After deep contemplation, Sarborn, the golden dragon, conceded that peace talks were his only avenue for survival. Even if it meant accepting an unequal treaty, he believed the circumstances compelled such a decision as the best course of action.
Bruce observed Sarborn with a discerning eye, noting the dragon's assured demeanor. It seemed Sarborn was convinced of his own role: "You've come to negotiate, not to destroy.

Bruce stepped closer to Sarborn, their faces mere inches apart. Lowering his voice, he challenged the golden dragon's assumptions: "Are you so certain that I would exchange your freedom for Martha's whereabouts?"
