---- Chapter 2505 Devin chuckled calmly. "Who said | won't renew the contract? Of course, if you, Mr. Orben, feel
uncomfortable working with us or think the Iron Sword Sect isn't worth your time, then I'll have no choice but to
take my business elsewhere and find another partner." Theon's face went pale. He quickly said, "Mr. Kaplan, you
know that's not what | meant. | just got a little too worked up earlier. Iron Sword Sect is one of our must-have
partners at Sovereign's Apothecary." Andrew did not say a word. He simply listened quietly, though he could not
help but shake his head.
Every tsomething happened, that old fool Theon would lose his temper like his pants were on fire. He
completely forgot who was chasing whom in this negotiation. Right now, it was the Sovereign's Apothecary who
needed the Iron Sword Sect, not the other way around. Moreover, Devin was no ordinary man. He was sharp, one
of those rare types who could read a room before anyone else even realized they were being watched. In front of
someone like him, talking too much would only make you look like an idiot. ---- The only thing that could impress
Devin was real substance.
Without real offers or benefits, it did not matter how persuasive you sounded; he would not even look your way.
Devin scanned the room and paused on Andrew for a moment longer than usual before finally speaking. "Let's
cut to the chase. Earlier, Sovereign's Apothecary offered to keep the spricing but add 100 more third-grade
pills. That's your show of sincerity, and | appreciate that. But Andrew here also has something to say." He added,
"I've always believed in fairness and open discussion. Whether it's Sovereign's Apothecary or Andrew here, |
don't intend to offend either side.
So, I'll leave the decision to both of you; whichever offer makes the most sense for Iron Sword Sect, that's the
one we'll go with." The room fell silent. Augustin glanced between Andrew and Devin but stayed quiet. He was

would only make him look foolish, especially since he hoped to one day call Devin his father-in-law. Meanwhile,
Franco showed a flicker of irritation across his face. Mr.
Kaplan, from the way you're talking, it sounds like you actually plan to give this kid a chance?" --—- He snapped, "I
think that's absolutely ridiculous. Do you even realize the scale of what we're negotiating here? We're talking
about deals worth billions, and this punk thinks he can just show. up and get a seat at the table?" Devin smiled
faintly, clearly amused by the rising tension. He was not being kind to Andrew out of sentimentality, despite
mentioning Reginald and calling Andrew him so fondly. It was all about leveraging and seizing opportunities.
Being polite cost him nothing, but gaining more bargaining power cost plenty All Devin wanted was the best
possible deal for Iron Sword Sect, and whether Andrew or Sovereign's Apothecary won the fight, that was their
problem, not his. That was when Mikayla jumped in with a cold laugh. "You heard him, Andrew. Mr. McClure just
asked what gives you the right to even be here. Or did you show up just to embarrass yourself?" Franco
narrowed his eyes, a faint gleam of power flashing through them.
His strength was no joke; he was a
high-ranking Martial Saint, just one
step away from the level of a martial
emperor. Andrew finally spoke, his
