Chapter 2129 Revisited
When Blaze turned to look, he used the identification function, but unfortunately, he couldn't identify anything. These two were just ordinary humans.

Jasmine also had no information about these two people, so she complained about the current era where there was no census or complete personal files.

Robert Kleef and Aldridge are lucky to have any personal files, let alone any paper records. The worst, and most likely, scenario is that their identities and experiences are passed down orally.

Now, even the most skilled cook can't cook without rice, and Jasmine can't just gather information about someone out of thin air.

Theresa was unexpectedly also held responsible for this matter.

Who would have thought that with Theresa, a descendant of the gods, the pace of civilization's development would be so slow? Jasmine, the pinnacle of technology from the gods, had absolute control over science, and her true power—capable of invading, learning, and countering anything—could not be unleashed.

However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. It is convenient for us to dig out enemy intelligence, but the enemy can do the same.

"It seems the remaining few are the ones who are dissatisfied with the committee's coordination; it looks like we'll have to continue the talks."

Herbie just lay there in Blazer's chair, resting his slightly chubby face on his hand, sizing up Robert Kreve and Aldridge.

"I listened outside for a long time, and all I got was one thing: you're all unwilling to give up your provocative actions of building villages and occupying land in the orcish region, right?"

The kingdom's representatives shook their heads vigorously, but Robert Kleef and Aldridge, who truly held the decision-making power and spoke on their behalf, ignored their desperate attempts to survive.

Aldridge rubbed his hands together, behaving as humbly as ever, but his words carried a sharp edge.

"Oh dear, Lord Hermes, calling it a provocation is giving us far too much credit. We small and medium-sized kingdoms are just trying to survive and develop."

"We absolutely and sincerely want to respond to the peace slogan of the Olympiad and absolutely not acquire land through war, but you can't let us stay in such a small area forever. The Olympiad will allow us to develop, increase our population, and increase our land shortage. Moreover, we don't want to rely on imports for food forever..."

Aldridge started rambling on and on like a monk, seemingly chatting casually, but he spoke at an extremely fast pace, and in no time he had completed a rather fierce information bombardment.

The representative from the Giant Kingdom had already started to stare blankly into space, and even the representative from the Financial Alliance frowned. Only Herbie showed a serious expression and nodded from time to time to show his agreement with Aldridge's words.

Aldridge's words were, of course, perfectly reasonable at first glance, but that was all.

"Yes, you guys really have it tough. Why don't you go and explore other regions? There are six worlds now, many of which are uninhabited by any intelligent civilization. Why do you have to choose the orc region?"

"That's because the national strength of our small and medium-sized kingdoms is simply insufficient to support us in expanding our territory to such dangerous places, so we can only choose a nearby one."

Herbie smiled, but there was no real joy in his smile.

That's utter nonsense. If we consider orcs as a whole, then they are the largest civilized group in the world, without exception.

Building villages and conquering land in orcish territories was one of the most dangerous and unprofitable things she knew of.

Aldridge himself knew that this was pure nonsense, but now was the time for the biggest powers to listen to this nonsense.

If these major powers want to truly and successfully host this significant Olympiad, they must ensure that the event is flawless and that everyone, especially the easily swayed general public, is convinced of its success.

These extremely high demands have tied the hands of these powerful forces, forcing them to listen to his nonsense.

"Ahem." Aldridge coughed twice, reminding the other person to cooperate with him, but he received no response.

Aldridge glanced over out of the corner of his eye and saw Robert Kleef staring intently at Helvie, the hyena-like beastman in a suit, standing opposite him.

He cried out in alarm, immediately stood up, placed his hands on the table, and leaned forward to block Robert Crave's view.

"It is a great honor for me to meet the guild master of [Hermes's Traveling Hat] and the legendary King of Asgard today. Your brilliance is truly overwhelming. If possible, I would like to postpone this meeting."

"We have felt the committee's seriousness, so the next meeting will definitely yield a result that satisfies everyone."

"..." Herbie turned her head, narrowed her eyes, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared. Aldridge's palms were sweating, but he still wore a fawning smile. He knew perfectly well just how terrifying the person in front of him, who looked like just a little girl, really was.

It is a wolf with a strong desire for revenge, a snake that will attack suddenly, and also [death].

Just as Aldridge was about to lose control of his heartbeat, Herbie suddenly smiled brightly.

"See you at this time tomorrow."

"Alright, alright, we'll take our leave now." Aldridge immediately stood up, pulled Robert Kleef, and walked towards the door, while the other representatives of the small and medium-sized kingdoms, who were sitting on pins and needles, followed him out as if fleeing.

Herbie's true emotions only became apparent when only four representatives, Herbie, and Blazer remained in the meeting room.

She pouted and poked Blazer's face indignantly.

"You said you were coming, but all you did was pose for photos. Is that really necessary?"

“I like to let the opponent make a few moves first, to figure out their style.” Blaze shrugged. He was innocent. First of all, he wasn’t posing on purpose, and secondly, he had seriously thought about the question. It’s just that the answer he received made him feel there was no need to speak.

"What do you think?"

"In the words of strangers, they are here to bully honest people. They talk a good game, but they have their reasons for daring to act so recklessly."

Blazer turned his head to look at the Holy Cross Church, whose expression was somewhat embarrassed.

"What are Anderson and the Three Saints thinking?"

……

boom--

Robert Kreve was slammed against the wall by Aldridge, who grabbed him by the collar. Facing Aldridge's angry glare, Robert Kreve nonchalantly scratched the back of his head.

"I'm bleeding, it hurts so much."

Aldridge's smile and glibness vanished completely. He remained silent, and every wrinkle on his face exuded a coldness.

Robert Kreve clicked his tongue and raised his hands.

"Okay, okay, I promise I'll control my emotions towards those beasts, alright?"

Aldridge held on for a while longer until Robert Kleef's breathing became somewhat rapid before letting go.

"What you want and what I want both depend on the premise that we are 'good people.' You'd better control your emotions and use your anger where it's needed."

“A good person? How can you say such a thing?” Robert Crave tugged at his collar and sneered, “Everyone can see what kind of person you are.”

"It's precisely because they can see through it that they want to continue being a 'good person'."

Aldridge reached out to help Robert Kleef straighten his clothes. Robert Kleef wanted to resist, but under the gentle smile on Aldridge's face, he felt a chill run through him and his body stiffened, allowing Aldridge to straighten his clothes.

"Those big countries also want to be the 'good guys.' Now it's time to see who can keep up the pretense until the end. And this time, the one who can't hold back and becomes the bad guy first will be the loser."

"Believe me, it's much harder for a big country to be a 'good person' than for us. The 'evil' buried deep in their bones is already stirring."
