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

Interception

Li Guanglong’s fingers gently stroked the ornate box, the chill of its silken surface seeping into his fingertips, yet it could not mask the damp sweat pooling in his palm. He glanced at Murong Xue, who was locked in a drinking contest with Batu. Murong was tilting back his head, draining a large bowl of amber-colored liquor. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, and in the corner of his eye he cast a fleeting glance toward the copper kettle in the corner of the igloo. That was where they had hidden the prepared knockout drug --- brewed from a poisonous herb of the icefields that gave off a sweet aroma. Once mixed into strong liquor, it was nearly impossible to detect. “Leader Batu truly has a mighty capacity for drink!” Murong Xue slammed his empty bowl down on the table, sending ice shards scattering. “This ‘ice-burn’ liquor cuts like a blade. Ordinary men collapse after three bowls, yet you remain unshaken. Truly worthy of being called the eagle of the snowfields!” Batu r...

Frozen Wasteland

The ice sculptures shimmered with a cold light in the biting wind, the soldiers’ twisted faces sealed inside the crystalized frost, as if still crying out from the agony of being frozen alive. Li Guanglong stared at those figures, his Adam’s apple rolling a few times as he forced down the tremor in his chest. He raised a hand to rub his still-stiff arm. The spot that had been swept by the white mist earlier was still faintly bruised with purplish-blue, the chill seeming to seep deep into his very bones. “Your Highness, that spirit deer carries a poisonous cold beyond imagination.” Wan Zhong leaned on his blade as he walked over, the wound on his lone arm having split open again from the cold. Blood seeped through the bandages, dripping scarlet dots onto the snow. He gazed toward where the deer had vanished, his eyes full of dread. “We’d best hold our camp steady for now, and not recklessly provoke the creatures of this island again.” Li Guanglong nodded silently. His earlier ...

Seeking Medicine for a Father

When Li Weimin’s decree was issued, reactions across the factions varied. At that moment, Li Wenxing was in his study, weighing the pros and cons of the recent trip to Southern Frontier. Although he hadn’t stood out much, compared to Li Guanglong and Li Juntang, he was still the more capable one. But this minor advantage clearly wasn’t enough to change the overall outcome. Just then, Qian Jin rushed in and reported, “Your Highness! A message from the palace --- His Majesty’s condition has worsened, and he has only a short time left. He has issued a special decree: any royal family member who can journey to Penglai Island and retrieve the elixir will become the future crown prince!” “Future crown prince?” Hearing this, Li Wenxing’s spirits lifted immediately. But soon after, he frowned. He had, of course, heard of Penglai Island --- but only in legends. Whether it truly existed in the East Sea, and whether it held any elixir that could extend life, remained unknown. ...
