As Chief Yuan admitted his mistake and directly chose the worst strategy, the atmosphere took a dramatic and dire turn.
The one who reacted the most wasn't even the person involved, but a certain flexible mediator.
Who would have thought that Yuan Shan would be so resolute, like a gambler who miscalculates at the crucial moment, causing Grantham's student to go pale with shock.
It was clear from the previous exchange of words that if the negotiation failed, Ember was almost certain to flee, and the likelihood of capturing him was slim.
In such a case, all the consequences would undoubtedly fall on Gulad, and the ensuing fate was truly hard to be optimistic about.
However, as this person was seized with terror, Yuan Shan didn't even cast a glance his way.
Once she made up her mind, she could barely be bothered to speak, completely ignoring that Ember's rank was much higher than hers, and she took direct action.
