The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

Yang Xia was very satisfied with Meng Yin's attitude and trusted his ability to handle affairs, so he entrusted him with the important task of being an envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Yang Xia was also very at ease.

Yang Xia was also filled with curiosity; he wanted to know what the current situation was like in the Red Cake Kingdom.

Would that arrogant and conceited commander, Okada, commit seppuku at this moment to demonstrate his loyalty to the Red Cake Nation?

At that very moment, Okada, the commander of the Red Cake Kingdom, led his remaining troops back in a disheveled state.

He went to pay his respects to Akagi-kun, the leader of the Red Cake Kingdom, with great fear and trepidation. Akagi-kun saw Okada's disheveled appearance.

Enraged, he glared at Okada and roared, "Okada-kun... can you explain this to me? Is this the result of your solemn promise?"

"Weren't you so confident that you could stop the Chinese fleet? But look what happened... how did things turn out like this?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to turn the tide? Look at the state you've put Red Cake Country in! You're such a fool, you shouldn't even be alive."

"Now that such serious consequences have occurred, tell me, how do you plan to take responsibility?"

Commander Okada was speechless when he heard Akagi's rebuke.

His face turned bright red, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to disappear.

Amidst Akagi's reprimands, Okada meekly replied, "Boss... everything that happened today was truly unexpected."

"I never expected the Chinese fleet to be so formidable; the entire fleet was as solid as a rock."

"Our Red Cake Kingdom's fleet was completely unable to cope and could only watch helplessly as they charged at us time and time again."

“Our Red Cake Kingdom has a large fleet, but the Chinese fleet just charged around recklessly, catching us all off guard.”

When Akagi, the leader of the Red Cake Kingdom, heard Okada's explanation, he found it absurd and laughable.

"Hahaha……"

Akagi burst into laughter, looking at Okada with a mocking expression, and said through gritted teeth, "You still have the nerve to talk like that? With so many ships from the Red Cake Kingdom, you couldn't even stop the Chinese fleet from leaving."

"Where does this leave Red Cake Country's reputation? I'm starting to doubt your competence."

When Okada heard Akagi's angry rebuke, he was so frightened that he dared not say a word, for fear of losing his life by saying the wrong thing.

He could only report the situation truthfully to Akagi-kun, hoping to gain Akagi-kun's understanding.

No one wanted to see this outcome, but it has already happened, and it's too late to undo it.

The leader of the Red Cake Kingdom, Akagi-kun, pondered the matter carefully, sensing that troubles would soon follow.

Akagi-kun said angrily to Okada, "You idiot, do you even know how much trouble you've caused the Red Cake Kingdom?"

"Originally, our Red Cake Kingdom could have tried its best to remain neutral and avoid provoking any country other than the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Now look what's happened, you've even offended the Chinese fleet. This mysterious country is a big problem for us."

"I reckon things aren't going to be easy for Red Cake Country from now on. You have to give them an explanation for what happened today."

"Iron King Akagi said angrily, showing Okada the cruel reality before him."

Okada knew he had made a big mistake and had intended to threaten China into cooperating with Red Cake Country.

They tried to stop them from spreading news of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but unexpectedly, they got themselves into trouble.

Okada felt extremely helpless, as he believed that he was doing all of this for the future of Red Cake Country.

But now that something has happened, Akagi-kun has been scolding him repeatedly, which makes him feel very bad, but he doesn't dare to argue back.

Okada gave a wry smile and said helplessly to Akagi, "Chief... I, Okada, am willing to accept any punishment for the serious losses caused to the Red Cake Kingdom this time."

"No matter what Akagi-kun asks me to do, I will not utter a single complaint."

"I take responsibility for my own mistakes; it's my duty."

Akagi glared at Okada, clearly disappointed in him.

But Okada has caused such serious consequences that he must deal with this matter, otherwise countless eyes will be watching them.

Akagi glanced at Okada, then turned to his men and ordered, "Men... take Okada away and await further instructions."

Just as Akagi was about to have Okada taken away and dealt with, a soldier suddenly rushed in in a panic.

"Chief... A man from the Great Zhou Dynasty has come outside. He says he is an envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty and wants to see you."

"I wonder what the leader's orders are? He has been waiting outside for quite some time."

Both Akagi and Okada were taken aback by these words.

"What... an envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty? What is he doing here?" Akagi asked Okada with a puzzled look.

Okada slowly shook his head: "I don't know... Coming to the Red Cake Country at this time can't be anything good."

As soon as Mengyin arrived in the Red Cake Kingdom, he was stopped by the guards outside the main hall.

This made him extremely unhappy, but he could only wait patiently.

After a long while, Mengyin finally received a summons from Akagi-kun, the leader of the Red Cake Kingdom.

Meng Yin stormed into the main hall of the Red Cake Kingdom and finally met Akagi-kun.

Meng Yin didn't mince words, raising his eyes to look at Chi Mu Jun and saying, "Chief, I have come here today on the orders of the King of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

“A few days ago, we rescued some crew members at sea and temporarily housed them in the Great Zhou Dynasty.”

"These crew members are all from your country. The King of my Great Zhou Dynasty was benevolent and saved them. Now, we ask your country to find a way to bring them back."

Meng Yin's attitude was firm, directly conveying the instructions and demands of Yang Xia of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Upon hearing Meng Yin's words, the leader of the Red Cake Kingdom, Akagi-kun, was startled and momentarily at a loss for words.

He frowned and stared at Mengyin with an unfriendly look.

"Humph……"

Meng Yin sneered, his gaze fixed on Akagi-kun, and said, "By the way, there's one more thing I need to remind you of."

"Your Red Cake Kingdom had better stop opposing the Great Zhou Dynasty time and again. The Great Zhou Dynasty is wholeheartedly pursuing peace and prosperity."

"Instead of stirring up trouble everywhere, if you remain obstinate, don't blame the Great Zhou Dynasty for showing no mercy."

"I have already made my point clear today, so I will not say any more. I hope that Your Majesty will give this matter a good consideration and make a good plan for the future development of the Red Cake Kingdom."

Meng Yin looked smug and confident, determined not to lose the dignity of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even though the leader of Red Cake Kingdom was being rude to him today, he showed no fear.

After hearing Mengyin's reminder, Akagi-kun, the leader of the Red Cake Kingdom, also sneered.

He slowly exhaled and walked step by step to Mengyin.

He looked Mengyin up and down and sneered, "Pursuing a peaceful and prosperous world, that's a nice way to put it."

"Do you know that in recent years the Great Zhou Dynasty has developed rapidly, which has seriously affected the development of the three neighboring countries: the Atlan Empire, the Red Cake Country, and India?"

"If we allow you to continue growing stronger, who knows if the Great Zhou Dynasty might suddenly turn against us in the future?" "If they then try to annex our countries, how should we respond?"

"Please go back and tell your king that our Red Cake Kingdom has no intention of causing trouble. We are only doing this to protect ourselves."

"I'm telling you this so you should understand that we must find a balance among the four countries."

“Otherwise, the struggle for survival in the cracks would be a huge threat to us, and I will never allow the Red Cake Kingdom to compromise in this way.”

Upon hearing Akagi-kun's words, Mengyin finally understood his thoughts and intentions.

This struck him as utterly ridiculous; how could the head of a nation have such thoughts?

It's utterly ridiculous that someone who's constantly causing trouble can speak so righteously.

Meng Yin looked up at Akagi-kun with a strange gaze and questioned him in a mocking tone:
“Akagi-kun, I’d like to ask you about your so-called self-preservation.”

"Does that mean we just leave our boats anchored in the middle of the sea and let others ram them?"

"As the leader of the Red Cake Kingdom, this idea is really hard to accept. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by your people if you say it out loud?"

"Aren't the things that have happened recently enough to teach you a lesson? I really admire you; the situation is so bad, and you're still spouting nonsense here."

"Do you think they won't hold your actions against the Chinese fleet this time? You seriously underestimate the Chinese fleet."

Mengyin spoke with great conviction, wanting to see how Akagi-kun, the leader of the Red Cake Kingdom, would react.

Akagi-kun naturally understood that Mengyin's words were sarcastic and mocking.

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and his face turned ashen, but he was also somewhat helpless in the face of Meng Yin.

Because everything Mengyin said was true, he wanted to refute it but couldn't find any reason to do so.

Seeing that Akagi-kun's face was ashen, Mengyin burst into laughter: "What, did I hit the nail on the head? Are you angry now?"

"I must remind you, in times of war, envoys are not to be killed, especially since we have not yet had a direct confrontation."

"You should show some respect to me, your envoy."

Akagi-kun was rendered speechless by Mengyin's retort, and could only swallow his bitterness, which Mengyin found quite amusing.

Seeing the Red Cake Kingdom leader's appearance, Meng Yin was too lazy to waste any more words or time arguing with these people.

He looked at Akagi-kun, the leader of the Red Cake Kingdom, with disdain and said, "I have said all I need to say. This is the decree of the King of our Great Zhou Dynasty."

"By the way, if your Red Cake Kingdom people don't go to the Great Zhou Dynasty to pick up people within three days..."

"Then let me tell you clearly, since we can rescue these people from the sea, we can also throw them back into the sea."

"After all, our Great Zhou Dynasty won't bother with dogs that bite randomly. Do you understand what I mean?"

After saying this, Meng Yin looked smug and gave the leader of the Red Cake Kingdom, Akagi-kun, a look of utter disdain and mockery.

He also gave a cold glare to Okada, the commander of the Red Cake Country, who had remained silent the whole time.

At this moment, Okada stood aside, silent and unable to utter a single word.

He knew in his heart that he was the one who had caused all this trouble. His inability to defeat the Chinese fleet had brought this mess upon him and disgraced the Red Cake Kingdom. He felt utterly ashamed and wanted to disappear.

"Humph……"

Meng Yin sneered and turned to leave. The leader of the Red Cake Kingdom, Akagi-kun, watched Meng Yin's departing figure, trembling with rage, his cheeks flushed red, glaring angrily at the ashamed Okada.

Enraged, Akagi walked up to Okada, gritting his teeth. He wanted to teach Okada a lesson, but he didn't know where to begin.

"Clap clap..."

With a series of crisp sounds, Okada was slapped hard across the face by Akagi-kun several times.

Akagi vented his anger in this way, his whole body raging and unable to contain his fury.

Akagi-kun glared angrily at Okada and roared, "Look what you've done! Did you see that? The Red Cake Kingdom has suffered such a huge humiliation this time. It's utterly shameful!"

"How am I supposed to establish my Red Cake Kingdom after this? I was rendered speechless by their retort. Where do I put my face now?"

"You bastard, you're a complete waste, utterly useless!"

"If this gets out, the impact will be extremely bad, and the fighting strength of Red Cake Country will be seriously underestimated."

"This chain reaction is terrifying. In the end, even India, which is the worst-performing country among several countries, may look down on us."

"You've really brought glory to the Red Cake Country, making us forever unable to hold our heads high. You're truly 'glorious'!"

Akagi-kun's sarcastic remarks to Okada were like sharp blades, deeply wounding Okada's heart.

Okada was also very saddened, as this outcome was far beyond what he had anticipated.

Even if he regrets it now, it's too late. He can't accept this outcome, but he can only face reality.

Okada was speechless, only lowering his head in shame as he let Akagi scold him.

However, this humiliation deeply wounded Okada's heart.

He looked at Akagi-kun with a look of despair and said, "Boss, I'm so sorry, I deserve to die."

"I overestimated my abilities and underestimated the enemy, which caused such a great loss to the Red Cake Kingdom."

"I am willing to atone with my death to show my loyalty to the Red Cake Kingdom. I hope that Your Majesty will grant my request."

Upon hearing Okada's words, Akagi suddenly burst into laughter.

He looked extremely distressed, as if this incident had deeply affected him.

Although he hated Okada for bringing such great humiliation to the Red Cake Country, he felt that it would be meaningless to let Okada die.

Seeing Akagi's reaction, Okada lowered his head in shame.

After thinking it over carefully, Akagi sighed helplessly and said, "Okada, what value do you think your death would bring?"

"I can give you a chance to redeem yourself; you'd better seize it."

"If you mess this up again, I really won't be able to forgive you."

Akagi's sudden change in attitude surprised Okada. He hadn't expected Akagi to give him this opportunity.

For a moment, Okada was at a loss, standing there dumbfounded, staring intently at Akagi-kun.

After a long while, Okada looked at Akagi with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Boss, for giving me this opportunity to redeem myself."

"I will definitely hold on tight and do everything I can to serve the Red Cake Nation."

"I have realized the mistakes and shortcomings I made this time, and I will definitely correct them and do better in the future."

Akagi nodded helplessly; his mind was truly in turmoil.

In order to further dismantle the three-nation alliance led by the Atlan Empire, Yang Xia had given it much thought.

He silently devised a plan, intending to manipulate the puppet again and send it to meet Jimmy from India. (End of Chapter)
