Chapter 36: Meeting Armonian President
The ambassador understood what Ibro was referring to deep in his words. He simply nodded his head in support of him and waited for what he would say later. But strangely, Ibro did not speak.
He took out his phone. He began using it a bit then a number of images appeared on the screen in the air. Ibro made its size grow to the largest possible size to become a size of two meters in meters.
Ibro pointed to the images appearing on his phone screen in the air, then said:
"These are images taken from inside the game. The first picture is an Apidon coin. This coin is the only way to move from the game to Apidon Mythic city.
If you focus a little bit, you will notice that I have a hundred coins in my game account. which means I have a hundred tickets to move to the city. The other photos are return scrolls for three cities: Iknaz, Rubiv, and Ronat.
If you looked closely, you would see that I have ten transfer scrolls per city. you feel free to ask your players to search at the library for the coin of Apidon and the names of those three cities ."
the ambassador and those with him looked towards silently. The silence didn't last for a second.
After which they started arguing amongst themselves. not before long the ambassador said to Ibro with his strange Heptian accent:
"We understand the role of Apidon coins. but what about those three return scrolls to these three cities? What is their relation with the separate world that you claim to have ?"
"These cities your players will search about any information related to them in the library records. you will never find any mention of them .
That means I have returned scrolls for cities that don't belong to the Rioneed world that you know. You don't need me to explain anymore, do you?"
Ambassador understood immediately what he meant by his words. If he had transferred scrolls for cities that weren't in the game then there was only one situation.
That meant that they were returning scrolls for cities that belonged to other worlds than Rioneed. That was proof that he already had other worlds, or at least had a way of moving to them .
After the ambassador had a little chat with the people around him, the same man reconnected with his players via his phone. Then they all watched Ibro with great focus and interest.
This young man seemed not easy at all. If what he said was true, he already had two valuable treasures. They were not going to give up the chance to cooperate with him then.
They also didn't forget about his third offer , the list of traitors. This time they didn't wait long. Within five minutes , the reply came quickly on the phone of that Armonian guy.
He started reading the content of the message on his phone then he moved the phone between everyone. Everyone then looked at Ibro as if they were staring at a mysterious monster .
This young man had treasures no one even knew about their names. If they left him a room for growth and time for evolution, he would become a monster that no one could tame and no one would be safe from his fangs .
Siraj noted the change in the Armonian delegation's views to Ibro. He was suddenly concerned about him. maybe they wouldn't be doing anything now but in the future who could guarantee his safety?
Ibro had already revealed his identity to them. it wouldn't be difficult for them to find him later. Amid his anxiety, Ibro's voice came strongly pulling him out of his deep worries saying: :
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not your enemy. Actually if everything went well, we'll become allies ."
"Allies?! What do you mean, Mr. Ibro?"
" Like I told you from the beginning. I'm here to make a deal with the Armonian President. I think I've proven my good intentions.
My good will includes Place of the legacy of Kane added to the number of traitors in your ranks.
In addition to Apidon coins which will enable your players to move to Apidon Mythic city and finally return scrolls to one city of a separate world that I own .
Now it's your turn, Mr. Ambassador, to prove your good faith in me ."
The ambassador understood what Ibro meant. He offered them multiple valuable offers that no one could refuse. In return he asked to speak to his president face-to-face .
When the ambassador thought of Ibro's request, he found it fair. If it was up to him to decide, he would totally agree with Ibro's demand.
What he didn't yet know was the price this youngster in front of him would ask from their president .
No matter how much money he wanted, they had to pay him without debate. the chances are only coming to the man once in his life. This time the ambassador was excited and felt lucky about Ibro's visit .
They were interested in knowing the place of Kane's legacy. But the fact was that they weren't that excited. None of them weren't worried because they didn't play long in the game.
possessing evidence to the place of this legacy would be very helpful to them. but they weren't that desperate yet. they were confident in their abilities to find this legacy with or without Ibro's help.
So in their opinion what Ibro asked in return was far less than what he offered. But now everything has changed. What he added was much more important than inheritance .
The ambassador spoke a little with those around him. Siraj then saw what made him very surprised. one of them left the room in a hurry. He was hoping Ibro would succeed in his plan to meet Armon's president.
He didn't expect him to succeed this easily. According to Ibro words , the Armonian president was the only one who could help them. Meeting any country's president was never an easy task .
He didn't understand what magic words Ibro used to convince those Armonians to concede to his demand.
He just understood how important this info is to Armon. if they were important to them hence for they were important to Hept as well.
Siraj looked at Ibro with a new look. He was no match to this young man in Rioneed.
He had secrets that no one knew about which made him unpredictable. He felt that the young man in front of him became a magician.
one moment he grabbed his stick and the other he pulled a rabbit out of his magical hat. Siraj sat down enjoying the sense of pride he began to have .
"this cunning little Heptian magician was one of my countrymen" that was what he said to himself.
Everyone kept quiet, staring at Ibro constantly. They looked as if they were afraid he would suddenly disappear from their sight. Ibro felt satisfied by the outcome of what he had planned so far.
There were only two steps left. if he succeeded in both of them then he could save Oya. He also aimed to at the same time strike hard on his enemies .
Whenever he thought about every passing moment would put Oya in a more desperate situation he felt deeply worried.
the growth of tension and concern in him reached the extent of a catastrophic degree. but he had done all his best, and now he had two steps left to reap what he had worked so hard to achieve.
Luckily he didn't wait for long. The Armonian man entered the room again with a group of Armonians surrounding a man who Ibro knew very well. He was the president of Armon .
As soon as he saw him, Ibro stood up with the rest of the room in respect to this man's stature.
Ibro had a different reason for respecting this man. In his past life, that guy decided to help Hept and other nations affected by the conspiracy of the G8.
As a result of his decision, other G8 began their heavy attacks on Armon. That led to the downfall of Armon as it was subjected to a huge burden. Armon ended up as a weaker nation and could barely protect itself.
Everyone might have thought this guy was crazy, but he knew that he was wise and fair.
He was a brave man that took a brave decision. Someone like him was rarely found an equal in a world controlled by desires and interests.
the Armonian president just nodded his head to the mysterious Ibro and then sat in the lead of the Oval table. Armonian ambassador kept standing between his president and Ibro.
he would be tasked by the mission of translation between the two. this time his face looked serious and formal. then he said :
"As you requested, Mr. Ibro. Our president has come to see you. We explained everything you said and he's very excited to cooperate with you. But what do you want in return?"
"I wanted something simple. All G8 had chosen their affiliate nation in the game. I wanted Armon to choose Hept as its ally in the game. I want you to give Heptians a chance to get the capsules for free ."
The ambassador's eyes grew wide in daze. He didn't expect Ibro to ask for such a strange request.
He hypothesized Ibro asking for a high price, for owning lands in the real world or even for cooperation between him and them in the game.
But his request was very strange indeed. The Ambassador only hesitated for a moment before he literally conveyed all the words Ibro said to the Armonian President.
Ibro noticed the Armonian President's face to change slightly as if he were surprised by Ibro's request. The ambassador conveyed the Armonian President's reply, saying :
"The president wonders about what you're asking for, Mr. Ibro. This request is of no personal benefit to you at all. Are you that patriotic?"
Ibro smiled. He had previously expected the reply of the Armonian president to be like that.
"I'm not claiming patriotism, but I couldn't fight the countries that are scheming for Hept on my own. You might have thought that I'd request a personal benefit but I don't need any.
In the end, we fight for the welfare of our country and our people. You know very well the implications of this game. My request is not strange. but rather it would be strange if I ask you something different, Mr. President ."
The ambassador conveyed Ibro's words, which were well received by the Armonian President. he shook his head in appreciation then talked a few words. The ambassador conveyed the president's words saying:
"The president appreciates knowing you Mr. Ibro. It's rare to find someone who would compromise his own interest for someone else at this time. The president agrees to your request Mr. Ibro.
The president will represent the country of Armon and will sign the agreement now with the Heptian president .
Hept will receive Armon's support in the game and will be provided free capsules for the entire population of Hept in a week from now.
For your part regarding the remainder of your agreement, you will coordinate with the group of the delegation that is here now ."
"Thank you, Mr. President. I hope you can make the Armonian ambassador here to contact me permanently. He knows the Heptian language and I trust him. He can be the link between me and you."
The ambassador's smile shone while conveying the words of Ibro to the president. The president shook his head and said a few words which were conveyed by the ambassador saying :
"The president agrees with your request, Mr. Ibro ."
"Thank you, Mr. President ."
Ibro then reached out and held a paper from the table. He then began writing many words on it. Everyone's eyes hung on him until he finished in minutes writing two full pages of words in English .
He grabbed the papers and gave them to the ambassador saying :
"give that information to the president. These two papers have all the information about the traitors on your side.
I've selected the most important players you rely on. Besides, there's information about Kane's legacy, its location, and how to get it.
The remainder of the cooperation I will honor immediately upon finishing your part.
After Hept receives their capsules I will send the Apidon coins and return scrolls to you. that means a week from now ."
