CHAPTER 1546: CHAPTER 1598: THIS PRINCESS ISN’T SO COLD

A princess who was supposed to be noble is now showing all kinds of attentiveness to Li Yifei. This demeanor is quite unsettling for the other two women. Both had attended some banquets and events, and had seen a few princesses. Those princesses received the best education from a young age and learned the etiquette of the upper-class nobility. Just by standing there, they exuded an air of nobility, yet always gave off the impression of being like a vase with a very high price tag. While beautiful, they seemed somewhat detached from everyday life.

But now Sarama, on the other hand, made the two women find it hard to believe. The gap between the noble princess and the servant was a bit too large, especially when Sarama was dressed in a tight outfit that immediately portrayed her as dynamic and especially capable.

This must be the beauty of contrast. After interacting for a while, even Wu Shuwei secretly nodded in agreement that this princess was indeed different. A precise word to describe it would be that Sarama gave off a bit of a ’tomboy’ vibe.

She was breathtakingly beautiful, with sapphire-blue eyes, strikingly long eyelashes, delicate features, pure lineage, a tall build, perfect bust and hip shape, but with a somewhat rough-around-the-edges personality. And yet, with Li Yifei, she was very cautious and put in a lot of effort to please him.

As for Li Yifei, he sat there with crossed legs, surprisingly at ease enjoying all of this, like a lord.

This was merely Wu Shuwei’s thought, while Li Yifei didn’t feel anything peculiar about it. On the contrary, his unabashed manner made Sarama feel closer to him, as if the distance between them had narrowed.

Simply put, it’s a matter of one willing to hit and the other willing to take it.

With a smile, Sarama invited Li Yifei to her home as a guest, even stating she would personally cook a meal for him. Li Yifei nodded and accepted. Sarama also invited Wu Shuwei and Angelina, saying she would introduce them to some friends.

Both agreed, and following that, Sarama asked Li Yifei about his purpose in coming here.

Li Yifei merely stated that he was here to have fun and that he had met Sashar on the flight, who then invited him over.

Wu Shuwei glanced at Li Yifei and her opinion of him improved again. He hadn’t used a princess like Sarama to bring up the oil project, as Sarama had already explained her identity: not only was she a soldier, but also a lieutenant colonel, which was not a low rank for a woman.

After hearing the unit designation, Li Yifei even gave Sarama a thumbs-up and praised her a few times. The unit was not very well-known, but the division it belonged to was a renowned unit in the Middle East, incomparable to regular units.

Sarama was very happy to be praised and said, "Actually, without you, I might have been like those princesses, shopping on extravagant budgets every day or being kept like a canary for life. Now, my life is different, my world is different."

Li Yifei set down his glass and looked deeply at Sarama. This girl was eager to express something, but it wasn’t what he wanted to know. When he had saved her, she was still a little girl, and Li Yifei just happened to be nearby. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have had the opportunity to save her if he wanted to. So, he didn’t wish for her to face him with feelings of gratitude or the like.

But looking at her now, it seemed close to what Li Yifei feared: Sarama’s eyes seemed to hold only him.

It was as if a fanatical fan had met their idol, with Sarama’s eyes almost turning into heart shapes.

Fortunately, at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside. The butler personally came over and told everyone that the prince was inviting them to step out and attend the banquet since it was about to begin.

"Let’s go, it’s a chance to see things." Li Yifei exchanged a glance with Wu Shuwei. They hadn’t come here just to eat but to look for opportunities to obtain some useful information.

The Japanese side would be signing an agreement with Dubai tomorrow, with only one night left. It did not seem very hopeful. Wu Shuwei felt slightly disappointed. Despite meeting Sashar and Sarama, Li Yifei hadn’t brought it up, so she surely wouldn’t. Moreover, even if they did bring it up, it might not necessarily be effective. This was something that Sarama’s and Sashar’s father might have a say in, but the kids certainly wouldn’t.

As they stepped out, the hall was already filled with people. Sashar and his father, along with several dignitaries, stood in the center. Li Yifei also saw a familiar face: Parsons, the prince who had lost a billion US dollars to him. Next to him was Tonohei, who had adjusted over time, and now stood confidently among the crowd, speaking to Parsons with a face full of a confident smile.

Once Li Yifei and his group walked over, Sashar saw them, waved, and gestured for them to find their own seats.

Sashar and Sarama’s father spoke into the microphone: "I’m very glad everyone could come to attend this evening’s banquet. I hope everyone enjoys themselves. At the same time, I’m also honored to introduce some guests: Mr. Farahso from the United States, Mr. Bugatti from France, Ms. Elizabeth from England, and Mr. Tonohei from Japan. Your presence makes tonight’s stars shine even brighter, and I hope you have a great time."

When Gibbs introduced them, Sarama explained to Li Yifei at the side: "These people are all representatives of commercial collaborations with us recently. For example, Farahso is a famous international arms dealer. This time he’s also working with the unit I belong to, responsible for selling advanced weapons, though the prices are quite high."

Li Yifei nodded. The organization Farahso belonged to claimed there was no weapon in the world they couldn’t get their hands on. If you were willing to pay, you could even get a nuclear warhead, and at a large yield, not to mention advanced fighter jets, tanks, personal weapons from Europe and America, or even satellites, etc.

Of course, no matter how capable these people are, they can’t get advanced weapons from Huaxia, unless the Chinese Military sells them voluntarily, only then they might get them.

Li Yifei doesn’t know this Farahso, but has dealt with his organization before. It’s a fairly reputable organization, rarely engaging in hostile takeovers, since they usually trade with government forces.

"That Elizabeth is probably here to discuss natural gas issues, I’m not quite sure. That Bugatti, if I’m not mistaken, should be an agent, doing quite well around here these past few years. As for that Little Japan, he should be involved in an Oil Collaboration Project, I’m not clear on the specifics. Just looking at him irritates me, daring to insult you. If I had known earlier, I would have sent him a Flying Dagger."

Li Yifei turned his head and smiled at Sarama, shaking his head slightly, and said, "I think you’re the agent here, why are you even telling us these things?"

"You’re not an outsider, besides, you definitely already know these things." Sarama said.

Li Yifei said, "I really didn’t know."

"That’s because you don’t want to know, otherwise there wouldn’t be anything in this world that you don’t know." Sarama looked up, emphasizing.

Li Yifei suddenly felt that what this princess said made a lot of sense. Such blind admiration is really adorable.

Turning to look at Wu Shuwei and Angelina, the two women’s faces were tense, looking like they wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to.

Sarama’s words were somewhat useful to Li Yifei and the others, but unfortunately not very much.

Li Yifei whispered, "What’s up with that prince, the one standing next to the Japanese?"

Sarama said, "You’re talking about Parsons. He has an army under him, so among the princes, his power is quite significant. I don’t know the specifics, but the Prince Sa’er from earlier is his son."

Upon hearing this, Li Yifei’s pupils contracted slightly. So the root of the problem lies here, no wonder, no wonder!

Wu Shuwei couldn’t help but ask, "Sarama, can Prince Parsons influence this oil deal?"

"He can. Both he and my father are quite powerful in the royal family. For this kind of commercial partnership, Parsons can influence it to some extent." Sarama responded.

Li Yifei and Wu Shuwei exchanged a glance, Wu Shuwei frowned, thinking of a solution, while Li Yifei looked rather relaxed. That old guy on stage still owes him ten billion. Although he won’t hand it over obediently, Li Yifei can take it himself. So he’s not worried.

On stage, Prince Gibbs finished his announcement, then handed the microphone to Prince Parsons, who passionately delivered a speech. After he finished, the microphone was passed to several distinguished guests, each saying a few words.

While others were speaking, Tonohei leaned over to Prince Parsons because Parsons had beckoned him over. Once there, Parsons asked, "What’s the deal with Sa’er?"

It turns out that Prince Parsons had just found out about his son’s issue, and was furious upon hearing it. But when he learned it was Sarama, the troublemaker, he felt like he had nowhere to vent his anger.

Tonohei exaggerated the story a bit, causing Parsons to look even more hostile. Once he understood who those two Huaxia people were, Parsons gave a heavy snort.

Golden Eagle, huh? Even if you’re a top soldier, personally very strong, so what? I will make sure you die here! Parsons clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming with hostility.

From over ten meters away, Li Yifei suddenly opened his eyes, turning to look at Parsons. His sensitivity to hostility was sharper, immediately feeling the animosity from Parsons.

And just then, Parsons’ eyes also met his. The two exchanged glances, Parsons’ hostility was unreserved, but Li Yifei just gave a faint smile, causing Parsons to look away.

The banquet began, the Japanese were introduced, gaining recognition, and navigated the event with ease. Until the banquet was about to end, Wu Shuwei couldn’t find a way to approach those top politicians. Even if she did, upon hearing her identity, they would directly ignore her.
