“`

The deep, resonant voice echoed throughout the entire meeting room.

It caused representatives of the various major powers from the West Union to exchange looks, finding the point quite reasonable.

The development of the Dragon King’s Palace was there for all to see, and their actions had indeed affected mutual interests.

Previously, the Eight countries in Southeast had to offer a great deal of resources to them every year.

They had also planted various informants in the Southeast, and it had taken many years of effort to barely keep the region under control.

Who could have expected that in such a short span of time, the Dragon King’s Palace would forcefully take it away.

They even uprooted all of their factories, leaving none behind, directly causing them losses of nearly a hundred billion.

Of course, for them, money was not a big issue; the main problem was that all of the resources also slipped out of their hands.

No one could swallow this affront, and everyone’s attendance at today’s meeting signaled their determination to take action against the Dragon King’s Palace!

“In my opinion, to catch the bandits, first catch the king. The Dragon King’s Palace is arrogant and tyrannical, all because of the Dragon King’s manipulation behind the scenes!

If we can eliminate the Dragon King as soon as possible, their inner ranks will surely fall into chaos and collapse without a fight!”

Quickly, a blue-eyed and high-nosed special envoy from the West Union took the initiative to express his thoughts.

According to him, it was known that the Dragon King’s strength was roughly at level six.

As long as they could assemble an assassination team, all members being strong fighters of level six.

They could sneak into the Eight countries in Southeast and definitely deliver a fatal blow to the Dragon King without his knowledge!

By then, their combined forces could easily take control of the entire Southeast region.

The whole room agreed with this proposal.

“Yo-ho! Then that’s settled. Each of the fifteen major powers will send one level six master, and we will set off for the Southeast region overnight!

Under our united pressure, we will first see if those beasts from the Dragon King’s Palace will give in and submit!

If they remain stubbornly ignorant and willfully blind, hmph, then we’ll eliminate the Dragon King along with them!”

The representative from Cherrywood decided with a bang of fist on the table.

It didn’t take long for the West Union and Cherrywood to reach a consensus. Immediately, they assembled fifteen level six masters and set out together for the Southeast region.

As major powers in their countries, they also directly issued an ultimatum.

They demanded the Dragon King’s Palace to submit, imposing a series of unequal treaties upon them.

Such as:

Offering ten billion in funds every month, unconditionally providing jadeite stone.

Handing over all the treasures from the Dragon King Palace’s treasury, all members of the Dragon King’s Palace must obey their commands…

This was tantamount to making the Dragon King’s Palace directly a subsidiary organization of Cherrywood.

From the overlord of the Eight countries in Southeast to instantly falling to the status of someone else’s lackey.

If they did not agree, the forces from Cherrywood, including those from the West Union region, would sweep in and forcibly eliminate the Dragon King’s Palace!

This message, once issued, instantly caused quite a stir among the Eight countries in Southeast.

Especially for the major families and trade associations controlled by the Dragon King’s Palace in the Southeast, they were eagerly anticipating in secret.

After all, many actions of the Dragon King’s Palace had seriously affected their interests.

If they could use the hands of others to eliminate the Dragon King’s Palace, they could regain complete control over everything.

Moreover, they saw that the force formed by Cherrywood, together with the fourteen Western Alliance Organization members, was not to be underestimated and had troops stationed all over the country.

With many prestigious masters within, once they decided to take serious actions, the Dragon King’s Palace alone would not be enough to contend with them.

Therefore, most people secretly speculated that the Dragon King’s Palace would inevitably not withstand the pressure and would choose to compromise.

Otherwise, in not much time, the Dragon King’s Palace would surely be completely eradicated from the Southeast region.

…

At this moment.

In the Dragon King Palace.

Thud thud thud!

A series of urgent footsteps sounded.

Fox, Black Wolf, and the others entered with somber expressions.

“Lord Dragon King, there’s serious trouble!”

“Voices from around the world are reaching out, demanding we agree to a series of unequal conditions!”

“If we don’t agree, in as short as one day or as long as three days, Cherrywood, along with fifteen other countries, will come to attack us together!”

Especially now, the external situation is extremely tense; the Eight countries in the Southeast, which had finally stabilized, now show signs of unrest.

Even some families and business associations are secretly colluding with Cherrywood, preparing to cooperate both inside and out.

The Dragon King Palace is now beset by enemies on both sides, trapped in a pincer movement.

Although they were aware of the strength of the Dragon King Palace’s foundation, …

In the face of more than a dozen national powers, the Dragon King Palace was clearly at a disadvantage.

How could a small organization contend with more than a dozen countries?

Even mere firepower suppression would be enough to make the entire Dragon King Palace go through fire and water!

For a moment, Fox, Black Wolf, and their comrades were panic-stricken, and their subordinates were terrified.

They all thought that the Dragon King Palace had kicked an iron plate this time.

It could very well mean the extinction of the entire group, or being subjected to unequal treaty restrictions.

For them, it was all just a matter of time.

However, to their surprise, Greg Jensen, after hearing the news, didn’t show the panic they had expected but remained calm from start to finish.

He smiled, gazed at the people in front of him, and asked:

“What do you think should be done about this matter?”

What he didn’t say out loud was that he had anticipated a series of moves from Cherrywood.

After all, the resources of the Eight countries in the Southeast were abundant; whoever got their hands on them would lay the foundation for a stable future in the international arena.

The Eight countries in the Southeast used to be their vassal areas, and they had reaped benefits and tasted the sweetness in just a few decades.

Now, they certainly wouldn’t want to watch all the resources easily fall into their pockets.

Therefore, their choice to pressure the Dragon King Palace at this time was not a surprising move.

In contrast, anyone with a bit of sense could have predicted it.

Upon hearing his words, the others fell into hesitation.

How would they know what to do now?

There were only two paths in front of them.

Either gather all the resources of the Dragon King Palace and wage a tough war against Cherrywood and the Western Alliance,

or meekly accept those unequal treaties and become a subsidiary organization.

But undoubtedly, whatever choice they made, the final outcome would be extremely disadvantageous to the Dragon King Palace.

“Fox, let’s hear your thoughts!”

Seeing that no one else spoke, Greg Jensen turned his gaze to Fox, who was hesitating and struggling to speak.

This guy was full of tricks and probably already had some judgment in mind.

Sure enough, as soon as the words were out, Fox took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and answered:

“Dragon King, just giving away our domain to them means that the Dragon King Palace will only exist in name but be gone in reality. And if we confront them directly, we won’t get any good out of it.

Therefore, in my view, the best solution is not to confront them head-on, but to outsmart them!”
