Capítulo 820: Discourse Between Familiar And Master

"I see…"

Rey's fingers were stroking his chin as his full mouth was chewing on the last of Ater's delicious meal served on a literal silver platter.

He had just finished listening to Ater's detailed report regarding the control of the Dwarves and Giants in the Southern Continent. The whole process seemed like overkill to Rey, but he couldn't help but see the brilliance in the plan.

'He was able to finish his task quicker than I expected as a result of that too.' 

As Rey swallowed his food, washing down its contents with his drink, he couldn't help but marvel at Ater's genius.

'He used his superior strength to forcefully seize control of the Giants, and then dangled immortality before them to keep them all loyal to him. As for the Dwarves, he waged war to break their spirits by showing the gap between their might, and then offered them resources and help with their current crisis.'

In essence, a more advanced method of the carrot and stick.
