Along with Prince Monteri's words, the royal guards who had come along also immediately got into formation towards the Giant Shark Clan. Even though the strength of the palace guards was insignificant to the Giant Shark Clan like Gerina, it would be tantamount to falling out with the Gilded Kingdom if they really laid a finger on the warriors. No matter how arrogant Greena was, he had to consider the consequences. After all, he was not like Lin Li, who did not care about his relationship with the Gilded Kingdom.
"Okay, Prince Monteri, I'll give you face today." Of course, Greena was indignant. Not only did he fail to get the Seahorse Clan slaves, he even embarrassed himself in public. How could he take it lying down? However, what could he do even if he was indignant? Just like what Prince Monteri said, this was the territory of the Gilded Kingdom, not the Red Sea of the Giant Shark Clan. The young prince of the Giant Shark Clan was not the master here, either. Could he really fall out with the Gilded Kingdom?
However, Greena did not intend to let this matter go so easily. Since he could not convince Prince Monteri, he could talk to Bradlor face to face. The Giant Shark Clan needed the Gilded Kingdom as an ally, and the Gilded Kingdom also wanted to form an alliance with the Giant Shark Clan. Greena did not believe that Bradlor would really be willing to give up the friendship of the Giant Shark Clan for the sake of the Tower of Dusk!
Greena looked past the people of the Gilded Kingdom and the Tower of Dusk to the embassy of the Tower of Dusk. Although he did not even get to see Lin Li this time, it was obvious that he had already formed a grudge, at least in his heart. It was no longer just a matter of the Seahorse Clan slaves, but also the pride of the Giant Shark Clan. Greena, the young prince of the Giant Shark Clan, was rejected at the door of the Tower of Dusk, and the two Divine Generals under him were also humiliated in public. The hatred was not something that could be resolved easily.
Prince Monteri was actually feeling rather helpless. He had long heard that President Felic of the Tower of Dusk was difficult to deal with, and this time, he really had a personal experience. No matter what, Greena was still the young prince of the Giant Shark Clan. Even if he did not want to give up the Seahorse Clan slaves for some reason, he could not possibly refuse to meet them.
After all, closing the door and refusing to see them was already extremely rude in itself, let alone sending his subordinates to block the entrance of the Colossal Shark Race. Wasn't this a blatant slap to the face of Griner and the Colossal Shark Race? President Felic first slapped the Gilded Kingdom in the face, and now the Giant Shark Clan in the face for no reason. He should really change his name to President Face-slapping.
After snorting coldly, Gerina left the embassy of the Tower of Dusk with his men. The first thing he wanted to do was to go to the palace of the Gilded Kingdom to confirm with Bradlor if all this was really his intention. If Prince Monterey was acting on his own, Greena wouldn't mind putting Monterey on the enemy's side.
After the people of the Giant Shark Clan left, Monterey turned towards the people of the Tower of Dusk, and said to Connoris and the others, "I initially wanted to meet your President, but it seems that he's very busy too. In that case, I won't disturb him any further."
Although Monterey had resolved the matter for the Tower of Dusk, he was still resentful towards Lin Li. If Lin Li's attitude hadn't been so tough, the Gilded Kingdom wouldn't have been forced to make such a difficult choice.
It was just some seahorse slaves. Many forces of the Endless Ocean had studied them for so many years, yet they couldn't come up with any results. So what if they were given to the Giant Shark Clan? Anyone would know what to do in exchange for a good impression of the Giant Shark Clan by giving them a bunch of useless slaves. However, President Felic was different from ordinary people. He would rather offend the Giant Shark Clan than lower his head.
I really don't know what he's thinking! Monterey shook his head helplessly, and was no longer in the mood to meet Lin Li. Hence, he left the embassy with the royal guards.
On the other hand, after Gerina left the embassy of the Tower of Dusk, he brought the four Divine Generals directly to the palace of the Gilded Kingdom to request to meet King Bradlor.
After Bradlor sent Prince Monterey, he had been waiting in the palace for the outcome of the matter. When he heard the report that the young master of the Giant Shark Clan, Gerina, had requested to meet him, he knew that the matter should have ended as he hoped. However, immediately afterwards, he had a headache. Although he didn't have to deal with the disrespectful President Felic, would Gerina be easy to deal with?
Of course, Bradlor couldn't just reject Gerina like Lin Li did. After all, his attitude represented the attitude of the Gilded Kingdom. Rejecting the young master of the Giant Shark Clan would be akin to declaring war on the Giant Shark Clan.
Besides, Bradlor knew that Gerina had to be extremely displeased at this moment, and he had to find a way to vent his displeasure lest it negatively affect the relationship between the Gilded Kingdom and the Giant Shark Clan.
Soon, under the guidance of the palace guards, Gerina arrived in front of Bradlor alone. After seeing Bradlor, Gerina first bowed to Bradlor according to diplomatic etiquette, and then eagerly asked, "Your Majesty, there's something I hope to get a clear answer from you. Did Prince Monterey get your authorization for what he did today? Did he represent your intention?"
Gerina's tone was a little harsh, and he was somewhat interrogative. He immediately asked if Prince Monterey had been instructed by Bradlor. In fact, on the way here, after the anger in his heart subsided a little, he already had an answer to this question. However, that also made him even more displeased. I wanted to stand up for the Gilded Kingdom, but you came out to stop me. Is the Gilded Kingdom really a bunch of wretched wretches?
Bradlor could hear the resentment in Greiner's heart, but what could he do? He could only smile faintly, and gestured for Gerina to sit down before saying, "Young Master Gerina, you're the young master of the Giant Shark Clan, and the future leader of the Giant Shark Clan. Such an identity will definitely prevent you from doing whatever you want. I believe you've also learned a little about the strength of the Tower of Dusk just now, but that's only a small part of the Tower of Dusk's strength on the surface. "
"So what? It's just a small Tower of Dusk. So what if they bring out all their strength? I heard that the relationship between the Tower of Dusk and the Gilded Kingdom doesn't seem to be harmonious. You can tolerate their impoliteness, perhaps because you have some ulterior motives, and that's none of my business as an outsider. However, I can't tolerate his contempt for me and the Giant Shark Clan. So, I hope you can give me an explanation as to why you let Prince Monterey do that. " Gerina was in a bad mood, and his words were naturally filled with sarcasm. He told him about how the Gilded Kingdom had been humiliated by the Tower of Dusk.
There was a saying that went, "Don't hit people in the face when you hit them, and don't expose their shortcomings when you scold them." What Gerina said was obviously exposing Bradlor's shortcomings. Bradlor initially planned to persuade Gerina to not provoke the Tower of Dusk again, but he didn't expect Gerina to be so ungrateful. His face immediately turned sullen, and he calmly said, "Young Master Gerina, you just have to know that I'm not doing this for the Tower of Dusk, but to help you! Okay, regardless of whether you understand or not, this is all I can say! "
Bradlor's words made Gerina swallow the rest of his words. It was as good as asking him to leave. After saying those words, Gerina already regretted it a little. As soon as he heard that Bradlor didn't want to continue the conversation, he had no choice but to stand up and leave in displeasure.
Gerina didn't believe what Bradlor said about helping him. However, he had his concerns, after all, and didn't want to fall out with the Gilded Kingdom here. Although the seahorse slaves were very important to him, he couldn't tell them the reason, after all. Hence, he had no choice but to give up for now. However, he already had a plan in mind. As long as he had a chance to run into the Tower of Dusk next time, he would definitely settle the score with them.
Gerina left the palace in a huff, and was about to return to the Red Sea Palace of the Giant Shark Clan with his subordinates outside the city. However, before he could walk far, he heard someone calling him. He turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, and realized that it was Cantory, who was known as the leader of the younger generation of the Gilded Kingdom.
Cantory and the young lord of the Octopus Clan, Harquess, had a good relationship, while Harquess and Gerina didn't get along well. However, Cantory and Gerina were friends. In short, they had their own friends. Anyway, making friends was not like marrying a wife. Even if he married a wife, it was impossible for his wife not to have a male friend, let alone just make friends.
Hence, although he was rather displeased, Gerina still stopped, and looked at Cantory. "Oh, it's you. Why didn't you go with that soft-bodied reptile to spread ink everywhere today?"
The derogatory term "soft-bodied reptile" was used by Gerina to scold Harquess. At the same time, it was also used by the Giant Shark Clan to scold the Octopus Clan. For example, the people of the Octopus Clan also called the Giant Shark Clan "blind" because no matter how tall and strong the Giant Shark Clan was, their eyes were like sesame seeds and mung beans.
The Octopus Clan was good at drawing mageweaths, just like the scholars of the Sea Clan. The Giant Shark Clan dominated the ocean because of their innate divine power, so they could also be called the warriors of the Sea Clan. Scholars and warriors had always been natural enemies, and it was the same for the humans and the Sea Clan.
Cantory smiled, and ignored Gerina's words. After walking closer, he said, "Gerina, I've heard about what happened today."
As soon as he heard Cantory's words, Gerina's face immediately turned sullen. What happened today was rather embarrassing for Gerina, and Cantory's sudden mention of it was like rubbing salt on his wound. Gerina was already in a bad mood after coming out of the palace, and now, he was even more annoyed. He immediately said in an unfriendly tone, "Cantory, are you here to laugh at me?"
Cantory hurriedly waved his hand and stopped smiling. "Don't get me wrong, I'm not qualified to laugh at you. You have no idea how arrogant and domineering President Felic is. I've experienced it more than you do. "
Gerina was about to fall out with him, but after hearing Cantory's words, he couldn't help but be stunned. He sized Cantory up, and said, "Are you talking about the two incidents in the Gilded Kingdom? Even your king doesn't care, so what does it have to do with you? "
Gerina was naturally referring to the matter of the Fifth Fleet and the garrison of the royal guards of the Gilded Kingdom, which could definitely be considered a humiliation to the Gilded Kingdom. However, Bradlor was the one who had been slapped in the face. Although Cantory's status was not low, he had not reached that level yet.
"You have no idea, but my dealings with Felic are not limited to the time he came to the Gilded Kingdom." Cantory shook his head, and then told him about how rude Lin Li was at the negotiation table during his trip to the Breezy Plains. However, he did not mention the matter of Cage Island. After all, it was related to his huge fortune.
After listening to Cantory's story, Gerina immediately felt that they were in the same boat, and the coldness on his face soon faded. He said, "So that's the case. I really don't know what Bradlor is thinking. He actually tolerated such a person time and time again."
"Ah, after all, His Majesty has to consider the interests of the entire kingdom, so there are some things that he can't do as he pleases even if he wants to," Cantory said with a sigh as if he was very understanding. He had already told Gerina about the so-called interests of the Gilded Kingdom, and it was nothing more than the Gilded Kingdom wanting to develop towards the Breezy Plains without causing a war.
That made Gerina a little puzzled. According to Cantory, the Gilded Kingdom would be able to benefit from it if he killed Felic. Why did Bradlor want to stop him? At the thought of this, Gerina brought Cantory to the Red Sea Palace outside the city while asking, "In this case, if I get rid of Felic for you, wouldn't you be able to develop towards the Breezy Plains without any worries?"
"But this is the Gilded Kingdom, and they are guests invited by His Majesty. If something happens to them here, the reputation of the Gilded Kingdom will definitely be greatly affected. By then, not only will the forces of the Breezy Plains no longer trust the Gilded Kingdom, but other forces with ulterior motives will also definitely make a big deal out of this. " Cantory sighed helplessly, but hinted to Gerina that as long as he chose the right place, the Gilded Kingdom would not stop him from dealing with the people of the Tower of Dusk.
Cantory originally wanted Harquess to help him deal with Lin Li, which led to the matter of the Sea Gift Market and the secret trader market. However, although he could not figure out what exactly happened, he could vaguely feel that Harquess seemed to be avoiding meeting Lin Li intentionally or unintentionally.
