"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, what do you think if Great Tang Group, in the future, focuses its development on the west side of the Endless Sea?" As he approached the door, Tang Mo seemed to ask casually, as if it were of no consequence.
Leite VII paused in his step, appearing to be stunned for a second, then he smiled and said, "We're friends, strategic partners. Since Mister Tang hopes to expand to the west of the Endless Sea, I am, of course, very supportive."
Tang Mo heard sincerity in that response.
In the other's eyes, there was surprise that couldn't be concealed. Tang Mo could even detect from his voice that sense of relief and joy as if a burden had been lifted.
"I'll consider it thoroughly," Tang Mo didn't say much more, offering just a vaguely noncommittal comment.
Leite VII nodded his head, then left the room. When he saw his Prime Minister once again, he couldn't suppress his joy.
