Rebirth: City Sovereign

After saying that, he no longer cared about the stupefied Gergiev who was sitting on the second floor. Under the illumination of the neon lights, Ye Kai walked step by step back to his original sitting position.    

    

Gergiev had already made room on the stage for him and was waiting for him to speak. Now, he could only walk up to the stage awkwardly, picked up the microphone, and announced to the guests on the first floor.    

    

"I announce the start of the royal ball!"    

    

The crystal lamp in the hall lit up once again, and the white neon light on Ye Kai's body disappeared. Elegant music rang in the hall, and one by one, delicious dishes were served.    

    

"Wow!"    

    

When Ann Yunru saw those expensive dishes, she could not help but let go of her stomach and started to eat.    

    

Seeing Ann Yunru wolfing down the food, Ye Kai smiled and shook his head. He swirled the wine in the glass and sat in his seat, as if he was waiting for something.    

    

After around 20 minutes, two tall British men who were dressed in black formal attire and bows walked towards Ye Kai in an orderly manner. They walked to the front of Ye Kai, stood up and bowed.    

    

"Honorable Sword Immortal, this way please."    

    

Ye Kai only laughed, he stood up and touched Ann Yunru's head.    

    

"I'll be right back. Stay here and wait for me."    

    

Ann Yunru only thought that Ye Kai, as a VIP, wanted to go to the top floor to enjoy better treatment, so she lifted her chin that was filled with food and nodded her head vigorously. How would she know, that Ye Kai was going to face the entire European Union's challenge?    

    

With his hands behind his back, Ye Kai followed the two black clothed men up the spiral staircase.    

    

When they arrived at the second floor, Gergiev, who was on the stage a moment ago, had long since disappeared. Ye Kai followed the two black clothed men through the long golden passage at the second floor and entered the elevator.    

    

A black clothed man reached out his hand and clicked on the second floor.    

    

When the elevator reached level two, the elevator door opened and what entered Ye Kai's eyes was a completely different scene.    

    

A long, black oval table that almost filled the entire room was placed in the center. Five to six people who were approximately councilors sat in the seat right in front of Ye Kai, while Gergiev stood in the corner of the meeting room.    

    

A few meters in front of Ye Kai was a pure black wooden chair.    

    

This was probably where he should be sitting tonight.    

    

Ye Kai laughed calmly and sat down on the chair, looking at the five or six councilors on the other side of the table who were also looking at him, looking relaxed.    

    

All of the representatives present frowned deeply. Although they had already thought of a way to deal with the situation without saying a word, it was the first time they were facing the current legends of the China at such a close distance. Naturally, they wouldn't be so relaxed.    

    

Ye Kai looked at them and chuckled. He crossed his legs and spoke to the representatives in front of him.    

    

"I think you guys must have a lot of things you want to tell me. I also have something to tell you. How about you guys go first?"    

    

After hearing what Ye Kai said, a few of the representatives looked extremely embarrassed.    

    

I clearly came to count his sins, how did I become his host?    

    

In the conference room on the second floor, there was actually a small black cubicle where Gergiev was standing.    

    

Kurt and a few other members of the Palace were sitting inside. Through the cameras in the meeting room, they were able to see the scene on the screen.    

    

"God damn, what a bunch of trash!"    

    

Looking at the screens, where the few councilors were stuttering, Kurt subconsciously clenched his fists tightly, crushing the paper cups in his hands that were filled with water.    

    

After Ye Kai finished talking for twenty seconds, the representatives finally returned to their normal expressions. The representative in the middle looked at Ye Kai and gave him a standard commercial smile.    

    

"Honorable Sword Immortal, we, the EU, sincerely apologize for using the North Sea Cruiser fleet and the English Channel Navy to prevent Sword Immortal from entering the British port."    

    

Although the representative said it like that, he did not reveal an apologetic expression. Ye Kai understood that this was just a method to suppress them and bring it up later.    

    

"After failing to negotiate, we were affected by our anxiety and adopted extremely extreme measures. This method caused harm to the Honorable Sword Immortal and it is indeed the responsibility of our EU."    

    

As though he was too lazy to even listen, Ye Kai had an uninteresting expression on his face.    

    

"Yeah, let's get to the main point."    

    

Seeing Ye Kai's attitude, the other representatives were also displeased, the other white haired representative with glasses said to Ye Kai with a blushing face.    

    

"Although our EU is a little too extreme, but I'm afraid that the actions of the Honorable Sword Immortal are even more serious?"    

    

"As the eldest son of the main branch of the family, Maude's status is extremely respected. When the Honorable Sword Immortal kills Maude, it means that the purest bloodline of the family will no longer exist after this generation!"    

    

"The Curse Technique has been passed down in Maude's family for hundreds of years. Honorable Sword Immortal's actions are a very serious loss to us France, and even to Europe."    

    

The representative who was the first to speak also chimed in.    

    

"Furthermore, according to my understanding, although Maude and the members of the French Team had placed curses on the China Youth Training Team members, in the end, they were not put to death. On the other hand, the Honorable Sword Immortal had killed more than half of the members of the French Team, even crossed the entire North Sea, and killed Maude in front of the French Protector."    

    

"The actions of the Honorable Sword Immortal, can be said to be much more extreme than what he did with his French Team and with Maude!"    

    

The representative looked excited as his face turned red and saliva flew everywhere. He slapped the table with his palm as if Maude was his nephew.    

    

Seeing his excited expression, Ye Kai did not bother to explain that he did not kill all of the members of French Team. He only smiled slightly.    

    

"So, what do you want to calculate?"    

    

As if Ye Kai's question pierced the heart of today, the leading representative instantly revealed a cold smile.    

    

"We in the European Union have always paid attention to fairness. The ones who attacked were French Team members and Maude first, so of course we wouldn't ask for Honorable Sword Immortal's life."    

    

"As long as Honorable Sword Immortal can provide the EU with the method to create Spiritual Water as well as the method to inscribe and forge spirit artifacts, the EU will no longer pursue the matter of killing the members of French Team and Maude."    

    

Ye Kai's eyebrows twitched, and his mouth curved into a smile.    

    

"Oh?"    

    

So this was the purpose of the EU.    

    

Thinking about it, for a world where technological prowess determined one's status, what was the most precious thing?    

    

Technology.    

    

Presumably, the people of the EU had long coveted the miraculous Spiritual Water that they concocted, and the Red Crystal Longsword in their hands for a long time. However, they naturally knew that these things could not be casually given to others.    

    

The death of Maude and the members of the French Team was no different from giving them a heavenly opportunity.    

    

One of the councilors felt that his Spiritual Water and spirit weapon were already right in front of him, and said with a smile towards Ye Kai.    

    

"Don't misunderstand Honorable Sword Immortal, we did not make such a request just for our own benefits, but after careful consideration."    

    

"Spiritual Water and spirit artifacts are precious items that can change the lives of humans. We aren't trying to take this method for ourselves, but rather, we are promoting it."    

    

"Once we have received the methods to create Spiritual Water and spirit artifacts, we will improve them and design them to be easier to make by ordinary humans. This will be spread throughout Europe and even throughout the world."    

    

"Not only that, we will also use the funds collected from the promotion to build all kinds of welfare facilities such as primary schools, ancestral halls, hospitals and so on, established in the name of the Honorable Sword Immortal."    

    

"At that time, the entire world will respect the reputation of the Honorable Sword Immortal!"    

    

That representative became more and more excited as he spoke, and he even started to dance with joy. If it wasn't for the representative beside him interrupting him, then he would probably have blown this matter even more outrageously.    

    

"Sure."    

    

However, facing the speech of the councilors that were already in limelight, Ye Kai could only smile and reply with these two words.    

    

This time, the representatives were all stunned.    

    

~ Aren't Spiritual Water and Spirit Treasures supposed to be the basis of the White-Clothed Sword Immortal's power? Logically speaking, this war of words should last a long time, why would he agree to it so easily?    

    

"You want to benefit humanity? "Very good."    

    

"However, the Spiritual Water and Spirit Treasures alone are not enough."    

    

After saying that, Ye Kai stood up from his seat and revealed the Space Artifact on his left arm to everyone present.    

    

"I even know how to concoct pills."
