"Sorry, Lady Selena, 2K isn't enough," Liam replied.
He wasn't being greedy—but this was about getting a fair price.
2K, to him, still didn't match the task.
Selena could only furrow her brows after hearing his firm answer.
Before she could say anything, Liam added, "It has to be 3K—not a single point less."
He suspected the woman wanted to raise the payment but only slightly above 2K. There was no way he would agree to that.
Seeing the look on his face, the woman fell silent for quite a while.
"I'll pay 2K now, the rest after we get there," she said at last.
As a top-level executive, she usually never gave in during negotiations, but this was a personal matter—and she couldn't find a replacement for Liam.
Liam thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"If you pay 3K now, I can use it to buy items that will increase my strength. That would raise our chances of actually making it to your home," he said.
He imagined buying Mana or Strength Pills as he spoke.
