The Guardian's Sword

Forget about making money that way, they were even losing money!

Selling the stronghold giant crossbow at the manufacturer's price looked like they
were breaking even, but you had to factor in labor and shipping costs.

These two added up to tens of thousands of Union dollars. Therefore, if one gave
20% off and sold the stronghold giant crossbow at the manufacturer's price, he
would be losing money!

Ronald clenched his fist. He wanted to punch Alfie in the face.

The old man would lose money to compete with me and beat me. How
despicable!

But I can't offer a lower price and lure Sean with a 20% discount. Because the
Townsend family isn't as wealthy as the Wagner family.

If Ronald also offered 20% off, Alfie might go even lower.

That way, Ronald would always be one step behind Alfie. There was no way he
could compete with him!

Alfie smiled and turned to look at Ronald, saying smugly, "Mr. Townsend, are you
going to offer a 20% discount too? Maybe Commander Lennon will choose the
Townsend family!"

The sarcasm made Ronald's expression change with anger. However, there was
nothing he could say. He was no match for him. It was true that the Townsend
family was not yet willing to lose money.

Lorenzo also looked smug.

The old man had refused his proposal so many times. He would not marry Lillian
to him! He had now hit a brick wall!

If you had the sense to marry your daughter to me, would this have happened?
Lorenzo's face lit up with glee at the thought. He was even on the verge of
laughing.

Just then, Sean suddenly said, "I don't want either of your stronghold giant
crossbows."

As soon as he said this, the large office instantly turned silent.

The smile on Alfie's face, which had just been triumphant, froze. He became
extremely embarrassed. The way he looked at Sean was full of disbelief.
Lorenzo was disgusted. It was as if he had swallowed a fly. Ronald was
overjoyed and relieved.

"Why? Why? Commander Lennon, the stronghold giant crossbow resold by the
Wagner family is so much cheaper than the stronghold giant crossbow resold by
the Townsend family. We're even losing money. Why wouldn't you buy it?" Alfie
could not help asking, his voice rising a few decibels.

"Watch your tone! You're talking to Commander Lennon!" Zander chided.

Alfie awkwardly took two steps back, but the look on his face was still as ghastly
as ever.

Sean looked at Ronald before looking at Alfie and saying, "You gave me a
discount, so I have to buy it? What's the difference between you forcing people to
buy?"

"No, Commander Lennon, I didn't mean that. I just don't understand... This is a
great deal for the city defense army. Why did you turn us down?" Alfie asked
cautiously.

He was disappointed and even angry, but he dared not lose his temper.

The man in front of him was the commander-in-chief of the city defense army. If
he disrespected him, he and his son could forget about leaving here alive today!
Hearing Alfie's words, Sean smiled faintly and glanced at Lorenzo, who looked
equally ghastly.

Then Sean said, "I'm not sure about the Wagner family's products because of the
Wagner family's bad morals and bad manners..."

"What?"
