Seeing the whispers and murmurs rising, Han Yu did not give them time to protest.
"Five years of free maintenance included."
The whispers slowed.
"Exclusive servicing rights. Any issues, any damage, any instability, brought directly to me."
The murmurs changed tone.
"And if you are not satisfied…"
He paused again.
"I replace it."
That ended the resistance.
The hesitation in the crowd shifted into calculation.
Han Yu could almost see it happening.
Merit points being weighed against value. Risks being compared to potential gain. Pride being quietly set aside in favor of opportunity.
One of the High Elders finally spoke.
"And the upgrades that we heard about?"
Han Yu nodded immediately.
"Available. Customizable. You bring your existing Jiangshi. I improve them. If the process fails, you are compensated fully."
Another elder leaned forward.
"You take full responsibility?"
