The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 398 A New Deal

"King T'Challa?"

Looking at the majestic king before him, Wes was the first to speak.

T'Challa frowned slightly and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Erwin's purpose is in coming to Wakanda?"

A hint of caution flickered in his eyes. After all, he was still unsure of the purpose of this unexpected visitor, so he was naturally on guard.

Vibranium.

Wes, on the other hand, didn't mince words and went straight to the point, stating his purpose.

Hearing this answer, T'Challa secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they're not here to cause trouble, that's fine.

Although Wakanda has always had strict rules against the outflow of vibranium, these rules were made by the king, who is now the king and naturally has a certain degree of decision-making power.

"plz follow me."

After a moment's thought, T'Challa made his decision.

Perhaps in the eyes of some Wakandas, their country is still that mysterious, isolated, and incredibly powerful nation, and they believe that Wakanda is the strongest country in the world.

However, T'Challa had a clearer understanding. He knew that the times had changed dramatically, and many powerful figures had emerged on Earth. Wes was one of the best among them.

He was unwilling to easily offend Weiss and bring unnecessary trouble to his country.

So T'Challa led Wes toward the interior of the palace.

Along the way, Weiss curiously observed the exotic architecture and unique local customs around him, while T'Challa pondered how to deal with the situation next.

Soon, the two arrived at a relatively secluded place within the palace.

"How much vibranium does Mr. Erwin need?" T'Challa asked Wess seriously.

"The more the better."

Weiss answered without hesitation, his tone revealing a resolute determination to win.

"No upper limit?"

T'Challa's eyes widened slightly, somewhat surprised that Wes had such a big appetite.

"certainly."

Wes remained calm, as if he were talking about something completely ordinary.

T'Challa immediately felt a bit awkward. He frowned and said, "Vibranium is very expensive."

In his view, vibranium is a precious resource for Wakanda, and providing it to Wes without restraint would be a significant loss for the country.

"Is anything more expensive than life?"

As soon as Wes said those words, T'Challa's heart tightened. He thought Wes was threatening him, and his expression changed immediately. The guards standing around him also reacted instantly, gripping their spears and quickly surrounding Wes.

You've misunderstood.

Weiss realized that what he had just said was indeed easy to misunderstand.

As he spoke, he calmly took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and held it up to show T'Challa.

"This is a life-saving potion that can extend the lifespan of an ordinary person by 5 years. Even someone who is on their last breath can be saved after taking it."

Weiss explained the effects of the medicine.

Upon hearing this, T'Challa's heart stirred; to be honest, he was quite tempted.

You have to understand, the bargaining chip Wes offered was incredibly high. A bottle of life-extending potion like this would definitely cause a frenzy of people to fight over it if it were released in the outside world.

Moreover, T'Challa knew that a proud man like Wes would never lie, so if he dared to speak so confidently about the potion's effects, it must be true.

Five years of lifespan is an incredibly precious thing for anyone.

T'Challa could even feel his heartbeat quicken involuntarily as he began to weigh the pros and cons.

After all, vibranium is extremely rare in the outside world, but it is relatively common in Wakanda. It has long been integrated into the daily life of Wakanda people, and its presence can be seen in buildings, weapons, and many other aspects.

"make a deal!"

After a moment's thought, T'Challa finally made his decision.

He felt he had no reason to refuse.

While he and Steve are indeed friends, he is also the King of Wakanda, bearing the heavy responsibility of protecting the entire country. He cannot disregard the safety of Wakanda and plunge the nation into potential war or other dangers simply because of personal friendship.

In this way, the two quickly reached an agreement, and the tense atmosphere eased.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

T'Challa warmly invited Wes to stay and explore Wakanda, and after a moment's thought, Wes readily agreed.

After all, Wakanda has unique customs and many mysteries, which is a rare opportunity for Wes to learn about it.

Over the next few days, T'Challa personally acted as a guide, taking Wes on a tour of the entire country.

They first strolled through the bustling capital, admiring its distinctive architecture and experiencing the vibrant lifestyle of the Wakanda people.

On the streets, people dressed in brightly colored ethnic costumes sold all kinds of exquisite handicrafts.

Afterwards, T'Challa took Wes to several other tribes.

Each tribe has its own unique culture and traditions, and some tribes are skilled in traditional songs and dances.

Some tribes have preserved ancient techniques, and watching those skilled craftsmen create exquisite utensils, Wes couldn't help but admire Wakanda's profound heritage.

They also visited Princess Shuri's laboratory, which is the core of Wakanda's technology.

Princess Shuri is indeed a genius scientist. Her ingenious ideas and superb skills are admirable. Even the high-tech equipment that T'Challa wears now is the result of her research and development.

Finally, after some negotiation, Wes successfully exchanged three precious life potions for a large amount of vibranium.

The amount of vibranium was considerable, enough for Vegapunk to use for his next experiments.

Both parties carefully agreed on the price and specific time for the next transaction to ensure smooth cooperation in the future.

After all the arrangements were made, Wes left Wakanda.

After Wes left, T'Challa immediately called Steve. Once the call connected, he told Steve about Wes's whereabouts in detail, saying with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, that's all I can do."

"Thank you, that's enough."

Steve responded on the other end of the phone, his voice still calm and gentle, as understanding as ever.

He knew that T'Challa was in a difficult position, and that providing such information was already a great help to him, so his words were full of gratitude.

After ending the call, Steve boarded a stealth fighter that had been prepared beforehand without any hesitation.

With the roar of engines, the fighter jet slowly took off from the base in Washington, quickly soaring through the clouds and disappearing into the blue sky and white clouds.

Steve had only one goal: to quell the chaos in Washington.
