章 1161: Negotiation Tactic

Under the light of several false suns, Zhen Liu was sitting across the way from a trio of soldiers whose uniform beared an insignia that resembled a rooster crowing against a rising sun. Written on the perimeter of the rising sun was the name, "Cortez", written in Scorch Talk.

If Zhen Liu had to take a guess about such garish symbology, Cortez was probably the name of the local powerhouse here in Papaya Town. He did remember Lythero mentioning something about there being a local hegemon.

'Alright, let's turn on the charm and see if I can get these guys to tell me something good,' Zhen Liu told himself while staring directly at the trio of soldiers. Evidently, they were still a little freaked out about the whole situation and couldn't help but to keep a weary eye leveled in Zhen Liu's direction.

Which wasn't the wrong action to take, but still a little hurtful.

Not really.
