It was Shulman who asked that question.
Germany did not send an ambassador to this meeting. Obviously, Germany decided that Shulman was enough to represent their opinions.
It seems that Shulman’s identity may not be as simple as the prime minister’s son…
Nirina thought to himself.
This could be seen just by looking at the difference between him and Harry. They were both the sons of powerful families in their respective countries. Now, Shulman could directly serve as the plenipotentiary, but Harry had to rely more on Owen.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that Harry was more of a mascot now.
After Shulman said that, there was a commotion. After Shulman’s expressed his opinion, the representatives who had been amicable earlier also voiced their doubts.
“Yeah, we didn’t invite the representatives of the United States to come to this meeting. Wasn’t that a little thoughtless? What if the United States refused after we have discussed everything?”
“That’s right, didn’t we go too far in boycotting the five families?”
“Mr. Owen, I think you really need to think about this situation.”
Owen’s expression darkened when he heard what they said.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Shulman, who was the first to make this difficult for him.
Facing Owen’s hostile gaze, Shulman looked calm, not bothered in the slightest.
While everyone was arguing, Paul leaned into Nirina’s ear and whispered, “Aren’t they on the same side? Why is there internal strife?”
Nirina chuckled and said, “For them, whether they stand on the same front depends mainly on what their current goals are. Earlier, they rejected the Rothschilds as an ally, but now they are talking about their interests, which is another matter… Germany doesn’t want the United Kingdom to dominate and so they’re making things hard.”
