Although it had been confirmed that Huang Tian had never cultivated before, Ueshiba Tsunemori did not act at once. There were simply too many people here. If he made a move now, the repercussions would be too severe. He himself did not care, but this matter would inevitably damage the Eastern Isles' reputation—though he personally did not give a damn about reputation, there was no need to make things more complicated.
Thus, amid the flashing magnesium lights, Ueshiba Tsunemori stood calmly in a corner without making any move.
At this moment, the envoys of the various nations, along with Song Chengwu, Yu Faqing, and the others, had already stepped forward to greet him.
"Mr. Huang."
"Dr. Huang!"
"Lord Huang—"
Huang Tian smiled and nodded to everyone, then said, "Now that you are all here, let us go inside together."
With that, everyone moved aside to clear a path. Huang Tian took the lead into the Municipal Council building, with the others following close behind.
The signing venue for the General Agreement had been arranged in the indoor drill hall on the first floor.
The hall covered more than 1,700 square meters in total. Its vaulted ceiling soared overhead, while crystal chandeliers cast a glittering glow over the walnut paneling on all four walls. At the same time, the warm spring sunlight spilled through the semicircular windows and fell across the hardwood floor, adding a touch of ease to the atmosphere.
A long table stood in the center of the hall, draped in wide dark-green velvet. Several copies of the agreement had already been laid out atop it, printed side by side in the languages of Dayi, Ingolan, Falangxi, Dekeli, America, the Eastern Isles, and other nations.
Huang Tian naturally walked to the head of the table and raised a hand.
