Chapter 731 Not so obvious

"Do I have to state the obvious by saying that you might be falling for a trap by attacking them?" Liss furrowed her eyebrows.

"I know, I was just exaggerating," Rain shrugged. "I am just going to tell them to go and eat shit after they say their piece."

"We are going just in case," Asche said. "In case things end in a fight, I can put some arrows on them and claim that they started the fight..."

"Sounds fine to me," Rain said.

"Ah... you two can be so cruel." Liss furrowed her eyebrows.

Before long, they left the town and dashed toward the camp since the sun was about to set... to make things easier for the people there, Rain considered making it rain there for a while and make the enemies endure a very uncomfortable, wet and cold night.

"These fools don't even look strong." Rain frowned.

As the contingent from the magic people arrived for the negotiation of the truce, Rain couldn't recognize any of the individuals in the group. Despite this unfamiliarity, Rain possessed an innate sensitivity to auras, allowing him to perceive the distinct energies emitted by each person present.

Amidst this group, one particular individual's aura stood out remarkably—its strength and resonance eclipsed even Josar's aura. What surprised Rain even more was the fact that this person, who exuded such power, appeared to be scarcely older than Rain himself. He was also similar to Josar...

This discovery left Rain in awe and curiosity, pondering the exceptional abilities and potential of this seemingly young individual among the magic people.

The unexpected revelation of encountering someone with such prodigious aura and capabilities at a seemingly young age intrigued and fascinated Rain, prompting him to contemplate the implications and significance of this encounter in the upcoming negotiations.

"Who the hell are you?" Rain asked when he arrived and realized that the leader of the group was pretty similar to Josar.

"We will return in two weeks for an response," Losar said.

"I will return in one month with the answer," Rain said.

In negotiations, Rain was acutely aware that allowing the other side to entirely dictate the terms would undermine his position. Similarly, displaying signs of despair or weakness could lead to concessions that were not in his favor. Therefore, he made a strategic remark, asserting a level of control and confidence in the situation.

His calculated statement was designed to make the other side pause and reconsider their stance. By asserting himself and conveying a sense of assertiveness, Rain aimed to influence the direction of the negotiation and steer it more towards an equitable arrangement rather than a one-sided imposition.

This move served to assert his position without being confrontational, prompting a moment of contemplation from the opposing party.

"... Understood, we will be back in one month," Losar said.

Those guys had balls if anything... they turned around and exposed their backs without any hesitation. Rain, Asche, and Liss waited until they disappeared in the distance and the area got dark before they returned to Teria.

"Wooo... I am surprised," Asche said. "I was expecting that things would end up in a fight, but this was pretty interesting," Asche said.

"Take this." Rain said and then moved his close right hand to Asche.

"Gwa! That hurts!" Rain flicked her forehead when she focused too much on the closed hand.

"Don't pay attention only on the obvious and don't show your intentions clearly all the time," Rain said while frowning. "It seems that you have been relaxing a lot since you have underlings, you were more cautious before."
