Chapter Summary
However, there's something I hope you can understand: we're not here to cause trouble; we're the victims. Perry's eyes, no warrior could defeat a mage in a one-on-one fight, but this kid had indeed done it, and quite well at that. If you're not willing to give anything, then I think this matter can end here." Renault tidied up some documents in front of him.
"Mr. Perry's words make sense, and we won't pursue this matter too much. However, there's something I hope you can understand: we're not here to cause trouble; we're the victims. Mr. Yale came to our territory and destroyed our building like that. If it weren't for Mr. Liu's abilities, he might be dead by now. Your Mage Guild has been far too arrogant. But since you've chosen to negotiate, it means we still have something you want. It's not quite appropriate to be so forceful when you want what belongs to others."
Mr. Reno tried hard to suppress his emotions; otherwise, he might have said anything at all. Although Mr. Reno was a professional, this was the first time he had encountered such shamelessness. In the past, the Mage Guild would not admit its mistakes, but it would never distort the truth. Mr. Reno quickly figured out the reason: the other party did not want to pay too much, so they wanted to provoke Liu Ning into making a move. Therefore, Mr. Reno was not polite at this moment. After hearing Mr. Reno's words, Liu Ning felt relieved. Mr. Perry frowned, not expecting to shed tears in the first round. The trap he set had not been taken. Wasn't this guy supposed to be hot-blooded?
Mr. Perry glanced at Liu Ning behind him. If this guy hadn't caused such a scene with the Mage's Guild, he would definitely have invited him to join. In Mr. Perry's eyes, no warrior could defeat a mage in a one-on-one fight, but this kid had indeed done it, and quite well at that. At least he could sit here while our mage couldn't even open his eyes. From this, it was clear that this kid was a once-in-a-millennium genius. It was a pity that this kid had already become one of the Second Speaker's people, otherwise, he could have been recruited.
"Perhaps what I said just now was inappropriate, and if it has caused any displeasure, then I apologize for my inappropriate words and actions. However, you should also understand that mages have made tremendous contributions to all of humanity. They are few in number among humans, and whenever ferocious beasts attack our cities, we do need the mages' help. No one can deny their contributions, which is one of the reasons why the Human Council is lenient with them. Therefore, I hope you can consider the bigger picture. In the current situation, mages are even more important, and they should be given certain benefits. So I think these antidotes should be made available appropriately."
What this guy said is even more infuriating. Just because you made contributions, does that give you the right to kill and set fires in human society? Does that give you the right to wrongly accuse so many people? Didn't Liu Ning make any contributions? He single-handedly saved the city, and he rescued Leng Wuxue with his own abilities, which led to the modification of the laser cannon. What achievements has Mr. Yale made? He only killed a War God-level ferocious beast. If we compare him to Liu Ning, and if there were a metric to measure it, Mr. Yale would probably be a failure.
"What you're saying is unfounded. If we're really talking about contributions, Mr. Liu's contributions are in no way less than yours. This is documented by the Human Council and has been confirmed by many other organizations. It's not just us saying this, so I don't want to hear about this kind of thing. I just want to know one thing: the antidote is indeed in Mr. Liu's hands, but if you want the antidote, I want to know how much you're willing to give up. If you're not willing to give anything, then I think this matter can end here."
Renault tidied up some documents in front of him. It was time to end the negotiations, and Zhao Wudi was a little flustered. When he discussed it with Renault before, this point didn't seem to be mentioned at all. Renault's words at the time meant something else: we could ask for some compensation, and if the other side would give us face, the matter could be settled. There was no need to antagonize the Mage Guild. But what was the situation now? However, Liu Ning was very happy. What was there to be afraid of? Anyway, we didn't need them. On the contrary, they were the ones demanding that we be so assertive during negotiations. If we were always weak, there would be no good outcome in the end.
"Please wait a moment, let's not make things so tense. We may have been a little emotional during the negotiations, so let's calm down now. Let me reorganize my words. I think Mr. Liu wants some compensation, which is perfectly fine. Our Mage Guild doesn't lack that amount of money. However, Mr. Yale is a mage, one-fifth of all mages in the world. We can't let a mage lie here lying there. So we want to get the antidote as soon as possible, and then we can consider it a reconciliation. I wonder if Mr. Liu is satisfied with what I've said?"
Seeing that the negotiations were about to break down, Mr. Perry couldn't sit still any longer. Renault's lips curled up slightly. He had finally found the weakness in this old man. He had fought with him so many times in Central Base City, and he had never seen this old man bite the hand that fed him. Now, for that magician, he had to bow his head when he should and when he shouldn't. In fact, changing the negotiation strategy midway was a very hasty thing to do, and it could even be frightening to many people. But Renault still did it, and he did it quite well. Everyone was very clear about this. After all this was done, they would see how strong they were.
Zhao Wudi and Liu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. If the other party really didn't take this stance, then there was no point in continuing the discussion. Look at your arrogant attitude! The world respects magicians and has treated you like royalty. You clearly did something wrong, yet you expect them to apologize and compensate you. Is there such a good thing in the world? If you get all these good things, how are the other ordinary people supposed to live? Liu Ning isn't even an ordinary person. If you encountered ordinary people, you would definitely do something even more outrageous.
