At the dining table, Tang En yawned lazily.
Fiona, Tina, and Marlene looked at him strangely.
"Are you tired? Eat more. "
Tina was very considerate as she brought a bowl of porridge to Tang En.
"I am indeed tired …"
Tang En sighed. "Thank you, Tina."
"You're, you're welcome."
Tina returned to her seat with a red face. She ran her fingers through her long hair and stole a glance at Tang En. Then, she glanced at Vanilla and Coco who were beside her.
She really couldn't tell that the two of them were so powerful that they could make His Majesty so tired …
"Looks like you need to nourish yourself more. You've been so 'tired' these few days."
Fiona looked at Tang En with a faint smile. She was still a little dissatisfied. It was already like this, yet he didn't look for her. Instead, he looked for the two cat-eared girls?
What was worse was that last night, she was looking forward to re-watching the exciting scene from that day, but the Photostone was actually blank!
Yes! Empty! White! White!
Fiona was conflicted for almost the entire night. She repeatedly checked the Photostone, but in the end, she realized that there was nothing wrong with the Photostone.
That was simply a blank Photostone that had not been used yet!
In other words … Either Marlene didn't do as she said, or someone switched it midway!
Fiona carefully recalled the situation that day. After careful investigation, she easily locked onto the suspect.
Tang En.
That's right. Only he had the opportunity and motive to switch the Photostone!
This bastard!
"It's alright. It wasn't too tiring."
Tang En, who was wolfing down his food, did not understand the meaning behind Fiona's words. He said vaguely, "But last night was really tiring."
Fiona said meaningfully, "Dealing with two is definitely more tiring than dealing with one."
"Yeah, if there was only one, it wouldn't be so tiring."
Tina and Marlene's faces were almost buried in their chests as they listened to their conversation. Seriously, these two could actually discuss such a topic so calmly. Vanilla and Coco were obviously the center of the discussion, but they just buried their heads in their food and didn't react at all. Could it be that they didn't know how to be shy?
— Oh, right, the Orcs are generally indifferent to such things, so it's normal for them to have such a reaction …
The accidental conversation caused everyone's train of thought to wander. Perhaps only Elijah, who was sitting there feeding Winette spoonful by spoonful, wouldn't be distracted.
After a long time, Tang En put down his bowl and chopsticks and let out a long sigh. "It feels good to have a full meal."
"Who asked you to not know how to control yourself and always mess around?"
Fiona scolded him in a low voice, "Although I know you like that kind of thing very much, you have to be moderate."
"Who would like that!"
Tang En smiled bitterly. "If it wasn't for our future, I wouldn't care so much!"
For, for our future?!
Fiona's eyes widened. Her brain was about to stop working!
For their future, he was going to have sex with the Orcs? Was that even possible?
"I don't seem to understand what you're saying …"
"So, the Ryan Empire is also a vast market. Since our hot pot chain has been tested in the Irus Empire, it's completely feasible to expand to the Ryan Empire, right?"
Tang En turned his face sideways and let Tina wipe his face with a hot towel. He took out a stack of paper and handed it to Fiona. "This is the recipe for the hot pot base that I promised you. I stayed up late last night to make it. For the three delicacies hot pot base and mushroom soup base, there are some things that you might not be able to find, but if you can find something similar, you can substitute them. Anyway, let's give it a try."
Fiona was stunned. "What? The recipe for the hot pot base? "
"Yes."
"That's what you've been talking about?"
"What else did you think it was?"
Tang En looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Didn't you guys give me some suggestions last night? So I stayed up late last night to recall the general ingredients of the two recipes. Although I can't completely restore them, the taste should be roughly the same … "
Fiona's face turned red. "You're just recalling the recipe. Is it that tiring?!"
"What do you think?! I'm not a professional chef! Do you know how many brain cells I used last night to recall the ingredients in the hot pot base? It almost killed me! And seeing how expectant you were, I really don't want to disappoint you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have worked so hard last night! "
Tang En felt very wronged. He had already done his best, but what was wrong with these guys? They were all looking at him as if they had seen a ghost?
They were wrong!
They were all wrong!
Fiona, Tina, and Marleen were all extremely embarrassed. They thought that Vanilla and Coco had already entered Tang En's room. With Tang En's personality, how could he let go of the two cat-eared girls that were sent to his mouth?
They didn't expect him to really let them go. Or was it because he had been having sex so frequently recently that he was mentally and physically exhausted?
Fiona's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he really couldn't do it?
Absolutely not! Her sexual happiness for the rest of her life … Her happy life was all on him. If he couldn't do it, what would she do?
It seemed like there was a need to do a check-up for him. She also had to pay more attention to his diet.
"I understand. You've been working too hard."
Fiona took the recipe and looked at the pictures on it. She nodded and said, "I'll arrange for people to search for these spices as soon as possible. If the brewing is successful, we'll immediately start to form a specialized supply team and start to provide this hot pot base all over the country."
"This kind of thing is fine. Just find someone to take care of it. It's better for you to focus on the development of the west."
The priority of this matter was very obvious. The hot pot chain was just a way to make money. But now, making money didn't have much meaning to them. The development of the west was the most important thing.
If it weren't for the fact that the hot pot chain could indirectly promote the relationship between the Ryan Empire and the Irus Empire, Tang En wouldn't even bother wasting his brain cells.
Fiona said, "Let's go talk to Testero later. The rest of the work can be left to the others."
"Okay."
After breakfast, Tang En, Fiona, Vanilla, and Coco all went through the teleportation circle and arrived at New Bulgarian Kathos.
"Welcome! My friends! "
Testero, who had received a call from Vanilla in advance, welcomed them with a face full of smiles. Tang En and Fiona came together, which meant that he had a 90% chance of achieving his goal.
After they arrived at the palace, they immediately began a formal discussion.
"We understand the message His Majesty conveyed to us through Vanilla. In principle, we don't wish for other countries to interfere with our internal development …"
After Fiona entered negotiation mode, her pretty face only had a calm smile of victory in her hands. There was almost no excess emotional fluctuation on her face, which made Tang En admire her very much.
Testero didn't say anything. In principle, he didn't wish for them to participate. If he really didn't want them to, he wouldn't have come. Did that mean that there was a turning point?
"But considering the friendly and cooperative relationship between your country and our country —"
Fiona purposely glanced at Vanilla and Coco, which caught Testero's attention. This could be considered as doing them a favor. Then she continued, "Based on the principle of peace and mutual benefit, His Majesty Twain and I have discussed it carefully. After deliberating for a long time, we have decided to fully open up the western region's development plan to accept foreign capital and personnel. Let us jointly develop the huge market in the Gris region."
As expected!
Testero revealed a brilliant smile, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation?"
"No, you're in too much of a hurry."
Fiona interrupted him and continued calmly, "We've made concessions and given you a portion of our benefits, but at the same time, we have some things to say. If you can't do it, then please allow us to reject your request for cooperation."
"Please speak."
"The Gris region has been a sacred and inseparable part of the Irus Empire since ancient times. After reclaiming the Gris region, we will severely punish any reactionary elements that try to divide our territory. We will set up a number of inspection teams in the Gris region to look for suspicious individuals at any time."
"That's what you should do. Of course I understand."
"Originally, this mission was relatively simple, but because we opened up this project and allowed your country's personnel to participate, it will involve a large number of people coming and going. We don't know much about your people, so during the inspection process, it is very likely that we will conduct multiple inspections. Those who pass the inspection will be required to register their identity crystal card. Those who don't have an identity crystal card will be subject to further inspection."
Fiona stared into Testero's eyes and said, "Accepting the inspection and registration of their identity crystal card is the first thing they must do. Can you accept this?"
"Of course!"
Testero didn't think too much about it and said straightforwardly, "Mana phones will be popularized soon. I think that even if it's just to use a mana phone, they will definitely register their identity crystal card."
This was going smoother than expected …
"Secondly, because the Gris region is the sovereign territory of the Irus Empire, no matter if it's a human, orc, goblin … they must obey our laws. Anyone who violates our laws will be punished according to the law, even if they are from the Ryan Empire. Can you accept this?"
"This …"
Testero hesitated for a moment before nodding and accepting.
After all, this was another country. If they were stupid enough to violate the laws of that country, there was no point in saving them. Instead, it would be a disgrace to the Ryan Empire, so he accepted.
"And then there's the third point …"
