Chapter 978 Failed Negotiations
After Minos finished speaking, the people in that area were even more confident that they couldn't go wrong with him, as not even his father's past seemed to matter in his decisions.
People could be good or bad. However, even murderers or scoundrels usually had their limitations, which would make them stop and rethink or even give up their intentions.
But there was one particularly dangerous kind of person in this world. That was the one who had no limitations, who gave no importance to honor, status, social standards, family, etc.
These people could do anything, at any time, even go against a parent's decisions. Hell, they could even destroy what was built by their parents and was supposed to be protected.
As much as Minos' comment was not enough to put him in this category of people, the people there could not help but consider it.
And in this case, they could only fear this young man even more since it was often more complicated to deal with someone without principles than with a standard enemy.
King Brown realized this and said. "Diana, don't get involved in this. Your strength has improved greatly, but with the current level of the conflict, you won't help at all."
"You'd better return to your sect and wait until all this is over."
"What?" She said in surprise as she felt her old father indicating for her to sit down and be quiet. "Father..."
"This person is hazardous, and he will not be moved because of your history with Albert. So leave it to your elders and me. We have a plan to deal with him."
"But..."pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ
"No buts!"
As those members of the Brown family talked in low voices in their small area, the discussions in that place continued.
Minos then said in a calm tone. "I will give you two days to think about this offer. In the meantime, I will continue in this Church camp, waiting for your responses."
"Tsk!"
"We don't need two days. We refuse, of course!" A few voices arose there simultaneously.
But Minos was not bothered by this. Instead, he stood up, gestured to his women, and said as he walked out. "Don't answer so quickly."
"I will wait for the two days, and then we will talk one last time." He stopped in the middle of his walk and looked back. "After that, there will be no turning back."
"Be prepared for the consequences!"
"I am not threatening you. That is a promise."
"Trust me. You don't want to be on the wrong side when something unprecedented in the region happens..." pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴoᴠᴇʟ
After that, he disappeared from that place alongside his women and mother, leaving an area filled with chaotic thoughts and silence. But as he was leaving the area, he had looked in a specific direction, his eyes shining in the colors of the rainbow...
"That little bastard!"
"He knows how to talk big!"
"But it's easy to talk that way while you have a level 69 person on your side... I'd like to see if he has the guts to talk that when he's not under his mother's skirt!" A Spiritual Emperor said this in an irritated tone, looking at the location from where Minos left with a contemptuous expression on his face.
"Tsk!"
'Idiots like you may say that, but I know he's not joking or depending on his mother!' One of the Spiritual Kings in Blake's group remembered what had happened at his family's headquarters.
At the same time, other people there who had met Minos in Maisie's absence were thinking about how wrong some of these comments were about his figure.
Minos had always acted dominantly against his enemies. As such, these people could not help but shiver with fear at the thought of what might be on that young man's mind.
Even Gloria wondered what he was going to do next, being also a little irritated that he had ruined the whole negotiation set up by her.
'This Minos...' She clenched her jaw tightly, feeling an inevitable frustration that Minos did not act as she expected. 'I knew he wouldn't easily communicate with these people, but he didn't even try to be a little more friendly!' ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
'He just acted as if these people were nothing!'
Meanwhile, Oriel had a smile on his face, finding it amusing to watch young Stuart in action. "That fellow is fascinating."
"Luke, you said you fought with him once... What was he like back then? Do you think that was pure baseless arrogance? Or can he act like that?"
Luke closed his mouth, which had been open for almost twenty minutes, and swallowed his saliva. He then answered. "When I fought him, Minos was only at the beginning of the 4th stage, but he was already stronger than someone at the beginning of the 5th stage."
"On the other hand, when he got stronger, and I saw him in the Spiritual Tournament, he didn't decrease his fighting proficiency at all. On the contrary, he even looked stronger."
"So, from what I've heard from my family and his history, I believe his earlier words are not grounded in his trust in that woman but himself." He finished his analysis.
"Oh?" Oriel smiled, looking sideways in the direction Warner was standing, realizing that such a man also seemed interested in what would happen next. "We will stay in this place for two more days."
"I want to see how these negotiations turn out. Today it failed, but maybe that young man has some cards up his sleeve..."
...
While many people continued to argue in that area, King Snow had suddenly had his consciousness taken to a strange place.
'What? What's going on?' He wondered as he looked from one side to the other of the forest he was in.
But he soon saw the figure of Minos and understood that this was young Stuart's technique.
'Unbelievable!'
'I didn't even feel his attack, but I'm already under his dominance!'
Gulp!
"What do you want?" He asked in doubt.
Minos then said without delay, nor stalling. "Give the order for your troops to act. I will do the same with mine."
Adam's eyes widened in shock, and he asked. "What about the two-day deadline you just gave these people? Don't you intend to abide by it?"
"Oh?"
"Of course not. There is no deadline for them to give up. The moment I made my offer and they didn't accept, that was already the end of the line for them."
"Now, they can only bear the weight of their own decisions!"
Minos had already given his enemies plenty of chances. But after his recent trip, he no longer intended to forgive any enemy left on the Black Plain.
pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴoᴠᴇʟ He had made his final offer in that camp set up by the Church. But upon being refused, he simply decided to go ahead with his bloody plans for his enemies.
As for the two-day deadline, that was only for his enemies to waste time thinking of strategies against him while his army exterminated the enemies on the Black Plain!
"Let's give our enemies a nice surprise." Minos laughed before disappearing, and King Snow's consciousness returned to his body.
'Shit!' Adam felt a shiver run down his back before he got up from his seat and left that area of negotiations.
He did not want to have to do something so evil. Yet, since he was already in the same boat as Minos, he could only get his hands dirty and lessen the risk to his family!
So, even though he did not like it, he quickly headed toward one of his family's crows to send the message authorizing the surprise attack against the counter-revolutionary forces.
...
After Adam left, it was not long before every royal family, or large organization that had attended this negotiation left the area.
Today nothing good had been built, and in this failure, they could only turn their attention to how to counter-attack Minos, how to threaten him in order to at least achieve something in this place.
Several of them did not want a peace agreement. On the contrary, such people wanted victory in the war. And with this in mind, they could only refuse Minos' intentions and continue their plans against the Black Plain!
