Chapter 497 Acting
Chapter 497 Acting
"Your Excellency, I am the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Crook. You can call me Addison."
When the King-Slaying Society quickly set the tone and decided to kill whoever found the problem, Leon had already arrived at the meeting hall of Administrative District No. 3 under the guidance of the Third Prince.
When he saw Leon coming in, a middle-aged man who was neatly dressed and looked smart and capable, sitting behind the oval conference table facing the door, first nodded to him, then raised his hand and gestured to the empty seat opposite him, inviting him in.
"Please take a seat. Next, we will work together to resolve the issues concerning our airship being hijacked in your country, the burning of the boarding tower that was leased to you, and the loss of important cargo.
In addition, other members of your country's diplomatic corps are not qualified to listen to the lecture. Please follow His Highness Andre's attendants and leave together to wait in the lounge at the corner."
Not only was there no greeting or courtesy, there was not even any intention of communicating. After arranging everything directly and forcefully, the Foreign Minister lowered his head and opened the file book in front of him, and then said in a serious tone:
“Your Excellency, the first thing we want to discuss is the public security issue in your country.
In a critical location around the capital, an organized group of armed rebels could actually appear, even easily crossing your country's guard post and launching an attack on our country's facilities... Please give me and the Kingdom of Korok a reasonable explanation as to why such an absurd situation could occur."
"..."
What explanation? Tell you how I borrowed the uniform and ID from Isa, and then led the rebels to attack the boarding tower and burn the airship?
Seeing the Foreign Minister impatiently launching an "offensive" before he even sat down, the corners of Leon's mouth twitched slightly. He felt as if he had met a freckled prince, and his right hand instinctively itched.
Although I had heard about it before I came here, because of its strong technological level and national strength, as well as its advantageous position in international exchanges, the Kingdom of Korok has always had a strong attitude towards foreign countries, and sometimes even a bit aggressive.
But it had been less than two hours since he got off the airship, and he had already suffered three setbacks in a row, which still made Lyon feel unhappy.
Especially the stern-faced Foreign Minister in front of him. Although he did not say anything bad or provocative, his words and actions always carried a sense of irresistibility.
Although things like face have never been within Leon's consideration, as an envoy of the Robin Kingdom, he now represents the face of the kingdom. It is really a bit embarrassing to be treated so contemptuously.
"Your Excellency?"
After waiting for a while without seeing a response, the Foreign Minister raised his head again and looked at Leon, who neither sat down nor spoke, but just squinted his eyes and stared at him fiercely. His brows could not help but twist into a "川" shape, and then he urged with an unhappy look:
"I will be receiving the ambassador of the Kingdom of Alesund in this conference room later, so please try to cooperate and don't waste my time."
"..."
Hey...Veronica, you really need to work harder.
Listening to the middle-aged man's almost scolding reminder and looking at the undisguised dissatisfaction on his face, Leon couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
The relationship between countries is much more "wild" than the relationship between people, and is more subject to the law of the jungle. Only when the fists are strong enough can the back be straightened.
As for the current kingdom, apart from having a large population, a good energy industry and an industrial base, the other things are really not that great, which leads to the fact that people do not take the kingdom seriously at all, and even he, the prince, has to be treated coldly.
……
"The boarding tower is not my business."
As the serious middle-aged man's brows furrowed more and more, Leon pulled out a chair and sat down. Then he responded calmly according to the pre-prepared words:
"There are two groups of people in our mission. The one responsible for handling this matter is from another group. When they arrive, just tell the other ambassador. I'm here to buy technology."
???
The Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Korok was totally surprised to receive such an answer. He subconsciously lowered his head and looked through the agenda in his hand. Then he raised his head and frowned:
"I haven't received any similar notification, and there is no similar arrangement in the agenda." "Then add it."
Before boarding the airship, Lyon did not want to cause any trouble that would lead to the kingdom being sanctioned by the Kingdom of Korok, so he would most likely just pretend to be friendly with him.
But after encountering a ridiculous hijacking, and after hearing about the experiences of the robber brother and sister, and learning about the situations in several large floating crystal mines, he had already made up his mind to give them a good beating, so there was naturally no need for him to endure the humiliation.
"Bring it to you!"
As the Foreign Minister looked confused, Lyon leaned forward and snatched the agenda book from his hand. Then he picked up the pen on the table and scribbled it twice, wrote a few words in the original format, and then threw the agenda book back.
"I've added the purchasing matter to your list. I'm planning to get a set of long-distance communication technology. If you have any questions, just ask me. I want to go out for a walk later, so don't waste my time!"
"you you……"
Facing a certain prince, one cannot say that he was impolite, but only that he was arrogant. The serious middle-aged man was so angry that his face turned blue. After stuttering twice, he slammed the table.
"Ridiculous! Disrespectful! Do you know what you are doing? This is a naked provocation! You will give..."
"You were the ones who provoked me first."
Having been holding it in for the entire journey, Leon, who was furious, crossed his arms and asked with a sneer:
"Do you know that I have tolerated you for a long time?
You started to cause trouble for me the moment you got off the airship! You took so long to even get an ID card, and now you're still arranging this and that, and you're always giving me a cold shoulder... I know your Korok Kingdom is awesome, but do you really think others don't have a temper?"
"you!"
Seeing Leon standing up after kicking the stool away and looking at him maliciously, the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Korok felt that he really wanted to hit someone. He couldn't help but lose his momentum and tried to argue:
"This is a meeting between nations! It's not a fight between street hooligans. You are not... professional at all!"
"That's because you guys were unprofessional first!"
After slapping the table, Leon shouted angrily:
"Except for the fact that a lousy prince who has no right to inherit the throne has come, you have skipped the entire reception process. Do you think you are professional? You can't even afford to prepare a few lousy identification cards, and you have to come to me and complain for a long time. Is this how professional you are?
And you, you are quite skilled at putting on airs, but you don't even know why I came here and what I should talk to you about. As a Foreign Minister, are you so fucking professional?"
"..."
Ah... Is this really our fault? Not only did we not prepare the ID card, but we didn't even know what they were here for?
Seeing Leon's angry face, the Foreign Minister, who was frightened by his aura, couldn't help but shrink his neck subconsciously, and then tried to argue:
"What you said were only about the reception process and the agenda. We can discuss it later, but it cannot be used as an excuse for your rude behavior! I am the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Crook, and you must give me the minimum respect! At least... at least don't swear!"
"I didn't say any fucking swear words!"
"..."
