The Queen of Death Return
Verbal

"Even we suspect you and the prince have conspired to bring down the Rexist Kingdom!"

The atmosphere became very tense, but Justin was still stunned by Alissa Hart who smiled at him. Realizing the tension around him, Justin instantly controlled his expression and acted calm. "Remain ... Mr. Neno, calm down, don't rush to any conclusions."

The aura Neno emitted was huge, Justin looked a little panicked as one of the intruders of his plan was out of control.

The members of the Federation stared at Justin sharply, as if suspecting something. Of course it was in Justin's point of view, but a little suspicion remained after that.

Justin began to realize that his current attitude looked more inclined towards the Maphas Mage Kingdom, he was trying to make a clear reason.

"Let's make room for Miss Hart to speak, maybe everyone will understand something."

"Tch!" One of the representatives looked indifferent as Alissa Hart was about to speak.

For now, I should be able to resist my urge towards that woman. This meeting can be a time bomb if it is not resolved calmly, even it is very good if there is no commotion.

Justin has Alissa Hart speaking.

"I want to clear up one thing. We, the Maphas Witch Kingdom are unrelated to the coup that is taking place in the Rexist Kingdom."

"That's just your alibi!"

Alissa Hart raised her index finger forward.

"You!" The Federation was very upset to see that action.

"As you can see, we have suffered great losses because of injustice, humiliation in war. We live only by utilizing the resources of the forest, slowly making small trades until we are able to build the 'city' of today." Alissa Hart pressed the word city clearly.

The Federation representative fell silent, but not with Reverend Neno. The other reason for being silent was because they did not dare to speak, for fear of offending the Holy Church, it was better to be silent or wretched in the future, that was what they had in mind at the moment.

"Where are your sources of income?" asked Neno who could now control her emotions, the aura in her body started to disappear.

"It seems you forgot the place that became the land of the Maphas Mage Kingdom."

Justin knew very well about other sources of income from the kingdom. It's also an attempt to cover up the truth, a camouflage that they also own mass production of weapons.

Neno already knew how the Green Forest became their source of wealth. A sneaky thought appeared at the same time, Neno started to smile small.

"Ah, I know very well what it is. Although we never bought it, but the medicinal plant material from Green Forest is very famous. We don't forbid Federation members from using it."

"Good, I'm glad you know it-"

"But ...." Neno cut out the words of Alissa Hart quickly. "It's a big deal."

"Big problem?" Alissa Hart stared hard at Neno.

"Master Justin, does it matter if there are additional discussions? We've agreed on the price you bargained for before, haven't we?"

"I-iya, please." Justin was a little depressed, he could not openly defend the Maphas Mage Kingdom.

"I remember about the legal provisions that the Luxtier Trade Association had agreed with the kingdom that it partnered with. The point is that the results of a nature without owners must be shared equally with other partners."

"What do you mean?" Alissa Hart's face looked irritated, but there was still no aura emanating from her body.

Justin could only brush his teeth.

"Hoi, hoi, calm down, miss, this is just straightening it out. The Green Forest used to be a no-man's-land, although it entered the Empire's territory, but they hadn't touched it in the past."

"The Green Forest belongs to the Liche Tribe!" alissa Hart strongly objected.

"True, they are not tied to any kingdom. They sell them without intermediaries, which is clearly illegal under the law of the association. The Federation allowed it because it did not want to take care of the matter about the Liche Tribe that could not possibly develop if it relied only on medicinal plants. However, now everything is different from the estimate, because certain variables have used it arbitrarily."

What am I supposed to do? I don't want to leave a bad impression on Alissa Hart!

"So, can we use this point as evidence of an offense, Mr Justin?" asked Neno, continuing from the previous words.

"It looks like there's a misunderstanding here" Alissa Hart said.

Justin was a little calm because Alissa Hart was trying to defend himself. In his mind, he was also extremely frustrated at him losing control of this encounter.

"What other ruse are you going to do this time?"

"There's no ruse whatsoever. The chairman of the Luxtier Trade Association, Mr. Edd de Moriento has approved the ownership of the rights to medicinal plants on us. It was in accordance with the agreement, no other party could touch it."

*Shelf!

Neno hit the table and stood up from her seat. He looks upset at Alissa Hart.

"Omong empty! That medicinal plant must be given to the association, in order to be sold fairly! There's no proof of the deal you made!"

Neno's intention was to refer to the right to ownership of medicinal plants. The Maphas Mage Kingdom did not do any registration of ownership and only sold them to associations, that was how he thought at the moment.

Neno knew that Edd de Moriento was lying weak. Most likely the agreement is only in oral form only. The chance of winning may be there.

Alissa Hart fell silent, making the Federation even more convinced by Neno's words.

"Master Justin! Immediately take the assets of the medicinal plants to be processed by the association!" Neno continued to press for Justin to falter and carry out his orders.

Nah! Nah! I want to be on good terms with that woman in order to trap her into my trap! The Holy Church's base of bullies!

Justin is looking for a way to help Alissa Hart. Only one person can do it, the one who made a verbal appointment with Alissa Hart. But, he alone had already made that person lie helpless.

Ah, I know.

"Calm down, Mr. Neno. These accusations are not basic, I believe what he said." Justin replied to a question with a smile.

Neno frowned, she again emitted an aura from her body. "Are you siding with this bad guy?"

"I try to be neutral, as the temporary leader of the Luxtier Trade Association. If Miss Hart makes a verbal agreement with my father, then we just have to wait for the answer later."

Neno calmed down a little, she drew an aura into her body. The atmosphere melted a little.

Not knowing when his father realized, Justin can only do this to buy time while looking for other reasons. Moreover, he and Neno had a private conversation, something that would probably benefit him.

"alright. I'm gonna hold this till Mr. Edd's dead."

"Yes, thank you." Justin looked relieved, the huge burden on his shoulders instantly disappearing right then and there. The meeting that was originally under his control, now turned around to pounce on him.

Most important thing ....

Justin turned towards Alissa Hart who looked at him with a gentle look, an expression that seemed to say, "Thank you for protecting me." It made her fall in love with that woman.

The woman who looked to ask for protection like this was an S rank adventurer? Are you kidding me? Rumors about his power, defeating a dragon, I guess that's just nonsense!

Justin was getting impatient to continue his plan.

Justin's Assassin gave a letter that appeared in his palm. Justin immediately grinned after reading the contents of the small letter.

Connect ....
