After a second round of brewing and drinking, it was time to throw out the coffee..

　　According to the tradition of some African tribes, guests should leave at this time.

　　Li Du wanted to leave, but where could he go?

　　After finis.h.i.+ng their coffee, they entered on another topic. Good drummed upon the

　　tabletop with his fingers, and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, now we should talk about

　　working together. What quant.i.ty of diamonds can you help me process every year?"

　　Li Du let out a sigh and said, "What is your production like? How much do you need me

　　to process?"

　　He thought it was alright to say that. This was a negotiation anyway, so asking for

　　information was supposed to be acceptable.

　　Good was not satisfied, however. Still smiling, he said, "Mr. Li, it seems like you still fail

　　to understand we are not having a press conference. I ask, you answer, it's just easy as

　　that."

　　His opponent would always go berserk whenever someone failed to obey him. Li Du

　　hated him to his guts. If he met this type of lunatic in America, he would surely let

　　G.o.dzilla beat him up until all he was fit for was live out his life in a retirement home.

　　However, this did not change the current situation. As he was at Good's mercy, he had

　　to bow down to his rules.

　　Li Du said, "I understand, Good Commander. I'll give you an answer. First, you will need

　　to allow me to explain myself. The size of a diamond, the quality, the cut, the value, and

　　the processing amount will be different…"

　　"I know all about these. You just need to tell me, from melee to big carat diamonds, how

　　much can you roughly process?" Good interrupted him.

　　Li Du said, "It's difficult to gauge by the amount, I can only give a price. I can probably

　　process about 50 million US dollars' worth of diamonds. If there were more than that,

　　I'm afraid I would not be able to take them."

　　After hearing his answer, Good said with a smile, "50 million US dollars? This sum is a

　　bit too low for the world's jewelry and luxury goods market, isn't it?"

　　Li Du opened his hands and smiled bitterly as he said, "I'm sorry, Good Commander,

　　I…"

　　"Don't apologize, don't apologize," Good interrupted him once again, and appeared to

　　be more and more demanding. "You can process 50 million? I know you Chinese are

　　very humble, you like to speak cautiously. I like your characters this way."

　　He stood up and began to pace around his office. He raised his hand and said, "This is

　　a good trait, I like people who are humble and keep a low profile. There's nothing I hate

　　more than ostentatious b.a.s.t.a.r.ds."

　　He paused for a moment and turned his head to look at Li Du. "That's why the actual

　　sum will be 100 million US dollars. You have to process 100 million US dollars' worth of

　　diamonds each year."

　　Li Du took in a deep breath and said, "G.o.d, 100 million US dollars! You know…"

　　Good immediately interrupted him, "What, you're going to contradict me?"

　　What could Li Du say? He could only laugh bitterly. "No, 100 million US dollars? I can't

　　do it. I don't even have that much capital. Tell you what, it's better if you kill me right

　　away."

　　He even a.s.sumed the demeanor of a doomed man, and went to the wall to take a knife

　　that was hanging there.

　　The guards by the door immediately raised their guns and kept their deadly barrels

　　aimed at him.

　　Targeted by two guns, it was impossible for Li Du not to be nervous. However, he had

　　been at gunpoint too many times lately and knew that Good would not allow his

　　subordinates to shoot him. That was why he could withstand the threat. He kept a

　　straight face as he walked over with his hand holding the blade and offered the shaft to

　　Good.

　　"You had better just kill me then."

　　Good looked at him, puzzled, and said, "You really want to die that badly?"

　　Li Du said, "No, of course I don't want to die, but what other options do I have? If I

　　brought in such an amount of diamonds, I'd crash the market. The big bosses would just

　　quietly remove me, and n.o.body would ever know."

　　He pointed at the two guards and said, "If I die at your place, that will cause a sensation.

　　Someone will definitely avenge me, and then you guys can at least be buried along with

　　me."

　　Good laughed, "Haha, you're funny. Are you threatening me?"

　　He grabbed the knife, charged towards Li Du, and looked ready to stab him.

　　Li Du hadn't thought that Good would really make the move. The little bug was currently

　　on his shoulder, so he quickly used the time deceleration ability, ready to avoid the army

　　knife and struggle with Good.

　　However, as time slowed down, he lowered his head and saw that Good's wrist was

　　turned. He s.h.i.+fted the direction of the knife so that it was aimed towards the outer side

　　of his abdomen. This was still a test, then. Good did not really mean to kill him.

　　Hence, he tried hard to make himself stand still and clenched his jaw hard as he looked

　　forward and stared at Good without flinching.

　　Good did not let him have it easy, and the army knife stabbed through the side of Li

　　Du's abdomen. A chill pa.s.sed through his heart, and then a wave of pain began to

　　spread from the wound.

　　Li Du groaned inwardly, but he kept himself standing straight, and did not back down

　　even a step.

　　The smile on Good's face went stiff. He looked at Li Du and said, "Doctor!"

　　The two guards had not reacted yet, so Good quickly turned around, threw the army

　　knife at one of them and growled, "Go and get me the doctor! Get him here as fast as

　　you can!"

　　The shocked guards ran out together in fear.

　　At this moment, Li Du and Good were left alone in the office. Li Du suddenly had a

　　thought: if I make a move now, and get hold of Good…

　　Good was at least fifty years old, possibly sixty, so his stamina and ability could not

　　compare to Li Du's .

　　However, he noticed that Good's hands were full of calluses, and when he held the

　　knife earlier, his arm and wrist were very steady and firm. From this, Li Du deduced that

　　he should not underestimate his enemy's combat skills.

　　Moreover, Good has been a soldier all his life. According to the information that he had

　　accidentally leaked while talking to Li Du during the past two days, he had a strong

　　military background of many years.

　　Taking this into account, Li Du would not take act rashly.

　　He had only one chance to take Good down. If he failed, Good would most certainly kill

　　him, judging from his temperamental and lunatic character.

　　The doctor arrived very soon. He cleaned the wound, applied antiseptic, gave

　　anesthesia, st.i.tched up the wound, applied external medicinal powder, and left Li Du

　　feeling much better.

　　When he finally sat back in the chair, Good nodded slowly and said, "I admire you, Mr.

　　Li. And must say I rarely admire anyone."

　　Li Du smiled and said, The honor is mine."

　　Good offered him his hand and said, "100 million is too much, so let's meet in the

　　middle. 80 million! That will be our annual turnover capital."

　　Li Du slowly nodded. "I'll do my best. Eighty million is not a small amount. Let's just take

　　another step back, and I'll guarantee you 70 million for now."

　　Good laughed again, "Good. Usually, when people haggle with me, I send them to the

　　lions. You have won my respect. However, I don't like your att.i.tude. Follow me, I'll take

　　you out for another ride."

　　Li Du pointed at the bandage on his abdomen and laughed bitterly as he said, "With

　　this?"

　　Good smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will ride in the car the whole time."

　　Li Du agreed to go out to the wild, but he requested to bring Brother Wolf along.

　　Good said, "You have many requests, Mr. Li. I hope that when you face me again after

　　coming back, your att.i.tude will change."

　　Brother Wolf arrived, his mouth immediately twitched when he saw the wound on his

　　abdomen.

　　He followed Li Du by his side and remained quiet as a statue.
