After hanging up the phone, Xayne briefly pondered the upcoming events.The next day, he met with Bren in Drakonix. As expected of the renowned iron-fisted diplomat, Bren's aura was formidable, even in the presence of Xayne."This time, our trip to the Union Conference is to seek reparations. This matter not only concerns the dignity of our fallen soldiers at the border but also the honor of Drakonia. If handled poorly, it will give others the impression that Drakonia is a weakling, subject to humiliation." Bren succinctly outlined the importance of this negotiation before leading his diplomatic team, along with Xayne, onto the plane.Xayne, donning the King of the North's mask, followed closely behind Bren as they disembarked and arrived at the Union Conference meeting room.Bren led the way, and they soon encountered the Pavona's diplomat, Locke, who seemed to be deliberately blocking their path. Upon seeing Bren, Locke approached with a malevolent glare."I was wondering who h
Bren deliberately brought up the previous war to elicit sympathy from the Western countries. As he participated in the negotiations, he already had confidence that the scales of victory would tip in his favor. He had thoroughly gathered evidence of Pavona's plans to invade Drakonia, making it impossible for anyone to side with Locke in the face of such evidence. Even Locke felt uneasy seeing all the evidence laid out against him.However, both Bren and Locke were astonished when the jury of judges unanimously sided with Pavona."Even though it was the other side's plan, the Northern Plains Army also invaded Pavona's territory and killed high-ranking officials. This is an undeniable fact," one of the judges stated."If you had convened this joint meeting immediately upon being persecuted, maybe we would have supported you. But now that you've drawn your sword against the other side, you are both victims and instigators of war. We can no longer support you," another judge added.
"King of the North?"The meeting room fell into an instant silence.Everyone present was stunned.The King of the North from Drakonia had appeared in the meeting room.He was the protector of the Northern Plains. He was the most elite soldier, Drakonia's strongest Supreme Commander, undefeated on battlefields for five years. He was a figure that inspired despair.Countless titles converged upon that young and tall figure.When Xayne stepped forward, everyone held their breath, not daring to even exhale."Both sides invaded each other's territories, and lives were lost on both sides. Yet, you believe we should compensate?" Xayne's eyes blazed with fury and coldness as he questioned the presiding judge.The judge couldn't meet Xayne's gaze and slumped in his seat, his forehead covered in cold sweat."Does this mean that the Northern Plains Army could launch a missile at your place, invade your territory, kill your people, and as long as my losses are greater than yours, you woul
Bren felt like he had lost all strength in his body, slumping into his seat.He hadn't expected that even calling Xayne wouldn't be able to reverse the situation. These people were determined to support Pavona and suppress Drakonia.Just as Bren felt extreme indignation, he saw Xayne still smiling."What are you smiling at? Is it so amusing to pay compensation to the other party?" Bren couldn't help but feel a surge of anger seeing Xayne laughing."No, I'm laughing at their arrogance. I'm laughing at their lack of understanding. I'm laughing at their hypocrisy." Xayne's voice was resolute."They talk about rules and principles, but they're manipulating them. Since they want to resolve this matter in an international conference, then let's resolve it their way." Xayne decisively stated."What do you mean?" Bren looked puzzled."You'll find out tomorrow," Xayne said, deliberately being mysterious.The next morning, just as Locke was preparing to return to Pavona, he suddenly rece
On the sidelines, Locke erupted in a frenzy of curses. "Three billion? Why don't you just rob us? We absolutely cannot agree to his demands. Judge, demand immediately that he return all the prisoners and compensate our country for its losses."The presiding judge glanced at Locke and then at Xayne, turning to discuss with the other jurors.In less than half an hour, they reached a conclusion."According to our rules, indeed you can ransom the prisoners of war with money. If you cannot afford three billion, then these prisoners will be left to the disposal of the Northern Plains Army of Drakonia."In the end, under the pressure brought by Xayne, the presiding judge chose to comply with Xayne's arrangement."What's going on? What kind of judge are you? Is there still any justice or law here? How can we possibly compensate three billion?" Locke shouted angrily at the presiding judge.Pavona was already so impoverished, scraping by with every resource available just to sustain their
Xayne single-handedly changed the course of an international conference. He was truly worthy of the title of the formidable King of the North."I merely wanted to contribute a little effort for Drakonia. Besides, this is also to avenge my six fallen brothers," Xayne said, his gaze flashing with cold determination."Strength, power, responsibility, courage, you possess them all. Do you know that you already have all the necessary qualities?" Bren asked."To become what? A legendary commander?" Xayne replied."No. To become my son-in-law." Bren chuckled."Mr. Bren, you're joking. I'm already married. Let's talk about something else," Xayne replied, feeling a bit speechless."Hahaha, you were just the invincible King of the North a moment ago. Why are you reacting like this now? Don't worry, I was just teasing you." Bren laughed.In truth, he did wish Xayne could become his son-in-law."I should quickly inform my subordinates of the good news." Xayne immediately pulled out his pho
Bren nodded emphatically, deeply agreeing. If a military unit lacked trust among its members and if the soldiers were unable to confidently trust their comrades with their backs, they couldn't utilize much of their true strength."All right, everything's over now. Let's head back," Bren said.Meanwhile, in a villa, several people dressed in suits sat together, hailing from different countries. If Xayne and Bren were present, they would recognize Locke and the judge among them."Judge, what exactly is going on? Before the conference, we agreed that you would help us secure the compensation. How come, later on, you sided with those damn Drakonians?" Locke said discontentedly."Don't you have any brains? Haven't you heard of Xayne's reputation? He's the King of the North of Drakonia and a demon to other countries. If you provoke him, he'll come at you like a mad dog," the judge said with a grim expression."So, what should we do? Are we just going to accept this loss passively? I can
"This is outrageous. What should we do?" Bren asked. Despite his wealth of diplomatic skills, was momentarily at a loss when faced with such a situation."No worries, you stay here. I'll go handle them," Xayne said, his senses fully alert. From behind a haystack, he had caught sight of the assailants.Silently sneaking up on the sniper, Xayne swiftly snapped his neck. The sniper couldn't fathom how Xayne had uncovered his disguise and stealthily approached from behind.After dispatching the sniper, other assailants noticed him and immediately opened fire with their machine guns."You're courting death," Xayne growled, effortlessly deflecting bullets with a knife he had picked up, slicing through them in mid-air.Brandishing the knife, Xayne boldly advanced toward the assassins."What's going on? How can he block bullets with his bare hands?" one of the assassins exclaimed in horror."The target is too tough, retreat!'' The leader of the assassins realized they couldn't handle Xa
