A few Jetroinian soldiers quickly went over to help Nakajima to his feet, but the fuming marquis pushed them aside and shouted, “What are y'all doing? Kill him!”
Since Jetroina was the host of the event, most of the soldiers on duty were locals.
When they heard Nakajima, all of them marched forward, ready to launch an attack.
“I thought we're here for a meeting. I wasn't expecting things to get physical,” Nathan remarked, “But since you're fixated on starting a fight, I'll do as you wish.”
Behind him, Colin and the Elite Eight were already ready for full-scale combat in the meeting room.
Simone, who had been watching silently throughout, was not expecting a fight this soon.
Before he could intervene, Duchess Catherine beat him to it. “Stop it, everyone!”
As one of the most influential figures present, no one dared to take her lightly. The Jetroinian soldiers halted at her command as the country leaders tilted their heads towards her in surprise.
What is she trying to do?
Her tall and lean figure caught everyone's attention as she stood up.

Everyone fell into a silence.
They knew well that Ariarica had incited many countries to gather at Jetroina to disconcert Eurasia.
