Chapter 1297 Non-Exclusive Contract

Chapter 1297 Non-Exclusive Contract

Considering the importance of the matter at hand, Valeria began to explore other options in her head.
She contemplated the possibility of seeking out other prominent clans and organizations in the weapon manufacturing business. House Lancelot, a pioneering organization in artifact manufacturing, crossed her mind as a potential alternative as well. Known for their expertise and innovation, they were considered a prime choice for those seeking top-quality weapons.
Valeria knew that any decision regarding the acquisition of weapons for her people required careful consideration and evaluation. She would not rush into an arms deal without ensuring that the supplier could meet their needs efficiently and reliably.
As the discussion with Eren concluded, she resolved to explore all available avenues and gather more information before making a final decision. Valeria was determined to secure the best weapons for her people, ensuring their safety and bolstering their chances in the face of any potential conflicts or threats. After all, there were turbulent times ahead. Their resources needed to be used wisely.
"I'm sorry Eren, but I don't think we should…"
Valeria's words hung in the air, ready to decline Eren's offer, but he swiftly interjected, cutting her off mid-sentence. "Please, allow me to clarify my previous words, Matriarch Valeria," Eren insisted, straightening himself and running his fingers through his hair, a subtle gesture of composure. He spoke in a careful tone, determined to convey his message effectively.
"I don't mean to propose an exclusive arms deal, Matriarch Valeria," Eren explained, meeting her narrowed gaze with unwavering confidence. "To be frank, what I specialize in is producing and upgrading weapons in bulk quantities." He nodded, acknowledging her doubt before confirming her assumption.
"That's right. You are free to explore other alternatives when it comes to equipping your best fighters with top-tier artifacts. However, I am offering an arms deal that can equip your masses with quality artifacts, ensuring exceptional results for the price you pay. These products would be best-in-class."
As Eren spoke, Isadora, who had been patiently listening, finally showed signs of interest. She looked at Eren with a discerning gaze and asked in a cold voice, "How much of a price difference are we talking about, Eren?" Her curiosity had been piqued, and Eren was ready to seize the opportunity.
A smile tugged at the corners of Eren's lips as he responded promptly, aware of the weight his answer held. "Conservatively speaking, if you were to purchase the same kind of artifacts from other organizations outside your autonomous zones, you would have to pay double the price.
Yet, my products would still yield comparable results for the most part. However, if you choose to finalize the arms deal with me now, I will offer you an additional 10 percent discount. This discount will be valid for the entirety of our contract if and when you sign it."
Eren bowed respectfully before the four Matriarchs, his voice filled with careful consideration. "I apologize for presenting this offer with a sense of urgency, but I must inform you that it does come with an expiration date. Given the high demand for arms deals, as I am currently pursuing agreements with numerous other organizations, there will come a point where our manufacturing quota will be reached, and I won't be able to cater to your needs."
The four Matriarchs exchanged glances, the weight of their decision evident in their expressions. Eren had put them in a challenging position with his deadline. They had initially planned to conduct market research before finalizing an arms deal with Eren or any other party. However, the temptation of a 10 percent discount lingered, hinting at the significant impact it could have on a long-term agreement.
The room fell into contemplative silence as the Matriarchs weighed their options, knowing that this decision would have far-reaching consequences for their settlements.
Eren surveyed the doubtful faces of the four Matriarchs, determined to find an alternative way to convince them. His gaze shifted behind him, landing on Callista, who patiently waited for him to conclude his meeting. A playful smile curved his lips as he turned back to the leaders, his eyes shining with confidence.
"Seeing is believing, my dear ladies," Eren began, his voice brimming with conviction. "Allow me to dispel your doubts with a demonstration of my bulk weapons. I propose a duel between Callista and myself. She would make the perfect opponent to showcase the capabilities of my artifacts." Eren's words carried a hint of excitement, a daring challenge to prove his claims.
Callista, unfazed by the realization that she was being used to further Eren's agenda, spoke up in agreement. "Hehe, I'm all for it, Matriarch Valeria. I'll take on this guy and see if his artifacts truly live up to his boasts. Rest assured, I won't go easy on him," she declared, her right fist meeting her left palm with a resounding smack. Her voice resonated with eagerness and urgency, eagerly anticipating the forthcoming battle.
She had been caught off guard by Eren's brief interaction, allowing him to gain an advantage through his soul sense alone. However, during his conversation with the Matriarchs, Callista fortified her soul using an exclusive Amazonian technique. She believed she had adequately prepared herself to counter Eren's advantage, confident in her ability to match his prowess.
Valeria saw no reason to refuse Eren's proposal for a live demonstration of his bulk weapons. Observing the duel unfold would provide invaluable insight to aid the Matriarchs in their decision-making process. She nodded at Eren, her expression serious and determined. "Very well, Eren. A duel it shall be. Callista will bring out the true potential of your bulk weapons," she declared, her gaze shifting towards Callista, silently acknowledging her role in the forthcoming display.
Evelina chimed in, her tone a mixture of playfulness and warning. "I'm also on board with this demonstration, Eren. But remember, you must refrain from using your regular weapons. If you're pitching the bulk weapons deal, we want to see you exclusively wielding them," she cautioned, ensuring that Eren's showcase aligned with their specific interests.
With the agreement set and expectations defined, the atmosphere crackled with anticipation. The upcoming duel promised to reveal the true capabilities of Eren's bulk weapons, providing the four Matriarchs with the final piece of the puzzle they needed to solidify their decision.
