Seeing Brandon pointing this way, several noble ladies looked panicked.
The expressions of the protectors beside him also changed dramatically, and they quickly stood in front of him.
"Those should be Jimenez, Brady, Barrett, Asimu, and the distinguished ladies of the Cervantes family?" Brandon looked at them, "There are so many protectors wearing family emblems around you.
, I can see it quite clearly! With your weight, it is enough for the five major families to come forward, and it is enough to become a bargaining chip for our clan! Someone, bring these eldest ladies out and imprison them separately!"
Immediately, soldiers from the Sea Clan broke into the water prison and approached several noble ladies with a fierce look.
The accompanying protectors hurriedly stopped them, but their magic and combat skills were imprisoned in the water prison. They were no different from ordinary people and were no match for the Marine soldiers. Although they tried their best to stop them, they still watched the five ladies being taken out of the water prison.
"Since you have such important hostages and have negotiated enough, just let us go!" An adventurer shouted anxiously, "We are insignificant little people, and those nobles don't care at all!"
"Yes! Let us go!" Some adventurers and townspeople shouted loudly.
Brandon snorted coldly: "Shut up! You are all my hostages. No one can leave before other people are released! As for these distinguished ladies, I hope you will write a letter with your own hands and let me
sent to Storm City. The attitude of your five major families will determine your fate!"
"The Jimenez family will not be coerced by outsiders!" Although Charlotte was scared, she still replied firmly, "You will not get the results you want by doing this! The same goes for their family. For the benefit of the family, we are all
It can be discarded!”
"Then you can't blame me!" Brandon raised his eyebrows, "If we don't get the result we want, you guys, including everyone present, will be buried with my people!"
After saying these words, not to mention the five noble ladies, all the hostages were frightened.
This feeling of life being in the hands of others is terrifying!
Kristen, Carla, Irene, and Monica leaned closely next to Charlotte, trembling slightly.
They are not afraid of death, they are just afraid of any torture they may suffer before death. If the family really gives up on them, how will the Sea Clan soldiers treat them?
"Take them away!" Brandon ordered, and the soldiers escorted the five noble ladies and prepared to leave the water prison.
The protectors of the five major families shouted anxiously and tried to rush out, but were blocked inside and unable to break through the water prison.
The five noble ladies didn't know where they were being taken, and they didn't know what kind of treatment they would face. They were even more frightened and at a loss.
At this moment, chaos suddenly occurred and a carriage came speeding towards it, causing the Hai Clan soldiers to dodge left and right to avoid hitting it.
The carriage came to the square and blocked the way.
The cart was pulled by a Velociraptor, and of course it was Renn who was on the cart.
"Who?!" Brandon shouted loudly and ordered the soldiers to surround the carriage.
"Ren!!" Kara exclaimed, feeling like she had been rescued the moment she saw him. Then she realized that even if he appeared here, he seemed to be no match for the Sea Tribe. With her clumsiness, she could have imagined that Renn could not be saved.
Let's go everyone.
Charlotte, Christine, Linda, and Monica were just as surprised by Ren's appearance as Carla, but they all felt it was useless and did not raise any hope.
Seeing Ren's carriage surrounded by Hai Clan soldiers, he could only sigh.
All the hostages in the water prison had no hope. They just felt that one more hostage would not change anything.
"Get him!" Brandon ordered loudly, asking the soldiers to step forward and capture Ren, who suddenly rushed out.
Seeing the Sea Tribe soldiers surrounding him, Ren shouted to Brandon: "Wait a minute! I heard your conversation just now! You Sea Tribe wants your people to go back, and your current approach will only be counterproductive! These ladies are indeed
They are very important hostages, but can the most powerful families in Storm City be coerced? For them, face is particularly important! If you want to save people, you must allow the five major families to feel the pressure and at the same time give the other party the ability to follow their lead.
Walk down the steps to avoid escalation of conflicts!"
"It sounds reasonable. We just want to save our people and have no intention of becoming enemies of humans!"
Ren immediately said: "We humans don't want to go to war with the Sea Tribe. We all want to coexist peacefully. Since something like this happened, we have to find the crux and solve it! I can send a message for you and convey the Sea Tribe's request to Storm City.
Try to get both parties to reach an agreement. But you need to release goodwill first to prevent the spiral of hatred between both parties from continuing to rise!"
Brandon thought for a long time and asked in a deep voice: "How can I release goodwill? How can I believe that you can convince Storm City to rescue my people?"
"It's actually very simple," Ren pointed to the five noble ladies, "You can let these noble ladies go and let me escort them back to Storm City. For their family, this is the greatest goodwill! Anyway, there are still
There are so many hostages, including elite members from the five major families. As for whether you can trust me or not, it depends on your own judgment!"
After listening to Ren's words, the five noble ladies were very moved.
He actually tried to rescue everyone! Even Charlotte, who rarely showed expressions, became more fond of him and felt grateful.
Brandon shook his head decisively: "No! They are my most important hostages. Once they are released, who knows whether the nobles of Storm City will care about those insignificant people?"
"Then the next best thing is to do the next best thing!" Renn continued, "You let one of them go with me, at least release some goodwill, otherwise it will be difficult to talk to their family. Also, those who stay here must be taken care of properly, and you can't
Let them suffer a little injustice. This is related to whether your people can return safely!"
Brandon thought for a moment, nodded to him and said: "Okay! If you can ensure the safe return of our people, this request is not too much! You can take this eldest lady of the Jimenez family away. Before reaching negotiations, I
We will temporarily place these people under house arrest in a hotel, giving them the most comfortable environment, and will not let anyone hurt them! The negotiation has finally been reached, and they can leave safely. If the negotiation breaks down, you can’t blame me for being cruel!"
“It’s a deal!”
“It’s a deal!”
Renn turned to the five noble ladies: "Do you agree?"
The five noble ladies thought to themselves, can we still choose to disagree at this time?
Charlotte felt that Renn could convince the Sea Tribe general to release her and let him intervene in this matter, which was very powerful. As long as she returned to Storm City safely, it would not be difficult to convince her family to investigate and deal with this matter, and she would definitely be able to save her good sisters.
, and other captured people, nodded immediately: "I will let the family investigate this matter and give the Hai Clan a satisfactory answer!"
"Very good!" Brandon nodded with satisfaction, "You can leave Glory Town with him. Someone, send these distinguished ladies to the hotel and take good care of them. Except not to leave, meet any of their requirements!"
The Sea Soldiers asked the four noble ladies to leave, but they still looked back at Ren and Charlotte worriedly.
"Dear ladies, please believe me!" Renn saluted them respectfully, "I will definitely facilitate negotiations and allow you to return to Storm City safely!"
Hearing his reassurance, Christine, Carla, Linda and Monica felt a little relieved.
