Appointment

The following day, Benjamin, upon waking, accepted the reality: he had not yet led Kakin to world domination, and he absolutely could not fall here.

It was extremely humiliating to be threatened and manipulated by a gang.

But dealing with a prince... does not go against his wishes, since the princes are competitors by nature.

The only thing he needed to consider was the King Nasubi Hui Guo Rou's attitude afterward.

After thinking for a moment, he called the eighth prince Salé-salé, and invited him to meet.

In Benjamin's eyes, the Eighth Prince is a complete waste!

He indulges in lust and women all day long, and has no achievements or knowledge in politics or any other field. He is simply enjoying life by relying on his royal background! Even if such a person dies, based on his understanding of the king, Hui Guo Rou's emotions will not fluctuate too much... compared to his abilities and status.

One reason he chose the Eighth Prince to create an opening for Oboro within the royal family was that the Eighth Prince had no brothers among them. His mother, Swinko-Swinko, only gave birth to him, unlike other princesses who had many children... This meant he would have more targets to deal with.

There will be further troubles.

Even after suffering a severe blow, Benjamin still believed that he wasn't succumbing to the Fills Family, nor was he afraid of that man... he was simply seeking the future interests of the Kakin Empire. Because the Fills Family's influence could indeed help him amplify the Kakin Empire's impact internationally.

Furthermore, the alliance between the two sides would also help him stand out in the Succession War.

"Your Highness... things are not looking good in the royal family right now. Your situation has made all the princes quite wary, and they think that one of you has started to 'eliminate' obstacles. At this point, even the most foolish Eighth Prince will find it difficult to meet with you." Upon hearing Benjamin's plan, a private soldier who acted as his strategist frowned.

"You need a very good reason to get him to show up, and it can't be a collaboration as a gimmick, because he simply won't believe it...or rather, Princess Swinko-Swinko won't let her son meet with you."

"You mean, the only way to make a move is within the royal palace."

Benjamin understood immediately.

Previously, the princes used to wander around outside every day, some participating in social activities, some secretly building their own power, and others frequently appearing in various entertainment venues. Now, they have all retreated to the palace.

After all, inside the palace... their safety is not a concern.

"Furthermore, you cannot handle this personally... Even if the king's investigation is minimized afterward, the infighting among you princes cannot be made public... including ours."

This is tricky! Benjamin's gaze was cold.

If it were that easy, Long wouldn't have come to him.

"In the name of protection?"

Benjamin thought for a moment. The atmosphere was tense, and the princes, unaware of the truth, were all on edge... Should he invite the Eighth Prince out under the pretext of protecting him? "To get around Princess Swinko-Swinko, that woman is not stupid, it's just that her son is too dumb."

The private soldier reminded.

As the two were talking, suddenly, a ghostly figure emerged from Benjamin's body and spoke in a human voice, "Don't worry, just lure him out to a secluded spot within the palace grounds, and leave the rest to me."

That voice is Omni.

"In addition, there is Princess Swinko-Swinko..."

The next sentence immediately made Benjamin and his men turn pale.

Do you know what you're saying?

Benjamin remained silent, but the private soldier beside him couldn't help but stare at the ghostly figure. "The princess is the king's woman... If you harm the prince, you can avoid some trouble. But if you kill the princess, it's tantamount to declaring war on the king, and it's suspected of treason... The price, even the eldest prince cannot afford."

"Don't be nervous, I've come up with a plan for you."

"Your injuries can be easily framed for the Eighth Prince. Just say that he tried to kill you... and then you discovered the truth, and out of consideration for your brotherly relationship, you secretly met with him. But you didn't expect him to turn on you and even try to harm you... The scene was too chaotic, which led to the death of the Queen. I have prepared some fabricated evidence for you, which may come in handy."

The ghost laughed.

"That's too naive! The King and everyone in the royal family know the Eighth Prince's character. No one will believe your explanation," the private soldier said in a deep voice.

"Whether you believe it or not is not important... This matter can never be completely cleared up. Those false testimonies were just for show. Even if they guessed the truth, so what? The person is already dead... It's irreversible. You can't just execute another one, can you?"

The ghost detached from Benjamin's body and hovered in mid-air. "Don't worry, your king doesn't care that much about family ties. He's... more indifferent than you think. What you're doing... is proving your ability to him and showing your competitive spirit... He'll be very pleased."

"In the past of the Kakin Empire, in his time, he did things far more cruelly than you do... He understood the rules."

The ghost seemed to be bewitching the eldest prince.

The private soldier said in a low voice, "Your Highness, this is too risky..."

To put it bluntly, it's absurd.

They didn't have a proper plan at all... The Fills Family was just acting recklessly, trying to achieve their goals without taking any risks, because the eldest prince would have to bear the consequences! Also, they always thought that they were only assassinating a prince, and they didn't expect that the princess would be involved.

This is completely different from what I said before!

"Your life is far more precious than theirs..."

"If you die, would you feel comfortable entrusting the future of Kakin to any other prince besides yourself? Do you believe they can ensure Kakin's glory spreads to every corner of the world? Look at your brothers and sisters, what kind of people are they... The second prince is inherently greedy and extremely possessive. Once she becomes queen, the Kakin Empire will be her private property, used to satisfy her own desires. The third prince seems to advocate peace, but he is inherently selfish and self-serving, and everything he does is actually for his own benefit... Moreover, as a soldier, you know very well... To expand the territory of the Kakin Empire, you can only rely on force, and only force!"

"Peace cannot solve problems."

"The Fourth Prince... your younger brother, is inherently ugly and has eccentric tastes. The Fifth Prince is diligent and cautious, but ultimately will not achieve great things. The Sixth Prince has a fondness for handsome men, is extremely jealous, narrow-minded, and overly compassionate. The Seventh Prince is an absolute opium addict, constantly thinking about expanding his small fireworks business nationwide and lifting the ban. The Eighth Prince is needless to say... The only one who seems to have some ability is the Ninth Prince, who has the most reputation and prestige among you... but he is too benevolent and upright, lacking ambition. As for the rest... they are all very young, lacking experience and shrewdness, how can they accomplish anything?"

"Only you are the chosen one, and the most qualified to succeed as king..."

The ghost floated in front of Benjamin, staring directly at him. "I will help you become the new king and dominate the world... Our Fills Family is capable of doing this. Of course, you don't need to worry about me coveting the throne... In the end, the mafia has no real territory or map, and its foundation is completely incomparable to the Kakin Empire... All I want is for you to speak up for the mafia after you ascend the throne and weaken V5's hegemony."

"You can refuse... but when a person dies, everything is gone."

"Once you complete this task, I will return your soul to you. I mean what I say. Otherwise... in your current state of a fragmented soul, you won't be able to maintain the vitality of your flesh and blood... and you won't live long."

After saying this last sentence, the ghost returned to Benjamin's body and disappeared.

"The eldest prince..."

The private soldiers on one side hesitated to speak.

"Call Salé-salé."

Benjamin made his decision and gave the order in a cold voice.

"Yes."

Seeing the prince's expression, the private soldiers knew they could no longer dissuade him and had no choice but to comply.

An hour later, the Eighth Prince received a message that the Eldest Prince, Benjamin, wanted to see him.

Upon Swinko-Swinko found her son immediately.

The communication between mother and son was very unpleasant.

The princess was unable to dissuade Salé-salé.

The Eighth Prince resembled the Hui Guo Rou, only with more defined facial features and a greater height, sporting a head of upright curly hair. Unlike his later self on the Black Whale, he was not yet a man of excessive indulgence and obesity... He had clearly defined muscles and spoke with a hearty smile.

He doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives at all.

"Succession War? Forget about them, they can go eat shit!"

"We're brothers, how could he possibly harm me!"

Seeing his mother exaggerate the seriousness of the situation, Salé-salé revealed a set of white teeth. "Besides, we still don't know who the murderer is. The injured one is the eldest prince. He is the one who is injured... so he can't possibly be the murderer. Also, I haven't visited him since he was injured... so let's take this opportunity to strengthen the bond between us brothers."

Unable to stop her son, the princess turned to a private soldier. "Where did the eldest prince say we should meet?"

"Over at the National Assembly building..."

Not far from the royal palace.

Fine.

"Then I'll go too... Also, send someone to inform the King about the meeting between the Eighth Prince and the First Prince!" the Queen ordered.

"Yes."

The former turned and left.

After doing all this, the princess's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed slightly.

"Mother, don't worry... I was quite surprised to hear that the eldest prince was seriously injured and still called me... Although I rarely see him and we don't talk much, the fact that he called me shows that we have a good relationship. He probably wants my help in investigating the murderer..."

Salé-salé offered a reassuring remark, then turned and left.

"The weather is so nice today... it's really lifted my spirits, yeah~~"

The princess, following behind, looked at her son's back with a worried expression.

The eldest prince has military power and is also a prince of high rank, so his position in the royal family is extraordinary... If they really wanted to investigate, they wouldn't need to rely on the power of the other princes.

Moreover, the fact that the eldest prince was attacked is itself very suspicious.

To outsiders, the eldest prince, though arrogant, is a symbol of power... If the murderer were any other prince, who would dare to target him first?

There were many princes left who would have been easier targets...

A moment later, the group got into the car.

The princess discovered that several stunningly beautiful women were already seated in the carriage. Moreover, after getting in, the Eighth Prince completely ignored his mother, embracing the women on both sides and even behaving very intimately... showing no shame whatsoever.

She knew her son's personality well and didn't know what to say...

He could only watch as those women struggled and tried every possible way to please the prince before them.

The scene... was very ambiguous and vulgar.

After a while, the car arrived at its destination at the agreed time.

As soon as they got out of the car, the princess and the eighth prince saw the eldest prince Benjamin, in military uniform, standing in the center of the open space, surrounded by his men... each with a serious expression, clearly elite soldiers with exceptional skills.

What concerned the princess was that she noticed... there was no one else around, it seemed to have been cleared out.

However, it makes sense... after all, they are of high status.

It could also be for safety reasons.

The princess and her son also brought their private soldiers, but there weren't many of them.

The princess made arrangements for her private soldiers and then went over with her son.

Prince Salé-salé, with a scantily clad, sexy woman on each side, smiled at Benjamin and said, "I heard you were badly injured... but it seems you're recovering quite well now, that's wonderful! I was so worried..."

Benjamin stared at his brother, expressionless.

He seemed unable to sense the warmth in the Eighth Prince's words... his eyes were only cold.

His annoyance was not concealed.

Especially when he saw that the Eighth Prince was bringing a woman over... the smile on the other man's face made Benjamin feel nauseous.

He gave a wink to his private soldiers, who then gestured to their colleagues. Immediately, the eldest prince's men changed formation and surrounded the eighth prince and his queen.

Princess Swinko-Swinko sensed something and looked alarmed.

But Hachioji carelessly walked up to Benjamin, seemingly unaware that... something was wrong.

At that moment, a face disguised as a private soldier appeared beside Benjamin.

Bare, a guard instructor at the royal palace, is also a member of the Fills Family.

The Eighth Prince and the Queen cannot be killed by Benjamin and his private soldiers... because Nen can be used to make a lot of a fuss just by the act of 'killing'.

Afterwards, as long as the eldest prince doesn't admit to killing the person, and he didn't issue any orders to his private soldiers to attack or kill them... that's fine.

The whole thing was fabricated, with the Eighth Prince trying to harm him, causing chaos in the situation.

After killing his two targets, Bare will also take his own life, sacrificing it for the Fills Family.

He was also accused of being a lackey of the Eighth Prince.

The entire plan has obvious flaws and is not foolproof... but that will not change the outcome.

The eldest prince has the ability to pull through...

As long as the Fills Family's goals are achieved, that's all that matters.

More than half an hour ago.

In the palace, King Nasubi Hui Guo Rou, who was having a meal while working, received a message from his subordinates.

The eldest prince and the eighth prince met at the National Assembly Hall.

This made Hui Guo Rou pinch his thin mustache, then he waved his hand, signaling the others to leave.

Then, with a smile, he took out a special phone and dialed a number.

"The person you're interested in is at the National Assembly Hall..."

2 in 1.

Besides...
