Chapter 889: Chapter 889: Great Gift Chapter 889: Chapter 889: Great Gift “Our supplies were hijacked?” Fox’s brow furrowed, “What do you mean? What supplies do we have?”
His subordinate hesitated, “That is… the supplies and food being delivered to us were attacked by sea beasts midway, and some were lost. When they passed through the North Sea, they were all seized by Cherrywood’s military!”
He had already contacted Cherrywood’s military, demanding with great firmness that they return the supplies.
But these people were also driven to desperation. Seeing the food and daily necessities, how could they easily return them?
They insisted those goods were purchased from other regions, outright denying any wrongdoing.
“What?! These bastards want to die? They dare to blatantly rob us of our things?”
Fox slammed the table, obviously not expecting such an incident to occur.
He had originally thought that once these supplies arrived, if they were distributed fairly, the Eight countries in Southeast might be able to survive the food crisis.
But now he hadn’t seen a trace of them, all taken by Cherrywood.
The subordinate was too frightened to speak, merely bowing his head as if having more to say but hesitating.
Greg Jensen noticed there was more to be said, glared fiercely at Fox, “Those who strive for great deeds must remain calm. The person hasn’t finished speaking, what are you rushing for?”
After a pause, he asked the subordinate, “What else? Do they already know about these things over there?”
“Yes, they have all received the news! Over there they are extremely angry, strongly demanding that Cherrywood hand over the supplies.
Unfortunately, Cherrywood finds all sorts of excuses to prevaricate. In the end, they even refused to admit they took the supplies and instead accused us of trying to extort them!
Faced with this situation, they were also powerless. Now the whole world’s attention is on Shadow Province, and the pressure from public opinion and social condemnation can hardly influence Cherrywood at all.
They have contacted us, saying they will ship more supplies, trying to avoid sea routes as much as possible, but…”
The subordinate stopped there, clenching his teeth in displeasure, “Doing so makes us all uncomfortable. The bastards from Cherrywood are just shameless!”
Slap!
Black Wolf, unable to restrain himself, slammed on the table and suggested:
“Lord Dragon King, in my opinion, we cannot let these people take advantage. The whole world is already short on food, and they blatantly rob us of our supplies; this is clearly a provocation against us!”
Everyone else was also in low spirits, though another batch of supplies would be sent to them, but… this was also a matter of their honor!
The Eight countries in Southeast inherently had a bad relationship with Cherrywood, and having their goods taken away by others was one thing, but letting these villains get them, left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.
But at this critical moment, they were unable to extricate themselves. To rashly invade Cherrywood’s territory would only make their already difficult situation increasingly complicated.
Nevertheless, Greg Jensen scoffed, staring at the intense gazes around him, saying:
“Of course we cannot let them get away with this! Otherwise, everyone will think the Eight countries in Southeast are pushovers!
Fox, you now go and contact Cherrywood’s officials, warning them that they must return the items intact!
Otherwise, I won’t mind making Cherrywood the focus of the entire globe!”
“Yes!!”
Upon receiving the command, the Fox immediately sprang into action.
He contacted the officials of Cherrywood at the first opportunity and demanded with a firm stance that they hand over the goods or else they would pay a heavy price.
However, an hour later, the response they received was:
“Sorry! Our country of Cherrywood has not intercepted any materials from your country, and we ask that you do not believe in the gossip and rumors that would undermine the friendship between our two nations!”
“The materials we have obtained were purchased at great expense from other sources, and we have never seen your goods from beginning to end. If there have been any losses, please investigate in the North Sea yourself!”
It was evident that these Cherrywood officials had very thick skin; they refused to acknowledge the facts and instead cleared themselves of any involvement, even suggesting that they investigate themselves in the North Sea.
It was clear that they were certain that under such complex circumstances, it would be impossible for the Fox and the others to spend a substantial amount of money to go to the North Sea.
The Fox and the Black Wolf and others were sitting in the Dragon King’s Palace, appearing more restless than usual.
It had to be said, Cherrywood’s actions were infuriating!
They couldn’t wait to lead their men there right away and take back everything that belonged to them.
But in this situation… Alas!
“Dragon King, we can’t just stand by and watch as they take our support materials for themselves, can we?”
“Aiden Clark, if it weren’t for these special times, I would have already led men on their turf and started chopping!”
“It seems they’ve forgotten how they suffered at our hands last time, haven’t they? They’ve truly forgotten the pain once the wound heals!”
Filled with righteous indignation, they voiced their discontent and stared intently at the Dragon King seated high above.
Little did they know, Greg Jensen wasn’t as tense as them and instead let out a cold, icy laugh:
“Since that’s the case, they can’t blame us for showing no mercy! The things of the Eight countries in Southeast are not so easily seized!”
“This… Dragon King, what do you mean?”
His words puzzled everyone present; under the current circumstances, they were unable to mobilize forces, let alone personally attack Cherrywood. Could there be another way?
“Hehe…” Greg Jensen gave a calm smile, not leaving them in suspense, and said outright, “Nuclear threats haven’t worked on the Beast King of the vast steppes of Shadow Province, but wouldn’t they work on these human-looking beasts?”
“You, you mean to use nuclear threats? To force them to hand over the goods obediently?” The Fox and the others’ eyes widened, pondering that it might indeed be a good plan.
Greg Jensen, however, shook his head. “No! I’m thinking of sending them a big ‘gift’ directly!”
“You mean a direct strike? Wouldn’t this… this cause global outrage? After all, the International Joint Defense Center has strict regulations. Such a devastating weapon cannot be used lightly unless absolutely necessary…”
The Fox’s face turned pale, not because he was afraid of Cherrywood, but because he was worried that if they were the first to use such measures, it would give other countries looking to target them an excuse.
At that time, endless sanctions would await them, worsening the situation for the Eight countries in Southeast.
Greg Jensen, with a smiling expression, countered: “Then do you think them stealing our supplies and letting our citizens go hungry doesn’t meet the threshold of ‘absolutely necessary’?”
“This…” The Fox had a sudden realization, and like the others, displayed an expression of wild joy, “Understood, understood! Hahaha, I’ll go arrange it right away!”
