#209 - The Art of Negotiation
“Buzz ~ ~ ~ Buzz ~ ~ ~ Buzz ~ ~ ~”
“Hello ~ Aunt Liu?”
… …
“Yeah ~ I’m at the hotel.”
… …
“Out for a stroll? Skipping school? No way ~ I didn’t go anywhere, at most I just took a walk downstairs ~”
… …
“Oh, oh, the principal already called you, and you said I was in the hospital because I wasn't feeling well, hehehe ~ thank you.”
… …
“Yeah… Yeah… Got it.”
… …
“Don’t worry, just tell me what’s going on, I’m listening.”
… …
“… … Huh? Don't dwell on revenge anymore? Why?”
… …
“The other side has already given enough compensation? So what, no ~ Aunt Liu, is someone putting pressure on you from within the country?”
… …
“Really not? Just that the compensation is in place?”
… …
“But after all, you’re the one who suffered.”
… …
“Even with me? Even with me, you still suffered, have you forgotten how weak you were lying in bed before?”
… …
“Hey ~! We are a great nation of China, and Britannia is almost dying, do we lack their things? What compensation can they give us?”
… …
“Engine technology… Doesn't that still mean someone in the country is putting pressure on you?”
… …
“Oh ~ Voluntary, your family plans to invest in a factory in China using this technology…”
… …
“Then what about your matter, is it really just going to be settled like this?”
… …
“Chop off hands? How did you know I wanted to chop off people's hands? Hehehe ~ I just want to teach the people behind them a lesson, if they have the ability, let them grow another pair!”
… …
“Me? I’m not angry, aren’t I just venting your anger ~!”
… …
“Yeah ~ Okay, my condition, my condition ~ is that they rebuild my house for me.”
… …
“Okay, you’ve already said that, why am I still dwelling on it.”
… …
“Yeah, yeah ~ That’s it, okay, goodbye ~ Aunt Liu, I’ll go back to school in a couple of days ~”
“Pa Da ~” A soft sound.
After hanging up the phone, Liang Yue then threw the phone onto the bed, and then looked out the window with his hands on his waist, his face full of complex colors, faintly with a hint of pain.
“Knock knock ~”
After about five or six minutes, the door was knocked on.
Liang Yue went over to open the door and saw that the person who came was, as expected, Elizabeth.
At this time, this golden-haired girl had a face full of apology, her expression vaguely carrying a hint of timidity, and she was holding a small gift box in her hand.
However, the moment this woman saw Liang Yue, the expression on her face suddenly changed, and then she burst out laughing.
“What are you laughing at?”
Seeing this, Liang Yue asked a little strangely.
“Prepared for me?”
In just an instant, Elizabeth's delicate little face became radiant with smiles, and all her original melancholy disappeared.
After saying that, this golden-haired girl casually touched Liang Yue's chest, and then swaggered into the room.
Okay ~
At this time, he was still wearing that big white dog suit, chubby and furry all over, looking exceptionally cute and charming.
Only that dog head, because he was not used to making phone calls just now, was put into the storage space by him… …
“This wasn’t prepared for you! This is a set of magical equipment, I was just trying it on before!”
Seeing that this girl had misunderstood, Liang Yue quickly explained after closing the door.
“Really?”
Hearing this, Elizabeth turned her head and looked at him with a pair of smiling eyes.
“Of course, there is another one of this outfit!”
As he said that, Liang Yue suddenly moved his mind, and a huge dog head instantly covered his head, the bright red tongue constantly sticking out of the dog's mouth, perfectly integrated with the suit below the neck, without seeing any gaps.
At first glance, it looked like a standing Samoyed… …
“Wow ~ so cute! Where did you get it?”
Seeing this, Elizabeth in front of her immediately rushed into his arms, a look of intoxicating comfort on her face, and one hand was still constantly stroking the details of this white dog suit.
Finally, she stopped on the pair of pointed ears.
“I won’t tell you ~”
Saying that, Liang Yue threw this golden-haired girl onto the bed, and then he also lay on top of her, and then used the simulated tongue on the dog's head to constantly tease her face.
Elizabeth dodged with a smile, but in the end she couldn't escape, and could only lie there with her eyes closed.
After a long while, after the two of them were tired of being together, they finally began to gradually calm down.
Liang Yue once again threw the white dog's head into the storage space, and then quietly looked at the golden-haired girl under him, his eyes showing a bit of complexity.
“How is it, are you satisfied with my handling this time?”
Elizabeth also opened her eyes at this time, hugged his neck with both hands and asked.
“It’s just my Aunt Liu, who cares about the country and unconsciously puts too much burden on herself, almost putting her personal safety aside.”
Saying that, Liang Yue sat up from the bed, and his expression began to become a little serious.
Seeing this, the golden-haired girl under him continued to hug his neck and also sat up.
At the same time, the gift that had been held in her hand was also handed to him at this time.
“Yeah ~ This is for you.”
“What is this?”
“Didn’t you always say in front of others that the watch your girlfriend gave you was blown up, this new watch is for you.”
“Oh ~ This is not bad.”
Looking at the delicate light revealed under the opened box cover, Liang Yue knew almost without thinking that the watch this woman had brought now must be more expensive than the previous one.
In terms of workmanship, it also looks more exquisite and sophisticated.
In terms of gorgeousness, it can only be said to be roughly equivalent to the one that was destroyed before, without any vulgar diamond inlay, only some differences in the details.
At first glance, it has a feeling of not only being noble.
However ~ Even so.
This still couldn't dispel this guy's doubts about why these luxury goods could be sold so expensively.
However, since it had already been bought, Liang Yue naturally wouldn't refuse, so he stretched out a furry dog paw to Elizabeth.
“Huh?”
Looking at the white dog coat that was still draped over his body, he quickly moved his mind and put it into the storage space.
In an instant, Liang Yue's strong upper body was exposed to Elizabeth's eyes like this.
Seeing this, the golden-haired girl who was originally hugging his neck unconsciously looked over, and after a while, she became a little breathless.
After glancing at the neat abdominal muscles around his waist, this woman moved backward a little uncomfortably, wanting to leave.
But then, she was grabbed back by Liang Yue.
“Help me put it on.”
“Oh ~”
Hearing this, Elizabeth didn't resist anything, just sat on his lap, took out the watch from the box, and put it around his left wrist.
“Tell me, why is the reaction from your Britannia side so weak this time, I thought that even for the sake of the empire’s face, you should send a strong unit over to confront me head-on.”
Liang Yue's eyes became a little erratic at this time, looking at the slowly setting sun outside the window, his tone also carrying a bit of incomprehension.
“You’re thinking too much, we don’t have any strong units.”
Elizabeth replied with a faint smile on her face.
“How can you not have them, such as those magicians, or wizards or something ~”
Hearing this woman's words, Liang Yue immediately lowered his eyes, touched her golden hair and said.
“Stop joking, there are no strange things in this world, you are the most special person I have ever met.”
This golden-haired girl seemed very honest at this time, only picking some nice things to say.
“Aren’t you a witch?”
As soon as Liang Yue's words fell, Elizabeth, who was originally half-lying in his arms and putting on a watch for him, immediately stopped moving.
Then, this woman turned her head, looked at Liang Yue's serious expression, and gradually lowered her head.
After a long while, she bit her lip and said.
“How did you know?”
“I always knew.”
“When was it?”
“It was not long after we met.”
“… … Then what else do you know?”
“Well ~ I also know that you seem to have a talent that can copy some of my abilities.”
“… …”
“What I can confirm now is that you should have copied two abilities from me, one of which is 《Vitals Vanish》, and the other is 《Full Stomach HP Recovery》.
I heard that you witches can convert these copying abilities into magic that can be systematically learned, right?”
“Well… What are you going to do.”
After hearing Liang Yue's almost completely frank words, Elizabeth's mood also dropped to the bottom, and she just lay softly on him.
Lowering her head, she didn't dare to look directly into his eyes at all.
“What to do? Just do it, anyway, it doesn't hurt me, you're just copying, not ~ that, cutting… …”
Liang Yue said indifferently at this time.
“Huh? Aren’t you angry! You must know that 《Vitals Vanish》, and 《Full Stomach HP Recovery》, these two are super rare abilities, although the effects after being converted into magic cannot be compared with the original version.
But it is enough to change many things.”
After hearing his words, this golden-haired girl immediately raised her head, looked at him with a hint of cautious hope, and asked.
“This is what I allowed, otherwise, what do you think you could stay by my side for so long?”
As Liang Yue said, he pressed this woman on the bed again, looking at her seriously.
Faced with his scorching gaze, Elizabeth subconsciously closed her eyes, not daring to face his gaze, and asked in a low voice.
“Then what are you plotting?”
“That depends on what reward you can give me ~”
“I, I’m not ready yet… …”
“Some things don’t need to be prepared, just bravely accept them ~ Hehe!”
“… …”
… …
