38: Chapter 38: Trading Medicine for Resources, the Dragon Kingdom Recovers Lost National Treasures

"What?! You want our President to kneel and wait?!"

In the airport VIP lounge, the Eagle Sauce official heard the reply from the Dragon Kingdom's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and instantly exploded!

His voice became sharp and distorted with anger and humiliation.

"You are insulting our great Eagle Sauce! You are insulting our President!"

"We want to lodge the most solemn protest!"

The Dragon Kingdom diplomat just glanced at him coldly, a faint, imperceptible sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Protest?"

"Go ahead, please."

"However, I'll give you a friendly reminder: there are already over thirty heads of state outside queuing to see Mr. Lin Yun."

"You Eagle Sauce are at the very end of the line."

"If you choose to protest, then I'm afraid this meeting opportunity will be postponed until next year."

After speaking, the Dragon Kingdom diplomat ignored him and turned to leave.

Leaving that Eagle Sauce official behind, his face turning blue and white, looking as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.

"Too much! This is too much!"

He was trembling with anger but helpless.

In the inner room of the VIP lounge, the Eagle Sauce President saw it all through the one-way glass.

His fists were clenched tight, his nails digging deep into his flesh.

When had he ever walked anywhere without being surrounded by crowds and the center of attention?

When had he ever suffered such a humiliating insult!

But, when he thought of the order from the old voice on the phone, the pressure at home that was enough to overturn everything, and the elders in his family lying on sickbeds, gasping for breath and waiting for the "miracle drug" to extend their lives.

All the arrogance and anger in his heart finally turned into a long, humiliating sigh.

"Thud."

In the shocked gaze of the accompanying officials.

This man, once hailed as the "President of the World," felt his knees soften.

He knelt down.

Facing the direction of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

This kneeling was instantly broadcast to the world through countless hidden cameras.

The world fell into dead silence.

Everyone was shocked beyond measure by this scene.

The hegemony of Eagle Sauce was, at this moment, completely trampled underfoot by Lin Yun in the most direct and humiliating way!

From now on, there would be no more Eagle Sauce hegemony in this world.

Only the Dragon Kingdom order!

And at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, an unprecedented "Resource Exchange" conference was in full swing.

"Mr. Lin Yun! We, the United Kingdom, are willing to return all 12,000 Dragon Kingdom artifacts in the 'Oriental Gallery' of the British Museum!"

"And, we are willing to add 100 tons of gold as our previous 'custody fee'!"

Prime Minister Sunak looked at Lin Yun with a fawning expression, his posture as if Lin Yun were his monarch.

Lin Yun just nodded faintly and looked at Nightingale beside him.

Nightingale understood immediately; she took out a tablet with the already organized list of stolen artifacts from the British Museum.

"Mr. Prime Minister, according to our statistics, the number you 'kept' is more than 12,000."

Nightingale's voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.

"The list clearly records 23,742 items. In addition, there are at least 5,000 pieces held in private collections by your royal family and nobility."

"We demand that not a single piece be missing."

"Everything must be packed and air-freighted back immediately."

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Sunak's forehead.

He didn't expect the Dragon Kingdom to have investigated this so thoroughly!

"Yes, yes! No problem! I will arrange it immediately!"

He dared not bargain at all.

"Very good."

Lin Yun snapped his fingers.

"In view of your sincerity, I will give you ten vials of 'Perfect-Grade Gene Repair Serum'."

"Ten vials?!"

Sunak almost cried.

What could ten vials do?

The royal family wanted them, the cabinet wanted them, and the financial tycoon families who controlled the country's economic lifeline—who wouldn't need one?

"Mr. Lin Yun, look, can you give a little more?"

"This, this is really not enough to go around!"

Sunak pleaded with a mournful face.

A playful arc curled at the corner of Lin Yun's mouth.

"Want more?"

"Fine."

"I heard that there are still a few of the twelve zodiac animal heads from the Old Summer Palace in the hands of your private collectors in the United Kingdom."

"Send them back as well."

"I'll give you five more vials."

"Also, all the wealth you plundered from us during the Opium War, calculate it at today's gold price, and spit it all out with interest."

"If you do this, your royal family members can enjoy a lifetime supply for free."

Sunak's eyes lit up instantly!

Lifetime free supply!

This was a huge temptation!

"No problem! Mr. Lin Yun! I guarantee to complete the task!"

He was so excited he almost knelt to Lin Yun.

What national dignity, what historical issues—in the face of "immortality," they were worthless!

Next was the President of France, Macron.

"Mr. Lin Yun! We are also willing to return all Dragon Kingdom collections in the Louvre!"

"In addition, our Dassault company is willing to transfer the full set of technology for the 'Rafale' fighter jet, as well as the R&D data for future sixth-generation fighters, to the Dragon Kingdom!"

Lin Yun shook his head.

"Fighter jet technology? We in the Dragon Kingdom no longer need it."

His gaze swept over Macron.

"What I want is your luxury empire."

"LV, Chanel, Dior, Hermès."

"From now on, I want 51% of their shares. Moreover, all settlements must use 'pangu coin'."

Macron's face turned pale instantly.

This was the economic lifeline of France!

"Mr. Lin Yun, this, this is afraid..."

"Not willing?"

Lin Yun picked up his teacup and blew on it lightly.

"Then next."

"Don't! Don't!"

Macron was anxious; he grabbed Lin Yun's hand.

"I am willing! I am willing!"

He knew that if he returned empty-handed today, he would be torn to pieces by the hungry capitalists at home.

Just like that.

An unprecedented global resource redistribution, with 'Perfect-Grade Gene Repair Serum' as the chip, was proceeding in an orderly manner under Lin Yun's leadership.

Japan handed over their most advanced robotics technology and materials science.

Germany contributed their proud precision manufacturing industrial system.

Australia handed over the permanent mining rights to half of their country's iron ore and lithium mines to the Dragon Kingdom.

Countless cutting-edge technologies once considered "impossible," countless industries regarded as core lifelines by Western countries, and countless plundered national treasures flowed into the Dragon Kingdom like a tide, driven by the temptation of "immortality"!

The Dragon Kingdom's treasury was filling up at an incredible speed.

The Dragon Kingdom's technology tree was also being rapidly maxed out in this "transaction"!

Old Chen and Xiao Zhang watched from the side, completely numb.

They felt that they were not witnessing history.

But witnessing the birth of a myth!

Lin Yun, with the power of one person, made global wealth and resources flow back to the East!

I don't know how much time passed.

When the last head of state left, satisfied but deeply pained.

Lin Yun stretched.

"Finally quiet."

Old Chen looked at the agreements that could be called "humiliating to the country" and said excitedly:

"Comrade Lin Yun! This time, our Dragon Kingdom is truly going to rise! We are completely standing at the pinnacle of the world!"

Lin Yun just smiled faintly.

His gaze looked out the window at the Eagle Sauce President, who was still kneeling in the direction of the airport with a lonely figure.

"Old Chen, the good show has just begun."

"Those recovered national treasures are just interest."

"And that guy, as well as the blood debt that his country owes us."

"It's time to make them pay it back, with interest!"

His voice was very soft, but it made Old Chen and Xiao Zhang feel a chill from the depths of their souls.

They knew that Lin Yun was going to carry out the final liquidation of Eagle Sauce!

And this liquidation would be more thorough than any previous one!
