Chapter 1188: Chapter 446: Fundraising (5-in-1)_6

Naz urged Xinlad.

After listening to Naz, Xinlad coldly spoke.

“You’re right, no one in this world is wealthier than them.”

At this point, Krido, with a furrowed brow, reminded Xinlad.

“Sir, these people are indeed rich, but it’s not easy to get them to part with their money. They value money more than their lives, and this matter is tricky. You can’t use force; if the scale isn’t controlled well and things go awry, it will be troublesome.”

“Do I seem like an unreasonable person? Donations must be voluntary.”

Xinlad said calmly.

“Sir, this is a brilliant idea!”

Naz quickly flattered.

“However, to maximize their donations, we need a heavyweight host.”

Xinlad said with a twinkle in his eyes.

“Who?”

“Miss Xilis, no one is more suitable.”

“Wise decision, Sir. I heard Miss Xilis is right onboard the Moonlight. As long as we can invite her to host the donation, along with your charm, we can surely maximize donations.”

Naz said with a sycophantic smile.

“Naz, you know what to do next, right?”

“Sir, leave it to me.”

“Off you go!”

Xinlad told Naz.

Moonlight.

Inside a tall building.

Hilis, holding a sky-blue long dress, compared it in the mirror and asked.

“Lula, do you think this looks good?”

At that moment, a girl with a doll-like face and a ponytail took a look and complimented with a smile.

“Miss looks good in anything.”

“With your response, I don’t know which dress to choose.”

Hilis replied somewhat helplessly.

“But it’s really hard to decide.”

Lula replied with some difficulty.

Just then, a tall figure wearing a blue shirt, with fair skin and somewhat feminine features, rushed over and said.

“Miss Xilis, there’s someone outside claiming to be a representative from the Federation, insisting on seeing you, very assertively.”

“From the Federation? Masi, let him in.”

Hilis thought for a moment, then said.

“Alright!”

Masi promptly left.

Soon after, Masi brought Naz in.

“Miss Xilis.”

Naz greeted Hilis politely.

“And you are?”

Hilis carefully observed Naz, feeling quite unfamiliar, having never met him before.

“Allow me to introduce myself, I am Nazi Major General from the Federation, aide to Lord Xinlad.”

Naz said courteously.

“Oh, is there anything you need?”

Hilis was slightly taken aback. Although she didn’t know Xinlad, she knew he was the highest-ranking commander for this escort mission.

“Miss Xilis, it’s like this! Our lord wishes to host a banquet, inviting distinguished figures, nobles, and wealthy people from Neutral Countries, and hopes to have you appear to host the banquet.”

Naz explained with a smile.

Hilis’s bright eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, and she asked politely.

“Lord Naz, may I ask the main purpose of this banquet?”

“Miss Xilis, to be frank with you, our lord wishes for you to host also to help say a few words. You know the Federation’s situation has been unstable lately, with frequent conflicts in major regions, and monsters from the restricted areas are moving unusually! Our lord hopes the guests will generously contribute and donate funds to address these issues.”

Naz explained the situation tactfully.

In fact, the reason they wanted Xilis to host was that Miss Xilis held significant influence among the nobles and wealthy in Neutral Countries.

After all, Xilis had been dedicated to helping disaster-stricken people and countries, with Neutral Countries benefiting the most.

At this moment, after listening to Naz, Xilis fell silent. Although Naz worded it tactfully, she quickly saw through their intentions.

They merely wanted more funds to buy weapons for war.

Hilis exhaled slightly and gently declined Naz.

“Lord Naz, I’m very sorry! I really can’t spare the time to help General Xinlad.”

Upon hearing this, Naz’s smile immediately faded, and he said with a fake smile.

“Miss Xilis, you’d better think it over. There’s an old saying, ‘What’s good for you is good for everyone!’ But if you keep disrespecting our lord, the consequences will be severe.”

Masi, the agent nearby, noticed the conversation was breaking down and anxiously advised.

“Miss Xilis, why don’t we just take some time to help Lord Xinlad host it?”

This General Xinlad, though just an admiral, is known to be soon promoted to General. He’s a bigwig in the Federation, and a little shake from him can cause massive tremors.

Besides, being with the same fleet, offending them won’t end well.

“No.”

Hilis firmly rejected the agent’s suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Naz’s facial muscles twitched slightly, and with a cold smile, he said.

“Miss Xilis, we respect you, but you’re a bit out of line here. You’d better agree to this; I’m not joking.”

“Sorry, I really don’t have time for this.”

Hilis resolutely refused.

“Alright, then I’ll go back and report truthfully.”

Naz huffed coldly, turned around, and left.

At this point, Masi, seeing Naz leave, anxiously spoke.

“Miss, this Xinlad is not someone to mess with. We can’t offend him, it will cause problems.”

“Masi, you don’t need to persuade me.”

Hilis said with firm resolve.

At this moment, Lula’s assistant asked confusedly.

“Sister Masi, is this Xinlad really that imposing? Miss used to refuse others too.”

“Oh! You don’t understand; in chaotic times, don’t challenge the gun barrel, or there will be big trouble.”

Masi said worriedly.

“Masi, don’t say anything more.”

Hilis replied calmly.

Masi sighed, replying with a long sigh.

“Ah, alright.”
