Chapter 173: The Unpredictable (Part 4)
A super weak boss, but wearing such a set of superb equipment, no one can stand this temptation. Confused, Ruan Chi almost really wanted to blow up this old man directly.
However, after a round of careful consideration, Ruan Chi finally gave up with tears in his eyes. He knew the consequences of killing the Prime Minister of the Free Federation in front of everyone, and it didn't matter if he had a system to protect him, but in the envoy group, Rachel and Betty would definitely be implicated, and Ruan Chi would naturally not come nonsense if he was not sure to protect them.
It's a pity that such a superb old man can only watch but can't explode, it's a pity.
If someone knew that Ruan Chi really wanted to kill Ron for a moment, it was estimated that they would be completely crazy, but fortunately everyone didn't know, so in Ruan Chi's heart, the time that it was a pity was actually just a few seconds that passed in a hurry.
However, Ron noticed that Ruan Chi's gaze was a little strange when he looked at him, and asked curiously: "Your Excellency, is there anything on the old man's face that deserves such attention from His Excellency the Envoy?" β
Surprised that he was staring at an old man for a long time, Ruan Chi hurriedly withdrew his gaze and said, "I see that you look energetic, you don't look like a 93-year-old man, so I'm a little curious about how you maintain the old man." β
Guldia and Elena of the envoys below heard Ruan Chi repeatedly calling the Prime Minister of the Free Federation an "old man", and they couldn't bear to look at him directly, so they both covered their faces and turned away, trying to see out of sight.
Ron didn't mind what Ruan Chi called him, and said with a smile: "How do you know that the old man is 93 years old?" β
"Your information says ......" Ruan Chi was halfway through his speech, remembering that this was inappropriate, so he changed his words: "As a representative of this envoy group." Naturally, I did my research beforehand. Besides, old man, you seem to be quite famous, right? It's still easy to inquire about age. β
Ron smiled. Didn't care.
β¦β¦
After the banquet that night, the envoys were arranged to check in to the west courtyard of the Freedom Court, and as soon as they arrived, Gulydia and Elena pulled Ruan Chi aside to talk.
"Your Excellency, do you know how important this banquet is tonight? Why so rash? Guldia spoke in a tone that was distinctly reproachful.
"Imprudent? Where is it impruceous? Ruan Chi asked with a pretending unknowing expression.
"Although the Platinum Consortium has been secretly instructed by the Free Federation to send slave hunters to commit many crimes, even if this matter is a fact, it is still not appropriate to be provocative in diplomatic situations, and as soon as Your Excellency opened your mouth, the Free Federation was pushed to the forefront. It's the same as putting us in a dangerous place, and don't forget, we're still on someone else's turf. Elena said in a cold tone.
"Are you afraid?" Ruan Chi asked lightly.
"Of course we're not afraid." Elena said proudly.
"If you're not afraid, why be tied? Sooner or later, do you have to wait until later? Ruan Chi said indifferently.
"Your Excellency, although your words are reasonable, but this time we are not sending the Terrans to fight against the Free Federation, but to use diplomatic means to curb the evil deeds of the Platinum Consortium slave catchers, which is the main purpose of our mission......," Guldia said with a wry smile.
"Nope. It's you guys who make the mistake. Ruan Chi suddenly interrupted Guldia's speech, and said with a stern expression: "Because I never thought of talking well to the Free Federation. β
"Your Excellency. What do you mean by that? Gulydia asked.
"As far as I know, the Fourth Battle for the Throne seems to be a little over a year away, right? Elves and Terrans are also mortal enemies, so after all, the two sides will have to fight sooner or later, right? The Platinum Consortium is also the minions of the Free Federation, and it is necessary to negotiate with them to contain them, so why not just pull them all out? β
When Gulydia and Elena heard Ruan Chi's words, they glanced at each other, and they both saw the stunned and shocked in each other's eyes, although they had heard that Ruan Chi, the new elven king, had made an agreement with the elven elders to uproot the platinum consortium in three months, but most of the elves, including the two of them, thought that it was just a joke and that it was impossible to achieve it at all.
But judging from the tone and serious expression of Ruan Chi's speech just now, they seemed to feel that Ruan Chi was not joking, on the contrary, that serious and resolute attitude shocked them.
"I'm not going to negotiate the second time tomorrow." When the two of them were shocked, Ruan Chi suddenly dropped such a sentence again.
"Your Excellency does not intend to continue negotiations with the Federal Prime Minister?" Elena asked.
"Yes, it's okay to let Sister Guldia do the negotiation, anyway, I don't know anything about diplomacy." Ruan Chi shrugged, and then looked at the female diplomat with a stern expression, "But eldest sister, I have to give you a task in the next negotiations, in addition to maintaining a tough attitude in the position, we must also try to get two things back for our envoys." β
"Two things?" Guldia was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, please say, if possible, I will try my best." β
"First, ask the Federation to promise to help you recover all the elven compatriots captured by the captured slave team, and second, ask the Federation to promise to unconditionally assist us in the investigation of the Platinum Consortium, note that we only ask them to assist in the investigation, not a crusade, I believe that they will not refuse this point of Cheng DΓΉ's assistance."
Guldia nodded frequently when she heard this, indeed, if this was to assist in the investigation, the Federation should not refuse. However, for the first point, Gulydia didn't understand a little, and asked: "Your Excellency, it is certainly a good thing for us to find those elven compatriots who have been captured by the slave team, but in the past three or four years, there have been eight hundred of the missing compatriots, and it is too difficult for them to find everyone, can they agree?" β
"Whether you agree or not depends on your diplomatic skills, eldest sister, remember, this is very important, because it directly determines the remaining time that our envoys can stay here." Ruan Chi said pointedly.
Guldia's eyes lit up, as if she understood what Ruan Chi meant, and said excitedly: "I understand, Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will handle this matter." β

On the other side, Ron returned to his study after the banquet and called Duncan and Cohens, the two ten-fingered knights of the Bloody Hand Knights on duty, to come over.
"You said that the black-haired boy of the envoys is that imp of the Titans?" Ron heard Duncan's report, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, I'm sorry to report to you now." Duncan bent over with his hands on his chest.
"This little imp is very weird, he caused a lot of trouble for Duncan in the Forgotten Country earlier, and he hasn't seen him for a while, and he actually became the elven king of the elven race." Cohens laughed.
Ron half-squinted, his palm casually placed on his thigh and patted, half-ranging, he opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, "Interesting, this is the second person the old man has ever met that cannot be predicted." β
"Could it be that Your Excellency has already foreseen this person with the Great Prophecy of the Spiritual Cloister?" Duncan and Cohens lost their voices at the same time.
"Yes." Ron got up from his chair, walked to the window and looked at the dark night sky outside, and muttered, "Before the envoys stepped into the Court of Freedom, the old man had predicted that the result would fail, and this is the second time...... The old man vaguely remembered that the first time he failed, it was the legendary knight king......"
