'Balance'
Riz never thought he would be so irritated by such a commonly used word.
Had it not been for the fact that multiple parties were involved in this continental balance, he would have scoffed and ignored it.
Riz inhaled deeply, suppressing his irritation, "I'm sorry once again, there's nothing we can do. No sane ruler would willingly ruin their own country's economy just to please another. We suggest you improve your port management and services."
"Well, that's a shame. It seems like we can't reach a mutual understanding."
As Riz initially thought, this guy is a pain in the ass. What the hell with going to another sovereign country and telling them what to do?
Riz remained polite. "It's okay. Negotiation is like this. It can't be completed in just a day. Perhaps we can cooperate in another way."
"Oh?! And how do you propose we cooperate?"
"We simply divided the continent into our respective spheres of influence."
