."

"No problem with that."

The two shook hands and closed the deal, Liu Yang gave the small glass ball, this glass ball is a projector of images, while the burly man delivers a golden card, these cards are where the money is stored, avoiding to carry thousands of coins in his pocket.

When the group looked at the map that appeared, they were irritated.

"Are you kidding us? We've mapped more than 70% of this forest, and this place is one of the nodes we've been to, but we've found nothing!"

"Are you sure? Why not send someone there right now and confirm, you guys should have that ability, right? Members of the Black Wolves Group."

Hearing the final words of Liu Yang, the group became frightened. They began to release a strong intention to kill. Then the stout man stopped.

"Stop it! Peter, use your animals and check the information. Saya, escort our guest to a comfortable hotel. You only have to wait a few hours before we confirm the truthfulness of the information."

Peter was a fairy race man with a thin body, white skin, thin face, short hair, and cloth clothes, appeared to be about 25 - 30 years old, Saya was a blue-skinned demon woman, two small horns, hair black and long, down to her back, delicate face, sharp eyes and thin lips, he wore a set of leather clothing that showed her curvaceous figure.

"OK boss."

They both responded at the same time.

Liu Yang and Saya left the house and went to a luxurious part of town. Each had their plans in the middle of the negotiation, Saya felt a burning look from Liu Yang, so the group began to formulate a plan, because Saya was one of the strongest members of the group and the most determined, as to Liu Yang , he had his own plans the moment he looked at group.

...

The two were by coincidence to the Rose Inn, the lodging of Xiao Xi's family. They asked for the best room as they climbed the stairs under the strange gaze of the maids.

Opening the door, which appeared in front of Liu Yang and Saya was an extremely luxurious room, the view was magnificent, large double bed decorated with exquisite patterns, window with a view to good part of town, large bathtub.

Liu Yang went straight to play in bed, while Saya sat in a wooden chair near the window. Neither of them spoke, the weather felt strange and heavy.

"Miss Saya, right? Why do not we talk for a while we wait for your group to confirm the information".

"There's nothing to talk about, we're just here to wait, nothing more".

Looking at that hot and cold figure at the same time, Liu Yang begins to take off his cloak, but the image that appeared was not a young man of 17-19 years, but a man of 25 - 27 years and with a face and body.

"Let's talk a little, I'm showing some sincerity by showing my face and voice".

"But what kind of sincerity is that? Even if you have taken off the robe, that face and voice is not your true one".

Seeing that his trick has been exposed, Liu Yang scratches the nose and tries again, but this time with a slightly more serious voice.

"What if I can help you and your friend with your problem? You would still refuse to talk to me".

Hearing the words of Liu Yang, Saya's body shakes a little before turning to look toward Liu Yang, who was sitting on the bed looking at her.
