“I had thought so before, but didn’t you just tell me that we could negotiate under any circumstances?” Luo Feng’s face showed little emotion, leaving Maria unable to discern whether he was joking or serious.
“Let’s switch to another artifact. I’ll do my best to meet your conditions.” “I’m sorry, but I can’t switch. I’m really fond of that Maitreya Buddha statue.”
Maria fell silent. At this point, their discussion was essentially at an impasse.
“Are you sure you don’t want to part with that dagger?” Maria asked, as if laying down a final ultimatum.
“Agree to my terms, and we can continue to negotiate,” Luo Feng replied.

“That would depend on your capabilities.”
Their exchange was sharp and pointed, catching Maria off guard. She never expected that someone would dare to speak to her in such a manner. Though she was not the owner of the Cosmic Tower, her position as the general manager was enough for her to look down upon most people. For years, everyone had treated her with deference; nobody had ever dared to defy her.
And now, this newcomer was audacious enough to be so insolent?
“If possible, I’d rather not escalate the situation. But if you insist on challenging me, I don’t mind showing you my capabilities,” Maria said,
Maria thought Luo Feng had decided to back down, but his next words infuriated him further.
“So, you’re unwilling to part with the Maitreya Buddha statue?”
“Nonsense!”
If it weren’t for the absence of her subordinates, Maria would’ve beaten this insolent youngster half to death. Without another word, Maria left the room.
Through this initial interaction, Luo Feng had ascertained the situation. The woman he was dealing with was just the general manager; she couldn’t make decisions on something as significant as the Maitreya Buddha statue. Luo Feng’s earlier comments were simply to gauge their stance.
“Looks like I’ve encountered a tough nut to crack,” Luo Feng mused, standing up to leave. In any case, the artifact was still housed in their tower. As long as he planned carefully, there would be an opportunity.
After departing, Luo Feng had just returned to his company when he saw Jardins rushing towards him.
“Luo Feng, wait up!”
Arriving breathlessly, Jardins inquired, “Aren’t you supposed to be busy running your toy store? Why are you here?”
“Yes, I’m here because I’m undecided about something related to the toy store. I wanted to consult you.”
Jardins then handed Luo Feng a file.

Jardins looked at Luo Feng with anticipation. A successful order could relieve a lot of pressure for them.
Luo Feng glanced at the document. It merely listed the types of toys needed, the payment, and the delivery date, with no other details.
“There’s nothing suspicious on the surface. I have some free time over the next couple of days; why don’t we check it out together?”
Upon hearing this, Jardins nodded enthusiastically.
“Great! You haven’t visited the store in quite some time. This would be a good opportunity for you to see the transformations I’ve made!”
Jardins was visibly excited, and Luo Feng didn’t dampen her spirits, agreeing right away.
The next morning, Luo Feng and Jardins arrived at the toy wholesale market. Compared to its previous dilapidated state, the market had undergone a drastic transformation.
It was evident that Jardins had invested considerable effort into the renovation.
“Luo Feng, look! This area is what I’m most proud of..”
