Chapter 400
The nation observed ten minutes of silence to honor the Black Dragon, the God of War. After informing the press of the circumstances surrounding the Black Dragon’s death, Levi chased the reporters away. After all, what he was about to do next was not suitable for television broadcasts.
Levi entered the consulate general.
Envoys of the twenty-eight nations were here for the negotiations. After Levi walked in, a few soldiers carried the still unconscious, badly injured Henry in.
Levi cut to the chase and spoke in a firm voice, “In accordance with international practices, you’ll have to pay a ransom for every prisoner-of-war.
