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

“General Mengyin, I am currently in good condition and not in any danger, so you don’t need to worry.” “Tonight, under cover of darkness, we will attack a naval military base of the Xingyun Kingdom. I will send you the location later.” Yang Xia immediately gave Mengyin instructions on the next action plan, which he had secretly observed during the negotiations.

"Your Majesty, you are indeed very capable. I never expected you to discover such an important situation." Meng Yin was extremely excited after hearing Yang Xia's words and admired Yang Xia to the point of prostration. He could always seize the opportunity.

"Your Majesty, you must protect yourself." "If we take action tonight, those people from Xingyun Kingdom will definitely target you." Meng Yin added anxiously.

"Don't worry, they can't do anything to me. There's absolutely no need to worry about that," Yang Xia said firmly.

That very night, General Mengyin, following Yang Xia's instructions, launched a fierce attack on the Xingyun Kingdom's naval military base.

Those people were completely unprepared, so General Mengyin's sneak attack was a success.

The people of Xingyun Kingdom thought they had Yang Xia under control and had even cut off his communication with the outside world, so of course they couldn't do anything funny.

They never expected that Yang Xia carried a universal communicator and had already arranged for Meng Yin to launch a sneak attack.

"Reporting to the general, something terrible has happened. Our naval base has been attacked, and the losses have been extremely heavy."

The high-ranking officials of the Nebula Kingdom were still asleep when they suddenly received such news. They could hardly believe their ears and even thought they were dreaming.

"What? Say that again! How could this possibly happen?"

The high-ranking officials of the Nebula Kingdom were furious and simply did not believe what they were saying.

"General, it's true, our naval base has been attacked."

"Many of our defensive facilities were destroyed, and those people from the Great Zhou Dynasty also took away many of our advanced weapons..."

The subordinates quickly reported their losses in detail, which made the high-ranking officials of the Nebula Kingdom so angry that they almost vomited blood.

They originally thought they had Yang Xia firmly under their control and could even obtain something of value from him, but unexpectedly, Xingyun Kingdom suffered such severe damage.

General Mengyin had won a great victory and had already quietly withdrawn, returning home to celebrate enthusiastically.

"Your Majesty is truly wise. You have allowed us to win a great victory so quietly and seize so many advanced weapons."

"Yes, that was a brilliant move. Those people in Nebula Kingdom must be furious."

His soldiers were also extremely excited and admired Yang Xia even more.

When high-ranking officials from the Nebula Kingdom went to the scene to inspect the situation, it was truly a horrific sight.

"I suspect it was definitely arranged by that Yang Xia."

"That must be it, otherwise, how could they have located our naval base so accurately?"

Several high-ranking leaders discussed the matter at length, unanimously concluding that Yang Xia was responsible. They then angrily confronted Yang Xia to settle the score.

"Yang Xia, did you arrange for your men to destroy our naval base?"

The high-ranking officials of Xingyun Kingdom pointed their fingers at Yang Xia, extremely indignant, unanimously believing that Yang Xia was the one behind it all.

Because they had already experienced Yang Xia's prowess firsthand; he always acted in such an unpredictable and mysterious way that they couldn't figure him out at all.

The situation this time was similar to before; their naval base was destroyed unexpectedly, so they naturally suspected that Yang Xia had arranged it.

"You will bear all the losses this time!"

The high-ranking officials of the Nebula Kingdom planned to seize this opportunity to successfully threaten Yang Xia, hoping to obtain the high-tech products they had been longing for.

Yang Xia found the eager looks of these people amusing, having already guessed their intentions.

"What you're saying is completely unreasonable. It's obvious that you're the ones who are using underhanded tactics to block my signal. How could I possibly contact them?"

“Sometimes, I don’t want to break ties and I want to save face for you, but I didn’t expect you to turn around and bite me. That’s too much.”

When Yang Xia heard them say that, he shifted all the blame onto the people from Xingyun Kingdom.

"You're talking nonsense. If you hadn't arranged it for them, how could they have possibly destroyed our naval base?"

Seeing that Yang Xia refused to admit it no matter what, the high-ranking officials of Xingyun Kingdom stood firm and were convinced that Yang Xia was the one who did it.

"That's your fault. Your men couldn't contact me, so of course they would think something had happened to me, which is why they took action."

Yang Xia executed this move brilliantly, completely absolving himself of any responsibility.

"If they still can't contact me, they might do something else, and then they can't blame me."

Yang Xia then turned around and began threatening the high-ranking officials of Xingyun Kingdom, leaving them all furious and at a loss for what to do.

“I think we can’t keep this Yang Xia. He’s an oddball. If we keep him around, he’ll be a threat to us sooner or later.”

"Yes, it would be much easier to get rid of these kinds of people sooner rather than later, and we wouldn't have to face so much trouble in the future."

The high-ranking leaders of the Nebula Kingdom discussed the matter extensively, and they finally reached a consensus to take action against Yang Xia.

"Damn, these heartless bastards really are going to kill me. Of course, I can't let them succeed."

Yang Xia realized that he was in a very dangerous situation, so he activated the weather controller in his mind.

After adjusting the temperature and wind speed of the weather controller, a powerful and terrifying tornado immediately broke out in the Nebula Kingdom.

The high-ranking officials who were preparing to take action against Yang Xia were utterly shocked when they saw this situation.

The high-ranking leaders of the Nebula Kingdom were startled by the sudden tornado, realizing that Yang Xia before them was indeed a reclusive master.

He definitely possesses a magical artifact capable of controlling the weather; if it was just a guess before, it's now practically certain.

"Yang Xia, do you really possess high-tech equipment that can control the weather? Why don't you show us?"

The high-ranking officials of the Nebula Kingdom couldn't help but inquire again about the advanced technology for controlling the weather.

Yang Xia knew they had already guessed this, and he didn't intend to keep it a secret any longer.

Moreover, it wouldn't be so easy for them to forcibly plunder.

These advanced technologies were obtained by themselves from the system, and they can be successfully controlled in their minds; they cannot obtain them from others.

With this in mind, Yang Xia decided to tell them the situation, hoping to successfully arouse their greed and make himself safer.

"Ahem... Since you're so eager to know, I won't hide anything anymore. I do indeed possess a magical artifact that can control the weather."

Yang Xia pretended to be reluctant when he told them, and the high-ranking officials of Xingyun Kingdom immediately had their eyes light up. "Yang Xia, you really do have something that can control the weather. No wonder you can create favorable weather conditions for yourself every time you go to war."

"Yes, if we could really control the weather, that would be amazing. We would be invincible."

The high-ranking officials of the Nebula Kingdom were incredibly excited, as if this weather-controlling artifact had already become their own, and they were even imagining how its powerful capabilities could help the Nebula Kingdom do even more.

Seeing the greedy faces of these people, Yang Xia couldn't help but reveal a barely perceptible sneer.

"Yang Xia, let's continue discussing the cooperation."

"Considering that you possess a magical artifact for controlling the weather, we are willing to compromise and agree to the conditions you previously stated."

The high-ranking officials of the Nebula Kingdom readily conceded. Of course, they could not genuinely cooperate with Yang Xia; they were merely playing it by ear, still keeping his weather controller in mind.

“That won’t do. We didn’t mention the weather controller when we talked about it before.”

"Cooperation between our two countries is fine, but if you want to use my weather controller, these conditions are hardly enough. Wouldn't I be at a huge disadvantage?"

Seeing the greedy faces of these people, Yang Xia knew they were after his weather controller and would never cooperate sincerely.

Since that's the case, Yang Xia decided to push his luck and add some more conditions to test just how far the people of Xingyun Kingdom could go.

"Didn't we agree on this before? Are you trying to add more conditions? Don't go too far."

A high-ranking official from the Nebula Kingdom couldn't help but shout, feeling that Yang Xia was pushing his luck.

"No conditions are fine, but you can forget about me using the weather controller to help your Nebula Kingdom in the future."

"If that's the case, then we'll cooperate according to the previous conditions. I'm not a greedy person; it's all up to you to choose."

Yang Xia had their Achilles' heel; he knew these people were after his weather controller, and of course, they wouldn't easily give in.

"Yang Xia, what conditions do you want to add? Tell me."

After hearing Yang Xia's words, another high-ranking official seemed thoughtful. He knew that the other party would not back down easily, so he could only test Yang Xia's bottom line to see how big his appetite really was.

"I want to lead my troops to Nebula to learn your combat methods and the techniques for using some of your advanced weapons."

Yang Xia actually made such a condition, leaving the high-ranking officials of Xingyun Kingdom looking at each other in disbelief. Such a request was simply too much.

If it weren't for the fact that Yang Xia possessed the weather controller, they probably would have already killed him. Now, they both love and hate Yang Xia.

"Yang Xia, this matter is very important. We will discuss it and give you an answer later."

The high-ranking officials of Xingyun Kingdom did not want to offend Yang Xia, so they decided to discuss it privately.

"No problem, you can discuss it slowly. I'll go back and rest first."

Yang Xia leisurely returned to his room.

The Nebula Kingdom naturally provided them with the best food, drink, and lodging, but these people could turn on them in an instant.

If Yang Xia hadn't been able to control them, they probably would have been wiped out long ago. Unfortunately, they had no way to deal with Yang Xia.

"We can't agree to Yang Xia's conditions; it's too much of a bully."

"But if we don't agree, we'll completely break off relations, and we'll have no chance of getting the weather controller."

"Yes, we should try to get our hands on the weather controller by coaxing and cajoling it first."

After some discussion, the high-ranking officials of Nebula Kingdom decided to pretend to agree first, and then continue to act according to circumstances, with their target still being the weather controller.

“We can agree to Yang Xia’s harsh conditions, but we also need to test him. We can’t let Yang Xia always suppress us.”

"We'll add an extra clause: that Yang Xia joins forces with us to attack the Yan Kingdom."

After discussing the matter, the high-ranking officials of the Nebula Kingdom came up with this cunning scheme.

"This method is absolutely brilliant. Let's see how Yang Xia deceives us. If he doesn't agree, it will prove that he is only pretending to cooperate; if he does agree, that would be even better." The high-ranking officials of Xingyun Kingdom looked at each other and smiled, feeling quite pleased with themselves for coming up with such a brilliant plan.

This would not only successfully sow discord between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom, but also provide an opportunity to spy on Yang Xia's weather controller.

Having made up their minds, they hurriedly sent someone to invite Yang Xia again.

"Yang Xia, we agree to the conditions you just proposed. Xingyun Kingdom has done more than enough."

"However, we also have one condition." The high-ranking officials of the Nebula Kingdom revealed sly smiles, all of which were within Yang Xia's expectations.

"Just state your conditions, and I will agree to anything I can." Yang Xia adopted a very generous attitude, which pleased the high-ranking officials of Xingyun Kingdom.

"Sure enough, our request is simple: we want to join forces to attack Yan Kingdom." These high-ranking officials from Xingyun Kingdom shamelessly made this demand, which Yang Xia immediately rejected.

"I'm sorry, but I absolutely cannot agree to this. I was born in Yan Kingdom after all." Yang Xia's face even showed anger.

The people of Xingyun Kingdom did not expect Yang Xia to react so strongly, so they dared not make any more forceful demands.

“Alright then, let’s join forces to attack other countries.” These high-ranking officials from Nebula Kingdom were adept at changing their tune and immediately altered their previous decision.

In any case, they were unwilling to break ties with Yang Xia and only wanted to achieve their own goals through a combination of coaxing and deception.

“If this is acceptable, then let’s agree to it.” Yang Xia also feigned compromise, knowing full well that these people from Xingyun Kingdom had ulterior motives.

"Very good. May our two countries cooperate sincerely and become even stronger in the future."

"If there are no problems, we can sign the agreement, and from now on we will be one family." The high-ranking officials of Xingyun Kingdom spoke more eloquently than they could sing, appearing extremely enthusiastic on the surface, but in reality they were trying to lure Yang Xia into a trap.

Now that a cooperation agreement has finally been signed, the main task is to obtain the treasures from Yang Xia through a combination of deception and trickery.

"Gentlemen, if there are no objections, I will order my troops to formally enter the Nebula Kingdom to study. Only by learning more advanced technology can we cooperate closely." Yang Xia immediately uttered some high-sounding words. In any case, both sides were putting on an act, and then it would be a matter of who had the more skillful methods.

"Of course, we welcome you anytime." Having said that, the high-ranking officials of Xingyun Kingdom had no choice but to obediently follow Yang Xia's instructions.

Under Yang Xia's arrangement, Meng Yin led his soldiers to garrison on the territory of Xingyun Kingdom, ostensibly for study, but in reality to spy on more of Xingyun Kingdom's secrets.

"Generals, I am still somewhat worried about the safety of our soldiers. Perhaps I should stay here for the time being." Yang Xia casually made up an excuse to stay in Xingyun Kingdom, as only in this way could he personally deploy troops.

The Great Zhou Dynasty would immediately intervene should there be even the slightest disturbance in the Nebula Kingdom. It must be admitted that Yang Xia possessed considerable strength and was able to successfully control the situation. (End of Chapter)
