Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful!

Country M's Palace.

The King and his group of ministers were in the middle of an emergency conference at this moment. Everyone had solemn expressions on their faces and the atmosphere inside the room was so serious that it was hard to take a deep breath.

The King saw that everyone was remaining silent, even after a long time, and he finally said with displeasure, "I called everyone here not for you to act as mutes but because in times like this, what I need are your opinions."

The group of ministers looked at each other and someone finally broke the ice. "Your Majesty, I feel that we should hand over Lu Jingye at the very first opportunity. This time around, what he is facing is the combined court summons of more than twenty different countries all over Europe. If we were to allow him to remain here, it would certainly bring great trouble to our country."

After someone started to speak, the switch seemed to have been flipped and everyone started to voice out their opinions.

"I also think that we should hand him over. Even though we decided to cooperate with him before, with the current situation, Lu Jingye is dead meat."

"I agree. Right now, he is regarded as the enemy of the entirety of Europe. If we allowed him to remain, it would certainly incur dissatisfaction from other countries towards us."

"This kind of person should be handed over immediately!"

"But China's Embassy has already sent over a team of guards to protect them. We can't possibly go against the Chinese Embassy."

"That's right. They have invested in several major construction projects in our country and we can't have a conflict with them openly."

"Then what should we do? If over twenty countries were to join forces and question us, wouldn't we be in deep trouble?"

"That's right. For the safety of our citizens, we shouldn't lose the big picture due to small gains."

…

Everyone expressed their thoughts and the majority of them agreed to hand Lu Jingye over.

The King did not say anything else, other than to ask Edward and Justin seated next to him, "Edward, Justin, what are your thoughts?"

Edward immediately answered, "I also advocate for handing over Lu Jingye right away. The incident of Song Jewelry is not a simple quality issue problem. Instead, it is carrying a deadly virus. I heard that this type of virus is extremely terrifying. During the early stages, one's body would slowly stiffen before they lose all reasoning and attack everyone they see indiscriminately."

"Sii-"

Many ministers gasped at Edward's explanation.

Also, there were many who felt fortunate.

"Fortunately Song Jewelry had yet to settle down in our country. Otherwise, we would be part of the twenty countries right now."

Some people started to worry. "Even if they do not have outlets in our country, some of the noble ladies traveled to other countries to purchase the jewelry. Could they have already been infected?"

This caused everyone's expressions to change greatly.

The King immediately gave an order. "Alva, immediately take people to check. Whoever is in possession of jewelry from Song Jewelry should be placed under quarantine."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Alva stood up and went out.

The ministers' expressions looked even worse.

"We must hand Lu Jingye over right away. I feel that even our country wouldn't be able to escape from the virus. When the time comes, without the help of the big counties, we won't be able to survive this crisis."

"I agree. We must hand him over."

"I don't agree." Just then, Justin spoke out.

Everyone looked at him and thought that he was crazy.

"Justin, have you gone crazy? Are you still trying to protect Lu Jingye at this moment?" Edward asked with a solemn voice. "You have to think this through. If our country were to protect Lu Jingye, we would be placing ourselves against the other countries."

Justin looked at his eldest brother's furious expression and said in a calm tone, "Eldest Brother and various ministers. Please let me finish explaining my thoughts.

"We have always been on good terms with China and Lu Jingye is also their country's official merchant. They will definitely protect him this time. Most importantly, the virus was found on the batch of diamonds Song Jewelry imported from South Africa. This means that someone is trying to frame them."

"Justin, what nonsense are you spouting?!" Edward shouted, "No matter where those diamonds came from, why didn't the Song Jewelry conduct a test beforehand? If they did their due diligence, would that batch of diamonds still enter the market? Most importantly, that batch of diamonds was sold to the nobles and ladies in high society. Do you know how terrifying the situation would be once this virus spreads on a large scale?

"If you advocate for protecting him, it means that you are going to be opposing the other big powerhouse countries. How capable do you think you are to fight against them?"

There was a strong accusation in Edward's words. The other ministers also agreed with him and accused Justin of disregarding the overall situation.

Justin received disapproval from all directions and he swallowed the words he originally wanted to say.

Just then, the King seated next to him suddenly reached out from under the table and patted his hand.

It seemed as though he was comforting and encouraging him to speak out.

Justin suddenly had newfound courage as he said loudly, "I believe that Lu Jingye was set up. Moreover, this type of virus is similar to what those extremists would spread!"

Everyone was stunned by his loud voice and they stopped talking.

Justin quickly said, "The whole world knows how skilled in business Lu Jingye is. Also, his wife has also gained a reputation for her skills in various fields. China values them greatly and I believe that they will definitely bring about a tremendous change in our country!"

"Do you want our country to be besieged by all the big countries?" Edward sneered. "I only know that if he remains here, we will be in a miserable state. Perhaps the citizens would suffer greatly and in that case, it would indeed bring about a tremendous change in our country."

"How is that possible?!"

"How is that not possible?"

The two brothers' faces were flushed red with anger as they shouted at each other.

Justin said, "It's impossible that China and Lu Jingye would allow things to deteriorate like that. Perhaps they have already come up with a countermeasure. Right now, we only have to express our stand and our country can develop together with China in the future. If we hand him over right now, it won't solve the virus spreading around. In addition, perhaps our citizens have already been infected. Zi Yi is very skilled in medicine…"

"Justin, are you trying to make a fart sound like music?"

"You-"

"Enough." Seeing that both his sons were about to get into a fight, the King finally spoke up with a heavy voice. "Since you have your own opinions, act accordingly based on your individual opinions."

Everyone looked at the King in disbelief.

The King stood up and said, "I'm old now. It's up to you young people to find a way to deal with these things."

Having said that, he took his leave.

The moment the King left, Edward sneered. "Justin, since you want to jump into the pit yourself, from now on, it'll be each to their own."

Edward stood up and left after he left behind those words for Justin. When the ministers saw that he was leaving, the majority of them also followed suit.

Only a few who supported Justin remained.

"Prince Justin, what should we do now?"

"Eldest Brother will definitely find a way to capture Lu Jingye and hand him over. Let's stop him first."

He decided to pay a visit to Lu Jingye.
