London.

After several days and nights of fierce fighting, AOM finally reached a settlement with the difficult Englishman on most issues. But everyone involved in the negotiations knows that for both sides, the real battle has just begun.

The members of the AOM looked nervous, and it was clear that they were well aware of the importance of today's topic.

"Well, today we should also talk about the most important thing—" Paul said with his usual nonchalant, "the question of the ownership of the Fellowship of the Ring Fragments. ”

"Wait, such a sensitive issue, the representative sent by your Holy Spirit Society is just a branch A-class member?"

An elderly white male with an extremely serious face interrupted Paul.

Dane Crumber, this guy is also an old acquaintance of Paul, when Paul was still at AOM, he was one of Paul's top bosses, belonging to the extreme left, and decades later, this guy has become one of the vice presidents of AOM, and he is powerful.

"You've already questioned this question a few days ago, why are you AOM people so sensitive to status?" Paul sneered.

"What was the level of the issue a few days ago, and what is the level now? The Lord Ring is the only key to the door of the fallen world, and the three doors of the fallen world have come out of the two, according to the records of the Puslin Bible, the last door of the fallen world is likely to correspond to the present world, this is the core goal that we have been fighting for for so many years, don't you think that this level of affairs should be handed over to someone with higher authority to negotiate? Or do you think that your voice in the Holy Spirit Society is so high that it is comparable to that of the vice president?"

"I'm sorry, but we at the Holy Spirit Society have always been skeptical of the Puslin Bible, and only the unrealistic would put their hopes on an illusory collection of stories. As a side note, if you are to follow you, this level of negotiation should be conducted on the Freedom Alliance, not just between the two of us. ”

"You!" Dane furious. Paul's words undoubtedly hit him in the spot. Whether from the perspective of international law or morality, this important issue related to the fate of all rebels should be handed over to the Freedom Alliance to solve, but the problem is that the Freedom Alliance adopts an absolute majority system, and the vast majority of its members are biased to the right, in recent years, with the AOM has leaned to the left sharply, the AOM has lost the support of a considerable part of the alliance members, and although the Holy Spirit Society has also tended to the left in recent years, so far the Holy Spirit Society is still the leader of the right-wing rebel army, but the extreme right like Paul is not as popular as before within the Holy Spirit Society, and it is self-evident who the members of the Freedom Alliance will favor。 Therefore, the Holy Spirit Society has an absolute advantage in the negotiation of this issue, and they only need to send a mass email to the rebels around the world to make AOM lose and lose the embarrassing situation.

Of course, the Holy Spirit Society has its own reasons for not doing this. Just like Paul himself said, the top management of the Holy Spirit Society has always had doubts about the credibility of the Puslin Bible, although the appearance of Gapulos proves the authenticity of the Puslin Bible to a certain extent, but in view of the history of Puslin's own swagger, the Holy Spirit Society still does not dare to rashly believe the posthumous works left by him, and the president of the Holy Spirit Society himself is a staunch supporter of the right-wing Maynard school, and does not believe that the so-called apocalypse of the left-wing Austrian school of scholars cannot be defeated. War within the rebels is inevitable, so the Fellowship of the Ring Fragments are far less valuable to the Order of the Holy Spirit than they are to AOM. In this case, instead of risking a semi-hostile situation with AOM and keeping this thing in its hands, it is better to hold back for the time being and use it as a powerful bargaining chip to pressure AOM to maximize its interests in negotiations on other issues. In fact, Paul did exactly that.

"Paul, don't forget, the most important condition for us to make concessions on the previous issues is that the ownership of the Fellowship of the Ring Fragments is resolved between the two of us, do you want to go back?" Lucas reminded him as he couldn't take it anymore.

"Of course I won't go back, but only if you don't continue to dwell on the issue of my rank. Paul glanced at him faintly.

"Joke, if you can't decide where the Fellowship of the Ring Fragments belongs, aren't we doing useless work?"

"Hmm...... At least you're right, I don't seem to have the final say when it comes to the ownership of the Fellowship of the Ring Shards. ”

"Bastard, are you kidding us?!" Dane snapped up, his face full of rage.

"There's no basic negotiating sense, there's no merit other than incendiary speeches and loud yelling, Director Dane, oh no, Vice Chairman Dane, you're still as stupid as you were 20 years ago. "Paul Reverse Lip Camera.

"What did you say?!" Dane was so dizzy with anger that he was almost about to make a move, but luckily Lucas reacted quickly enough to stop him in time.

At this point, it became clear that the negotiations could not continue any longer, and with the mediation of Lucas, the morning negotiations were temporarily terminated and both sides returned to the break room.

Compared to Dane, who almost fell when he left the conference room in a rage, Paul was extremely calm. He had already received the news in advance that Dane would participate in the negotiations, this old guy was not only short-tempered but also stubborn like a donkey, and he had many conflicts with him when he was still in AOM, and he was known to passers-by in AOM at that time. He had long expected that this old guy would not give himself a good look, and most of today's negotiations would be sideways, since there would be a quarrel between horizontal and vertical, then he didn't need to look at other people's faces.

Paul calmly took out his laptop, intending to deal with the backlog.

But at this moment, outside the window of the lounge, a group of dark shadows passed quickly.

Paul abruptly stopped what he was doing. He closed his laptop with a solemn face and pulled out a glowing stone from his briefcase.

The light of the stone is so weak that you can't even notice the anomaly of the stone without looking closely. But Paul knew very well what this faint light meant.

"Huh...... In this building...... Is there really a guest from the bottom of the sea......"
