章節 566: I have done much, I expect much

The prime minister tapped his fingers together after reading through the list of demands given by Chi Lian and Muyang. He found it quite curious how these two did not realize that right now, they were acting no better than the pirates. They were holding the treasures hostage unless their demands were met. Between husband and wife, the prime minister wondered who was having a worse influence over the other. He could see this being Muyang's strategy but was his wife innocent?

"We can rescind this negotiation you know, we do have the authority to take what you have found and you will not be able to do anything about it." he said calmly. 

"You can try." Muyang answered with a challenging gaze aimed at the prime minister. "You know better than me how that will play out." 

"You two are playing with forces beyond your control." the prime minister replied.
