"Let's switch to another artifact. I'll do my best to meet your conditions."
"I'm sorry, but I can't switch. I'm really fond of that Maitreya Buddha statue."

"Are you sure you don't want to part with that dagger?" Maria asked, as if laying down a final ultimatum.
"Agree to my terms, and we can continue to negotiate," Luo Feng replied.
Unable to contain himself, Maria slammed her palm on the table and stood up, confronting Luo Feng, "What if I insist on obtaining it?"
"That would depend on your capabilities."
