Early in the morning of the following day, Ian greeted the slightly cool morning breeze and once again set foot on the road to the Free Chamber of Commerce. Last night's aura had given him confidence in today's meeting.
The headquarters of the Free Chamber of Commerce was still as busy as ever, with an exquisite architectural appearance that emphasized supreme wealth and power. Ian stepped into the hall, the reception attendant immediately greeted him, "Mr. Ian, you are here again, President Adrian is in the study at the moment, do you need me to inform you?"
Ian nodded bashfully, "Please do."
A short while later, the attendant returned, "The president asks you to go up, he is waiting for you."
Ian pushed the door and walked into Adrian's study, the furnishings in the room were still gorgeous and not too tasteful. Adrian was leaning back in his chair with a glass of red wine in his hand, looking at Ian who walked in with a smile.
"Mr. Ian, meeting again so soon, any new news to tell me?" Adrian asked in a leisurely manner, but with a hint of playfulness in his expression.
Ian didn't hesitate to sit across from him and smiled slightly, "Not bad, I've brought exactly the kind of news that will definitely move you today."
Adrian gently raised an eyebrow and asked with feigned curiosity, "Oh? Is there another change in the city?"
Ian calmly said, "I found a relic."
Upon hearing the word "relic", Adrian was obviously stunned for a moment, and the red wine glass in his hand shook slightly, he then asked calmly, "A relic? Mr. Ian, this kind of news is no joke."
Ian's smile remained unchanged and said calmly, "I never joke about such things."
Adrian looked serious: "Mr. Ian, how are you going to prove to me that what you say is true, as far as I know the vast majority of the world's relics are controlled by those big powers, unless it's a newly emerged relic they haven't come to discover yet, but the probability is negligibly low. "
Ian smiled faintly: "Low probability doesn't mean it doesn't exist right, I personally felt the energy fluctuation emanating from that place. That kind of fluctuation is extremely special, so powerful that it is oppressive, as if it is summoning something. This kind of feeling, you should know exactly what it means right?"
Adrian completely changed his face, finally sitting up straight, his tone no longer frivolous: "Are you sure? Is it really a relic energy fluctuation?"
Ian's expression was firm, "President Adrian, I believe that with your experience, you must have felt the energy of the relics as well, you should know clearly in your heart whether what I am saying is true or not."
Adrian was silent for a moment, his eyes revealing an unconcealable desire and caution, "What do you want by telling me this?"
Ian calmly looked straight into his eyes, "It's still what I said before, the problem of the alliance. The City of Ashes is in danger now, if we don't unite the three major powers, once the city is overrun, no one will have a good time at that time."
Adrian lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up and asked, "How do you plan to deal with this relic?"
Ian said indifferently, "The conditions I put forward are simple, the three major forces work hand in hand to deal with the crisis at hand. Once the threat of the City of Ashes is lifted, I will inform you of the location of the relic, and then the three powers will jointly send people to explore it, and the items and resources obtained will be equally distributed among the three powers."
When Adrian heard this, his complexion gradually became grave, his face shifting and changing, obviously undergoing a fierce battle of thoughts within his heart.
After pondering for a long time, he finally spoke, "You should understand that the relics are of immense value, why should they be shared equally with you?"
Ian said nonchalantly, "Chairman, you know very well that I am the only one who knows the location of this relic. Without my guidance, it is impossible for you to find it. In addition, you know very well the danger of the relic, and without the combined power of the other two major forces, I'm afraid that the Free Chamber of Commerce won't be able to deal with the threats within the relic alone. At that time, the relics would not have been obtained, but instead, you might have suffered heavy losses.
Moreover, you also know the value of the relics, even if the three forces share it equally, the share you got is enough to make you a big profit, right? "
Adrian's face was gloomy, he had to admit that Ian's analysis was very accurate, although the relics were tempting, it was indeed difficult to monopolize them without enough power.
In the end, Adrian let out a long sigh and slowly said, "Looks like you're set on me."
Ian smiled lightly, "I'm just proposing a plan that is favorable to everyone."
Adrian slowly nodded, "Alright, I agree to your conditions. The three powers will join forces to deal with the crisis in the City of Ashes. After the matter is accomplished, the relics will be explored together and the harvest will be shared equally, but I hope, you won't lie to me."
Ian stood up and extended his hand forward, "Happy cooperation, President."
Adrian looked at Ian's departing back, his heart was once again on fire, if what he said is true, even if it's equally divided, it's an unimaginable fortune, even if it's dangerous again, I'll put up a fight!
Ian left the Free Chamber of Commerce and let out a long breath, it was finally resolved, the next step was to inform the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enlightenment Alliance of the news.
