Damian was intrigued by Vlad's offer, yet he maintained his composure, carefully assessing the young man before him. Countless calculations crossed his mind in mere moments as he silently stared into Vlad's confident eyes. Finally, he spoke, his voice measured and firm.
"I do indeed want those diagrams. However, the price, we will need to negotiate it further."
Vlad immediately recognized the calculating expression in the elder's eyes and swiftly took the initiative, asserting his own terms with confidence.
"Actually, Elder Damian, we are on the same side in this matter," Vlad explained calmly, showing a composed smile. "I don't want a mere one hundred thousand military credits. Rather, I propose receiving a percentage of the net profits of each Demon Cage sold. Specifically, 15% for each Mortal Tier sold, 7% for Champion Tier, and 2% for Guardian Tier."
