Standing before Helena, Corey opened the box in his hands.
With a serious expression, he spoke earnestly, “Lady Helena, I’ve heard you’re naturally sensitive to the cold. This is a three- hundred–year–old Crimson Dragon Ginseng. It’s renowned for dispelling cold, boosting vitality, and even slowing the effects of aging. I hope it proves beneficial to your health.”
At the entrance of the grand hall, Raven heard the voices, and her gaze landed on the box in Corey’s hands.
From her angle, she could only make out the ginseng roots inside.
Even with just that glimpse, Raven’s eyes lit up with intrigue.
That ginseng seemed far from being just an ordinary Crimson Dragon Ginseng.
To confirm her hunch, she needed to take a closer look.
Just as Raven was about to step into the grand hall, Miyamoto’s disdainful chuckle echoed through the air.
“So, Vyrdenia’s so–called traditional medicine is just leaves and roots? And you, a high–ranking official, actually believe this stuff can cure anything?”
Corey’s expression turned icy the moment he heard Miyamoto’s cutting remark.
Fixing his gaze on Miyamoto, he retorted sharply. “Vyrdenia’s traditional medicine is not something a barbaric nation like yours has the right to insult!
“You must already know Vyrdenia is on the brink of being crushed by my Sunset Empire. You’ve given up on your country’s future, which is why you’re offering this random root as a gift, Miyamoto said.
The surrounding dignitaries from other nations and top global powers exchanged glances, shaking their heads in disapproval.
For a country that claimed to be the world’s strongest, presenting such a petty gift was truly disgraceful.
Corey’s hands trembled with fury at Miyamoto’s slander
But unless Helena consumed the Crimson Dragon Ginseng, there was no way to prove its worth.
Desperate, Corey turned to Helena, his expression sincere as he pleaded, “Lady Helena, this Crimson Dragon Ginseng is a priceless treasure. If you take it, it will surely help with your cold intolerance!”
Helena’s gaze turned cold as she waved Corey off dismissively
“I’m just the leader of Lunshire. Vyrdenia’s gift is far too much for me to accept. Take your things and leave.”
Corey’s breath hitched as he heard Helena’s blunt rejection.
“Lady Helena” he stammered.
His true purpose today was the treasure box in Helena’s possession.
Rumor had it that the box might hold the key to ascending to upper realms–or perhaps even unimaginable, priceless
treasures.
If he left now, Vyrdenia would lose its chance to claim the treasure forever.
Before Corey could say another word, Helena’s gaze turned piercingly cold.
In that moment, Corey felt an overwhelming sense of dread.
He had no doubt that if he dared to speak again, Helena would end his life without hesitation.
He took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Helena as he forced a faint smile.
“Since that’s the case, then we…”
Before he could finish, Raven strode in from outside and cut him off.
“If you don’t want it, Helena, fine, we won’t bother offering it. But this is Vyrdenia! Aligning yourself with the Sunset Empire, our enemy, and kicking out Vyrdenia’s officials–don’t you think that’s crossing the line?”
The moment Raven’s voice rang out, the hall plunged into silence.
Every guest’s expression cycled from awe at he

“How dare the stunning young woman speak to us, it she want to live anymore? they wondered.
