The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

"This is completely different from what we've been hearing!"

"Didn't you just announce last night that you possess at least ten thousand vials of the panacea?!"

That last sentence was like a drop of water splashed into a pot of boiling oil.

The crowd was in a frenzy!

When their own interests are divided, everyone becomes agitated.

Ten thousand became one hundred?

This reduction is outrageous!

Is there even a need for negotiation?!

Wang Tian's heart jumped into his throat.

He was just a newcomer responsible for taking notes and didn't know the details of the negotiation.

He subconsciously looked at Ryōsaku, only to see the chubby leader still sitting there as steady as a mountain, his smile unchanged.

He let the questions and roars echo in the meeting hall, and even picked up his teacup with interest, blowing on the tea leaves floating on it.

He only slowly put down his teacup when the noise in the entire venue reached its peak.

The bottom of the cup collided with the table, making a crisp "click".

The voice was very soft, yet it miraculously drowned out all the noise.

This quieted everyone down.

You Liangce raised his head, looked at the representative who was shouting the loudest, and spoke with a smile.

"Just because you have something in your pocket, does that mean you have to give it all away?"

The representative was taken aback.

"You have good things, but instead of using them with your own people first, you share them with outsiders?"

Yoshiaki's speaking pace remained unhurried.

"Sir, since you are so generous and magnanimous..."

His chubby finger pointed at the representative from a distance.

"Then, how about you share some of your money with me?"

"I......"

The representative's face instantly turned a deep liver color, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Everyone was rendered speechless by this simple, crude, yet irrefutable logic.

Yes.

Why should someone give you all their savings?

Just because you need it?

Wang Tian was writing furiously in his notebook.

In the eerie silence, Smith, who had been looking down at the documents, suddenly looked up.

A faint smile always lingered on his face.

"I have no objection."

The moment he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.

"The Dragon Kingdom has its own considerations, which is normal. I only have one question now."

If the item is in someone else's hands and they won't hand it over, what can a group of people do but whine and complain?

Instead of arguing about these pointless things, let's get down to business.

Smith interlaced his fingers on the table and leaned forward slightly.

"How do we trade those panaceas? With money, gold, or... something else?"

Smith emphasized the words "something else".

His orders this time were that he had to obtain the panacea, no matter what conditions the other party offered.

The more the better.

Even if the other party's condition is the corpse of a "super beast", it doesn't matter!

However, they did not know that the Dragon Kingdom had no interest in the 'super beast' corpse that they treasured.

However, this question immediately drew everyone's attention away from "quantity" and towards "price".

Most people held their breath.

They stared intently at Yoshiaki, waiting for him to name his price.

However, a small number of people were swayed by the trend. They had their own purposes, whether it was to curry favor or for other considerations, and continued to observe.

Their considerations are different.

They knew their own strength, and rather than fighting tooth and nail for these few potions, they preferred to make a good impression on certain people.

Once they replicate the potion, they can purchase it at a low price.

I'm here today only to gather information, not because of the medicine itself.

Ryosuke's smile widened even further.

He extended a chubby finger and gently shook it.

"Money? Gold? No, no, no, this time, we want something real."

He paused for a moment: "For example... supplies."

"One universal potion can be exchanged for supplies worth 100 million, of all types."

boom!

If the previous hundred items were bombs, then this 100 million supplies are a nuclear bomb!

It exploded in the minds of everyone in the conference hall!

The scene instantly descended into chaos, but everyone remained hidden behind the crickets, none daring to confront Yurasu directly.

"He's insane! This guy must be insane!"

"One dose of medicine for 100 million worth of supplies?! That's so expensive! Why doesn't he just rob us?!"

Moreover, what they wanted was strange; they didn't even want gold, but instead wanted those supplies.

What's wrong?

Is life in China unbearable now?!

Just as the entire arena descended into chaos once again, Smith, who had remained silent, breathed a long sigh of relief.

supplies?

Just 100 million worth of supplies?

What kind of condition is this...?

As for supplies, you can buy them anywhere in the world if you have money.

Only fools can only see the tiny bit of immediate benefit.

For him, anything that can be bought with money is not considered a real thing.

As long as the Dragon Kingdom doesn't want the corpse of the "Super Beast," everything is negotiable!

Even when he heard that it was supplies, Smith's expression faltered for a moment.

It wasn't shock, it was delight.

Smith smiled and looked up.

Looking at the group of fools still arguing heatedly about "price" and "fairness," Smith's lips curled into a mocking smile.

A bunch of short-sighted fools.

Is now the time to argue about these things?

There are too many wolves and not enough meat. Whoever grabs it first will gain the upper hand!

Once they obtain the drug, they will use the country's top scientific research capabilities to replicate it.

By then, everything you put in today will be earned back a thousandfold!

Those who are still nitpicking will only miss opportunities and eventually be eliminated!

With that in mind, Smith no longer hesitated.

He suddenly raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the table.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound successfully attracted everyone's attention.

"I have no objection!"

Smith stood up and announced directly to Yoshiaki in a loud and decisive voice.

"One dose of medicine, and supplies worth one hundred million—we accept this offer!"

His words stunned the representatives who had just been united in their hatred of the enemy.

They stared at Smith in disbelief, as if he were a traitor.

That's not what they said before.

What happened to our shared hatred of the enemy?!

However, Smith completely ignored their gazes. He leaned forward, stared intently at Yoshiaki, and posed a more crucial question.

"Now, I only have one question: how can I get the potion as quickly as possible?"

These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly waking everyone up.

Arguing is pointless.

The quantity of medicine is limited. If Smith gets it first, they won't even get a sip!

In an instant, everyone's mindset changed.

Just a moment ago I thought 100 million was an astronomical price, but now I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to make a bid.

As Ryōse looked at the diverse expressions of the people below the stage, his smile became even more endearing.
