Daozi was also in a bad situation. Lu Yuan in front of him was like a slippery eel, moving around and dodging. Every time Daozi forced him into a corner, the other party was able to dodge. Daozi felt that every time he used his killing move, it was as if he hit the air. Before long, his breathing was already in a mess.

The two continued to fight. Lu Yuan was exhausted from defending and had no way to launch any counterattack. Suddenly, Lu Yuan felt that his opponent's breathing became very chaotic and his strength became very slow. It was the perfect opportunity for him to attack.

"Heh! Can't hold on any longer, huh? Then it's my turn!" Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and said these words through gritted teeth.

Then, seizing an opportunity, he raised his hand and delivered a straight punch to the opponent's chest.

With a "bang," Lu Yuan used seven-tenths of his strength in his punch. Dao Zi's steps were already quite chaotic at this moment. He was surprised when he saw Lu Yuan's punch. He tried to dodge, but he simply didn't have the extra strength to dodge.

With a "bang," the fist slammed into the knife's chest, immediately producing a crisp "crack" sound.

Daozi was sent flying by Lu Yuan like a kite with a broken string, and then crashed heavily against the wall behind him.

With a "plop," the knife fell to the ground. He then clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face flushed an unusual red, and his eyes flashed with a mixture of resentment and disbelief.

"Heh! Nothing special!" Lu Yuan withdrew his fist and sat down next to Fatty Zhu. He then picked up the dagger that had fallen on the table and stared at Fatty Zhu with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Fatty Zhu looked at Daozi lying on the ground, coughing up blood, with a look of disbelief on his face. Then he looked at Lu Yuan.

"Ahem! Brother Lu... let's talk this out. I was just testing you! Well, you've passed my test! Our cooperation can continue!" Fatty Zhu said immediately, his eyes darting around.

However, although Lu Yuan seemed relatively relaxed, he was already at his limit. In order to leave this place safely, he could only pretend to be weak.

With a loud bang, Lu Yuan plunged the dagger into the mahogany table. The powerful force caused the dagger to pierce through the hard mahogany furniture. The entire second floor fell silent; no one dared to breathe loudly.

"Fatty Zhu, since I dared to come here alone to discuss cooperation, I'm not afraid of you causing trouble for me! Now you've seen it! I don't need to tell you how to discuss cooperation, right?" Lu Yuan took out a lighter from the table, lit a cigarette, and said.

Zhu Pangzi's back was covered in sweat, and fine beads of sweat were seeping from his forehead. The guy next to him, who was like an unkillable cockroach, had just beaten up one of his strongest henchmen. You should know that Zhu Pangzi had put a hundred bodyguards through a death selection process to choose his personal bodyguard.

The selection process was extremely brutal, involving locking all participants in a closed environment until only the last person who survived could become their bodyguard. Knife was one of those who emerged victorious from this inhumane selection process. However, once chosen, he became a figure second only to the leader in the outer city's black market, having paid a tremendous price.

"Then... then let's go with the price Brother Lu just mentioned, I'll take as many as you have!" Fatty Zhu said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Hehe! That price... it's no longer valid. I'll give you a new price, and you can think about it carefully later!" Lu Yuan said, taking a deep drag on his cigarette.

"Seafood is priced at 15,000 yuan per catty, and other products are also priced at a 50% premium! I think with Mr. Zhu's wealth, this shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Zhu Pangzi wanted to curse after hearing this. Raising prices like this was outrageous—a 50% increase! Even with his vast wealth, he couldn't possibly afford such a price. The market price was fixed. Although his black market prices were lower than the outside market prices, and he could still make a small profit, Lu Yuan's price was practically the same as the outside market price. If he agreed, he would have worked for nothing.

Just as Fatty Zhu was pondering how to refuse, he suddenly saw Lu Yuan gently pull the dagger out of the table again with his hand, which made him tense up again after he had just relaxed.

"Mr. Zhu, I'll give you one more minute. If you're not willing to agree, then I'll go to another company!"

As he spoke, Lu Yuan gently used the dagger to pick at his fingernails.

At that moment, a bodyguard not far behind Lu Yuan quietly took out a pistol from his pocket and prepared to aim it at Lu Yuan.

However, Lu Yuan's mental energy was completely focused at this moment, and he had already noticed when the bodyguard drew his gun.

With a "whoosh," Lu Yuan suddenly turned around, and the dagger in his hand flew out and directly pierced the chest of the bodyguard with the gun.

"You're not being honest! I'll see who else dares to use a gun. If I find out again, I'll stab Fatty Zhu with a dagger next time! Think it over!"

Fatty Zhu was so scared he almost peed himself. He quickly yelled at the bodyguards, "You all get the hell out of here!"

Then Fatty Zhu grinned, though his laughter was tinged with a hint of a sob: "Brother Lu, please don't be impulsive! Let's talk this out. It's just a 50% premium! I agree, okay?"

Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction after listening, then took out a contract from the table, glanced at it, and waved to a woman at the counter.

"Modify this contract as I suggested!"

The woman glanced at Fatty Zhu, who nodded helplessly.

Then Lu Yuan started revising the contract. However, Lu Yuan also knew that although the contract looked very formal, Zhu Pangzi and his people would not take it seriously at all. After all, without the existence of law enforcement agencies, even if you breached the contract, as long as you were powerful enough, the other party could not do anything to you and you could only suffer in silence.

A few minutes later, Lu Yuan stood up and gently patted Fatty Zhu on the shoulder, saying, "Boss Zhu, the contract has been signed, so hurry up and tell your people to raise the money! I'll take you to my warehouse to pick up the goods! Don't delay your business!"

Upon hearing this, Fatty Zhu was stunned and quickly shook his head, saying, "Brother Lu, don't joke around. This little thing can be handled by my subordinates! Besides, I trust your character. Just deliver the goods whenever you have time!"

Lu Yuan knew exactly what he was thinking. Releasing Fatty Zhu at this moment meant losing his shield. Once Fatty Zhu was gone, everyone in the room would probably be pointing their guns at him.
