One day later, the meeting was organized in the Royal Palace in the capital, and all the political dignitaries flew over from all over the world, they all had been accomodated in various places around the capital, and one by one they all arrived inside the palace. They may be dignitaries in their own countries, but they were made to go through proper security check while they were dissatisfied they dared not make a fuss, because Clover Nation has a status they could not shake anymore.
The tech development, the economic stability and the military growth aside, these people have managed to mine rocks in the space, so obviously the world leaders didn’t want to escalate issues and loss the chance to collaborate with them. The people gathered in the great hall, this place held great historic significant it was the place where the foundation of the clover nation was established and was rarely used nowadays apart from the tours for the visitors but today the tours were cancelled.
The dignitaries sat around the round table, under the supervision of their attendants and palace staff, just then, a loud call sounded from outside, "His Majesty, King Avalon, has arrived."
The King entered the room, all the people stood up, although the old man was wearing a normal suit, the aura that he carried was something none of the people could fathom. The bearings of a noble were different and that was the truth. Another thing that caused the people to be surprised was how the Old King looked slightly younger.
The secret was nothing, gene enhancement serum had improved his physical condition and even given him some strength to look younger than his age. The people gulped and stood up to greet him, King Avalon greeted them all and said, "Please take your seats, High Priest Hank and Lord Cardinal have also arrived in the palace, they will be joining us soon."
One man adjusted his glasses and asked, "May I ask, what could be causing them to delay?"
The King replied, "Lord Cardinal had to drop his kids in the nursery, he cannot leave them unattended, can he?"
The people clenched their fists, Leo was basically slapping them all in face. One of the people asked, "We are all here worried for the sake of humanity and he is worried about who would change the diaper of his kids."
Just then a calm voice sounded from the entrance of the great hall, "I am not as valiant as you, Governor Tudor, I am merely a family man and not the hero you thought I was."
The people turned to look and found Leo walking in, he was dressed in a black suit, and his gaze only caused the temperature to drop. King Avalon smirked and thought internally, ’You lot came here thinking that we would give you everything you want because we are generous? Humph, now let’s see who has more pull on the situation.’
He smiled and said, "Lord Cardinal, your suit looks good."
Leo smiled back and bowed slightly as he replied, "I apologize for the tardiness, Your Majesty, the Princess had kept me behind for a few questions about the twins. Also, thank you for the approval, shall we get one for you too? I am sure that black would look rather regal and imposing on your stature."
King Avalon chuckled and said, "I didn’t realize you to have gained the skill of brown nosing, it seems that Little Miss Cardinal has been grooming you rather well."
Leo chuckled, and said, "I can’t say otherwise."
These two basically ignored the two dozen people sitting around the table, until one of them cleared his throat and Leo turned to look at the person, The man adjusted his glasses, and said, "Your Majesty, can we start the meeting?"
Leo sat down on the chair beside the King, he didn’t speak, because he was not a diplomat, but as the meeting commenced everyone began to highlight the plans they had to counter aliens. They wanted to bring the Blood Diamond away and have it scanned by their systems and find out more about it, etc. Leo didn’t speak, the head priest had also arrived, but he didn’t speak either, and after two hours of back and forth, the King said, "Why not listen to the advice of High Priest Hank and Lord Cardinal, after all, regardless of anything else, they are the ones who own these things."
One of the people with blonde hair said, "I beg to differ, Your Majesty, they don’t own any of the things, be it the Alien Corpse or the Blood Diamond, it is a collective asset of the human race and..."
Before he could finish his words, Leo said, "Then I would like to see you try and get a hold of these two things."
His words caused the people to fall silent. They were surprised, because they didn’t expect Leo to come up with such a high tone. The Cardinal didn’t stop, he paused and continued, "You people from Eagle nation always use the collective good as the idea for your shield and the rest of the world knows how hypocritical you and your notions are. The space elevator attack has not yet been forgotten. So, I am laying it down here, I want to see you try and joust with me for the things that we own."
The man’s face turned pale in rage, he wanted to retort but Leo waved his hand and said, "If you want to threaten me, I am assuring you, that the consequences will be way beyond your imagination. If you want chaos I will give you chaos that will consume you, if you want order, than you need to bow your arrogant head and follow our order. The Clover Nation has all the facilities that you guys mentioned in the past couple of hours, and we are even better than that. So, please forget the idea that we need you. None of you are the leaders of the human race, your thoughts are your own and the human race has its own thoughts, so if I go out there and ask the people what they want directly, your plans to gain power would be foiled within a day."
He paused again and his gaze ran over all the people and he asked, "So, what do you want? Chaos or Order, please think carefully, because your hope for survival depends on it."
