A tall, thin man with long hair was the first to enter, greeting the heads of the three major chaebols of Han Nation with a look of joy and familiarity. He spoke in Han language, his pronunciation perfectly standard.
"Mr. Harris, you've finally arrived," the LG chairman's previous worries vanished, and he excitedly invited them to sit.
"Haha, Chairman Gu, no need to worry! We're here, aren't we!" Harris and his group of Westerners took their seats at the long table.
The chairmen of the Samsung and Hyundai chaebols also noticed the arrogant demeanor of Han Nation's behind-the-scenes controllers and warmly welcomed them. Da Feng Novel Network.
"Haha! It's good you're here, good you're here!"
After everyone was seated, Harris introduced the other Westerners beside him to the three chaebol chairmen. "Chairman Lee, Chairman Gu, Chairman Jeong, allow me to introduce."
"These gentlemen are Mr. William, representative of the British Empire; Ms. Taylor, representative of the French Empire; and Mr. Jack, representative of the Australian Kingdom."
After Harris introduced everyone at the table, he turned to their companions behind them, all impeccably dressed in suits with arrogant expressions, and said, "These are our special security personnel!"
The chairmen of the Samsung and other major chaebols greeted them with kindly smiles.
"There's no need for further introductions; we're all old friends," Harris said with a smile, acting as if they were all on the same side. From the moment he entered, he seemed to command the entire room, and no one objected. This was solely because he was the representative of the American Empire!
What was strange was that as everyone looked around, only the chairmen of the three major chaebols appeared elderly. The Western delegation members were all around twenty, and even their guards were no older than their early thirties.
It was rare for diplomatic delegations across nations to have such young representatives.
After the three chaebol chairmen finished their greetings, the LG chairman, impatient, said, "Mr. Harris, and representatives from various countries, time is pressing and the situation is tense. Shall we get straight to the point? Once this matter is resolved, we will host a grand welcoming and congratulatory banquet for you!"
Seeing the urgency of the three Han Nation chaebols, Harris exchanged glances with the representatives of other Western countries and smiled, "That's fine, we can divide our efforts."
"Thank you, Mr. Harris, Mr. William, Ms. Taylor, and Mr. Jack," the LG chaebol chairman, most anxious, spoke first.
"We have always adhered to the principle of standing on the front line with the Western Alliance, never bowing to monsters, and upholding human dignity and the future. It is for this reason that we have offended that monster, Bai Ye."
"And now he has infiltrated our Han Nation, wreaking havoc on our stability and infringing upon our sovereignty. Han Nation is in grave danger, and we hope the Western Alliance can intervene to restrain Bai Ye. Even if you cannot kill him, please drive him out of Han Nation. To protect our..."
...the status and interests of the chaebols. The LG chaebol chairman became increasingly emotional, almost blurting out his true feelings, but quickly corrected himself, "to protect the freedom and democracy of the Great Han people!"
The Hyundai chaebol chairman nodded in agreement, stating, "The Great Han Nation is a member of the Western Alliance and urgently needs the Western Alliance's assistance."
The Samsung chaebol chairman said gravely, "If possible, I suggest the Western Alliance conduct a 'Emperor C Plan' to deter these increasingly unstable monsters!"
Playing this big? Chairmen Gu and Jeong's expressions froze, followed by a mixture of shock and excitement.
The representatives from the Western countries, who had been listening to the pleas of the first two chairmen with mysterious, proud smiles, as if watching commoners pray like gods, suddenly paused. When Chairman Lee of Samsung said these words, Harris and the others' expressions stiffened. They exchanged glances, and a hint of awkwardness flickered deep within their eyes, almost imperceptible.
"Ahem!"
Seeing Chairman Gu and Chairman Jeong about to express some excited thoughts, Harris interrupted, "Please, listen to me."
"The Western Alliance has made some adjustments to its policy regarding Bai Ye."
??? The excited expressions of the three Han Nation chaebol chairmen all froze.
"Adjusted? How?" The Samsung chaebol chairman felt a bad premonition. He spoke faster than the hot-headed LG chaebol chairman this time.
Harris smiled politely. "The Alliance has re-evaluated Bai Ye's danger level. The initial assessment of Bai Ye's S-class danger level upon his recent advancement to Catastrophe class has been overturned, and he has been re-evaluated as a stable Catastrophe-class threat, meaning S-class danger level."
Chairman Lee of Samsung's unease grew stronger, and he stared intently at Harris.
Harris narrowed his eyes and continued with a smile, "The Emperor C Plan consumes too much of the Alliance's resources and cannot be used lightly. Furthermore, the Alliance's scientific experts have analyzed that Bai Ye, unlike other Catastrophe-class monsters, is an entity with whom temporary peace and non-aggression can be maintained. This temporary peace is crucial for the Alliance because the Alliance's Emperor Plan is currently in its upgrade phase."
"Ah, shit!!" Hearing Harris's words, Chairman Lee of Samsung, unable to suppress his anger, slammed his fist on the conference table.
The other two chairmen looked bewildered, also feeling a sense of unease. The LG chaebol chairman couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Harris, could you please explain more clearly?"
Harris smiled, while Mr. William, the representative of the British Empire beside him, said coldly, "Simply put, our purpose in coming this time is not to take hardline measures against Bai Ye, but to seek cooperation and peace."
The chairmen of the LG and Hyundai chaebols were stunned. They had risked everything to offend Bai Ye, demonstrating their unwavering loyalty to the Western Alliance. But now, the Western Alliance, to which they had desperately pledged allegiance, was seeking cooperation with Bai Ye first?
What did they take them for? Dogs?
"Ah, shit!!" Chairman Gu of the LG chaebol couldn't help but curse, causing Harris and the others to frown in displeasure.
