Chapter 1047: Chapter 1047

Ding Fan had hardly left his villa in the past two days.

As for news about the war with Vietnam Country, unless there was something particularly notable, Ding Fan specifically instructed that it should not be brought to him.

Ding Fan had granted Huang Can absolute command; as long as no ceasefire order was received, he could attack without hesitation. And indeed, Huang Can lived up to Ding Fan's expectations.

In just three days, he directly captured three important cities in Vietnam Country.

On this day, Ding Fan had just finished his cultivation session and hadn't been out of the villa for long when someone came to report.

Someone had come from Huaxia Country.

Given that Ding Fan was reborn in Huaxia Country, he still had deep feelings for it.

Ding Fan also had many friends and brothers in Huaxia Country, so he couldn't ignore visits from Huaxia Country.

After some arrangements were made, it wasn't long before several Huaxia people were brought to Ding Fan's villa.

Huaxia Country had sent a total of three people, among whom Ding Fan recognized one.

That person was Elder Mu, Mu Zi's grandfather.

Back when he was in Huaxia Country, Ding Fan had frequently sought Elder Mu's help.

"Elder Mu, what brings you to Yongfan Island today?" Ding Fan asked happily.

"Young Master Ding, you really have some nerve," Elder Mu said.

Ding Fan naturally understood that Elder Mu was referring to the situation with Vietnam Country.

"Elder Mu, let's go to my room. This isn't the place to discuss matters," Ding Fan said.

With that, Ding Fan invited Elder Mu into his villa.

Typically, when people come to Yongfan Island, Ding Fan would receive them at the municipal hall. It was rare for him to host someone in his villa at home, but Elder Mu was an exception.

"Ding Fan, do you know that your actions towards Vietnam Country are now called invasion?" Elder Mu said worriedly after entering the villa.

Ding Fan nonchalantly nodded.

In the Cultivation World, whoever has the bigger fist, has more say. Without strength, one is only bullied.

Survival of the fittest.

The weak are always conquered by the strong; it's the natural order, and Ding Fan saw nothing wrong with it.

Besides, if Vietnam Country were weak, so be it, but they actively provoked Yongfan Island. How could Ding Fan easily let them off?

Seeing Ding Fan's indifferent attitude, Elder Mu frowned tightly. "Young Master Ding, I've heard about the conflict between you and Vietnam Country, but if the war continues , more people and nations will get involved, making it harder to control."

"So, Elder Mu, you're here to persuade me to withdraw?" Ding Fan asked.

Elder Mu nodded. "The first leader of Huaxia Country asked me to tell you, 'A fat person can't be swallowed in one bite.'

Ding Fan naturally understood what Elder Mu and the others were saying.

A fat person indeed can't be swallowed in one bite. In the current international environment, peace and development are still the main themes. If the war escalates further, neighboring countries will undoubtedly come forward to dialogue with Yongfan Island, considering their security.

At this moment, Hu Jin hurriedly came in from outside.

After Hu Jin entered Ding Fan's villa and greeted Elder Mu and the others, he spoke to Ding Fan.

"Island Master, we just received a telegram from the diplomatic department. Representatives Smith from The Stars and Stripes Country and Ruan Zhongnan from Vietnam Country will arrive on Yongfan Island in an hour. Would you like to meet them in person?"

This Smith was once Ding Fan's friend who dealt in arms in the Middle East. Ding Fan hadn't expected that it hadn't been long since they'd last met, and Smith had already leaped to become a representative of The Stars and Stripes Country.

It seems The Stars and Stripes Country and Vietnam Country have teamed up. Ding Fan recalled a famous saying at this time.

In this world, there are no eternal friends; only eternal interests exist.

"Let them come to the city hall. I'll meet them there," Ding Fan said lightly.

Hu Jin nodded, then turned and went to make arrangements.

"Young Master Ding, in this war, you have gained a lot of victories. If you withdraw now, it will still look justifiable. If more countries get involved, it will be harder to withdraw then," Elder Mu said.

Ding Fan smiled and said, "Elder Mu, I understand."

If the war escalates, it will inevitably affect the surrounding security. The First World War also resulted from an assassination that led to a global conflict.

Ding Fan understood Elder Mu's meaning.

If the neighboring countries feel threatened, they will certainly get involved in this war.

"Elder Mu, would you be interested in joining me for a visit to the city hall?"

Elder Mu pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

After a while, Ding Fan was going to meet the people from The Stars and Stripes Country and Vietnam Country. Elder Mu was worried about Ding Fan's lack of diplomatic experience, so he thought he could listen in.

With that, Ding Fan, accompanied by Elder Mu and surrounded by the others, went to the municipal hall together. This update ıs available on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽

Ding Fan had some tea here, chatted casually, and after about an hour, someone came to report.

Representatives from The Stars and Stripes Country and Vietnam Country have arrived.

Actually, even without going out to greet them, Ding Fan could guess why these two countries would come to Yongfan Island simultaneously.

The two countries, The Stars and Stripes Country acting like a guardian, brought Vietnam Country, who was getting bullied, to seek reconciliation.

Ding Fan casually waved to the reporting guard. "Arrange for them to come over."

Elder Mu watched Ding Fan's actions and was speechless for a moment.

The Stars and Stripes Country is claimed to be the number one power in the world. Let me ask, when their representative goes anywhere, don't they always receive the highest level of welcome?

But look at Ding Fan, he casually said, just let them come over.

In this world, there's probably only one person like Ding Fan who can do this.

Soon, amid the crowd's attention, Smith—the representative from The Stars and Stripes Country—and Ruan Zhongnan—the representative from Vietnam Country—arrived at the City Hall.

"Young Ding, my old friend, we haven't seen each other for quite a while."

At this moment, Ding Fan hasn't even seen the people yet when a familiar voice from the opposing delegation came over.

Ding Fan looked towards the sound, and the speaker was none other than Smith, the representative from The Stars and Stripes Country.

It can be said that in the early unification wars over Yongfan Island, Ding Fan often sought out Smith and received significant help. At that time, it was precisely because Smith provided a large amount of weapons that Ding Fan successfully unified Yongfan Island.

Immediately, Ding Fan stood up and went to greet him directly. According to Western etiquette, Ding Fan and Smith embraced politely.

"Young Ding, since we've been apart for some time, you seem to have grown stronger!" Smith said, smiling broadly at Ding Fan.

Ding Fan smiled, "You too, some time apart and now you've been promoted, already representing The Stars and Stripes Country."

"Haha... Young Ding, you're still as witty as ever."

After greeting Ding Fan, Smith noticed the people behind Ding Fan, including Elder Mu and others.

"Who are these people?"

Ding Fan answered casually, "These are several of my friends from Huaxia Country."

Huaxia Country? Smith's eyes lit up.

The whole world knows now that The Stars and Stripes Country is competing with Huaxia Country.

Seeing representatives from Huaxia Country here, Smith's brows slightly furrowed.

However, Smith managed to control his emotions well and greeted the representatives from Huaxia Country politely.

"Young Ding, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Ruan Zhongnan, the representative from Vietnam Country," Smith said, introducing after everyone exchanged greetings.

Ding Fan nodded, which counted as a response.

"Ding Fan... the main purpose of my visit this time, I hope you understand," Ruan Zhongnan said solemnly to Ding Fan.

Ruan Zhongnan's tone was quite bold, directly addressing Ding Fan by name.

Although Ding Fan didn't care much for these formalities, he now represented a country, and the other party's disrespect towards him was disrespect towards the entire country.

"When you came to Yongfan Island, didn't your parents teach you how to speak properly?" Ding Fan's tone was icy.

"You are nothing but a bunch of pirates, why should I bother speaking nicely to you... Today, I and the ambassador from The Stars and Stripes Country are here to order you to immediately withdraw your troops from Vietnam Country." Ruan Zhongnan said very defiantly.

Looking at Ruan Zhongnan, Ding Fan suddenly understood.

This boldness from Ruan Zhongnan was all because he had an ambassador from The Stars and Stripes Country by his side.

Ding Fan then thought of a term.

Borrowing the tiger's might!

At this moment, Hu Jin, who always acted cautiously, and Ye Ningbing, responsible for diplomatic matters, both showed unpleasant expressions.

The Vietnam Country people have simply brought rudeness to the extreme.

They were simply here to show off.

At this moment, Ding Fan slapped directly over.

The Vietnamese, Ruan Zhongnan, was almost knocked to his knees by Ding Fan's slap. "You..."

Ruan Zhongnan looked at Ding Fan with resentment.

Today, Ruan Zhongnan was so arrogant, relying on the presence of people from The Stars and Stripes Country.

Besides, there's a saying among Huaxia people, which is that when two countries are at war, messengers are not killed.

It was for such reasons that Ruan Zhongnan came out to show off.

But what Ruan Zhongnan never expected was that this Ding Fan didn't bother with any of that, and when he was annoyed, Ding Fan simply slapped over without a word more.

Everyone present was stunned.

The people there were simply bewildered.

Regardless, Ding Fan was the leader of Yongfan Island, and no other world leader would act like Ding Fan, actually striking the messenger actively.

"Mr. Smith, did you see this? These pirates... these pirates are so arrogant." At this moment, Ruan Zhongnan acted like an aggrieved pug, coming over to Smith's side, speaking with a face full of grievance.

Smith tidied his hair at this moment.

To be honest, first, he didn't expect Ruan Zhongnan to be so mindless. He came to arrange a peace talk, so why flaunt victory when he was defeated?

And secondly, Smith didn't expect that Ding Fan has such a fiery temper, not indulging anyone.

"Mr. Ruan Zhongnan, pay attention to your wording. There aren't pirates here; everyone is a friend," Smith said to Ruan Zhongnan.

Ruan Zhongnan was taken aback. He hadn't expected Smith to say such a conciliatory statement.

When Ruan Zhongnan came to Yongfan Island, his superiors told him that people from The Stars and Stripes Country would definitely stand by them.

Why is it now that after he was beaten, the people from The Stars and Stripes Country didn't even say a word?
