"... 'What was the result of the negotiation?'"
Ji Xin paused when he heard Shanli's words, then looked up and asked.
"Do I even need to say?"
Shanli slowly exhaled: "Those parties could be described as defeated. The influence on the Roman Catholic Church was even greater than expected, and North America has completely turned to the Hebrews, whose aim is West Asia, the promised land they yearn for.
However, this brings new problems. The sudden imbalance of one party causes too great an impact. Now the Hebrews lack a counterbalancing force."
"..."
Ji Xin realized something and frowned slightly: "So?"
"There's no 'so'."
Shanli shook his head: "Just informing you about this matter, not demanding anything new."
"Sometimes, being informed is more troublesome than a direct order."
Ji Xin glanced at Shanli: "Because the latter might just have us follow directions, while the former might be... making us think up solutions ourselves."
"... Ah?"
Shanli was momentarily astonished.
