chapter 1404 new business partners ii
chen was momentarily distracted, looking at the midnight games. the allure of the games, even as just a viewer, had gripped him from long ago, and almost made him want to participate. but though he felt motivated and impassioned, he was not a fool.
he did not have a planet to defend, nor a war to fight, so it was completely pointless for him to participate in such a battle. risking his point needlessly was not something he would do. unfortunately, he did not have a reason to risk his life either.
"you're supporting the mavericks?" he could not help but ask as he recognized the army on screen.
"more like betting against them," a wingan said. "they lost one of their leading attackers in a fight yesterday. while on paper the loss of a single soldier does not affect the whole army, his performance of coming through in critical moments is one of the main reasons the army has had so many achievements so far. without him, we predict they won't last another campaign, but they chose not to retreat."
chen only nodded, not commenting. unfortunately, he agreed with their assessment of the situation. that did not mean he liked the way they were looking to make a profit off the death or failure of an entire army. it left a bitter taste in his mouth.
but, as a decent businessman and even better soldier, he knew how to not allow his emotions to get in the way of his objectives. they sat down with the wingans and began their negotiations.
for all it was worth, chen really did his best to make the deal happen. after spending years working in the guild room at the inn, the siblings had gained numerous exclusive supply chains, allowing them to trade various products at extremely profitable prices, catering to numerous customers. but this would be their first, major client who would be larger than all their other sales combined together.
yet this deal, which seemed like a great deal for both parties, seemed to reach a sudden hurdle when the wingan raised their final, yet most important demand.
with the 1% charge of the guild room, they provided the quality assurance, payment assurance, as well as made sure that no one got scammed. trying to bypass it for small profits was a very good way to get scammed.
they had long decided not to avoid the guild room ever again. however, the massive profits of this deal could very easily tempt them. even chen was tempted. if nothing else, those funds could go a long way in helping him progress towards the immortal realm. but...
"sis, let's just let it go," he said in a low voice. he did not trust the wingans at all. he did not doubt at all that if he tried to pass them goods outside of the inn, they'd just kill and loot him rather than pay up.
"we might be able to convince them," she said, but even she didn't sound hopeful.
before chen could respond, however, an inn worker approached them.
"dear guests, i hope i am not finding you at a bad time. would you have a moment to talk?"
chen and lily looked at each other, confused.
"we're free. go ahead, how can we help you?"
"in that case, i would like to begin by congratulating you. brother chen, sister lily, as one of the oldest members of the guild room, you have been specially selected to participate in a couple of new initiatives that the inn is taking. of course, it all depends on whether you yourself are interested in participating. are you interested in learning more?"
"of course!" the siblings answered together, filled with pleasant surprise as well as a hint of excitement. the possibility of working together with the midnight inn was something they could never have even imagined? eten corp what? wingan who? they were dealing with the real big boys now.
