Calculation

"this……"

Dustin pretended to be hesitant and did not respond in time.

Li Juntang watched the man in front of him fall into deep thought, and he became more and more certain that the other party was calculating the gains and losses.

He leaned forward slightly, with a warmer smile on his face, and continued, "Brother Logan, you should know how important Dragon Source Qi is to me. If I can gather enough Dragon Source Qi, I will have great luck and it will be easier for me to ascend to the throne. By then, I will never treat you unfairly!"

As he spoke, he paid attention to the changes in Dustin's expression, trying to catch even the slightest sign of looseness.

Dustin raised his eyes and met Li Juntang's gaze, a barely perceptible hint of thought flashing across his eyes.

Dustin pursed his lips and spoke slowly: "Your Highness is right, but this Dragon Source Qi is not easy to come by, and I really went through a lot of trouble. Moreover, if I give the Dragon Source Qi to you, the Third Prince, I am afraid that I will offend the other two princes."

He paused deliberately and didn't finish his words, but his worry was self-evident.

"Brother Logan, you can rest assured! This matter is known to heaven, earth, you and me, and no third person will know about it."

Li Juntang immediately understood what he meant, patted his chest and promised: "Let's take a step back. Even if Li Wenxing and Li Guanglong know something, I will do my best to protect you and will never let you be threatened!"

He spoke in a decisive tone, his eyes revealing an unquestionable dominance.

"Your Highness is so sincere, how can I not respond? But I have another question to ask you." Dustin changed the subject.

"Brother Logan, please feel free to speak." Li Juntang's eyes lit up.

As long as Dustin is willing to hand over the Dragon Source Energy, he can agree to any other conditions.

"Your Highness, how confident are you that you can ascend to the throne?" Dustin suddenly asked.

"oh?"

Li Juntang raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

He didn't expect Dustin to ask such a question. The other party had made his attitude clear before and did not intend to interfere in the court dispute.

Now it seems that the other party seems to be interested in joining the game.

After thinking about it, Li Juntang said meaningfully: "If Brother Logan can hand over the Dragon Source Qi in his hand, then I, who have great luck, will at least have a 50% chance of success."

At this point, Li Juntang changed the subject: "Of course, if Brother Logan is willing to help me, I am at least 80% sure!"

Not only does Dustin have the strength of a master, but he also has the support of the West Lucozia Palace. Both as an individual and in terms of power, he is one of the best in Dragonmarsh.

It is much more useful than any royal family.

As for the 80% certainty he mentioned, it was still a conservative estimate if he could get the support of the West Lucozia Palace.

Even if Li Wenxing and Li Guanglong joined forces, they still could not compete with him.

After listening to this, Dustin did not respond immediately. Instead, he picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea, as if he was savoring Li Juntang's words.

Li Juntang felt anxious when he saw this, but he didn't want to show that he was too anxious.

He suppressed his inner emotions and continued, "Brother Logan, you are a smart man. Now that civil strife is approaching, it is difficult for you to stay out of trouble with your status and position. Even if you don't consider yourself, you have to consider the West Lucozia Palace. If my eldest brother or my second brother comes to power, given their character, they will definitely not tolerate the existence of the West Lucozia Palace.

The first thing they will do when they get to the top is to cut the number of fans!

But I am different. I care about the world and the country and the people. I am well aware of the contribution of the West Lucozia Palace to the Dragonmarsh.

As long as you surrender to me, I can guarantee that not only will you enjoy extraordinary treatment, but I can also protect the long-term stability of the West Lucozia Palace!

If you don’t believe me, I can swear now!”

As he said this, Li Juntang raised his hand, as if he was about to swear an oath.

Seeing this scene, Dustin just found it a little funny.

He has the whole world in his heart and he even said it out loud. This guy is really thick-skinned.

Although he was laughing in his heart, Dustin pretended to be touched on the surface and said, "Your Highness is so sincere, I am flattered. But this matter is very important, I still need to think about it, I hope Your Highness can give me some time."

"Of course."

Li Juntang smiled and said, "Brother Logan, I understand your caution. How about this? You stay in my house today and think about it carefully. I will also ask the servants to prepare some entertainment items so that you can live comfortably in my house."

He knew not to push too hard or it might backfire.

"In that case, thank you very much for your hospitality, Your Highness." Dustin clasped his fists.

"Come on, the food and wine are ready. We hit it off right away, so why don't we eat and chat at the same time?"

Li Juntang was very enthusiastic and personally took Dustin's bag to the kitchen.

It is now noon, and Li Juntang has already prepared exquisite delicacies.

Compared to the Dragon Source Energy, he is now more interested in Dustin.

Although the Dragon Source Energy can enhance his luck, it is not 100% reliable. If he can get the support of Ultimate Grandmaster Dustin, he will have hope of getting in touch with the West Lucozia Palace.

Once we reach a cooperation with the West Lucozia Palace, we can get the support of the Spanner family and other major wealthy families.

Then the throne of emperor is basically in his pocket! - Ton

Life or Death?

At this moment, Hera was completely terrified. When she saw Dustin effortlessly dissolve her attack, she had already started thinking about retreating. Her instincts told her that Dustin was not someone to be trifled with --- he was an extremely dangerous individual. Still, she clung to a sliver of hope, thinking that with Zeus by her side, the two of them together might still stand a chance. But now, after watching Zeus get severely injured and lose an arm with just one strike, she completely panicked. Her strength was already a bit weaker than Zeus’. If even Zeus couldn’t withstand a single strike from Dustin, there was no way she could either. So, the instant she saw Dustin raise his hand again, Hera didn’t hesitate for even a moment. She pushed off with her feet, launching herself into the air like a streak of light, fleeing rapidly into the sky. At this point, all she wanted was to save her own life. As for Zeus’s survival? That was no longer her concern. Rig...

Trouble Arrives at the Door

“I was quite surprised that I managed to bring back the Dragon Source Qi so smoothly this time. Honestly, I was even prepared to fall out completely with Li Juntang,” said Dustin. “Oh? How so?” Margarert raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. Dustin didn't hold back. He carefully recounted everything that had happened, including Li Juntang’s sudden and unusual friendliness, as well as Hongniang’s intervention and her decision to follow him. “What do you think Li Juntang is really up to? He was incredibly suspicious of me just a day before --- nearly fought me --- yet the next day he completely changed, became overly friendly, and even gifted me one of the great beauties from the Rouge List. It's baffling.” Dustin shook his head. “In my view, this probably has something to do with Li Juntang’s mother, Consort Spanner,” Margarert said after a moment of contemplation. “Consort Spanner is shrewd and calculating. She must have realized that Li Juntang isn't your match...

Transcendent and Otherworldly

A burst of golden light suddenly appeared, neutralizing Zeus’s attack and at the same time saving Margaret from having her cultivation abolished. As the golden light gradually faded, a handsome young man emerged before the crowd. His hair was completely white, his clothes were ragged, but his entire being exuded a transcendent and otherworldly aura. He stood there silently in front of Margaret, like an unshakable mountain. “Dustin?” Seeing the white-haired, handsome man, Margaret finally let out a long breath of relief. She knew she was saved --- and so was everyone in the ancient temple. Although Dustin now had white hair, his appearance hadn’t changed much. But the aura he carried was now touched with an undefinable trace of divinity --- something she had never sensed before. And that alone was enough to prove that Dustin had broken through to a new realm. “You’ve worked hard.” Dustin turned and gave Margaret a gentle nod. A strand of golden light suddenly pou...
