I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

By completely removing Piltover from this business, she gains the opportunity to monopolize Bilgewater.

But now that the warship refitting has come to an end, Renata naturally has no right to continue participating in Jaggu and Bilgewater's next negotiations.

Knowing that persistence would only backfire, Renata bowed to the Empress and Folgosseran before taking her leave with Pete and Jagu.

..........

Finally, only Jaguar, Foyego, and the Empress remained in the palace.

“Please have a seat, Mr. Jaguar.”

"I think we can talk about this slowly."

Fóyego said with a smile, his tone still as gentle as ever.

Jagu nodded, then sat down again in the chair behind him.

Feuergo didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the pale throne with Sarah.

Upon seeing this, a glint of light flashed in Jagu's eyes.

"I wonder if there's anything else this gentleman would like to discuss?"

Without hesitation, Jagu asked directly.

Since the other party had turned away everyone, including Lenata Grassco, they naturally wanted to speak with him privately.

This also means that only he could do this, or rather... only Hextech could do it!

Otherwise, the alchemist baron from the bottom city would still be here.

Jagu didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, so he decided to just be frank and speak plainly.

At this moment, both sides are negotiating from a relatively fair standpoint.

"Then I'll tell you straight."

"I admire Piltover's Hextech technology."

“I think Bilgewater could definitely cooperate with Piltover on a deeper level.”

"I believe Mr. Jagut also came with this purpose in mind."

Foygo spoke slowly, his expression neither sad nor happy, making it impossible for Jagu to discern the slightest emotional fluctuation from his face.

"Oh?"

Please enlighten me...

Jagu squinted, pondering the deeper meaning in Foygo's words.

"For example, Bilgewater could contribute to the development of Hextech."

"To collaborate with Piltover."

"While we don't have a technological advantage, we can offer something else."

"For example...funds."

Foljego said meaningfully, with an air of "I'm a rich dog."

Upon hearing this, Jagu looked surprised.

He went to great lengths, traveling all the way to Bilgewater and waiting for nearly a month.

What for?

To put it bluntly, it's all about making money.

What did he just hear? This tycoon in front of him was willing to directly fund Hextech's research?

What does this amount to?

It's like you're trying your best to sell something to the person in front of you.

But to everyone's surprise, after all that talking, the other person still showed no intention of buying.

In the end, they just tell you directly.

"Young man, I can see you've had a tough time. Don't bother selling this stuff. Here's a bank card with a million in it. Take it and spend it..."

Who wouldn't be confused by this feeling?

Jagu was stunned and stared at Foygo in disbelief, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Did he hear that right? Or was this man just teasing him?

Jagu subconsciously shifted his gaze to the Empress, wanting to see her reaction.

But the Empress remained calm, showing no sign of objection whatsoever, as if everything was as it should be.

"His words are my meaning."

"You can understand it that way."

As if the shock to Jaggu wasn't enough, the Empress dealt Jaggu another blow.

Jagu is now completely dumbfounded.

"However, we have certain requirements regarding the direction of our research."

"Furthermore, Bilgewater has the right to apply the research findings first."

"how?"

Foygo smiled again, an expression that, in Jagu’s eyes, was almost identical to that of the “Holy Mother.”

This unexpected windfall, which was almost a "free gift," left Jagu somewhat dumbfounded.

"this........"

"of course can."

Jagul agreed. It was like a windfall; wouldn't he be a fool not to agree?

Faced with the lure of financial support, Foygo's request was utterly insignificant.

"So good."

"How about this."

"We are willing to purchase ten Hextech power cores to equip ten warships in the First Fleet."

"This is just a token of my sincerity."

"This fleet will also serve as a testament to our cooperation."

Fóyego reiterated that this was a preliminary offer of some "small benefits."

"of course can."

Suppressing his excitement, Jagu quickly agreed.

You should know that this deal, which may seem like a "small profit," is actually quite substantial!

Hextech power cores are extremely expensive; a warship using a Hextech power core costs eight times more than one using an alchemy power furnace!

These ten Hextech powered warships are equivalent to eighty alchemy powered warships!

It's worth noting that the entire Bilgewater fleet, including all its warships, only has around three hundred vessels.

This number is after Sarah expanded the army after unifying the kingdom.

In other words, Lena's seemingly huge order was only three or four times more valuable than Jagu's "insignificant" ten warships.

Chapter 199, Brother, You've Gained Weight

Even in Jaguar's previous estimates, he only predicted that Bilgewater could purchase a maximum of around thirty Hextech Cores.

The current outcome has completely exceeded Jagu's expectations.

It even exceeded his expectations.

Then, Foygo briefly explained his intentions regarding the results of his Hextech research and the amount of investment he planned to make.

Upon hearing the figure for the investment, Jagu's breathing quickened slightly.

It's easy to imagine how enormous this sum of money will be.

........

Jagu tilted his head back, a hint of flattery in his smile.

At this moment, Jagu had already succumbed to the rich man's money offensive.

Finally, everything was settled, and Jagu's face was filled with a warm smile.

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Jagu."

Foygo said with a smile, his expression remaining unchanged throughout.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you, sir."

Jagu echoed Foygo's words, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know the name of this mysterious man.

But none of that matters; what matters is that this cooperation was reached.
