he Deadly Assassin Robin 24.42% Finished Chapter 1276 Mission Confirmed! The hall at Grimvarn Isle was unusually quiet, the atmosphere heavy with tension.
The chaos Robin had just caused left everyone in the room stunned, struggling to find the right words.
This was the first tthey had encountered the infamous Divine Drakebane.
The man before them paid no attention to the usual rules of diplomacy.
At a meeting like this, no one expected to see such an outburst of violence over a mere disagreement.
Shepherd, the host of the negotiations, felt his eyelid twitch uncontrollably.
He exchanged a nervous glance with the two other representatives from influential families before gathering the courage to speak. "Divine Drakebane, I'm Shepherd from the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance.
"Being here today means there's still room for negotiation.
"Regardless of the final outcome, I ask that you respect the norms of international diplomacy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Let's keep this conversation peaceful and avoid using force." "Norms? Who created these 'norms'?" Robin raised an eyebrow, narrowing his gaze at Shepherd. Shepherd immediately felt unnerved by the fierce look in Robin's eyes.
"Well... these are international customs. Negotiations should focus on finding common ground while respecting differences, not escalating tensions.
"Let's sit down and discuss things. Let's set aside past grudges for now." "Set aside grudges?" Robin pointed first at Morgan, then at Shepherd.
"If simply talking could resolve everything, there would be no wars, no armies! "Just like this useless man! "Entering our waters illegally and refusing to leave, and all I've done is give them a few harsh words-yet they still refuse to go.
"People like this, who ignore reason, need a good beating to understand who's in charge! "And you, all talk about rules, but you break them in secret.
"Twenty years ago, you attacked Dragon Manor-was that part of your 'rules' too?" Shepherd took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. Divine Drakebane, today... we are here with sincosity, offering our apology for the Dragon Manor incident.
"Please, sit down and calm down. We will go through everything carefully and find a solution." "Fine!" Robin nodded. ..
1/3 20:30 Wed, Apr 30 Chapter 1276 Mission Confirmedt "Let's sit and talk! If that doesn't work, don't just talk-let's handle it with violence!" Robin pointed at Shepherd, then walked over to sit besle Jethro.
Simmond and Garren remained silent, simply sitting at the table..
Finished The other representatives exchanged uneasy glances, puzzled as to why Mecria had sent these two with Robin. Shepherd had been informed that Divine Drakebane didn't have a super weapon system.
Has Mecria struck a secret deal with Robin? The tension in the room was palpable as the negotiations began.
Shepherd spoke again, "Divine Drakebane, we've invited you and General Quintana here-" Robin raised a hand, cutting him off. "My matters with your Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance can wait for later.
"That's a life-or-death issue, and when it's tto discuss it, everything will end right there. No need to discuss anything else! "General Quintana, you can go ahead and begin." The room fell into a heavy silence, the pressure in the air almost suffocating.
Everyone felt on edge.
Shepherd furrowed his brow and instinctively glanced at Hayden Andrus, the representative from Autreynia, and Jeremy Burton, the representative from Kangaroth.
Hayden quietly passed a note to Shepherd.
It read, "The Seventeen-Nation United Fleet, led by Autreynia's third aircraft carrier group, is approaching Grimvarn Isle." Shepherd sighed in relief.
With Autreynia supporting him, he felt more confident in his approach.
He knew that even with Divine Drakebane present, Draconia's negotiators would have to consider Autreynia's position.
Morgan, Novaros' diplomatic attaché, had finished treating his wounds and returned to his seat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe too received word from Autreynia, and the anxiety he had been feeling began to ease.
Jethro pushed forward, "Mr. Berry, Divine Drakebane has already spoken. I'm passing the message now- order the vessels and personnel in our waters to leave immediately! "Otherwise, we can't guarantee the safety of any ships of personnel during the South Panacea Ocean winter drill and missile tests." "I'll repeat the live-fire missile test area is anywhere in our eastern waters! 2/3 20.30 Wed, Apr 3
Chapter 1276 Mission Confirmed! "In ten minutes, our fleet will reach the launch sites.
"We have 15 minutes before the missile test begins.
"If you keep defying us, the consequences are on you! "This is Divine Drakebane's will, and the orders from Draconia's command center!" Finished Morgan slammed his fist on the table in frustration. “General Quintana, are you ignoring international law? We've made it clear-it's a disputed area, and you have no right to-" “Charlie!” Robin glanced at his watch, ignoring Morgan's protests. He pointed at Charlie. “Contact the commander of the winter drill, Jack!" "Yes, Mr. Ramsey!" Charlie immediately stood up and grabbed the satellite phone.
Robin took the phone. "Jack, it's me.
"About the Novaros vessels illegally in our waters, the deadline for their departure has changed!" "The original 5:00 p.m. deadline is now canceled. The new deadline is 10:00 a.m. today! "There are only 15 minutes left. If any of Novaros' ships or personnel are still here, we'll eliminate them! "In ten minutes, we'll block all channels.
"If srefuse to leave, we'll leave their remains there forever!" Jack's voice cthrough the phone. "Mission confirmed! The D001 Fleet will carry out the elimination operation!" The room fell completely silent.
After a moment of stunned shock, Morgan reacted, his voice shaking. “Mr. Andrus, Mr. Burton, Mr. Gilkes, and everyone here-don't you think this is just bullying us Novaros? "We were only staying for a short while! We didn't refuse to leave; it's just not the right time-" Jethro sneered. "Cut the crap. Divine Drakebane has already made his stance clear." Hayden, the Autreynian representative, shrugged. "General Quintana, I'd like to say something. "Although this isn't directly our issue, we've always advocated for resolving conflicts in these waters through negotiation, not escalating tensions ...
