Chapter 289: Hidden Weapons

"Cooperations?" Chu Munan's eyebrow lifted, amusement flashed in his orbs. "May I know what kind of cooperation do you want?"

"Creating weapons. Our company is expert in creating weapons."

"Miss Xi, our Chu Family doesn't lack weapons. We are one if not the wealthiest family in the country. How could we lack the weapons to defend ourselves?"

"I am not talking about weapons to defend yourself, but weapons that can be used to attack. Chu Munan, although your Chu Family is wealthy, you can only buy guns and bullets. But I am not talking about guns or swords. I am talking about hidden weapons."

For the first time, the light in Chu Munan's eyes changed. "Please explain." The Chu Family is indeed very wealthy, and they could hire people to defend them. They could also pay for the best training, but complications like greed and betrayals are still a threat to them. For instance, years ago, a child from their family was kidnapped by the expert that they hired. Luckily, the child survived, but they had to pay hundreds of millions. Moreover, the person who kidnapped the child also escaped!

Seeing the interest in the man's eyes, Lyca started explaining the principle of her weapons. "Hidden weapons like this needle." Lyca showed him a needle that was about five inches tall. It was thin and the lighting could easily hide it.

"That — That is just like the needle that you used to kill the woman that accompanied Zar Clint!" Chu Munan exclaimed.

"Precisely." She nodded. "I used this exact weapon to kill a woman that was a poison expert." Then she showed the bracelet that she designed herself. "This can shoot up to three needles at the same time. Maximum capacity is twelve needles." Of course, the quality of these weapons was lower compared to the ones that she made for Shen Qui and the others.

"Miss Xi, you must give me something more than this. Our people can easily create something like this. I would assume there is something unique about these needles?"

"Poison." Lyca smiled. "A chemical capable of melting flesh."

"You — this is just like the bullet that the Long Family created!"

Lyca only smiled and didn't correct him. "But more dangerous. After all, the needle along with the poison will melt once they hit the flesh or anything other than metal. Once they melt, the poison will spread, rotting the flesh."

"This… "

"Is extremely dangerous," she finished his sentence. Smiling, Lyca took a sip at her tea while observing the man's facial reaction.

"Why our Chu Family?" Chu Munan wasn't some brainless businessman. This product is extremely dangerous, so he immediately felt suspicious about this matter. Clearly, what happened at the club was a scheme created by Lyca to attract their Chu Family's attention.

However, even Chu Nan, his twin brother, wasn't able to analyze this scheme. Without Chu Munan here, Chu Nan wouldn't find out the needles that were mixed in the puddle of liquid in that room. Then, they wouldn't have guessed that Zar Clint was indeed dead, melted into a puddle of a strange liquid that they haven't seen before.

Chu Nan immediately got angry and said that Lyca was probably targeting the Chu Family. However, Chu Munan was sensible enough to analyze everything. If Lyca wanted to target the Chu Family, then she wouldn't be this bold. After all, killing Zar Clint would attract the ire of the Clint Family, and doing it publicly was just too dangerous. It was simple. Lyca did it because she wanted to attract someone's attention, and since they were the only prominent family that just arrived, he immediately concluded that there should be a hidden message in all this.

So, he concluded that perhaps Lyca wanted to talk to them. Perhaps she wanted to attract the Chu Family's attention. She must have known that someone from the Chu Family's main branch would help out the Chu Family side branch. This meeting and offer of cooperation was enough proof that his previous assumption about this woman was correct.

Lyca Huang was a cunning and calculating person.

"If I say that it was because you are rich, will you believe me?" Lyca said, showing no embarrassment. This was truly another reason why she wanted to cooperate with this family. They are rich and not as strong as the Shen and Xu Family. Of course, she wasn't planning to tell them her second and third reason.

"You mean— "

"I mean, this is not going to be cheap. How could I choose a mediocre family? I need some people who can afford my products."

"Products?"

Lyca snorted. "You heard it right."

"You mean you have more than one of this type of weapon?"

Lyca nodded. "However, I don't want to sound boastful." She said. "It is best if you check my story by finding out the reason the Long Family swallowed my Huang Family and claimed that they made those bullets."

This revelation silenced Chu Munan. Realization settled in his eyes as he nodded. "I see. However, I cannot make the decision now. I need to talk to some elders first. If it's alright with you, I will invite you to visit our Ath Province in the north to convince the elders. After all, this is a very important matter that involves the security of the whole clan."

"That — " Lyca hesitated for a few seconds before she said, "I will call you once I decide to visit your place. For now, I am going to focus on the next security company assembly and— "

"You are planning to join?" This was enough to surprise Chu Munan. After all, the Chu Family had been investing in security companies for their own safety.

Lyca smiled. "Of course. How else would I showcase my weapons in the world if— "

"You are planning to sell your weapons to other people?"

"Mr. Chu… the Chu Family didn't show any interest in my weapons. Did you think I only have one option? The reason why I approached you this time is that you are rich. However, that doesn't mean that other families couldn't really afford my weapons. If the Chu Family— "

"Give me until tonight." Chu Munan said. "I will call you tonight about this matter. Miss Huang, these weapons are very important to my Chu Family. If you can create something suitable for women like necklaces or bracelets that could defend them, then that would be better."

"I can create something like that."

"Then I will call you tonight. Please wait for my call!" Chu Munan didn't even wait for Lyca to say something as he ran out of the cafe to make a phone call.
