Chapter 1373 Becoming the Prince

The negotiations went smoothly and pleasantly.

To be exact, it didn't feel like a negotiation. It was just a project that some good friends came up with, chatted about over tea, and then finalized it.

From the perspective of Western forces, since Lei Zhen is willing to do this, why not do it?

The plan to kill him has already failed, and it will be even more difficult to implement it again. Given his current strength, a bloody fight is inevitable, and the losses will be huge.

There is also another crucial point: differentiation of interests!

Before, everyone worked together to kill Lei Zhen, but now the plateau continent has been completely opened up, and anyone can come in to pan for gold, so the temporarily formed God-killing Alliance naturally collapsed.

You want to kill him, right?

Yes, there is no problem on my side. You can kill them if you want, but don't count me in, because I am very busy and need to hurry to the plateau continent to make money.

The originally unified goal was fundamentally shattered as Lei Zhen completely released the plateau continent.

Even if some forces still want to kill him, he can only do it himself.

There are too many aftereffects of their own actions. Not to mention the losses, just think about the retaliation they will face after killing. Others can just pat their butts and get away with it, but they have to bear it all.

Besides, no matter how much damage there is, it is impossible to eradicate it completely.

So we have to do this kind of thing together, only in this way can we be closely united.

There is a saying that goes, "A relationship where two people have visited prostitutes and been to jail together is the most stable." The deep feelings between people are not determined by how long they have been together, but by whether they have done bad things together.

The common crime is the basis of the relationship.

At this point, the only option is cooperation, and this cooperation is beneficial to all parties.

Therefore, Western forces actively tried to pull Lei Zhen into their camp because they were large enough and powerful enough, and after becoming partners, their overall strength would also be enhanced.

In short, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, which is a good thing.

"Myth, you are God!"

As soon as these people left, Prince George expressed his admiration with full conviction.

Such a reversal caused the West to completely change its mind in a short period of time, and then gave up the assassination and chose to win over and become the best partners. It was simply like a fairy tale.

But Lei Zhen did it, and he settled everything with a carefully planned assassination.

"It was absolutely perfect! This assassination was a textbook example of masterful execution! Although I never doubted you, this move was truly breathtaking!"

He didn't know how to describe his inner admiration. It was clearly a deadly situation, but Lei Zhen managed to escape successfully with just a little planning.

Not only did he escape, but he was also accepted by Western forces. He is simply a perfect god!

"I was forced into a corner, and it just happened to be a blessing in disguise." Lei Zhen said modestly, "Actually, I didn't expect this outcome. At the beginning, I just wanted to escape the assassination and save my life."

Be high-profile when you need to be high-profile, and be a human being when you need to be a human being.

After all, Prince George is half-old father-in-law, and he already admires him like a little fanboy. We can't provoke him anymore, right?

Back then, this commoner prince was very miserable. He couldn't stand firm even though he had so many good cards in his hand. He can't make people feel inferior. That's not what a human being should do.

"Don't be modest, because I'm not jealous, I'm just happy." Prince George patted his shoulder and smiled.

"Then can you analyze the purpose of each of my steps?" Lei Zhen turned around and asked, "If you were in my shoes, how would you break the deadlock? Or in other words..."

"My dear son-in-law, why hasn't Margaret gotten pregnant yet? Do you need to go to the hospital for a checkup to see if there's a genetic conflict or some other reason?"

"You know, I actually don't like my current life. It would be best if I could retire. I need a lovely grandson to heal my miserable childhood..."

Prince George was quite sensible. He didn't want to be hurt by the other party because he had experienced this feeling before.

Back in the foggy city, he was led around by Lei Zhen like a dog, and eventually, under the other party's conspiracy, he got on this pirate ship.

From then on, he would never see land again and completely lost the chance to compete for the crown prince.

Fortunately, this ship is full of wealth, which is a little consolation.

"It's not appropriate, is it? Margaery is a royal princess, and I'm just a nobody."

"You are a descendant of the Eastern royal family. I have carefully researched Eastern history. Your Lei surname did have an emperor in history. About 2,000 years ago, you established the powerful Rexxar Dynasty in the basin..."

The Lei royal family?

Lei Zhen was stunned when he heard Prince George talking seriously.

He never knew that any of the ancestors of the Lei family had been emperors. Even when the blood clan queen Stephanie revealed her identity before, she only dared to boast that she was a noble.

How come they became royal family when it came to George's father-in-law's mouth?

"Excuse me, there was no powerful Lexa Dynasty in the East 2,000 years ago. Even if there was, it couldn't be called the Lexa Dynasty. Why don't you say Lexus?" Lei Zhen said speechlessly.

"When you're out in the world, you give yourself an identity. Who knows if there was a Rexxar dynasty 2,000 years ago? So much of the West's history was given by itself, and isn't it accepted by the world?"

Prince George was quite frank and what he said made a lot of sense.

When you're out and about, you need an identity, right? If you don't have one, then give yourself one. Who would bother to dwell on things that happened over 2,000 years ago?

"My dear father-in-law, this is different..."

"That's fine. I won't pursue it, Margaret won't pursue it, Prince Henry won't pursue it, and the royal family won't pursue it. The Rexxar Dynasty will still exist. The worst that can happen is that we can just find someone to make up a history."

“This, this…”

Lei Zhen was speechless. He was very rigorous in his attitude towards history. Although he had beautified his identity a lot in public, he had never thought of turning himself into a member of the royal family.

"It's settled. You are the 27th heir to the Rexxar Dynasty, and you possess noble royal blood." Prince George continued, "The reason you've achieved such tremendous success in such a short period of time is due to the power of the dynasty behind you. For 2,000 years, it has continued to exist in the world in a mysterious manner..."

He has thought of everything for his daughter's marriage.

If the identity is not enough, just make one up. It can also explain why Lei Zhen was able to become so big from obscurity in just a few years. It is because of the ancient royal family with thousands of years of inheritance behind him.

"Can you change the name? Rexxar is too Western. Even Da Qi, Da Chu, Da Zhou, etc. will do..."

"Of course, how about calling it Da Chu? My good son-in-law, from now on you are the heir to the Da Chu Kingdom 2,000 years ago."

"In the East, they don't call him heir, they call him prince."

"OK, you are the prince of the Great Chu State. I will have someone invent the Great Chu State right away."

"No, I'd better let someone else make it up. I'm afraid you'll come up with a Chuchtonian phalanx..."

They just sent someone away together and chatted for a few minutes, but he ended up becoming the crown prince of the Great Chu Kingdom, which made Lei Zhen feel very sad.

Forget it, long live understanding.
