The negotiation team was stunned by Levi’s rapid-fire questions.
Erudia, as of that moment, would not lose to anyone with the Crown King and the Nine Lords protecting it!
Hence, there shouldn’t be anything to fear!
They didn’t need to bow to others’ requests!
However, in reality, that wasn’t the case.
“You do know Prince William die in Erudia, right?” Levi raised his eyebrow. “They have evidence that we’re the ones who killed him. The whole world is going against us. Right now, we’re in a disadvantageous position; so we have to fulfill their terms and conditions!” the negotiation team explained.
Levi grinned and questioned, “Are you saying our men really killed him?”
Everyone remained silent.
“If it wasn’t our men that killed him, then go and investigate! Find out who did it! Let the whole world know that Erudia is innocent! Look at yourselves. All you’re doing is to give in and compromise! This is no different from silently admitting that we’re the ones who did it! Then, the whole world will only know this distorted lie. Why are you letting yourselves be taken advantage of and fulfilling every request others demand of you?” Levi roared furiously.
It wasn’t just them.
Levi was pissed off by Lance as well.
Even though he had learned much, he was still incompetent.
“We did investigate, but we couldn’t find…” The negotiation team looked helpless.
“So you’ll just cave into his requests? Why are you afraid of him? If he wants to take revenge and start a war, then we’ll fight with him! There’s nothing to be afraid of with me around! Can you guys stop being such wimps? Just tell the whole world that we didn’t do it in confidence! We’ll find out the truth, so send that William II back home! If he doesn’t want to go back, we’ll just chase him away!” Levi scolded.
I’m only an ordinary man for one year, yet their guts and confidence had already waned? How can Erudians bow before a foreign power? What a shame! Levi was really pissed off.
“This isn’t the time for you to throw a temper tantrum! William II only gave us three hours to make you hand over your technique book. If you refuse, neither us nor you will be able to bear the consequences!” the negotiation team persuaded.
Levi sneered, “You want me to give you my technique book just to please William II? I can live with that, but I cannot live with the fact that ten of our innocent men will have to die!”
The negotiation team’s expression darkened. “We don’t have a choice! Their sacrifice is necessary!”
“And that somehow justifies the fact that you’re sending ten innocent men to their graves?”
The team immediately retorted, “Relax! We’ll take care of their families.”
“If you lot are so eager to sacrifice someone, why don’t you do it yourself? Hmm?” Levi questioned.
They remained silent.
Of course, they didn’t want to be sacrificed.
“This isn’t the time for arguments! Hand over your technique book! We don’t have much time left!”
Levi was fuming with anger. “Out! Get out of my sight! I won’t hand over my technique book! And don’t even think about sacrificing those men!”
Levi then waved his hand, sending a powerful gust of wind that blasted the negotiation team out. “I’ll break your limbs if I see you again!”
The negotiation team was terrified and ran away.
“This is bad! Levi isn’t willing to hand over his technique, nor does he allow any sacrifices!”
