Year 1202 of the Seven Luminaries Calendar – Early Autumn.
The opening ceremony of the Western Samuria Trade Conference jointly organized by Chairman Crossrail and CEO Fangzheng of Starlight Technology had finally arrived.
The participants were the Prime Minister of the Erebonian Empire, Gillies Osborn, and the Imperial Prince, Olivette. The President of the Calvard Republic, Samuel Locksmith. Queen Colotia von Ossiders of King Libel, and Grand Duke Albert of the Duchy of Remiphilia.
The means of transportation used by the representatives of various countries to come to Crossrail were different. Erebonia used their steel train, Calvard and Remiphilia used a motorcade, and Libel came by airship … Well, at least all kinds of transportation were used.
"Reporting, the representatives of various countries have arrived at Crossrail."
"Okay, got it."
Hearing the report, Fangzheng nodded and then looked at the pale Towa in front of him with a grin.
"You don't have to be so nervous."
"How can I not be nervous …."
Towa immediately protested when she heard Fangzheng's teasing.
"They're all big shots from various countries, including the heads of states and the Crown Princess. How can I be in charge of such an occasion? What if something goes wrong …."
"Haven't you done a good job so far?"
Looking at Towa's nervous expression, Fangzheng chuckled.
"Don't worry, everything's going well. Relax. You know what's going to happen next. When that time comes, even if it doesn't go well, no one will care about it. "
"Ah … Yes …."
Towa nodded with a complicated look, while Fangzheng stood up and tidied up his clothes.
"Okay, let's go."
Under Fangzheng's lead, the group came to the square in front of the Starlight Tower, where Chairman McDowell was already waiting. When he saw Fangzheng come out, he turned his head and looked at him speechlessly.
"I thought you wouldn't come out."
"Etiquette is necessary, but there's no need to make it too grand."
Fangzheng chuckled.
"Especially you. In any case, you're already so old. It's not good for your body to be exposed to the wind outside."
"Now is not the time for this."
Chairman McDowell let out a sigh and looked forward again.
"They're here."
At the same time, the crowd on both sides of the street cheered. Then, under the guidance of the guide cars, luxurious guided cars drove along the street and stopped in the square ahead. Then, the car door opened and the representatives of the various countries walked out.
The first people Fangzheng saw were Krose and Captain Yuria behind her. After all, they were old acquaintances. Fangzheng smiled and nodded at them. Krose also smiled and returned the greeting.
Next was the president of the Calvard Republic, Samuel Locksmith. He was a plump man with a mustache. He smiled and looked very amiable, like a businessman who made money with amiability. When Fangzheng saw the attendant behind him, he was stunned. The woman behind President Locksmith was none other than Misty Loulan from Chase's Ranger Association.
Wasn't she in charge of Chase's Ranger Association? Why is she in the Republic?
This question flashed through Fangzheng's mind for a moment. After all, he hadn't paid attention to Chase's situation for a long time. Who knew what was going on … But it had nothing to do with him anyway.
Grand Duke Albert of Remiphilia was a golden-haired middle-aged man, and he seemed to have the demeanor of a ruler.
The last to appear was Prime Minister Osborn of the Empire.
He was a serious man. Even if he didn't do anything and just stood there, he exuded a strong sense of presence. The blond retard was also wearing a royal costume. He was smiling as he accompanied the Prime Minister. How should I put it? Clothes make the man. After the retard put on his clothes, he really looked like a person.
Everyone here was experienced in politics, so they naturally knew what to say on different occasions. In fact, Fangzheng was not like that idiot CEO who hid everything behind the scenes and carried it out in secret. Whether it was controlling Crosbell, interfering with the parliament, or even arresting a member of parliament for trial, he did it openly. Perhaps in the eyes of most ordinary people, this was nothing, but for the leaders of the four countries, what Fangzheng wanted to do was clear as day.
This time, the Cissamuria Trade Conference was just a formality of an "official notice".
Although everyone knew what was going on, in front of the media and the audience, everyone maintained a warm and polite welcome. They exchanged greetings, took pictures, and greeted each other. Then, Fangzheng took a step forward.
"— Dear leaders, thank you for coming all the way to Crosbell. I would like to extend my heartfelt welcome. I am very grateful to all of you for coming to the Cissamuria Trade Conference. According to the usual practice, I should be giving a welcome speech and announcing the opening of the conference, but please allow me to take up some of your time. "
"…"
Hearing up to this point, the representatives remained calm on the surface, but there was a strange glint in their eyes. Even Olivette had a look of uneasiness in his eyes. According to the usual practice, the speech should have been delivered by the chairman of the Crosbell Parliament, McDowell. After all, from an official point of view, Chairman McDowell was still recognized by the governments of the various countries as the manager of Crosbell in a political sense.
But now, Fangzheng was giving a welcome speech as the host. This in itself was tantamount to announcing to everyone that he was the ruler of Crosbell.
Was this really okay?
Olivette originally thought that even if Fangzheng had such thoughts, he would at least care about tradition and etiquette. After all, this was in public, and the reporters of various countries were here. But what he didn't expect was that the other party would go straight to the point and act as if it was a matter of course.
"Next, please allow me to introduce to you the Pearl of Crosbell, the brightest lighthouse of the Cissamuria continent …"
As he spoke, Fangzheng turned around. Everyone also raised their heads and looked at the Starlight Tower in front of them. Although the Starlight Tower was still shrouded by a curtain at the moment, the height of the tower that soared into the sky was enough to stun everyone.
"It will become a symbol of a new beginning for this city, and an immeasurable existence for the whole continent … Next, the first skyscraper in the history of the Cissamuria continent, the Starlight Tower, will be officially unveiled!"
Following Fangzheng's command, the curtain that enveloped the Starlight Tower slowly rose in the next moment. It was as if the background of the stage was slowly revealed to the audience during the opening of a performance. The tower, which had been built for several years, finally revealed itself in front of everyone at this moment.
Although Prince Olivette already knew the power of Starlight Technology and was mentally prepared, when he saw the true face of the tower with his own eyes, he could not help but hold his breath.
In front of everyone was a five-hundred-meter-tall, azure crystal tower. The outer layer of the tower reflected the colors of the sky, giving the illusion that it was connected to heaven and earth. The golden shell and the azure crystal fused together, forming an unusually unique style. At that moment, the fountains around it suddenly began to spray water columns, connecting the sky, the earth, and the tower together.
For some reason, when Olivette raised his head and looked at the tower in front of him, he suddenly had a strange illusion. It was as if the tower was not a product of the human world, but the throne of the gods. They were sitting in it, overlooking all living beings from above the sky. Just by sitting there, the huge building gave people an indescribable sense of sacredness and oppression, especially with the tower as the center. Olivette could even see several golden rings of different sizes slowly rotating around it.
This did not seem like a technology that could exist on this continent at all.
Where did this existence come from?
Not only Olivette, but the citizens of Crossbell were also stunned by the magnificent view of the magnificent tower. For a moment, the surroundings were silent, except for the flashes in the hands of the reporters. It was not until a moment later that cheers suddenly broke out and resounded throughout the city.
At the same time, Fangzheng turned around and looked at the crowd with a smile again.
"Then, I once again announce to all the leaders and guests present that the Cisemlia Trade Conference has officially begun."
After the opening ceremony, the mission for the day was actually completed. After all, everyone had come from afar, so according to the plan, they would rest in the Starlight Tower for a day and start the official conference the next day. Of course, for the sake of safety, the Starlight Tower would not be open to the public during the Cisemlia Trade Conference.
For Towa, it was a relief that the conference had ended smoothly so far.
But for Allie, it was not the same.
"Ke … Ke, ke, Krose is actually the Crown Princess of Colotia?!"
"Speaking of which, this seems to be the first time you've heard about it."
Fangzheng clapped his hands when he saw Ai Li, who had yet to recover from her shock. After all, Krose's identity in Janis Royal Academy was a secret. Although Krose had fought alongside many people during Libel's coup, Allie and Alisa were both taking refuge in the academy at that time, so they naturally did not know about Krose's situation. After that, Krose also attended some events as the Crown Princess, but for Alisa and Alisa, she was not the heir of their country after all, so they did not pay much attention to her.
So when Allie saw Krose coming out of the car, she was completely dumbfounded. She probably did not expect that the person who had sex with her classmate in the academy would be the Crown Princess.
"Did you know all along? Mr. Fangzheng?! "
"Of course. After all, when I was a teacher in the academy, Her Majesty the Queen asked me to take care of her."
"Ah, it's such a big thing, but you didn't tell me … Well, you really shouldn't have told me."
Allie was speechless for a while. She then looked at Towa.
"Did you know, President?"
"Huh? I know. I knew about it when Mr. Fangzheng sent the invitation. To be honest, I was also shocked at that time. "
Towa nodded in response to Allie's question. But even so, Towa was still relatively calm and steady compared to Allie. After all, Allie and Alisa were both Krose's friends. As the President of the Student Council, although Towa was very close to everyone, her relationship with Krose was not as deep as Allie's.
So even if she was a little surprised, it was just a little surprised.
"I didn't expect this to happen. What should I do …"
"What do you mean, what should I do?"
Fangzheng sat in a chair and looked at Allie, who had a bitter look on her face.
"You're not going to tell me that you're quitting just because you're too embarrassed to show your face in front of your friends?"
"That's not the problem. This is a coup, you know? If Krose finds out that I'm involved in this kind of thing, how am I going to meet her in the future … "
"What do you mean by involved? You're an accomplice too."
Fangzheng rolled his eyes.
"You're the one who wants to change Crosbell's situation. You're not going to tell me that you're quitting just because of this, are you? It doesn't matter whether you do it or not. At this point, the arrow is already nocked and has to be fired. It's too late for you to regret it. "
"I'm not regretting it, I'm just … Forget it."
Allie let out a long sigh.
"Just like you said, Mr. Fangzheng, it's already come to this … So be it."
"Very well."
Hearing Allie's answer, Fangzheng nodded in satisfaction.
"Go and rest. The main course is tomorrow."
