Chapter 2529 Intersection

The foreign ministries of the two countries fought through letters for three days. Finally, Airui City sent a diplomat who seemed to have extraordinary qualifications.

Since this matter was caused by me, I naturally had to personally receive the diplomatic envoys.

The other party didn't say any pleasantries and went straight to the point. He asked me for John Davis by name.

I didn't follow him, so I threw him a copy of the accounts.

"What is this?" the messenger asked while flipping through the pages.

"Can't you see, Your Excellency, the Ambassador?" I sneered: "This is the total value of public property that John Davis secretly withheld during the year when he took office as the general manager of the Moonlight City Hotel, and secretly transferred money to your country. The total value of funds and materials transported.”

"Nonsense!" The messenger impulsively threw the book on the table and said angrily: "You are framed and fabricated false charges against John Davis!"

"Huh, you mean it's fake if you say it's fake?" I stared at him blankly and said word by word: "Please remember your identity. You are a diplomatic envoy, not an adjudicator. I am showing you the accounts out of hope. If you can view this matter with a correct diplomatic attitude, you are fulfilling our previous commitments, rather than letting you act crazy here!"

Taking a deep breath, I said calmly: "If you are really angry, hit the wall and don't act out here."

After listening to my words, the diplomatic envoy's face, which was flushed with anger, gradually returned to his original color. He also took a deep breath and bowed: "Please forgive my impulsiveness, Mr. Elder, I didn't mean to target you. , I just don’t want any of our citizens to be treated unfairly.”

I waved my hand casually at him and said, "Okay, okay, let's stop playing word games and talk about business."

I took a comfortable position, sat on the side of the sofa, held my chin with one hand, and said calmly: "I can completely understand your difficulties. As a staff member of the diplomatic department, I had to travel all the way to the place after receiving orders from my superiors. Moonlight City, rack your brains to bring people back, otherwise you won't be able to get the job, and you might even be demoted."

"I deeply sympathize with these possible encounters, but can you look at this issue from my perspective? As an elder, when I find out that someone has evaded taxes, engaged in corruption and bribery, misappropriated public resources, and had liaisons with other countries, .Okay, just treat him as a native of Airui City, but he is currently in Moonlight City. What does it mean to take the secrets of Moonlight City out and hand them over to Airui City? Hmm. Let me think about it, ah, by the way, It’s called espionage.”

"Your Majesty the Ambassador, I would like to ask you, how did your country deal with the spies after they were caught?"

The diplomatic envoy looked gloomy and remained silent.

"Just treat it as a kind person and you don't have the heart to say it. It doesn't matter. I'm not kind. As far as I'm concerned, it's the death penalty, right? And that's not all. All his family, relatives, and friends living in the local area will also be punished. Implicated, am I right?"

". Laws are different from laws. Moonlight City is a country governed by etiquette, which is different from Airey City."

"Then I would like to ask, what is the standard used by Airui City to govern the country?"

The messenger was silent for a moment and then said one word: "Fa."

"Really based on law? Not power?"

I stared straight at the messenger.

After staring for a little longer, the envoy couldn't bear it any longer. He coughed and said, "Does it mean that the foreign elders who have lived in Moonlight City all year round are more familiar with their own country than a local like me?"

I curled my lips and shook my head: "To be honest, I am only familiar with certain parts of your country."

"What two parts?"

"Commoners and paupers."

With a chuckle, I picked up the teapot, poured a cup for the other person first, and then poured a cup for myself. I picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "To tell you the truth, I once lived in Airui City. For a long time, I lived in a civilian area, and I also lived in a slum area for a short period of time. Because of this, I am particularly aware of the dire living conditions of ordinary residents of Airui City, especially the poor. At least, I know better than you. , am I right?"

In the face of my questioning, layers of fine beads of sweat broke out from his forehead and temples, dripping down.

"Therefore, Your Majesty the Envoy, in my opinion, Airui City does not rule the country by law, but rules the country by the rights of the emperor!"

An ugly smile appeared on the messenger's face. He took out his handkerchief and kept wiping his cheeks, but he couldn't wipe it clean.

After drinking it all in one gulp, I put the tea cup down and continued to lean on the sofa and said, "But your Excellency, the envoy, there is no need to feel ashamed. In fact, not only Airui City, but also all over Zefeng Continent, how many countries can completely abide by the law? No. ! Not one! Among them, our Moonlight City is included."

"To put it bluntly, regarding this, it's not that we don't want to implement it, but that we can't implement it. After all, when the butcher's knife hangs high above the heads of loved ones, no matter who it is, they will feel pain and despair, so there is an affair."

Sighing softly, I said calmly: "Private feelings are human nature and can be understood, but we must not forget official matters at the same time."

"The John Davis matter involves business, and it's a very serious business!"

The messenger's face was condensed and his eyes were heavy.

I smiled slightly and continued: "However, the seriousness only refers to the impact it caused. As for the losses it caused, despite the huge amount, it actually did not affect the country's operations."

Hearing this, the messenger breathed a sigh of relief.

"Criminals like him who appear to be guilty of unpardonable crimes but have not actually caused serious consequences such as affecting the country's operations cannot be released on the spot if human nature is really involved."

For a moment, the messenger's eyes rolled around and he began to think of ways to rescue John Davis.

I chuckled and suddenly changed the subject, saying: "But! Moonlight City and Airui City have little intersection, and they are not allies. I really can't think of a reason why I should accept this favor, and at the same time, I don't want to accept this favor. Quite simply, Airei City and I don’t have a good relationship.”

The envoy was immediately shocked by my words. He never expected that I would openly mix personal grudges into diplomatic talks.

He pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty Elder, this matter involves the relationship between the two countries. I advise you not to be rash."

"Relationship between the two countries?"

I lightly clasped the armrest with my index finger and said softly: "Your Excellency, Ambassador, could you please tell me about the relationship between Moonlight City and Airui City? It will also give me some insights."

The messenger was immediately speechless.

What could he say?

What else could he say?

From the establishment of Airui City to the present day, throughout the more than a thousand years, except for the initial joint fight against the monsters that rushed out of the dungeon, there is almost no intersection at the diplomatic level or in other fields.
