Chapter Summary
The two are brothers, so there's no need for so much restraint when they speak. But Liu Ning and Lin Lei had known each other for a long time, so he knew that what Lin Lei said was the truth. If it was just an ordinary friend, then he was really sorry, there was nothing to say between them, and Lin Lei could do whatever he wanted as long as it didn't bother him.
The two are brothers, so there's no need for so much restraint when they speak. Liu Ning already knew this. If they weren't brothers, he wouldn't dare speak like this. Lin Lei, after all, has a temper. Although Lin Lei is a good person, he needs to change in this aspect. When Liu Ning speaks to Lin Lei now, the same warmth as before is gone. Back when they were in the wild, they were true brothers. But now, that tacit understanding has faded. This is because both of their strengths have increased, and they now have vested interests. The Mage Guild is only so big, and they might compete for some benefits, but they haven't become enemies yet because they both value their friendship.
If Lin Lei told this to anyone else, they probably wouldn't believe it. But Liu Ning and Lin Lei had known each other for a long time, so he knew that what Lin Lei said was the truth. That's just the kind of person he was; if his benefactor was in trouble, he'd take the blame himself. It seemed that person really treated Lin Lei well. Liu Ning wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't show leniency, and he didn't care if someone pleaded for him, but he had to consider what kind of person that was. If it was just an ordinary friend, then he was really sorry, there was nothing to say between them, and Lin Lei could do whatever he wanted as long as it didn't bother him. But it was different with Lin Lei; they were still brothers.
Only what is happening now is real; everything that will happen in the future is highly uncertain.
Everything Liu Ning said was the truth. Even though you are one of the four great families, you still need to be reasonable in your dealings. If you're unreasonable, then there's nothing more to discuss. That's the situation now. If you're unreasonable, then we don't need to talk about many things here; we might as well go outside and settle things with a fight to the death. With this mindset, Liu Ning has developed a habit: if you treat me with respect, I'll treat you with even more respect; but if you try to take advantage, then don't blame me for going too far. In the current situation, Liu Ning feels he has already made a huge concession. As for what you people are thinking, only you know. So, Liu Ning has nothing more to say; he needs to make you understand his capabilities.
Seeing Liu Ning's attitude, Lin Lei knew what was going on. It seemed the other party had thoroughly angered him. He didn't know what to say to those people. He'd given them a chance to negotiate earlier, and they'd instead just talked peacefully. Now look what they'd done! Did they really think Liu Ning wouldn't dare do anything to them? If that's what they thought, they'd suffer greatly later. Everyone dealing with Liu Ning had to strike a balance. Without that balance, this matter wouldn't be resolved. The situation was very clear; if things weren't handled well, many things would become unpredictable. Therefore, equality was essential.
Lin Lei patted Liu Ning on the shoulder. He had done what he could. He had originally planned to let the people outside in so that both sides could have a proper talk, but now it was unnecessary. The humans knew very well that Liu Ning wouldn't give them a chance, and the other side hadn't seized it either. If the Wang family had come with the intention of negotiation, the outcome would probably be different. The Shi family was in the same situation back then; getting the four major families to bow down was unlikely. Even now that Liu Ning had become a magician, they weren't thinking of bowing down much. They were only offering to allow Liu Ning to enter the profession, which sounded like a favor. Liu Ning truly hated people like that.
Lin Lei left just like that. Liu Ning greatly admired this young man. Just like before, he would never force his friend to do anything. As long as the other party didn't want to truly negotiate, Lin Lei had his own judgment. Liu Ning's request was correct. The agreement you proposed earlier clearly showed that you didn't take Liu Ning seriously. Under such circumstances, did you expect Liu Ning to change his mind? Absolutely not. As a middleman, Lin Lei knew very well how he should handle this matter. On the one hand, he couldn't put pressure on Liu Ning, and on the other hand, he couldn't let Liu Ning suffer losses. In the entire negotiation, if the two sides were not equal, the middleman couldn't continue. Lin Lei understood this better than anyone else, so he decided to leave this matter alone.
After Lin Lei said those words, Miss Wang closed her eyes in anguish. All the blame lay with her. If her family found out, she feared she wouldn't fare well. But then again, if they didn't know, who knew what the future held? In this situation, things would have to be handled as they were. If things went well, it would be good for everyone; if not, it would simply end like this. So, it all depended on how the Wang family responded. If they were strong enough, they could hold out for a while; if they had already ruined the company, there was no point in continuing. They would just have to see what happened next.
The car drove off, and the guards outside were also unsure what was going on. Anyway, it wasn't their concern; they had other things to do. Their young master was about to go to the Human Council to visit the Speaker, so they had to make proper preparations today. If there were any lapses in etiquette, they would lose face. This was their young master's first official trip, so the convoy had to be ready. The Mage Guild and the Human Council had been constantly at odds. While the Human Council was powerful, it was riddled with factions, unlike the Mage Guild, which was more united. The Mage Guild, as the second-largest organization in the human world, had never lost face, so they absolutely couldn't afford to do so today; everything had to be arranged perfectly.
