Hearing Xia Hong's words, Xia Chuan immediately nodded. He certainly wouldn't be so naive as to believe the two of them outright, as he had also considered these two possibilities.
"I thought of that too. Regardless of which possibility it is, they definitely want Solidified Fire Oil. I stalled them for a while, and finally, the two sides had no choice but to agree to give me 200 pounds."
As Xia Chuan spoke, a smile appeared on his face. This is the advantage of being in a superior position in negotiations; both sides are waiting for Solidified Fire Oil to save people. He grasped this point firmly, ensuring a deal where he couldn't lose.
"I can tell that 200 pounds is pretty much their limit. Using Silver Melting Water to save people must be quite painful for them. They'd rather give us 200 pounds to exchange for Solidified Fire Oil, which proves silver is indeed very important and rare."
