Chapter 902 - Dark Humour (1/2)
The opening ceremony for the foruan with a speech frouest was expected to present souests were representatives from some japanese consortiuures in politics and business from the Philippines and the Western countries
While everyone else talked about noble, far-fetched ideas on stage, Xia Lei was bored out of hiswith the audience seat beneath, his gaze stopped on Shentu Tianyin Shentu Tianyin was staring at hiht sesture and ient but he could never sort out his private life
After all, intelligence quotient and es
Shentu Tianyin brought out a pen and began writing in her notebook She flipped the book around to show Xia Lei a line of words
Xia Lei could e from a distance ‘Come have lunch with me later’
As he found hiht about Fan Fan’s stern reminder to noton the couch for the rest of his life Immediately, his neck went stiff and he did not respond The warning fronant lovers must be taken seriously He really didn’t wish to offend theet chased out from bed to the couch
Another reason behind his inability to nod was the fact that Fan Fan and Liang Siyao were both carrying his offspring The tolerance they showed to acknowledge one another was a rare occasion As a e in his shallow desires in favour of being a good husband and father
This was seeer on the four fe Siyao and Jiang Ruyi were pregnant with his children, he would have gladly succumbed to his desires for the four sisters
Shentu Tianyin stared at Xia Lei intensely
Xia Lei made a smartthat he couldn’t read her tiny handwriting Shentu Tianyin placed the notebook down and as she prepared to write it in a bigger font He immediately turned his head to the side
As if on cue, the host’s attention had landed on Xia Lei The man smiled at him “Mister Xia, could you tell us more about your hopes and dreams for the future of Asia?”
Xia Lei focused his concentration on the question He spoke into the mic placed in front of him “My hope for Asia is simple I just wish for it to enjoy eternal peace and stability Only people who have experienced ould understand how precious that is to us Asia needs a stable environment for development”
“Mister Xia” A representative from the japanese consortium interjected “I learnt that you’re an aranization’s developiven the liht in Middle Eastern wars You’re aweapons and yet you’re here talking about the preciousness of peace and harmony? What kind of sick joke is that?”
Everyone else made no move to stop hies Following that, Xia Lei could feel azes on him as they anticipated an answer
Xia Lei had expected Folsom to make his time here difficult but it was a surprise to have a japanese start the fire He smiled at him “Allow me to answer your query From the dawn of hu for better weapons In prehistoric tier tribes will conquer smaller tribes for their food resources and woer countries will use war to plunder weaker countries and rob them of their resources I’ll spare you no exaht be offended”
The expression of the japanese consortiu about his origin country During the Second World War, The Land of The Rising Sun brought terror to the entirety of Asia, especially to China The crimes they had committed on the Chinese territory were countless, the japanese soldiers were literally vile savages
“History is in the past We are now in a ti down on funding resources for theiran effort to reduce their nuclear weapon arsenals You, on the other hand, are erous weapons Your answer is notto deviate the question, no?” The japanese representative retaliated
With schooled nonchalance, Xia Lei answered him, “In contrast, my motive behind the creation of better weapons is for peace We’re literally rebuilding everything from ruins that were resulted by a very dark period of our country’s hout these years, we have been bullied and exploited To avoid the repetition of history, we need to be strong When we are strong, there will be less opposition Where there is less opposition, there is peace”
“You’re being unreasonable”
“Okay, how about I use your country as an example? You’ve invaded us and even stole away our land and minerals Not to mention, you’ve ood part of our historical relics How can we live in peace with a neighbour like japan around? Currently, your country is ho American troops, aircraft carriers, hters like B2 and F35 If you’re trying to make a point that weapons are a representation of war and therefore, not peace, japan should first have the Aes in your peace constitution to allow more freedom for war initiation to your troops?”
The japanese representative paled, rendered speechless by Xia Lei’s fiery comeback
