Chapter 935 Reason
It's like being in an ivory tower classroom.
Under the afternoon sun, the old man on the sofa smoked a cigar and taught his students the wisdom of life, the essence of human nature, and etiquette.
How to visit your enemy with dignity and seriousness.
There is no need for complicated afternoon tea rules, no need for cumbersome conversation skills, and no need to haggle endlessly and compare every penny.
But how to get back what you deserve in a proper way——
First of all, you must speak your mind openly and honestly, express your intention without hiding it, and let the other party know why you are here. Then, you have to show your strength and capital to win your respect.
Power and capital?
Huai Shi started to laugh.
He has a lot of titles that are endless, but he doesn't know which one is appropriate at this time.
Prince of Paradise? A washed-up idol? who cares?
A member of the Astronomical Society? It may be a talisman for evil heretics, but in the current situation, facing the six alliances representing Las Vegas, they will only tie themselves up.
The King of Tamba? Compared with the dazzling City of Desire, Damba is just an inconspicuous little place.
In addition, he is also the classical music teacher in the Ivory Tower, Russell's secretary, the Abyss Kitchen Demon, the Disaster Musician, the Anointed One... and even a third-level ascendant who is not worth mentioning, but those titles should not be Show up here.
He's not here for that.
So what exactly should be said?
He couldn't help shaking his head at himself and laughing softly.
Only now did he realize that perhaps this troublesome job had been doomed the moment he was tricked into getting into the car by Russell from Dambo.
Therefore, there will be no second answer.
For them, there can only ever be one with the greatest power and capital in the world.
At that moment, he calmly raised his eyes, looked forward, stared at the old opponent at the end across the bright and luxurious golden table, and told him calmly.
"My name is Huai Shi."
Huaishi said, "——I come on behalf of the lineage of the Kingdom of Heaven."
So, in the dead silence, Russell stared happily at those astonished faces, and couldn't help but raise his hands, applauding softly, full of joy.
Simply the perfect opening statement!
You are indeed the best student, Huai Shi. It only takes a few simple tips to understand the essence of the problem, and as long as the responsibility is given to you, you will never let people down.
You have penetrated the essence.
At this moment, is it an old man and a child who are coming here? Is it an ivory tower? Or Tamba? No, neither.
They have only one purpose here, and they will only run on behalf of the same mission and desire.
Only in this way will they come here and come to these mortal beings who are intoxicated with vanity.
Tell the world where the truth lies!
In this way, after a lapse of seventy years, the existence of the Kingdom of Heaven lineage reappeared in such a formal way and came before the negotiators.
It was said calmly by a young man.
It's as if that glorious era has never left, but has always existed, and has always remained in the world. These seventy years of silence are just a short break.
But now, those sleeping giants seem to have awakened with Huai Shi's words.
Standing in the darkness behind the long table, Huai Shi looked ahead.
Waiting indifferently for the other party's response.
But the response won't be helpful.
The trial will never be postponed.
"...Really, the future life is terrifying."
In that excruciating silence, there was only the murky breathing of Douglas under the oxygen mask, so low, mixed with the murmur surging in his lungs.
The old man sighed hoarsely, not because his plan encountered setbacks, but because of himself.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized how completely wrong he was.
He originally thought that his biggest enemy was Russell. In order to make Russell retreat, he tried his best to find so many measures and countermeasures.
There were two favors owed by Russell, four promises he had made to people, support from the Ivy League, and five plans proposed by Las Vegas.
There's always one that will shake him, there's always one that will reduce the damage to what Las Vegas can afford.
But I didn't expect that all the preparations and measures were in vain.
Because Russell pushed a young man to the front of the stage in an understatement.
He even taught him how to hold on to this power in front of him, step by step!
Now, the nominal power that is enough to cause turmoil in the situation is held by Huai Shi, and a more difficult opponent than Russell has become his enemy.
The moment he announced his identity to himself, Douglas even wondered, was he really just a young man younger than his own son?
Or is it something even more terrifying?
Is it Russell's deception, or something else?
He didn't know that it was because of this that he became increasingly uneasy and angry.
Because from beginning to end, Russell on the other side of the long table never looked at him once, and his enemies did not take him seriously at all!
Just like it was seventy years ago...
Even if he holds a gun in his hand, walks down the street, wears the most luxurious leather shoes and the most high-profile clothes, and drives a luxury car, no one will care because he is just a nobody.
"I have already repaid you, Mr. Russell. I have paid a huge price for this negotiation. I have even shown you so much sincerity. Why do you want to humiliate me again?"
He raised his cloudy eyes and asked hoarsely: "Do you think that as long as I show off the name of the pedigree of the Kingdom of Heaven, I should raise my hands high and offer Las Vegas to you?"
Russell smiled, just held his chin and said nothing.
It's as if I haven't heard of it.
But Huai Shi, as if she didn't care about the consequences, was eager to give it a try: "Next, I guess I should tell them the consequences of rejection?"
"Aren't you going to try to make a promise?"
Russell thought for a moment and shrugged: "Forget it. Although I skipped a part, it doesn't matter. Negotiation is flexible. You should try it."
"Are you so relieved?" Huai Shi asked.
"Yes." Russell smiled: "I am so relieved about you."
Huai Shi thought for a moment and asked, "Is that the decision?"
"Ok, deal."
Russell nodded, not caring.
They put everything on the gambling table in an understatement, and they understood each other tacitly.
But everyone just felt ridiculous.
Incomprehensible.
There must be something wrong with this old guy's brain - how could a normal person have such a negotiation method? If they don't agree with each other, then they just mess around?
As for the consequences they say?
Do you still need to explain it in pale words?
One is one of the few fifth-level ascendants in the world, the ruler of the Tower of Ivory. After the fall of the Kingdom of Heaven, he clings to the last piece of his foundation and even begins to seek revival. The other is the ultimate idealistic psychopath who has suffered numerous blood debts since his debut. Behind his outstanding achievements are mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the Sword of Disaster used to kill great masters during festivals, the pet peeve of the Astronomical Society, and a special military attache who is known as the most powerful tool man in history!
One dares to think, the other dares to do.
If one dares to teach, the other will dare to learn.
As soon as Jinfeng Yulu meets, they win countless battles in the world. Is there anything these two lunatics wouldn't dare to do when they get together?
An old man and a kid under twenty years old came here empty-handed, and then opened their lion's mouth to the masters here.
Swallow everything and leave nothing behind.
Don’t compromise on anything either!
This is not a negotiation at all, but a naked declaration of war!
If they cannot achieve their goals, they will use all means, and even... a full-scale war between the two sides!
"Don't you people in the Utopia have any sense at all?"
At the other end of the long table, Douglas gasped hoarsely, his eyes widened angrily, and his sharp voice was so high-pitched: "We have made our best efforts and sacrifices for peace!
But do you really think we are weak and can be bullied? "
"Vegas isn't afraid of war, you two."
He retorted hoarsely: "We will never sit still and wait for death - this city is our hard work, and we will never take another half step back.
You can just give it a try. If you want to make it a fight, then fight it to the death! Even if the last drop of blood is shed and the last penny of savings is spent, we will never bow our heads! "
"Why are you so pitiful, old gentleman?"
Huai Shi smiled without even bothering to raise his eyelids: "It's as if we have consulted your opinion from the beginning, as if you were not talking to yourself from the beginning."
"The reason you lower your head today is not to repay the mistakes of the past, but to preserve everything you have now."
He said, "I've seen a lot of people like you."
"In Dongxia, we call such people Laolai - they rely on their own connections and connections to occupy things that do not belong to them, despise the law, despise other people's efforts and dignity, and think they have control of the world. The rules above, however, are not.
If one day the hammer falls, they will become extremely humble and pitiful, have sincerity and bonds, and begin to long for peace again.
As if all this is not what they should bear——"
So, looking at his livid face, Huai Shi told him coldly: "The reason why you admit your mistake is just to avoid losses.
He said he was sincere, but in reality he only thought about himself.
You took us to a military base in the Americas and gave us some prepared leftovers so that we uninvited guests could leave quickly, and you thought you were showing your sincerity.
However, from the beginning to now, I have not even heard a word "I'm sorry" from you. "
"However, now that things have happened, you actually say that we are unreasonable?"
Huai Shi shook his head and laughed: "For so many years, the truth has been there, but no one has told it. Now, after we bring it here, does it suddenly become precious?"
"If you want reason, Mr. Douglas, I'll give you reason."
Huai Shi told him coldly: "It will be accompanied by a war."
