“I know you’re a reasonable person, and you understand this better than anyone else. I was just casually reminding you.”

Coulson still had a smile on his face, but it was a smile that hid a knife. He seized the opportunity to steer the conversation toward the agreement.

After his defeat, Tanawu returned and told the ministers of Moonlight Kingdom that they had signed such an agreement. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Coulson had already made up his mind to take his place at that time.

Once Tanawu is killed, Moonlight Kingdom will be in charge of its own affairs.

Yang Xia's ridiculous agreement was nothing but a piece of waste paper in his eyes, and he would never acknowledge it.

Today is a good opportunity, and Coulson is going to bring this topic to the forefront.

He wanted to see how Yang Xia would respond. No matter how formidable Yang Xia was, Coulson had no intention of backing down easily.

Now that he was about to become the new ruler of the Moonlight Kingdom, he thought he should take this opportunity to establish his authority, which was why he deliberately raised this question.

“That won’t do. The agreement clearly states that whoever becomes the ruler of Moonlight Kingdom cannot violate it.”

Yang Xia's attitude was very firm; he would absolutely not back down in the slightest.

"Yang Xia, I'm just trying to give you a friendly reminder. Never persist in things you shouldn't, or the consequences will be severe, something most people can't afford."

Hearing Yang Xia's resolute tone, Coulson immediately sneered, his face darkening. His ruthlessness was on full display.

Kanapan, standing nearby, felt a jolt of fear, worried that the two might start fighting.

He knew Yang Xia very well; he was a man who never gave up. Seeing how particularly cunning and treacherous Coulson was, he was surprised that Coulson would raise such a question with Yang Xia in this kind of setting.

Many world leaders were watching, and if the two refused to back down, things could easily escalate into a major conflict.

Kanapan dared not think any further, unsure of what would happen next.

Although Yang Xia is exceptionally powerful, he is, after all, on Moonlight Kingdom's territory. If things turn sour, they won't gain any advantage.

Coulson had this in mind, which is why he didn't hold back in raising the question with Yang Xia.

Everyone present could hear the blatant threat coming from Coulson. He stared coldly at Yang Xia, his aura quite intimidating.

The others weren't fools either; they knew that Tanawu's death was particularly suspicious.

Looking at Coulson's fierce demeanor, they began to have some guesses. However, naturally, no one dared to speak of such things.

All eyes turned to Yang Xia, wondering how he would react.

After all, they are now on Moonlight Kingdom's territory, and if they turn against each other, no one knows what extreme things Coulson might do.

The Moonlight Kingdom has always bullied others by relying on its power, and the leaders of other countries were so frightened by this situation that their legs went weak.

Fortunately, the person standing in front of them was Yang Xia; if it had been any of them, they would have been terrified.

In the end, there was only one outcome: to obediently follow Coulson's arrangements and quickly compromise.

"Heh, do you consider this a threat to our Yan Kingdom?"

Yang Xia was not afraid; he had long anticipated that Coulson would reveal such a fierce side. He had also been prepared before coming to Moonlight Kingdom.

"Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to speak frankly. Our Yan Kingdom is currently powerful and possesses advanced weaponry. If your Moonlight Kingdom insists on forcing me to take action, then of course I won't hold back!"

Yang Xia was not intimidated by the other party's imposing manner and spoke these words in a very domineering way.

The two stared at each other coldly, each trying to intimidate the other with their imposing presence.

Everyone present had considerable respect for Yang Xia. He remained so domineering even on Moonlight Kingdom's territory.

The greatest source of confidence in oneself is the ability to appear strong.

No wonder Yang Xia is so powerful. Yan Kingdom is indeed exceptionally strong now, and has become the most powerful country in the entire other world.

Moonlight Kingdom simply doesn't want to relinquish its title as the number one nation; in reality, that title is already defunct.

The leaders of the surrounding countries are also quite clear about the situation; they know exactly what the circumstances are.

They have a very good understanding of the strength of the Yan Kingdom.

Tanawu had just suffered a defeat, which is why he signed the peace agreement.

I never expected Coulson to be so cunning and treacherous, taking this opportunity to challenge Yang Xia.

"Hehe, Yang Xia, I was just joking with you, why did you take it so seriously?"

"Moonlight Kingdom has just changed its ruler, and its national strength is unstable at all. How could I possibly start a war with Yan Kingdom?"

Seeing Yang Xia's incredibly domineering demeanor, Coulson didn't dare to act rashly.

He knew that Yang Xia's strength was no joke. The Yan Kingdom was particularly powerful now, and defeating Tanawu would have been effortless.

Although he secretly wished he could wipe out the Yan Kingdom immediately, he had to face reality. The consequences of impulsiveness were still very serious.

Seeing that the leaders of the neighboring countries were watching their performance closely, Coulson had no choice but to change his tune and say that he was just joking.

Yang Xia was utterly speechless at the guy's shameless face. However, in front of so many people, Yang Xia didn't say anything.

"Oh, it was a joke, I was joking too. The peace agreement clearly states that we will not go to war with each other. Any country that breaks its promise will be punished."

Yang Xia readily accepted the offer, realizing that the malicious Coulson had just been testing him.

Seeing that they were no match for Yan Kingdom, they changed their tune.

This is what true masters sparring. On the surface, they seem to be chatting and laughing, but underneath, undercurrents are already swirling.

Coulson and Yang Xia secretly engaged in a contest, leaving those around them trembling with fear.

...But look at the two people in front of me, they both seem very calm, as if they were just joking.

They both knew in their hearts that these two were no ordinary people. On the surface, they appeared calm and collected, but in fact, they had already tested each other.

Coulson knew that Yang Xia was an extremely formidable character, and that Yan Kingdom was now incredibly powerful.

Seeing Yang Xia's resolute attitude, even willing to go to war with the Moonlight Kingdom, Coulson naturally dared not continue to resist.

He had just taken over Moonlight Kingdom, and things were indeed very unstable in all aspects. Beset by internal and external troubles, he certainly wouldn't fare well. That's why Coulson quickly changed his tune and pretended to be joking.

Through this encounter with Coulson, Yang Xia also made a simple test and found that Coulson was indeed exceptionally fierce, even more so than Tanawu.

To think that Coulson would test him in this way, judging from the extremely fierce look in his eyes, was indeed quite brutal. Yang Xia had already made up his mind.

We will pay closer attention to the Moonlight Kingdom from now on, and will never give Coulson any opportunity to take advantage of us, nor will we allow him to gain any benefit from the Yan Kingdom.

"Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Moonlight Kingdom, I would like to thank you all for coming today. Please forgive me if there is any inadequacy in our hospitality."

Coulson put on that warm smile again and exchanged pleasantries with everyone present.

“These are things we should do.” Other leaders, unsure how to talk to Coulson, simply offered a few perfunctory words.

Some things are better left unsaid, and they dare not speak carelessly, for they must be careful in the face of the Moonlight Kingdom.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; the strength of the Moonlight Kingdom should not be underestimated. Moreover, Coulson is such a treacherous character that they dare not offend him easily.

As the saying goes, if it doesn't concern you, don't bother.

Seeing that Moonlight Kingdom and Yan Kingdom had become enemies, and that the two countries would inevitably fight each other, they could only watch from the sidelines and dared not get involved.

After exchanging pleasantries, the funeral finally came to an end, and Coulson, still beaming with enthusiasm, saw everyone off.

After seeing that everyone had left, a terrifyingly cold glint appeared in Coulson's eyes once again.

"Damn you, Yang Xia, just you wait! One day, I'll crush you under my feet!"

Coulson uttered such vicious words, which was also his biggest goal. Only after defeating Yan Kingdom could Moonlight Kingdom once again become the number one country in the other world.

Upon returning to the palace, several of Tanaw's supporters approached Coulson.

They were former close associates of Tanawu, so they naturally had doubts about Tanawu's bizarre death.

But they had no evidence and dared not speak recklessly.

After discussing it privately, they decided that under no circumstances should they allow someone as treacherous and ruthless as Coulson to become the new ruler of Moonlight Kingdom.

So they went to Coulson and hoped he would give up the idea before the coronation ceremony.

“Prime Minister, the old king has just passed away. According to the Moonlight Kingdom’s traditional hereditary system, the youngest son of the old king should be assisted to become the new king of the Moonlight Kingdom.”

"Yes, Your Excellency, only in this way can we follow the will of the people. The system of Moonlight Kingdom cannot be changed at will. I urge Your Excellency to think it over carefully."

These ministers weren't fools; they were strongly advocating for Tanawu's youngest son to succeed as the new ruler of Moonlight Kingdom, partly because they genuinely hoped to see such an outcome.

On the other hand, it was also a new test of Coulson. If Coulson strongly opposed it, it would further prove that Tanawu's death was directly related to Coulson.

Coulson's face darkened when he heard these people say such things.

He knew, of course, that these ministers were all former close associates of Tanawu and had no intention of making him the new ruler. Moreover, they harbored resentment over Tanawu's death and might be secretly investigating the true cause of his demise.

From any perspective, these people in front of me cannot be kept; they are nothing but a scourge to me.

After thinking about all this, Coulson didn't even say a word. He simply flicked several hidden weapons from his sleeve, sending the ministers in front of him to their deaths.

The servants around him were immediately terrified and collapsed to the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

They never expected Coulson to be so brutal, many times more tyrannical than Tanawut.

"I never want to hear that kind of nonsense again. What can a young child do? If I hear those words again, I'll kill him without mercy!"

Coulson coldly uttered these words.

Meanwhile, Kanapan returned to Yan Kingdom with Yang Xia. This trip to Moonlight Kingdom made Kanapan feel uneasy.

He saw it clearly and knew that Coulson was an extremely ruthless guy, and that Moonlight Kingdom would definitely cause some trouble next.

Previously, Tanawu had already regarded Moonlight Kingdom as the patriarch of the other world, and all surrounding countries had to obey their orders.

Now, the Yan Kingdom is becoming increasingly powerful, becoming a thorn in the side of the Moonlight Kingdom, and Yang Xia has also made the Moonlight Kingdom sign that peace treaty.

All of this made the Moonlight Kingdom increasingly dissatisfied, and given Coulson's insidious and ruthless nature, he certainly wouldn't let it go.

Next, the Moonlight Kingdom will inevitably find a way to attack the Flame Kingdom; it's only a matter of time.

Kanapan gets particularly worried whenever he thinks about these issues.

Although the Kingdom of Phil is quite strong in many aspects, they dislike war the most. They have a deep faith in the gods and always hope to live a peaceful life under the guidance of the gods, which is the best choice.

Now that he has met Yang Xia from Yan Kingdom, Kanapan feels particularly gratified.

He believed it was the descent of a god, and that Phil Kingdom could finally live such a peaceful and happy life, which made him extremely happy.

Therefore, he was quite worried about Coulson's subsequent actions. After returning to Yan, Kanapan continued to discuss these topics with Yang Xia.

"Yang Xia, everyone here can see that Coulson is even more ruthless than Tanawu. Next, Moonlight Kingdom will definitely set its sights on Yan Kingdom."

Kanapan was full of questions. He wanted to have a good talk with Yang Xia about these things until he was completely at ease.

"King of Kanapan, you don't need to worry too much about these things. What's meant to happen will happen. We just need to do our own thing."

Yang Xia knew, of course, that Kanapan was particularly worried about these things, and had repeatedly emphasized these situations to him back in the Moonlight Kingdom.

"Yang Xia, do you already have a proper solution? I see you're not in a hurry at all, and you're sure you can successfully deal with Coulson from Moonlight Kingdom."

"Will Yan Kingdom directly wage war against Moonlight Kingdom? Perhaps a preemptive strike would be the only way to make Coulson completely obedient."

Kanapan believed that with Yang Xia's current strength, he would definitely win if he attacked Moonlight Kingdom.

Furthermore, with the full support of the Phil Congress, there is little suspense in these aspects.

Knowing that Coulson was a ticking time bomb, we should have taken precautions against such a dangerous person earlier.

Yang Xia shook his head; he had no plans to attack the Moonlight Kingdom at the moment.

In some respects, he still advocates peace and wants to develop the other world into a model similar to the original world, where all nations can live in peace and seek common development. (End of Chapter)
