Li Mu met Kalakaua I as he wished that morning.
At this time, three days had passed on the day of the riots, and on the day of the riots, Kalakaua I had sent an invitation to Li Mu, but Li Mu did not have time to meet Kalakaua I at that time, so it was delayed until now.
For Li Mu's seemingly unintentional neglect, Kalakaua I was very dissatisfied.
So when he saw Li Mu, Kalakaua I didn't have a good face.
And Li Mu was also shocked when he saw Kalakaua I.
Kalakaua I's face was very ugly, just a few days after not seeing him, Kalakaua I's face was iron-blue, haggard, and his eyes were full of blood, but fortunately, Kalakaua I's hair was curly, and it was also self-curling, which made Kalakaua I look less embarrassed.
In Li Mu's impression, Kalakaua I was eating most of the time, but this time it was different, Kalakaua I didn't seem to have much appetite, and he didn't receive Li Mu in the restaurant, but in the conference room of the palace.
This is the first time Li Mu has come to the conference room of the palace.
The palace meeting room is a magnificent one, with white marble walls, dark sandalwood floors, a roof painted with murals depicting traditional Hawaiian mythology, and portraits of the monarchs of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Li Mu noticed that the portrait of Kalakaua I was also there, and it was larger than several others.
Li Mu slowly walked to the opposite side of Kalakaua I, and Shi Shiran sat down and looked at Kalakaua I with a smile.
Li Mu only brought Yan Shun and Mason with him, and there were at least dozens of Kalakaua I's guards around, but Li Mu was neither weak nor nervous, let alone domineering in actual control of the situation, so he looked at Kalakaua I with a neutral and peaceful gaze, as always.
"Reem, I have to say, you really surprised me this time."
Kalakaua I glared at Li Mu with a fierce gaze for a long time, slowly closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, and then sighed faintly.
So far, Li Mu does not know how much the riots have to do with Kalakaua I, Fern Jerome is torture those traitors, trying to find out who is behind the scenes, and Li Mu will not speculate on anyone with unwarranted suspicion until the results are out.
"Your Majesty, paper can't contain fire after all."
Li Mu didn't have a head to say a word, and then stopped talking.
"Is Fernjerome alright?"
asked Kalakaua I.
"It's not good, he's stimulated and he's getting back on the field, so it's been a busy time."
Li Mu told the truth.
"What about Stanley Dewey," Kalakaua I asked.
"It's also good, he's going to San Francisco to negotiate with my stallion group because of a cooperation."
Li Mu did not hide his role in this riot.
"Very well, what about Duke and Charles" The ferocity in Kalakaua I's eyes flashed.
"It's not good, they seem to have something to do with this riot, so Fern is looking for them, Aiden is also looking for them, if Your Majesty has news of them, then it is best to say in advance, these two people are now the fingers of Qianfu, even if this riot was not initiated by them, this crime will probably be placed on their heads."
Li Mu smiled and provided the latest news to Kalakaua I.
Kalakaua I finally had his own guard, but unfortunately, this did not change anything, and Kalakaua I's guard could only stay in the palace, and could not even leave the palace gates, so compared to before, the news of Kalakaua I seemed to be more closed.
Whether Duke and Charles started the riot or not, Duke and Charles became scapegoats, the Americans were looking for them, the British were looking for them, but the two seemed to have disappeared, there was no news, they didn't even return to their tribe.
What is certain is that most of the Hawaiians who started the riot were from the tribes of Duke and Charles, and of course people from other tribes participated, but not to a high degree.
"What about you, aren't you looking for them" Kalakaua I looked at Li Mu with a complicated gaze, but it was obvious that Kalakaua I was relieved to hear that Duke and Charles were treated as suspects.
Alas, this is not good, there is no city government at all, joys, sorrows and sorrows are written on his face, this is not a qualified politician.
Of course, people are kings, so there is no need to hide it, and they don't bother to hide it.
"What am I looking for them to do with two lost dogs, they have no hope of success at all, so there is no investment value, I am a businessman, and I can't do anything without returns."
Li Mu showed strong self-confidence, and he didn't take these two people to heart at all.
"By the way, I forgot, you are a merchant" Kalakaua I muttered to himself, as if he had just remembered Li Mu's identity: "Now I have a business here, do you want to hear about it" "Of course, I don't turn down any chance."
Li Mu readily agreed.
"I can give Molokai to you, but you have to do one thing for me, to ensure that the existence of the Kingdom of Hawaii cannot become a presidential republic, nor can it become a damn constitutional monarchy, there can only be one king in the Kingdom of Hawaii, and no one can have more power than the king."
Kalakaua I foamed at the mouth.
Li Mu can now confirm that this riot must have something to do with Kalakaua I, and that Duke and Charles are indeed the scapegoats, and they may be hiding in the palace now.
The British and Americans searched every possible hiding place in Honolulu, but none of Duke nor Charles could be found, and only the royal palace had not yet been searched.
After experiencing the influence of modern society, Li Mu did not believe that Duke and Charles would give up everything they had and flee to the mountains and forests to be savages, the port of Honolulu was under the control of the US Navy, and the fleet commander could confirm that Duke and Charles did not leave the port of Honolulu, so Duke and Charles must still be on the island.
"Your Majesty, in fact, you also know that this is impossible, the British have lost a lot of strength, and in order to retaliate, they have already killed the red eye, and the Americans occupy the right time, place and people, so the Kingdom of Hawaii has a high probability of becoming the United States of Hawaii, if you are willing to give me Molokai, of course I am glad, in return, I can guarantee your safety, that's all."
Li Mu laughed dumbly and violently punctured the illusion of Kalakaua I.
Kalakaua I of the United States took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart: "If the Kingdom of Hawaii becomes the United States of Hawaii, what role can I play?"

Power is really the most delicious poison, as long as you have tasted the taste of power, no one is willing to give up, it seems that even if it is the cost of life, Kalakaua I will fight to the death.
"You can run for president, and of course you can be a rich man with peace of mind, and no matter what, as long as you don't make a riot like Duke and Charles, I can keep you safe."
Li Mu was sharp and warned Kalakaua I directly.
"But I just want to be king."
Kalakaua I's voice was low, like a trapped beast still struggling.
"Let's face it, Your Majesty, maybe this is the last time I call you like that, in fact, I have always thought that it is better to call you David" Li Mu did not talk nonsense, and succeeded in mending the knife again.
"You" Kalakaua I stood up angrily.
Dozens of guards led by Casparelli immediately raised their guns and pointed their guns at Li Mu and the others.
Li Mu smiled, lowered his eyelids and stared at the teacup in front of him, countless angry Kalakaua I, and the guards who had already surrounded him.
Yan Shun and Mason also didn't move, but Yan Shun's hand was always on the holster on his waist, Yan Shun's proficiency in drawing the gun now surpassed Li Mu's, if the situation deteriorated, Yan Shun was sure to control Kalakaua I before everyone.
"You seem to have overlooked one thing, their weapons were bought from the Horse Arms Company, and that's my factory."
Li Mu broke through the bottom line again, this time directly using "you", and didn't even call his name.
"So what, even if these weapons are purchased from your company, the bullets will still have an effect on you."
Kalakaua I was very inward-looking.
"You're wrong about one thing, I'm not talking about this, I mean, I know how much power you have, so I'm pretty sure that if any of you dare to shoot, then within half an hour, this place will be razed to the ground, and one thing you're right about is that a bullet hitting me does have an effect, but it's the same when it hits you."
Li Mu calmly looked at the angry Kalakaua I, still calm.
That's right, Li Mu has this confidence.
It takes courage to break the net, until the last moment of life, no one can be ruthless to fight for both sides, so Li Mu is not afraid of the coercion of the gun, although the palace is controlled by Kalakaua I, but outside the palace is Li Mu's people, and the US naval guns in the port are aiming here, so Li Mu has confidence.
"Let's face it, David, the Kingdom of Hawaii no longer exists, make a decision now, before the British can react, otherwise what awaits Hawaii is the cruel revenge of the British, and the Americans will not be able to provide Hawaii with the protection it deserves."
Li Mu threw the last weight on the scale, which would be the straw that would crush the camel.
"Alas," said Karakawa I, he sighed and sat down in his chair with a dejected expression.
The guards then retreated, still standing outside the door with their guns in their hands, as if nothing had happened.
But everyone knows that there is no going back to the way things were.
"Let's sign" Karakawa I opened the folder in front of him, picked up a piece of paper and threw it in front of Li Mu.
This was the transfer agreement, and Kalakaua I sold Molokai to Li Mu on behalf of the Hawaiian Kingdom for $100,000.
One-time payment Although the future is still unclear, the current Kalakaua I is still the King of Hawaii, so Kalakaua I can still represent Hawaii
