Chapter 975
Nothing
"Prime Minister Banluo, have you ever heard the story of the three monks having no water to drink?"
"Our cooperation with Phil is now going very well. Both sides will do their best to develop their own strength. But things will probably be different when there are more people."
Yang Xia smiled and told him the story of the three monks, implying that it was impossible to cooperate with Ivory Country.
"King Yangxia, our Ivory Kingdom has always been exceptionally generous and righteous. As long as you cooperate with us, we will do our best to help the Yan Kingdom."
Banluo understood the implication in Yang Xia's words, but he still shamelessly continued the conversation, hoping that Yang Xia would change his mind.
"Prime Minister Banluo, some things cannot be accomplished by mere words."
Seeing that Banluo was shamelessly continuing to communicate with him, Yang Xia bluntly pointed out the problems in this regard.
The implication is that the current Ivory Coast is nothing; they have no real strength, yet they keep making empty promises to themselves. Yang Xia doesn't buy into that at all.
Banluo felt particularly embarrassed after hearing Yang Xia's words. The Ivory Country was indeed in a state of decline and had no value to him.
Banluo never expected Yang Xia to say such things so bluntly; it was practically a blatant insult.
"Your Majesty, since that's the case, I'll take my leave now."
Seeing that Yang Xia had already said so much, Banluo knew that staying any longer would only humiliate him, so he left with a displeased expression.
"Your Majesty, the people of Ivory Kingdom are truly shameless. They actually want a share of the pie at this time. They haven't contributed anything, yet they're dreaming."
After seeing Banluo leave, General Mengyu couldn't help but say the same thing, as their impression of Xiangya Kingdom was getting worse and worse.
"Yes, Ivory Coast is of no value to us, so there is no need for us to provoke them."
Yang Xia's attitude was very firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Your Majesty, if we simply refuse the Ivory Kingdom's request, they will surely hold a grudge."
“That Luwa is a treacherous villain. He might try to embarrass our Yan Kingdom in the future.”
General Meng Yu spoke to Yang Xia about this topic with a serious expression.
"That's right. We should still be careful in the future, but the Ivory Coast is no match for us now."
Yang Xia did not take the Ivory Kingdom seriously, but he had already experienced Ruwa's treachery and would not let his guard down.
Having witnessed Banluo's trip to Yan Kingdom, Yang Xia knew that many countries wanted a share of Yan Kingdom's profits, but he would weigh the pros and cons and would not cooperate with other countries casually.
In the coming period, Yan Kingdom's technological development will become increasingly rapid, and various contradictions will become more prominent.
He might have more and more troubles to deal with, but Yang Xia was mentally prepared. He believed he could handle anything that came his way.
Banro failed to complete the mission entrusted to him by Ruva and returned to the Ivory Country dejectedly.
"Prime Minister Banluo, judging from your appearance, you must have been rejected, right?"
Ruva was also hoping that Banro would bring him good news soon. When he saw Banro and noticed his condition, his heart skipped a beat.
It seems that my previous guess was completely correct; Yang Xia could not possibly cooperate with Ivory Country.
But Ruwa knew how formidable Banro was; his silver tongue was not to be underestimated, and he could usually handle anything successfully.
"Your Majesty, it's all my fault for being incompetent. Yang Xia flatly refused me, and no matter how I pleaded with him, it was to no avail. It seems that cooperation between our Ivory Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom is impossible."
Banro said these words to Rue dejectedly.
"Prime Minister Banluo, what exactly happened? What exactly did that Yang Xia tell you?"
Although Ruva already knew the result, he was still extremely unwilling to accept it, and he wanted to know exactly where the problem lay.
They came to plead for mercy with such sincerity, but Yang Xia didn't give them the slightest bit of face.
"Your Majesty, that Yang Xia actually told me the story of the three monks who had no water to drink, just to tell me that he will not cooperate with any other country except Phil."
"I tried everything I could to reason with him, but Yang Xia was forced to say that our Ivory Country is now worthless. This blatant humiliation is extremely embarrassing."
Banluo angrily recounted his meeting with Yang Xia to Luwa in detail.
Luwa vividly recalled the scene in his mind: Yang Xia actually looked down on the Ivory Country so much that he belittled them to the point of being worthless.
"You, Yang Xia, not only have you rejected our Ivory Kingdom's requests time and time again, but you've also gone so far as to blatantly humiliate us like this."
"Don't think that our Ivory Country has fallen to the point where everyone can trample on it. I will make Yang Xia regret this."
Luwa was repeatedly rejected by Yang Xia, which fueled his anger and made him unable to swallow his resentment.
But Yang Xia was right. The Ivory Country is nothing now. Their treasury is empty, their weapons are outdated, and they have no ability to compete with the Yan Country.
Ruva paced anxiously around the hall, knowing that his strength was now far too weak, but he was still thinking about ways to take revenge on Yang Xia.
After much thought, he realized that he had no chance of competing with Yang Xia except by using other countries.
When it comes to taking advantage of other countries, the Moonlight Country is the first one that comes to mind.
Moonlight Kingdom was once the largest country in the entire other world. Although that is almost history, Moonlight Kingdom's strength should not be underestimated.
If I can find a way to cooperate with the Moonlight Kingdom, we can work together to deal with Yang Xia.
"Since Yang Xia is so shameless, let's go ask the Moonlight Kingdom for help."
Ruya finally made this decision, and Banro stared at him somewhat nervously.
Ivory Country has offended not only Yang Xia and Kanapan, but also Tanawu.
Last time, Tanawu was so angry that he almost broke Ruva's bones. Now Ruva actually has to beg Tanawu again, which even Banro finds unbelievable.
"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to ask the Moonlight Kingdom for help? They might not cooperate with us anyway," Banro said frankly, not wanting Ruwa to run into a brick wall again.
"We have no way out now. Even if it means kowtowing to the Moonlight Kingdom, I will beg them to help us. Otherwise, our Ivory Kingdom will truly become a country that everyone can trample on."
Ruwa understood, of course, that the relationship between Ivory Country and Moonlight Country was also very strained, but he was determined to seek help from Tanawu.
He believed that as long as he was sincere enough, he would be able to win Tanawu's back.
"Your Majesty, Ruwa from Ivory Kingdom requests an audience." King Tanawu of Moonlight Kingdom was in the main hall thinking about the Red Star mobile phone when he suddenly heard this news from his subordinates, and his face immediately turned furious.
"What is that reckless Ruwa doing here again? Does he want me to just kill him?"
Tanawu gritted his teeth with hatred whenever he thought of Ruwa's betrayal.
"Tell him to be smart and get out of here right now, or he won't be polite!"
Tanawu didn't want to see Ruwa at all and had him thrown out.
Ruva was thus forcibly driven out, but he was unwilling to accept it and went to the Moon Kingdom again and again to plead for mercy.
"Your Majesty, that Ruwa has sent many more valuable gifts and has also promised to give away their country's industrial chain."
"Ruva said he only wanted to see the king once."
His men kept bringing such news to Tanawu.
After seeing Ruwa's actions, Tanawu finally reluctantly agreed to meet him.
"Let him in. I want to see what this fool is up to now."
Tanawu told his men in an annoyed tone to let Ruva in to see him.
"King Tanawu, I'm so glad to see you again. There are some things I need to say to you in person. We did have quite a few misunderstandings before."
Upon meeting, Ruwa began to chatter on and on about these things to Tanawu.
He tried to completely distort the truth of his previous actions, hoping to get away with it and use Moonlight Kingdom to help Ivory Kingdom.
"Hehe, then tell me properly, what exactly went wrong between us? And what about what happened between you and Yang Xia before?"
When Tanawu saw Ruwa's shameless face, he was both angry and amused. He couldn't help but recall the scene from before—the scene that Yang Xia had deliberately shown him.
In his efforts to secure cooperation with Yang Xia and Kanapan, Ruwa portrayed himself as worse than dog shit. Now, Ruwa claims it was all a misunderstanding—no one, not even a fool, would believe such an explanation.
“King Tanawu, I swear to God, from beginning to end, I have never sincerely cooperated with Yan Kingdom.”
"The reason I said those things to Yang Xia before was actually to feign cooperation with Yan Kingdom, so that our two countries could join forces to defeat Yang Xia."
Ruva, with his silver tongue, quickly fabricated this reason.
Before coming to the Moonlight Kingdom, he racked his brains trying to find a solution. The mistakes had already been made, so of course he wanted to find a way to make amends.
He believed that by turning black into white and by giving so many generous gifts to the Moonlight Kingdom, he would surely agree to cooperate with Tanawu.
Hearing Ruva's series of lies, Tanawu found it somewhat amusing.
He knew, of course, that what this guy was saying wasn't sincere at all, and was all nonsense.
However, Ruwa's eyes darted around, and Tanawu neither exposed him directly nor refused Ruwa's request.
He realized that the current situation was particularly unfavorable to his Moonlight Kingdom as well. The Yan Kingdom and the Phil Kingdom had established a good cooperative relationship, which had now pushed even the largest nation like them into an awkward position.
The Moonlight Kingdom did indeed need an ally. After considering these factors, Tanawu decided to feign agreement to cooperate with Ruva.
In essence, it's about using the other party as a tool to help deal with Yang Xia when the time is right.
"King Ruva, after hearing what you said, I finally understand some of the truths from before."
"Since you are so sincere in wanting to cooperate with our Moonlight Kingdom, of course I will not refuse."
Suddenly, Tanawu changed his tune and started chatting with Ruva with a smile.
This turn of events filled Ruva with elation. His plan had finally succeeded, and now he could join forces with the Moonlight Kingdom to deal with Yang Xia.
"King Tanawu is wise. My previous efforts have not been in vain. As long as we unite, we will surely defeat Yan Kingdom."
When Ruva heard that Tanawu was finally willing to cooperate with him, he spoke confidently about these matters again.
They now regard Yang Xia as a common enemy and want to eliminate him as soon as possible so that they can obtain the benefits they desire.
Tanawu didn't want to say anything to Ruvado, since it was just a mutually exploitative relationship anyway. Besides, the thought of Ruvado's shameless face earlier made him feel disgusted.
Ruva carefully observed Tanawu's expression, knowing full well that the other party particularly disliked him, but still trying to find a way to please him.
At this awkward moment, Chun, the leader of the Shadow Organization sent out by Tanawu, returned.
"Your Majesty, the investigation is progressing well."
Chun's face showed a hint of pride, and he was about to reveal the results of his investigation, but when he looked at Luwa next to him, he was unsure whether he should speak up or not.
"What's the situation? Just tell us directly, we're all on the same side."
Tanawu knew what Chun meant, so he directly told him to say it.
He knew that Ruva was now incapable of betraying him and would cooperate wholeheartedly.
“Your Majesty, I have investigated thoroughly. The reason Yang Xia was able to develop a 5G phone is because he had an electromagnetic wave container nearby.”
"It was this electromagnetic wave container that emitted the 5G signal, which is why Yan was able to produce high-end 5G mobile phones."
Chun quickly told Tanawu everything he had found out from his investigation, knowing that this matter was extremely important.
Tanawu and Ruwa were both extremely surprised when they heard this news. No wonder Yan Guo was so powerful; it turned out Yang Xia had such a secret weapon.
The two looked at each other, finally figuring out the truth behind it all.
"King Tanawu is wise. I never expected that your Moonlight Kingdom would actually uncover the truth behind Yang Xia. They actually have such advanced equipment."
"Without such high-end equipment, they wouldn't be able to produce such powerful 5G phones."
Luwa suddenly realized why Yan had suddenly become so powerful, able to produce such high-end mobile phones that far surpassed theirs.
Now that he finally knew the truth behind it, he still thought Yang Xia was quite amazing, wondering where he got such advanced gadgets. (End of Chapter)
