Dan De reached out and took out a small oval-shaped black stone that was less than five centimeters long. He held it in front of Nangong Nuannuan.
“This stone is not even the size of a fist. If you can crush it, then Mr. President and I will believe you.”
Everyone knew that big stones were easier to crush than small stones, but Dan De used a stone that was only one-fifth the size of a fist for Nangong Nuannuan to stomp on. He even said to Nangong Nuannuan, “Treat this stone as a toe. I really want to witness how you can break it, Miss Nangong. You only need to break it; you don’t have to crush it.”
However, Nangong Nuannuan stomped on the stone without hesitation.
Then, she removed her foot.
No one saw what happened, nor did they see how much force Nangong Nuannuan used. However, when she removed her foot, the stone had already cracked into more than ten smaller pieces.
Everyone, “…”
Dan De, “…”
Wei Du gulped. He was glad that Nangong Nuannuan held back her strength just now.
“Minister Dan De, do you believe me now? I really didn’t do it on purpose. If I did it on purpose, the president’s foot would have turned into a pool of blood and flesh.”
A few VIPs standing behind them looked at the shattered rocks and could not help but fish out a few similar rocks from the pool to stomp on them.
One of them hurt their sole while the other twisted their ankle.
Seeing that Dan De did not speak, Nangong Nuannuan walked up and stomped on those stones too.
All four stones shattered when she lifted her foot.
Seeing that it was easier for someone else to step on stones than on peanuts, everyone was rendered speechless.
Now that Nangong Nuannuan crushed the bones of Wei Du’s foot, the banquet came to a natural stop.
However, seeing that Nangong Nuannuan did not crush his foot intentionally, Wei Du decided to go all out to win over this money tree.
After the doctor had temporarily bandaged his foot, Wei Du lugged around his giant pig trotter for a foot and continued to use his honey trap on Nangong Nuannuan. “Miss Nuannuan, you’ve come from afar, and Naboo is currently in chaos. Although things seem to be more orderly in City A than in other cities, there’s always the risk of getting attacked by Pang Long’s field army. It’d be no good to have you hurt. Why don’t you stay in the presidential residence instead? This will also ensure your safety.”
Nangong Nuannuan smiled. “Mr. President, you’ve forgotten that I’m half a citizen of Naboo too. After all, a large part of my wealth is concentrated in Naboo. This time, I’m not only here to attend Mr. President’s banquet, I’m also here to take a look at the damaged mineral veins from the chaos of war. Don’t worry, Mr. President. There will be people in our Imperial Phoenix Group who will protect my safety. They won’t let me suffer any harm. If anyone is blind enough to touch me, my subordinates will ensure the perpetrators are unable to leave.”
Nangong Nuannuan’s words were so domineering that they sounded impossibly arrogant. However, her words sounded very natural in the ears of wealthy people.
There was a reason why Imperial Phoenix Group was able to stand strong in Naboo for so long. Phoenix Pavilion in Naboo was only a small part of Phoenix Pavilion’s raw ore production source. Compared to the massive organization called Imperial Phoenix Group, Phoenix Pavilion was just the tip of the iceberg. The fact that Imperial Phoenix was able to become so powerful globally meant that it was supported by an unknown power. Meanwhile, these were not something that the wealthy people of Naboo could imagine.
Wei Du was rejected from giving Nuannuan food; got his foot crushed in a dance; his invitation to stay was turned down once again.. There were only dismay and anger on Wei Du’s face.
