"I'll save the Daimyo first!"
The representative from the Land of Water answered loudly, a look of terror on his face.
Upon hearing his reply, Zhong Chen's expression suddenly darkened. Frowning, he looked at the representative and said, "You won't save me? Then what use do I have for you!"
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, the representative from the Land of Water immediately knelt on the ground, terrified. He looked up at Zhong Chen and shouted, "No, no, no… I'll save you first!"
"Oh, so you're a traitor from the Land of Water."
"Ah? Who should I save first? Please, spare my life!"
The representative from the Land of Water was on the verge of a breakdown, feeling that any answer he gave would lead to his death.
Helpless, the representative from the Land of Water could only kowtow repeatedly to Zhong Chen, begging for mercy.
"I also want to spare you, but if you don't die, wouldn't the representative from the Land of Earth have died in vain?"
"Pfft!"
"Ah ah ah!"
The representatives from the other countries, looking at the Land of Water representative who had died with his eyes wide open, all bowed their heads deeply, terrified of being called upon by Zhong Chen.
This wasn't answering questions; this was clearly the King of Hell calling roll, whoever was called, died.
Zhong Chen looked at the representatives from various countries sitting on both sides of the table, their heads bowed low, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
How dare they speak ill of Lord Chen behind his back? Lord Chen would play them to death.
"Representative from the Land of Wind? This question…"
Before Zhong Chen could finish, the representative from the Land of Wind suddenly stood up, looked at Zhong Chen with a serious expression, and said, "My Lord, if you and the Daimyo of the Land of Wind both fell into the water, I would save you first."
After saying this, the representative from the Land of Wind slid to Zhong Chen's feet, then performed a perfect dogeza, respectfully saying, "Because from this moment on, I am no longer a person of the Land of Wind. I request to join the Rainbow Country. Please take me in, I beg you!"
"Oh ho, not bad. I like sensible people like you. Someone, take him to process his Impel Down residency."
As soon as Zhong Chen finished speaking, a figure in a black uniform suddenly appeared before everyone.
He first respectfully saluted Zhong Chen with a hand over his chest, then grabbed the representative from the Land of Wind.
"Um, My Lord, Impel Down is…?"
The grabbed representative from the Land of Wind, though he didn't know what Impel Down was, instinctively felt that something was not right.
"It's a great place, with diverse natural landscapes, complete security measures, and most importantly, the people there are all talented individuals. I think you'll like it."
Zhong Chen raised an eyebrow with a smile, looking genuinely at the representative from the Land of Wind.
"Is… is that so…? Then I am truly grateful, My Lord."
"Oh, don't be modest, we're all pals! Hurry up and go."
With that, Zhong Chen waved his hand with a smile, and the representative from the Land of Wind was dragged out by the figure in black uniform.
As the representative from the Land of Wind was dragged out, Zhong Chen's gaze returned to the representatives of the other small countries.
"I… I request to join the Rainbow Country!"
"Me too!"
"And me!"
"Please allow me to join the Rainbow Country!"
Many representatives of small countries, wishing to live, expressed their desire to join the Rainbow Country, while simultaneously cursing their own country's Daimyo.
They had finally understood that the Rainbow Country had no intention of joining forces with other countries to fight the unknown force.
It should be said that not only did it have no such intention, but it was also extremely unfriendly towards other countries.
"What do you take the Rainbow Country for? A bunch of trash wanting to join? Keys are 100 taels each, 300 taels for three. Are you worthy?!"
"Huh?"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Ah ah ah ah!!!"
Accompanied by a series of screams, the representatives from various countries in the conference room had been cleared out by Sakuya with her throwing knives.
These guys who were sent here were all nobles, not a single good one among them, so Zhong Chen felt no psychological burden killing them.
It should be said that even if they were good people, as long as they weren't his own, he would kill them without hesitation.
In Zhong Chen's eyes, there were only two kinds of people: his own people and everyone else.
His own people could do whatever they wanted, but those who weren't his own… couldn't do anything!
"Clean it up. I'll go ask the great director and producer if they want to increase investment."
After saying that, Zhong Chen led Izayoi Sakuya and others out of the conference room. After they left, several figures in maid outfits suddenly appeared inside the conference room.
"Lord Rimuru, it should be our turn to act this time, right?"
Sakazuki sat on a nearby sofa, adding desserts to Nis's plate while asking with anticipation.
He had originally thought that by arriving in this world first, he would get some fighting action, but who knew that Emperor Rimuru would suddenly arrive with the Imperial Guard Legion.
Konoha was flattened before he could react, and he heard that the next step was to go to war with the entire Shinobi World, which is why he rushed over.
"Sakazuki, you should know that this Emperor spent a lot of money. You can't just expect to participate with a single word, can you?"
Rimuru put down her teacup, her right hand on her knee, her thumb and forefinger constantly rubbing, while looking at Sakazuki with a playful expression.
Sakazuki, noticing Rimuru's small gesture, couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
Although he knew that the Monster Country Federation's top brass was extremely greedy, he hadn't expected that fighting a war would require buying a spot. Had the Monster Country Federation become so corrupt?
Thinking of this, Marshal Sakazuki, who had always prided himself on his military conduct, suddenly became extremely serious, turning his head to stare intently at Rimuru.
Rimuru, suddenly stared at by Sakazuki, felt a little unnerved. What was going on? Was Sakazuki going to assassinate her? Wow, was it really worth it for that little bit of money?
Just as she was wondering if it would be better to hide behind Nis, Sakazuki slowly raised his right hand, the magma on his entire arm shimmering faintly.
"Gulp…"
Then, as Rimuru gulped nervously, Sakazuki's right hand suddenly made an 'eight' gesture, and he spoke a number with an incredibly serious expression.
"Eight hundred thousand."
"What!!!"
Hearing this terrifying number, Zhong Chen, who had just returned to the lounge, couldn't help but exclaim.
Eight hundred thousand, what a terrifying sum of money. Even if you sold the underwear of the Monster Country Federation's top brass right now, you couldn't raise that much money.
At this moment, not just Zhong Chen, Rimuru, Ramiris, Veldora, but even Milim, who had been devouring desserts, all looked at Sakazuki with the expression one would give the Star King Dragon.
"My goodness, Sakazuki, no, Angel Investor!!! Take a seat, you must take a seat."
"Rimuru, move aside. Give up your seat."
Zhong Chen shouted as he came to Rimuru's side, unceremoniously pushing her aside, his face beaming as he stared at Sakazuki.
It was as if he was staring at an incredibly sweet piece of fatty meat.
"Lord Rimuru, what do you think of this price?"
"Oh, my Great God Pangu, at this price, why look for Rimuru? Look for me!"
"I'll rewrite the script for you. Tell me, which world do you want to fight in? Do you need a separate world just for you…?"
