Chapter 2960 Twisting The Truth
Even Dr. Erebus was confused.
When he arrived at Hawen before to conduct a negotiation, the people there were very enthusiastic.
They were so enthusiastic that they wished Levi was already there with Forlevia so they could do the exchange immediately.
That was how badly they wanted the magical herbs and spiritual energy crystals.
Now that Levi had arrived, they blocked his path instead of welcoming him and his subordinates into their country immediately.
Digital God pointed at the aircraft behind and shouted, “What you want is inside there! Open the gates right now! Are you afraid that we’ll go back against our word?”
A group of Hawen citizens laughed when they heard that.
“We’re not stopping you because of that! Before you all went in, there’s something I need to discuss with you all,” the envoy said.
Thump!
Dr. Erebus’ heart dropped when he heard that. They’re trying to look for trouble.
Levi was carrying Forlevia on his back as he stared emotionlessly at the envoy. “What do you want?”
“You know about our conditions for mobilizing our national forces to cure your daughter, right?” the envoy continued.
Levi nodded. “Yes, I do. What’s up with it?”
Dr. Erebus stepped forward. “I negotiated the conditions. What’s wrong with it?”
The envoy smiled. “Well, you see, the conditions were set by our old king! He’s a bit of a fool due to his old age. Thus, he failed to convey the conditions properly.”
Dr. Erebus was speechless.
He was the one who personally negotiated the conditions, and he knew the person talking to him was speaking fluently. They expressed their conditions clearly and kept reminding him of them. He was confused as to why the envoy said the person he spoke to failed to convey the conditions properly.
Besides, the person who negotiated the conditions with him wasn’t an old man. The person was the crown prince of Hawen, a young man, not an old fool.
It was then he realized the envoy was going back against the conditions that were previously set.
Dr. Erebus immediately shouted, “You all are mistaken! The person I negotiated with was the crown prince of Hawen, not the king! He conveyed the conditions very clearly!”
The envoy and many others stared at him with fury.
They roared, “Nonsense! How dare you lie in front of us! The person who spoke to you was the old king! The crown prince didn’t do it! How can he represent a matter as important as this?”
At that moment, the crown prince of Hawen approached Dr. Erebus. “Aren’t you going too far? I don’t recall negotiating with you or even meeting you before!”
Dr. Erebus stared at the crown prince, the person he spoke to personally not too long ago, and smiled resignedly.
The matter had gotten a lot more complicated as Hawen was blatantly twisting the truth.
Since the crown prince said the negotiation never happened between him and Dr. Erebus, that meant it was time to talk about the conditions.
At least, that was how Levi was understanding the situation.
He stared at the crowd and exclaimed, “Since you all said the old king didn’t say things clearly, then tell us what you want right now! Stop wasting my time!”
Wasting his time with those people wasn’t something he wanted to do when Forlevia was still in grave danger.
He just wanted to go in and cure her.
If they dilly-dally any longer, he might just burst through the gates without caring about the consequences.
The crown prince smiled. “Very well! Let me explain things clearly to you. We can and we are willing to use our national force in order to dispel the poison from your daughter’s body. However, since we’re mobilizing so many resources and people to treat your daughter, you have to give us something of equal value in return. So, listen up! If you accept our condition, we’ll let you in and treat your daughter! If you can’t, then there’s nothing we can do about your daughter’s poison!”
Levi was in full panic mode as he shouted, “Then stop wasting time and just tell me what you want already!”
Even a blind man could tell the crown prince wanted to add more conditions to the original ones.
“Very well! The following are our conditions! We want three tons of high-purity spiritual energy crystals and one hundred high-quality magical herbs! We’ll do a live inspection first! If the materials passed the inspection, we’ll let you go in! The experts we’ve gathered to cure your daughter’s poison are already waiting inside!” The moment the crown prince finished speaking, the air froze.
Levi and the other two were stunned.
It really was a daylight robbery.
That additional condition flabbergasted them so completely that they fell silent.
