Chapter 435 Let's See How Tough Russia's Head Is and How Hard Its Bones Are
Hakuto returned and nodded to Jiang Xiaobai. However, Jiang Xiaobai had an unpleasant look on his face as he looked at Hakuto.
Seeing this, Hakuto narrowed his eyes and asked what had happened.
"Russia side is unwilling to hand over the Legendary Cooking Utensil."
Upon hearing this news, a flash of coldness immediately appeared in Hakuto's eyes.
If Hakuto hadn't won, that would be one thing. But now that he had won, if Russia was still unwilling to hand over the Legendary Cooking Utensil, then Hakuto would not show them any courtesy.
Since he had won, the Legendary Cooking Utensil now belonged to him. If they were occupying his Legendary Cooking Utensil, what did that mean? They wanted to be robbers.
If they were smart and handed over the Legendary Cooking Utensil, Hakuto could pretend nothing had happened. If they refused to hand it over, then Hakuto wouldn't mind making them understand that Russia was nothing special.
In this world today, Great Ming was the ruler. Russia's so-called Tsar Bomba was not unstoppable.
It would just cost something to pay. If pushed too far, Hakuto could even erase Russia from the map.
[This Russia really doesn't know when to back down. The Thunder Empress has already lost, yet they still want to renege on the bet. Do they really think that just because they have the Tsar Bomba, no one dares to mess with them? If they really anger me, I'll just wipe out their entire country. Utterly senseless. I don't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of it. If it weren't for the fact that I can't act casually right now, I would have just taken it by force. Why would I bother with a cooking duel? Now that they've lost, they still want to renege. Have they never died before?]
[Never mind. Let Great Ming prepare. If Russia dares to play tricks on me, we'll just attack them directly. The example of Britain apparently didn't make Russia realize that Great Ming is still the same Great Ming.]
[I wonder if the Thunder Empress knows about this? Probably not. That woman is too proud for this kind of thing. But I can't be sure. Ah, why am I bothering with her? Does this country think its wings are strong enough to compete with Great Ming? If so, then let's tell this country: your daddy is still your daddy.]
The Thunder Empress, who was changing clothes, saw this diary entry recorded by Hakuto. Her expression instantly became ugly. Russia had lost and wanted to renege on the bet?
This was undoubtedly a heavy slap on the Thunder Empress's face. The Thunder Empress now felt like killing someone.
She quickly changed her clothes, then destroyed the long dress that had been soaked through. After destroying the evidence, the Thunder Empress immediately called the attendants outside.
"Come in."
"Your Majesty the Thunder Empress, what are your orders?"
With a cold expression, the Thunder Empress said to this attendant, "Go inform Russia officials to hand over the Spirit Storehouse to Hakuto. Whoever disobeys my orders can wait to be struck by lightning and turned to ash. No matter who it is, even if it's the Great Emperor himself. Tell those politicians."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Thunder Empress."
Daring not to delay the Thunder Empress's orders, this attendant immediately went to convey them.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai was still negotiating with Russia officials. However, Russia officials kept stalling, saying they needed some time to hand over the Spirit Storehouse.
Hearing this, Hakuto expressionlessly said to Jiang Xiaobai, "Enough. No need to continue negotiating. We're leaving. Since they're unwilling now, we'll come and take it ourselves later. I want to see whether Russia's Tsar can truly give them this confidence."
Hearing Hakuto's words, the corner of Jiang Xiaobai's mouth twitched slightly. He then stopped speaking.
What Hakuto decided was not something he could change. Moreover... Who knew whether this person had any trump cards?
No one would doubt whether the Emperor Shengzong had left himself any trump cards. Why were those Grand Secretaries in the cabinet both respectful and fearful of the Emperor Shengzong?
Wasn't it because the Emperor Shengzong had many tricks up his sleeve? Even those old foxes in the cabinet wouldn't dare to say they could guess what means the Emperor Shengzong had left behind. If one day the Emperor Shengzong thought it would be fun to be emperor again and wanted to retake the throne, then...
For this reason, these Grand Secretaries had always treated Hakuto like a great Buddha to be enshrined.
Although Russia officials showed no expression upon hearing Hakuto's words, their indifferent attitude clearly showed they didn't care about Hakuto's threats.
Just as Hakuto and the others were about to leave, someone ran in from outside. "Her Majesty the Thunder Empress commands us to hand over the Legendary Cooking Utensil to them."
Russia officials' expressions stiffened. They wanted to say something more, but that person directly said, "Her Majesty the Thunder Empress said that whoever disobeys her orders can wait to be struck by lightning and turned to ash, even if it's the Great Emperor himself."
Russia officials fell completely silent. They looked at Hakuto and Jiang Xiaobai and gritted their teeth, saying, "Please wait. We will immediately hand over the Legendary Cooking Utensil to you."
Before long, the Legendary Cooking Utensil, the Spirit Storehouse, was carried over. Hakuto coldly glanced at this Russia bureaucrat, his eyes carrying an unyielding chill.
However, Hakuto didn't say anything more. He directly took Jiang Xiaobai and left.
'Russia, huh.'
Behind Hakuto, Russia official watched them leave with a dark look in his eyes.
He immediately summoned the person beside him and whispered instructions in his ear. Before long, the person left.
"The Legendary Cooking Utensil will forever belong only to us in Russia."
Watching the departing Hakuto and Jiang Xiaobai, the man muttered to himself.
After Jiang Xiaobai left with Hakuto, he immediately said to Hakuto, "Russia's attitude is a bit strange. Earlier, they seemed determined not to hand over the Legendary Cooking Utensil. Now, they suddenly changed their minds. I'm worried they might try something on the way."
"Give me the Legendary Cooking Utensil. You go back directly. If they really do make a move, let them. I want to see just how tough Russia's head is and how hard its bones are."
Jiang Xiaobai looked at Hakuto, nodded without hesitation, and then left directly.
This kind of matter was not something a civilian official like him could participate in.
Soon after Jiang Xiaobai left, Hakuto felt waves of malice staring at him. In the face of this malice, a cold sneer appeared on Hakuto's face. He wanted to see what Russia was really made of.
