Monica spoke as if she were discussing an utterly commonplace matter, with an earnest and focused expression as if it were just natural.
Yang Fei, however, was infuriated into laughter and couldn’t help but retort sarcastically, "So what you’re saying is that the Cavendish family is more powerful than the entire Divine Continent Country? That if the Divine Continent Country were to work on this kind of thing alone, it would bring infinite disaster, yet as long as your Cavendish family is involved, everything would be just fine?"
Monica nodded and said, "Yes."
Yang Fei was at a loss for words and let out a humorless laugh.
He truly didn’t know what to say.
He considered himself to be arrogant, but he hadn’t expected the woman before him to be even more so.
What’s more, this woman appeared to be in her thirties.
How could she still be spouting such childish nonsense?
She seemed like a naive fool who had just stepped into society and experienced little of the world.
"Fine, let’s say everything you said is true. Since you are so confident and came to seek cooperation with the Divine Continent Official, why do you insist on meeting me? You should be meeting with the top officials of the Divine Continent." Yang Fei didn’t want to waste his breath on this delusional woman any longer.
Monica gave a slight smile, shook her head, and said, "As far as I know, your wife is the official representative, and moreover, you were the one who spearheaded the production of this product. Your wife is fully in charge of this matter, so by finding you, I have found the source. If both of you, no, or should I say, if you are willing to cooperate with us, then this matter can succeed."
Yang Fei felt that this woman’s mind was a tad more sane. He shook his head and said, "I can understand that you’re interested in my work and looking to cooperate, but why should I work with you? Just because you’re beautiful?"
Monica was taken aback for a moment before regaining her composure, her expression serious as she said, "I’ve already made it very clear. Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will inevitably cause a global sensation. At that point, all the major powers will vie for it, and relying solely on your own side will not be enough to keep it safe. You need a powerful ally."
"Heh, I’ve already said, what’s mine is mine, and no one will take it away for nothing. Your Cavendish family has already angered me, and you are about to pay a heavy price," Yang Fei’s gaze became piercing once more.
Although Qin Yanyang had expressed a desire to cooperate with the Cavendish family, Yang Fei believed that he could take Qin Yanyang’s views into account, or he could dismiss them.
That would depend on the Cavendish family’s attitude and sincerity.
Perhaps Yang Fei’s words made Monica think of Lawrence’s death, her expression became more grave as she looked at the young Eastern man before her and spoke with a heavy tone, "I know you are powerful, but no matter how strong an individual is, in the end, they are isolated and weak. There is an adage in the Divine Continent that goes ’The few cannot withstand the many, and two fists can’t defeat four hands.’ Surely you understand this better than I do?"
Yang Fei stood up, his expression indifferent and his tone icy as he said, "I thought you were here to apologize, but unfortunately, I haven’t seen any sincerity from your Cavendish family."
Monica quickly stood up, stepping in front of Yang Fei to block his way out, her azure eyes gazing at him as she said, "My coming here in person is already the greatest act of sincerity."
"Heh, but I don’t see any sincerity. Although you are a direct lineage member of the Cavendish family, perhaps your authority..."
"To the Eastern World, I have the right to decide in a single word in my family," Monica hastily said.
Yang Fei’s expression shifted slightly.
Monica added, "Ever since my family decided to establish allies in the Eastern World five years ago, I have been in charge of the Eastern region."
Something clicked in Yang Fei’s mind, and he asked a question that took Monica by surprise, "Who is your cooperation partner in Japan?"
Monica was briefly startled, then after a moment of contemplation, said, "That is a secret of our family, but since you’ve asked, to show my sincerity, I can tell you. The Dove Faction."
On hearing the words ’Dove Faction,’ a change crossed Yang Fei’s face.
He was starting to believe what Monica had said earlier.
The woman who seemed inexperienced really did speak for the Cavendish family in the Eastern World.
"Why not the Hawks? Aren’t they more in line with your family’s ideology?" Yang Fei asked.
Monica smiled slightly, "Are you testing me? Actually, whether it is the Hawks or the Dove Faction, their relative strength is not my focus, and you are right—if it were someone else from the family handling this, they would probably choose the Hawks, not the Dove Faction, as our partners in Japan. But I’m different."
Yang Fei looked at her, didn’t interrupt, and waited for her to continue.
Monica went on, "I’m more optimistic about peace. The future global reshuffle is inevitable, but in the end, it will still return to tranquility. Victory will surely belong to those who hold love in their hearts and yearn for peace."
After a moment of silence, Yang Fei said, "I caused a bit of a stir in Japan recently. Don’t tell me you’re saying your partners in Japan are from the Dove Faction just because of that incident?" The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novｅlfire.net
Monica shook her head with a smile, "Of course not, you really are quite conceited. In fact, I made a very good friend in Japan three years ago, her name is Chiba Susumu, a very special person."
Yang Fei nodded, "Indeed, she is very special."
Just a unfortunate soul taken over by Body Seizing.
As far as Yang Fei was concerned, the so-called Guardian God was nothing but the Body Seizing and Rebirth Technique.
Monica looked at Yang Fei and said, "Therefore, our family is very sincere about this cooperation, and I hope you will consider it carefully."
Yang Fei said, "I have already stated at the Underworld Forum that you will pay a price."
"On that account, our Cavendish family can make concessions; we won’t let you lose face," Monica articulated with preparedness, "I’ll personally release an apology, and make the responsible person issue a public apology as well."
"Oh?" Yang Fei was taken aback.
He had not expected her to say this.
For the Cavendish family, their millennia-old reputation was far more important than his personal face.
After he had initially made threats against the Cavendish family, they had also made fierce statements.
Now the Cavendish family was ready to issue a public apology—should they actually do so, the sincerity would indeed be substantial.
Yang Fei had a nature that responded better to gentleness than to force.
If you were to oppose him head-on, even if it led to a bloodbath, he would stubbornly hold his ground to the end.
But if you were polite to him, preserving his dignity, he would become an amiable gentleman, very easy to talk to.
He originally felt disinclined to meet Monica, but Qin Yanyang had informed him of the importance of the Cavendish family, so he came.
Now Monica demonstrated sincere intentions, and even the Cavendish family was willing to apologize publicly to him—his face had been fully saved.
Furthermore, when Chiba Susumu spoke to him about the future world order and the prospect of the three great hidden territories entering the world in force, he felt it was indeed necessary to make some allies.
Moreover, although Monica spoke of cooperating with the Divine Continent Official, she was actually looking for him.
The friendship established with the Cavendish family in the future would largely be his own personal relationship.
Considering this, Yang Fei sat back at the dining table, looking at the dishes that had cooled a little and said to Monica, "After talking with you for so long, I’m getting hungry again. How about we have the kitchen warm up the food, and we’ll eat while we talk?"
A radiant smile appeared on Monica’s face, "Sure."
