Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 970 - 372: Confrontation (2)

When he seriously pondered over this matter in his heart, he was shocked to discover.

It indeed seemed just like Chen Qiutong said, the ones suffering the greatest losses would definitely be them.

Would Great Xia go to such lengths for Zhang Beixing?

Would they?

He could not be certain.

This year, Zhang Beixing’s fame was unparalleled.

In terms of personal combat power, after several operations in Europe, he had already made a significant name for himself.

Moreover, The Ninth Bureau had begun forming a personnel training system.

It was precisely because of this that, after mutual discussions, the countries in the European alliance decided that Willpower Country would take the lead against Zhang Beixing.

Subsequently, they would provide Willpower Country with some compensation.

Someone had to take a stand.

This time, Willpower Country stood up.

They just didn’t expect Great Xia’s reaction to be so intense, without any room for negotiation.

Everyone was dumbfounded now.

Moreover, Zhang Beixing’s ability to generate profit was terrifying.

Not to mention, previously in Lanbo and Lanxi, the profits obtained from eliminating the DE Organization’s branches, including during the Neon Lower Mouth Organization incident, as well as in Wu Country, the Simoski Organization, and all those mercenary organizations.

These were all giant organizations.

The wealth they concealed was indeed immense.

The Ninth Bureau only kept a part of the wealth, the rest was all handed over.

Estimating those values has already amounted to several trillion in assets!

How much profit does their annual trade with Great Xia bring?

A few hundred billion, perhaps?

The net profit is that much, and the total transaction amount might be around several trillion.

This is just the total transaction amount; even without cooperation with Willpower Country, they could still cooperate with other countries, just earning slightly less.

The profits generated by Zhang Beixing during this period were already enough to compensate for ten or even dozens of years of not cooperating with Willpower Country.

The essence of this world is driven by profit.

When there’s not enough benefit, who cares who you are?

They won’t even bother with you.

When these things finally clicked in Yorkshire’s mind.

He truly became stuck between a rock and a hard place.

The confrontation at this moment was initially in his favor, with more people and ammunition, holding the upper hand.

Now that his mindset had changed, the situation changed accordingly.

Should the standoff really continue?

He didn’t know.

He was confused.

Could Great Xia really do what Chen Qiutong just mentioned?

Absolutely!

Although his official rank wasn’t top-notch, he was still in a relatively high position, aware of the situation.

He had studied such a behemoth as Great Xia.

He definitely dared!

Once this conclusion settled in his heart, cold sweat quickly spread across his forehead and back.

"Director Chen, we’ve dealt with each other for so many years, and I think you know my character and situation. I actually don’t want to make things difficult for you."

"But orders from above are hard to defy."

"If you have any remarks about my current behavior and actions, you can directly contact my superiors. Unlike me, you’re in a diplomatic position, a consul from a powerful nation, so you’re entitled to speak directly with my superiors."

Yorkshire softened.

Something that rarely happened.

Usually, he was tough and uncompromising, never showing leniency.

Being straightforward in conversations was already a big concession.

This time, he actually backed down.

Of course, this softening of stance was within Director Chen Qiutong’s expectations.

Seeing Yorkshire relent, Chen Qiutong didn’t immediately use his mockery skills against him, slightly sparing his dignity.

Since the man already lowered his head, one should provide a step down, don’t be overly harsh in dealings. Leave room for future interactions.

After settling the matter here, while Zhang Beixing would leave promptly, he still had more than a year to complete his tenure here.

Without delay, Chen Qiutong took out his phone and dialed.

After two or three rings, the call connected.

Clearly, though it was just dawn, the person on the other end was already awake.

With such a significant event, few could sleep soundly, much less when he was the direct person in charge.

"I’m Chen Qiutong."

"..."

Without waiting for the other side to speak.

Chen Qiutong took the initiative.

In about two minutes, he recapped his conversation with Yorkshire in the most concise manner.

Then he went silent, waiting for the response.

No one occupying a high position was a fool.

Of what he said, these cunning old foxes understood everything.

Understanding was easy, agreeing was not so easy.

"Okay, Director Chen, I understand your meaning. Please convey my apologies to Minister Zhang Beixing for yesterday’s impudent behavior. I will arrange to retract the deportation notice, which was due to staff error. Minister Zhang Beixing committed no illegal acts during his stay in Willpower Country."

"I also hope Minister Zhang Beixing enjoys his time in Willpower Country, and I hope we can clear up this misunderstanding between our two countries and maintain our friendly diplomatic relations."

"..."

Though Chen Qiutong had a smile on his face, the tone of his speech remained businesslike.

After a few casual exchanges, he hung up the phone.

Yorkshire watched him with an inquiring gaze, waiting for his response.

Instead of answering, Chen Qiutong pointed to Yorkshire’s pocket.

Hmm?

Sure enough, the next second, Yorkshire’s pocket vibrated.

"Commander!"

The moment he connected the call.

Yorkshire immediately stood to attention, showing utmost respect on the phone.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

"Yes, sir!"

"I guarantee to complete the mission perfectly!"

"Received!"

"..."

After a series of exchanges, the call finally ended.

He wore an expression of having narrowly escaped disaster.

Looking at Chen Qiutong again, his gaze was now a mix of awe and bewilderment.

"Why is our Commander reacting so significantly?"

Yorkshire was puzzled.

Chen Qiutong smiled, "What did your Commander ask you to do?"

"He asked me to..."

"Fully cooperate with your consulate and The Ninth Bureau to apprehend DE Organization’s division members in our country, whether those inside the building now or those who just escaped, they all must be caught."

"Not only caught but they should also not be brought to our bureau, but instead coordinated to be sent to the airport and transported to Great Xia."

"During The Ninth Bureau’s stay in Willpower Country, we need to ensure their safety, diet, and transportation in every aspect..."

"Essentially, I am to treat you as revered guests."

"..."

It was overwhelming.

Truly overwhelming.

Yorkshire, having worked across armed departments in Willpower Country for over twenty years,

Even if not at the top, he was still a key figure.

What scenarios hadn’t he seen?

Not even when the previous major leaders of Lijian Country visited did such a situation occur.

This showed how absurd the order was.

He recalled the Commander’s attitude before he left.

The face full of disdain that said,

"They’re just dirt-poor hicks from Great Xia; all we want is to make their lives uncomfortable!"

How long has it been since then?

Only a few hours later?

How did the world change so quickly?

Alright, alright, it seems it’s just a world where only I, Yorkshire, am left wounded.

Chen Qiutong couldn’t hold back his laughter; eventually, he laughed so hard he choked on it.

"Alright, since you’ve said so, I’ll leave first, I’ll leave this matter to you then."

"I haven’t slept well all night, and now I can finally go back for a comfortable nap."
