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

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...

Confused

“But... I’m not willing to accept this!” Li Juntang gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with deep resentment. He was so close to succeeding --- why did his father have to interfere at such a crucial moment? Could it be that his father never intended to make him the crown prince? Had all the previous favoritism and preferential treatment just been an act? “Son, to accomplish great things, you must have patience. You must never act impulsively,” Consort Spanner advised him earnestly. “One defeat is nothing; losing a bit of treasure isn’t worth mentioning. As long as you are safe, there will always be another opportunity. The Spanner family and I will always support you.” Hearing this, Li Juntang’s expression finally softened a little. Although he did not have the dragon source energy and the national destiny, he still had his mother, the powerful Spanner clan, and the network of connections he had painstakingly built over the years. With all these advantages, he could s...

Devise Strategies

Wu Yong stumbled into Li Juntang Hall’s courtyard, drenched in sweat, his clothes soaked through, and a lingering expression of terror still etched on his face. Inside, Li Juntang was seated at his desk, lost in thought under the dim light of a solitary lamp. At the sound of hurried footsteps, his brow furrowed, and he looked up to see who had come. “Your… Your Highness! Something terrible has happened!” Wu Yong burst through the door in a panic, completely disregarding any form of etiquette. “What is it?” Li Juntang frowned, his expression turning displeased. The estate was so large that the earlier sound of the door being broken down hadn’t even alarmed him. “Your Highness, just now, the Pantheon’s God-Kings --- Zeus and Hera --- suddenly stormed in and attacked us! General Zhang He tried to stop them, but Zeus merely raised his hand and summoned a bolt of lightning. General Zhang… General Zhang was killed instantly!” Wu Yong forced himself to push down his fear and quick...
