Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

Night falls.

In the study of Xishan Villa, soft light shines through the window, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Young Master Chu sat in front of his laptop and started the second round of negotiations with Gonzalez today.

The air is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, mixed with the occasional chirping of insects outside the window, creating an unusually peaceful atmosphere.

Young Master Chu tapped the table lightly, staring intently at Gonzalez on the screen, patiently waiting for him to speak.

"General Chu, thank you for accepting my request and stopping the Daxia army's advance."

Gonzalez's voice came from the computer speakers, with a hint of fatigue.

"Mr. State Counselor, I must solemnly remind you that we are a peace-loving nation, so I am willing to suspend our army's upcoming attack during this negotiation..."

Young Master Chu raised his eyebrows, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone became more serious:

"But if the talks break down again, then ..."

"General Chu, I understand what you mean."

Gonzalez interrupted Young Master Chu's threat and said sincerely, "I came to negotiate with great sincerity this time. I also hope that Daxia can proceed from reality. We can work together to find a solution that is acceptable to both parties and avoid unnecessary conflicts."

Young Master Chu nodded, his attitude becoming more formal: "Please go ahead, I'm all ears."

"Regarding the three conditions you proposed earlier."

Gonzalez said, visibly slowing down his speech and weighing the weight of each sentence: "After our cabinet held a meeting and discussed, we made some minor changes."

Young Master Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded gently, and remained silent, waiting for Gonzalez to continue.

"I'm very sorry, your first and second points are totally unacceptable to us, but we can discuss the third point..."

"Mr. State Counselor, I don't see any sincerity in what you just said."

Young Master Chu's face darkened. "You rejected two of the three conditions, and you still want to discuss the other one? This is simply an insult to my intelligence.

I have to wonder, do you really want to resolve the issue peacefully, or are you stalling for time and waiting for other variables to occur?"

"General Chu, please listen to me."

Gonzalez was slightly embarrassed by Mr. Chu's questioning, and quickly explained:

“As for Articles 1 and 2, they do touch upon some of our core interests. We are not rejecting them unilaterally, but it will take time and deeper discussions to find a proper way to deal with them.

As for the third point, we are in good faith to negotiate. As long as Daxia can allow us to evacuate South Korea safely and completely, we will hand over all the gold in South Korea to you for safekeeping. "

Young Master Chu's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible smile. He did not respond immediately, but picked up the teacup beside him, blew gently on the floating tea leaves, took a sip, and then slowly said:

"Your attitude is much more sincere than before. Please first tell me the results of your cabinet's discussions."

"After we deliver the South Korean gold to Daxia and complete the handover, we hope that you will allow our troops to carry their weapons and leave South Korea safely as soon as possible."

Gonzalez said in a deep voice: "As for the compensation issue in Article 2, although there is no clear evidence, you and I both know what caused the conflict on the Korean Peninsula, so we refuse to pay compensation."

Young Master Chu put down his teacup and stared at the screen sharply:

"Gonzalez, now that we've gotten to the point, I don't want to beat around the bush any further.

I can preserve your dignity and allow the 20,000 Eagle Sauce troops to evacuate South Korea intact... But you must agree to all of the third request I made this morning, and transport all the gold stored in your country from the three Asian countries to our country."

Gonzalez's eyebrows were twisted into knots. This was thousands of tons of gold, accounting for one-tenth of the entire Eagle Sauce National Bank. How could he fully agree to this?

"Your request is too unreasonable. If our country agrees to all of it, once other countries follow suit, our Eagle Sauce economy will be ruined."

Young Master Chu smiled calmly, his tone unrelenting: "Remove two of the three conditions, leaving only the last one. Do you think I can still compromise?"

Gonzalez's expression changed slightly: "This is not a compromise, it's a negotiation."

“But in my opinion, that’s the compromise.”

Young Master Chu was determined to fight for every inch of land: "Besides, this gold is the asset of the three countries of Asia and East China. It is only handed over to your country for safekeeping. We are taking back our assets. What reason do you have to make excuses?"

"This one……"

Gonzalez frowned, bit his lower lip, and his eyes flashed with complex light.

"General Chu, I can take another step back. Half of the gold from the three countries of Asia and East Asia is our country's final bottom line."

Gonzalez slowly spoke out the final result of the cabinet meeting, looking at Mr. Chu on the screen, helplessness and deep frustration flashed in his eyes.

Looking at Gonzalez who leaned back involuntarily and leaned heavily on the chair, Mr. Chu's mouth corners drew a shallow arc, and his handsome face looked even more heroic in the interweaving of light and shadow.

"Okay, it's settled. Pay the money and I'll let you go."

Young Master Chu still understood the principle that a cornered dog will jump over the wall.

If the Eagle Sauce was pushed too far and gave up the 20,000 soldiers, he would not really order all of them to shoot, and they would have to be kept as prisoners of war and fed.

Since the goal had been achieved, Young Master Chu readily agreed.

After that, he confirmed with Gonzalez that the Eagle Sauce would send a plane to deliver the batch of gold weighing 600 tons to the capital of Daxia for handover tomorrow, and then ended the video call.

Young Master Chu, who was in a good mood, sighed lightly, took a cigarette from the cigarette box on the table, lit it, and took a deep breath. The smell of tobacco mixed with the sandalwood in the room added a unique charm to this quiet night.

"what!"

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of two beautiful figures at the door of the study. Young Master Chu smiled and asked softly, "When did you two come in?"
