[Tl/n: Promised Chapters (2/2)]

Ps: If we can accumulate 5k stones in a week. I'll mass release 10 chapters that day.]

"I heard that the spokesperson of the Phoenix Kingdom is Iron Man this time? Haha, let Iron Man come forward."

"Phoenix Kingdom is just a bunch of rubbish. They only dare to be tough with us on the internet. As soon as the speech comes out, I will immediately go and laugh at them."

"The country should usurp the throne again, drive down the Phoenix Kingdom's king, merge them into our country, and make the Phoenix people third-class citizens."

"..."

The nationals of Country J all looked relaxed at this time, without any burden.

This is the self-confidence of being a citizen of a strong country; no matter what the kingdom says, no matter how awesome it is, it is still a weak kingdom, after all.

What can a weak country do in the face of a strong country besides seeking peace?

Is it possible to start a war out of one's strength?

"If the kingdom asks for peace, I will smash my computer now."

"Every day, I have to endure the idiots in Country J. I can't bear it anymore! Isn't it just starting a war? I'm the first to go to the battlefield and kill those gangsters!"

"Country J is shitting on the Phoenix Kingdom's head like this; if the kingdom still chooses to endure, I will immediately leave the kingdom!"

"..."

In contrast, the Phoenix Kingdom's nationals did not give in too much.

Usually, some minor conflicts and disputes can be tolerated for a while. At most, they will complain and despise them online.

But this time, Country J not only revealed its intention to usurp the throne and seize the kingdom but also let the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs say such arrogant words.

"Why hasn't Zeke arrived yet?"

Backstage, Grace and all the elders and ministers gathered here to watch the speech through the live broadcast.

However, it was less than 10 minutes before the speech meeting, and Zeke, the speaker, was not there.

"The phone is ringing, but... he doesn't answer it."

An elder looked ugly.

Suddenly there was a commotion among the elders and ministers.

"This Zeke...does he want to escape?"

Grace frowned.

If it were the former Grace, she would definitely believe in this idea. But since the incident of usurping the throne, Grace has completely changed her view of Zeke.

Anyone can escape, but Zeke is absolutely impossible.

"Then what does he want to do..."

Grace tapped the armrest of the chair with her green fingers and fell into deep thought.

"What is Zeke doing? Yesterday, he clearly promised that he would come to the scene on time. Why is he still missing?"

"What can I do if he doesn't show up? There are less than 10 minutes left. Who of you can quickly prepare to speak up? If there is an accident in this press conference, the kingdom will be disgraced."

"I didn't prepare beforehand; why don't you go?"

"I'm a little sick; why don't you go?"

"You know, I'm getting old, and I can't stand this kind of scene. Let the younger ones go."

"..."

A group of people pushed three and four, and no one was willing to go up.

After all, it's a chore.

If Zeke were okay to say that he was Iron Man for the sake of saving the Phoenix Kingdom, the people would not blame him too much. But they are different. As soon as the words of peace were spoken, they would be criticised right away.

In the end, there was no other way. One of the ministers, who were relatively young, with good eloquence and a good reputation, was elected.

The minister sighed helplessly, stepped forward to open the door, and prepared to take the stage.

"Thank you for waiting."

Someone exclaimed.

Everyone looked at the monitor with their surprised eyes and saw that in the picture, a large screen as the background of the podium actually lit up inexplicably.

"What happened?"

"Why did it suddenly light up?"

"Who turned on the big screen? Turn it off now."

"..."

When people outside saw that the big screen suddenly turned on, they all felt strange and prepared to turn it off.

"Hi, guys!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the big screen.

"Zeke?!"

"It's Zeke's voice!"

"It's Zeke!"

"Why is he talking on the big screen?"

"..."

The elders and ministers looked at each other in dismay, and the people who planned the press conference were also a little confused.

The reporters outside were even more puzzled.

Soon, there was a picture on the big screen, and Zeke's entire face appeared in front of everyone.

But his face was very strange; it looked like he was in some kind of clothing, it was pitch black all around, and there were soft pads next to it.

Obviously, those who haven't watched "Iron Man" naturally don't know Zeke's current state.

"As the spokesperson of the Phoenix Kingdom's press conference, it is a pleasure to meet you here."

"But before I speak formally, I want to show you something."

"I'll show you a segment later in the form of a live broadcast... how should I put it... It's a violent incident."

"Anyway, just look at it."

Zeke's words made everyone watching the press conference bewildered.

It's obviously a press conference for an important event. No one will be there to talk about it. What's going on with the live broadcast? They have to watch the video as soon as it comes up... What kind of trick is Zeke doing?

As Zeke's voice fell, the video changed; Zeke's face disappeared, instead, a pile of yellow sand and loess appeared, and there were some typical Arabian loess buildings in the distance.

"That is..."

"Why does it look like it's the Middle East?"

"It may also be the Country Y's countryside."

"What did he show us this for?"

"Wait, I seem to find this place so familiar. I know! Isn't that 'Koyakana'?"

After one of the reporters saw it, he recognized it at a glance.

"Koyakana is a city in Balson! How did Zeke get there."

"What did he do for him to live stream from Koyakana? It seems that war is about to break out because of Al-Qaeda, right?"

"It's getting more and more incomprehensible."

As soon as they heard Koyakana, many reporters immediately knew that Zeke's live broadcast was from Balson.

But what they wondered was, what is Zeke doing over there?

And also live.

Could it be that he is going to live broadcast to show them the process of the war, in order to show that the war is very difficult and will cause huge damage, so he persuades the people not to start the war?

"As you can see, we're in Koyakana in Balson."

"Just now, Al-Qaeda has successfully captured Koyakana, and they are killing civilians and wreaking havoc everywhere."

"So next, I'll show you the whole process of eliminating Al-Qaeda."
