Elijah White is Carson Flores's senior brother, and currently a disciple of the Hundred Tribulations Gate. Naturally, Carson's subjective stance aligns with the Hundred Tribulations Gate, but his interests are not entirely the same.
His greatest desire is to rescue Elijah White; everything else is negotiable.
Only when both sides come to an agreement can there be a peaceful exchange of hostages, which is why Carson stepped forward.
If things continue to escalate without resolution, conflict might become inevitable, making it difficult to negotiate later.
Seeing both sides contemplating, Carson continued, "As Ms. Matthews mentioned earlier, she is willing to pay a ransom as Callie Matthews's aunt. I think that's feasible."
"Additionally, both sides suffered casualties in the conflict. Given the ongoing strife between the Dragon Clan and the Human Race, we will not pursue accountability for these losses."
