Chapter 976
Serving the Moonlight Kingdom
None of that matters anymore. All they want now is to find a way to get rid of Yang Xia and vent their anger.
The other world has now undergone a complete overhaul, and the Moonlight Kingdom, once the most powerful nation, can no longer stand firm.
If they don't take action soon, the consequences are predictable: they will all be wiped out by the Yan Kingdom.
"Yes. Now you know that Yang Xia has such a secret weapon, so you must destroy his electromagnetic wave container at all costs."
"King Ruva, this is your last chance. If you can complete this task, I will trust you and maintain our previous cooperation with the Kingdom of Ivory."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tanawu asked Ruwa to help destroy the electromagnetic container in Yang Xia's possession.
This cunning fellow is indeed particularly adept at manipulating others. Since Ruva has come to him of his own accord, of course he should make the most of him.
"King Tanawu, Yang Xia's secret weapon will certainly be closely guarded against. This mission will not be easy to complete."
Ruva was startled, not expecting Tanawu to give him such an order so quickly. He knew, of course, that it wouldn't be easy to carry out.
"King Ruwa, now is the time for you to serve the Moonlight Kingdom. But don't worry, just ask if you need any help."
"If this operation succeeds, I will restore your Ivory Kingdom's privileges and allow you to conduct normal trade cooperation with the Moonlight Kingdom. Moreover, I will make concessions in many aspects."
Seeing that Ruva was hesitant, Tanawu began to increase the incentives, hoping to use this tempting approach to get the other party to agree readily.
To be honest, Tanawu was also very unhappy after hearing this news.
The thought of Yang Xia's smug face made him feel extremely uncomfortable. If they didn't take this opportunity to destroy the treasure in Yang Xia's possession, their Moonlight Kingdom would soon be unable to stand firm.
But Tanawu also understood that Yang Xia was no pushover. If he rashly made a move, he didn't know what the consequences would be.
That's why they wanted to take advantage of Ruva. If they succeeded, everything would be fine, but if they failed, Tanawu would wash his hands of all responsibility.
Luwa was someone he particularly disliked, and he wouldn't hesitate to let Yang Xia kill him.
Ruva did hesitate. He wasn't stupid; he knew Tanawu was using him as a pawn. But when he heard the other party offer a series of tempting conditions, he couldn't help but feel a little tempted.
The Ivory Coast is now too weak; it may not be able to stand up on its own and can only rely on the strength of others.
Yang Xia and Kanapan didn't take him seriously at all. It was only with great difficulty that they managed to get Tanawu to agree to cooperate with them.
Although it was a risky endeavor, Ruva decided to take the plunge for the sake of those tempting offers.
"King Tanawu, just wait for my good news of victory. I will definitely complete the mission perfectly."
Ruva finally agreed readily, and then immediately turned around to go back and make preparations.
To do something like this, you must prepare thoroughly and have a clear understanding of the situation in Yan before you can take action.
Ruva, of course, understood what failure would mean. Therefore, this operation could only succeed; failure was not an option.
On the other hand, Yan's Red Star mobile phones continued to sell like hotcakes, attracting a frenzy of purchases from countries around the world, a momentum that lasted for a long time.
Yang Xia was well aware of the importance of the electromagnetic wave container. Without this treasure, their 5G signal would naturally disappear.
Yang Xia specifically placed the electromagnetic wave container in the control room, with layers of guards outside, to ensure absolute safety and prevent anyone from getting close to this treasure.
Yang Xia was quite satisfied with the current situation. Everything was progressing according to his plan.
Just then, General Meng Yu came to Yang Xia once again.
"Your Majesty, our Red Star mobile phones are still in high demand, and the stock is almost sold out. Everyone is clamoring to add more to their carts," Meng Yu quickly reported.
"General Meng Yu, in that case, immediately order the production of Red Star mobile phones to continue, and stop immediately after another 50,000 units are produced."
Yang Xia quickly issued the order, instructing them to continue producing Red Star phones, but with a clear limit on the quantity.
These phones will all face a cycle of upgrades and replacements. Yang Xia will be launching even higher-end products in the future, so they can't be rushed to market blindly, otherwise it might have an impact later.
"Your Majesty, I have already given the order to continue producing Red Star mobile phones, and to stop once the required quantity is reached."
After relaying Yang Xia's orders, Meng Yu immediately returned to report. Having a capable assistant like General Meng Yu by his side made things much easier for Yang Xia.
Yang Xia nodded in satisfaction; everything was under his control.
No matter the situation, you must ensure that things stay within a certain range to avoid any problems.
Yang Xia's approach is truly admirable. Even with the astonishing speed of development and the many surprising developments, Yang Xia remains remarkably calm and composed.
Only by steadily controlling everything in the Great Zhou Kingdom can it move forward steadily.
After returning to Ivory Coast, Ruva racked his brains for a solution. He accepted Tanawu's order to destroy Yang Xia's electromagnetic container.
Of course, we need to make careful arrangements in this regard to ensure that our actions are foolproof.
Suddenly, Luwa remembered that the state banquet of the Ivory Kingdom was in a few days. If they invited Yang Xia to the Ivory Kingdom, they could find an opportunity to take action in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
"Prime Minister Banluo, immediately send an invitation to Yang Xia of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and make sure he attends our state banquet."
Ruva quickly had Banro send out such an invitation, intending to make his move during this timeframe.
Yang Xia frowned upon suddenly receiving such an invitation.
“Ruva of Ivory Coast suddenly asked me to attend a state banquet, which I felt was unnecessary.”
Yang Xia is now extremely annoyed with Luwa and has no desire to have any interaction with him.
“Your Majesty, it would be inappropriate not to attend. The annual state banquet of the Kingdom of Ivory is a grand affair, and leaders from every country attend it.”
"Moreover, there are many tycoons at the state banquet in Ivory Coast, which may also be a good opportunity to do business."
When General Meng Yu heard that Yang Xia wanted to refuse, he quickly explained that he should still participate.
"Our Red Star mobile phones are already in short supply, so there's no need for any advertising."
"But since you've put it that way, you should just go through the motions to avoid being gossiped about by people from other countries."
Yang Xia finally decided to make a trip to Ivory Coast, but he wouldn't stay long; he would just make a brief appearance to give outsiders an explanation.
A few days later, the state banquet of the Ivory Kingdom was held as scheduled. Yang Xia brought General Meng Yu to the Ivory Kingdom.
The scene was indeed very grand, but it was only slightly less grand than the previous National Day celebrations in Moonlight Kingdom.
After all, their strength is undeniable. The Ivory Coast is now declining and can no longer compare in many aspects.
"King Yang Xia, you've finally arrived! Your presence brings great honor to our Ivory Kingdom!" Ruwa greeted Yang Xia with exceptional enthusiasm upon his arrival. This display was perhaps a bit over the top; Banluo, standing beside him, stared blankly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing Luwa's demeanor, Yang Xia figured the other man was definitely trying to discuss cooperation with him again. There was no need to be polite with someone like that.
"King Ruva, thank you for your kind invitation. We currently have no plans to cooperate with other countries on 5G phones."
"If the King of Ruva has such intentions, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
Yang Xia bluntly poured cold water on the other party, to prevent him from making these requests in public at the subsequent banquet.
Just thinking about it makes me feel extremely annoyed, and I don't want to face the gaze of others.
Rejecting Ruva privately in this way is a way of giving him face and preventing him from being too embarrassed.
Luwa was surprised that Yang Xia still acted this way, showing him no respect whatsoever. His expression changed slightly, and he was naturally very unhappy.
"That damned Yang Xia will never give our Ivory Kingdom any face. I knew that all along, thankfully I sided with King Tanawu."
Ruva cursed inwardly, but forced a fawning smile onto his face.
"Your Majesty, you're overthinking it. I genuinely invited you to our state banquet with the utmost sincerity; I have no other intentions whatsoever."
Luwa quickly explained to Yang Xia, but in his heart he hated Yang Xia to the core and had already cursed him a thousand times.
Ruva is a truly terrifying and treacherous person; he says one thing to your face and does another behind your back. He wouldn't have acted this way if it weren't for today's plan.
Seeing that Luwa had already said so much, Yang Xia stopped talking and decided to stay for the time being.
"Yang Xia, your Great Zhou Kingdom is developing so fast! 5G phones are so popular, it's amazing."
"It would be a great honor for us to cooperate with the Great Zhou Kingdom. We hope you can give our country a chance."
……
Many business tycoons began to approach Yang Xia, hoping to cooperate with their countries; in other words, they wanted to get a share of the profits from Yang Xia.
Among these business tycoons, there were also some outstanding talents, which Yang Xia silently remembered.
Yang Xia directly rejected those who were of no use to him.
Cooperation is inherently a win-win situation. Those people want to get something for nothing, but Yang Xia isn't a fool; of course, he won't fall for their tricks.
"I'm sorry, our Great Zhou Kingdom is not planning to cooperate with other countries at the moment."
"I will contact you when I need to. Let's not bring up these matters at today's banquet."
Yang Xia told the people present directly that he did not want to be bothered by them anymore.
Hearing Yang Xia say this, these people finally quieted down and stopped jumping around Yang Xia, trying to cooperate with him.
"Yang Xia, let me toast you. Thank you so much for coming to our banquet today." Luwa quickly offered Yang Xia a toast.
Seeing Luwa's obsequious manner, Yang Xia showed great disdain.
If it weren't for showing off to others, I wouldn't even bother staying here.
Yang Xia was disgusted by Ruwa's previous actions. He knew Ruwa's true nature and wanted to stay away from this treacherous person.
But with so many people around, Luwa kept toasting him, and Yang Xia could only drink a few cups casually.
After all, Rue was the host today, and he couldn't refuse him.
Although there was a deep conflict between them, others were unaware of the details. Yang Xia also didn't want to be the subject of gossip.
The banquet was extremely difficult to conduct. Yang Xia had never encountered such a situation before, and it felt like an ordeal.
Before coming here, Yang Xia was somewhat resistant and didn't want to come.
But sometimes appearances have to be maintained, which is why I arrived at the banquet.
Luwa had anticipated this situation, which is why he extended an invitation to Yang Xia.
Seeing that Yang Xia had finally arrived at the banquet, even though he treated her with great disdain, made Luwa very happy.
Inviting Yang Xia to the banquet was just a pretext; all that mattered was achieving their own goals.
Therefore, no matter what Yang Xia does, Luwa won't care at all.
Throughout the banquet, Ruva remained consistently warm and attentive. Although Yang Xia felt disgusted, he could only continue to play along.
However, what Yang Xia found strange was that Luwa really didn't mention the cooperation to him again. Instead, the other people at the banquet kept trying to strike up a conversation with him.
Was I really overthinking things? Perhaps Ruva simply wanted to invite me to the banquet.
Yang Xia was somewhat aware of Luwa's cunning and treacherous nature. Perhaps he hadn't yet revealed his true colors, and it wouldn't be clear until the banquet ended.
Hopefully, Luwa will be sensible and not bring up the cooperation, otherwise Yang Xia will embarrass him in front of everyone.
Fortunately, Rue was sensible enough not to talk about anything other than offering toasts.
"Thank you all for coming to our Ivory Coast to support me today. Let me raise another glass to you all!"
Ruva stood on the stage and kept toasting everyone, creating a fairly lively atmosphere.
In situations like this, one has to give the Ivory Coast some face, no matter how much. Even though the Ivory Coast is declining and many people secretly despise Rue, they don't show it outwardly.
"I think that's enough, we should go." Yang Xia didn't want to stay any longer; this kind of occasion made him feel a bit tired, so he whispered to Meng Yu next to him.
“Your Majesty, I know you’ve long wanted to leave. We’ve already given the Ivory Kingdom enough face, and now it’s time for us to go.”
General Meng Yu could certainly understand Yang Xia's feelings. He disliked these kinds of occasions the most; they were all insincere and just polite formalities.
Seeing Yang Xia and Meng Yu turn and walk towards the door, Luwa quickly called Yang Xia back. His eyes were fixed on Yang Xia, trying to buy as much time as possible.
"Yang Xia, why are you in such a hurry to leave? My daughter wants to see you."
Luwa quickly blocked Yang Xia's path and called out his daughter, Du Ruo.
Everyone present then realized that Ruva actually had a daughter who was so beautiful that she looked like an angel, and they all cast admiring glances at her.
Yang Xia hadn't expected that he would be stopped by Lu Wa just as he was about to reach the door, and that Lu Wa would call out his beautiful daughter, Du Ruo. (End of Chapter)
