Chapter 78 A Little Warning

The noisy sounds are endless.

Peter shrank his body and subconsciously kept himself from the information in front of him to a certain extent. He narrowed his eyes, and his dizzy old eyes saw only a blur after taking off his glasses, but that was good... or that was better, at least in any case, he didn't have to face those annoying faces. Otherwise, Peter would be unimaginable if he had the intention to continue to persevere.

“Quiet, quiet!!”

A sharp, thick and thick sound rang out, suppressing the noisy quarrel.[]

"Everyone, we are not sitting here now, not for arguing."

The middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes stood up and stretched out his hands.

"In recent months, there have been continuous attacks on cargo ships in the border areas, which not only aroused dissatisfaction from the Merchant Association, but also affected the rapid rise of prices in the entire Land of Light. We must suppress this trend and make countermeasures!"

"What good can we do?"

Another person put down the information in his hand and spread his hands helplessly.

"We have sent an investigation team, but so far, the investigation team has not given us a clear and specific report! We need to know what happened and who did it!"

"It takes time, after all, there are too few clues, and we still need to continue investigating."

"But there is no time anymore, because the price rises and the public's support for our parliament is declining sharply. We must find a way to reverse the situation, otherwise, the whole country will have a big mess."

What's the use of saying this now?

Peter pressed his temple and sighed. He would open every day, but he could not draw a conclusion. At this moment, in Peter's blurry eyes, a dark figure rose up.

"Everyone, I have something to say."

Bode.

Hearing this voice, Old Peter was quickly excited. Then he grabbed his glasses and put them on, picked up the quill in his hand, and looked at the man who was walking towards the lecture. He was about forties, wearing a simple black coat, and his firm face gave people a sense of peace and majesty. His thick lips were pursed tightly, and his golden hair was meticulously combed backwards, showing the owner's careful and rigorous personality. As he walked to the lecture, the originally noisy parliamentary hall was much quieter at this moment.

"I think your discussion is just a waste of time and meaningless. We should not focus on how to solve this matter itself. In any case, the price of various commodities in China is rising now. Although the amplitude is not large, this still makes the people very dissatisfied. Haven't you heard it?!"

As he said that, the man waved his hand suddenly and pointed out the window.

"That is the protest of the people. We have been entrusted by them to the important task. We cannot let their trust down. Indeed, the incident of the attack on merchant ships must continue to be investigated, but our top priority is to stabilize prices immediately and avoid further turmoil in the situation. This is what we should do!"

"But Mr. Bode, what should we do?"

Hearing the MP's inquiry, a smile appeared on Bode's face.

"We can ask for assistance from the Principality of Moon, and they can export what we are now inadequate, thereby re-stabilizing the market price."

"I object!"

"I object, too!"

Hearing this, someone immediately stood up and expressed his objection.

"It has been so long since this incident, and the Duchy of Moon has not responded. This shows that they do not want to help us at all! If we take the initiative to make a request, they will definitely use this as a threat to force us to make concessions and compromises!"

"Yes, that dictator, tyrant, I don't believe that woman would help us so kindly."

"How could she care about the life and death of the people? As long as she can stabilize her rule and even slaughter her own people, she is still an angel. It is unimaginable! I object to this proposal, Mr. Bord, our country of light has a history of freedom and a glorious tradition, and we must not bow to evil because of such a trivial matter!"

“The Principality of Moon is our ally anyway.”

Faced with the unanimous opposition from everyone, Bode waved his hand violently.

"And we have no other choice. Other countries do not support our vacant outputs enough. Only the Principal of Moon has enough resources and capabilities to help us. We can send envoys to express our kindness to Miss Lydia. As long as the Principal of Moon is willing to export goods to us at a low price, then we can discuss the demands it has made. I hope you can understand, everyone, it is not the time to discuss those illusory things. If we cannot meet the demands of the people, then in next year's general election... I think you should all understand."

Hearing this, the indignant members of the parliamentary group, all softened at this moment. They looked at each other, but couldn't say a word. However, some people still expressed their own ideas with concern.

"But...what would happen if the people knew that we made a request for assistance to the Principality of Moon? If this matter was spread, it would also be a heavy blow to us..."

"I don't think you need to worry about this."

Bode pressed his hands.

"The people are most concerned about the price increase. As long as we don't say it, no one knows where the food and supplies they buy come from. Indeed, bowing to the Principality of Moon is not a happy thing, but for the sake of the country and for those who support us, we must abandon the boring self-esteem and make some degree of concessions in exchange for national stability. Of course, this is our problem. For our people, they do not need to know where these materials and commodities come from."

Speaking of here, Bode paused.

"They didn't know it before, so naturally they don't care about this issue now."

Hearing this, the MPs no longer had the anxiety they had before, and instead were excitement and excitement. Indeed, this incident has always made them anxious. Now that they have finally found a way to solve this problem, it naturally makes them calm down. These people are very clear that as long as they can appease the dissatisfaction of the people, they will likely continue to sit here in the general election next year, which is the most important thing.

As for face? It doesn’t matter if you occasionally put it in second place or third place, right? Anyway, there will be no shortage of meat.

"So, Mr. Bode, regarding the sending of the envoys..."

“I will go there in person.”

Bode said confidently with his chest raised.

"I will bring the greatest sincerity of our Council to Miss Lydia and promise to fulfill this glorious mission."

Speaking of this, Bode raised his head and looked ahead of him.

“Parliament also asks for approval.”

Facing Bode's gaze, the old man sitting in the high position did not speak for a long time. He sighed long and, after looking around exhaustedly, he forced nodded.

"I accept your application and I will make a conclusion after the parliament votes."

sucker Punch.

Hearing the old man's answer, many of the members of the parliament were present with the same idea. They looked at the old man sitting in the upper position with a hint of contempt. He was so old and wanted to stay in the position of the consul? It's so damn. If it weren't for the old man's dullness, why would the parliament have been in a passive state? Hum, it seems that by the next election, this old man will also get out of that position. By that time...

Thinking of this, many people turned their attention to the confident and proud man who walked off the podium.

Perhaps it will be the arrival of a new era.

But at this moment, in the distance of Deep Rock City, there was a different scene in the Mercenary Association.

"Damn bastard!!"

The mercenaries looked at Billy, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a gray face, and slammed out the door heavily. He rushed through the hall angrily, then left the mercenary association and walked onto his luxurious carriage.

"How is the situation?"

Until then, the man who had been sitting in the car and was hiding in the shadows asked.

"That guy denied everything."

Billy spread his hands helplessly.

"Although I almost put out the evidence and magical images that proved that he was the murderer as per your request, he was not moved at all. That guy actually said that this was all forged by us!!"

Thinking of Rhode's plain expression, Billy gritted his teeth and wanted to chop off his head with his own hands. He had spent so much effort, wasting so much saliva, and even presented evidence, but that guy could actually turn right and wrong so much?

"What about the Mercenary Association's attitude?"

"They said they would continue to investigate."

Billy's expression was very unhappy, but after seeing the man opposite him, he immediately became humble again.

"Dear sir, why don't you take action yourself? If you go in person..."

"I won't go. It's not the time yet. Don't underestimate the Principality of Moon, don't underestimate that woman. The reason why she lets us be here is definitely not because she doesn't know our existence."

“That’s why I hate this country.”

Billy snorted coldly.

"Surveillance is everywhere. You must be careful in your words and actions everywhere, otherwise you will have to worry about disasters coming anytime and anywhere, without any freedom. Moreover, I still don't understand why you are so cautious about a little noble. Even if that woman is paying attention to us, a little noble will not cause any problems even if he is killed. Will that woman turn against us because of this?"

"You won't understand."

On the contrary, the man shook his head, and his voice became much deeper.

"Of course I have my reasons."

Rhode yawned.

After seeing Billy off, Serek, who returned to the room, looked at the young man helplessly, and then exchanged glances with the old president. They were not fools. Since Rod sent Lijie to the Mercenary Association, both of them knew that things were unusual, and now it seems that this is true. After all, Billy is the special envoy of the Land of Light, and there is no need to entangle with a small mercenary leader like Rhode. Although there was a problem between the two before, it would be a bit exaggerated to say that the trouble was raised to the level of the two countries because of this matter.

So, what exactly does this young man have in his hands what the country of light needs?

To be fair, Serek didn't want to know much, because the Mercenary Association is just an association, not the supreme ruler of this city and region. Although the aggressive envoy of the Kingdom of Light now makes them very upset, this is not a problem that can be solved by their own identity.

"Okay, boy."

It was not until this time that the old president stood up, came to Rhodes, and stared at him fiercely.

"Tell me, what kind of trouble did you cause? Don't think we will really protect you. You must know that before you come here, our Mercenary Association has never been so uneasy. To be honest, I really want to tie you up now and then send it to the chattering bastard. He can do whatever he wants to do, so I hope you can tell the truth!"

Facing the old president's gaze, Rhode quietly put down the teacup in his hand, and then spread his hands slightly innocently.

"This won't be the answer you want to know."
