Chapter 695: Chapter 628: Business Worth Hundreds of Millions Chapter 695: Chapter 628: Business Worth Hundreds of Millions Long Yin’er took a deep breath, as if trying to compose herself.

“You’re saying that Sid wants to kidnap you?”

Temporarily putting aside the shock that Tao Yu might be of Catastrophe Level, Long Yin’er spoke with a grave tone.

In fact, she had some speculations and thoughts of her own, and she hadn’t been too surprised when she was attacked before.

But speculation was speculation, and reality was reality!

“Yes, I followed along to see what was happening, and after some questioning, I learned about your situation.

They have also confirmed that your grandmother is seriously injured and might not be able to take action much longer.”

Tao Yu’s words left Long Yin’er somewhat silent.

Moreover, the fact that Tao Yu produced Sid’s signature weapon made this possibility seem extremely likely.

…

“They have a purpose, and I think I know what it is.”

Despite the pressure, Long Yin’er had some ideas.

The adversaries were probably targeting her Demon Dragon bloodline.

Coupled with the previous attack, with continuous pressure, the likelihood of her compromising with the Aphis family was quite significant!

No, it was even possible to say that if they continued like this, she was almost certain to compromise.

While her grandmother was still alive, she might be able to hold them off, but once her grandmother passed away, if she hadn’t broken through to Catastrophe Level, things would probably become very troublesome.

And it was no easy feat to break through to Catastrophe Level.

Even with her bloodline and talent, she needed sufficient time to accumulate experience and power.

She might even choose to compromise while her grandmother was still alive to sell herself at the highest price.

Although Long Yin’er found the tactics of the Aphis family despicable, she truly hadn’t found a better ally before!

However…

Long Yin’er looked up at Tao Yu with a burning gaze, and spoke with a slightly low and husky magnetic voice,

“Is Mr.

Klein Catastrophe Level?

Sid said he couldn’t find out your identity; that must be a pseudonym, right?”

“It’s just a name.”

Tao Yu looked at Long Yin’er and then revealed his purpose for coming,

“I’ve come to understand your predicament, and I can help, but I will need compensation.”

Long Yin’er took a deep breath to steady her heaving chest and then responded in as calm a tone as possible,

“Of course, my current situation is such that I simply cannot find a suitable power to assist me.

If you are willing to help, it’s only natural that you’d want a reward, but since the division of our family, what I have on hand is limited and might not satisfy Mr.

Klein.”

At this point, Long Yin’er suddenly smiled seductively,

“How about…”

“Yuan Force is also acceptable.”

Tao Yu interrupted, not minding the idea of a free deal, but if she intended to reduce the Yuan Force he was owed by offering something else, that was absolutely not acceptable!

“Uhh…”

Tao Yu’s sudden interjection left Long Yin’er briefly dumbfounded, even feeling a bit defeated and doubting her own charm.

But perhaps it made sense; to a master of his level, crude carnal desires were uninteresting; the only concern might be whether she could produce heirs to continue the bloodline.

But being content with just Yuan Force seemed a bit too dismissive, so much so that it felt somewhat unreal to Long Yin’er.

Though the output of Yuan Force was limited, an individual of considerable power wouldn’t lack it; rather, what was more often in short supply were rare skills, items, or bloodlines like her own.

Being willing to help for Yuan Force might be good, but it could also signal a rather bad situation.

Because it meant she would have to give up a considerable amount of it.

Yuan Force wasn’t omnipotent, but without it, one certainly couldn’t do anything.

The Yuan Force that she and her grandmother brought in amounted to just three or four hundred million, and she couldn’t possibly give it all away.

This made Long Yin’er bite her lip, then she sighed,

“This is a big decision; I need to discuss it with my grandmother.

𝕟𝗈𝘷𝕘𝗼.co

Would Mr.

Klein mind?”

“Of course not.”

Tao Yu had clearly come with the intent to take on a big job, and it was perfectly fine for Long Yin’er’s grandmother to be involved.

Moreover, he wasn’t at all worried they couldn’t reach an agreement.

Aside from leveraging his own power, he also had a considerable skill set in healing.

In theory, the Reincarnation Technique could address almost any injury; it was just a matter of how effective the treatment would be.

No matter how bizarre the injury or curse, forcefully infusing Life Force could alleviate it to some extent; the most it might do was fail to completely eliminate some thorny issues.

For someone else, this would likely be a headache, as their own life energy is limited; this would be far too extravagant.

But for Tao Yu, who possesses the “Proof of Eternity,” theoretically, providing an energy source in the form of food to replenish it, or simply using Yuan Force to restore it, would allow great feats to be performed.

However, the injured party was of Catastrophe Level, with considerable mass, so Tao Yu’s infusion of life energy also couldn’t be too conspicuous.

No matter what, preserving one’s own secrets took the highest priority…

…

“Please forgive me, Mr.

Klein, for my poor health which prevented me from meeting you earlier.”

In a room of the same hotel, Tao Yu looked at the woman before him, elegant in her white attire, exuding a celestial air, and was rather surprised.

Even though Lady Long’s grandmother wore a white veil, the delicate features of her face were faintly visible beneath it.

There was an ethereal, otherworldly feel to her.

That sort of sickly beauty, paradoxically, added a touch of coolness and fragility.

It seemed that the term ‘grandmother’ had been a bit of a misunderstanding.

Worthy of saving…

“Greetings to Lady Long, you are too kind.”

Tao Yu did not exhibit any dominance, knowing that he was there to discuss a business deal worth hundreds of millions, not to devour Lady Long or her granddaughter.

“Yin’er has informed me of the situation you discovered, Mr.

Klein.

I am thankful for your effort in coming to warn us.”

Lady Long bowed slightly, appearing frail, but the slender grace of her waist was topped with a maturity and fullness greater than that of Long Yin’er.

“However, please understand, Mr.

Klein, that our resources are now limited, so we must ensure each one is put to practical use.

I would like to witness your strength first.”

Lady Long’s eyes, clear as autumn water, rested on Tao Yu, expressing her concerns openly and directly.

“As you should.”

Tao Yu merely pondered for a moment, considering which ability to display.

He definitely wouldn’t reveal his healing powers just yet.

He’d avoid using anything linked to his other identities; in just an instant, he raised his hand, and an ice crystal appeared in his palm.

It was Esdeath’s power!

That extreme cold was firmly controlled by Tao Yu within his grasp, affecting both Lady Long and Long Yin’er, stirring their expressions.

Though Long Yin’er lacked the strength, her eyesight was keen.

She could deeply sense the terror of the extreme cold!

On her, it would be lethal!

Yet such a formidable attack took the form of a small ice crystal, firmly controlled in the opponent’s palm.

How terrifying that was!

“With that, I am reassured.

Please state your conditions, Mr.

Klein.”

“I want three hundred million Yuan Force.”

Tao Yu directly stated his price, which caused both Long Yin’er and Lady Long to pause.

To be honest, involving a Catastrophe Level in such a troublesome matter, and with a high likelihood of confronting an adversarial Catastrophe Level, simply asking for Yuan Force, asking for three hundred million was not an unreasonable demand.

Their situation was different from other large, wealthy families.

Even though their family’s accumulated resources and heritage had diminished, making them lightly equipped for battle.

But they were also freed from the constraints and burdens of the family.

The Huang Family had to set aside ample liquid funds for emergencies, but they didn’t need to.

If the issue could be resolved, they could accept paying out almost all of their Yuan Force.

However…

They couldn’t guarantee that the other party would follow through after receiving payment.

Even if a contract could be signed, it couldn’t be too strict and was still susceptible to loopholes.

If the other party was unwilling, even merely delays in time would become a major inconvenience.

Therefore, after a moment of contemplation, Lady Long looked up at Tao Yu and sighed lightly,

“We can agree to the conditions.

We trust in your character, Mr.

Klein, so we won’t sign a contract.

We can pay fifty million Yuan Force upfront.

The rest will be provided in full upon the successful resolution of our issues…”
