"Zheng Ya, don't drag us down with you if you play with fire!" Prince Ning warned angrily. Zheng Ya sat down on the sofa, completely unconcerned, and said lazily, "Do you think it's better to set up the next teleportation portal here or on the Four Continents?"
"Are you serious?" Prince Ning was furious but calm, his eyes like knives, staring straight at Zheng Ya in the video, as if he wanted to pierce him through the heart.
Zheng Ya smiled calmly: "Twenty billion points, picked up for free, why don't you give them to me..."
"Since you've made your decision, we'll add another two billion to your order. I hope you don't play with fire." Prince Ning made a meaningful bet!
Zheng Ya laughed: "Okay, only a fool wouldn't make money when there's money to be made."
So, shall we set up the next teleportation portal on the Four Continents?
"Whatever makes you happy." Prince Ning couldn't see through him anymore and was too lazy to argue with him. Zheng Ya saw that he had no objections and chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up the video call.
Xu Qi and Fu Qingyao arrived upon hearing the news: "You brat, have you grown bold overnight?"
"You don't need to look at me like that."
In my opinion, one should make a decisive decision when necessary and not let things get out of control.
"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. The advantage is in my hands, isn't it?" Zheng Ya stood up and spoke, revealing his sharp edge, which surprised Fu Qingyao. He was full of vigor and confidence, as if he were the only one who could do it.
Xu Qi looked on with admiration: "Since you've decided to go all out, why not set up the teleportation portal here?"
"What do you think?" Zheng Ya sent a cryptic message to Wu Wei, announcing that he had accepted the order.
The Prince of Ning's faction held an emergency meeting, and after announcing Zheng Ya's decision, added: "I believe that Zheng Ya is about to draw his sword."
What do you think?
“Prince Ning, Zheng Ya’s hasty decision is unlike his usual cautious style!”
Moreover, the planned marriage hasn't even taken place yet, and he's already pulled this stunt. It makes people feel like he's playing with fire and getting burned, or just throwing caution to the wind. Even the strategists don't think highly of Zheng Ya's decision!
A towering building starts from the ground up. If you don't even have a firm foundation, how can you expect to fly? Aren't you afraid of crashing to your death?
The others nodded in agreement, their silence revealing their disapproval of Zheng Ya's actions—or rather, their futile efforts.
Prince Ning shook his head in denial: "I think he's implying that I should take sides!"
“Prince Ning, do you mean that Zheng Ya dared to do this because he had the confidence, and it was risky, but it could test our attitude towards him, so…” The strategist thought of a possibility but didn’t say it aloud.
Prince Ning nodded slightly: "I have three ideas."
First, according to the official practice of the Tower of Babel, the teleportation portals set up by newly promoted Starry Sky Inspectors should be located around the branch base.
Because the branch base was established by a powerful official who imprinted the Yin-Yang and Five Elements spiritual treasures to ensure its foundation, if Wu Wei hadn't messed things up, the first teleportation portal should have been located on the Four Continents. Therefore, Zheng Ya's foundation was also on the Four Continents.
Zheng Ya's actions were therefore aimed at protecting his foundation.
After all, if something goes wrong with his foundation, he's finished.
Secondly, Zheng Ya may be in dire need of points to purchase urgently required items.
This urgently needed item could very well be the foundation of his rise to power, which is why he is so emboldened to force us to take sides in this way.
After all, we all know that a verbal agreement is just empty talk.
This world still values strength above all else.
Besides, the purpose of the marriage alliance is actually to limit the burden on the Starry Sky Inspectors. True strongmen focus on cultivation and can do without women.
Arranged marriages are nothing more than a means for aristocratic families to curry favor with the Starry Sky Inspector for their own and their offspring's future.
If Zheng Ya could see through all of this, he wouldn't care who he cooperated with.
Even if the opposing family is evil, as long as they are not evil to him personally, what does it matter if he supports his rise to power?
Once he encounters favorable circumstances, he will rise to prominence and be able to uphold justice even at the cost of family ties, and eliminate evil and wickedness.
Third, restraint.
I have a feeling that there's something wrong with the sixth-tier peak ability user that Zheng Ya created.
After all, we all know that aiding the enemy is a major taboo.
Zheng Ya was not only not stupid, but also very cautious. How could he possibly aid the enemy?
The above three points are my speculations. I previously agreed to Zheng Ya's request: "If you are unwilling to take your families, I will act alone..."
"Wait, Prince Ning, doesn't this go against the original intention of the alliance?" The strategist felt useless, as if his time was numbered.
Everyone else panicked, caught off guard by Zheng Ya's attack.
The Eagle King lineage is currently dividing into sixth-tier peak ability user slaves, and the scions of noble families are all excited.
If it weren't for the official ten-year protection period for the Tower of Babel, they would have wanted to chop Zheng Ya up and replace him.
Among them, Eagle King was the most excited. He had just received a reply from Wu Wei that Zheng Ya had accepted his 2 billion yuan order, and he couldn't help but be excited.
However, a problem arises: where do the low-level superhumans for the two billion orders come from?
That's over ten thousand people!
If people are transferred from the Qian Yuan Continent, it will not only cost points to purchase teleportation tokens, which is not a small amount, but it is also easy to be exposed.
If his ambition is exposed, he will be isolated and will surely die.
It seems we can only choose people from Zheng Ya's three planets. Eagle King's excited gaze sharpened as he devised a plan.
Wu Wei forwarded Zheng Ya's message that the next teleportation portal would be set in the Four Continents. Eagle King almost jumped up and shouted, "Great!"
This is like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly!
With the next teleportation portal set up here, the Eagle King should worry about prematurely revealing his ambitions, which would be difficult to handle.
Wu Wei added a message: "Be careful, Zheng Ya might eat you so badly you won't even have any bones left."
"Do you think you can act recklessly and sow discord just because you've grasped my weakness?" the Eagle King rebuked in his reply, not believing Wu Wei's nonsense at all.
He mistakenly believed that Wu Wei was trying to take advantage of him and demand bribes or hush money.
Wu Wei replied dismissively: "You can't persuade a ghost who's courting death with kind words. You'd better think twice!"
"Haha, interesting. I'd like to know what your mindset is when you warn me?" The Eagle King was somewhat surprised. Wu Yatou didn't threaten him but asked for hush money. That's not normal.
After all, with two billion points already spent, Wu Wei had leverage over Wu Wei and felt emboldened.
Wu Wei replied with a single word: "Stable".
Are we looking for stability?
Eagle King seemed to understand something. It seemed that for Wu Wei's awkward identity, steady development was the only option for Wu Wei!
Because once the stable balance is broken, Wu Wei will be out of the picture, and may once again be adrift in the storm, with his life hanging in the balance. Therefore, Wu Wei can only seek stability.
But what does that have to do with Eagle King?
Zheng Ya, having not received payment from Eagle King for some time, sent a message to Wu Wei: "Transfer payment."
"Zheng Ya, could you help me buy a complete set of Five Elements Spiritual Treasures?" Wu Wei avoided the main point. If the Eagle King could embezzle public funds, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to use half of them himself, right?
However, her little scheme could not escape Zheng Ya's notice, and he replied directly: "Wu Wei, I can't control what tricks you play."
I'm talking about trust here, not a place for you to launder money.
If you're thinking of using me as a raft, I advise you to abandon that idea as soon as possible; you absolutely cannot afford the consequences.
"I understand. Give me half an hour, thank you!" Wu Wei suddenly realized that Zheng Ya didn't like her, so how could he possibly be her backer to scheme against the Eagle King?
Zheng Ya sneered: "You have twenty-nine minutes left."
"Thank you!" Wu Wei replied, then confronted Eagle King: "Eagle King, you don't want your villainous family's affairs to be exposed, do you?"
"Wu Wei, you're courting death!" Eagle King roared in fury, regretting that he had been too quick to transfer gold...
