Qing Yan really persuaded Kopaqi. That major power had let him go, but Ping An and Dukas still had unsettled accounts.
So he sent people to Ping An headquarters to negotiate. This time, he did not even insist on seeing Jierte; seeing Haier would do.
However, Ping An's guards directly refused to let the visitors in—one of their jewelry stores had been robbed again last night! Anyone with half a brain could guess who was likely behind it.
