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

Yoo Ji-soo and Cahill exchanged glances, then simply nodded slightly without saying a word.

They temporarily put aside their hateful gazes towards Yang Xia and drank the wedding wine in front of them.

Yang Xia naturally knew that these two guys were particularly unhappy, but he didn't care at all. After all, it was his big day, and he wanted everyone in the world to drink a cup of his wedding wine.

"Please enjoy your meal."

After greeting them, Yang Xia went to greet the other guests. Today's grand wedding was attended by many well-wishers.

People from the Great Zhou Dynasty came in droves to offer their congratulations, not to mention the representatives from neighboring countries.

While Yang Xia was attending to other guests, Liu Zhixiu and Cahill sat down facing each other.

On the surface, they appeared to be attending a wedding banquet, but in reality, the two had already begun plotting their escape.

Are you willing to spend your life as a prisoner in the Great Zhou Kingdom?

"Your Red Cake Kingdom has disappeared from the earth. If you really have nowhere to go, just follow me. I will not treat you badly and I guarantee that you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."

Cahill brought up the topic, and Yoo Ji-soo immediately gave a cold laugh.

"You're no better than anyone else, so let's not make fun of each other."

“Of course I don’t want to stay here. If I escape one day, I will definitely find a way to make a comeback and kill Yang Xia myself in the future.”

Yoo Ji-soo maintained her previous arrogance and did not want to be ridiculed by Cahill.

"Cough cough..."

"Speaking of which, we share the same goal and are determined to escape. The Great Zhou Dynasty's guards are usually quite tight, but today might be a good opportunity."

Cahill felt a little embarrassed, not expecting that even in her current state, Yoo Ji-soo still had such an arrogant attitude.

However, this kind of person was exactly what he needed to use. His eyes were filled with murderous intent and he hated Yang Xia intensely. Cahill needed someone like this.

"That's right, today is indeed a good opportunity, and the defense in all aspects should be much looser than usual."

Liu Zhixiu glanced around furtively, also thinking of a way to escape.

Just as the two were secretly plotting, someone suddenly tapped them on the back, scaring them out of their wits.

Turning their heads, they saw a stranger, about thirty years old, smiling at them.

"Hello, my name is Ram. I heard what you were talking about."

"To be honest, I can be of great help to you."

The man began to introduce himself, scaring Yoo Ji-soo and Cahill half to death. Judging from his tone, he must have known about their escape plan.

Unexpectedly, the plot was overheard just as it began.

It's all their fault for being so careless. As they chatted, they huddled together, forgetting everything around them, and that's how they were overheard.

"Who exactly are you? Tell me everything right now!"...

Yoo Ji-soo and Cahill nervously questioned Ram about his identity, but he just smiled and didn't answer their questions.

"Liu Zhixiu, you are now like a stray dog. Your country has disappeared into the vast sea. What right do you have to negotiate with me!"

"You'll only have a chance to make a comeback if you obediently cooperate with my actions. Don't you want revenge? Without my help, you're nothing!"

Ram's tone was incredibly domineering, and he gave Liu Zhixiu a thorough scolding, leaving Liu Zhixiu completely bewildered, wondering why the other party was so arrogant.

“Cahill, your Atlantean Empire, though not yet completely destroyed, is now completely under your control. It won’t be long before it suffers the same fate. You have no right to negotiate with me.”

Ram then spoke dismissively to Cahill beside him, saying that the two people in front of him were nothing in his eyes.

"What exactly do you want? You didn't come here just to belittle us!"

Seeing Ram's aggressive attitude, Yoo Ji-soo and Cahill were both very unhappy.

Back then, they were all high-ranking figures; when had they ever suffered such humiliation?

"As I just said, I am here to help you with all my heart."

"Please don't think my words were harsh; these are just the facts. I hope you can recognize reality. Cooperating with me is the only way out."

After belittling the two men, Ram continued talking about the collaboration, and their attitude made them extremely unhappy.

"I'll give you some time to consider. I hope you'll agree as soon as possible, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Ram's tone remained assertive, but he believed that the two men in front of him would not let go of such a good opportunity. They had no way out and had to cooperate with him to take a chance.

After hearing what Ram said, Yoo Ji-soo and Cahill also fell into deep thought, realizing that what the other said made some sense.

They definitely need a capable person to work with right now in order to better complete their subsequent plans.

However, when they looked at Ram in front of them, they had no idea who he was.

We don't know if the other party really has that much ability. If we encounter a boastful guy, we'll be disappointed and might even expose their plans.

Yoo Ji-soo and Cahill were no ordinary people; their cunning far surpassed that of many others.

While they desperately need a collaborator, they also need to be selective, ensuring that the other party is not incompetent before they are worth collaborating with.

"I agree to cooperate with you secretly, but there's a condition."

Liu Zhixiu's eyes darted around, and she actually brought up conditions with Lamu.

"What other conditions do you want? I'm here to help you."

Ram was slightly surprised, not expecting that Yoo Ji-soo was indeed incredibly cunning and wouldn't easily trust her.

“You must demonstrate to us that you have that kind of power before we will cooperate with you; otherwise, all this talk is pointless.”

Liu Zhixiu bluntly stated her conditions, wanting to test Lum's abilities.

"How do you demonstrate it? I certainly have the ability to help you."

Ram didn't expect that they had thought of everything so thoroughly, and at this critical juncture, they didn't forget to test him.

"If you can find us both a suitable weapon within half an hour, then you've passed the test."

Cahill quickly spoke up as well, both of them wanting to test whether Ram actually had any power.

"So this is the test? It's a piece of cake for me. Just you wait and see."

When Ram heard the two men make this condition, he smiled faintly and immediately agreed.

After agreeing, Ram walked off to another location, while Yoo Ji-soo and Cahill stayed where they were and waited.

"Do you think this Ram is reliable? Who exactly is he?"

After seeing Ram leave, Cahill couldn't help but start gossiping.

"Whoever he is, as long as he can actually help us find weapons for self-defense, we've already succeeded halfway."

A sinister smile appeared on Liu Zhixiu's face; he naturally wanted to make good use of the other party.

"That's true. Hopefully, that guy isn't just bragging and can actually get us weapons."

Cahill was also eagerly anticipating it; they both needed weapons for self-defense, otherwise they would be unable to move an inch.

Today, to attend Yang Xia and Yu Meiren's wedding, no one is allowed to bring weapons.

They wanted to see how Ram managed to get weapons for them under such dire circumstances.

Yoo Ji-soo and Cahill are still waiting for Ram to give a satisfactory answer...

If this person passes the test, it will greatly benefit both of them. The current situation is extremely unfavorable for them, and even if they wanted to escape, it would not be easy.

If they could obtain weapons for self-defense, the situation would be completely different, and the escape plan might actually succeed.

Under their expectant gazes, Ram soon appeared before them.

He casually sat down and quietly slipped a pocket pistol into each of their hands.

These pocket pistols are smaller than those on the market, making them very convenient to hide on one's person and difficult to detect.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable, actually managing to get us a self-defense weapon, and it looks pretty good, it's a pocket pistol."

"That's right, congratulations on passing the test. What should we do next?"

When Yoo Ji-soo and Cahill saw that Ram had indeed brought satisfactory weapons, they were immediately willing to trust him.

They needed to find reliable people to cooperate with, but they didn't expect Ram to come to them on his own initiative.

All of this happened so suddenly that they were even somewhat excited.

"From now on, you can only pretend to obey Yang Xia. I will arrange the rest later."

Ram nodded in satisfaction when he saw that the two were finally willing to cooperate with him.

After exchanging a few more words, he quietly left the two of them.

Such a secret collaboration between the three naturally couldn't be made public; they couldn't let more people see them gathered together.

After Ram left, Yoo Ji-soo and Cahill exchanged a smile, understanding what to do next.

Now that Ram is backing them up, they naturally have to pretend to obey Yang Xia and look for any opportunity to take advantage of him.

They knew that Ram would arrange everything afterward, and for now they could only follow Ram's instructions and maintain a good relationship with Yang Xia.

"Your Majesty, today is your joyous wedding day, and we should offer you a toast."

"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I sincerely congratulate Your Majesty on your marriage."

The two immediately changed their demeanor, approaching Yang Xia and offering their warm blessings.

Even the poppies standing nearby were puzzled—when they passed by just now, they had calm expressions and showed little emotion.

I don't know why they suddenly changed their attitude and became so warm.

"Thank you for your blessings."

Yang Xia smiled calmly, without revealing much emotion, and shared a drink with them.

After the two exchanged some insincere pleasantries, they left Yang Xia's side.

"Your Majesty, I feel that those two are behaving rather strangely."

Yu Meiren whispered to Yang Xia.

"Yes, of course they have ill intentions."

A cold smile flickered across Yang Xia's lips. Trying to fool him? Not a chance.

Today is his big day, and Yang Xia, in his joy, let them out to drink the celebratory wine, but did not relax his supervision.

It's impossible for these two to escape the Great Zhou Dynasty; Yang Xia has already assigned someone to monitor their movements.

There were too many guests today, so it was probably normal for Yang Xia to talk to anyone. He had not yet received a report from his subordinates.

It's unclear who these two met or why they suddenly changed their attitude.

Yang Xia remained outwardly calm and exchanged pleasantries with the guests as usual. The wedding finally came to a close in a lively atmosphere.

As soon as the wedding ended, Yang Xia immediately summoned General Meng Yu.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Seeing the worried look on Yang Xia's face, General Meng Yu knew that something urgent must have happened.

After all, it is the king's wedding day, and unless there are special circumstances, he would never be summoned at this time.

"Go and investigate immediately which guests have come to our Great Zhou Dynasty today, and find out who is suspicious."

Yang Xia ordered General Meng Yu to investigate immediately, so that before those people could realize it, many truths would come to light.

General Meng Yu accepted the order and immediately launched a thorough investigation.

There are so many guests today, the workload is enormous.

However, General Meng Yu acted decisively, conducting a rapid and meticulous investigation in an effort to identify suspicious individuals as soon as possible.

Today is a joyous occasion for the Great Zhou Kingdom, but beneath this festive scene, there must be those with ulterior motives.

General Meng Yu also realized this point and hurriedly completed his task, presenting Yang Xia with a list of all those present that day.

"Your Majesty, there are many people attending the wedding today. Which ones are the most suspicious?"...

After General Meng Yu handed over the list, he still had no clue and was afraid that he would not be able to find any suspicious people in a short time.

He knew the matter was serious, and that Yang Xia must have noticed something amiss, which was why he was ordered to investigate thoroughly. He hoped there would be results soon.

Yang Xia didn't say much, but carefully reviewed the list in front of him.

After reading them all, he immediately pointed to two of them.

"The identities of these two people are highly suspicious; there is definitely something wrong with them."

Yang Xia spoke with absolute certainty, which surprised even General Meng Yu.

When he received the list, he felt overwhelmed and didn't know how to filter out suspicious people from the crowd.

But Yang Xia only needed to look at it once to make his choice.

General Meng Yu, curious, looked in the direction Yang Xia pointed.

One of them was named Ram, and his ostensible identity was a merchant from Nebula.

The other person is from Yan country and is Anna, an online broadcaster.

"Your Majesty, many people from neighboring countries have come to offer their congratulations today. Why do you alone suspect these two individuals?"

General Meng Yu was still completely baffled.

Although he knew that this king was incredibly wise, he himself had no way of judging him and wanted to learn some of his superior skills from Yang Xia.

“These two arrived in the Great Zhou Dynasty one after the other, and their movements were different from others. You can find out by investigating carefully.”

Yang Xia gave a brief explanation, but that wasn't the most crucial point. The most important thing was to uncover the truth behind these two people.

"You shall immediately prepare for battle, and at the same time keep a close watch on the guests who come to congratulate you, until they leave."

"During this period, prevent them from moving around freely and pay attention to who they are in closer contact with."

Yang Xia made careful plans, and as long as these arrangements were implemented, there would be no problems.

"Your Majesty, I will do it immediately. Your Majesty is truly wise."

General Meng Yu accepted the order and quickly began to make arrangements according to Yang Xia's requirements, ensuring that every detail was in place and that there were absolutely no mistakes.

Now that we have discovered something suspicious about them, we must not let our guard down.

These guests did not leave immediately after attending Yang Xia's wedding, but planned to tour the Great Zhou Kingdom for two days, which was quite common. (End of Chapter)
