"The situation has changed."
Otto looked somewhat dejected, even helpless, as he sat down and slowly said, "After missing the best opportunity, it's become harder to bring Edelweiss's people together."
Gao Guang was puzzled, so he asked in confusion, "Why was it possible before, but not now?"
"It's not that it's impossible now, just that it's become more difficult."
Otto gestured and said, "Time, the situation changes over time. The last time, I tried to mediate by having the feuding sides sit down and talk, as the infighting had just started, and as one of the founders of Edelweiss and the leader of an assassin organization, both sides of Edelweiss's internal strife had to give me some face, whether or not they were willing to accept mediation, they at least had to show up, maintain a certain posture."
