The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 525

"What?" Upon hearing this, Marlee felt an outpouring of anger rushing over her head.

The other party demanded exorbitant prices. He asked for one percent of the value of all the items on his ship. One should know that this was a rare ore prepared by the Jung family with all their efforts. This was already the Jung family's last hope.

Even if Marlee sold these items to a large trading company that would take them from Green Apollo, the price would be worth 200 to 300 million Star Dollars.

Now, they had risked their lives to transport goods to the Central Sacred Continent. Although they did not know how much it would cost here, it should at least be several times over. Otherwise, why would the big trading company take the goods from Green Apollo?

This large margin of profit is what makes them willing to make the trip. All the ores inside were worth at least a billion Star Dollars. In just a few words, this fellow wanted to earn one percent, which was over ten million Star Dollars?

By the way, those items might be worth more than this figure. How is that possible?

This is a daylight robbery.

The Jung family employed over a dozen Infinity Rankers to risk their lives to protect them all the way here, and they were only paid 8% of the total value. Dozens of Infinity Rank would only earn that amount after spending over a year risking their lives.

If they had an accident in the middle of the trip, they would even lose their lives. Therefore, they would not let this punk take one percent with just a few words. Marlee is a decision-maker sent by the Jung family this time. Therefore, he would definitely not agree.

While suppressing the anger in her heart, Marlee said coldly, “Sorry! Mr. Hardigan, we can't afford you, so you should look for another merchant ship!”

“Mistress, you just agreed. Our working relationship has been established, and you can't take back your words now" Willie said with a smile.

“I just asked about your worth. When do I agree? Now I think your price is too high and I don't want to hire you." snapped Marlee.

"If you ask me the price, it means you agreed to hire me. Don't worry Madam, I won't take advantage for free. I'll definitely find you the highest price to sell your stuff. You can tell me what you are selling now so I can find the best place to sell it for you.”

“I've never promised to hire you, and I won't hire you. Please move. I can find other places to sell it myself. I don't need your guidance.”

“Mistress, you broke our employment agreement. In the Sacred Central Continent, you will have to pay compensation. I'll leave if you pay me restitution.”

“Our working relationship violation? Do you have any evidence? Just because you said I hired you? You are very demanding. Is there a law in the Central Sacred Continent for this? You insulted the Sacred Central Continent by doing this! I can sue you!” Jerky Marlee.

He did not believe that the Central Sacred Continent, the most prosperous place in the Star Kingdom, would let these people do whatever they wanted. This jerk must have thought he was a newcomer and wanted to blackmail him with his status as a local.

If it was three to five million Dollar Stars, Marlee would have agreed to hire him. He would think of it as losing some money to avoid a disaster. However, asking for 1% of the immediate profits was a daylight robbery as it was worth over 10 million Star Dollars. There was no way Marlee would agree to such an unreasonable request.

“Mistress, are you sure you don't want to hire me? This is the Central Sacred Continent, not your hometown. You should think about it carefully. Think that you won't regret your decision" Willie said gloomily.

“I've thought about the situation, and once again, I never hired you and never will.”

After Marlee finished speaking, she did not give Willie another chance to speak.

He said directly to the person who operates the merchant ship, “Turn the person in front of us and continue the journey.”

“Good, Mistress!”

They're angry too. The other party directly asked for 1% of the total value, it was too much. Everyone on board had experienced a life and death struggle. Even after all that, they didn't even get that much. The merchant ship passed the small spacecraft in front and continued moving towards Treasure Trove.

He may even be arrested and jailed for several days for inhumane torture. Willie doesn't want to go through that. 'What should I do?" Willie. Suddenly his eyes lit up. “True, since I couldn't continue to bother them, I was able to pass on the news to the small trading company that I often worked with. 'I will ask them to send someone to buy the goods at a cheap price. 'At that time, I was also able to get a price cut. "That'll work!" After making a decision, Willie contacts Lou Sirr, the boss of a small trading company he often works with. This guy is also a savage. He would go wherever his interest went. Willie tells Lou what happened along with some of his predictions. He felt the value of the goods on this merchant ship must be not small. It was the first time the other party had come to the Central Sacred Continent, so there was plenty of room for manipulation. When Lou heard this, he was immediately interested. He told Willie to follow behind the ship first, and he would send someone soon. Both are directly compatible. Willie immediately directed the small spacecraft to follow the merchant ship from a distance. He didn't come to her either. He would look to the ship and determine the other party's position, in order not to lose them.

The merchant ship.

“Mistress, the man has been following us, what should we do?”

Marlee frowned and said, “Don't worry about her. Keep going. I do not believe that the Central Sacred Continent has no law.”

“Yes, Mistress!”

The merchant ship continued to move forward. The small spaceship Willie was driving followed far behind.

The merchant ship continued to accelerate, but still could not get rid of Willie, who was following far behind. Marlee cannot dispel the feeling that this man must have had malicious intentions to follow them, but she has no way of stopping him.

They can't get rid of him either. If he were to just warn her, that person would probably not care about her. It would be more impossible to use violence. Regardless of the fact whether they could win, this was the other party's territory. What would he use to fight with them?

Fortunately, David, the Eternal, was on board, so Marlee was convinced. Eternals were nothing in the eyes of those great powers, but they were still a powerful deterrent to the people below. It would be the same wherever someone was.

Willie was merely someone who offered business to the merchant ship that had come to the Central Sacred Continent for the first time. This is how he gets the commission.

After thinking about it, Marlee thought she would not have such great power behind her to support him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done this job. After Marlee thought about this, she decided to let him follow them.

He did not believe that this man would dare to continue following him once they reached Treasure Trove. Treasure Trove was one of the top trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent, so its business was spread throughout the Star Kingdom. Therefore, he had countless assets and countless powerful people, and they would not allow a rat like Willie to act recklessly.

They would not work with such a person so as not to tarnish the reputation of the company. Word of mouth information is very important for large trading companies. After getting a reputation for bluffing, dominating the market, or deceiving the weak, no one dares to trade here. Eventually, this would be a huge blow to the big trading companies.

Time passes quickly. In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed. Willie was still following far behind the merchant ship. He would not chase or stay too far away. On the way, Marlee also meets a patrol boat with the inscription 'Central' engraved on it. Presumably these were people sent by the officials of the Central Holy Continent to govern law and order.

At the same time, Marlee also found something. As they cross paths with a patrol boat, Willie suddenly disappears from behind a merchant ship. Marlee thought the other party had given up. However, after the patrol boat drifted away, this person appeared again. From this, Marlee deduces that Willie is very afraid of patrol boats.

He probably had a bad reputation in the eyes of the law officials of the Sacred Central Continent. Others may complain about him often. Marlee made her decision. If he were to meet again with the official patrol boat of the Sacred Central Continent, he would complain to the other party that Willie was too demanding and intrusive.

But in the period that followed, Marlee did not meet with any other patrol boats. The plump figure caught Lou's attention on the small ship. Lou said he's almost there. Fat Willie was shocked. 'He finally came.'

He quickly informed Lou of his location, and sent a photo of the merchant ship forward. Then, he slowed down and stopped following. Willie understands that if the other party finds out that Willie is the one who contacted Lou, they will not sell the goods to Lou.

The purpose she followed behind them was to determine their location so that Lou

can find the target accurately. Now, it was time for him to step back and wait for his ration of money. He simply did not know how much the goods on this merchant ship were worth or how much money he could earn.

‘If the other party is so concerned with 1%, then it must be quite a lot.’

Willie thought happily.
