Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats-Chapter 321: The Art of Negotiation

From the beginning, the Greenfire Sect never cared about the Lin Family, and the only reason they protected them for the last 200 years was because of the Heavenly Artifact they offered to the Sect.

However, after the Blood Message in the Greenspire Town, the Hermit Tribe got permission to kill the Lin Family.

Now that the Lin Family has not only survived the war but also possesses a Magical Spirit Beast, the Greenfire Sect visited them with amicable smiles.

"What do you say? By now, the news about the Magical Fish has already spread to the other regions, and soon, they will knock on your doors."

Ranulf maintained the smile as he reminded Cedric that the Magical Fish would bring disaster to the Lin Family.

What Ranulf said was entirely true!

The [Eternal Shadow Guild] has already spread the news about the appearance of the Magical Fish at an extremely high price to its wealthy clients like Top Sects, Hermit Tribes of the other regions and the Nascent Soul Realm Individuals.

So, it won’t be long before they pay a visit to the Lin Family for the Magical Fish, and they won’t be as generous as Ranulf, the representative of the Greenfire Sect.

"T-this...."

Cedric was unable to speak properly under the Nascent Soul Realm aura released by Ranulf, who wanted to intimidate Cedric and others in the hall.

With his cultivation, if Ranulf wanted to force his way, he could directly capture Cedric; however, as a representative of a ’Righteous Sect’, he couldn’t do such evil things.

As for the reason why he released his cultivation pressure, it was to intimidate others, so that they could not think much and just give in to the offer he made.

"When you say ’Fair Compensation’, can we ask what it is?"

However, such external pressure didn’t have any effect on Ethan as he calmly asked Ranulf to explain more about the Fair Compensation.

’T-this brat....why is he not affected by my aura?’

Ranulf was surprised to see that ’Master Ethan’ remained unfazed and even spoke in a calm tone.

Previously, Ranulf thought that ’Master Ethan’ must be some old man who had received some help from the Green Lotus Tribe’s elders in the past.

However, after seeing him in person, even with a mask on, Ranulf knew that Ethan was not very old ... .maybe 50 years or even younger.

What surprised him more was how calm and composed this ’Master Ethan’ was in his cultivation presence.

’Looks like the report about this ’Master Ethan’ being in charge of the Lin Family is true.’

Ranulf only thought about it for a moment before focusing on his current mission. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"In exchange for the Heavenly Spirit Beast, the Greenfire Sect will offer the Lin Family’s.....no, the Green Lotus Tribe’s Heavenly Artifact."

Ranulf knew that the Lin Family would definitely accept the deal as long as he gave them their Tribe’s Artifact.

He also added, "Along with that, the Sect will stop the Hermit Tribes from sending any Nascent Soul Realm."

The deal with the Hermit Tribes regarding not sending out their Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators was still intact. So, this added term was nothing for the Greenfire Sect.

"Will you really return the Green Lotus Tribe’s Heavenly Artifact?"

Ethan was pleasantly surprised that the Greenfire Sect would be so generous.

’Master Ethan, only when a tribe member uses the tribe’s Heavenly Artifact, will it be fully utilised.’

Suddenly, Etha heard Cedric’s voice transmission in his head as he explained, ’Right now, my tribe’s Heavenly Artifact is not really a Heavenly Artifact in the Sect’s hands.’

’Is that so? No wonder they are willing to exchange that Heavenly Artifact for Celea.’

Ethan realised what the Greenfire Sect was trying to do but he remained calm and composed.

"Supreme Elder Ranulf, your offer is good...to be honest, it is generous."

Ethan’s eyes, hidden behind his mask, flashed with a strange gleam as he paused for a second, then calmly added, "However, instead of the Green Lotus Tribe’s Heavenly Artifact... I wish to pick one of the Heavenly Artifacts currently in the Sect’s possession."

The moment those words fell, the entire room went quiet for a heartbeat.

Ranulf, despite being a seasoned cultivator with unshakable composure, narrowed his eyes ever so slightly because he hadn’t expected that the Lin Family would willingly give up on reclaiming their ancestral artifact.

"...You want to exchange the Celestial Spring Koi Fish for a different Heavenly Artifact?" Ranulf repeated, confirming with a calm tone.

However, he looked at Cedric because Cedric was the only person who really knew how important the Ancestral Artifact was for the Lin Family.

On the other hand, Cedric didn’t know what Ethan was trying to do; however, he remained silent.

The Celestial Spring Koi Fish was Ethan’s pet and he had no right to ask Ethan to get them their tribe’s Heavenly Artifact by exchanging his Heavenly Pet.

"Whatever Master Ethan says, we will follow it."

So, he put Ethan as the one in charge to negotiate regarding the exchange of the Magical Fish.

As soon as Cedric said those words, Ethan started speaking, "The Greenfire Sect has many powerful Heavenly Artifacts. I will pick the one that best suits our current situation."

"As for the Ancestral Artifact of the Green Lotus Tribe, it’s not useful for now."

Hearing Ethan’s words, Ranulf took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair.

He studied Ethan for a long moment before finally nodding, "...Very well. If that’s your decision, I won’t object. Once we finalize the exchange, you may choose one from the Sect’s Artifact Treasury."

"Thank you, Supreme Elder Ranulf. But..."

Ethan smiled lightly.

Ranulf raised an eyebrow. "There’s more?"

"Yes," Ethan nodded. "Just a few minor terms that I hope the Greenfire Sect can agree to and I can give you the Celestial Spring Koi Fish."

That’s right!

Ethan was planning to give the Celestial Spring Koi Fish to the Greenfire Sect because it was the only way the Lin Family could live in peace...at least for a few years.

Nevertheless, he had already planned something to get his Celestial Spring Koi Fish back.

Ranulf’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn’t interrupt and listened to Ethan’s terms and conditions.

"First, the entire Emerald Green Plains should know that the Lin Family is willingly giving up on the Celestial Spring Koi Fish to the Greenfire Sect ... .in exchange for the protection and not for any Heavenly Artifact."

"You are intelligent. I have no problem with it."

Ranulf didn’t think much and instantly agreed.

The Celestial Spring Koi Fish was a ticking time bomb in the hands of the Lin Family. So, it was a valid request and at the same time Ethan planned to hide the fact regarding the Heavenly Artifact he would be getting in exchange for the Celestial Spring Koi Fish.

"My second and last term is that we should use the Heavenly Oath that the Sect won’t backstab me or the Lin Family after we give you the Celestial Spring Koi Fish."

With that, Ethan ended his terms and waited for Ranulf’s decision.

Ethan wanted to add more conditions; however, he felt that Ranulf might get angry and use force.

’He is young but extremely careful.’

Ranulf was impressed with Ethan’s carefulness as he nodded his head.

"I, Ranulf of the Greenfire Sect, under the presence of the Heavens, swear on my Nascent Soul....."

"I, Ethan, representing the Lin Family, under the presence of the Heavens, swear on my Golden Core...."

As soon as both parties came to an agreement, they swore the Heavenly Oath, and a strange ripple surged in the skies above the Lin Family’s ancestral courtyard.

It was faint, invisible to the naked eye for ordinary mortals, but any cultivator could feel the silent binding force from the Heavens acknowledging the Oath.

"Let’s go, now."

Without further delay, Ranulf stood up, his long robe fluttering with a faint breeze that wasn’t there before.

"Master Ethan, Patriarch Cedric, follow me. We will head to the Greenfire Sect immediately."

"Yes, Supreme Elder."

Ethan silently nodded while Cedric responded with a polite smile.

’Swiish’

With a simple wave of Ranulf’s sleeve, a jade-colored talisman lit up in his hand and in the next second, a powerful spatial fluctuation surged from it.

Soon, a massive formation appeared beneath their feet, etched in golden runes and infused with a fire-green glow.

"Step in."

Without hesitation, Ethan and Cedric followed him into the teleportation array.

Woooosh—!

In the next instant, their figures disappeared into thin air.
