When the Eagle King's faction began sending messages and people to the family, the Ning King's faction held a meeting.
There were only eight people in attendance, including all the heads of the four major families.
Prince Ning frankly stated, "We negotiated with Zheng Ya and acquired each of the sixth-tier peak ability users at a price of 100,000 points."
The deposit is 200 million points, which means we're going to create 2,060 peak-level superhumans.
The cost was split among the four families, amounting to 500 each, no more and no less.
But here's the question: where do these people come from?
"Well, what Prince Ning means is that it's safest to transfer people from the family, so there's no need to worry about anyone rebelling."
However, since Zheng Ya is testing us in this way, it wouldn't be appropriate for us to transfer people from our family." The strategist's words revealed the secret.
In the early stages, they were testing each other's strengths and weaknesses and their character.
Cooperation is key; let's work together first, then take action.
If you can't get along, you can't achieve anything.
The key is the probing of friend and foe. Those who cannot become partners are mortal enemies, which is of paramount importance for the tripartite relationship.
The most dangerous thing is to form an alliance without first testing the other party's strengths and weaknesses.
The dumbest yet smartest way to get along.
The wisdom lies in having everything under control, or rather, having the ability to control everything. That's why they don't bother with testing the waters, but instead cooperate directly, showing their contempt for your aristocratic families who can't stir up any trouble.
The biggest mistake was going against the powerful families from the very beginning. Everything requires strength to speak for itself, otherwise you can't get by.
Zheng Ya's approach was conventional and proper.
However, Zheng Ya's sudden decision to sell off sixth-tier peak ability users was not normal; it was far too abnormal!
This means Zheng Ya has played his card.
Prince Ning nodded slightly: "Zheng Ya has made his move. We must respond. The Eagle King's faction must also respond. It's the most dangerous situation."
"A love triangle isn't easy to play out!" The strategist chuckled, scratching his big head, making everyone roll their eyes. If they didn't know he was full of mischief, they would have been fooled by his silly appearance.
Prince Ning said bitterly, "Why do I feel like Zheng Ya is taking advantage of us?"
Last time they ripped us off for 1.01 billion.
They swindled 200 million this time, are they up to no good?
“Prince Ning, you have a grudge because he emptied your private pockets, and you have a prejudice against him.”
The more cunning Zheng Ya is, the more advantageous it is for us!
However, this also shows that Zheng Ya is not easy to deal with; he is a double-edged sword. If handled well, he can kill the enemy; if handled poorly, he will hurt us! The strategist solemnly clarified a fact.
Prince Ning smiled wryly, his face contorted with frustration: "You mean Zheng Ya forced us to select people from the three planets under his control to become peak sixth-tier superhumans, to prove our sincerity in our marriage alliance and cooperation with him?"
"Yes, that's a possibility."
After all, our cooperation with him is only verbal. If we don't show some real sincerity, even we ourselves wouldn't believe it, right?" The strategist posed a thought-provoking question.
Prince Ning was undecided: "Let's put this issue aside for now."
If we choose Zheng Ya's people, Zheng Ya can initially trust us, but how will the Eagle King's faction view this?"
"Prince Ning, aren't you being narrow-minded?"
Once Zheng Ya presents us with betrothal gifts, we will reciprocate with two thousand level-six peak ability users. This exchange of gifts will naturally lead to a marriage alliance.
After this opera is finished, it's reasonable to insert another opera, right? The advisor thought there was nothing wrong with doing so.
Prince Ning nodded slightly, then shook his head: "In the end, it was Zheng Ya who deliberately pushed us to the edge of the cliff, making us play the mortal enemy of the Eagle King's faction, the victim, and the villain. We're caught in the middle, while he gets to relax. Why should he?
"Ahem, Prince Ning, we need to think about this. The Eagle King's faction is just secretly happy. They've actually been tricked by us and don't even realize it. Doesn't that make them feel better?" The strategist knew that he was being overly concerned with saving face.
Which prince doesn't have face?
Prince Ning gritted his teeth in anger: "You scoundrel! I, the prince, am being given a dowry as part of the legitimate princess's marriage, and I'm being forced to play the villain..."
"Prince Ning, please calm down, please calm down."
"The legitimate princess is the mistress of the house, on equal footing with Zheng Ya's first wife. In the future, your father-in-law will also rise to prominence, won't he?" The strategist advised kindly, and the others echoed his sentiments.
What kind of magnanimity does Prince Ning possess, his tolerance for all things?
The Prince of Ning will become the most powerful and influential figure under Zheng Ya.
What's the point of enduring a moment's anger? When the time is right, you'll transform into a dragon!
In short, he showered Prince Ning with compliments, which completely appeased him and made him stop being angry.
Zheng Ya was preparing the betrothal gifts and, incidentally, notifying the Eagle King's faction to prepare for sabotage and carry it out in a grand manner.
With a large sum of points earned, Zheng Ya finally completed the construction of the Sihelou Fortress.
Two copies.
A substitute for the Four Harmony Building's extraordinary treasure, stationed at the Black Giant Star defense line.
A device suspended in the space of a black giant star is called a mobile fortress spacecraft, or simply a mobile palace.
The imperial palace was brightly decorated, and preparations for the betrothal gifts were underway.
The Eagle King faction paid close attention and urgently sent a message to the family to send the first batch of low-level ability users to Wu Wei's fortress, urging Wu Wei to contact Zheng Ya to create a sixth-tier peak team as a surprise force for sabotage.
After receiving Wu Wei's notification, Zheng Ya reluctantly made his way to Wu Wei's fortress. Standing in the grand red hall, he felt extremely uncomfortable and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Hoo-sha."
Twenty-five sets of battle puppet five-element components flashed into the bodies of twenty-five of the hundred people. Under the catalysis of the planning ability, twenty-five people became peak sixth-level ability users in just five seconds.
Wu Wei, feeling itchy to see it, said with a frustrated tone, "Zheng Ya, isn't the quantity wrong?"
I've already inquired. A complete set of the five elements components for the battle puppet costs 75,000. Five million points can only be exchanged for twenty-five peak sixth-tier ability users. Isn't that a bit of a rip-off...?
"If you think it's too expensive, don't buy it!" Zheng Ya said, then turned and left without a trace, making Wu Wei stomp her feet in anger.
The Eagle King faction watched the entire process via video: "This, this is real."
I never expected Zheng Ya to possess such a special ability, it's incredible!
"Eagle King, isn't this price a bit too high?" The Wu family member was unhappy, but actually he was envious.
They believed that it would take them one or two hundred years of cultivation to reach the peak of the sixth rank, but seeing others reap the benefits of others' efforts in just five seconds, they lost their composure.
Eagle King sneered, "All you see is money. Can't you see that Zheng Ya is testing our sincerity?"
Besides, compared to Zheng Ya swindling over a billion from the Ning Prince's faction, what are these points?
"A bunch of good-for-nothings, can't they broaden their horizons a little?"
“Eagle King’s words make sense. So, should we still purchase sixth-tier peak superpowers?” The Wu family disciple understood his implied meaning.
The person in charge of the family is also a handful, sending seven hundred low-level ability users all at once, are they doing wholesale?
However, these cannon fodder are really worthless; you can find them everywhere.
They were basically unofficial members of aristocratic families, or good-for-nothings from within the families, who were treated as cannon fodder.
Eagle King's eyes gleamed: "Buy, buy up a large number of sixth-tier peak ability users, only then can we reach the top of Zheng Ya's Starry Sky Domain and force him to rely on us to rise."
"But the Prince of Ning's faction won't sit idly by and watch us grow stronger..." The Wu family members are unwilling to spend this money unnecessarily. How can they bear to throw money at a useless person to rise to power?
Eagle King snapped irritably, "Your acting is terrible! Are you really not afraid of death?!"
"What makes you say that, Eagle King?" The scions of the seven great families were furious. "Even the good-for-nothings have risen to power. What are we geniuses supposed to do?"
