After ending the call with Fujiwara Chika, Chairman Hu Jing looked to his side.
Seated next to him was an elderly man holding a sword hilt with his eyes tightly shut.
This elderly man was Prime Minister Cao Chengxiang.
Hu Jing's call with Fujiwara Chika was just a minor episode, his primary purpose for today was to meet with Prime Minister Cao Chengxiang.
"Did the call end?" Prime Minister Cao Chengxiang opened his tightly shut eyes and looked at Hu Jing.
The hilt of the [Sword of Thousand Precepts] in his hand emanated a faint blue luminescence that stirred the air.
"Yes, it's done," answered Hu Jing with a nod.
He looked at Prime Minister Cao Chengxiang and sincerely asked, "Mr. Cao, do you think we should surrender to the Skru people?"
