Chapter 958
is indeed quite serious.
In the eyes of the Moonlight Kingdom, the Phil Kingdom is like a small vassal state of theirs. As long as the other party behaves obediently, they can be given a way out.
Kanapan's actions have thoroughly enraged Tanawu. He might as well wipe out the entire Kingdom of Phil and turn it all into the territory of the Moonlight Kingdom.
Tanawu had long harbored this ambition, and if it weren't for fear of gossip from other countries, it would have attacked the Phil Kingdom long ago.
Over the years, the Kingdom of Phil has behaved reasonably well, obediently following the instructions of the Kingdom of Moonlight, and has never dared to resist in any way.
But ever since Yang Xia came into his sight, everything seems to have changed.
Tanawu couldn't explain what was going on either. He realized that Yang Xia was no good person and had challenged his authority time and time again, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
Yang Xia always manages to come up with all sorts of countermeasures, putting Moonlight Kingdom in a very passive position.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next? If we let them continue to act recklessly, everything will fall into chaos. If other countries follow suit, things will get out of control."
Chun kept pressing for answers, unsure of what measures Tanawu would take next; the matter was indeed quite serious.
“I’ll go find Kanapan right away and see how he’ll face us. I’m sure he won’t go too far; he’s just been misled by Yang Xia.”
After much deliberation, Tanawu felt that Yang Xia was difficult to control, so he decided to start by targeting Kanapan, which would serve as a warning to others.
The next day, Tanawu went to Kanapan's door, looking furious, hoping to intimidate him with his imposing manner.
In Tanawu's eyes, Kanapan should always be the kind of person who obeys orders without question, so the other party will definitely submit.
"King Tanawu, why have you come in person?"
Seeing the other party's angry appearance, Kanapan already knew that they had come to demand an explanation, but Kanapan remained remarkably calm.
Over the years, the Kingdom of Phil has suffered countless humiliations, with most of its territory occupied by the Kingdom of Moonlight. The Kingdom of Moonlight's aggressive attitude has long fueled Kanapan's anger.
He had only been able to endure it because of the other party's strength, but now that Yang Xia was his backer, Kanapan felt much more confident.
Although Kanapan maintained a polite demeanor towards Tanawu on the surface, he felt much more at ease inside.
...He knew what he should do. Standing with Yang Xia was the right choice. No matter what Yang Xia's purpose was in coming today, Kanapan would remain calm and would not waver in his original intention.
"Kanapan, stop playing dumb with me. If you don't want the tragedy of the past to happen again, cut off all ties with Yan immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Tanawu immediately launched into harsh words, forcing Kanapan to immediately terminate his cooperation with Yan Kingdom.
His meaning was clear: if they didn't listen to his advice, he would swallow up the entire country of Phil and turn it into the territory of the Moonlight Kingdom.
Kanapan was disgusted by this threat. He was, after all, the ruler of a country, and he felt extremely averse to being so blatantly coerced.
What's more, the other party was a demon who had occupied most of his country, Phil, which intensified Kanapan's hatred.
Kanapan didn't say much. He knew he wasn't capable of fighting the Moon Kingdom alone yet, so he could only endure it for now.
Yang Xia is right. No matter what, we must always strive to strengthen ourselves. Only with strength can we have the resources to fight against our enemies.
Kanapan now fully understands this and realizes how foolish he had been in the past. He only truly saw the light after meeting Yang Xia.
"I will blockade Yan Kingdom immediately. All countries that have dealings with Yan Kingdom will not have a good ending. This is the last chance. You'd better think it through."
Seeing that Kanapan remained silent for a long time, Tanawu knew that Kanapan had been won over by Yang Xia and that he would not be able to persuade him in the short term.
But Tanawu didn't have that patience. He came today to demand that Kanapan make a statement and sever ties with Yan Kingdom so that he wouldn't be implicated. Otherwise, Tanawu would target Kanapan.
As for any serious consequences, that's his own doing, and Tanawu will show no mercy.
Seeing that Tanawu kept pressuring him to sever ties with Yan, Kanapan knew that the other party was actually somewhat afraid.
What I fear is that if I join forces with Yang Xia to deal with the Moonlight Kingdom, I will destroy the Moonlight Kingdom's status as the strongest in the other world.
Kanapan certainly knew the consequences of refusing Tanawu, but as the king of Phil, and given Yang Xia's sincerity towards him, Kanapan knew what to do.
"I'm sorry, I can't do what you're asking. My cooperation with Yang Xia will not be canceled because of anyone."
"Only Yang Xia is truly cooperating with Phil Country, offering the greatest concessions, and genuinely thinking about Phil Country's interests."
For the first time ever, Kanapan refused Tanawu's request. Upon hearing this, Tanawu thought he had misheard.
"What? Did I hear that right, Kanapan? You're asking for it."
"Do you know what the consequences will be if you disobey me? Your country, Phil, will soon disappear from this other world."
Tanawu immediately revealed a fierce expression, pointing his finger at Kanapan's nose, as if he wanted to strangle him on the spot.
If it weren't for the fact that they were on Phil's territory, Tanawu would have already taken action.
This guy was used to being domineering and never thought anyone would dare to refuse him to his face. He was so angry that he went crazy.
Seeing the other party's exasperated look, Kanapan smiled faintly, becoming even more convinced that his choice was right.
People like Tanawu only know how to conquer with force, making everyone work for Moonlight Kingdom, and they don't treat people from other countries as human beings at all.
Only by following Yang Xia can one's country develop healthily. Kanapan understands this very well and is very fortunate to have met Yang Xia.
If he hadn't met Yang Xia, and had encountered a situation like this, Kanapan might have compromised.
But now everything is completely different. With Yang Xia as his powerful backer, Kanapan has finally been able to hold his head high and refuses to bow down to the Moonlight Kingdom again.
"Tanawu, I think it's you who needs to see the situation clearly. Your domineering style is almost outdated."
“Every country is an independent entity. Mutual respect and common development are the right path. What you are doing is doomed to self-destruction.”
Kanapan then started reasoning with Tanawu, who was completely bewildered and never expected things to turn out this way.
"You...you...you're absolutely insane! You're a reckless idiot! I'm afraid you won't even know how you die!"
Tanawu was completely enraged and kept cursing Kanapan with the most vicious words.
Tanawu roared like a madman, unleashing a torrent of abuse upon Kanapan.
"Guards, escort King Tanawu out. He needs to calm down. Let him go back to Moonlight Kingdom to calm down." Kanapan didn't want to say anything more to this madman, so he had him "escorted" out.
"Kanapan, you're insane! You're dead! Just you wait!"
Tanawu never dreamed that Kanapan would dare to kick him out. It was a blatant humiliation, and he couldn't stand it. He was furious.
"I'm so angry! They're a bunch of lunatics! That damned Yang Xia, and that damned Kanapan, neither of them will live!"
As the patriarch of a large family in another world, being kicked out would definitely be a big joke if word got out.
Unable to swallow his anger, Tanawu returned to his room and began smashing things.
Before long, the ground was a mess. The guards didn't know what had happened, and none of them dared to go forward to stop it, for fear of getting into trouble.
They had never seen Tanawu so angry. In the other world, Tanawu was an extraordinary being, and no one dared to disobey his will, so they had never seen him so insane.
After venting his anger for a while, Tanawu finally stopped, exhausted. Unable to swallow his anger, he immediately summoned Chun, the leader of the Shadow Organization.
"Your Majesty, what has happened?"
When spring arrived and saw the mess, she knew that Tanawu must have been rebuffed in the Kingdom of Phil to be so angry.
However, Chun found it hard to believe that the usually obedient Phil Kingdom would dare to offend Tanawu.
“That damned Kanapan dared to refuse my request and even gave me a lecture. This man cannot be allowed to live. Send someone to get rid of him immediately, and do it cleanly.”
"After we deal with him, we'll put Doro in power, according to our original plan."
Enraged, Tanawu issued an order for the Shadow Organization to immediately kill Kanapan and then install the puppet Doro on the throne.
It turns out that the wicked Tanawu had long planned this, cultivating Doro, a minister under Kanapan, just waiting for the right time to have him take his place.
Now that Kanapan has openly opposed him, Tanawut naturally wants to kill him and then let Doro take his place as a puppet.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will go and kill Karnapan right now. If Your Majesty commands him to die today, I will not let him live until tomorrow!"
A sinister smile appeared on Chun's face, and then he immediately retreated.
The Shadow Organization is known for its ruthless and vicious methods; killing someone is nothing to them. No wonder Chun was so confident and wanted to immediately bring Kanapan's head to Tanawu.
Kanapan wasn't stupid, of course. After Tanawu left in a huff, he quickly went to find Yang Xia and told him what had just happened.
“Yang Xia, Tanawu just came to see me and asked me to sever ties with Yan Kingdom, but I refused. That guy threatened to kill me.”
“I know that Tanawu is a ruthless killer, so I hope you can find a way to protect me. I may fall victim to his evil deeds next.”
Kanapan quickly stated his request. It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid; he was quite familiar with Tanawu's insidious methods.
However, Kanapan now regards Yang Xia as a god and believes that Yang Xia will definitely protect him, so he is not so afraid.
"Don't worry, I won't let Tanawu hurt a single hair on your head."
“You are a partner of our Yan Kingdom. We are already family. I will protect you even without you saying so.”
Yang Xia was indeed broad-minded, and he had long anticipated that Tanawu would target Kanapan; all of this was within his expectations.
"Yang Xia, I'm relieved to hear your words. I hope we can resolve this matter as soon as possible."
“Tanawu is a devil. He has occupied most of our country’s territory, and now he wants to wipe out the country. You must help me get rid of him.”
Speaking of Tanawu, Kanapan was filled with hatred. After enduring so many years, he finally met Yang Xia, his savior, and felt that his miserable days were about to end.
"Here's what we'll do: you'll stay in Yan for now. I'll have people protect you every step of the way, and those people won't have a chance to make a move."
"Tanawut is like a grasshopper in autumn; he won't be able to hop around for many more days. Many countries hate him to the core."
Yang Xia spoke with particular conviction, believing that many countries shared this view.
"You can stay in Da Zhou with peace of mind. I need to go and talk things out with Tanawu. Tell him to come at me with whatever means he has."
Yang Xia was indeed a man of action. He understood that Tanawu was making an example of him, and if they couldn't afford to offend him, they would take it out on Kanapan.
As the Great Zhou Kingdom was accelerating its technological development, Tanawu deliberately picked a fight with Kanapan, partly to put pressure on the Great Zhou Kingdom.
"Yang Xia, you must be careful. That Tanawu is a heartless and ruthless guy. He won't show any mercy to anyone."
“In the entire other world, no one dares to go against him, so our actions this time have indeed angered him, and he will definitely take action against you.”
Kanapan was deeply moved. He finally saw Yang Xia's true character; he was an exceptionally upright and kind person.
At such a critical moment, Yang Xia did not push himself away, but instead took the initiative to stand in front. Just because of his sense of responsibility, Kanapan knew that he had followed the right person.
"Don't worry, he won't dare to do anything to me. Many countries are watching us now. Even if he wanted to kill someone openly, he would have to find a decent excuse."
"If he dares to play dirty tricks on me, I'll teach him a lesson. There's no need to be polite to someone like that."
Yang Xia spoke these words with an air of authority, indicating that he already had his own methods for dealing with Tanawu and was not worried at all.
Although Kanapan was a little uneasy, he thought about what Yang Xia had done before and felt that what he said was true, so he was relieved.
"Your Majesty, that Kanapan has actually fled to the Great Zhou Kingdom. It seems we will have to put in some effort to get rid of him."
Chun, the leader of the Shadow Organization, quickly reported the news to Tanawu, feeling somewhat annoyed.
Killing someone wouldn't have been a problem for them, but they were a step too late, allowing Kanapan to escape to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
“Even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, you must bring me his head.”
Upon hearing this, Tanawu roared in anger. He hadn't expected his plan to go so wrong, and seeing that he couldn't kill Kanapan immediately, he couldn't vent his anger.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I have ordered my men to keep a close watch on him throughout the Great Zhou Kingdom, and they will seize the opportunity to take his head." (End of Chapter)
