However, this negotiation was anything but smooth.

It even seemed like the other side had no intention of engaging in much discussion.

The terms were laid out plainly and simply.

This rendered all the various negotiation tactics that Tang Nasen had learned and mastered ineffective here.

He also realized that the concepts adhered to by the Wolf Pack and humans indeed differed; they emerged through blood and gore.

The Wolf Pack wasn't accustomed to beating around the bush; they preferred a direct approach.

Even this human, representing the Wolf Pack in the negotiations, was the same.

Having joined the Wolf Pack for over two years, Vincent had indeed acquired the distinctive habits of the pack under their influence.

Representing the Wolf Pack, he afforded Tang Nasen no significant opportunities, focusing solely on discussing interests and terms.

If you don't agree, then there's no need for negotiations!

The Wolf Pack hadn't begged anyone to come to the negotiating table after all!

They could continue, just as they had before, to roam freely and wield power, securing vast territories through the growing combat prowess of the Wolf Pack.

Under Vincent's straightforward negotiation approach, the talks reached a deadlock within just a few hours.

In the end, Tang Nasen could only call off the negotiations with an awkward smile, since he needed to seek instructions from the Capital City.

However, as he sought guidance, he instructed his follower to investigate all of Vincent's background, hoping to find a breakthrough from him.

Vincent used to be just an ordinary member of the New Humans, so naturally, his background was quite clear.

The mech armor was fitted with various high-end instruments, the most advanced facial recognition technology, and the most sophisticated life wave signal detection, which swiftly uncovered all of Vincent's background details.

"Hmm? Vincent, thirty-one years old, formerly a Grade C member of the Nineteenth Division's New Human Squadron? Participated in operations against the Variant Species Leopard, the Obi River Brown Bears, and other battles, with his last mission over two years ago in the Arctic exploration!"

Having left the negotiation venue, it wasn't long before Tang Nasen received the most detailed information on Vincent.

Having generally understood Vincent's identity and seen that Vincent had quite a few family members still in human society, a sharp gleam flashed through his murky, cunning eyes.

Having family naturally meant having vulnerabilities.

Family was the best breakthrough point for Vincent.

Every negotiation involving immense interests has always been a battle of wits and bravery, let alone one that determines the survival of Great Russia!

In such negotiations, no method is considered excessive.

In such an intense and thrilling negotiation, time flew by swiftly, and days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these few days, Tang Nasen pulled out all the stops.

Using Vincent as a leverage point, he promised him enormous benefits, even assuring frantic promises regarding the various interests of his family members.

But Vincent was not the least bit moved.

Typically, Tang Nasen's strategy was to resort to threats if enticements failed!

However, because of the messages from the Capital City and the pressure from the Apocalyptic Level Wolf King and the Wolf Pack behind Vincent, Tang Nasen didn't dare to employ intimidating tactics!

He was aware that human society was already in disarray,

and the situation in Great Russia was teetering on the brink. Using threats, if they truly angered the Wolf Pack, would lead to an uncontrollable situation.

Thus, the wily and experienced Tang Nasen did not play with fire.

Aside from trying to find a breakthrough with Vincent, Tang Nasen also put himself in danger by covertly heading deep into the Arctic in an attempt to find an audience with the Wolf King.

However, Tang Nasen did not succeed in finding Su Lin; right as he was about to step into the core territory of the Wolf Pack, he was driven out by Arctic Yan-Ou and the Flying Bird Tribe.

In desperation, Tang Nasen had no choice but to engage in another round of negotiations with Vincent.

Finally, after several days, the negotiations finally concluded.

After seeking instructions from the Capital City, Tang Nasen had agreed to all the terms in the contract!

The first stipulation surrendered an area extending eight hundred miles south from the Arctic Borderline, which would become the Wolf Pack Territory, though it was to be publicly declared a coexistence zone for the Wolf Pack and humans.

The second stipulation was to provide the Wolf Pack with a hundred first-class mech armors, a hundred seventh-generation warplanes, and a million tons of food as peaceful resources in exchange for the Wolf Pack not engaging in bloody slaughter against humans.

The third stipulation was for the Wolf Pack to eliminate the Mutated Creatures within their territory, with each creature cleared requiring compensation in the form of food and potions for the Wolf Pack.

The fourth was reaching a temporary alliance with the Wolf Pack, during which neither side could wage war against the other, and so on.

These four were the important terms, aside from which there were various other minor ones!

These terms outlined the interests and losses for both sides.

To be honest, these terms made Tang Nasen feel somewhat humiliated.

Yet, he was also acutely aware that in such troubled times, this was perhaps the best agreement he could hope for!

After all, the terms allied them with an Apocalyptic Level Exotic Beast and its subordinates!

This meant Great Russia had secured a level of safety unattainable to other forces!

Having signed the contract, Tang Nasen could no longer afford to linger in the Arctic and hastened back to Great Russia.

Because the current situation in the human world was too chaotic, he needed to return to deal with various affairs; he couldn't afford to waste time here.

Tang Nasen, gazing upon the frozen Arctic, looking at the Wolf Pack's assorted species that still scatteredly flew in the sky and ran upon the land monitoring him as he departed,

knew that this Wolf Pack might have reached a temporary alliance with humans,
