Discussion

The demonstration and performance showcase of the War God Armor Battle Suit greatly pleased the King of Thrace.

"President Sakchi, what is the intended selling price for each suit?"

"I apologize, Your Majesty. We currently have no plans to sell the War God Armor Battle Suit. We are still conducting a series of validations through practical combat, and it will be a long time before it is available for sale."

"You won't sell this, and you won't sell that. I suspect you look down on doing business with our Mika'ang Kingdom." Prince Glaed said with displeasure in his expression and tone.

"Glaed, that's no way to speak," the King of Thrace glared at his son, then turned to Sakchi to apologize. "President Sakchi, my son can be rather impulsive at times. I hope you will not take offense."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. His Highness the Prince is straightforward in his actions, without pretense or hypocrisy. I very much enjoy interacting with people like him."

"President Sakchi, your words bring me comfort. I must thank you."

Continuing the tour, the King of Thrace saw the Albion MS mothership.

"What a beautiful warship," the King of Thrace remarked with emotion.

"Your Majesty, you flatter us. Although this MS mothership is complete and has been deployed in combat, we've discovered many issues and it still requires extensive modifications," Li Jiaming explained somewhat sheepishly.

"Hahaha, Commander Li Jiaming, don't say that. I recall a saying in your Hanxia Nation: 'Slow work yields fine products.' Great things cannot be achieved overnight; they must undergo prolonged refinement." The King of Thrace looked at the Albion MS mothership with envious eyes.

Robina walked to her father's side, tugged on his sleeve, and gazed at the Albion MS mothership with sparkling eyes.

Seeing his daughter's expression, the King of Thrace affectionately reached out and patted her head. He then turned to Li Jiaming and asked, "Commander Li Jiaming, would it be possible to tour this MS mothership?"

"You are most welcome."

As the King of Thrace toured the Albion mothership, he observed its equipment, including the mothership's main cannon, the Mega Particle Cannon Turret.

The King of Thrace was deeply impressed. The person who designed this MS mothership was truly remarkable. This MS mothership might be twenty years ahead of its time internationally.

"Commander Li Jiaming, President Sakchi, your company's chairman is truly extraordinary. Not only can he design and develop excellent MS, but he can also develop such advanced technology for warships."

"Your Majesty is too generous. In truth, in the hearts of all our employees, our chairman is an incredibly formidable figure. We all revere him as if he were a god."

"I can see that. Commander Li Jiaming and President Sakchi, for you to have established the Skywing Mercenary Group and the Skywing Arms Manufacturing Company and developed them to this scale in just over three years, you are both talents with such high capabilities. If your chairman, at such a young age, did not possess extraordinary talent, he could never have attracted two talents like yourselves to work so devotedly for him."

"Your Majesty the King is absolutely correct. Our boss's talent is precisely what makes us willing to work so hard for him," Sakchi stated with agreement and pride.

Exiting the MS mothership, Robina saw an MS being launched not far away and couldn't help but quicken her pace.

"Robina," the King of Thrace said with a serious tone.

Robina looked at her father with a playful expression, pointing at the MS that had just been launched.

"Gentlemen, please excuse my daughter. My daughter is very fond of military matters, especially MS, which are her favorite. Was that a new Gundam you just launched?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. It is indeed a Gundam we have newly developed, and we are currently conducting test validations."

"Would it be possible for us to observe the Gundam's validation?"

"Of course. This way, please."

In the command center, the King of Thrace, along with his two children and six guards, watched the validation of the Gundam GP02 (Physalis) on the massive projection screen.

Robina watched the test of the Gundam Physalis on the screen, marveling at its astonishing reaction speed and maneuverability, her eyes shining.

The King of Thrace felt not only envy but also a strong pang of jealousy. If his own country's military weren't outmatched by the Skywing Mercenary Group, he would have ordered them to seize it long ago.

Glaed also watched the Gundam's test on the screen intently. The performance of the Gundam Physalis far surpassed that of the GM Mobile Suits his country had procured.

If his country possessed even one such MS called Gundam, their military strength would undoubtedly advance another level. In the event of a conflict with another nation, this MS called Gundam would at least grant them a significant tactical advantage.

He continued to watch the Gundam Physalis's test performance: evading meteors, dodging, attacking, counter-attacking, testing its massive, powerful laser cannon, and its handheld six-barreled rocket launcher, all while listening to the reports from the announcer on the instruments.

The test report for the Gundam Physalis indicated that it exceeded the basic standard requirements in many areas, though some projects did not meet the basic requirements.

After the Gundam Physalis returned to base.

The King of Thrace and his entourage arrived at the platform where the Gundam Physalis was located.

The King of Thrace observed the Gundam Physalis's test pilot speaking with someone, with several other people gathered around that person.

After observing for a while, the King of Thrace walked forward to greet the person.

Long Fei was listening to Zhou Na report on the performance of the Gundam Physalis, while employees nearby held tablet devices with test reports, ready to hand them over to him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Chairman Long Fei."

Long Fei turned his head to look behind him. The King of Mika'ang, accompanied by his children and guards, had approached him.

Li Jiaming and Sakchi wore somewhat awkward expressions.

"Your Majesty the King, you have mistaken me. I am merely a mercenary repairman from the mercenary group, responsible only for repairing this Gundam," Long Fei directly denied his identity.

"Chairman Long Fei, let's not play games. The expressions of your Gundam test pilot and the employees around you, as well as your demeanor, clearly indicate that you are the boss. Anyone with eyes can see you are lying," the King of Thrace said with a smile and a confident tone.

Long Fei knew that further denial would be pointless. He removed his gloves and extended his hand. "Long Fei welcomes Your Majesty the King to our company."

"A pleasure, Chairman Long Fei," the King of Thrace extended his hand and shook Long Fei's in greeting.

"May I ask why Chairman Long Fei did not personally greet me?" the King of Thrace asked with a smile, but with a tone of mild reproach.

"I have always been poor at socializing and entertaining distinguished guests and clients, so I delegate these tasks to my capable assistants. I hope Your Majesty the King will not hold it against me."

"Not at all. However, I wish to discuss some matters directly with Chairman Long Fei."

"Your Majesty the King, if you are looking to purchase a Gundam, then I can only express my sincere regret. The Gundam is not for sale. As for other matters, President Sakchi should have already clarified them," Long Fei stated his position directly.

The Chief Guard of Thrace was about to step forward and reprimand Long Fei's attitude when the King of Thrace raised his hand to stop him. The Chief Guard could only retreat to his original position.

Prince Glaed frowned as he looked at Long Fei. It was the first time he had ever seen someone speak to his father, the King, with such an attitude.

As the King of Thrace, it was the first time he had encountered someone as direct and forthright as Long Fei. He was momentarily at a loss for words and let out a couple of dry chuckles.

"Chairman Long Fei, you speak your mind quickly, and I appreciate that. Your company's president has indeed explained some matters. As for the others, I wish to discuss them with you, and there are other matters I'd like to discuss as well."

"Certainly, Your Majesty. This way, please."
