Chapter 1129 - The Unlucky Kishida (1/2)

Coro City.

At Jiang Chen’s mansion door.

“The weather is nice today.”

“Yeah, the weather is good.” Kis.h.i.+da’s face squeezed into a smile. Without giving an opportunity for Jiang Chen to change the topic, he quickly showed Jiang Chen a doc.u.ment. “What do you think? We’ve already joined the Earth Defense Alliance, so the defense tax…”

“Haha, of course,” Jiang Chen, who just came back from Coconut Island, laughed and patted Kis.h.i.+da’s slim shoulder. Jiang Chen reached for his pocket then looked around before his expression became disappointed. “You see… I don’t have a pen. Why don’t you just leave the doc.u.ment here and I will send it to you after I’m done with it?”

“No need, no need, I have a pen here.” Kis.h.i.+da immediately reached into his pocket and took out a pen. He then handed it to Jiang Chen with a smile. “You can have the pen, so now you can sign it.”

“Hmph—”

Kis.h.i.+da pretended not to hear the sound as he continued to gaze at Jiang Chen with a smile on his face. He was prepared to stay there until the doc.u.ment was signed.

Since Nippon joined the Earth Defense Alliance, Nippon completely got on the wrong side of UA, so it changed its diplomatic stance and began to lean toward Xin. The previous territorial and historical issues were no longer topics of discussion.

However, when Kis.h.i.+da happily went to Jiang Chen with the Defense Tax Agreement, he couldn’t find Jiang Chen anymore.

That’s right, Jiang Chen disappeared!

This made him extremely anxious and paranoid! First, he didn’t expect Jiang Chen to be such a rogue. Second, the defense tax costed Nippon more than a billion per day, which meant he couldn’t wait any longer. Despite being an influential diplomat, he turned into a paparazzi and waited around Jiang Chen’s mansion all day long.

Fortunately, after waiting for a week, Jiang Chen, who just came back from the apocalypse, finally showed up.

Since Jiang Chen couldn’t find any excuses, he sighed and unwillingly picked up the pen. But right then, his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Kis.h.i.+da and coughed. “I suddenly remembered that today is Sat.u.r.day, not a working day—”

As soon as Kis.h.i.+da heard Jiang Chen making another excuse, he couldn’t stand this anymore. His eyes stared straight at Jiang Chen with a tragic look.

“Mr. Jiang, please don’t joke with me anymore. I know you’ve been hiding from me all these days, but we joined the Earth Defense Alliance. In other words, we’re now comrades inside the same trench. Why are you giving us trouble? If you’re angry with the joint military exercise, I can apologize. I just hope you can relinquish the past and treat us equally.”

But your apology is worth nothing.

Of course, Jiang Chen also thought about this. If he really said it, it would damage the relations.h.i.+p between his allies. Since Nippon already joined them, he should relinquish the past.

“Haha, Mr. Kis.h.i.+da, I’m not that type of person.” Jiang Chen held onto his arm. “I wouldn’t make you apologize.”

Jiang Chen picked up the pen again, and under the staring of the mung bean-like eyes, he signed his name at the bottom of the doc.u.ment.

After Kis.h.i.+da accepted the signed doc.u.ments, he repeatedly praised and thanked Jiang Chen. He thanked but refused Jiang Chen’s invitation for a few drinks and immediately left. Even with the doc.u.ment signed, it would still take a few days to lift the defense tax. Any wasted time now meant wasted money.

After Jiang Cehn sent off the Foreign Minister of Nippon, he returned inside.

As he walked past the entrance, he saw Natasha holding a bottle of champagne in her hand and relaxingly enjoyed the pleasant afternoon.

“What’s the matter? Did you lose money?” Looking at Jiang Chen, Natasha whistled at him and teased.

“I did lose money.” Jiang Chen was very honest and nodded.
