Everyone prefers to eat the cake first before anything else, especially when the cake is as rich and delicious as this.
So, one could only imagine what Miles was feeling at the moment, he was even struggling to hold back the urge to order his men to move against Finn Lewis directly.
But he contained himself, for he believed that Finn’s presence here could not be aimless.
Watching the expressions changing repeatedly on Miles’ face, Finn finally spoke with a smile, “Of course, Clan Leader Miles needn’t worry, I am not that kind of person, nor would I do such a thing.
I always pride myself on winning people over with virtue.”
If it weren’t for the fact that Finn held the absolute upper hand at the moment, Miles would have loved nothing more than to spit in his face.
Win people over with virtue, my ass. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
You dare say audaciously, do you really think that’s winning people over with virtue when you show off your fists first?
...
“Your Highness Finn, please speak directly,” Miles said with resignation, obviously not bothering to engage with Finn on matters of rhetoric.
Arguing over such things was for fools, so he simply let Finn state his purpose plainly.
“It’s quite simple, Clan Leader Miles, I am here for cooperation, and I hope your clan will abandon the alliance with the Rochefort Clan,” Finn repeated his purpose.
“I can’t decide that on my own,” Miles said with a wry smile, cursing inwardly, Damn it, is that your way of winning people over with virtue?
But of course, this retort only happened in the silence of his mind.
“Of course, I understand that, but with what I’ve brought outside, I believe the Elders of your esteemed clan should be rather easy to persuade,” Finn said indifferently.
Just knew it was going to be like this, Miles thought with a bitter smile.
Only it wasn’t that simple.
If Finn hadn’t shown him personally, he wouldn’t have believed.
He could film and show the video, but he guessed that the clan Elders would probably still be skeptical.
“Of course, that is only part of the reason.
Another part, I will explain to Clan Leader Miles.
May I ask if Clan Leader Miles could allow the mainframe of my warship to connect with the devices in this room?” Finn asked with a shrug.
“No problem.” With the situation as it was, Miles didn’t mince words and simply waved his hand, issuing a command to the warship’s main control system to lock down all messages in this area and prevent any leaks.
Soon, Luna Starfield’s voice filled the conference room, and only when it did did Finn speak seriously, “Clan Leader Miles, what I really want to talk to you about concerns the survival of mankind.
I wonder if you have ever heard of the term ‘Dark Messenger’, or ‘Dark Believer’.”
At Finn’s words, Miles’ face changed slightly, and then he looked at Finn saying, “Is it related to that?”
“Yes, since Clan Leader Miles has heard of this, forgive my presumption, but may I ask where you learned about it?”
“It’s from a confidential document within our clan.
Each clan leader reviews this document upon assuming their position, handed down since ancient times.
But Your Highness Finn, surely you’re not saying this thing actually exists?” Miles said, somewhat astonished.
“As much as I would like to tell you it isn’t real, because I wish such a thing didn’t exist, I can only tell you the truth—it does.
As for the evidence, Clan Leader Miles, do not worry, I will provide plenty of proof.
That is also why I want you to ally with us.
Additionally, there’s another thing I wish to know: Do all the royal families of the nine major surnames have such confidential documents?” Finn said, now more interested in this matter.
