The Deadly Novelssss 1275

Chapter 1275 You Took What Was Ours, and Now You Speak So Arrogantly?

9:00 a.m., Grimvarn Isle Conference Hall.

Jethro’s delegation, as per the host’s instructions, entered the room and settled into their seats.

Shepherd, along with Dorian, the leader of the Dark Eagle group, and representatives from 20 top families, were also present.

Additionally, there were representatives from Autreyni, Kangaroth, Novaros and other island regions involved in the ongoing mediation.

Upon their arrival, Shepherd warmly greeted Jethro and his team showing great respect.

“General Quintana, we are truly grateful that you and your team have come to Grimvarn Isle today to take part in these negotiations with Divine Drakebane,” Shepherd began.

“The events that took place at Dragon Manor years ago were the result of a conspiracy, masterminded by Baird from the Dark Night Alliance.

“We were victims in this too. The past is behind us, and I hope we can all leave those unpleasant events in the past.

“Before Divine Drakebane arrives, I would like to share our position with you, General Quintana. Our goal is to reach a reconciliation with Divine Drakebane.

“We are willing to offer substantial compensation and a formal public apology to express our sincere regret for the misunderstanding that occurred 20 years ago.”

Jethro nodded slightly. “Shepherd, we’ve conducted a thorough investigation into the events of that time, and we now have a complete understanding of what happened.

“I’ll share our stance as well.

“Before Divine Drakebane arrives, I want to make our position clear, Mr. Gilkes. The mastermind behind that incident must be severely punished!

“Otherwise, this entire negotiation is pointless Shepherd’s eyelid twitched in reaction. “General Quintana, we are here today with the utmost sincerity-”

Jethro cut him off, his tone unwavering. “Mr. Gilkes, the meeting has not yet officially begun. Once Divine Drakebane arrives, we can discuss this matter further.

“What I just said represents our position.

“We will not proceed with the actual negotiations until Divine Drakebane is present.

“In the meantime, I must bring to your attention that the business fleet under the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance has recently been engaging in aggressive actions in our eastern waters. This is something we strongly disapprove of.

“If such incidents continue, we will reserve the right to take the most severe measures against any provocation of our borders.

“It’s not just you or the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance. Any group or organization, anywhere in the world, that dares to challenge us will face the same response ”

At that moment, Shepherd’s assistant quickly approached and whispered something into .

Shepherd’s eyes briefly gleamed with a sharp intensity “General Quintana, I need to step away for a moment. ll be back in two minutes.

“We still have 15 minutes before the official start of the meeting. I trust you’ll understand and support the proposal I just put forward.”

Without waiting for Jethro’s reply, Shepherd leaned in and speak briefly with representatives from Autreynia, Kangaroth, Novaros, and others. He then turned and exited the conference hall.

In his hand was crucial information passed to him through the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance’s intelligence network, and his face twisted into a cold, calculating smile.

The intelligence he had received revealed that Mecria had acquired the super weapon system.

Previously, the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance had secretly bribed certain departments within Mecria to strike a private deal.

If Divine Drakebane attempted to attack the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance, the super weapon system would be deployed to target and eliminate Robin.

Five minutes later, Shepherd returned to the conference hall.

He took his seat again, his demeanor completely altered–gone was the polite and respectful attitude he had shown earlier.

He whispered to his entourage, and then, with no further acknowledgment of Jethro and his group, Shepherd and the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance delegation proceeded to laugh and chat amongst themselves without a care.

Jethro immediately understood the change in behavior.

It was clear that Shepherd had learned the super weapon system was no longer in Robin’s possession, and this newfound knowledge emboldened him.

Jethro‘ assistant, Charlie Page, leaned in and quietly spoke. “General Quintana, we’ve received new intelligence.

“Autreynia’s fleet, along with Kangaroth’s Yaspian Ocean Fleet and several ships from Novaros, are assembling near Grimvarn Isle in the South Panacea Ocean.

“We’ve also learned that the super weapon system, previously held by Master Ramsey, is now under the control of Mecria.

“I believe this has given Shepherd and the others a false sense of security, which explains their sudden shift in behavior.”

Jethro smiled coldly. “If they think that’s the case, they’re mistaken.

“Our Four Great Fleets, along with two aircraft carrier ets and numerous submarines, are now positioned in the South Panacea Ocean.

“With such a force, we’re not intimidated by any flect no matter where it comes from.

Finished “And if Mecria really thinks it has the super weapon system, that’s nothing more than a delusion. Only fool would believe that.

“Master Ramsey is no ordinary person, and a small faction like Mecria can’t possibly force him to comply.

“Shepherd’s bribes to Mecria’s officials will only lead to his downfall in the end.”

Jethro watched as Shepherd and the representatives from Autreynia, Kangaroth, Novaros, and others laughed and chatted with complete disregard for Jethro and his delegation.

A faint smile appeared on Jethro’s face as he turned his attention to Morgan Berry, the Novaros representative.

“Mr. Berry, before Master Ramsey arrives, let’s put the negotiations with the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance on hold.

“Instead, let’s discuss your issue.”

The room went silent.

Morgan hesitated for a moment, then smirked. “General Quintana, what exactly is there to discuss?”

Jethro took a deep breath. “From a position of strength, you obviously don’t have the right to negotiate with me.

“But there is one issue that needs to be addressed. Your ships have been lingering in our waters, despite our formal warning issued a week ago.

“Today at 5:00 p.m. is the deadline for you to leave our waters.

“Please ensure your ships depart from our eastern waters immediately!”

“If you don’t leave by the deadline, we will do what it takes to defend the sovereignty of our territory.”

Morgan hesitated for just a moment, then laughed again. “General Quintana, this issue has been ongoing for a while. You have so much space; why make such a fuss?

“We never said we wouldn’t leave; we just can’t leave yet “Please be patient with us. We still need to decide when we’ll depart.”

Jethro’s response was a cold snort. “Morgan, what I’ve said is not a joke. It’s a formal warning from us!”

The room fell into complete silence.

The tense atmosphere was palpable as everyone felt the weight of Jethro and the Dracor delegation’s presence.

Morgan stiffened for a brief moment, but then laughed again.

“General Quintana, you’ve always been the advocate for friendliness and goodwill. Isn’t this a bit much, breaking the friendship between us?”

Jethro smirked. “You’re the ones who are breaking the friendship!

“I’ll say with!”

it one more time: If you don’t leave by the time we’ve set, the consequences will be yours to deal Morgan tore away his remaining politeness, his voice now cold. “Dream on! We will never leave what’s rightfully ours.”

“Is that so?” a voice rang out from the entrance.

Robin, accompanied by Simmond and Garren, entered the hall and walked toward Morgan.

“You took what was ours, and now you speak so arrogantly?”

Without warning, Robin grabbed Morgan by the hair and slammed his head onto the conference table. “Now, contact your superiors. If you don’t leave within half an hour, I’ll turn your entire fleet into scrap!”
