Chapter 207: Hearing the nAmiri, Marissa and Connor simultaneously turned their heads toward the cabin door. Elvis, too, pivoted and peered in that direction. It was unexpected that Amiri, who had brazenly put a bounty on Connor's head after failing to appease him with a peace offering, would dare to confront him directly. Was he audacious enough to cause trouble on the Sunrise? With a covert wink, Elvis signaled his assistant, who discreetly exited the scene. Though this gesture went largely unnoticed, those familiar with Elvis's methods understood its implications. His assistant was likely rallying their forces, prepared to deal with any disturbances on board Connor maintained a stoic facade, seemingly unbothered by Amiri's presence. Marissa, appearing calm, was actually gripping a ring-shaped blade in each hand, ready to act should Amiri harm Connor. Marc and Terry, on the other hand, were visibly on edge, their bodies tensed and ready for a confrontation. But to everyone's surprise, it wasn't Amiri who appeared but his assistant, an unexpectedly elegant man in glasses, contrasting sharply with Amiri's notorious reputation Approaching Connor with a smile, the assistant spoke in a deferential tone. "Mr. Daniels, Mr. Amiri has learned of your presence on the Sunrise and considers it a fortunate coincidence. He requests a moment of your tto discuss and possibly resolve any misunderstandings, hoping to transform enmity into amity." Stay tuned at galHe quickly added, worried about Connor's response, "Mr. Amiri is genuinely sincere in his intentions!" "Hah!" Connor scoffed. With a swift kick, he knocked the man to the floor. “Amiri put up $2 billion to havekilled. How dare he expectto sit down and talk with him?" The assistant picked himself up, wiping the blood from his mouth, and resumed his humble stance. "Mr. Daniels, Mr. Amiri does not wish for conflict. If you agree to negotiate, he will withdraw the bounty immediately. However, if you choose to pursue him, he cannot prevent Black Snake from completing their task. As you know, once Black Snake has accepted a task, they will see it through at any cost. Even if Mr. Amiri were to die, the task would remain. This is the rule." What he meant was everything hinged on the outcof this negotiation. If Connor was open to reconciliation, Amiri would retract the bounty immediately. However, if Connor refused, he would have to confront Black Snake. Despite the assistant's humble demeanor, his message carried an unmistakable threat Connor's eyes narrowed dangerously. Elvis was concerned that the two VIPs might clash on the Sunrise, so he intervened swiftly. "Mr. Daniels, it's always better to gain a friend than to make another enemy. Since Mr. Amiri is open to resolving things, perhaps you could sit down together for a peaceful discussion. The Sunrise is ready to offer you both a private setting where you won't be disturbed. As for any issues, you can choose another tand place to resolve them. Please, out of respect for Mr. Alvarado and the Sunrise, let's keep things civil. I will make sure Mr. Alvarado hears of your cooperation."
Elvis's tone was earnest, yet his words carried a subtle warning. He implied that regardless of their öm negotiation's outcome, they must avoid any altercation on board. Connor understood the implications too well. "Since Captain Williamson has made his position clear, it would be rude not to comply. Please set up a place for us to talk."
