[KHR;challenge] negotiation tactics
Hibari Kyouya
For 31_days. January 28th. but what can you do when you have to deal with people?
It was not a mere coincidence that very few of the other Vongola departments actually did cooperative work with The Foundation. It was a well-known fact that its leader, Hibari Kyouya, disliked working with others, and this apparently extended to his department, which, in recent memory, had never liased with any other department unless they were absolutely forced to do so.
Most of the work The Foundation did was considered close to top- secret. It also involved a lot of travelling to other places in their investigation of the ring boxes, since there wasn't much information on the boxes themselves in any one location. This was primarily the reason why The Foundation wasn't considered an offensive department for the Vongola, but rather a special concession granted to one of its Guardians from the Tenth. It wasn't certain that Hibari's investigations would yield any more useful information than what was already known about the ring boxes, but Hibari Kyouya was known to be quite resourceful when it came to things that interested him.
He had been marginally annoyed that his search for information gradually led out of Italy and crawled into other organized crime associations, namely the Triads in Hong Kong, a fair number of South American drug cartels and even back to Japan in the form of the yakuza. Sawada had smiled in amusement when he delivered his often sporadic reports on that development, but told him to keep up the good work. Hibari suspected that as long as the Tenth didn't receive complaints from the other organizations that his Cloud Guardian was destroying facilities willy-nilly and somebody is going to have to pay for these damages and it better be you because it's your Cloud Guardian, Sawada was fine with anything he did.
Hibari also suspected that the Tenth may have felt that all this globe-trotting was good for him, in the sense that Hibari would have little to no choice but to practice good business manners in order to get the information he wanted and not ignite an international underworld war. Vongola or not, they still had not managed to carry a signifcant weight in the organized crime world for it to ignore the transgressions that Hibari would otherwise commit on the Italian homeground. He would have to concede to his boss on that point.
But it didn't necessarily mean that Hibari had grown 'soft' in his dealings with other associates. Rather, Hibari had learnt the art of wreaking just a little havoc, mostly to illustrate the potential damage he could inflict if information-trading didn't go as planned. It was an effective strategy; while relatively painless (emphasis on 'relative', of course), it yielded results.
And as a bonus, it instilled respect for the Vongola familgia, in a world where power continually remained to be the most important. If not Sawada, then Reborn would most certainly have approved.
