Elder Xu stroked his beard and thought about the impending negotiation. It would be better if those guys from the Green Cloud Pavilion didn't know.
They could use the inevitable confusion to their advantage.
With the Cabinet in retaliation mode, the Green Cloud Pavilion was bound to suffer a huge loss. He would like to see if those bastards dared to mess with them again in the future.
The Cabinet Elders couldn't afford to lose steam now, or the outside world might think they were easy to bully.
"That's right," Elder Li said. "If the Green Cloud Pavilion knows about this, there's a good chance that the negotiations wouldn't proceed."
Even discounting the men who had died, what little of them left alive didn't even qualify as functioning human beings. In all likelihood, they would remain in this useless state for the rest of their lives.
The Green Cloud Pavilion was notorious for its cruelty and lack of mercy.
