Kieran had seen a lot of negotiation techniques.
The haggling over the smallest details in real life, the natives in the dungeon world, the scheming between the players in the big city, all of them had negotiation techniques.
Among all the negotiation techniques, Kieran was most familiar with the imperial envoy's' show of strength '.
To be more precise, he was trying to scare and intimidate them.
As long as the envoy could scare his opponent with a great reputation, everything would go smoothly.
But there was a prerequisite: the reputation must be backed up by facts and evidence, not a lie!
Therefore, what Raulee said should be true.
As for how much?
It would depend on Kieran's judgment.
So, Kieran acted like he didn't care about the envoy at all.
He was even pressuring the envoy step by step, searching for the flaws in the envoy's words.
"Save me?
Save the Burning Family?
This isn't the first time we met, right?
The last time you met me in Shatterstone Town, you acted like a simple and honest guard and didn't reveal your true intentions. Now, you are saying such things. Based on the current situation, from what I can see, there is only one possibility: you need Burning Dawn! "
Kieran then looked at Raulee, the latter nodded with a bitter smile.
"That's right, I need Burning Dawn.
But saving you and the Burning Family is also true. "
Raulee tried his best to speak in the most sincere tone.
"What happened in Dawn City?"
The imperial court of Saint Cyanda can't even protect Dawn City? "
Kieran didn't buy what Raulee said.
Just like what Raulee said before, Burning Dawn and Saint Cyanda Imperial Court didn't have a harmonious relationship.
From a certain aspect, both of them were considered enemies.
It was just that both of them didn't shed all pretenses of cordiality.
Given such a relationship, even an idiot wouldn't believe an imperial envoy from Saint Cyanda Imperial Court claiming that he wanted to borrow Burning Dawn to save the Burning Family.
So, saving the Burning Family was fake, saving the imperial court was the real deal.
Burning Family was just a side mission.
"Em.
"Something happened in Dawn City and we need to rely on external forces to solve the problem. Burning Dawn is the only reinforcement we can think of."
Facing Kieran's question, Raulee's expression was bitter, but in the end, he had to admit that what Kieran said was the truth.
"I see."
Kieran nodded, then changed the topic.
"But … what does this have to do with me?"
"What does the safety of Saint Cyanda's royal family have to do with me?"
"What does the safety of the Burning Family have to do with me?"
"I've traded my family name for what I want. I'm no longer the peasant eldest son of the Burning Clan, I'm just a normal person."
As he spoke, Kieran sneered.
It was as if everything had nothing to do with him.
If there were people familiar with Kieran here, they would definitely realize that Kieran was about to demand an exorbitant price.
Unfortunately, none of the people here were familiar with Kieran.
All they saw was how ruthless Kieran was to his enemies and how cold he was to the people around him. Even for the people he was most familiar with, he would at most smile politely.
When all of that revolved around Kieran's own strength, it immediately formed an extremely bewildering appearance.
In fact, it was exactly what Kieran needed.
In an unfamiliar environment, with unfamiliar people, a kind and passionate person would be welcomed by everyone, including the bad guys.
After Kieran's third working salary was cheated away by someone with a smile, Kieran learned to maintain a certain level of coldness.
It was the same in the big city and dungeon world.
At most, he would add in some necessary actions to act his role.
"Hon. 2567!
You've left your family! I feel sorry for it but you are still a citizen of Saint Cyanda. Before Saint Cyanda can be comforted, you should stand up bravely and shield it from the wind and rain! "
Raulee grunted heavily and said with a serious face.
"Yeah, we need to shield Saint Cyanda from the wind and rain!
Then why don't you go ask that Saint Cyanda VI, why did he transfer the old Burning Marquis and the Grand Duke of Dawn away from this place and let them die in Dawn City in depression!
Then why don't you go ask that Saint Cyanda VII, why did he order the Burning Dawn soldiers to attack Golden City in a suicidal manner again and again, almost killing all those real soldiers who had gone through hundreds of battles!
"Then why don't you go ask the current king, why did he send out some generals to mess up Burning Dawn's atmosphere?"
Did you even ask?! "
Kieran asked loudly and his voice was getting louder and louder. The last sentence was a furious roar without holding back, it shook the roof and walls of the hall.
Raulee's face turned pale and he staggered backward.
Orderfell crawled on the ground and was shivering.
It shocked Aisphany so much that her eyes shone. It was the first time Aisphany heard someone questioning the king, the novel feeling made Aisphany perk up her ears.
Kieran glanced over Raulee and Orderfell, his voice returned to his usual volume and said, "Raulee, in my eyes, you and Orderfell are no different, do you understand?"
"Both of you are using your identity and position to gain benefits for yourselves.
Do you dare swear that you are acting as the envoy this time just for the sake of Saint Cyanda?
"Isn't there any consideration for the rewards that can be obtained if you succeed?"
No answer.
Raulee opened his mouth a few times but he couldn't utter a single word.
What Kieran said was the truth.
The main reason why Raulee risked his life to come to Supreme Road was because of the rewards he could get if he solved the crisis. It wasn't really out of fairness, mercy, or so-called justice.
You're lying to Kieran?
It wasn't that Raulee didn't think of it but when he saw Kieran's gaze on him, the thought vanished without a trace.
Kieran's gaze was cold.
If he lied, the coldness would materialize and decapitate him with a single slash.
Although it was just a possibility, Raulee dared not take the risk.
Under Kieran's cold gaze, Raulee kept taking deep breaths.
It wasn't just because of the killer intents from Kieran, it was also because Raulee needed to adjust his thoughts and think of a way to convince Kieran.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find any effective way to convince Kieran.
Except …
Raulee didn't want to use this method.
He knew if he used it, the relationship between him and Kieran would plunge to the freezing point and there wouldn't be any chance to salvage the situation.
But …
Raulee clenched his teeth in the end after much thought.
He decided to take the risk.
Raulee was an adventurous person to begin with.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the seemingly peaceful Dawn City alone.
"Don't you care about your brother?
"Sir Starbeck is still in Dawn City!"
Once something big happens in Dawn City, as the second son of the Burning Family, Sir Starbeck will surely be affected.
But don't worry, our men will always be protecting Sir Starbeck, you … "
Bang!
Before Raulee could finish, he was kicked in the face by Kieran.
The imperial envoy's teeth were all shattered and he was sent flying away, crashing on the field outside.
"Gregori, interrogate him!"
I want to know everything in his mind! "
When the imperial envoy landed, Kieran's voice came from the command center.
Pain and dizziness filled Raulee's body.
He didn't believe Kieran would make a move on Starbeck.
He knew it would be dangerous but he didn't think it would be this dangerous.
"Starbeck is much more important than we thought!"
Raulee speculated in his heart.
But soon, he couldn't care about that anymore.
