title = Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! Chapter N

The moment Julian appeared, many eyes fixed upon him.

Soon, someone recognized the black-and-gold Joker emblem on his cuffs.

“Joker p>

“He actually came in person p>

“It looks like tonight’s merchandise is definitely not simple p>

“If it’s enough to draw Joker out, Project Zero-Transit must be hiding something far

more valuable than we imagined p>

Low murmurs rippled through the crowd.

Joker, one of the most enigmatic buyers in the international arms trade.

No one knew his true identity.

Nor did anyone know just how many underground weapons channels he controlled.

They only knew one thing.

Any deal that warranted Joker’s personal appearance was never small.

“Joker?” A surprised voice called out. “I didn’t expect you to be here too p>

The speaker was a middle-aged man.

He wore a half-metal mask, held a wine glass, and was flanked by two towering bodyguards.

Julian shot him a look and recognized the man.

The middleman for the European gray energy market.

Silas ‘The Hyena’ Varga.

The Hyena approached with a smile. “Someone spread a rumor last time that you were planning to pull out of the Asian arms circuit. I thought it was true p>

Julian accepted a drink from a passing waiter but didn’t take a sip, merely swirling

the amber liquid. “Even if I did pull out, someone would need the appetite to swallow it p>

The Hyena’s smile stiffened.

Several onlookers who were eavesdropping quietly averted their gazes.

Julian’s tone was mild, but the implication was crystal clear.

Even if he tossed his network aside, not just anyone had the lifespan to handle it.

The Hyena let out an awkward

laugh True, true. Aside from youet

really no one who can keep a

the Asian circuit p>

He glanced around, lowering his voice. “But you probably didn’t come all this way

just for weapons, did you p>

Julian looked at him. “What do you know p>

The Hyena’s eyes flickered. He didn’t answer immediately, just raised his glass with

a grin. “Information is a commodity, too p>

Julian’s smile remained unchanged. “Name your price p>

The Hyena’s eyes lit up. “Straightforward. I like that p>

He leaned in closer, his voice a whisper. Tonly heard that Project Zero-Transit brought aboard a batch of merchandise that has never appeared in the black market before p>

“Not guns, not drugs, and not standard experimental samples p>

The Hyena licked his lips. “I heard they’re sentient p>

Julian’s hand paused in swirling his drink for a fraction of a second. But he quickly recovered.

He said flatly, “Sentient cargo? There’s plenty of that on this ship p>

The Hyena shook his head. “This batch is different. The operators have kept it tightly under wraps

premiumg

Even Brennum bøyers like us have to

wait for the official auction.

“But A greedy glint appeared in his eyes. “To bring so many medical experts on

board, it must be worth an astronomical sum p>

Julian took a slow sip of his drink.

Yet his eyes turned completely frigid.

It seemed the Obsidian Sun truly intended to use Project Zero-Transit to transport or dispose of those Semi-Finished Assets.

The Hyena continued to probe. “Joker, if you’ve got any insider info, why don’t we partner up p>

Julian lifted his gaze to him, his expression mild and his smile faint. “Partner up p>

The Hyena nodded. “I’ll provide the capital, you provide the channels. Once we secure the goods, we split the profits p>

Julian let out a soft chuckle. “And what exactly do you have to offer that makes you think you deserve a cut p>

The Hyena’s face froze.

Julian had already looked away, dismissing him entirely.

His tone wasn’t harsh, nor was he deliberately mocking.

But that casual, dismissive arrogance was more humiliating than a slap in the face.
