Part 2

Chapter 7

The Tranquil convoy were back in their rooms. 

Ace had sent electronic messages to the leader of Tranquil, Garret Save.

‘Rumblings of war being declared on Tranquil due to stunite only being traded as medicine. I met with diplomats and offered to trade some plain stunite, potentially for stun weaponry.’

‘We met with Paradise City leader Pyramid Man. He is against more stun weaponry being made.’

‘He did a speech at the summit. He urged nations to only use stunite for medicines. He semi-painted Tranquil as a burgeoning war-monger.’

‘We are meeting with Pyramid Man again tomorrow. Tensions are high but nothing to worry about, I don't think.’

‘Ace Bardon’.

Chapter 8

Ace's convoy were at the palace the next day at noon.

“Welcome, Ace and company,” Pyramid Man said from his throne. “I apologize for the tone of my speech yesterday. I wanted to shock potential stun-weaponry buyers. Tranquil doesn't want to sell stunite for weapons. I'm sorry I implied that your nation wishes to be a war-monger.”

Ace said, “I was surprised to hear this.”

“War talk, stun-weaponry deals. These are becoming troubling times. I’m going to ask some diplomats to see if their nations are still interested in buying stunite for weaponry. There is a week left in the summit. I'm scheduled to give several more speeches.

“Ace, let’s work together to try to put an end to this talk of trade for more stun-weapons. We'll meet again the day after tomorrow at the same time. 

“I'll tell you everything we've found out. If Tranquil wishes to sell plain stunite that is their choice. But please work with me to deter all of this.”

“Alright, we'll talk again the day after tomorrow. I appreciate your candor, Pyramid Man.”

“Call me Calvin. We'll put an end to this nonsense, I believe.”
