In the Great Qian Dynasty, Qin Ze, who transmigrated and became the son of the Tiger Might General, was cast aside by the Empress after she used him, stripped of his military power, and enfeoffed t...
The usually eloquent Isabella was rendered speechless, and only then did she belatedly realize that she had fallen into a trap set by the sharp-tongued Emperor of Yan.
This left her speechless, because any rebuttal she offered would be a rebuttal of her own country's actions.
Seeing Isabella's silent demeanor was quite amusing, so Qin Ze seized the opportunity and continued:
"What's wrong? You seem reluctant."
Isabella's face darkened, but she still said, "I don't want to see any conflict between our two countries."
"And I think you think so too. You just started a war with the Delta Federation Empire, so I suppose..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Ze interrupted, "I remember already telling you that the war is over."
"Don't you believe me? Or do you need me to tell you again?"
Isabella forced a smile: "I believe you, of course I believe you. You've already confidently led your troops to conduct military exercises in our territorial waters, so you've naturally moved on from that war."
Qin Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Let's not change the subject and get back to the important matter at hand."
"Your Sasiri Kingdom has been wreaking havoc and expanding its territory all over the world, seizing profits for your homeland. Those who have had their interests taken from you, even if they resist, have been eliminated by you in a bloody manner. I don't think this is just my opinion."
"This is an indisputable fact."
These words completely tore away Isabella's usual pretense. Her face visibly paled, and her exquisite makeup seemed to have faded considerably.
Eddington and Foreign Secretary Malcolm, standing nearby, were equally silent, even hanging their heads like defeated roosters.
In fact, in the past, anyone who dared to make such accusations would not have had a chance to speak, but nowadays, in front of this gun on the table, no one dares to make unreasonable claims.
Qin Ze leisurely scanned the three faces one by one, finally turning to Sheng Luren beside him and saying:
"You did it too, didn't you?"
Upon hearing this, Depardieu was taken aback: "Wh...what?"
Qin Ze repeated, "You did this kind of thing too."
Foreign Minister Tess hurriedly interjected, "No...we..."
Qin Ze raised his hand to interrupt: "Don't try to argue."
“You guys definitely did it.”
As he said this, Qin Ze glanced at Lucart, who quickly lowered his head. In fact, earlier, he had already told Qin Ze everything, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.
The reason for this is that Lucat firmly believes that only by being frank enough can one gain the trust of others.
Seeing that everyone was silent and their faces were extremely pale, Qin Ze said again:
"I think the reason you dare to so recklessly infringe on the interests of other countries is because you lack rules."
"It is precisely because there are no rules to restrain them that they act recklessly..."
At this point, Qin Ze gripped his gun, tapped the table with the barrel, and said in a deep voice:
"Now, we need to establish a rule that will govern your behavior."
"how?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tess nodded immediately: "I have no objection."
Following his words, Lucat and Depardieu chimed in like chicks pecking at rice, "We have no objection to the promotion of Lucat."
Qin Ze then looked at Isabella.
Isabella, who had been silent all along, slowly opened her lips, as if taking a deep breath, and looked at the gun in Qin Ze's hand, saying:
"I think... it's possible to establish a set of rules."
Qin Ze asked, "So, you agree?"
Isabella gave a rare wry smile: "Could I possibly disagree?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ze brandished the gun in his hand with a serious expression and said:
"Of course you can disagree; it's all up to you to make your own decision."
"You're not trying to say I forced you to do it, are you?"
"There are no bullets in my gun, and I didn't point it at your head."
"Right now, it's like the pearl necklace you're wearing around your neck—just an ornament."
"You adorn yourself with pearl necklaces to make yourself look radiant, while I hold this gun simply because it gives me confidence. Men need things like that."
Looking at the gun waving in Qin Ze's hand, Isabella's expression was complicated as she said:
“You’re right, I agree. This was definitely not something I was forced to do.”
"No country can force our Sasiri Kingdom to do something it doesn't want to do."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ze raised an eyebrow and smiled, "As expected of the renowned Queen Isabella, she truly possesses extraordinary courage and boldness."
Isabella could no longer laugh. In fact, during their conversation, she had already anticipated what kind of "rules" the Yan Emperor would propose.
This "rule" is absolutely disastrous for the country itself.
But in the current situation, this man is like this gun; whether it's loaded with bullets or not, its destructive power needs no further proof.
However, as long as the bullet is not fired, any rules are acceptable.
Based on this, she forced a smile and said, "Compared to you, I am unworthy of such praise."
"Your seven-day war has truly opened my eyes."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ze grinned and asked, "What seven-day war?"
Isabella explained, "It's what you started these past few days..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Ze stood up and said to the guards below the stage, "It's almost time. Take all irrelevant people out!"
"Next, we will establish a new world order, new rules!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards did not hesitate at all and immediately began to drive away the Sunlu and Salv people who were listening in the audience.
No one at the conference table objected to Qin Ze's actions, and after he made this statement, everyone's expression turned serious.
Meanwhile, in the audience, although the Saji people were still reluctant, no one dared to object at this point, and they were immediately herded away from the banquet hall like ducks.
A moment later, apart from the security guards, only these few people remained in the huge banquet hall at the table.
Qin Ze sat back in his chair and said to Malcolm, the Foreign Minister of the Sassa Kingdom, "Where are your documents? Take them out. I'll tell you, and you write them."
Malcolm looked at Isabella with a flustered expression, and Isabella nodded expressionlessly.
Immediately, Malcolm laid out the paper, dipped his brush in ink, and nervously looked at Qin Ze.
Qin Ze's expression was serious. He gripped the gun in one hand and extended his index finger with the other, saying each word clearly:
"Listen carefully, this is the first rule."
"Effective immediately, all nations shall cease all acts of colonial expansion, and..."
