Chapter 1432 Negotiation

Chapter 1432 Negotiation
A moment ago, the Magic Saint, Mason Griffith arrived in China to meet the president to negotiate their position in this situation.
As expected, both of them couldn't meet face to face due to security reasons. For better or worse, Mason was someone with an Authority Power, so he was similar to a walking nuke. If the president came here, there was a chance that Mason would threaten him to make that kind of decision.
At the same time, the president couldn't neglect such an important person, considering he would lose credibility as if he was afraid of him.
This was also the reason why the Heavenly Sovereign left the country. If he stayed in the country, he would have to meet the Magic Saint face to face, which might lead to war. Of course, this also looked like the country was trying to leave their place open so that they could be terrorized by Mason's power.
Hence, the president sent two people for the negotiation. If they succeeded, he could show that the country wasn't scared of him.
Cheng Pu and the minister of defense were sent to the meeting site.
They met up in a remote building where not many people lived to lessen the impact if a fight broke out.
"Hmm?" Mason Griffith narrowed his eyes. "Feng Hao doesn't return?"
As a top expert in the world, Mason obviously thought he would be greeted by someone at the same level. This was the greatest courtesy that others could give.
However, Cheng Pu stated, "No, he hasn't come back."
"It seems that your country is underestimating me." Mason Griffith narrowed his eyes. He thought he could force the Heavenly Sovereign to leave Japan, specifically Theo, so that he didn't get influenced by him.
But Cheng Pu answered his doubt with a head shake. "Don't forget that you're intruding on our country. You come to this country out of nowhere without making a single appointment. Who do you think you are?"
Mason's expression turned dark as his eyes started emanating killing intent. The atmosphere became tense, making the minister of defense next to Cheng Pu begin shaking.
Nonetheless, he was still a normal civilian. Although he had fought in the front line and became a Mythical Rank Expert, Cheng Pu and Mason Griffith were at a whole different level. They weren't something they could fight.
"What did you say? Do you want to die?" Mason narrowed his eyes.
"If you want to kill me, then so be it. In this case, you're going to be branded as a terrorist and the Heavenly Sovereign has all the reasons to go after you." Cheng Pu smirked. "If my head can allow us to defeat you, then I've lived and served the country to the end of my life."
"…" Mason suddenly understood something. He finally realized the real reason why the Heavenly Sovereign didn't come back.
He wanted to give Mason the opportunity to kill some people. If he killed Cheng Pu right now, there was no one stopping them from making an all-out war against the Griffith Family.
Although the Griffith Family would survive due to their powerful system, their family would decline from that point on.
This was the trap that the Heavenly Sovereign had set up for him. This action was telling him as well that if he wanted to beg for their cooperation, he should lower his head. That was why he sent Cheng Pu. He might not have status as high as the Heavenly Sovereign, but he still had enough status to not embarrass the Magic Saint.
Mason gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He wanted to kill both of them right now, but this would also turn them into his enemies. If they thoroughly supported Theo, the Griffith Family would be in a dire situation.
Mason thought for a moment and calmed his heart. His tone was cold but didn't contain the hostility like the previous tone. "Can I ask for the president to meet me?"
Cheng Pu had been smiling inwardly since he had finished his job. He might not be able to get him to lower his head, but this action was enough.
Without hesitation, Cheng Pu took out the Skylink and opened it, showing the call with the president. It turned out they had been connected this whole time.
Mason wanted to smash the Skylink because they had embarrassed him, but he refrained himself. He took a deep breath and said, "I come here for one purpose. I'd like to ask for this country to not support Theodore Griffith. If you want the help of our Griffith Family in eliminating the threat, we'll gladly cooperate."
As expected, Mason was planning to cooperate with the country to chase after Theo. They had been hunting Theo this whole time, so this cooperation would allow them to hurt Theo or even kill him.
They would take this cooperation without hesitation if they didn't hear what Maya did to Theo. In the current situation, Theo was considered a free agent after Maya threw away their cooperation to save her own company.
It created an opportunity to mend the relationship. If they sided with Theo right now, they could let bygone be bygone.
On the other hand, if they sided with the Griffith Family right now, they didn't know whether they could kill Theo or not since the other party had the power to hide their strength completely.
"Welcome to our country, Mr. Griffith." The president smiled as he was sitting behind his office chair in a bunker somewhere. They had thoroughly done the countermeasures to handle Mason Griffith without letting the people know about his existence.
"I do think that your offer is very attractive. We all have known the power of the Griffith Family for a long time. I don't mean to look down on your family, but I have to reconsider my decision because I don't know if I can expect the Griffith Family to find Theodore Griffith. No, let's make it clear since you don't like to beat around the bush. What can you give to us?"
However, Mason suddenly dropped a bomb in the conversation by saying, "The Theo you know right now is a fake… No, I should say he's only the clone of the Original Theo. The Original Theo is in the Griffith Family."
