The next evening.
Ace Bardon, Glade, and members of the convoy entered the speech hall.
Thousands of seats surrounded a lit up stage.
The convoy was right on time.
Pyramid Man stood on the stage.
Ace and company sat.
The hall lights dimmed.
Chapter 6
Pyramid Man picked up a microphone from a table. Speaking into it his voice filled the hall.
“Hello diplomats and attendees. I'm happy to be speaking at another Paradise Diplomats’ Summit. I hope we all find ourselves well.
“Some troubling news has reached my ears. Tranquil has plans to open their stunite trade beyond stunite medicines. All nations have plenty of stun-weapons.
“Tranquil wants to profit off production of weapons and spur on wars on this planet. Before they were diligent in only supplying stunite in the form of stunite medicines.
“Now Tranquil wants to be the planet's war-monger.
“I urge all nations not to buy any of their stunite for weaponry. We must stand with the international no-war pact.”
Ace and company watched with some bewilderment.
Pyramid Man went on for another twenty minutes, the topic unchanging.
Ace and the others in his convoy slipped out as soon as the speech ended.
