64 Chapter 64: 2.5 billion US dollars
Editor: The Almighty Raiden Shogun
Whoa!
As soon as Gregoryo said this, there was an uproar.
"Human... Human Sovereign?! His Highness is actually praising the Human Sovereign of Country J?!"
"When did His Highness become a descendant of the emperor of Country J?!"
"The Royal Duke believes in the emperor of Country J... It's a great shame!"
"..."
Gregoryo's words were like dropping a bomb on a plane, blowing everyone up.
The uncle of the dignified king, a duke with great power and pure blood... he was a devout follower of the emperor of J country.
As long as you are a citizen who knows a little about Phoenix's history, who doesn't know that Country J has committed monstrous crimes against Phoenix?
Even a three-year-old child knows the ugly past in the history of Country J.
But now His Highness openly shouted, "Long Live Your Majesty the Emperor!" This slogan that only fanatical believers can shout is a shame for the Phoenix Kingdom.
Not only the ignorant noble ministers but also the people in front of the TV and computers heard Gregoryo shouting these words. In addition to being shocked, everyone's faces were filled with anger.
"Long live the emperor?! His Highness is actually the lackey of the emperor of Country J?!"
"After working for a long time, it turns out that His Highness has been brainwashed by Country J. No wonder he didn't even blink an eye when he killed the Phoenix people, this bastard forgot his originality, he is the real traitor!"
"Damn! I said why this guy is so cruel, it turns out that he believed in the idiots of Country J!"
"Sure enough, only those perverts who are brainwashed in Country J can be so coldblooded."
"Shit! Fortunately, Prince Zeke stopped this accident in time. Otherwise, once His Highness takes control of the Phoenix Kingdom, wouldn't it become a vassal of Country J?!"
"These shitty things in country J are hateful!"
"..."
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor" instantly ignited the anger of all Phoenix citizens who heard this sentence. Countless people yelled at them on the spot, so angry that they wanted to smash their computers and TVs.
The Phoenix Kingdom has always had a bad relationship with Country J, and there are frequent and constant conflicts. Due to the historical origins between the two countries, there are irresolvable contradictions and estrangements.
However, because the Phoenix Kingdom advocates the concept of peace first, and Country J is one of the world's powers, regardless of economic strength and military strength, it is much stronger than the Phoenix Kingdom, so it has always swallowed its anger and is at a disadvantage.
But the seriousness of the incident this time is more than just a little friction... The Royal Duke, who intends to usurp the throne and seek to rule the kingdom, shouted the slogan "Long Live His Majesty the Emperor", which is enough to show that the Royal Duke is a follower of Country J.
A chess piece used to control the Phoenix Kingdom, once the Royal Duke succeeds in winning the throne, the entire kingdom will fall completely and become a plaything that Country J can manipulate at will.
Country J wants to take over the entire Phoenix Kingdom by controlling the royal family.
Those who want to usurp the throne and seek the kingdom are those bastards from country J.
"Human Emperor?"
"It's no wonder that someone from country J shot against Grace the day before yesterday... In this way, everything can be explained."
As the closest person who heard it most, Zeke was astonished at the slogan, and at the same time, he understood it completely.
The day before yesterday, people from Country J attacked and tried to kidnap Grace, so that she, who was the king, appeared embarrassing at the National Day ceremony, which will make the Phoenix Kingdom lose face. In this way, Gregoryo could naturally ascend to the throne.
It is a pity that because of his intervention, the kidnapping of Country J failed. Gregoryo had to choose to take the shot himself, but in the end, it was because of Zeke that his wish came to nothing.
And this is also a good explanation, of why a mere Royal Duke can penetrate the Phoenix Kingdom so terrifyingly, not only bewitching so many noble ministers to defect but even the elders of the council of elders have been bought by him... There must be the shadow of Country J in it.
"Surrender! We surrender!!!"
At this time, the shouts of the soldiers of the guards came from below.
He saw that they all put down their weapons, raised their hands, and kneeled on the ground, their expressions were horrified and they all chose to surrender.
"Sir, do you still need to continue the purge mission?"
Jarvis asked.
"No need, these guys were completely crushed by Gregoryo's slogan... They thought they were following the real monarch, but they didn't expect to be someone else's lackey. I guess They're regretting it now."
Zeke glanced at the soldiers of the escorting army, "Take up their weapons and keep them under restraint. After the steel wall falls, they will be handed over to the people of the Phoenix Kingdom for disposal."
"Yes sir!"
After explaining, Zeke flew into the air and came to Grace's rooftop.
"Your Majesty, how was my new product performance just now? It should be pretty exciting, right?"
The Iron Man mask rose, Zeke said with a smile.
Grace gave him a complicated look, then bent down and bowed solemnly to him. "Thank you!"
A king who is aloof and arrogant, can bow and thank him sincerely, which is enough to show that Zeke, in Grace's heart, is no longer the wasteful prodigal prince he used to be, but a hero who can truly stand up in times of danger and is worthy of respect.
"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit unfair?"
Zeke raised his eyebrows and teased, "Why... you have to be practical, don't you think?"
"You are now the hero who saved the Phoenix Kingdom and my savior. I should thank you."
Grace's eyes flickered, "Tell me, what conditions do you have?"
"My conditions are very simple, I only have two."
Zeke stretched out a finger, "First, the two of us are divorced, my title of a prince is no longer, and I am no longer a member of the Qaringal family, so I will be a civilian in the future... But as a hero who saved the kingdom, why don't you give me a noble title?"
"As for what aristocratic title, it depends on how sincere you are thanking me."
"This is as it should be, you have made a huge contribution to the kingdom, and the title of nobility is essential."
Grace nodded, "Tell me about your second condition."
"Second, you just saw how brave my Iron Man army is. Even an army of thousands can be defeated in an instant."
"But this is an outsourcing project that our ZTech is about to start. As you're the first employer, I will give you a 50% discount."
Zeke grinned, "$2.5 billion."
