Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 581: The Thoughts of Various Families, Part 2 (Requesting Subscription)

With a wave of his hand, indicating the embarrassed and indignant envoy kneeling below to leave the tent, Little Friedrich walked over to Dieterma's side, whispering seductively: "These people from other realms have repeatedly refused to meet with us, clearly determined to cooperate to the end with those rebels of Sifuer."

Upon hearing this, Dieterma frowned deeply, pacing back and forth in front of the desk, murmuring to himself: "The issue is that so much time has passed since the great battle ended, the Holy City should have received news by now. Why have we still not received feedback from the Holy City after so long? It's abnormal."

"This just shows the Holy City is also troubled by these foreigners!" Little Friedrich leaned forward, continuing to incite: "We used to think of them as small fry, but now seeing their power, it's enough to change the course of the battle. The Holy City would need to weigh how to deal with them too. After a discussion, it's likely they reached a compromise with the foreigners. If it comes to that, then the Samikina and Bailang clans, relying on their previously established good relations, will surely soar high. In the future, the forces outside the Holy City will be kneaded and overshadowed by these two clans! When that happens, what do we emerging nobility have to compete with them?"

Listening to Little Friedrich's alarming words, cold sweat poured down Dieterma's forehead, increasingly regretting taking on this errand. He was originally from a new small clan, holding his place through the hard work of himself and his father to become upper-level demons, accumulating war achievements in the great battle. That's why he was chosen by the Friedrich and other clans for this offending task but would not worry about expanding too much to become uncontrollable afterward.

He understood well the dangers here, but the conditions and prospects drawn by the emerging nobility were too tempting. As the saying goes, wealth comes from danger. His father decided to let him take the risk boldly, but who would have thought in this situation he'd be completely caught in the whirlpool of the fight between two major forces, becoming the target without an escape.

Seeing the hesitance and fear on Dieterma's face, Little Friedrich continued: "Sir, the direct-line nobles from the Holy City who left with us have already departed the camp to join the Samikina clan. If we continue to hesitate, we will have indecisive attitudes among the team, wasting the time the family has fought for us!"

"You mean the Holy City's delayed response is the result of Leman and the others negotiating with the Samikina clan?" Dieterma looked at Little Friedrich, half-believing and half-doubting.

"Exactly! The family is looking for a chance for us to turn things around and buy time!"

Dieterma walked back to his seat and sat down slowly, hesitating: "No! Something still isn't right, there should be some instructions or messages coming out. The situation now is too bizarre!"

"Sir, what are you still hesitating about! When the Holy City decides, will there still be room for us to counterattack? I have no worries because I can rely on family protection, but what about you! Considering your origin and attitude towards the two clans some time ago, will they spare you and your family afterward?"

"Ah!" Little Friedrich's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, thoroughly shattering Dieterma's remaining shred of sanity. Thinking of the Samikina clan's retaliatory actions afterward, Dieterma hurriedly asked in panic: "Then what do you say I should do!"

"Find a way to sabotage their alliance! Disrupt the cooperation between the alien dimension and the Bailang Family." Little Friedrich, whose desire for revenge and vengeance filled his eyes, spoke coldly, word by word.

"How should I do that?" The bewildered Dieterma asked, having lost his backbone.

"My spies have discovered that these foreigners have already left the heavily guarded estate and are currently strolling in the town. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We can pick one or two of them to target and kidnap back."

"No, no!" Dieterma immediately refused as if poured with cold water: "You've watched the contents of the light and shadow sphere on the battlefield, you and I have seen the combat power of Shitang and their high-ranking people from another race. Kidnapping them would only anger them. Can we bear that? Also, before Shitang set off, the Demon God repeatedly instructed not to harm him! Violating orders, don't you want to live! Little Friedrich, if you want revenge, don't drag me down with you!"

Upon hearing this, Little Friedrich rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth, saying deeply: "Who said we should move against that Shitang! We will target his subordinates, the Demon God didn't say we couldn't touch them! Besides, I have discovered that since the battle ended, Shitang has been in a coma, his mentor and subsequent leaders have returned to their world one after another. Now it's the period when these foreigners are most defensively weak. Plus, old man Samikina's injuries from the battle haven't recovered yet, while Bailang's rise to upper-level is not to be feared. With a mid-upper-level like you and four newly-risen upper-levels, can't you manage the situation?"

"This, this...,"

Little Friedrich saw Dieterma being swayed by him again and immediately fanned the flames: "I've investigated, among those who caused the most harm to the Disaster Legion apart from Shitang, are three women and a fat person, one of the women has fought against Sifuer's maid before, so her strength should not be low! The other few have not faced battle directly, likely having special abilities but low solo combat experience. We could target these two to kidnap back and find a way to control them in our hands!"

With that, Little Friedrich repositioned himself and continued in the other's ear enticingly: "When they come to demand someone, we'll flatly deny it, saying they were lost in the town, while we were outside the town, they have no evidence and can't do anything to us. If they resort to force, we're not afraid either! This way, unable to find their comrades, these foreigners will surely vent their anger on the Samikina clan and once a rift forms between them, we'll have the opportunity to intervene. Even if this cannot shake their alliance, we'll still have two hostages, from whom we can ascertain the secret of their fearlessness of the red disaster, and the method of mysterious alchemical equipment forging. This would be a great contribution to our clan at least, ensuring future confrontations with direct-line nobles won't result in complete defeat!"

"Can this work? Won't we be discovered?" Swayed by the idea, Dieterma licked his dry lips, making the last struggle.

"No problem, rest assured, sir. Although Samikina, this rebel, thinks he controls the situation after harming my father, this place has been run by my father and son for many years. There are still many who are loyal to the Friedrich Clan willing to work for me, before evacuating I ordered these men to lurk secretly. It's precisely for today, having them act ensures nothing will go wrong."

Listening to this, Dieterma was finally fully persuaded, weakly waving his hand, saying: "Then we will do as you say, remember to be very careful, don't let the other side find any slip!"

This sentence seemed to use all of Dieterma's strength and determination, as he finished speaking, he shut his eyes and slumped into the chair.
