Supreme Villain: Seducing the Heroines

Chapter 5 5: Negotiation [2]

?The moment after, Lady Xue changed almost completely; her sceptical eyes seemed to glint with interest and curiosity.

Ting!

He placed the glass down, empty, not proper etiquette for drinking wine, as his beautiful, violet eyes seemed to shine in the dark blue light, the ocean aurora shimmering across his face.

"Forgive my rude manners, this wine... a wonderful Pinotage, a very nostalgic wine for me. Thank you very much for the wonderful South Afrilian wine; whether expensive or cheap, I believe it's the important moment and memories a wine contains, Lady Xue. Are you ready to discuss business with me?"

He was counting on it, hoping his gut feeling was right.

A moment of tense silence passed by, cold sweat almost filling the back of his silk shirt.

"Forgive me, Amon. May I call you Amon or the new President of Winchester Groups, Terra Pharmaceuticals? You are free to drop the miss and Lady; call me Xue or Snow, as it must be hard using a foreign tongue."

'Mother... you are a goddess!'

Click!

Ming Xue snapped her fingers as the women apart from her bodyguard all vacated the room; once the brown eyes maid collected his glass, Amon whispered, "Thank you for the lovely wine; you made sure it was nice and warm, right? It was the perfect temperature, good work." Her face blushed, the light veil unable to deceive his eyes as the material wasn't opaque.

"Ah... Thank you, Lord Winchester! I must continue with m...my duties!" The cute maid began to stutter before she darted away like a scared deer watched by a big bad wolf.

"Ahem... Can you not tease my maids? She is only young, and a big man like you might ruin her for life!" Xue scolded, her tone wasn't loose, but there was a sense of familiarity.

'Well, of course, there is; she needs this breakthrough; it was why Ethan won her over in the first place after using this truth when making his own small company; the process would be much smoother with an already made company.'

"Forgive me, Xue, because of the nostalgic wine at the correct temperature, I wanted to thank her, but she was rather cute. Shall we move along onto more serious matters?"

Despite the friendly and beautiful tones of their voices, the pair of them were fierce, one like a ferocious black mamba wanting to sink her fangs into the handsome young dragon and pull him down in the filthy grass, killing him with her deadly venom.

While the future black dragon was proud, his mind constantly moved to try to keep up with this intelligent and borderline genius of a woman.

He knew that despite having several lives of information, he was NOT a genius.

"What are your terms, and what do you want from me?"

Her words shocked him; why did she give up the initiative? This was like offering your neck in battle, and his eyes couldn't help but widen.

"Why are you looking so shocked? I know everything; you are now the majority shareholder under the guise of the president. That's why you came here. Only you can give me the breakthrough I need, right? Do you need a bodyguard, or was it just a ruse to have me in your debt?"

Amon's face returned to its normal state; watching the contact change in her facial reactions and movements, he felt shocked, utterly stunned!

He was expecting a psychological battle, fighting desperately to hide the fact his real reason was ONLY the bodyguard, and earning her co-operation before Ethan was merely a bonus, not expecting his mother to move THAT fast.

But now... this woman.

'Is she too smart that she maybe overthought I planned everything!?'

The moment he thought, something clicked inside him, causing his mind to become clear, all the stress and thoughts before like a joke as if he was a hero in a video game and levelled up. Amon leaned back into the chair, his face forming a faint smile and seeing if she was far too intelligent for her good.

"True, you are a brilliant woman, fast, decisive and with a powerful network above and below the board. For starters, I want Elma Strauss to become my maid and bodyguard, to help me train in cultivation and improve my body's muscle balance for future improvements."

"!!!"

Elma Strauss, a woman from the eastern country, once the most dominant empire in the world, then with the most powerful and skilled military almost dominating the world once again in the modern age, twice.

She was the woman who taught Ming Xue how to cultivate; despite being from a European lineage, they were once lucky to discover a unique body-tempering cultivation technique that could perfect one's body to the limits and beyond.

"You..." Ming Xue was genuinely surprised; Elma Strauss was one of the most important secrets of her current force, acting as a brown-eyed maid with love for pinotage wine.

"Did you know from the start!?" Ming Xue almost shouted as her hands gripped the sofa, almost tearing the expensive leather, her bodyguard seeming to be on high alert.

Amon just smiled, shaking his head as it was Elma Strauss who suggested the wine to his mother when she asked about red wines and wanting to cook for her son, thus the moment that this maid served wine in this establishment at THIS moment.

She was the woman he was looking for in her disguise.

"About the contract between you both, I knew she would choose her employer, but the facts were unclear."

"He's being honest, Miss."

'Tsk, this damn cultivator can read my emotions... good thing I didn't try to show off.'

"..."

Ming Xue was indeed a smart woman, her initial shock and disturbance lasting minutes at most before she straightened her black hair, leaning back and looked at Amon with her beautiful ruby eyes; now he no longer feared to admire her face, soft like silk, fair like smooth white jade, but fierce with her fiery red eyes, narrowly peering at him with a slightly angry look.

"Then..? What are you offering and your true request, Amon Winchester!"

He stood up from his chair and slowly walked towards the beautiful woman, lifting his right hand and pushing it forward towards Ming Xue with a faint smile and his violet eyes filled with confidence, pride and arrogance.

"I want to offer you shares in the company; in return, you will run and protect both the cultivation and sale of the product, liable if any issues arise."

Red and Violet, both blazing like a swirl of beautiful flames as two hands were close to holding each other; her face became sly, cheeky and more relaxed as the bodyguard let out a sigh, seeing the look on her Lady's face.

"50%!"

"Dream on! Save your sleep talk for when you are sleeping! 15%!"

"Don't be so cheap~ I'm such a lovely little girl... mwah! 45%!"

"Shove it; your bodyguard is more lovely! 18%!"

"...!" The bodyguard looked at him, her face completely covered as she tilted her head, confused. Was he calling her mistress as ugly as a white rag?

"Tsk... damn, why are you not like the documents said! 40%!"

"25% final offer or I'll just do it alone."

"Ehhh... Then, how about 5% of the profits are also mine? I have other elders to convince... this cost would be huge!"

"Alright, I'll first get you the exact plans and details and arrange for my Lawyers to confirm these rates, 25% of the shares, and 5% profit margin. Shake my hand, you damn snake girl!"

"Hmph! If I didn't need you, I'd have Natalia break your legs and make you a eunuch!"

Finally, the pair shook hands as they took out their private phones, touching them with a loud beep as their contact information was exchanged.

Amon pulled away his hand, jokingly wiping his hand with the red silk handkerchief in his pocket, as if she was dirty, before leaving.

"Haha, see you again soon, Miss Xue; make sure you smile like a good girl next time." He walked away from the VIP box briskly as a glass smashed against the door the moment he left.

'Haha... hahahahaa.....hahahaha! What a fun hour!! I want to conquer her... make her behave and be obedient!' Amon's glowing eyes were dark purple as he looked back; if he were shirtless, the black dragon tattoo would be glowing brightly, filled with essence from the confrontation between himself and that black mamba girl.

Beep Beep!

He looked down at his phone; suddenly, his great mood lowered, looking at the identification of who had called him.

Incoming call

- Alice Murdock

"Well... Let's see what she's like this time; I don't plan to hold anything from other lives against her. Direct revenge isn't that fun..."

---------

AN: There is a reason he's not rushing to cultivate right away.

Winning that woman as his bodyguard/maid was a key reason! Please understand! He will eventually kick ass with both his mind and body!

Ming Xue is evil!!! Protect our Amon!!!
