Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2513: Apply some pressure (1)

I knew that it wasn’t the end after reading all of the reports that came in.

With all the incidents that happened, there was no doubt that there would be some kind of consequence. It was just that this consequence wasn’t for us, but rather for the countries that these incidents happened in.

We couldn’t do anything in the cultivation world since the situation was still tense, but it wasn’t as if we couldn’t do anything about the racial alliance.

In the first place, I already knew that something had to be done about the racial alliance.

They had already started getting more and more bold during the time that I had been away, but there was nothing that we could do about them. But now that they had caused these problems, there was an excuse to clean up a bit.

Looking at the prime minister who came to deliver even more reports, I asked, "Is everything being prepared properly?"

He looked at me as if he thought that I was annoying for mentioning this, but he still nodded to show that everything was progressing fine before saying, "You’ll still have to do your part in this. If you don’t show up, it’ll be troublesome dealing with them."

"Of course I’ll do my part. This is something that we would have had to do eventually since they were already getting too big for their britches."

"If only you took care of this sooner, it wouldn’t have reached this point."

Though the prime minister said this under his breath, it wasn’t as if I couldn’t hear what he said with my sharpened sense of hearing. At the same time, it wasn’t as if he didn’t know that I could hear him still.

I shook my head with a faint smile, but I ignored this comment as I said, "In the first place, we still needed them. We had to look the other way to a certain extent for the sake of the racial alliance."

He didn’t have any snide comments this time since he knew that I was right about this.

Instead, he just said with a sigh, "It’ll be good to finally restore the peace, they really were getting out of hand."

I gave a serious nod this time as I said, "Since we have the cultivation sects now, it should be easier for us to do this." Then with cold eyes, I asked the prime minister, "What do you think will happen if we put a bit of pressure on them like this?"

"Heh." There was this almost mocking tone to his voice as he said this, but it wasn’t as if he was looking down on the smaller countries.

Rather, there was even a trace of pity that was in his eyes as he gave this laugh.

After all, he knew that they were about to suffer because of what we were about to do to them. This was the kind of lesson that would make sure that they wouldn’t reach their hand into the cookie jar again.

...

"I’m sure that you’ve heard that there have been some incidents during this time."

There was no response that followed after I said this.

It was clear that all of them found it too awkward to actually say anything.

After all, they had been caught with their hand in the cookie jar, so it wasn’t as if there was anything that they could say to make this situation better. The only thing that they could do was accept that it happened and moved on from it.

It was just that we weren’t going to let them off that easily.

"Because of this, I propose that we form a group that will be in charge of auditing the entire racial alliance."

The moment that this proposal was made, the expressions on their faces immediately changed.

There wasn’t a single person that seemed like they were in favour of this.

On the side of the cultivation sects, they looked like they were enjoying some kind of play.

It didn’t take long before one of the representatives from the smaller countries suddenly spoke.

"Isn’t this abuse?"

As soon as he said this, the others all started joining in on this.

"This is a clear abuse of the power that the racial alliance possesses."

"Right, if we didn’t know any better, it might even seem like you’re trying to annex our countries."

"Is this really how the racial alliance should be handled? We joined willingly and we can always leave if things reach a point where we’re being treated like criminals."

In the end, they even resorted to using threats when it didn’t seem like things were going their way.

However, my expression didn’t change for even a second as I looked right back at them. With that same calm expression on my face, I asked, "Then if nobles of my kingdom or the other empires were to act the same, would you think that this would be the same?"

All of them fell silent the moment that I said this.

It didn’t seem like they understood what I meant by this at first with the way that their expressions changed, but that didn’t last long.

If they were chosen to represent their countries, they had to have a certain level of skill when it came to matters like this. They could figure out that it wasn’t as simple as the way that I was putting it.

After a moment of silence, it seemed like they were slowly figuring out what I was trying to say. The moment that they did, shock and a trace of fear appeared on their faces as it seemed like they didn’t know how to respond.

After all, there wasn’t a single one of them that would have expected me to suddenly threaten them like this.

I had made it very easy to understand what I was implying, so there really was nothing else that they could say.

It was as if someone that they had known for their entire life had suddenly changed.
