Chapter 710: 226. Redface Blackface_2
“I found that the two of us make an ideal drama duo. I wield the big stick, threaten the enemy, and you play the diator, making the enemy surrender. As long as we cooperate well, one plays the good cop, and the other plays the bad cop, basically all the malicious wizard families will be much more restrained.”
“Good cop? Bad cop?” Selena, faced with an unfamiliar phrase, thought for a mont, combined with the context, and understood the aning:
“Ah, yes, I think so too. Your appearance has given the confidence to deal with people like Dickler Fegan, and secured more bargaining power and negotiation chips.
“Take Festa’s death, for example. It’s enough to sound an alarm bell for Dickler Fegan. If I were him and his family’s secret guard, I would be more restrained for a while.”
Noland Lee raised his hand, gently rubbing his chin, and said with a smile:
“What if they don’t restrain themselves, but intensify instead, Selena? If that happens, what will you do? Won’t you have to let eliminate them in the end?”
Selena cradled her arms, supporting the full moon:
“They will restrain themselves, Jarvis, trust .
“These wizard families have existed for so many years, relying not only on the power of magic but also on their cunning and resourcefulness. When they find that the situation is beyond their expectation, they will not take more aggressive actions, but instead withdraw below the surface, examine their opponents, figure out the enemy’s details, and wait for the right opportunity to strike again.
“In the anti, they will keep a low profile, wait for half a year or a year before stirring up new incidents.”
Selena said:
“I admit, when you eliminated Festa, I was extrely shocked, even sowhat disturbed. But now I’ve cald down, carefully considering the impact of this matter. I think that after I propose a negotiation, within seven days at most, Dickler Fegan will send a letter admitting faults and voluntarily giving in, and make a donation to the Academy without compensation, in exchange for our forgiveness.”
Noland Lee asked:
“Oh? What if you don’t receive the letter and donations in seven days?”
Selena shook her head:
“That shouldn’t happen…”
Noland Lee snapped his fingers:
“I’ll rephrase the question, Selena. The letter and donations you receive only represent Dickler Fegan’s attitude towards you, not his attitude towards .
“Haven’t you considered this? Dickler Fegan, due to the Deep Sea Branch and Hotams, dare not do anything to you, but he doesn’t plan to let go of a First Rank Wizard like .
“Haven’t you forgotten? Even knowing my close relationship with you and that I am a Cooperative Defense Enforcent Wizard appointed by you, he still ticulously planned an assassination attempt against .
“You said it yourself that based on your understanding of Dickler Fegan, he won’t easily give up. So why did you beco optimistic about his future actions after returning to this Study Room?”
Weakness.
Indecision.
Blurred stance.
Noland Lee saw these flaws in Selena.
But it wasn’t her fault.
If soone else were in her position, they too would make decisions based on the “greater good” from an overall consideration. Noland Lee’s experiences, personal abilities, and demands were rely bargaining chips for Selena in negotiating with Dickler Fegan and not her “greater good.”
Noland Lee imdiately saw through the weaknesses in Selena’s human nature and pointed out her problems.
Facing Noland Lee’s questioning, Selena touched her forehead and sighed:
“Jarvis, I won’t let the thing about the assassination happen again; please trust . I will emphasize your identity as a Cooperative Defense Enforcent Wizard in my reply to Dickler Fegan.”
Noland Lee said:
“According to our soul contract, the first article, the fifth clause, as long as what I do is in line with the Ulnas Circle’s laws, you cannot interfere with my actions and must provide cover for my legal actions. Do you rember that?”
“Yes, I rember. If you really intend to eliminate Dickler Fegan and his family secret guards, I can only assist you.” Selena covered her forehead, quite distressed.
“How about this, Selena.” Noland Lee thought for a mont and said:
“Considering that you bear the heavy responsibility of the Suman Archipelago wizard forces, and I don’t want to act recklessly just because of the soul contract, I’m willing to make so concessions.”
“What?”
Selena looked towards Noland Lee, hope flashing in her eyes.
If he agreed to make concessions and not eliminate Dickler Fegan and the family secret guards, that would be great.
Noland Lee recalled Festa’s mories in his mind, selected a few important numbers, and said:
“Didn’t you say that Dickler Fegan would donate a sum of gold coins to the Deep Sea Branch to obtain your forgiveness? So, as long as the amount of gold coins is no less than 7.9 million, I will let him go.”
“7.9 million!?” Selena was stunned:
“Are you serious?”
“What, you don’t think Dickler Fegan and his family secret guard’s lives are worth 7.9 million?” Noland Lee sneered and said:
“Heh, this is the money for buying their lives. If he can’t co up with it, I’ll just have to take their lives instead. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t give him a chance to catch his breath.”
Selena took a slight breath, as the full moon visibly rose and fell:
“Alright… alright… I’ll ntion it in the letter to him.”
