An Extra’s POV

Grandmaster Conrad was stunned.

Never before had he been outdone in negotiations of any kind.

When the Dragons struck all those years ago, he was the one who banded the nations together through sheer negotiations by exploiting their overarching common interests.

He always knew what people wanted, and how to give it to them without being at a disadvantage himself.

However, most of this was only possible due to a somewhat even playing field—or him possessing the advantage.

In the case of the Otherworlders, the script was mostly flipped.

They had the control.

'… And it seems they're realizing it now.'

It somehow pissed Conrad off that they had spent so many resources on these Otherworlders, yet they were so quick to abandon him and his people.

So much money, so many resources…

Even their two strongest were assigned to training them, rather than going to the war front and assisting the nation.

Then, there were expenses they were yet to incur that would go into benefiting the Otherworlders and their growth.

After they had done so much, and were willing to do even more, it felt very heartbreaking that most of these individuals would abandon them in a heartbeat.

It just… it wasn't fair.

'But who would have thought the Hero would turn the situation around?'

Conrad was relieved they had Adonis on their side. He was the strongest of the bunch, and as someone with the Hero Class, he was the perfect fit to take down their ultimate enemy.

'We just need to strengthen him enough to defeat the Dragon Emperor…'

Right now, however, Conrad had to give out another olive branch so the Otherworlders had another incentive to trust the United Human Alliance.

"We plan on letting you all explore the town freely today. No guards or entourage. Just all of you having unrestricted fun."

Conrad could hear surprised gasps from his audience, and he smiled softly.
