I nodded softly before grabbing her hands and responding, "I understand. I hope our meeting is fruitful as well."
Kim Hannah looked at me with sharp eyes once she realised I was wearing an item that distorted my voice and appearance before glancing at Agnes who just smiled politely.
'Tsk.' Kim Hannah clicked her tongue but said nothing otherwise.
We took our seats and that was when Kim Hannah pulled out a few files from her bag and spoke quickly.
"I'm sure Miss Agnes has informed you about why Sinyoung needs your help?"
"I hear it is to help try and heal the youngest lady of Sinyoung?"
"Try?" Kim Hannah asked pointedly with raised eyebrows.
"I'm not god lady. And I don't even know about her injury yet. I'd have to see it to make sure I understand how much I can help."
Kim Hannah immediately frowned and looked at Agnes, "Would you have liked it if I had your saviour examine her without you being present?"
Kim Hannah's frown deepened further before she calmly nodded and looked in my direction.
"We can only proceed with our discussions if we know that you can heal her. If not it'll be a waste of time for both me and you."
I shook my head slightly and spoke calmly, "Is that how little you value the life of your young lady? I thought Sinyoung was the largest corporation on this end. And given how rare my magic is I will need a consulting fee."
Kim Hannah frowned again.
I looked right into her deep black eyes and spoke calmly, "I'd like it if I was given ten platinum coins once I'm out of here."
Kim Hannah's eyebrows shot up as she looked at Agnes, but seeing her surprised too she looked back at me.
"Are you serious? Do you even know how valuable a single platinum coin is? Possessing a single one would allow people to make their own guild and fund it for nearly an entire year. What makes you think you're worth it?"
"Am I not worth it? That's alright. But is the second young lady of the largest business corporation on this side not worth it? Just think about it, how much would a similar surgery cost in our world, would it be less than a few million dollars?"
"But you're not just asking for a few million, you're asking for nearly a billion!" Kim Hannah said in a slightly higher pitch to show her anger.
"Of course, that's because I'm not running a business like a hospital to recoup my costs due to my investments. So I can only get back my money by charging you so much. Unless you have a solution for it? Like making me Sinyoung's exclusive healer?"
Kim Hannah frowned looked at Agnes and then back at me, "No. It is still too much. I'm sorry unfortunately I can't pay you so much."
"Are you sure?" I asked leaning in a little.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean…you've already upset your company by failing to keep your gold mark invitee alive…do you think they'll like it when you fail to even get a deal that would help heal the young lady?"
Kim Hannah's brows furrowed and her hands clenched into fists, she looked at Agnes thinking she was the one who informed me about it but Agnes was equally surprised about how I knew all this.
So she looked at me and asked me, "Who told you that?"
"Information…it flies in the air. Once only has to look at the right places to understand it all." I replied cryptically since I couldn't just say, 'I know everything about the future.' right?
Kim Hannah's eyes stayed on mine behind my sunglasses as she debated on the edge of her seat if she would get up and leave or if it was worth it, if I was worth as much as I claimed to be worth.
"A single platinum coin and no more."
A smile made its way onto my face, hidden from Agnes and Kim Hannah.
"Ten. Not a single less."
"No. I can't do that. Sorry, even if I use my own personal funds to further this deal, I can't afford any more than two platinum coins."
"I guess it's time you took a loan then? I'm sure you have 'friends' who you could 'politely' 'ask' for money right? Not a single less than ten."
"Even if I 'politely' 'asked' for money. I don't think I have enough 'friends' to raise any more than five platinum coins."
"Hmm…" I thought about it for a bit before nodding, "Fine, deal. Five platinum coins it is. And after you pay me for looking at her, you can add in a simple hundred gold coins for me as an appreciation fee."
Kim Hannah frowned but I suspect she didn't say anything else because a hundred gold coins wasn't much of an amount after five platinum coins.
"I will pay you half before and half after you've tried healing her."
"Alright." I nodded.
"Shall we bring the young lady here for you to examine then?" Kim Hannah asked me while looking at Agnes.
Agnes nodded and politely left the room to fetch Yun Seora before sending a sharp glance Kim Hannah's way.
As soon as Agnes left the room Kim Hannah looked at me and scowled, "Remember, I will find out who you are and I will make sure I get back all those platinum coins you're trying to steal from me."
"Oh? Really? How will you do that?"
"My name isn't Miss Foxy for nothing. I'm the most feared handler among all in Paradise. And I will make sure you remember that."
"Oooo~ So scary. I feel like I'm going to pass out with how scared I am. Can I get you to go a little easy on me~~ Wooooo~~~"
Kim Hannah frowned as she asked with a little anger, "You think this is a joke? I promise you if I don't collect all my money from you and extract every last bit of it from you, my name won't remain Kim Hannah."
"Hehehehe~ Alright. We'll see. Maybe by the end of it all, you'll have no other way other than to come looking for me to save your sorry ass."
"I'd challenge you to be this bold without all the disguise your hiding behind."
"And I challenge you to be this bold without Sinyoung behind you."
Kim Hannah was about to retaliate but we all heard Agnes's footsteps outside the room.
Kim Hannah changed the frown on her face for a smile as she looked at Agnes who entered the room along with Yun Seorah.
Yun Seora was a small petite girl, with deep blue hair and deep blue eyes. She wore a hoodie with several small tears and scratches as she looked at everyone with hollow eyes.
Once our eyes met, I tried to appear as friendly as possible but my outfits just made me look like a radioactive contamination cleaner.
Yun Seora was made to sit beside Kim Hannah who spoke kindly to her to explain the situation.
"Young lady, I'm Kim Hannah. I work for Sinyoung and have been asked to help you in the Neutral Zone. We've noticed that your arm has been damaged and is causing you trouble, so we were wondering if we could help you heal it up."
Yun Seora looked at us and only shook her head, "It is not possible. I asked the maids and they said unless I had about a hundred thousand survival points I wouldn't be able to afford the ritual that would be needed for it."
Kim Hannah was silent for a few seconds before she placed her hand on Yun Seora's shoulder and spoke softly, "What if it is?"
