Chapter 2598: Chapter 2598: Think About That Grain

"Lord Qi, we have come to negotiate. Please remain calm and don’t let a moment of anger cost you the advantage." He turned slightly, lowered his voice, and reminded Lord Qi by his ear.

They were here to buy grain, not to act on impulse. If they messed this up, neither of them could expect to fare well.

He wanted to complete the task properly and didn’t want to be implicated by Lord Qi.

Hearing this, Lord Qi took a deep breath, restrained himself, and finally looked at the secret guard, flicked his sleeve forcefully, and sat back with a cold snort.

"I won’t stoop to your level."

"I would like you to stoop to my level. Can you?" the secret guard retorted bluntly.

Needing something from them yet acting like a big shot; did they really think they could take the grain for free just by overpowering them in momentum?

Isn’t wishful thinking going a bit too far? Did they want to take them for fools?

"You..."

Lord Qi was extremely angry and was about to start cursing.

"No, no, don’t be angry."

His companion once again persuaded him, then turned to the secret guard.

"Sorry, my elder brother has always had a fiery temper. I hope you won’t take offense. We are here to request an audience with your master today, and I hope you can report it."

He cupped his fists toward the secret guard and spoke politely.

In fact, he was also angry inside. After all, he was one of the confidants around the Governor; when had he ever suffered such indifference from a mere servant?

But now, encountering it here, how could he not feel irritated?

But the other side held the grain. What could he do? Let alone the Governor, even the Lord behind the Governor should be very interested in this batch of grain.

If they messed this up, not only the two of them, but even their families couldn’t expect to survive.

In the eyes of those big shots, a few small fry like them dying wouldn’t count for much.

"Didn’t I already say he’s busy and not here? If you want to wait, wait. If you can’t, leave. I don’t have time to waste words on people who can’t understand human language!"

The secret guard said, not caring about the two, and directly turned to leave.

Want to compare arrogance? These people really couldn’t compete with him. After all, he was one of the two leaders of the Dark King’s Mansion secret guards. If he hadn’t restrained his killing intent, the two of them would be like mice seeing a cat upon first seeing him.

"He..."

Lord Qi was filled with anger, and his chest heaved continuously.

"Look at him, a mere servant dares to talk to me like that."

"Brother Qi, don’t be angry, think about the grain." His companion hurriedly advised him, seeing that he was truly furious.

No matter how arrogant those people were, as long as the grain eventually reached their hands, everything would be fine. By then, without the grain, wouldn’t the Northern Lands be under their control?

Hearing the word "grain," Lord Qi finally calmed his anger.

"It seems that buying grain this time won’t be easy," he said in a deep voice.

Earlier, he intended to probe whether he could lower the grain price, as his master suggested, to gain more profit.

But now it seemed even Master Ji’s subordinates dared to disregard them, indicating that Master Ji must be even more arrogant.
