so I'm a duck now.

But- oh no -the more famous triple alliance (cough cough), has come back, and their diplomat says:
"You have two hostages. You sell three of them to your uncle-in-law (the chancellor), using legislation dating to 1863 when someone takes you to court over it, then execute a financial blackmail at the secret hostage-trade plaza so that you get all four hostages back in your custody, with another, leading to you having five hostages total. The Geneva Convention rights of the six hostages are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island dealer secretly connected to your uncle (not uncle-in-law) who sells the rights to all seven hostages (not to be confused with the hostages' rights) back to your uncle-in-law's private custody. The reports say he (your uncle-in-law) owns eight hostages, with the possibility of six more."

Nah we're making human farms because they taste very good. (joke for now)
possibly even better than banana farms??
