Chapter 960
Deliberately Picking a Trouble
We shouldn't punish the Shadow Organization because of this mistake; keeping Spring around is still very useful.
Tanawu decided to meet Yang Xia in person and focus all his energy on Yan Kingdom, this time going head-to-head with Yan Kingdom.
Tanawu realized that in order to get rid of Su Qi, he had to get rid of Yang Xia first; this was an inevitable process.
Next, Tanawu arrived in Yan Kingdom with great fanfare. Upon arrival, he immediately demanded that Su Qi come out to see him.
In the other world, Tanawu always believed that he was the patriarch and that everyone should respect him.
However, it seems that Yan Kingdom and Phil Kingdom are now out of control. They can trade privately and conduct scientific research independently.
All of this was unforgivable in Tanawu's eyes. He would kill these two people whenever he had the chance, so that he could restore his former prestige in the other world.
"Su Qi, come out here! What kind of skill is it to hide in Yan Kingdom like this?"
As Tanawu shouted in the main hall, Yang Xia and Su Qi appeared before him at the same time.
Seeing Tanawu's imposing manner, the two knew he was deliberately looking for trouble. However, with Yang Xia present, Su Qi wasn't worried at all.
During this time, Su Qi finally realized that Yang Xia was a genius; there was no problem he couldn't solve.
In this way, he wouldn't need to take Tanawu seriously at all, and the other party wouldn't be able to continue bullying the Phil Kingdom.
"King Tanawu, why are you so angry? Let's talk things out!"
Yang Xia saw the other party's furious and disdainful appearance, knowing that he wanted to intimidate others with this kind of momentum, but now it was just a joke in their eyes.
Technological strength determines national strength, and the countries of Phil and Yan will soon surpass the technological level of Moonlight.
"Su Qi, didn't you say that Phil Country has the right to manufacture chips? At the very least, you should let me see it for myself."
Tanawu came here specifically to see Su Qi and Yang Xia make a fool of themselves; he thought it was simply impossible.
Su Qi is even seeking refuge in Yan Kingdom. With such a pathetic appearance, it's even more impossible that he has mastered the chip manufacturing rights.
Tanawut's aggressive demeanor was once again on full display.
Logically speaking, the affairs of other countries should not concern him much, but Tanawu insisted on getting involved.
Seeing Tanawu's aggressive demeanor, Kanapan was momentarily at a loss for words.
...Actually, all of this was orchestrated by Yang Xia behind the scenes. Kanapan had no idea where the chip was hidden, nor did he understand its immense power. However, Kanapan knew in his heart that Yang Xia was the one truly acting in the best interests of the Phil Kingdom. Now, with Yang Xia's help, the Phil Kingdom was able to steadily progress in various fields. If it weren't for Yang Xia, the Phil Kingdom would have long been driven to desperation by Tanawu.
“Kanapan, I know you can’t produce anything, can you? This is blatant deception,” Tanawu said coldly. “You dare to associate with a despicable person like Yang Xia and try to fool me with such tactics. Moonlight Kingdom’s sanctions against Phil Kingdom will only become more severe. If you apologize and compensate us now, it’s not too late.”
Seeing that Kanapan remained silent for a long time, Tanawu was convinced that he had guessed correctly—the two were merely putting on an act to deceive him and had no way of producing chip manufacturing rights. In Tanawu's eyes, these two insignificant figures were nothing more than petty tricksters. This time, he would not let them off the hook. If it was confirmed that the two were playing tricks, he would definitely ruthlessly destroy the Kingdom of Phil and the Great Zhou Kingdom. Tanawu maintained his superior attitude, coldly questioning Kanapan.
Now that things had come to this, Kanapan hurriedly looked at Yang Xia, only to find Yang Xia remaining calm and collected, his thoughts unknown. Seeing that Tanawu was becoming increasingly arrogant, he knew that if the chip wasn't handed over today, this guy definitely wouldn't let it go.
“Meng Yu, since King Tanawu is so interested in our chips, why don’t you take them out and let him have a good look? After all, Moonlight Kingdom has never seen chips before,” Yang Xia suddenly said, urging Meng Yu to take out the chips so Tanawu could examine them closely. They weren’t lying, of course; these things were crucial to Phil Kingdom. Only by possessing independent chip manufacturing rights could they completely break free from Tanawu’s control.
Meng Yu held the chip in his palm for Tanawu to see. This little gadget was the first time Tanawu had ever seen one. Seeing that Yang Xia had indeed produced the chip, Tanawu's heart sank. If everything was as Yang Xia said, then the Moonlight Kingdom had lost control over these countries. Tanawu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down, thinking that Yang Xia was just bluffing him—this little thing couldn't possibly be as powerful as they made it out to be.
"Yang Xia, you're just trying to fool me with this little gadget? You never tell the truth." Although Tanawu's heart was starting to pound, he remained defiant, refusing to believe that this little chip could have such power. Kanapan also looked at Yang Xia with a face full of doubt. He, too, had never witnessed the chip's power firsthand; everything was done by Yang Xia.
Seeing that Tanawu was still stubbornly clinging to his position, Yang Xia ignored him and instead gestured for Meng Yu to place the chip into the advanced instrument beside them. "King Tanawu, open your eyes and see for yourself just how powerful our chip is. From now on, we won't need those technology supply chains at all; we can independently complete many technological research projects." Yang Xia demonstrated the chip's superior performance while looking at Tanawu with a provocative smile. He wanted to see how long this extremely arrogant fellow could keep up the act. Now that they possessed the chip manufacturing rights, they had successfully seized the power and would no longer take Moonlight Kingdom seriously. In other words, no matter what despicable means Tanawu used, he could no longer control them. Even in a head-on war, they might not be a match for the two nations. Tanawu was stunned. He had witnessed the chip's power firsthand; Yang Xia hadn't lied. At this rate, Phil Kingdom's technology would leap forward dramatically, and it wouldn't be long before they could manufacture many high-end technological products. Tanawu was slapped in the face. He had personally experienced the power of the chip, and now he could no longer be arrogant—he had lost his voice.
After demonstrating the chip's power, Yang Xia held it in his palm and walked up to Tanawu, making sure he could see it clearly. "King Tanawu, now you should be able to see it clearly, right? If you still can't, you can come a little closer," Yang Xia said, openly humiliating Tanawu without any politeness. This was understandable; Tanawu had been so arrogant before, so Yang Xia was determined to teach him a lesson.
Tanawu had come to see Yang Xia and Kanapan make a fool of themselves, but the outcome was far from what he expected, and he was furious. "You're being unreasonable! What's so great about having such a small chip?" Tanawu still refused to acknowledge Yang Xia's abilities, shrugged, and prepared to leave. Just as Tanawu was about to storm off, Yang Xia blocked his path once again.
"King Tanawu, you needn't worry about these matters. You'll soon find out whether we're being unreasonable or not," Yang Xia said confidently, outlining the upcoming developments. "The chip exclusively developed by Phil Kingdom will be on the market soon, and we'll have to rely heavily on Moonlight Kingdom's sales." He also mocked Moonlight Kingdom, implying they couldn't possibly manufacture such a chip and could only be envious. Although Tanawu wouldn't admit their chip was superior, it was an undeniable fact.
"You just wait! Kanapan, you won't get away with this!" Before leaving, Tanawu was still unwilling to lose to the two men in terms of momentum, and he was still shouting fiercely. But this time, Tanawu was completely defeated. No matter what moves he used, they were no longer effective.
The blockade against Phil was completely ineffective, and other countries naturally discovered Phil's chip technology. Who wouldn't want something so high-quality and inexpensive? Only a fool wouldn't. Obtaining these chips could bring about tremendous changes to one's own country.
"Yang Xia, our chips are now highly sought after by other countries. This situation is truly remarkable. Thank you so much for your help to Phil Country." Kanapan was extremely excited and grateful to Yang Xia, witnessing the current situation. He genuinely felt that Yang Xia was like a god. Before cooperating with Yang Xia, Phil Country was constantly bullied, with most of its territory even occupied by Moonlight Country. Now, after meeting Yang Xia, all the thorny problems were solved, and Phil Country's technology was developing rapidly. It wasn't so much that Phil Country's top scientists helped Yang Xia, but rather that Yang Xia helped them. Sometimes, even Kanapan couldn't understand—Yang Xia was clearly so capable, so why did he need him to send scientists to Yan Country? With Yang Xia's abilities, he could have easily surpassed everything on his own. Kanapan was even more convinced that this was a divine arrangement, allowing him to benefit from this great fortune. Following someone like Yang Xia, he became increasingly confident that Phil Country's future development would definitely be better and better.
"It's nothing. We've always helped each other. Only by developing together can we become stronger." Yang Xia's grand vision was once again evident. He wanted to lead the Kingdom of Phil forward. Just like in the original world, the Kingdom of Yan grew stronger but never waged war against its neighbors. Now in this different world, Yang Xia still intended to follow this path, peacefully developing with neighboring countries.
The emergence of chips has garnered enthusiastic support from other countries, and the trend is increasingly positive. The kind of manipulation that Tanawu used is no longer possible. Other countries are no longer afraid of displeasing Tanawu and are aggressively pursuing chips; even Ruva of Ivory Country is showing interest. Back then, Tanawu disrupted Ivory Country's technology supply chain by blocking Phil Country, which caused Ruva some dissatisfaction, but he dared not say anything due to Tanawu's power. Now, seeing Phil Country developing so well, Ruva naturally has his eye on it, wanting to buy some chips and even consider forming an alliance with Phil Country. This idea startled even Ruva himself—the situation had changed too quickly. Previously, Moonlight Country was incredibly powerful, able to dominate the other world, but suddenly everything has changed. Phil Country has developed so well that even the once-powerful Tanawu can only concede defeat.
All of this was orchestrated by Yang Xia behind the scenes, a fact that Ruva was quite aware of. But that was no longer important. As the ruler of Ivory Country, he naturally considered his nation's interests. He was willing to do anything beneficial to the country's development; no one wanted to be constantly suppressed. Back then, Ruva had only sought out Tanawu to deal with Yang Xia, and he had tasted the bitterness of being controlled. He finally realized that the only true solution was to make his own country strong, like Phil Country now, becoming a prominent nation in the other world. Its science and technology were more advanced, and it quickly rose to the ranks of the world's leading powers in various aspects. More importantly, Phil Country had completely broken free from the control of Moonlight Country and could develop freely. No nation wouldn't envy such a development trend.
In this alternate world, apart from Tanawu, who still harbors strong prejudice against the Phil Kingdom, other countries have completely changed their views and all want to obtain their chips to develop independently. Leaders of various nations are purchasing chips from the Phil Kingdom, striving to advance their own science and technology.
Once the idea took root in Ruva's mind, it wouldn't leave him; he always felt that this was the only way for the Ivory Country to rise rapidly.
He didn't want to be controlled by Tanawu forever. If he were to associate with someone as unreasonable as Tanawu, Ivory Country would only have the right to obey and would have no say at all.
Moreover, the other side does not allow Ivory Country to develop in any aspect, fearing that if they become stronger, Moonlight Country will no longer be able to maintain control.
In the long run, getting involved with Tanawu will lead to a dead end.
After much deliberation, Koruwa decided he couldn't openly make a deal with Kanapan. On one hand, he feared that Tanawu would retaliate if he found out, and on the other hand, he wasn't sure what Kanapan's attitude towards him was.
In the past, their relationship had become very strained, and Ruwa, in order to curry favor with Tanawu, naturally did a lot of things that were detrimental to the Kingdom of Phil.
"How can I make an overture to Kanapan? Will they even accept the idea of an alliance with Ivory Coast?"
Ruva paced anxiously, racking his brains for a solution.
"By the way, I can send someone to secretly deliver ivory, a gift representing the highest level of courtesy from the Ivory Country, to Kanapan."
“Once the other party accepts our gifts, it means we can form an alliance, and then we have nothing to fear.”
Ruva thought he was very clever and that this method would definitely work, so he quickly sent someone to secretly deliver ivory to the Kingdom of Phil.
Kanapan was completely bewildered to receive such a gift from Ruva.
“Strange, why did Ruva suddenly send ivory to our Phil Kingdom? This is a gift that represents the highest level of courtesy from the Ivory Kingdom.”
"What exactly is Ruva up to? Is he trying to trap our Phil Kingdom again?"
Kanapan seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps complaining to Yang Xia. (End of Chapter)
