Chapter 122: An Easy Negotiation
"Those who believe that only money matters in business are foolish."
"They will never be able to use their creativity to use different things as leverage to become truly successful."
"A shrewd negotiator uses everything at his disposal as sometimes favours can be worth more than mere coin and be bartered for far more than expected."
"But this favour must have a special value."
"Something that even money cannot buy."
Reginald Coulan, creator and head of House Aurellion in dynasties online.

"50 gold!"
A gruff voice shouted over the bustle of Garthram’s marketplace where two people were haggling, one young with the fire of youth burning in him while the other was older and more wizened, his long brown beard denoting a man of many years of experience as he looked on the youth before him with cunning eyes wanting to fleece the young boy for all his worth.
"Are you trying to scam me? 30 gold is more than enough!"
A much younger voice shouted back, breaking occasionally as all teens’ voices do from time to time. While the young lord of House Aurellion was negotiating, two other men loomed behind him, but one was much larger than the other. The bigger one standing over 6 feet tall resting a large Morningstar on his right shoulder was Norfaelor implying the rather bloody consequences the merchant would suffer if he tried to scam Railius.
"You think I have the audacity to do such a thing? One swing of that thing, and I’ll have my head caved in!"
