In the Dustin Palace.

The decoration style is dazzling with golden light.

Luxurious atmosphere permeates the air.

The nobles in the kingdom came here after receiving the news, and some of them looked a little strange.

Nothing else, because every time a palace meeting is held, their King is going to cause trouble for them.

All this ended when Dustin Cody came here. Many nobles greeted him politely, as if this one was the king.

"Your Majesty."

"Prince Cody, you are here..."

At least a quarter of the nobles moved forward with smiling faces.

As for the rest, they were either silent or watching outside.

Waiting for the person you are looking forward to to arrive.

"kindness."

Dustin Cody had a cold face and his condescending attitude was obvious.

The nobles swung their arms and followed him obediently.

And his bodyguard stared at the people around him with cold eyes.

I was a little disappointed when I didn't find Dustin Teach.

One of the guards was the one-eyed Jason.

After Dustin Cody arrived.

Hill Cote was also present, along with her old father.

Hill Dean, the military minister of the Dustin Empire.

This one is very stylish.

A large group of people followed to greet him, and there were quite a few people following him. Even Dustin Tika and Tiqi's younger brother were among them.

Another force came here, and the pressure on the remaining silent aristocratic officials was a bit too great.

Looking around from time to time, where is their king.

In total, they belong to the king's faction. Anyway, the king listens to whoever he wants.

Others are from the Devers faction. Now that Devers is not here, they are also under a bit of pressure.

A small kingdom with many factions.

Dustin Cody took a look at Hill Dean and others.

The two of them did not say hello, and each stood aside.

After seeing that all the people had arrived.

Dustin Cody asked, showing slight dissatisfaction.

"Where's my good nephew?"

"You haven't arrived yet, so you really don't take us seriously."

Now he is full of confidence, and he has a big pirate with a reward of 5000 million by his side.

And his secret collaborator.

The king and the Hill family will all be destroyed.

This wave, I have the winning ticket and the advantage.

"His Majesty the King has something to do. As ministers, it's okay for us to wait. If the Prince is busy, you can go back first."

Hill Dean smiled.

Although he is in charge of the military, he does not look fierce at all, and his smile is actually a bit gentle.

Because the old man has white hair and a beard, and he wears glasses due to myopia, he looks like a man of literary talent.

Normally it should be a civil servant.

Dustin Cody hasn't said anything yet.

Another person came outside the hall, it was Di Qi who came with people.

The number of people was a bit small, except for the mosquito girl Lena, there was only Nia.

Two people followed him on the left and right, a bodyguard and a maid.

This posture looks shabby.

Not as good as those ordinary nobles.

"Everyone is here."

Looking at a group of nobles waiting to be slaughtered, Dustin Diqi smiled.

This smile is not a good smile in the eyes of others.

Because he also smiled like this during the previous few palace meetings.

Then he killed people when they needed to, and ransacked their homes when they needed to.

"I haven't spoken for any reason. It sounded quite lively just now."

"Especially Uncle Cody, that voice is very obvious. Tell me if you have anything."

He looks like a good kid, without any royal prestige at all.

But it made Dustin Cody uncomfortable.

If Di Qi was a simple person, he would have taken over this country long ago.

We still need to wait until now to have support before taking action.

"Your Majesty the King, let's get down to business first."

"If you come to us like this, nothing will happen."

Dustin Cody looked serious.

He directly revealed what happened before, which was very disrespectful.

He wanted to see what Di Qi was going to do this time.

Maybe the place has means, and he wants to kill the other party when he is most proud.

Establish your own prestige.

As soon as these words came out, the pressure on those officials and nobles who obviously had problems increased.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

"This first thing has something to do with uncle."

"Let me tell you directly. It seems that not a penny of tax money has been paid to the two islands that my uncle is in charge of this year."

"And you have submitted several requests in succession, asking the palace to allocate funds to you. What's going on?"

With a wave of his hand, the waiter next to him immediately brought a chair over and asked Di Qi to sit down.

Everyone else was just standing, so it was a bit disrespectful for him to sit down.

But he is the king.

This is their status gap.

Dustin Cody looked at Diqi sitting in front of him, feeling a little unhappy.

And when I heard about this, I felt even more unhappy.

Because of the island thing, haha. .

Not only does the Twin Islands belong to him, but the throne also belongs to him.

“Both Kaaba Island and Carl Island have had a bad year, so there is no way to pay taxes.”

"Many residents on the island have reached the point where they cannot afford to eat. Even if I have allocated funds for assistance, it is still not enough. Therefore, I hope that the palace can pay attention to this issue and allocate funds to allow them to eat."

Dustin Cody introduced.

Talk nonsense with your eyes open.

There may be people on the island who don't have food to eat, but it's impossible without funding and taxes.

Some of the nobles next to him had already heard what Cody meant and were snickering a little.

I want to see what Di Qi will do.

"Oh, so that's it. The people can't have enough to eat. This is indeed my problem as the king."

"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Cody."

Di Qi looked up as if he had thought of something.

Before anyone else could react, he looked to the other side.

"Mother, is this the same over there? I remember that the two islands you are responsible for did not pay taxes."

He still had such a gentle smile, making it hard to tell what his attitude was.

But with these successive questions, people with a little bit of thinking would already feel that something was wrong.

Hill Dean did not speak. Instead, he looked at his daughter, a woman who still retained her jewels and charm.

The aristocratic aura was very obvious, and when he looked at Di Qi, his phoenix eyes were a bit fierce.

But I still answered it well.

"Residents on the island are really having a hard time recently."

Here, it’s not as if she doesn’t want to pay taxes.

Not convinced by him as a king.

I originally thought the other party would be angry.

But no one expected that Dustin Diqi's tone was still very friendly.

"It's really hard for you to leave such an island to your mother and brother. This is all my fault."

He also started to admit his mistake.

When everyone looked weird, Dustin Teach continued to speak.

And these words made many people's expressions change.

"Then these four islands will be returned to the palace's management. I will give you [-]% of the future profits."

"Don't worry, even if it's only [-]%, it's still much more than it is now."

With a gentle smile on his face, he looked at the nobles around him.

But these words are meant to rob their property.

Although this island is said to be managed by the prince and royal family representatives.

But in fact, the nobles here have a share in the business and industry.

If you think about it this way, you have to draw blood from them.

The faces of everyone present were already ugly.

If the people from the palace really take over, I don’t know what will happen. .
