Chapter 472: Proof of Identity
"Stop fighting, please...... Please don't fight. His Highness lay on the ground and pleaded.
"Alright. Don't hit him, give him a face flush, and give him a towel and ice cubes to reduce his swelling. Lin Rui sat there, drinking red wine comfortably. While using tongs to clip a few pieces of ice into the ice bucket and place them on top of the towel.
The black man shuddered and took the towel and put it in the corner of his eye.
"Now let's talk about it. Who are you, why are you pretending to be Guray, and what is the connection between this matter and the Secret Society? I'm going to know all the details of what you just said. Lin Rui said slowly.
"I ......," said the black man with some frustration, "I am indeed a Marvo, and I am certainly not Prince Guray, but I am his cousin. ”
"Dare to talk nonsense, I listen to your words with a Texas accent. Jason exclaimed, "I've been an American for so many years, do you still think I've misheard?"
"No, I can explain, you listen to me. Please stop fighting. The black man said in horror with his head in his hands.
Lin Rui glanced at Jason and said calmly, "Then say it quickly, don't test our patience." ”
"I am indeed Guray's cousin, named Dilya. In the 80s, the domestic situation in Mawo changed abruptly, and the young Zhuang sent soldiers to intervene in the government. The king and most of his ministers were executed without a trial at all. My father was the Prime Minister at the time, he was the uncle of Prince Goray, and I was his third son. It was he who escaped from Mavo with us, but because the military was too powerful, some countries in Africa could not contain us. Then he went into exile in Europe, and later in the United States. So, my Texas accent isn't surprising. The black man said nervously.
"So, you're Gurray's cousin. I'll just say it's not a good idea to have someone who doesn't know Guray know anything about him pretending to be him. Unless the person knows enough about Guray. Shogishi frowned.
"Then tell me about your purpose, what is the purpose of you pretending to be Gu Lei like this?" Lin Rui frowned, "Is it the instructions of the Secret Society?"
"No, it's because I decided to do it with my father. Mavo's military rule has brought the entire country to the brink of collapse, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fully restore the country. "But Ghuray claimed many years ago that he would not return as a prince. And if we want to restore the country, we must mobilize the forces of the major clans. Without Prince Gulei, this qiē is all empty talk. ”
"So, you came up with this idea. It's up to you to pretend to be Prince Gulei and contact the major clans?" Lin Rui looked at Dilia and said.
"We can only do this because Guray has abdicated his rights and responsibilities. "I grew up with him, and I know him well. I know what kind of attitude I should take to lead the people to start this war of restoration. ”
"Nicely said, the so-called war of restoration is only to regain the power and wealth you have lost. You don't take the lives of the Marvo people seriously at all. Like you said, they're just the property of the king. It's not even a person, it's just property. Lin Rui sneered and shouted, "Gu Lei is much stronger than you, he just saw this and gave up the throne." Because he saw the Mavo people as his own countrymen, and not as his own property. ”
"That's because he got too much Western education and forgot about our traditions. Dillia gritted her teeth. "In our tradition, the king should have a qiē, a man and a woman, cattle and sheep and land and rivers. All those who run on the earth, swim in the rivers, and even fly in the sky, one qiē belongs to the king. ”
"What is this? He thinks it's still the age of the monarchy?" Jason frowned.
Shogishi shrugged, "It's not surprising that many Africans still believe in witchcraft. So it is normal for them to believe in loyalty to the king.
"And what's the matter with the Secret Society's white gloves?" Lin Rui said as he looked at Dilia and frowned.
"He seemed to know what we were going to do and took the initiative to find us. He said that he would provide enough armament to assist us in taking Mavo. The premise is ......" Dilia hesitated.
Lin Rui helped him continue, "The premise is that they want money, and it's a lot of money." There may even be certain property claims. For example, if you win, he will ask for certain mines or other resources. ”
"Yes, we gave him almost 100 million dollars, which is almost all of the money we brought out of exile from the kingdom of Mavo at that time. "But they weren't satisfied, and they asked me for the right to mine minerals after the war." And ask me to give them six deposits at a time. Two of these uranium mines are the main pillars of the national economy of Mavo as a whole. ”
"They won't be satisfied, they're going to empty you all. That's what they've always done. Lin Rui sneered, "You agreed?"
"Not yet, but I promise they'll consider it. Dillia replied.
"To be specific, when are you going to do it?" said Shogishi with a frown.
Dilja shook her head, "It's not started yet, we're still preparing." We can't do this with mercenaries alone, we need the support of the Mavo, but they will only be loyal to the heir of the royal family, the Ghuray, so I have to pretend to be Ghuray to meet them. Prove to them that I am Gourley. ”
"How do you prove it?" Lin Rui frowned.
"It doesn't need to be that complicated. At the Bank of South Africa, there is a document that can prove the identity and inheritance of the prince. There is also a golden scepter, which represents the royal heritage. With these things, I can prove to them that I am the real Prince of Guray. As long as there is the king's testament and the golden scepter, no one will doubt this. Dilia whispered.
"No wonder you're waiting here. I'm sure you're waiting for negotiations with the Secret Society on the one hand, and on the other hand, you're trying to get the inheritance of the Bun Jiàn and the Golden Scepter. Lin Rui sneered, "It's really thoughtful, for the sake of your personal ambitions, drag the already turbulent country into the war again." ”
"Even so, so what. Aren't you mercenaries too, aren't you making money from war?" said Dillia in a low voice.
"Yes, we are mercenaries, but what we do is to end the war quickly, not provoke it. War is business for us, but we don't start a war for the sake of business. To be honest, we don't have that much energy either. We're just working, not fighting. Lin Rui sneered, "If you think that you can humiliate us with these words of yours, then you are completely wrong." ”
