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

Anka felt a surge of dissatisfaction upon hearing Yang Xia's unwavering refusal.

But on the surface, he remained calm and hid all his emotions.

Seeing that the Great Zhou Dynasty was unwilling to cooperate with the Atlan Empire, Anka began to devise new ideas, racking his brains to find a backer for the Atlan Empire.

Anka then turned his attention to Yan Kingdom and secretly gave instructions to his assistant.

Without anyone knowing, he once again extended an olive branch to the Yan Kingdom.

After receiving the cooperation proposal from the Atlan Empire, Song Qitian, the leader of the Yan Kingdom, was filled with doubts.

He simply couldn't understand why the Atlantean Empire would suddenly propose such conditions and be so eager to cooperate.

After careful consideration, Song Qitian finally realized the truth and saw through the true intentions of Kasir of the Atlan Empire.

They realized it was all a trap. Agreeing to this cooperation would be tantamount to walking into a snare, inevitably bringing immense trouble to the Yan Kingdom in the future.

Song Qitian carefully examined Anka's assistant and said clearly, "I'm sorry, Yan Kingdom currently has no plans to cooperate with the Atlan Empire."

"Please return and report back. I hope the Atlantean Empire will no longer covet the Yan Kingdom. I am truly sorry."

Song Qitian's attitude was very firm, giving the Atlan Empire no chance whatsoever.

In order to cooperate with Yang Xia, Anka of the Atlan Empire and Liu Zhixiu, the leader of the Red Cake Kingdom, have been staying in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

They were doing their utmost to fight for their country's interests, and Yang Xia found their tireless efforts utterly laughable.

They each used their own methods to try and persuade Yang Xia. Yang Xia observed their various tricks with a cold eye and had already seen through their intentions.

When Anka of the Atlan Empire encountered Yoo Ji-soo of the Red Cake Kingdom in the palace, the two immediately clashed.

The failure to reach an agreement with Yang Xia had already left them dissatisfied.

Now, seeing the person they least wanted to see only worsened their mood.

When Liu Zhixiu saw Anka, a mocking look appeared on her face, and she swaggered up to Anka.

“Anka… what are you doing here? Ah… if I’m not mistaken, Cassirer sent you.”

"He's quite adept at picking his timing, trying to curry favor with the Great Zhou Dynasty at this time. But he'll definitely disappoint you."

Anka burst into laughter upon hearing Liu Zhixiu's words, and retorted rudely:

"Chief...you're just blaming the pot calling the kettle black. Then can you tell me why you've appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"Could it be that you're here for sightseeing? That's ridiculous. I hope you'll reflect on yourself before you speak, and not judge others by your own petty standards."

"My Atlan Empire acts with integrity and honesty, unlike the Red Cake Kingdom, which only resorts to underhanded tactics and thinks it's clever. I really don't know what face you have to stand here."

Anka and Yoo Ji-soo exchanged sarcastic remarks, showing no mercy to each other.

They wished the other person would disappear from their sight immediately, never to reappear.

Yang Xia found it quite amusing to watch Anka and Liu Zhixiu bickering, so he watched the battle with great interest.

He wanted to see how the two would ultimately resolve this, and how far they could escalate their conflict in front of everyone.

Anka and Liu Zhixiu saw that Yang Xia was unyielding and refused to cooperate with them no matter what conditions they proposed.

They weren't even given a chance, leaving the two of them anxious and disappointed.

After much deliberation, they once again set their sights on Yu Meiren.

Anka and Liu Zhixiu know Yu Meiren quite well and know that she is kind-hearted and might be able to help.

Moreover, Yu Meiren holds a certain place in Yang Xia's heart, and if she were to intercede on his behalf, Yang Xia might consider it.

They even gave them a chance. So, Anka and Yoo Ji-soo worked tirelessly to prepare numerous gifts for Yu Meiren.

To attract the attention of the poppy, they offered gifts and treasures, behaving exceptionally attentive.

When Yu Meiren saw these gifts, she was truly shocked and found them hard to accept.

"Oh my god...Are Anka and Yoo Jisoo crazy? They actually set their sights on me."

"To expect me to plead for them before His Majesty, or even grant their request, is going too far."

"No... I have to tell Yang Xia about this. I can't let them have such thoughts. If they ruin His Majesty's plans, that would be terrible."

Yu Meiren was very clever and quickly figured out the key point.

She looked at the gifts helplessly. When Yang Xia learned of this, he was quite surprised.

"What...they came to see you? And they even brought gifts? Are those two crazy?"

"It seems they'll stop at nothing to seize this opportunity. Trying to get you to act as their mouthpiece is utterly absurd."

"Return these things immediately. We must not give them any opportunity to take advantage of us. This concerns the rise and fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and no one can bear this responsibility."

Yu Meiren listened to Yang Xia's words and wholeheartedly agreed with his opinion.

So he ordered his men to return the gifts intact.

Anka and Yoo Ji-soo were at a loss when their gifts were returned.

This also angered them. They had been holding onto a last glimmer of hope, but now they were about to be completely disappointed.

Yang Xia was also quite angry about this. He found Anka and Liu Zhixiu and said in a firm tone:

“Chief… Anka, you two listen up. If you want to cause trouble, I advise you to return to your own territory as soon as possible.”

"Do not linger in the Great Zhou Dynasty any longer. If a similar incident occurs again, do not blame me for turning ruthless. Please remember what I said today and restrain your behavior."

Under Yang Xia's stern warning, Anka and Liu Zhixiu finally calmed down, and the situation gradually subsided...

Yang Xia was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief; the recent series of events had indeed left him feeling exhausted.

Yang Xia sat quietly and pondered, carefully considering all the circumstances. He decided that he should start a live broadcast to clarify everything to everyone.

He hopes to gain the understanding of his fans and does not want to continue to endure their accusations and insults.

After much deliberation, Yang Xia restarted his live stream.

When the fans saw Yang Xia appear, their emotions were not high.

[Your Majesty... How is the situation in Yan Kingdom lately? After all these events, what explanation do you intend to give to your fans?]

Everyone is waiting for an explanation from you. Are you going to disappoint them time and time again?

These are your family members who have always supported you. Shouldn't you get a clear explanation? This truly breaks our hearts.

Hearing these words from his fans, Yang Xia felt very sad and conflicted.

With a worried expression, Yang Xia took a deep breath and explained to his fans:
"Family members... I'm so sorry, so many things have happened recently, and it was all out of necessity."

"In fact, the relationship between Yan Kingdom and Yan Kingdom has never changed. All of this is just an act by us, just to find out the mastermind behind it all."

"Since the last time a hater appeared in the live broadcast room, a lot of things have happened in a row. There have been people trying to sow discord between Yan and Yan countries."

"I resorted to this desperate measure in order to find out the truth. I hope everyone can distinguish right from wrong and stop listening to slander."

Yang Xia was very sincere in clarifying the matter during the live stream, hoping to reveal the truth. He also stated that the two countries still maintain friendly relations.

However, to Yang Xia's surprise, despite his best efforts to explain the situation, the live stream was still filled with insults.

The fans simply wouldn't forgive his behavior, leaving Yang Xia feeling helpless.

【Your Majesty... please stop spouting nonsense. Do you really think your fans are so easily fooled? We will never believe you again; you have truly disappointed us.】

Your behavior shows a complete disregard for your fans and a sole focus on your own interests.

Now you claim to have friendly relations with Yan, are we supposed to believe your one-sided story? We will never give you another chance to deceive us.

Yes...we will never believe again. There must be something we don't know about this. We will never be fooled by your wavering behavior again.

Yang Xia was at a loss for words when he saw how his fans doubted him.

At this moment, Yang Xia thought of Sun Zhengming of Yan State, which gave him a sudden inspiration.

He quickly invited Sun Zhengming to appear in the live broadcast room so that fans could witness the event firsthand.

“I know you don’t believe me, but I can ask Lord Sun to come and prove whether what I’m saying is true or false.”

"If the relationship between Yan and Yan has truly changed, why is Lord Sun still staying in Yan?"

"This was all a scheme of ours, just to gain their trust so that the mastermind behind it all could be exposed?"

After Sun Zhengming appeared, the fans finally chose to believe Yang Xia, and the atmosphere in the live stream gradually improved.

Yang Xia felt it was really difficult. Fortunately, Sun Zhengming was there, otherwise he would have been speechless this time.

While Yang Xia was chatting with his fans, he noticed that the person with the black avatar in the live stream had reappeared.

He even tried to sow discord in the live stream, saying many things that were detrimental to Yang Xia.

This infuriated Yang Xia, who had always been curious about the identity of the person with the black portrait.

Sun Zhengming was also quite curious. He had investigated it, but had never found any clues.

Yang Xia turned to look at Meng Yu behind him and whispered in his ear:

"Please help me find out this person's identity as soon as possible, where he comes from, and why he keeps talking nonsense in the live broadcast room."

"It seems his purpose is not simple. We must not give up until we find out his identity."

After receiving the order, Meng Yu nodded silently and began to secretly investigate the other party's identity.

After Meng Yu's thorough investigation, the results surprised him quite a bit.

Because the address of this black-faced figure was actually in the Nebula Kingdom. After Meng Yu found out the address of the black-faced figure for Yang Xia, everyone finally realized...

Meng Yu said helplessly to Yang Xia, "Your Majesty... I never expected that the culprit would be the Xingyun Kingdom."

"No wonder we had no clue before. Now that the truth is out, what are your plans next?"

"I really can't understand what they're trying to do? Why would they resort to such methods? It's utterly despicable and shameless."

Upon hearing Meng Yu's words, Yang Xia revealed a mysterious smile.

That smile looked rather eerie. After the culprit surfaced, Yang Xia already had a plan in mind.

Seeing Yang Xia's expression, Meng Yu couldn't help but become curious and wanted to know Yang Xia's next plan.

Yang Xia pondered carefully for a moment, then looked up and instructed Meng Yu:

"By the way... could you help me contact Sophie in Nebula Kingdom? I'd like to meet with her."

"I hope he can visit Yan. The sooner the better. You should make the arrangements quickly."

Meng Yu was completely baffled by Yang Xia's instructions and wondered what Yang Xia intended to do.

This immediately piqued Meng Yu's curiosity. After thinking it over carefully, he finally mustered up the courage to ask:
"Your Majesty...why did you contact Sophie and even send him to our Yan Kingdom? I really don't understand."

Seeing Meng Yu's puzzled expression, Yang Xia decided not to hide anything after hearing his question.

"Hahaha……"

He burst into laughter, then mysteriously said to Meng Yu:
“It didn’t mean anything special. I just wanted to tease him and see how Sophie would react.”

"I just want to see his reaction when he finds out."

After hearing Yang Xia's explanation, Meng Yu suddenly understood, and an expectant smile appeared on his face.

He even admired Yang Xia greatly, for he could come up with such a move at this crucial moment.

Meng Yu gladly accepted the order and went to contact Su Fei as Yang Xia instructed.

When Meng Yu conveyed Yang Xia's message to Su Fei, Su Fei was overjoyed and agreed to Meng Yu's request without hesitation.

Three days later, Sophie arrived as promised, looking very confident.

He arrogantly believed that Yang Xia had lost the support of the Yan Kingdom and that the Yan Kingdom was now isolated and helpless.

That's why she contacted him at this time. Sophie arrived at the main hall excitedly and met Yang Xia as she had hoped.

Seeing Su Fei's self-righteous attitude, Yang Xia couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"Lady Sophie... I didn't expect you to arrive in Yan Kingdom so soon. On behalf of Yan Kingdom, I welcome you."

Seeing how polite Yang Xia was to her, Sophie became even more convinced of her own presumptuous thoughts.

"Hahaha……"

Sophie burst into laughter, looking at Yang Xia with excited eyes.

"Your Majesty... I wonder what important matter you have invited me to Yan Kingdom to discuss?"

Seeing that Su Fei was already impatient, Yang Xia decided to tease her properly.

Yang Xia slowly walked up to Su Fei, lowered his head and whispered in her ear:

"Lady Sophie...why do you ask when you already know the answer? I believe you have already guessed the purpose of my invitation to come here."

"Let's be frank and speak openly, without beating around the bush, don't you think..."

Sophie observed Yang Xia's expression and couldn't help but feel excited.

"Your Majesty... you are truly wise. That Yan Kingdom is far too unreliable. It seems you are finally willing to cooperate with the Xingyun Kingdom."

"This is a very wise choice. As long as you cooperate with the Nebula Kingdom, we can then make all countries submit to us."

Yang Xia had already seen through Su Fei's scheme when he heard her thoughts.

He knew that Sophie had already planned the cooperation blueprint, but she just wanted to take advantage of Yan Kingdom's help and support to Nebula Kingdom.

Try to eliminate all the countries, and then find a way to get rid of the Yan Kingdom, so that the Xingyun Kingdom can dominate the world.

Yang Xia watched Sophie chattering on and on and found it utterly ridiculous.

Yang Xia sneered, thinking to himself, "Sophie, oh Sophie... keep dreaming. Do you really think I don't know your schemes and plots?" (End of Chapter)
