"Five hundred thousand Points. Deal!"
When she heard Silas Hawthorne's incredibly straightforward agreement, Sue Lawrence was shocked herself.
'Five hundred thousand Points? Just like that? No haggling??'
'Hmm, okay, I guess not. He just agreed to my asking price, plain and simple.'
Sue Lawrence scratched her chin, extended her hand, and smiled. "A pleasure doing business with you."
Silas Hawthorne also shook her hand solemnly. "I only have one request. I hope you'll give me priority in any future collaborations."
The Taker's Superpower was already heaven-defying. On top of that, Sue Lawrence was backed by the Lawrence Group and had stockpiled a huge amount of supplies for the coming high temperatures, acid rain, and floods...
Sue Lawrence beamed. "In that case, I'd like to exchange some things from you. Any chance of a discount?"
Silas Hawthorne was at a loss for words.
'Is this partnership starting so soon?'
