The next day, the formal trade negotiations began. Zhao Guang had assumed that Babaza would be the one to negotiate.
In any world, it was customary for subordinates to handle the specific details of negotiations, as the upper echelons preferred not to show their displeasure overtly.
However, to his surprise, it was Caris who came to negotiate with him, with Babaza simply standing by the side, glaring at him. Caris waved her hand, and Babaza reluctantly presented a scroll.
"Be grateful for the generosity of the royal family, otherwise how could you possibly see this royal secret technique?"
"Babaza, you talk too much," Caris exuded a distinct authority at that moment.
Babaza quickly bowed his head in submission, not daring to speak any further.
It was then that Caris turned to Zhao Guang and said, "As previously agreed, this is the 'Sword of the King,' a royal secret technique, to be exchanged for the method of producing cement."
