"You're telling me those idiots refused us again?" Senior Ceeran frowned. "Why can't they be objective and rational about this? No matter how you spin it, it's a great deal! They're lucky we in the Martial Union have decided not to pursue a forceful approach!"

He turned towards Rui. "So, what are you planning on doing?"
