Evi paused for a minute as he thought about Blood Stepper's offer. In such a dangerous scenario, it was better to be cautious and not take the first offer.
"These robbers have a strong relationship with each other. This is especially the case for the robber holding Yoze hostage."
"So it is reasonable for him to want his brother to escape before letting go of Yoze. But there is a big risk I have to take if I allow this robber to go."
"Let's see what my skills in diplomacy and words can get me." Evi's eyes flashed as he turned towards Blood Stepper.
"Your offer is too dangerous for me and Yoze. How can we guarantee that once I let your brother go, he won't get reinforcements while you continue to hold Yoze hostage?"
"You are also taking a huge risk by holding Yoze hostage. Who is to say how much longer you'll be able to hold him captive?"
