My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1929: Disgust

However, she did not reject Little Ya’s suggestion, not because she wanted to attend any banquet, but because leaving this villa to attend a banquet would make it easier for her to execute her escape plan.

...

"What’s going on? Why is the peace treaty being held in our country this time?" Fengye Ningyuan, the Eagle Country’s commander-in-chief, had a rugged, bronze face marked with deep, chiseled lines that showed his displeasure.

Standing in front of his desk, Fengye Wuyin reported, unconcerned:

"Who knows, they always choose a place. If not the Aus Empire, then Yalan Country. Since our Eagle Country also participated in this war, it’s natural to be a chosen location. Yalan Country has just stopped fighting and is in chaos internally, making it unsuitable, while the Aus Empire is on the other side of the ocean, too far and troublesome. So they chose us, given the shorter distance.

Domestic peace and prosperity, isn’t this a good thing? Don’t you want Eagle Country to have a strong influence in international affairs? This time, all the countries and peoples in the world are paying attention to the peace meeting being held here, which is your chance to showcase our strong national power!"

His tone was formal and earnest, yet it made people feel uncomfortable, seemingly tinged with sarcastic irony.

Fengye Ningyuan hummed with displeasure, his eyes dark and hidden with shadows: "They want to choose our country to host such an important international meeting, which I would normally welcome. But now, with the weapons you secretly brought back from the southern territories of Yalan Country undergoing intensive secret research by our national military institute, it’s a significant matter. At this moment, having officials from so many countries here, if they find out, it could be an international disaster."

He paused, looking at Fengye Wuyin with intrigue.

"Do they already know something, hence deliberately choosing to hold the meeting here in our country?"

Fengye Wuyin looked shocked: "Impossible. This matter is so secretive. If it’s proven to be a top-secret weapon, it will benefit our country greatly, making it the strongest military nation, which is a shared glory. Who would betray and leak this information?"

"Hmph, after all, quite a few troops followed you during the excavation, and if one or two loose-lipped ones secretly divulged some information for benefits, it’s not impossible. Besides, Yalan Country isn’t our territory, ensuring no leaks isn’t easy."

Fengye Ningyuan felt helpless; matters had come to this, everything was speculation, and they could only take things step by step.

"Even if they did catch some hints, it’s still just rumors without any evidence. So, under no circumstances can we let them discover that batch of secret weapons excavated. Since Eagle Country found it, it’s ours, and no other country should try to get a piece of it. They will lead our Eagle Country to an even stronger future, becoming the world’s number one power. By then, the Fengye Family will also become the world’s most elite and powerful family, hahaha!" Fengye Ningyuan’s expression was proud and assertive, full of confidence, as if the world’s number one power was already in his grasp.

Fengye Wuyin looked at him coldly with her glazed, mystifying phoenix eyes, with traces of disgust hidden deep within.

Her father, Fengye Ningyuan, is the authority in the family, extremely capable and exceptional, with shrewd strategies and intellect. Under his leadership, the family has grown increasingly stronger over the past decade, with its influence in political and economic areas deepening by the day.
