Rogge didn't know if it was his own misperception, but he felt that the peace agreement between Xandar and the Kerry Empire this time was not normal from the inside out.
The Nova Supreme gave him the same feeling, and the Kerry Empire gave him the same feeling.
But on the surface, it seemed that both sides were indeed looking forward to the signing of the peace agreement.
The ambassador of the diplomatic mission was talking enthusiastically with the representative of the Kerry Empire, as if they were old friends reuniting after not seeing each other for a long time.
Rogge didn't care too much about the conversation between the ambassador and the representative of the Kerry Empire. His gaze was on Rothschild who was standing next to the representative of the Kerry Empire.
Although only half a month had passed, the current Rothschild showed a completely different attitude compared to when he was on Sakar.
If he hadn't dealt with Rothschild before, Rogge would have thought that Rothschild was a rising political star of the Kerry Empire just by looking at his current appearance.
Although Rogge was standing behind the diplomatic mission in a low-key manner, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
But sometimes, the development of things was completely opposite to one's plan.
"I didn't expect that after parting on Sakar, Mr. Rogge would actually join the New Star Corps and accompany the diplomatic mission to the Kerry Empire.
"Last time, I left in a hurry and didn't have time to say goodbye to Mr. Rogge. I hope Mr. Rogge won't blame me."
Rogge didn't take the initiative to look for Rothschild, but Rothschild took the initiative to look for him and said in a respectful tone.
What the hell does this guy want?
Does he want to take revenge for what happened on Sakar?
Rothschild's arrival completely broke Rogge's low-key plan, making him suddenly the focus of attention.
If it was any other time, Rogge wouldn't mind being the focus of others' eyes, but now, it went against his plan.
Before Rogge could say anything, whispers could be heard all around him.
"So he's the Fourth Hokage Rogge who defeated Ronan the Accuser."
"When did he join the New Star Corps? Why didn't we receive any relevant information?"
"The Fourth Hokage who defeated Ronan the Accuser is one of us?"
"He's actually a first-class military officer of the diplomatic mission. I don't remember his name being on the diplomatic mission's list?"
…
It wasn't only the Kerry Empire that was puzzled by Rogge's appearance here. Even most of the people in the diplomatic corps were puzzled.
Although Logue's name was included in the list of members of the diplomatic mission that the New Star Legion submitted to the Kri Empire, it was only the name and identity of a first-grade military officer.
Although Rogge's name wasn't particularly common, there were still many people with the same name as him, so the Kerry Empire wasn't able to discover that he was the Fourth Hokage who defeated Luo Nan.
The reason for this was because he didn't want to embarrass the Kerry Empire on the surface.
Similarly, because it was a secret mission, not many people in the diplomatic mission knew about Rogge's identity.
Aside from the chief military officer of the diplomatic corps, Centurion Roman Day, only a few people in the diplomatic corps knew.
"Of course I won't blame you. After all, I wasn't able to visit Sir Ronan in time. I hope Sir Ronan won't blame me."
Although he didn't know what Rothschild was planning, since Rothschild took the initiative to come knocking on his door, it wouldn't be right if he didn't return the favor.
Rogge's tone was full of apology. If it was someone who didn't know the details, they would've mistakenly thought that there was some deep relationship between him and Ronan.
However, everyone present knew that the person who caused Luo Nan to suffer such heavy injuries was none other than the apologetic Logue.
After hearing Rogge's words, the ambassador of the diplomatic corps couldn't help but reveal an indescribable expression.
This Rogge had the potential to become a politician!
As a politician, the most important ability wasn't political ability, but thick skin.
Thick skin allowed one to make promises and guarantees that one didn't even believe in without batting an eyelid.
Thick skin allowed one to not care about temporary gains and losses. One could advance and retreat with a sense of propriety, slick and slick when dealing with opponents with different political views.
Thick skin allowed one to play the role of a politician that the people desired, gaining the brainless support of the people.
"Uncle is in the city right now. If Mr. Rogge is willing to take the time to meet him, I'm sure Uncle will be looking forward to your arrival."
Rothschild obviously understood the subtext of Rogge's words, but he didn't take it to heart. His tone was just as respectful as before.
"If I have the time, I will definitely pay him a visit!"
… …
On the morning of the second day, when the diplomatic mission and the Kerry Empire's representatives were about to start the negotiations on the details of the peace treaty, Rothschild personally brought people to the diplomatic mission's residence and invited Logue to the residence of the accuser, Ronan.
Although this invitation wasn't part of Rogge's plan, he was still curious as to what Rothschild and Ronan were planning.
After instructing Daisy and Pietro not to leave the diplomatic corps' residence, he brought the Northern Cool Blade and boarded Rothschild's luxurious flying vehicle, heading towards the residence of the accuser Ronan.
"Mr. Rogge, would you like some 'Azure Stardust'? This is one of the top products in the empire. Only fifty bottles are produced in a year.
"If we use new star coins to measure, then each bottle of 'Azure Stardust' costs more than a hundred million new star coins. Moreover, it's priceless!"
Sitting across from Rogge, Rothschild took out a bottle that emitted a faint blue glow from a small fridge and asked Rogge.
"Since you've said so, then I'll have some."
Rogge wasn't worried that there would be any problems with this bottle of Azure Stardust. Rothschild and Ronan weren't idiots. They wouldn't do anything to this place.
"Although uncle has lost to you twice, he doesn't hate you. Instead, he calls you a rare opponent."
Rothschild handed the wine glass to Rogge as he spoke. His face didn't show any signs of hypocrisy.
"Just listen to these words. We've all dealt with each other before. There's no need for pleasantries."
Receiving the wine glass from Rothschild, Rogge took a sip.
Although he wasn't a professional wine taster, the moment the Azure Star entered his mouth, Rogge felt a magical sensation that he had never experienced before.
It was slightly spicy when it entered his mouth, but this spiciness quickly disappeared.
What followed was a strange feeling of all sorts of tastes being activated at the same time.
When all sorts of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty flavors gushed out at the same time, Rogge's mind inexplicably imagined stars exploding. Azure Stardust filled the sky, forming a seemingly random scene that contained some sort of mysterious law.
Was this thing really wine?
