C1865 Become the Focus
Delicacies flooded the tables.
Mu Chen released his mental energy and began to scan all the guests in the hall.
The experts who were on par with him did not appear. It seemed that the people brought by Yao Feng were still lingering on an island in the Eastern Sea Region.
The several members of the Dragon Group who were sitting beside him were all spirited young men who were dressed in suits and leather shoes.
They all had bright and beautiful positions in the diplomatic corps. In fact, they had come here to collect intelligence.
A captain said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, if you have any tasks, feel free to arrange them. It's too risky to come to the Warhawk Nation personally."
"It's very likely that the enemy will try to assassinate you in secret."
Mu Chen curled his lips in disdain.
If these ants with mediocre strength were able to challenge martial artists who had ascended to the Immortal Realm, then they could only blame themselves for being blind.
"Don't be so nervous."
"With my identity, no matter where I go, there will be a lot of media following and interviewing me."
"The whole process has been exposed to the public. Even this young Head of Parliament doesn't dare to act rashly."
"If the public anger is triggered, all the countries will put pressure on them."
Mu Chen did not reveal what he wanted to do to the members of the Dragon Group.
It was extremely dangerous to get close to the warriors of the Undead Clan. Even the members of the Dragon Group could only be used as cannon fodder.
The banquet reached its climax, and the atmosphere became uncontrollably lively.
The people in charge of the diplomatic mission from many countries came here and toasted Mu Chen.
Even if Mu Chen announced to the public that he had relinquished all of the power of the Great Xia Empire, in the hearts of everyone, he was like a supreme overlord.
No matter what kind of changes occurred in the management, Mu Chen's thoughts were the most effective orders.
"The king hasn't shown his face in public for a long time. Has he really retired to the countryside?"
"Our country has beautiful scenery and a good climate. We can consider coming here for a holiday. We will have the best service all the time."
"The king is a man who does great things. How can he waste his time on such things?"
"It's better for you to come to our country to inspect the trading environment. Recently, we have confirmed a few rare ores in the mountains. They are essential raw materials for making weapons and equipment."
"You people don't have any sincerity at all. If you want to invite the king for cooperation or sightseeing, you should send a diplomatic mission to the Great Xia Country."
"Don't you think that this is a bit abrupt?"
The representatives of the diplomatic missions from different countries surrounded Mu Chen and chattered non-stop.
They all had their own plans.
Ever since Mu Chen relinquished his power, the development style of the Great Xia Country had also become low-profile and mysterious.
Especially in terms of international trade, without the presence of Mu Chen's family's business group, many structures had been broken.
They felt that with Mu Chen's young age, he should not have carelessly retired behind the scenes. Sooner or later, he would have to return to the martial arts world.
The best thing to do was to make the first move and win him over.
Mu Chen had already become the focus of the banquet, attracting everyone's attention.
"If I plan to travel around the world, I will definitely go to your territory to have a good tour."
"Today, let's take advantage of the good days to drink to our heart's content."
They raised their glasses and their faces were filled with joy.
The liquor tasted like a burning flame when it entered their mouths. The taste was quite good, but the aftereffects were quite strong.
Mu Chen persuaded them to drink one cup after another, and no one dared to not give him face.
After exchanging cups, the people around them knew that it was difficult to back down.
They felt that their stomachs were in turmoil, as if they were on fire. If this continued, they would definitely make a fool of themselves in front of everyone.
...
It was already midnight after the cocktail party ended.
Mu Chen slowly left the luxurious hotel accompanied by the members of the Dragon Group, but he could feel countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the darkness.
It seemed that the martial arts experts of the Warhawk Kingdom had never let down their guard.
Sitting in the black car, the leader of the operation asked in a low voice.
"Does Your Highness have any other arrangements?"
"The embassy in the Great Xia Country is less than twenty kilometers away from the hotel, so it's quite comfortable to stay there."
The night was the best time for the operation.
A drunk person would lower their guard, but his mind was unusually clear.
Mu Chen was referring to the remote street in front of him, planning to get off the car there.
"I need to avoid the surveillance cameras on the road. I need to quietly go down and kill my way back."
"Is the king ready to attack the Head Senator, Peterson? The operation palace he stays in is heavily guarded. There are as many as twenty to thirty thousand warriors."
"He is just going to secretly observe. He will definitely not be discovered by these people."
With that, Mu Chen gently pushed open the door.
The color of the suit blended into the night and made Mu Chen look like a nimble black cat.
He jumped onto the roof of the building and jumped from one rooftop to another. He did not make any sound.
The Administrative Palace was brightly lit, and one could see the busy figures of many people.
The bitter coffee temporarily dispelled Peterson's drunkenness, allowing him to immerse himself in his work.
"How's the arrangement of the main ports in the Florida Peninsula going?"
"The biochemical research project this time is very dangerous. We have to be prepared to be completely isolated."
"If there's a virus leak, no means of transportation is allowed to enter or exit that area of the sea."2
The secretary beside him nodded his head repeatedly. Even if he had countless questions in his heart, he didn't dare to question Petersen in front of him.
According to the usual practice.
High-tech projects were proposed by various research institutes and submitted to the Congress or Finance Department for approval.
This time, the matter was arranged by Peterson himself.
Wasn't it a bit rude for a layman like him to interfere in biochemical technology projects?
It was not a big deal to waste manpower and money, but it might affect the overall safety of those regions of the sea.
"Don't worry, Chief."
"The relevant tasks have been assigned to the corresponding military officers. The battle fortress has entered a state of Level 1 Alert. It will definitely be able to seal off the area completely."
"Is there any objection from the council members?"
"The experimental results have not come out yet. Everyone has a wait-and-see attitude."
"Hehe, pay attention to what these people are saying. Tell them not to do anything to the media."
"Understood."
Mu Chen dodged all the angles of the surveillance cameras and firmly leaned against the outer wall of the administrative palace near the window like a tiger.
He had already heard the conversation inside clearly.
He thought that Peterson and Yao Feng were working together to cause trouble.
"What new tricks can the Biochemical Research Institute come up with?"
"The most advanced technology is to nurture genetic warriors with powerful healing abilities. Are there any other results?"
Mu Chen expressed his doubt.
