Showing Good Will

The next morning, in a luxurious mansion.

The prince was in his study, flipping through an ancient book, when a confidant hurried in and whispered, "Your Highness, a spy reported that another dragon source aura was discovered."

"oh?"

Juntang raised his eyebrows, closed the ancient book, and asked hurriedly, "Where is it?"

"According to the investigation, this dragon energy was obtained by Logan Rhys." said the confidant.

"Logan Rhys?" Juntang narrowed his eyes slightly, quite surprised.

He had offered money to win over the other party before, but unfortunately there has been no response so far.

Later, he found out that both Wenxing and Guanglong had done the same thing.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Logan Rhys did not express his position.

Although it seemed like he was waiting for a good price, at least he hadn't given up on him.

Now that Logan Rhys has the bargaining chip of dragon source energy in his possession, it is even more worth winning him over.

Putting aside the West Lucozia Palace, Logan Rhys' identity as a martial arts master alone is already very valuable.

If we can join his camp, it will be like adding wings to a tiger.

"Where is Logan Rhys now?" asked Juntang.

"According to the investigation, he is currently staying at the Jingtian Hotel." The confidant replied.

"Go to Jingtian Hotel right away and make sure to invite Logan Rhys back." Juntang ordered.

"yes!"

The confidant responded and was about to leave when he was stopped by the Lord, who reminded him, "Remember! You must use the word please!"

"I understand." The confidant bowed and turned to leave.

At noon, a luxury car stopped at the gate of the mansion.

The car door opened, Dustin stepped out, and then, led by the personal guards of Juntang, walked into the mansion.

The mansion of Juntang is low-key and luxurious with strict security. It looks normal but actually hides a mystery.

After entering the door, Dustin looked around, secretly memorizing every detail in the mansion in his mind.

Although Margaret had already obtained the architectural drawings of the Juntang Mansion for him to study in advance, he still wanted to confirm it in person just in case.

At least for now, the layout of the mansion is no different from the architectural drawings.

The only problem is that there are many secret sentries stationed in various places in the palace of Juntang.

After Dustin entered the room, he found that more than a dozen eyes were scanning him.

It is obviously impossible to walk freely in the government without someone leading you.

Moreover, considering the background of Juntang, there must be experts in the mansion. If he is not careful, it will be easy to reveal his true identity.

With strange thoughts in mind, Dustin followed the personal guards of Juntang, walked all the way, passed through a rockery and garden, and finally came to the reception room.

Juntang had been waiting at the door of the reception room for a long time. As soon as he saw Dustin, he immediately came out to greet him with a smile.

"Brother Logan, I haven't seen you for a while. I really miss you!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Please come in!"

Juntang was very enthusiastic. He took Dustin's hand and walked into the reception room. He asked him to sit next to him and shouted, "Someone come! Serve tea!"

Soon, several pretty maids came in carrying tea and snacks.

"Brother Logan, this is a treasure I specially collected, please try it." Juntang raised his hand and motioned Dustin to drink tea.

Dustin nodded, then picked up the teacup and took a sip, praising: "It tastes sweet, has a long aftertaste, and leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. It is definitely a good tea!"

"Hahaha...Brother Logan really has good taste!"

Juntang gave a thumbs up and said, "I only treat such treasures to distinguished guests. If Brother Logan likes them, you may take some back to taste them."

"Your Highness, your kindness is hard to refuse, so I won't be polite." Dustin smiled and did not refuse.

Now that I'm here, I have to get some benefits so as not to arouse suspicion.

"We are all brothers, so there is no need to be polite. If you need anything in the future, just ask me, your brother. I promise to do it for you." Juntang smiled brightly.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness."

Dustin cupped his hands and changed the subject: "Your Highness the Third Prince asked me to come here, not just to reminisce about the past, right? If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Hahaha... Of course nothing can be hidden from Brother Logan."

Juntang smiled and finally got to the point: "Brother Logan, I heard that you hold a dragon source of energy in your hand. I wonder if this news is true?"

"Oh? Where did you hear that, Your Highness?" Dustin did not give a direct answer.

He knew very well that if he admitted it frankly, it would arouse suspicion from the emperor.

Given the other party's suspicious nature, it would be best for them to pull each other apart.

"To be honest, I have been searching for the Dragon Source Qi, and have spent a lot of manpower and financial resources on this. Therefore, I pay special attention to this aspect. Any movement will not be hidden from my eyes and ears." Juntang said with a smile.

"That's how it is." Dustin showed a thoughtful expression.

In fact, he secretly laughed in his heart. After spending so much manpower and financial resources, he was still easily controlled by Margaret's intelligence network.

All he can say is that in terms of intelligence, the other party is still far behind.

"Brother Logan, I know you have concerns, but don't worry, I won't let your hard work be in vain. As long as you give me the Dragon Source Qi, I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward." Juntang smiled meaningfully.

In his eyes, Dustin's hesitation was obviously just to get more benefits.

He has money, power and beauties. As long as the other party asks, he can give him anything. - 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. ...
