All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 956 A Gathering

After hearing Zobber's request, Black Robe burst into laughter, as if he had heard a particularly amusing joke. "Zobber, you may be small, but your appetite is certainly not!"

Mocked by Black Robe, Zobber immediately jumped up to refute. She said, "I'm 5.5 feet. Are you making fun of me for being short?

This unexpected remark left Black Robe momentarily speechless. As Catherine had mentioned, Zobber was unpredictable and hard to control.

Turning serious, Black Robe decided not to joke with Zobber any longer to avoid delaying matters. "Zobber, I can tell you clearly. Getting Catherine's research results is absolutely impossible. If you're not willing, I can find someone else. With the Duncan Corporation, I believe many people would be willing to serve me. As for you, if you don't cooperate with me, I'm sure you know what awaits you. No need for me to say more, right?"

Indeed, Zobber knew what awaited her. She would be constantly hunted, face continuous troubles, and have a life of hiding and evading. Just thinking about it. Zobber couldn't help but shudder. She smiled pleasingly at Black Robe. "Let's discuss it again. I don't need it all. Half is enough."

Black Robe remained silent, and Zobber continued, "If half won't work, then one-third."

With Zobber still in a bargaining mood, Black Robe spoke again, his tone much more serious this time. "Zobber, this isn't a market. There's no need for you to haggle here. If I say no, it's no. The conditions are set. You make your choice."

After much contemplation, Zobber finally made a decision. "Alright. I'll take a loss. Let's go with what you said." Then she added, "Hurry and give orders. What should I do next?" Zobber looked eagerly at the man, appearing quite anxious. I'll finish it as soon as possible and settle this matter."

Black Robe narrowed his eyes and looked at her coldly. "Go back for now. I'll inform you if needed.

Since there was no intention to act now, she didn't need to be in a hurry. Zobber promptly stood up and left the scene.

Once she was far away, Finn dared to speak, whispering, "Sir, Zobber daring to make such requests, is there something influencing her from behind?"
