"Senior Feng Nuo, thank you for your reminder! I am well aware of the importance of this operation. I will try my best to complete the trade with the Dark Pufferfish! However, you know that the Dark Pufferfish's demands are unreasonable. I will need some time to think about completing this trade successfully.
"You also said that you're here to protect me. I won't be in any danger while I'm here. Why don't you and the Light Wind Wolves rest here for a few days? I will use the time to come up with a plan. I need to communicate with the Dark Pufferfish privately to try and convince them to compromise."
Fan Lou knew that Feng Nuo was worried about the consequences he would face if the plan failed. Additionally, he wanted to clarify their responsibilities, hoping that Fan Lou would shoulder all of the liabilities.
If Fan Lou had not had Lin Yuan's support and had made it this far on his own, he would definitely have been unwilling to take on any responsibility.
