'Once we divide them into two… Is it now tihts as she walked into the discussion rooyoung and Dongha were organizing their thoughts in the lobby area and restroo the formal conference room

'I don't really understand this place”

'I've never seen such a strange bathroom… Hoas it made like that?'

'By the way, this has becootiations already…'

The original purpose of their visit was thrown out theIn its place, they were starting discussions on high-level negotiations They felt dizzy and uncertain about their positions after this ind proceeding

The agenda to be negotiated had already been drafted and proposed

In short, they didn't have much time, and important items needed to be resolved first Of course, the two fro Clan weren't properly prepared That said, they couldn't complain They couldn't reveal that they weren't ready Further Clan, aiting for their turn right next door… Anyhat they could only rely and depend on noas their usual mental ability and quickness They'd have to at least beat out the Ki-Jang Clan

Dongyoung and Dongha caotiations

First, it was necessary to find out the background and reason for why the Han-Sung Clan and Dark Guilds were cooperating The unexpected cooperation of these tersClan's northern strategy, and it was not knohat effect this new partnershi+p would have on the fragile power game that existed currently in the north

Second, they needed to find out how Count Essen was able to do business on equal ter Clan and Dark Guilds They round of the man and woman orked behind the scenes to create this unusual partnershi+p In particular, they were tasked to understand the two's ths and weaknesses If they were to pose a threat to the clan, they would have to be forcibly removed

Third, they should review projects and proposals where the Dong-Myung Clan may possibly participate, and make sure to participate If necessary, they were to pro Clan office in the territory In the future, the clan needed to prepare for the possibility of Count Essen's estate beco Clan

They also recalled elder Dongye's request He had spoken to theht before they left He was the only clansman who had met San and Biyeon before

Dongyoung and Dongha understood the difficulties of this assignment They weren't the first convoy sent by the clan However, all the previous convoys brought back insufficient or unsatisfactory information and results

It was also burdenso Clan was not the only clan to have sent diplonment It was no coincidence that theyClan and the Imperial Family on the road here It was roups who lived off of infor to this place

As such, theClan, who dominated the i attention Dongyoung cracked his fingers

'We will need to negotiate hard to get a seat with this developing area and its people We can't allow the Han-Sung Clan to run aith all the benefits'

Two people, San and Biyeon, entered the conference rooan and continued at a breakneck pace The ly fast and swift Their way of speaking was soha had never contended with before The entiresituations The questions cauous attitude brought outclans red

Dongyoung and Dongha had their mouths wide open

Biyeon immediately followed

“For reference, there was no other clan than the Han-Sung Clan that accepted these conditions”

“I think I need tiive us an answer?”

“I have to ask the clan…”

“Don't you have the right to decide?”

“Yes, I do, but…”

“What was the reason for the Han-Sung Clan to advance into this place?” Dongha asked, staring at Biyeon's eyes Dongha's tehtforward
