927 All Out Killing (1/2)

Chapter 927 – All Out Killing

Before leaving, Zi Luolan had obtained Ouyang Shuo's instruction to act strong on the negotiating table.

Since the Mediterranean Lords sought out Kalia for help, Zi Luolan naturally kept her hand. Not only did she reach the negotiation goal, but she also returned Queen Kalia a favor.

It seemed like the Mediterranean Lords would show more respect to Queen Kalia in the future for just this alone.

Zi Luolan letting go made the negotiations progress really quick, and they were quickly about to settle on the specifics. Unexpectedly, just as the two sides were about to sign the contract, the Great Xia negotiation squad received an emergency letter.

The letter brought with it a decree from the king; the contents were simply, 'Caesar is not within the negotiation parameters. All ports of the dynasty will not be opened to Caesar.'

When Zi Luolan saw that, she rubbed her head, ”This condition... it's so good!”

During the negotiation process, the one who stirred up the most problems and had the most hatred for Great Xia was the arrogant Caesar; it had made Zi Luolan really annoyed.

If one asked who the most annoying Lord in the Mediterranean was, it would definitely be Caesar.

During the Battle of Somalia, Great Xia had faced problem after problem, and Caesar even openly announced, ”The Great Xia losing is karma.”

Now that the Great Xia had achieved a complete victory, the one who got karma was not Great Xia but Caesar.

”Let's see how you lose face tomorrow.” Zi Luolan was gleeful and she felt really good.

...

Atlantis City, meeting room.

This morning, both sides had gathered in the hall. They were ready to sign the final trade agreement.

The Great Xia negotiation team was gathered while the Mediterranean Lords had sent out Henry, Casillas, and Caesar.

Henry was the representative of the Mediterranean Lords.

The difficult negotiations had finally come to an end, so both sides were feeling really good. Even Caesar had kept his ugly face, and he had started joking around with the other Lords.

Without a doubt, this trade agreement would affect all the territories in the Mediterranean, and Caesar was naturally no exception. Only with money could Caesar fulfil his ambitions.

Before this, he acted so forceful during the negotiations because he wanted to gain more than Henry and the others; he was just greedier.

In the end, Caesar was not a foolish person.

Caesar's animosity toward the Great Xia Dynasty and biasness against Ouyang Shuo was just racism. Being a descendant of the ancient Roman Empire, he was not used to the yellow skinned people being powerful.

Kalia acted as the witness to hold the signing ceremony.

At the start, the atmosphere was still really friendly. After they introduced the representative of both sides, Zi Luolan smiled and say, ”Before we sign, I am representing Great Xia in announcing a matter.”

”Please speak!”

Kalia felt weird because this was not in the original progression.

Henry and the others all felt their hearts jolt, 'Does the Great Xia want to go back on their words?' Along with Somalia being destroyed, Great Xia held total power over this negotiation.

Caesar jumped out and frowned, ”One must stick to his words.”

Zi Luolan looked over to Caesar, ”My king decrees that the negotiations with the Mediterranean states do not include Caesar City.”

”What did you say?” The moment Zi Luolan's words landed, Caesar exploded. His eyes were sharp like they could kill. This matter had totally caught him off guard.

Zi Luolan was expressionless, ”The Great Xia merchant ships will not stop at Caesar City port. Similarly, our ports will not be opened to Caesar City. Is that clear enough for you?”

”You are going too far!” Caesar raged.

Zi Luolan, ”Due to the things Lord Caesar has been releasing, the Great Xia does not feel there's a need to continue cooperating.”

”....”

Caesar was stunned. His face flushed red, and he had nothing to say.

The other Mediterranean Lords were stunned by the sudden actions of Great Xia. Only after listening to her explanation did they understand the reason.

Everyone knew about the statements that Caesar had published regarding Great Xia.

Caesar probably would not have dreamt that he would lose such immense interests because of those words he said at the top of his head. Basically, without the cooperation of Great Xia, the Caesar city merchants could not reach the east.

This was a catastrophic defeat for his voyage trading.
