Chapter 284 World Conference x Secret

Happy time always passes quickly.

Soon, it was time for the annual tribute to heaven.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands has now become a great power and needs to pay 800 billion berries of heavenly gold.

Even though the Kingdom of the Netherlands offset a lot of the Baileys with its specialties such as royal jelly and hero's intoxication, it still needs to hand over 420 billion Baileys.

Although Xia Jieren did not lack the money, he felt uncomfortable seeing his wealth flowing into other people's wallets.

"Humph! I really hope a pirate comes and steals the gold from the sky." Xia Jieren cursed in his heart.

"By the way, when did Doflamingo steal the Sky Gold?"

Now, Xia Jieren really hopes to see someone stand up and slap the World Government in the face.

Unfortunately, the World Government has accumulated power for a long time, and there are really no foolish people who come out to grab the gold in the sky.

Powerful people all avoided those who had Tian Shang Jin.

Those who have no strength drool at the sight of Tian Shang Jin, or are sunk into the sea by the escorting warships and buried by the fish before they even get close to the fleet escorting Tian Shang Jin.

The world government official who confiscated the Heavenly Gold this time was not someone Xia Jieren was familiar with.

They were extremely indifferent throughout the whole process and did not show any good face to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Xia Jieren did not indulge them. As a result, officials such as Fan Li treated them in a completely impartial manner.

Finally, they revealed a piece of news before leaving.

That means the Kingdom of the Netherlands can attend the next World Conference.

Upon hearing the news, Litt and Butler Kiel were overjoyed.

On the other hand, Xia Jieren was not at all interested in attending the world conference.

World Conference.

Every four years, the monarchs of the 50 member states of the World Government come to the holy land of Marijoa to hold a World Conference to discuss issues concerning security and order around the world.

Although the words sounded better than singing, Xia Jieren, who had read the original novel, knew that the so-called World Conference was nothing more than a place for those kings to talk nonsense.

The World Conference will last for seven full days.

But during these seven days, the kings of the world could only argue with each other and could not make any effective decisions.

Looking at Litte, whose lips curled up after hearing the news that she could attend the World Conference, Xia Jieren asked speechlessly: "Litte, are you so happy to be able to attend the World Conference?"

"Of course." Litt replied as if it was a matter of course: "It's a world conference."

"The last time our Kingdom of the Netherlands attended a world conference was more than fifty years ago, during the time of my grandfather."

"I didn't expect that I would be able to participate now. I'm really looking forward to it." Litte's face was full of anticipation.

"The grand conference that decides what the world should be like - the World Conference? I want to see it, too." Robin put down the book in his hand and was also curious about the World Conference.

Xia Jieren poured cold water on him, saying, "You think too highly of the World Conference. The World Conference is not as interesting as you think."

"Oh~, have you ever participated in it, Lord Jieren?" Robin glanced at Xia Jieren.

"Uh, no." Xia Jieren was stunned for a moment and replied honestly.

Then, he changed the subject and said, "However, this does not prevent me from understanding the World Conference."

Hearing this, Robin and Litte looked at Xia Jieren.

There was an inexplicable look in Robin's eyes.

"Lord Jieren, can you please tell me about the World Conference in detail?" Litt urged.

Robin also pricked up his ears and listened.

"The World Government has nearly 170 member states. Every four years, 50 member states will be selected to attend the World Conference to discuss issues concerning the entire world."

"The 50 selected member states are very interesting. Some are strong and some are weak. Some are always selected, while others are only selected once every few decades or not at all."

"In addition, the kings of the 50 selected member states are both good and bad, with a ratio close to one to one."

Xia Jieren told us what he knew about the world conference.

"Why does the World Government allow those cruel and incompetent kings to attend the World Conference?" Litt frowned in confusion.

Robin's eyes flashed with understanding, "The World Government doesn't want the World Conference to make any effective decisions, so they deliberately make things difficult."

"Yeah, that's right." Xia Jieren looked at Robin with appreciation, thinking to himself, "Robin is worthy of being a doctor at the age of eight. He really has an extraordinary mind."

"Why?" Litte couldn't understand the World Government's motives.

"The World Government does not want a decision-making body that can override itself, but it cannot openly deny the wishes of the member states, so there is a World Conference."

“This can also reflect the democracy and freedom of the world government.”

"Just like the Void Throne in the Holy Land, Marijoa, Pangaea City, although the World Government claims that no one can sit on that throne, the Void Throne represents the equality between all kings."

"But in fact..."

At this point, Xia Jieren sneered, and was very disdainful of the world government's double-dealing behavior.

"Actually...what happened? Can you tell me quickly? I'm so anxious." Litte urged with her eyes wide open.

Robin's eyes were also full of curiosity, and she was very interested in these secrets.

Xia Jieren straightened his expression and said with a relaxed smile: "In fact, the Void Throne already has an owner."

"What!" Litt screamed.

There was also a hint of disbelief in Robin's eyes.

"Aren't the Five Elders the highest authorities in the World Government?" Robin asked seriously.

She would never forget the cold voice that gave the order to kill Dr. Clover through Den Den Mushi.

"The Five Elders... hehe... the Five Elders are nothing but running dogs in front of Him." Xia Jieren revealed again.

Hearing this, Litt and Robin were shocked and stood there in a daze.

"Then...then what's the point of the World Government...the World Conference." Litte muttered absentmindedly.

Just now, her worldview collapsed again.

"So, the World Conference is just like that. You don't need to take it too seriously when attending it. Just treat it as a trip." Xia Jieren consoled with a smile.

Robin quickly recovered from her shock. She asked suspiciously, "How do you know so many secret things?"

Xia Jieren smiled mysteriously and said jokingly, "Secret!"

"Hmph! If you don't want to tell me, forget it. I don't want to know." Robin rolled his eyes and snorted coldly.

Suddenly, Xia Jieren reminded: "By the way, don't tell anyone else what I just said, otherwise we will be in danger."

"Aren't you very powerful? Are you afraid of the World Government?" Robin stared at Xia Jieren playfully.

Xia Jieren shook his head. "If the World Government targets us, I can take you away at any time, but the Kingdom of the Netherlands... The Kingdom of the Netherlands will be destroyed by the World Government in an instant."
