Chapter 418

Third Person’s POV

Victor immediately sensed something amiss. He stood up and ordered, “Let’s go back, now!

Abbot nudged Stewart, who quickly said, “Commander Victor, don’t leave yet. We can continue negotiations. You want Frostbite Town, right? Let’s discuss it further.

Tad, noticing their unusual behavior, grew suspicious. The negotiations were his to conduct, and he had already declared an end to them. Yet they were trying to hold Victor back. Why?

Having taken command after the Southern Border’s reclamation, Tad knew his subordinates didn’t truly respect him.

If he couldn’t even control the negotiations, his authority would be undermined.

He shouted, “Both of you, get back here!”

He then instructed the translator, “Tell Victor that if they lack sincerity, the negotiations are over. If they wish to continue, it must be on my terms.”

After the translator relayed the message, Victor glanced back at Tad, his impatience evident. Though he didn’t appear confident, Tad couldn’t let his guard down. Victor ordered, “Back to the city!”

Stewart and Abbot chased after him, trying to restrain Victor.

Stewart bowed and said, “Commander Victor, Alpha Tad doesn’t know Eugenius personally and isn’t willing to trade Frostbite Town for him. But we value Eugenius–he fought alongside us. Please wait while we persuade Alpha Tad.”

“If you could persuade him, you would have done so already,” Victor retorted coldly.

“And didn’t Alpha Lance say that without Frostbite Town for the exchange, there’s nothing to discuss?”
