Alex suddenly suppressed his emotions, as if he was deeply swallowing a great anger in his heart. In that moment, he seemed to make a decision, gradually loosening his tightly clenched fists, showing a hint of effort to seek calmness. He took a deep breath and, with a calm yet unquestionably firm tone, said, "Morgan, don't call me Axel anymore... and also, don't call me Governor." His gaze was fixed on Morgan, a warning emanating from the depths of his heart, "This is my final warning to you."
Morgan seemed to find amusement in this sudden change, carefully observing Alex's transformation. He then nodded, showing a special kind of respect for Alex's request, "Alright, Alex," he deliberately emphasized the name, "but now you should also understand... the extent of my knowledge about the situation, right?" Morgan's tone carried a subtle teasing, as if beneath this calmness, there still lay hidden challenges and calculations.
This exchange is not just about the dispute over names, but also a dialectic about the past and identity. Alex's firm refusal represents his disconnection from the past identity and the redefinition of himself, while Morgan's response reveals his confidence in controlling the negotiation pace. In this brief conversation, subtle changes in power dynamics, mutual understanding, and expectations for future negotiations between the two have occurred without words.
Alex nodded, suppressing his unease and vigilance, and calmly said, "Alright... tell me about your commission. I can listen now." His voice carried a hint of reluctant coercion, showing the complex emotions he held towards the negotiation.
Morgan listened to Alex's response and smiled happily. His smile always seemed so cheerful and relaxed, but it made Alex feel a sense of disgust. In Alex's eyes, Morgan's smile concealed dark and sinister intentions. Despite Morgan's appearance not exceeding fifty years old, the shrewdness and cunning that emanated from within made people have to be vigilant about his true intentions.
Alex's intuition told him that in order to climb to the position of the third largest worm, Morgan must be a person with superb means and strategic acumen. Such a person calculates every step with precision and would never easily reveal their weaknesses. This insight made Alex even more cautious of Morgan, silently warning himself to be careful and not be deceived by the other's appearance and friendly attitude.
In this delicate psychological game, Alex is keenly aware that the negotiation is far more complex than he had imagined. He knows that he must maintain the highest level of vigilance in order to find a clue of truth in this conversation, which is filled with countless traps and schemes.
Morgan pulled a chair closer and sat down next to Alex in a more intimate posture. His gesture seemed to intentionally close the distance, as if he wanted to introduce some personal elements into this tense atmosphere. Then he spoke, "You are so well-informed... you must know the latest big news about the True Worm Sect, right?"
Alex felt Morgan approaching and leaned back slightly in his chair, maintaining a certain distance, then replied, "I remember... the Great Worm Azra passed away three months ago... right?" His tone carried a hint of inquiry and revealed his concern for the internal affairs of the True Worm Sect.
Morgan nodded, a hint of sorrow on his face, as if mentioning this matter still caused him pain. He clasped his hands tightly, murmuring softly, as if mourning a respected leader. In that moment, Morgan showed his emotional side, seemingly unable to fully come to terms with Azra's passing.
This kind of emotional expression instantly made the atmosphere of the whole conversation heavier and more complex. Alex observed Morgan's reaction, and couldn't help but have more thoughts and questions about this high-ranking member of the True Worm Sect. At this critical moment, the death of Azra not only had a huge impact on the internal of the True Worm Sect, but also undoubtedly brought considerable variables to the outside world, including Alex and the forces he belonged to.
Morgan stopped his muttering and said seriously, "Yes... our former Great Worm has passed away, which is a huge loss for the entire True Worm Sect." His voice carried a hint of sadness, as if he truly felt regret and loss for the organization.
Alex is tired of Morgan's roundabout and insincere way of speaking. His patience has been tested by every word from Morgan, and it has finally reached its limit. Impatiently, Alex interrupted Morgan and said directly, "Enough, stop pretending in front of me, just get to the point." His tone was filled with directness and dissatisfaction, showing that he had lost patience with Morgan's indirect way of speaking.
Alex's frankness and decisiveness added a sense of urgency to the tense conversation. His words were like a warning bell, reminding Morgan not to continue with his performance, but to directly address the real issues. In this conversation full of calculation and strategy, Alex showed his firm attitude of not wanting to be led by the nose, and also demonstrated his decisiveness and straightforwardness as a former governor and tough character to Morgan.
Morgan, after hearing Alex's straightforward words, showed a slight smile on his face, seemingly unsurprised by Alex's directness and impatience. He chuckled and said, "Oh... the pain in my heart, others may not understand..." There was a hint of playfulness in Morgan's voice, as if he was trying to ease the recent awkward and tense atmosphere in a lighthearted manner. Then, his tone turned formal, with a hint of apology as he added, "It was my negligence, Mr. Alex. Please allow me to explain my commission to you."
This speech demonstrates Morgan's extremely high adaptability and negotiation skills. He was able to quickly adjust his attitude from Alex's dissatisfaction and attempt to redirect the conversation. Morgan's seemingly casual yet strategic response once again proved his cunning and shrewdness as the third major Bugmaster. For Alex, this change was undoubtedly what he expected, to directly get to the point and discuss the commission proposed by Morgan. Every minute and second was extremely precious to him, especially in the process of uncovering the truth about Akula Star.
