Chapter Summary
In fact, Liu Ning knew very well that if he hadn't made any promises, why would someone travel all the way here? It could only be that the Second Speaker had spoken up, and Liu Ning would have to choose a side from now on, whether he wanted to or not. However, Zhao Wudi held onto Liu Ning tightly, saying that as long as they don't take action, no matter what the other party is thinking, they will not be able to put it into practice.
When Mr. Renault finished speaking, Liu Ning seemed to understand something. No wonder he sent someone of such caliber to negotiate for him. It seemed that Zhao Wudi had already promised him something. Zhao Wudi looked indifferent on the side. In fact, Liu Ning knew very well that if he hadn't made any promises, why would someone travel all the way here?
Even with Zhao Wudi's abilities, it was impossible for him to persuade these people. It could only be that the Second Speaker had spoken up, and Liu Ning would have to choose a side from now on, whether he wanted to or not. For Liu Ning, although he might lose some freedom, the situation would be very favorable. He would have a powerful backer and wouldn't have to continue being a nobody.
Mr. Renault wanted to give the other party a way out, and then have them symbolically offer something, and that would be the end of it for us. However, judging from the situation on the ground, it probably wouldn't be that easy. The main reason was that Liu Ning was too stubborn. Even if we made a decision, Liu Ning might overturn it. To put it bluntly, he didn't play by the rules. He was like a newborn calf that wasn't afraid of tigers. He didn't know what the Mage Guild would do and just did everything according to his own whims.
The negotiations between the two sides were tense, but their words were quite beautiful. If Liu Ning didn't know the real situation, he would have really thought that these people were as close as family. During the negotiations, both sides were extremely humble, but the art of words is very beautiful. If you can't understand it, you will really think that they are good friends. If you can understand it, you will naturally understand how fierce the struggle was just now.
Liu Ning hated this feeling. Since his rebirth, he could make decisions and complete everything, but this matter seemed to have nothing to do with him. Regardless of the outcome of the negotiations, or whether the outcome was favorable or unfavorable to him, he had not participated in the whole thing. Liu Ning felt very uncomfortable. Although things had already turned out this way, Liu Ning felt that sometimes he couldn't do things this way. There was still no good answer as to what the final outcome would be.
In fact, Liu Ning understood that without the Second Speaker, he would probably have been killed long ago. This was no laughing matter, so he had to think things through carefully. If he acted impulsively, there would probably be no good outcome. One cannot be impulsive in the lower classes, and even less so in the upper classes. Yale was in such a predicament because he hadn't disciplined his children properly and always wanted to defeat those stronger than himself. Otherwise, the Mage Guild wouldn't have been in such a passive position. Not only had this kid disgraced them, but they also had to find someone to clean up their mess.
"We've pretty much finished exchanging our opinions, so I'll get straight to the point. Our Mage Guild has always been people-oriented, and we don't want to dwell on things too much. We just want Mr. Yale out of danger. Once this is over, everything else will be fine. We also guarantee we won't pursue this matter further, and Mr. Liu's life won't be disturbed in any way. What do you think of what I've said?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Renault frowned. If Zhao Wudi hadn't held him back, Liu Ning might have gone up to argue with them. Only then did Liu Ning realize that he had lost all initiative. All the initiative was no longer in his hands, but in Mr. Renault's. Whatever Mr. Renault said would be done, and it was best for him to stay on the sidelines.
From the conversation just now, Mr. Renault also sensed that the other party had already reached their limit. If they could still hold back, they would never have said these things. It's just that none of you understand the art of conversation. In the current situation, can't you just be a little more patient? If you don't know how to be patient and still act like big shots, then don't blame us for not giving you face.
Mr. Reno used to deal with people from the Mage's Guild quite often, and now he's infuriated by these guys. It was clearly you who started the trouble, but here it's all someone else's problem. Even if you want the antidote, you have to make some sacrifices. Now, you don't want to pay anything, you just want to let this all pass peacefully. How is that possible? Haven't we suffered any losses? Don't we care about our reputation? According to your logic, if we just hand over the antidote and you don't pursue the matter, will this all be over? What a joke! Do you think we can't face the world anymore? If we agree, not only will Liu Ning lose face, but even the Second Speaker will lose face.
When the other party said this, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face to all the major forces behind Liu Ning, letting them be arrogant and daring to go against our Mage Guild. We really didn't take them seriously during the negotiations.
Liu Ning was furious. If Zhao Wudi hadn't held him back, he probably would have already attacked. This was clearly an insult to them. It wasn't like they wanted to fight the mages; they were the ones who came to their territory. The entire building was almost destroyed and would need reinforcement and repairs, which would significantly reduce its value. Liu Ning had never suffered such a loss before. If anyone dared to act recklessly on their turf, they would pay a bloody price sooner or later. But now, everything was decided by them, while they were left unscathed.
To be honest, Zhao Wudi was also quite uncomfortable, precisely because he was afraid of such a situation. In fact, this was a negotiation tactic. If the other party provokes your anger, you will lose your rationality for a period of time and may do something excessive. At that time, the other party may take action. Currently, the other party's armed forces are stronger. Once they capture Liu Ning, they may not have to pay anything. This is their wishful thinking. However, Zhao Wudi held onto Liu Ning tightly, saying that as long as they don't take action, no matter what the other party is thinking, they will not be able to put it into practice.
