Chapter 892: Chapter 892: Tough Stance Chapter 892: Chapter 892: Tough Stance “What?”

The Emperor almost thought he had heard wrong. The Alliance Center was actually asking him to return the items?

Wouldn’t that mean that Cherrywood would be at others’ mercy? Not to mention the massive loss they had incurred this time, the blow to their prestige would be significant once word got out.

The Alliance Minister sighed and explained,

“If you hold onto their things, they have every reason to do whatever they want, even refuse compensation. But if you return the things to them, what excuse would they have then?”

At that point, the International Alliance Center could completely justify imposing sanctions on the Eight countries in Southeast, leaving them aggrieved with no way to object.

Besides, it was clear to him that the Eight countries in Southeast were not bluffing.

If they really didn’t return the items, it was likely that they would continue to launch nuclear weapons.

No matter the rest of the nations or Cherrywood, when faced with the threat of nuclear weapons, nobody wanted to endure it, much less engage in a battle where both parties are destroyed.

“This…”

Upon hearing this, the Emperor fell into deep thought. After a long while, he nodded reluctantly and said,

“Fine, I’ll follow your advice and return their things! But after this matter is settled, you at the Alliance Center must stand up for me!”

“Rest assured! Even if you hadn’t asked, I would have found a way to sanction them!”

The Alliance Minister smiled, having already figured out how to deal with the situation.

…

Half a day later.

Cherrywood organized a batch of materials that were delivered by sea to the borders of the Eight countries in Southeast.

Following closely, the International Alliance Center issued a notice stating that the materials had been fully returned, hoping that the Dragon King’s Palace would make an apology, and deal with the nuclear bombing incident properly with Cherrywood.

Otherwise, countries around the globe would unite to sanction them, restricting their import and export trade, stripping them of their international rights, and even suppressing the businessmen and enterprises from the Eight countries in Southeast in other nations.

It can’t be denied that this threat was indeed hefty; it pressed not only from the higher-ups but also involved a large number of innocent businessmen indirectly.

As a result, within a few hours, more and more businesses expressed their protest, hoping that the Dragon King’s Palace would provide adequate compensation, or else they would permanently renounce their citizenship of the Eight countries in Southeast.

“Dragon King, all the materials have been counted, and indeed, not one is missing, they have even included a hundred extra pounds of grain. Cherrywood’s people clearly want to take this opportunity to draw a clear line!”

The Fox just returned from customs and reported on the materials.

However…even though they had received a large amount of materials, they couldn’t feel happy about it.

Because what awaited them was the sanctions from the International Alliance Center.

Facing this dilemma, they currently had no way to resist.

What he didn’t expect was that the Dragon King seemed to not care about this issue, and instead was leisurely sitting in a tea house, enjoying the tea and pastries served by Karen Milton and Zoey Milton.

…Could it be that the Dragon King was not worried at all?

Or did he already have a new strategy in mind?

“Hehe, tell them the materials have been checked, but a large portion is still missing! When they return everything, then they can come talk to me!”

Just then, Greg Jensen raised an eyebrow and said calmly, “Post this on the internet as well, spend a few tens of millions on an online army to create buzz; we can’t let their narrative overshadow ours!”

“Is… is that really okay?” The Fox was slightly taken aback, “But what if they manage to make up for everything? We can’t keep this up forever, right?”

The first time, perhaps they could employ an online army to pad the numbers and create chaos, but the second or third time would only reveal their insatiable greed.

“Just go ahead and do it, and as for the rest… you’ll know when the time comes!”

Greg Jensen waved his hand, offering no further explanation.

With no other choice, Fox could only proceed as instructed.

While responding, he also purchased tens of millions of cyber troops to launch a frenzied barrage of posts online:

“Really? Is this the attitude of returning what belongs to others? Since when does it make sense to keep half and return half?”

“The people of Cherrywood have such an ugly way of eating! They deserve to be bombed with nuclear weapons!”

“How dare they bring the issue of the Eight countries in Southeast to the International Alliance Center?”

“I have never seen such shameless people!”

“Keep the other half for yourselves then, it perfectly offsets the nuclear issue!”

“…”

There were nearly ten million such comments, which quickly covered the entire internet, crushing the online presence of Cherrywood to the point where it was no longer ranked.

This made the Emperor of Sakura Nation so angry he was about to explode.

“Damn it! The Dragon King’s Palace is shameless! How can they do such a thing?”

He knew very well that he had returned the materials unopened and untouched.

Yet, these people were claiming that half was still missing, clearly aiming to demand an enormous sum.

As the issue couldn’t be left unresolved, he had no choice but to reach out to the Dragonia officials, asking for a clarification.

As long as they could prove that the materials were indeed all there, the rumors from the Eight countries in Southeast would collapse.

Unfortunately… if they continued to ignore his requests, it would be clear they were siding with the Eight countries in Southeast.

“Damn it, Dragonia is in cahoots with the Eight countries in Southeast. Do we really have to pay them?”

Fuming, the Emperor called the Alliance Minister for advice.

The Alliance Minister said, “This is their last dying struggle, hmm, just agree to their demands! If it comes to it, I’ll pay the money for you!”

Since the Eight countries in Southeast had made their demands clear, lacking only half of the materials, fulfilling this requirement would naturally leave Dragon King’s Palace with no ground to stand on.

When that time comes, whoever needs to be sanctioned will be sanctioned, and whoever needs to be restricted will be restricted. They will have to honestly follow their orders.

Perhaps, they could even use this opportunity to make the Dragon King’s Palace regurgitate everything they had swallowed.

With their economic lifeline and food imports and exports cut off, during this special period of Ferocious Beasts’ rampages, what awaited them was nothing but self-destruction!

Despite a hundred reluctances in his heart, the Emperor heard these words and could only reluctantly agree.

With the Alliance Minister’s help, Cherrywood assembled another batch of materials and handed it over to the military of the Eight countries in Southeast.

“Dragon King’s Palace, the goods are now all handed over, you should have nothing left to say now, right? You’ve bombed Cherrywood Eastern Island, causing losses and harm, how do you plan to compensate for this?”

Following this, the International Alliance Center dispatched an envoy to communicate the demands of the Emperor of Sakura Nation to Greg Jensen from afar.

On one hand, it was to expose all their actions and words to the entire world and cut off any chances of deceitful behavior.

On the other hand, it was also to establish the authority of the International Alliance and to warn other nations: whoever dares to defy the treaty will face the same consequences as the Eight countries in Southeast!

Who could have known that after waiting around half a day, the response Greg Jensen gave left everyone dumbfounded.
