A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 345

"Exactly! We are attending a state banquet," Andrew confirmed with a chuckle before proceeding to recount the entire story.

It turned out that when all hope seemed lost, Andrew had finally made his way into Paria. To his surprise, not only was he granted asylum, but the Parian military had even fought off the Crawford rebel forces to ensure their safety.

What followed was even more remarkable—Paria had rolled out the red carpet for them, literally. Not only were they given the highest honors, but King Casper of Paria himself had personally greeted them.

Casper, who had embraced Andrew warmly, claimed that since Jack was his friend, Andrew was also considered a friend of his. Casper had then extended the highest level of hospitality, inviting Andrew and his group to review the troops together.

Afterward, they attended a state banquet, followed by the presentation of national gifts.

Even for someone as experienced as Andrew, this level of treatment was unprecedented. The whole situation felt surreal, like something out of a dream.

What thrilled Andrew the most was that Casper not only spoke highly of Jack, calling him his best friend, but he also publicly declared his desire to establish diplomatic relations with the Solara mainland.

Such an extraordinary turn of events was unheard of for an ambassador.

Andrew and the embassy staff were all left in disbelief, feeling as though they were living in a dream.

After hearing this, Jason's anxiety finally lifted. But he also realized that this could be a huge opportunity to build a relationship with Paria.

If they could indeed establish a connection, it wouldn't just be a major diplomatic win—it could also provide access to Paria's abundant metal ore resources. For a country like theirs, which was heavily dependent on the international monopolies of iron ore and other resources, this could be a game-changer.

However, these matters would require the relevant departments to plan and arrange.

After finishing the call with Andrew, Jason lit another cigarette, his mind racing as he processed everything.

He knew that it was all thanks to Charlotte's friend, though the exact nature of the connection between this friend and Casper was still unclear. But the lavish treatment that Andrew had received was nothing short of shocking.
