Chapter 694: Threat

"Damn, why has it come to this?"

Just as the Alchemist was about to stand up again and turn to leave,

the Captain of the Guards only then realized that he may have been played by the other party without any clue.

So when he viewed the other party's very clear actions regarding the matter, he almost lost his composure in that moment.

The situation should not be like this, according to the tacit understanding and consensus he believed he shared with the other party.

Since he had outwardly agreed to what the other had said, he should have then presented something that he ought to give in return at the negotiation table.

This was supposed to be a cooperation between the two of them, and neither would be expected to act selflessly in the face of the situation; exchange was their choice for mutual benefit.

If it weren't for such a consensus, with a mutual understanding as its premise, he would never have sat down with the Assassin and the other party for negotiations.
