"Manager Lu, Assistant Liu has explained everything that happened yesterday to me. I believe our cooperation..."

Before Zhao Xiongyu could finish speaking, Lu Yuan raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Mr. Zhao, I think I made the cooperation clear to Assistant Liu yesterday."

Lu Yuan looked up and glanced at Assistant Liu standing next to him, his expression revealing his true feelings.

Zhao Xiongyu said, "I came here specifically for this matter."

"Oh?" Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow. "As expected of Mr. Zhao, your actions are decisive! I knew it, thirty million is not expensive at all!"

Zhao Xiong Yu looked a little embarrassed. "...Actually, I wanted to ask Manager Lu if we could offer a discount."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's smile immediately faded.

"No, 30 million is already the lowest price."

Before Zhao Xiong Yu could say anything more, Lu Yuan spoke first:

"Mr. Zhao is a businessman, so he naturally understands the principle of not being too greedy. Thirty million for a chance to fuse bloodlines is something many people would love but can't buy."

Zhao Xiongyu understood the reasoning, but the price was far beyond his expectations.

Despite the Zhao family's good development in recent years, it is still just a company in a small town.

Compared to companies in big cities, it's still insignificant and incomparable.

Regardless of subordinates and employees, there are dozens of members from various branches of the Zhao family alone.

The Zhao family simply couldn't afford the price Lu Yuan was asking for if everyone's beasts could undergo bloodline fusion!

“I admit that Manager Lu’s words make sense,” Zhao Xiong Yu nodded. “But Manager Lu also needs to understand one thing: there aren’t many families that can come up with 30 million in one go. In the entire Yunlei City, apart from my Zhao family, you don’t have any other more suitable partners to cooperate with.”

Zhao Xiongyu spoke with an arrogant tone.

The situation in Yunlei City is tense at present, and the relationship between the three families and the city lord could change at any time.

Each company has invested its funds in improving its strength and other aspects, leaving no room to pay attention to the outside world.

It can be said that the Zhao family has the most funds available in the entire Yunlei City right now!

If Lu Yuan doesn't cooperate with him, who else can he cooperate with?

But he was wrong from the very beginning.

Lu Yuan gently put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao seems to have misunderstood something."

Zhao Xiongyu was puzzled and subconsciously asked, "What?"

"If it weren't for Zhao Qianqian's sake, I would never have been able to negotiate a cooperation with the Zhao family."

Lu Yuan glanced at me with a half-smile, "Look at the pet cubs displayed in my shop. Selling just one of them would be enough for me to live on for a lifetime. Why would I bother cooperating with you?"

Zhao Xiongyu looked in the direction Lu Yuan was pointing and saw low-level cubs displayed everywhere on the display case.

What's noteworthy is that their labels all indicate they have the bloodline of mythical beasts!

If it's all true, then it's exactly as Lu Yuan said: he had no need to cooperate with the Zhao family at all.

Thinking about this, Zhao Xiongyu became increasingly less confident.

"Manager Lu..."

Lu Yuan raised his hand to stop him, "Mr. Zhao, let's not waste each other's time. Thirty million is the bottom line I can accept. If you can't afford it, let's end the cooperation here."

After saying that, Lu Yuan got up to leave.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiongyu quickly stopped him, "Alright, alright, thirty million it is!"

Since it's impossible to fuse all the beasts' bloodlines, we can do it one at a time.

We must not let this opportunity slip by, no matter what.

If they miss this opportunity, who knows how many years it will take for the Zhao family to gain a foothold in Yunlei City.

If the Zhao family seizes this opportunity and makes good use of it, they can truly become a top family in Yunlei City and remain powerful for a hundred years!

Seeing that Zhao Xiong Yu finally relented, Lu Yuan secretly revealed a smile of triumph.

"Mr. Zhao, have you thought it through? Once you sign the contract, you can't go back on your word."

Zhao Xiong Yu gritted his teeth and nodded, "I've thought it through, let's sign the contract now!"

Zhao Xiongyu quickly took out the prepared contract and handed it directly to Lu Yuan, fearing that Lu Yuan might change his mind and raise the price at any moment.

Lu Yuan looked it over carefully, nodded and smiled, "The contract is fine, but..."

Zhao Xiongyu's heart jumped again.

"But please settle the cost of helping Yanbao fuse his bloodline yesterday," Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"..."

Zhao Xiongyu took out a blank check from his pocket and wrote down the amount of 60 million on it.

"The cost of the Flame Burst, and the cost of my beast taming."

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Zhao's beast taming also requires bloodline fusion?"

Zhao Xiong Yu nodded. "That's right."

Without wasting any time, he directly summoned his beast from his spatial storage.

A white wolf with snow-white fur appeared in everyone's sight.

In an instant, it felt like the temperature inside the store had dropped a few degrees.

"This is my tamed beast, named Bai Bing, a seventh-level Earth Spirit Icefield Wolf," Zhao Xiong Yu introduced.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

As expected of father and daughter, Zhao Xiongyu and Zhao Qianqian both awakened ice-attribute beast-taming talents.

Lu Yuan reached out his hand to Bai Bing.

Unlike Yan Bao, Bai Bing, although she dislikes outsiders getting close, does not have a situation where she is unable to control her own abilities.

However, Zhao Xiongyu did not give Bai Bing any orders not to hurt anyone.

He wanted to see if Lu Yuan could handle a ferocious beast of the Earth Spirit level with the same ease he had when facing Flameburst.

Incidentally, he can also regain the face he just lost in front of Lu Yuan.

To his surprise...

The usually aloof and arrogant Bai Bing actually lowered her head deeply, allowing Lu Yuan to raise his hand and stroke her head.

Upon closer inspection, you can even see its four legs trembling slightly.

Are you kidding me?

Bai Bing was a seventh-level Earth Spirit Beast Tamer, and she had never shown such fear even in front of the City Lord's Heavenly Evolution level Beast Tamer.

Lu Yuan clearly did nothing, so why would Bai Bing be so afraid?

Ignoring the shocked crowd, Lu Yuan focused intently on examining Bai Bing's data and couldn't help but speak up.

"It's actually a rare-level talent?"

Zhao Xiong Yu was shocked. "You can see Bai Bing's talent?"

Lu Yuan nodded, "Bai Bing's talent is the rare-grade Snowfield Ice Seal."

"Manager Lu is truly amazing; he even noticed that!" Zhao Xiong Yu exclaimed sincerely.

"It is said that only one out of ten thousand dire wolves can awaken this talent, so it seems that Bai Bing has great potential!"

Lu Yuan asked again to confirm, "Mr. Zhao, are you sure you want to fuse bloodlines with Bai Bing?"
