Chapter 273: Negotiations (1)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

There weren't many people at the White House dinner, but they were all absolute heavyweights. Apart from US President Yurisses Monroe Polk, the two leaders of the Skull and Bones Society, Josh Morgan, the patriarch of the Morgan Family, also rushed over from London. The patriarch of the Rockefeller Family, Clark Rockefeller, also appeared at the White House.

The emperor, the War God King, and the king side by side.

Three against three.

They were all powerful figures with great authority in their hands, but compared to the Skull and Bones Society and the US Government, the Emperor's side was clearly much more united, and their demands were more consistent.

Dinner is a standard state dinner, This was a courtesy to the Emperor, occupy 70,000 square kilometers of land, Tens of thousands of soldiers, with a complete range of naval, air and ground forces, With an administrative system, a military system, an economic system, and a secret service system that only belonged to the royal family, there were more than a million people belonging to the royal family. This was definitely not a status that a simple hegemon could possess. Nowadays, the royal family was increasingly seen as the embryonic form of a country. No matter where the emperor went, they would receive sufficient respect.

Of course, on the surface.

The dishes at the American State Dinner weren't very impressive, Simple fruit salad, Boiled Maine lobster, lemon ice cream, dry rib-eyed steak, traditional apple pie with vanilla ice cream, two bottles of white wine, that's all. There's really nothing special about it. For Lin Xiaocao, who eats the most energy, a steak is still eye catching. Things like dessert are all purely optional.

As for the honor of dining at the White House, In Lin Xiaocao's heart, there wasn't even the slightest bit. The so-called White House, In his eyes, it was just a bigger courtyard, In terms of area, the War God Palace in Nine Continents City was nearly ten times larger than the White House, It was even three to four times bigger than the political heart of the Divine Boat Empire-the Hidden Dragon Sea, The scenery inside wasn't inferior to the White House. In terms of power, as the leader of a major faction of the Eastern superpower, the prince of the royal family, and His Highness the War God of the Dark World, he didn't have any respect for the power of the US president. In his opinion, this so-called state banquet was nothing special. It was just a meal.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was deathly quiet.

From meeting to eating, They all said polite words that were neither salty nor insipid, As if all the talk had been prepared after supper, The White House was not a private venue, but it was definitely a private venue. Six people, at most, were from the three factions. They were not pleasing to each other. There was no need for them to have a strong backing. There were not many political factors. If they could not do anything, then the so-called big shots would be too pathetic.

So when the last supper dessert in front of them was removed, US President Yurisses took a sip of red wine and stared directly at the Emperor. He smiled calmly and said without concealment, "Your Majesty, I need an explanation," he said straightforwardly.

As he said this, Yurisses ' sharp eyes once again swept towards Lin Xuanyuan, who was standing beside him.

One was Lin Xuanyuan, who was suspected to be a super agent of the Divine Continent Empire, and the other was the Emperor.

For more than 20 days, the two of them had caused the American people to panic, their international status to plummet, and the entire country to suffer heavy losses. At home, the public's support for his presidency had plummeted, and internationally, the United States had become a laughingstock.

This is absolutely intolerable for Yurisses, which is bent on making America even more glorious in its own hands.

Everything was because of Lin Xiaocao and the Emperor.

The former started vigorously, while the latter casually changed the full stop.

It's over just like that?

How could it be so easy?!

"What explanation do you want?"

The Emperor said indifferently, Ignoring Yurisses's ugly expression, He took out a pack of cigarettes and gave one to Wang Fuyu and Lin Xuanyuan, then threw one to the patriarchs of the Morgan and Rockefeller Families. His movements were natural and casual, as if this was not a serious negotiation, but a subconscious action of several men who had just finished their last barbecue at a roadside stall.

Josh Morgan shrugged and lit the cigarette.

Clark Rockefeller, who acknowledged the Morgan Family's leadership of the Skull and Bones Society, also pulled out his lighter.

Six people.

Five of them were puffing and puffing. Yurisses, who had quit smoking for many years, had his eyes twitching slightly. He was a little angry, but he was forcefully suppressed.

He knew very well what these five people's movements meant.

This was a kind of obscure demonstration and also a warning.

The casual and disrespectful actions of the five of them were tantamount to telling him directly. At least, on this table, the few of them did not value the status of president at all. As a president, he was just a member of the six of them. No one could arrogantly reprimand anyone from above.

It was necessary for the three of them to do this.

The reason why the Skull and Bones would cooperate like this was mostly because the three of them had failed to reach an agreement on the internal negotiations of the united front before the banquet.

For a moment, in the restaurant, the Emperor, the Skull and Bones Society, and US President Yurisses seemed to have become lonely.

"Any explanation from His Majesty is what I need and what I want."

The killing intent and fury in Yurisses's eyes flashed, and then he calmed down and said indifferently.

"I'm sorry, Mr. President."

The Emperor spat out the smoke from his mouth, and with his other hand playing with the glass of white wine, he chuckled, "I don't think I have anything to explain."

"Alright, since His Majesty does not intend to explain, then I will say hello."

Yurisses took a deep breath and said quietly, "Your Majesty, the imperial lieutenant general, Gemini, came to the United States with a high profile and had a violent conflict with thirteen X-class masters in the United States, didn't he?"

"No."

The Emperor looked up at him and asked, "Who said Gemini came to America?"

"You!"

Yurisses's eyes leapt with killing intent. His expression immediately darkened. He did not seem to have expected the Emperor to deny it so straightforwardly. This was a completely open-minded attitude and did not have the slightest sincerity to negotiate.

Gemini was an important figure in his questioning of the Emperor. Many questions revolved around the female general of the Imperial Family. Now, the other party directly denied it, making him unable to continue asking any questions. For a moment, the President was so aggrieved that he almost vomited blood.

"No?"

Yurisses said coldly, "I remember His Majesty personally asking me to ask another group of royalty to enter the United States to help you clean up thirteen X-class men. Isn't this another group of people led by Gemini? Then who is she?"

"She?"

The Emperor's lips curled into a smile. In English, there were two words for him and her. He said directly, "No, not her. It's him."

The Emperor stretched out his hand and pointed at Lin Xuanyuan. "Mr. President, I can say with certainty that the strength of the Royal Clan's Lieutenant General Gemini is now at X class. But this time, I am facing thirteen people of the same level as her. How useful do you think it is for me to call her here?" "My original intention was to call Xuanyuan over to help me. Unfortunately, those thirteen people moved too fast and didn't let me wait for reinforcements."

The Emperor paused and looked at Lin Xuanyuan. He shook his head and sighed, "Little brat, you're too late. The other people I'm talking about are my War God King, Li Hu, and Wang Jianghu, not Gemini. Mr. President, you seem to have misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding?!"

Yurisses clenched his fists tightly. He did not expect the Emperor to deny the fact that Gemini had come to the United States. He could only ask with gritted teeth, "Then on the battlefield where His Majesty fought against the thirteen X-class warriors, who is the woman who brought elites to slaughter our ordinary American secret service warriors?"

"I don't know, I don't know."

The Emperor opened his eyes, his face blank.

'"..."

Yurisses cursed the Emperor's son of a bitch in his heart, his tone even colder and gloomier. "If His Majesty didn't know, how could he have appeared on the battlefield at that time? Furthermore, it was at a time when that woman was in danger?"

"I don't know that woman."

The Emperor said without any hesitation, "The reason I appeared there was because I received news of thirteen X-ranked women appearing there. As for the woman you think is Gemini … Mm …"

He slowly lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying in an uncertain tone, "Was it a coincidence?"

Yurisses was shocked.

In other words, the Emperor's shamelessness directly stunned the President.

This is also fucking okay?!

"You are sophistry!"

The president was silent for three or four minutes before he suddenly reacted. His voice subconsciously rose and he shouted angrily.

"What evidence do you have to prove that I was the one who made the excuse?"

The Emperor narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly, " Yurisses, in the absence of evidence, I can say that you are a slander."

Yurisses stared at the Emperor, seemingly forgetting what he should say.

"Alright, Yurisses."

The Emperor's tone became more and more relaxed. He casually leaned against the chair, showing that he was completely careless. He didn't even need to address him as Mr. President and directly called him by his name.

He looked at the gloomy-looking President of the United States in front of him and said in a deep tone, "You should understand that I'm not here to quarrel with you today. I think we should say something useful, right?"
