Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds-Chapter 398 - 398 Small Matter

398 Small Matter

“I’ll lose to you once too. How about it?”

Hearing Kang De say this, Santos’ eyes immediately lit up.

One sentence was enough to talk to smart people.

What about Santos and the others? The Chief Marketing Officer of the Dragon Defense Company, the marketing manager. He had joined the Dragon Defense Company as a human and was a grandmaster-level worker recognized by the dragons.

What he usually did was shamelessly promote and raise the price. He seamlessly switched between pretending to be a grandson and being a master. He had also hired a large number of bards and playwrights to be navy and wildly speculated the concept of a Dragoon everywhere. He had also spent a large sum of money to invite scholars to speak. He had promoted the threat theory of the elves everywhere and exclaimed that the dragon was invincible.

In order to monopolize the dragon corpse business, he even used methods like placing orders, committing murder, robbing, creating momentum, taking revenge, and defaming. The goal of everything was only to make the security goods of the Dragon Defense Company sell better.

They were the top tools of the Dragon Clan.

Such a person had fought in the business world and seen many storms. He treated his conscience and integrity as nothing and had countless methods. Basically, with just a raise of Kang De’s butt, he knew what the other party was going to poop.

—Little guy, fake competition.

Santos was not shocked, but happy.

This time, redeeming the corpse was only an excuse. He was actually here to see Kang De and discuss business.

When talking about business, the most important thing was to figure out the temper, identity, and requests of the client. It was one thing to talk to the nobles, but it was another to talk to the king. It was another thing to talk to the general.

Among all kinds of clients, peerless experts were the most troublesome.

This was because experts meant that they had a temper, which meant that their temperaments were difficult to figure out. It meant that they were more temperamental and willful than ordinary people. The stronger they were, the harder it was to serve them, because they did not have any worries.

Kang De had used a forbidden curse to break through the elite soldiers of Twilight and deter the continent. He was undoubtedly a peerless expert.

There were also differences in personalities between peerless experts.

He was a worker on Dragon Island. He could see the so-called experts almost every day. Humans were all different, and dragons had all kinds of different temperaments. There were psychological abnormalities like the One Punch Dragon Lady, who was black-bellied and sharp, and there were also heroic pragmatists like the Dragon Emperor. There were also dragons who were not polluted and were so simple that they were a little cute. There were also many cunning, selfish, treacherous, and greedy dragons.

There were even more arrogant, conceited, old-fashioned, and inflexible dragons.

Most people rarely saw a peerless expert in their lives. Santos saw them every day on Dragon Island. If he interacted with them too many times, he had to be distant. Santos admired pragmatists like the Dragon Emperor the most and could not stand an unpredictable pervert like the One Punch Dragon Lady. He actually did not hate those cunning, greedy, selfish, and cunning dragons. If he had desires and requests, he had a way to control and use them.

What he could not stand the most was that old-fashioned, conceited, and arrogant old dragon.

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was the honor of the dragon race. As long as he shut up, it was the dignity of the Dragon Island. If he glared at him, he would be a lowly human. He would talk about the previous Dragon Emperor. His words were no longer the same Dragon Island as before. He was noisy, had many rules, and was full of nonsense. He always had inexplicable persistence in some places.

If Kang De was also such a guy who “had the dignity, persistence, pride, and integrity of an expert”, it would be very troublesome. Fortunately, that was not the case. This Prince Kang De was actually a wonderful person.

In order to salvage the financial crisis of Dragon Island, Santos naturally had a plan and plan in his heart. However, even he, who had an extremely huge imagination and an extremely wide train of thought, did not dare to have the thought of persuading Kang De to fight a fake match. The reason was none other than that “the pride of a peerless expert” was really too fatal.

He killed the Dragoon as if he was killing a chicken. If you let him lose, wouldn’t he lose face?

Kang De said, “I don’t mind.”

—It was the blessing of a pragmatist!

This was great!

With just a sentence, a detailed follow-up plan appeared in Santos’s mind. Wonderful, wonderful.

However, he still had to do superficial work.

He waved his hand repeatedly and said in shock, “No, no, no, that’s not appropriate. Your Highness rushed to Red Maple City to help this time and defeated the Elven Expeditionary Force. You ordered the Phoenix King to retreat and shook the continent. Your name resounded throughout the world. Such a huge reputation and battle results helped our company resolve the situation. This favor is too great, too great. I can’t accept it…”

“Sigh, what reputation? It’s just an empty reputation. I won’t mind. Moreover, to be honest, I’m in the limelight too much this time, so I have to…”

Kang De placed one arm on the table and reached out to slash with the other. “—Press down.”

“I understand, I understand.”

Santos said sincerely, “However, gold will glow wherever it goes. You’re like a sword in a cloth bag. No matter how you hide it, the sharpness will pierce the cloth bag and reveal itself. It can’t be suppressed.”

The two of them laughed at the same time.

After laughing for a while, Santos sighed, “Aiya, Your Highness is so generous. It was originally a battle on the battlefield and we have no complaints about losing. We should swallow the bitter fruit ourselves and shamelessly discuss it with Your Highness. We were already very guilty. Who knew that Your Highness was actually so benevolent and generous? No, we have to repay you heavily.”

Santos was a smart guy.

Kang De said that he did not mind his reputation and was telling the truth.

However, if a peerless expert did not mind his reputation, it did not mean that he had given him face for free and could step on it as he pleased. Instead, he wanted to use this empty face to exchange for some more substantial benefits.

Coincidentally, this time, the defense of the Dragon Clan wanted face.

This was because this empty face could earn back reputation, face in front of clients, and bargaining power to recover the losses of the business. Therefore, to the dragons, this business was more important than reputation.

Then a win-win business could be done.

Santos placed his hands on the table and said firmly, “Your Highness, tell me a number.”

Kang De smiled and waved his hand. “Let’s not talk about money. Let’s talk about money.”

That was something that money could not buy.

What did Dragon Island produce? Dragons.

There were living dragons and dead dragons.

Santos immediately said, “How many dragon scales, dragon blood, and teeth do you want? Name a number and I can make the decision. The dragon eye and dragon bone are a little troublesome. We have to get the approval of the Dragon Emperor. The board of directors will discuss the dragon heart.”

Kang De thought about it carefully and could not help but feel a chill.

The Dragon Clan captured those evil dragons with very bad reputations, which were also those who did not agree with the Dragon Emperor’s political opinions. Those who privately walked through caves and destroyed the interests of the Dragon Defense Company were all imprisoned in the Sun Prison and modified. They were provided with good food and drinks. There was also medical personnel on standby 24 hours a day who were also concerned about the mental health of the prisoners. After all, all of this was for the benefit of Dragon Island. If he did not ensure that the prisoners were in good condition, how could he harvest them alive?

Dragon scales, dragon blood, and dragon teeth were naturally something that he could take as many as he wanted. The dragon eye and dragon bone were destructive harvests. With the approval of the Dragon Emperor, the dragon heart had to kill the dragon. Therefore, he had to discuss and vote together with the board of directors… The rules were really strict, the system was sound, and it was too weak.

He waved his hand and said, “There’s no hurry, no hurry…”

—Sigh, if you don’t want these, why did you keep the dragon corpse?

Then he must have other motives.

...

If he did not want a dead dragon, he must want it alive.

The cold and beautiful face of the Dragon Lady appeared in his mind. He thought of Kang De’s preferences that he had analyzed earlier. He had to have a noble status and be powerful… So that was the case!

D*mn, no wonder he took such a long detour and waited for him here.

Santos did not find Kang De’s appetite strange. He was the culprit who had hired the navy to advocate for the Dragoons to stir-fry chicken sticks everywhere. How did he brag? A power contract with the dragons? The ultimate knight who galloped in the sky? The top deterrence force on the continent?

Wrong! Although these were important, they were not the most important. He had found many bards and playwrights. The main plot was not how powerful the Dragoon was, but the love between the Dragoon and the dragon. The female dragon would definitely be ignorant. She was proud at first, but after becoming a human, she could not take care of herself. She had to ask the knight to help take care of her. After taking care of her, they went to bed.

The marketing was a huge success.

As a result, the employment price of young female dragons was two to three times that of adult male dragons, even if they signed a strict employment contract.

This was also one of the ultimate confusing actions of humans spread on Dragon Island.

Of course, the second law of confusion indicated that bewitching actions were often relative.

For example, on Dragon Island, many adult male dragons were re-cultivating their transformation spells or begging a transformation spell master to help them customize their appearance and practice fake voices. The goal was to lie about their age and become dragons and young girls. They could immediately get three times their salary. How worth it.

Santos had signed many orders over the years and had seen all kinds of people. However, Master Kang De’s taste was indeed ferocious. He actually took a fancy to the young lady outside at a glance…

...

He felt pity and wanted to remind this kind person that his pity was entangled with the excitement of watching the commotion. He was really in a dilemma.

On the other hand, Kang De did not know what he was thinking at all. He rolled up his sleeves and slapped the table, “Don’t think about what you’re giving me first. I don’t want anything else now but to reattach the Dragon Emperor’s leg! Let’s resolve the matter between you and the Dragon Emperor first. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease holding this benefit!”

—Good lord, you want to show kindness first before repaying me. It’s hard on you. Does the Phoenix King know that you’re working so hard for women?

Santos cursed in his mind, but he smiled. “Your Highness is really benevolent!”

Kang De asked, “What were we talking about?”

Santos smiled. “A fake match.”

Kang De nodded and said, “Emissary, even if I lose, I have to have an excuse. I have to act well. Look, a few days ago, I defeated three dragons at once. It’s not appropriate to be defeated by one this time, right?”

“It’s not suitable.”

Santos had long thought of a plan and immediately replied.

“Our recent main product is the dragon cavalry battle group formed by the seven-dragon formation. We’ve also launched a short-term employment contract exclusive to high-level dragons. There are seven.”

He spread his fingers with one hand and raised two fingers with the other, “Seven. Moreover, they’ll be led by the upper-level dragon to form an attack formation and carry out a combined attack of dragon magic to defeat Your Highness and force you back. How about it?”

Kang De gave a thumbs up. “How extravagant.”

“This can increase the client’s confidence. If Your Highness has no objections, the focus of our publicity will revolve around this. In the sky, only the dragons can fight you. As long as there are enough, we can gain the upper hand. We can’t say that we’ll win steadily, but it’s not a problem to force you back.”

Santos asked, “What do you think?”

Kang De nodded and said, “In principle, yes. Why don’t you add another rule?”

The Chief Marketing Officer asked, “What’s wrong?”

Kang De said expressionlessly, “After this battle, although both sides announced victory, Goethe had a deep impression of the dominance and combat strength displayed by the dragons. They were the first to sign a contract with the defense of the dragons and introduce the dragon battle group as an important force to protect Goethe’s national security…”

Santos was stunned for a moment, then jumped up. “Wonderful!”

Kang De smiled and said, “Then the price? Name a number.”

Santos chuckled.

“Of course, it’s an additional 20% above the market price. Goethe will pay. After the dragon formation is handed over, this money will be returned to Your Highness…”

Kang De did not know whether to laugh or cry. ‘You’re very skilled.’

He waved his hand and said, “No, no, no. I’m not interested in money.”

Santos praised, “A dragon formation is used to please your lover and pick up girls to your level. You’re the only one in the entire continent. I’m impressed.”

Kang De said, “Then how about this? The money you brought today will be treated as an employment fee. How to deal with it is up to you and the Dragon Emperor. If it’s not enough, we’ll pay a little more…”

“Enough, enough. I can even give more to Your Highness.”

Santos smiled and said, “I’ll personally choose the dragon. I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied…”

The two of them stood up at the same time, held hands, and smiled at each other.

The general direction had been decided, so the details were not a problem.

“Oh, right.”

Kang De seemed to have thought of something and said, “There’s also the matter of the dragon corpse… Since this matter has already been explained, there’s no need for you to hide it. I can’t take out the third dragon corpse.”

Santos asked curiously, “Why?”

Kang De sighed, “It was smashed by the forbidden curse… The corpse is tragic, and only a little is left. It’s very ugly. If I give it to you, I’m afraid that you will be angry, so I don’t know what to do…”

Santos looked at Kang De a few times and suddenly asked, “Your Highness won’t use it as a bone dragon, right?”

Kang De shook his head like a rattle drum. “No, no, no. I’m not interested.”

“Then it’s fine.”

Santos smiled. “These are all small matters. Leave them to me. No problem.”

Kang De patted his shoulder. “Thank you.”

Santos hurriedly said that it was fine and pretended to complain, “Why didn’t Your Highness say so earlier? I thought you wanted to detain the dragon corpse and almost misunderstood Your Highness.”

Kang De smiled and said, “I’m ashamed, I’m ashamed. I’m afraid of Dragon Island.”

“Your Highness is too humble.”

The two of them laughed happily.

Yes, it was a small matter.

Only after the big matter was negotiated would this matter become a small matter.
