Kopache was indeed swayed by Qingyan's words; that major force had spared him, but there were still unresolved matters between Ping'an and Dukasi.
Thus, he sent someone to the Ping'an Headquarters for discussion, and this time, he wasn't even requesting to see Jilt; seeing Hail would suffice.
However, Ping'an's guards outright refused the visitors entry - their own jewelry store had been robbed again last night!
Anyone could guess who might have been responsible with a simple inference.
In the morning, the robbers turned themselves in to the City Guard, signaling a new development.
Ping'an's people vaguely sensed a significant turning point, but this made them even more unwilling to let the matter go.
The envoy from Dukasi, having no other option, reported back to headquarters.
Kopache hesitated for a moment and then sighed heavily, "Forget it, I'll go there myself."
