Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 253 The Art of Negotiation

Duan Mingyuan was very sure that Coyote Twelve was not good at getting others to give him face.

The young man was not frightened by the series of bluffing identities introduced by September. He drew his weapons at the same time as Coyote Twelve, a master of duels. His speed was no less than that of Coyote Twelve, a master of duels. A black ruler-like weapon was hung in front of the latter's neck without any compromise. The atmosphere in the lobby became tense in an instant.

At this moment, the talent of the September Demon Fox was fully displayed.

It is mentioned in "Fox Demon Stories" that the trick the evil fox is best at is to provoke fights between people.

The black cane was found by her, and the battle robot was going to catch her, but the fight was all done by this Cowboy Bebop.

In fact, this matter had nothing to do with Coyote Twelve.

September got a cup of iced coffee from somewhere, as well as macarons provided by the Gear Hotel, and during the confrontation between the two, she calmly hid the black cane in her big tail.

After completing this series of actions, she sat down on the chair obediently, like a delicate and pitiful little fox, but her sparkling eyes betrayed what she was thinking.

——Fight, fight!

In her heart, she cheered for the two competing players.

Coyote Twelve also felt that something was not right with the development of the situation, but the moment the young man drew his weapon, he gave up thinking about it.

He has a bad temper.

In this universe, no one can casually point a weapon at his head. Coyote Twelve never likes to speak in official language or use the Chamber of Commerce to pressure others. When encountering a problem, he prefers to blow the opponent's head off on his own.

"I am not interested in the internal affairs of your planet, but if you want to be turned into two pieces and carried out by those mechanical lumps, I will be happy to give you a ride."

"One last warning. Hand over the item along with whoever found it."

"boom--!"

The young man responded with a gunshot.

Although he reacted immediately, he was ultimately unable to dodge the bullet.

The ruler in his hand was blocked by the metal frame built into Coyote XII. When the smoke cleared, the left half of the young man's body had already flown out.

Linglong, the only one among the group who had never seen such a scene, widened her eyes in horror. However, when she looked carefully, what she saw was not the bloody scene she had expected.

Not a drop of blood fell on the ground, only broken limbs and broken metal debris.

Duan Mingyuan, who was watching the game silently, had already seen the reason why the young man was so tough and even dared to offend the security captain of Shanqi Chamber of Commerce - the one who appeared in front of them was not the speaker himself, but a puppet. Its material was similar to that of a combat robot, but it had energy similar to that of the black cane flowing in its body.

He guessed that this was an energy unique to the Mechanical Aliens.

The puppet speaks in a tough manner.

"I warned you long ago."

Coyote Twelve glanced at the parts on the ground, crossed his legs, lit the cigar he carried with him, and exhaled a deep puff of smoke.

Then the smoke he exhaled was blocked by the sign and splashed all over his face.

There was a sign on it that said "No Smoking in Public Places", and September, who was holding the sign, was staring at him seriously.

Coyote Twelve gritted his teeth and put out his cigar, becoming completely dejected.

The feeling of being interrupted when he was pretending to be cool made him feel uncomfortable.

The young man's half body on the ground did not seem to give up. The combat robots outside the hotel received the order and broke into the hotel at the same time.

A dazzling array of hot weapons was aimed at several people.

"It seems like you guys are really using me as a gun this time."

After calming down, Coyote Twelve complained that this matter was gradually evolving into a dispute between the Chamber of Commerce and the Mechanical Star. Whoever was manipulating the puppets and combat robots had the highest level of military deployment authority. "But the Chamber of Commerce's intervention may not be a good thing for you."

Although he couldn't figure out what this secret treasure was used for for the time being, the Chamber of Commerce seemed to be very interested in it.

The pirates and adventurers who are everywhere on the Planet Jiqiao have been tirelessly searching for the whereabouts of the secret treasure. If the Chamber of Commerce knew that the secret treasure was found by the representatives of Blue Star, they would definitely try to recover it. If something goes wrong in any link, it will turn into an armed conflict.

But that's all for later.

Right now, as the head of the security department of the Gear Hotel, his first priority is to clear out the intruders.

"Wait a minute."

Before the full-scale armed conflict broke out, Duan Mingyuan said to the puppet that only had half of its body left, "We can go back to the royal court with you and solve the problem once and for all."

It is not difficult to see from the attitude of the directors from other planets towards them that his current reputation in the universe has fallen to the bottom. Everyone treats him as someone they want to avoid. This is very unfavorable for Blue Star's application to become a permanent director of the summit. If the Chamber of Commerce and Mechanical Star fight over this matter, he will undoubtedly completely confirm those false charges.

Although Heya was very sure that no matter how he tried to avoid it, the blame for the "big devil" would eventually fall on his head, but considering his identity as the God of Trade, Duan Mingyuan suspected that this was most likely an excuse for Heya to sell him the Leviathan egg.

Everyone who knows him knows that Duan Mingyuan has loved peace since he was a child and cannot bear to see others suffer.

He would prefer to resolve the issue through peaceful means if possible.

"you sure?"

Coyote Twelve put down the gun in his hand, his face full of disbelief.

He felt that this was not a good idea. The entire universe knew the true face of the Mechanical Star Royal Court. Those nobles looked down on the common people and any civilization in the universe.

"determine."

As he spoke, he looked at the half puppet and said, "In this case, you can let the combat robots withdraw first, right?" To show his sincerity, Duan Mingyuan also helped to piece together the broken body of the puppet and the parts scattered on the ground.

In addition to defending Blue Star's reputation as a peace-loving planet, he also became interested in the magical mechanisms on the Mechanical Planet and the mysterious power flowing within them.

Just imagine, a mechanism that can turn the entire surface of a planet into a desert, how much powerful energy must be contained in it?
The puppet called a halt to the battle robot, then turned around and took out three pairs of handcuffs, "You are suspected of stealing national treasures. I will arrest you according to the law."

"To be exact, I found it on the road."

"I am the sheriff, and I am the judge of all crimes on this planet!"

The puppet emphasized his tone, as if he had completely forgotten that he was broken into two pieces on the ground just a minute ago.

Duan Mingyuan seemed to have figured out the personalities of the nobles of the Mechanical Star Royal Court - even if they were beaten to pieces, shot in two, and lying on the ground without the ability to move, as long as they were still alive, they would still hold their tongues.

Perhaps this is the pride of the nobility.

He felt that the nobles of the royal court should have a lot in common with Mr. Chen Chou.

"Let's go. You lead the way."

Duan Mingyuan tactfully handed the three pairs of handcuffs back.

The Gear Hotel was crowded with people. With the summit approaching, many cosmic media had arrived one after another. If others saw the three of them being handcuffed and escorted away by local security forces, who knew what explosive news would be reported tomorrow.

The encounter with Mr. Owl made Duan Mingyuan realize that journalists in this universe are mostly of the same character, always trying to come up with some eye-catching news.

"Put on the handcuffs. This is your last warning."

The sheriff said.

He had been this tough before being beaten into two quarters by the Coyotes.

"Let's go."

Duan Mingyuan made eye contact with the young man.

After the two sides stared at each other for five seconds, the sheriff suddenly compromised. He put away the handcuffs and walked out of the hotel without saying a word.

September had expected this result. She followed along humming a little tune, without any awareness of being a criminal.

But even if the sheriff insisted on having her handcuffed, she would not refuse.

Among the graphic resources she studied some time ago, there were many ways to play that required handcuffs and blindfolds.

Interstellar travel is very boring, and they always have to find ways to kill time.

The third prince collected quite a few books of this kind.

The sheriff's change of heart left Coyote Twelve stunned for a long while. In his opinion, this puppet was just a consumable. The nobles of the royal court did not take his warning seriously at all. However, Duan Mingyuan did not say anything, but the sheriff suddenly changed his attitude.

"How did you do it?"

he asked quietly.

"Nothing, I just asked him to save my face."

Duan Mingyuan said calmly.

He is quite confident in his communication skills, and so far, everyone who has negotiated with him has finally given him face.

He usually gives the other party two options.

First, he would use negotiation to appeal to people’s emotions and explain things to them with reason.

But occasionally there would be some particularly cunning, stubborn people who stick to their own views and cannot listen to other people's opinions. For such people, Duan Mingyuan could only open their brains, get into their hearts, and temporarily turn them into reasonable people.

The sheriff is the latter.

Duan Mingyuan felt that perhaps the sheriff should have some respect for these guests who came from afar.

With that, he followed the sheriff.

A vehicle had already been prepared in front of the Gear Hotel. The three of them sat in the back seat. After driving for a distance, the vehicle began to float up, and a blue flame sprayed out from the rear of the vehicle, taking them to the royal city that seemed to be standing above the clouds.

The throne of ingenuity.

Duan Mingyuan has recently read many records about the Mechanical Throne. Hundreds of years ago, the craftsmen of the Mechanical Star had come up with the idea of ​​floating the city into the sky. The nobles of the royal court believed that only by living in the sky could they highlight their supreme status.

"Mr. Mingyuan."

Jiu Yue came close to him and whispered to Duan Mingyuan, "Are we going to return the things to them later?"

"It depends."

They can always find the secrets hidden in the great treasure in the throne. For Duan Mingyuan, this is a good opportunity to broaden his horizons.

Then, he changed the subject, "One more thing, September."

"Ok?"

"'Ear biting' means whispering something, not licking someone's ears."
