Pariston's Appointment

"I would like you to invite Prince Benjamin on my behalf, in a private capacity."

"Long said in a deep voice."

"What are you up to?"

Upon hearing this, Halkenburg immediately became alert.

He knew the eldest prince's character very well, and the head of the Fills Family in front of him was definitely not a good person.

The matter these two were discussing was anything but ordinary.

Long cannot rashly approach the princes, otherwise the royal family will notice. Among them, the best person to seek cooperation with is...

Lone believed that none other than Benjamin could be chosen.

In the Dark Continent arc, the eldest prince, in order to fulfill his ambitions, showed the least concern for the lives of his other brothers... Moreover, he made preparations for the Succession War well in advance, which shows that he had long been determined to eliminate everyone.

That's ruthless!

And they have the ability to handle things properly after killing a prince.

The other princes, though also cold and indifferent, had a weaker innate advantage, making it less convenient for them to carry out their plans.

As for the princesses, Long had also considered them... but felt they were all unsuitable.

"I'm a gangster, what else can I do but talk business?" Long spread his hands and smiled wryly.

"How about that? It's simple, isn't it... As long as you can get the eldest prince to come see me, I'll give you this woman."

The Fills Family's control over the Honey Pot is comprehensive. They not only imbued it with curse-like Nen but also with toxins... It requires regular medication to survive. As a result, even if outsiders Exorcism, they are helpless against the flesh and blood that have been severely poisoned.

Perhaps some Nen could remove it, but it would take some time. During that time, the Fills Family would have enough time to react and detonate the micro-bomb implanted in its body.

The Fills Family does not tolerate any changes.

"Are you trying to interfere with the regime of the Kakin Empire?" Halkenburg's gaze turned cold.

He was naturally aware of the political press conferences that had caused such a stir in some countries recently... It wasn't hard to see from them that the mafia, specifically the Fills Family, had influence in some countries and were involved in shady dealings. Now, Oboro, as the leader, had come to Kakin and said he wanted to see Benjamin ... The Ninth Prince wasn't stupid; he instantly figured out Oboro's intentions.

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted? You've always been dissatisfied with the monarchy in this country..." Long said softly. "Besides, you overestimate me... The Fills Family can control some small countries, but a country like Kakin, with its size and power, is beyond our control even if we wanted to."

Having said that, he slowly stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the bustling cityscape outside. "With your father's intellect, he couldn't have been unaware... He's probably already taken some defensive measures and actions against us. That makes it even less likely I can interfere with the throne... So, don't worry, my alliance with Benjamin is only temporary. Of course, if you agree to join forces with me, I'd be more than happy to help you win the Succession War ..."

Long didn't hide anything and spoke frankly.

Upon hearing the words "Succession War, "Halkenburg's expression subtly changed.

"A den of snakes and rats!"

He gave a reprimand.

"It seems... all of you adult princes are aware of the Succession War..."

Seeing his reaction, Long smiled slightly, "I knew it... Growing up in the royal family and having this blood in your veins, even if the king hides it well, you will still hear some rumors... You can also find some clues from the history of the rise of the Kakin Empire. However, you don't know the details, and you are even less aware of the cruelty of the Succession War... Hehe."

Oboro chose to keep the Seed Urn Ceremony a secret.

"I'll only give you three days to think it over... Don't worry about the matter of the throne... Even I would find it difficult to turn the tide now, after all, besides your shrewd father, he also has a dog by his side, and I dare not make any rash moves."

With his back to the Ninth Prince, Oboro dismissed him.

Halkenburg's face darkened. He grabbed his girlfriend and left.

"Keep an eye on your men. If word gets out about what happened between you and me, you can expect to be collecting your woman's corpse..."

Before he even stepped outside, the Ninth Prince heard a sound coming from behind him.

He paused, then clenched his fist.

He naturally knew about Oboro's background and had done his research... He really wanted his private soldiers to kill Oboro, but he knew... he couldn't do it.

The woman beside him was terrified and kept begging the Ninth Prince to grant the family head's request.

Halkenburg glanced back at Long, gritted his Gums, comforted his girlfriend, and pulled her out of the room.

After a moment, sensing that the Ninth Prince had taken away the private soldiers outside the door, Long said calmly, "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, a Mafia carrying an infant in swaddling clothes stepped into the house.

"Sir, this is the child."

The subordinate handed over the baby.

It's a little boy.

Unfortunately, his right cheek was slashed by a knife, leaving a noticeable scar.

This is the illegitimate son of the Fills Family's Honey Pot and King Nasubi Hui Guo Rou, unrecognized... Due to his sensitive identity, he was spared but immediately abandoned. Hui Guo Rou allowed his lover to raise the child privately, but forbade the boy's identity from being revealed to the public.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this little boy will spend the rest of his life living in the shadows of the royal family.

Honey Pot then handed the child over to the Fills Family.

Does it have a name?

Long reached out and touched the baby's face, and smiled.

"Anu... Anu Wudoka."

The subordinate replied.

"Even their names aren't allowed to contain the words 'Hui Guo Rou'..."

He muttered to himself, "I'm grumbling to myself."

"Let the people below take good care of it."

"Yes."

Next, Oboro dismissed his gang members and strolled around alone until he arrived at the renowned Royal Military Academy in the capital.

This is where the Kakin Empire trains its military talent, and it's one of the reasons why the Kakin Empire has become a superpower. Once war breaks out between nations, these military talents are extremely useful, reflecting the empire's national strength. Furthermore, after reviewing the Kakin Empire's data, it's clear that in recent years, the royal family has been increasing its investment in scientific research... Leaving aside military and technological fields, the happiness level of its citizens seems to be quite high as well.

The people had great trust in King Nasubi Hui Guo Rou.

This seems to be a deliberately created social phenomenon and atmosphere.

What does this mean... it means that long ago, King Nasubi Hui Guo Rou had been consciously planning all of this, in order to prepare for the later announcement of the exploration of the Dark Continent and to make the people believe everything he said.

Across the street, Long gazed at the vast Royal Military Academy before him, bustling with people coming and going. Everyone was dressed in neat, uniform attire, and judging from the eyes and demeanor of some individuals, the academy's profound history was evident.

The Kakin Empire certainly has the ability and the qualifications to become a V6.

We just need a breakthrough.

By Beyond provided an opportunity for Hui Guo Rou, and the two hit it off immediately.

Beep beep beep...

Just then, Oboro's phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

Who is it?

"Ah... is this Oboro? I'm Pariston..."

"..."

"You're in the capital of the Kakin Empire, right? What a coincidence... I am too."

Long immediately narrowed his eyes.

"What's up?"

He did not hang up the communication immediately.

The fact that Pariston called at this critical juncture indicated that the other party must have discovered them.

His arrival in the Kakin Empire, including the route he took by spaceship, was kept quite secret... Even if a few people knew about it, there was no possibility of it being exposed.

This Pariston... he actually...

Which link in the chain went wrong? How was it done? Even Long was somewhat surprised.

He was thinking to himself.

What's this guy's purpose? If Pariston knows he's already in the Kakin Empire, does that Beyond and Hui Guo Rou also know? "Can I see him?"

"Place."
