Successors of all mankind

Although they seem to have gained nothing at the moment, once the child grows up, they will have a lot of room to maneuver in the future.

This seems like a very long-term investment.

But that's disgusting!

In the past, when I read novels and watched TV dramas, I would encounter this kind of scene.

Yu Le didn't see any problem with it; in fact, he thought it was the right thing to do and a very beneficial request for the main characters.

You can even join in the chat with a few shouts, "Why not take advantage of this opportunity?"

However, when it actually happened to him, Yu Le realized just how disgusting it was.

Yu Le does not intend to criticize the other party for using his daughter as a bargaining chip.

After all, the other party seemed to have accepted it, and for the nobility, this was also a kind of responsibility.

Therefore, Yule will not criticize anything based on this, nor does it find it disgusting.

Although they have alienated people, since they have enjoyed power, they must bear equal obligations.

What disgusts him is, how can you, an old man, make me confused and have another child just by saying a few words?

She has enjoyed the power you gave her, and should bear the corresponding responsibility.

But what does that have to do with me?

What's even more disgusting is that this guy, while seemingly backing down, actually threw out an even more outrageous demand than before.

I want neither land nor treasure, but only a bloodline.

At first glance, it seems like a good thing that it doesn't require a title or a promise, but as long as the child exists.

They will always have a way of controlling themselves, and they will always have an excuse to get involved in anything that concerns them.

Yu Le looked at him disdainfully and said:

"Marquis, don't you find this disgusting?"

The Marquis's expression froze for a moment.

He clearly hadn't anticipated this reaction.

In his calculations, this was almost a perfect proposal.

A young man, faced with a beautiful young woman from a distinguished family, would have almost no reason to refuse her body and family resources offered to him.

“Sir,” he tried to salvage the situation, “you may not have understood my reason for seeking you out.”

“I understand it very well.”

Yu Le interrupted him.

"You want to use her uterus to exchange for insurance on her bloodline. As long as the child she gives birth to grows up, from now on, even if he or she has no official status, as long as they still have a de facto bloodline, you can use his or her existence to determine your fate at any time."

“Even if all of this fails, at least your Robespierre family will now have the true ‘Robespierre’ bloodline. No matter how you look at it, it’s not a loss.”

“But it’s disgusting, Marquis.”

"What do you take me for? A monkey who can't walk past a woman?"

Chapter 61 That's good.

Finally, Yu Le looked at the Marquis with utmost seriousness and said:

"Furthermore, haven't my humility and politeness given you too much face? To the point that you actually think you can spout nonsense in front of me!"

Yu Le stood up, looked at the Marquis, and said:

"This negotiating table was only set up with my permission. I can have someone else talk to me at any time! Don't think you're irreplaceable."

"I've said this more than once, but you always seem to overlook this part!"

The Marquis looked at Yu Le in surprise.

He seemed to be caught up in the other person's rhythm.

After a brief silence, he tried to steer the situation back to his own rhythm.

“My lord, I have not ignored your suggestion. I just want to remind you that this is almost tantamount to treason, and others may not agree to your request.”

"Is it that others might not agree, or is it just your assumption? After all, you're standing right in front of me bargaining with me, so how do you know others won't do the same thing as you?"

"I agreed to your request because this estate is a long-cherished dream of our family, but no one else has it!"

The Marquis's answer was perfectly correct, except that he was mistaken about one thing—Yu Le really didn't need them.

It just so happens that I met a traveler and used that name.

So Yu Le couldn't help but laugh:

“How arrogant, Marquis. The Lorraine family has a factory that has long since ceased production, which provides them with a continuous supply of energy batteries. Yet they still can’t seem to fix it. What price do you think they’re willing to pay to repair what was once the pillar of their family?”

The Marquis's expression changed slightly.

Yu Le further elaborated:

"And the royal family. Relic Zero belongs to the royal family. I can bypass you and contact the royal family directly. It's just a matter of going in to get something."

"Although this would obviously require me to pay a much higher price, I have no worries about the consequences. After all, it was the royal family that approved it."

"Therefore, Marquis, find your place."

The Marquis's expression grew increasingly grim. He was completely caught up in the other man's rhythm, and he had no way to break free.

After this whole ordeal, Yule's initial disgust completely vanished.

It felt so good!

I'm someone who's completely bad at negotiating, yet I managed to do this!

Sure enough, I needed to understand one thing from the very beginning: we weren't on equal footing. I was the client who could change hands and make demands at any time!

The money is in my hands, not yours!

Haha, this feels so good! No wonder clients always like to change their minds!

The Marquis knew that he no longer had any chance of winning at the negotiating table.

So the old fox changed his tune:

“I apologize for my foolishness, sir. But I hope you can understand my predicament as the head of this family.”

"We are risking treason by cooperating with you, so what are you willing to give us? I need an explanation that I can give to my family!"

When you are in a weak position, you need to know the other party's bottom line so that you can take action based on it.

Yu Le readily accepted this, and then said:

"I told you, the Lorraine family owns an energy factory that has long since ceased production, right?"

"Yes, sir, what do you mean?"

The Marquis sensed something keenly, and his heart began to race.

Yu Le replied without hesitation:

"The core of that factory is the ability to continuously produce nuclear batteries to supply various types of vehicles and weapons. And I can give you the same technology."

This was an exorbitant price they couldn't refuse.

So the Marquis said without even thinking:

"If that's the case, I agree, but, sir...you're being too...too..."

"Too generous?!"

Yu Le answered the other party with a smile.

This is indeed very generous, as it is a technology they desperately need. Without it, they would have to rely on bulky charging devices in many aspects, resulting in extremely low resource consumption and work efficiency.

But looking at Yu Le laughing, the Marquis felt a chill run down his spine.

What a devil!

I was so foolish to think I could easily control him just because he was young.

Unexpectedly, he had her completely under his control.

Moreover, the final price they gave us was something incredibly cruel...

Although nuclear energy was indeed an outdated technology that the AI ​​deliberately gave to the aliens, hoping they would mess it up and cause widespread nuclear pollution.

However, what truly troubled them here was not the potential nuclear contamination, but another issue—one of the lifelines of the Lorraine family.

Although the business has been shut down, the inventory they had previously stockpiled remains an important source of income for them.

Once their own family infiltrates their profit chain using the same technology...

The extent of the clash this would cause was beyond even the Marquis's imagination.

The friendship between Lorraine and Robespierre will be completely destroyed.

But they had to agree, because the benefits were so great that they were willing to disregard everything else.

And if I'm not mistaken, the most fatal thing is that once we agree and build the factory...

Then we become more and more connected with him—no, "connected" is too kind of an understatement to describe our current situation.

It should be said that they are becoming more and more dependent on him!

And also...

The marquis, as if struck by a sudden thought, said to Yu Le:

"Yes, very generous, sir."

"However, sir, I would like to ask, if you were to cooperate with the Lorraine family, what would you offer them? Would you simply help them repair that factory?"

Yu Le smiled and said:

"Of course not, they already have the necessary components, it's just that a certain step broke down. I'm someone who makes things a win-win situation for everyone."

"So I won't be stingy. I will help them optimize their technology so that the battery models they can produce can be used in more places."

The marquis's mouth was dry, and he struggled to speak:

"for example?"

"For example, various flying vehicles and such."

Robespierre's men were immediately alarmed.

Sure enough, if he had chosen himself, he would have made them break with the Lorraine family.

If he chooses the other side, he will use the same tactics to break ties with the Lorraine family!

Robespierre was a maritime nobleman, and one of their core businesses was the aerial supply stations that were spread throughout the dynasty and even the world.

Once they have nuclear batteries that they never had before, which can be readily replaced for aircraft, then half of their industries will probably be wiped out immediately!

Moreover, this is just a collaboration between him and the two of them.

What if his collaborator is royalty?

What will happen then?

Once you realize this, even travelers can't help but feel a chill.

Realizing the atmosphere was a bit strange, and completely unaware of the implied meaning, he asked with a smile:

"Is there a problem?"

Robespierre and his ilk snapped out of their daze and bowed their heads in unison.

"No, sir. There's no problem at all!"

"That's good!"

Chapter 62 This is the reason, Master (3k)

"Then please leave. We probably have nothing more to talk about."

Upon hearing this, the Marquis said nothing more.
