??"..." Seeing that I wasn't going to lower my price for the cards Agatha frowned. 

??"Agatha, if you are lacking money I will lend you some you can pay me back later." Aba thought that 10 soul jades were not expensive and did not know why Agatha was bargaining so much. Then feeling that Agatha may be lacking funds she decided to come to her retainer's help. 

??"Thank you, but I have enough money princess," Agatha rejected Aba's help. And then turning to she said, "Don't you feel 10 soul jades is a bit too much for E-rank cards?" 

??1 soul jade is equal to 100 million dollars, calculating accordingly, 10 soul jades meant 1 billion dollars. The market price for an average E-rank card was somewhere near 1 million dollars, so Agatha felt that the one billion dollar price tag for an E-rank card was a bit absurd. 

??Not to mention if the E-rank AI-armed butcher card was this expensive then what about the high-rank cards? One has to know that an E-rank AI-armed butcher card can only process the meat of the monsters of E-rank or below. For high-rank monsters, they will have to make use of high-rank AI-armed butcher cards. And Agatha could only make some real profit by processing high-rank monster meat. Therefore in the future, it will be inevitable that she buys high-rank AI-armed butcher cards. 

??10 soul jades were not expensive for a Semi-demigod if it was a one-time thing, but Agatha would require to keep buying these cards as her business expands or the existing cards lose durability. Not to mention if she agrees to pay this sky-high price for a low-ran AI-armed butcher card now that in the future when she has to buy a high-rank AI-armed butcher card she will have to continue to pay the unreasonable astronomic price stated by this heartless profiter. 

??Yes, over the years she has saved considerable funds but at the rates of cards offered by the greedy profiter, she doesn't feel that those funds of her will last still her monster meat processing plant starts bringing in profits. And if she cannot at least even the losses with the profits then she will go into debt making all her life work and savings a waste. 

??Therefore Agatha was so firmly bargaining the price of the cards. Agatha knew that upon continuous use the durability of the regular cards starts to decrease like the sharpness of the sword. So she will have to keep buying the card from the greedy profiteer. Which would burn a huge hole in her profits if she manages to get some. So no matter what Agatha could not compromise on these prices for the cards, she would be better off if she were to give up on this business venture.

??"Agatha, I am not going to argue with you. If you feel my prices are high, then you can get the custom cards you need from some other card creationist." I did not plan to negotiate with Agatha because as the sole supplier of this type of card, I had that final say in it, it was my way or the highway. 

??I know asking nearly a billion dollars for an E-rank card may sound too much, but considering that the dollars weren't the major currency of this world and were only used by the mortals and low-realm card apprentices the price wasn't that expensive. One has to know that low-rank cards created using rules and meanings cost more than this. Even though my cards did not have rule power in them they were one of a kind in this world. So I felt that this price was justifiable. 

??There was another reason why I was selling the cards for sky-high prices, and that was to let Agatha realize that no matter how much funds she has saved it will not be enough for her to get her monster meat processing business up and running all by herself. 

??"Y-you…" Hearing my uncoated words Agatha's brows frowned. She would have left in a fit of rage if she could get these cards made someplace else. Since this greedy profiteer was the only one who could create these cards, Agatha had no choice but to tolerate his antics and fight for her purpose. 

??"..." Aba who knew little about the situation could not help but frown at her friend but she also felt that her friend was only doing business. So in the end, she decided to not take the side of either of them, her retainer or her friend.

??"Wyatt, come on. I will be ordering more of these cards in the future regularly, and you can make more profits in time. Think about it and give me reasonable prices for the cards." Agatha was the kind of person who when set her mind on something would only move on after giving her best otherwise she cannot sleep at night. She did not like to quit but she hated to quit without trying. 

??Therefore despite the stubbornness of the money-grabbing profiteer, she decided to reason with him and negotiate a reasonable price for the custom cards. She wasn't just going to give up just because of a failed negotiation. If she were that she wouldn't have been able to achieve her current realm with her humble background. 

??"Agatha, please have some pride friend. You are a semi-demigod for god sake. Don't make things difficult for an orphan high schooler like myself." I just spoke to make things difficult for Agatha. I wouldn't back off until I had achieved what I wanted. 

??"Come on, Wyatt. There must be something Agatha can do for you to reconsider the price of the cards." Aba did not plan to take a side but still decided to help them reach the desired terms without involving violence or stressing their relationship. 

??"..." Hearing Aba, I looked at her, impressed. Someone was asking the right questions and didn't Aba to be that person.
