At the mention of the elves, the elves arrived. Kang De was a little surprised, then frowned.

In the current public opinion and environment, the outside world was already discussing it spiritedly. As the Elven Duke and the special envoy of Twilight, if Tagris visited under the rising public opinion, it would definitely make people’s imaginations run wild.

One had to know that Kang De taking the initiative to invite him was completely different from the other party coming to his door.

Leona had traveled the business world and been through hundreds of battles. She still had this political sensitivity. She saw what Kang De was thinking and was half worried and half comforted. “The good news is that although he came, he was not discovered by anyone. The bad news is that even our people did not discover how he got in.”

It was said that this Duke Tiling had directly appeared in the banquet hall that had treated him to a meal last night under strict defense. Then, he pulled open the door and politely conveyed the request to the shocked maid who passed by.

Kang De’s heart skipped a beat. “Is this a demonstration of power?”

If he could quietly appear in the banquet hall without alerting anyone, he might also be able to quietly appear in Kang De’s bedroom at night.

When the gorilla heard this, she jumped up.

As the best fighter beside Kang De, she took on the burden of being a bodyguard. In fact, a large portion of the defense work of the Vidal Chamber of Commerce was borne by the mercenary group under her. Now, she was actually quietly approached by an elf gigolo—no!

Therefore, she said firmly, “Kang De, it’s too dangerous outside! I have to hug you when I sleep in the future!”

Leona was stunned and angry. “Now is the time to talk about this?”

Kang De pondered for a moment before saying, “I heard that he’s a top-notch expert in the Twilight Dynasty… It’s not surprising that a Mage can sneak into the Vidal Chamber of Commerce without anyone knowing. After all, the gorilla is guarding me, but this at least reminds us…”

For example, there were ultimately top experts in this world who could pose a threat to his personal safety.

The gorilla could not stand it and said angrily, “I’ll beat him up and teach him a lesson!”

Kang De reached out to press down the gorilla and shook his head, “He shouldn’t be here to show off… Since he can propose such a generous and sincere condition, he won’t show his might at this moment and stimulate my rebellious mentality. If he’s reminding me, who should I be wary of? The Empire?”

He thought for a moment, then said, “I’ll go see him.”

The gorilla said, “I’ll go with you!”

“Okay.”

Leona originally wanted to follow, but she was more careful and thought more. Now that this change had happened in the battle between Goethe and the elves, the elves had actually put in so much effort. In that case, the awkward one was the Empire. After all, she was from the Empire and a member of the Vidal Chamber of Commerce. Kang De had a secret meeting with the elf envoy. It was better for her to hear less about this and save herself the trouble in the future.

As soon as she stopped, Kang De and the gorilla had already walked downstairs. Leona turned around and saw that Hong San was still in a daze. She shouted, “Hey! What are you waiting for? Follow him!”

After experiencing the battle of Valentine together, the Vidal Chamber of Commerce had even given Hong San’s Heaven and Earth Association great support. Leona and Hong San were not strangers, and it could even be said that they had some relationship.

Coupled with Leona’s background as a businessman and her habit of building connections, she knew Hong San’s weight in Kang De’s heart. Coupled with her thoughts about Kang De every day, it was clearly a profitable business to pull Hong San to help.

Today, when he saw Hong San in a daze and in a daze, he could not help but remind him.

Hong San was shocked when he heard this. Only then did he return to his senses. His face was a little pale and there was even sweat on his forehead. It was unknown what he was thinking.

Leona frowned and said, “What’s wrong? You don’t look right. Are you feeling unwell?”

Hong San subconsciously said, “No… no…”

No matter what, the silver-haired girl was an extremely talented business genius. Her sharp eyes had long been trained in negotiations. She could tell at a glance that Hong San was insincere.

She looked at the other party deeply, “Now that things have changed, I don’t know what follow-up plan the elves have, but I know that they must have ill intentions. If the elves can swallow their anger, they won’t be called elves… In other words, the situation Kang De is facing is still not too optimistic…”

At this point, Leona sighed, “I’m from the Empire and only know how to do business. I don’t understand politics and strategy. That gorilla woman only knows how to fight. It’s useless to use her brain. You’re the only one around Kang De who can make decisions and discuss things… Don’t let anything happen.”

At first, Hong San focused and listened, but then his expression slowly became serious. In the end, he looked at Leona and bowed deeply. He said in a low voice, “Please don’t worry, my life has long belonged to His Highness Kang De.”

After saying that, he stood up and did not explain.

He chased after Kang De.

Leona looked at his figure and slowly exhaled.

In the previous war, she was trapped in this city. At that time, Nick’s friends and foes were uncertain, and the elves were eyeing him covetously. Even outside the city seemed to be enemies.

She was at a loss, so Kang De protected her. No, at that time, everyone protected each other.

At that time, every time they discussed a problem, it was her, Kang De, and Hong San. She wanted to protect the members of the Vidal Chamber of Commerce, Hong San wanted to protect the people of the Heaven and Earth Association, and Kang De wanted to protect everyone.

Now, after the destruction of the powerful enemy, Kang De’s battle became known to the world. Now, he was already a figure who shocked Twilight and was famous on the continent. He was paid attention to by the monarchs of various countries and feared by the Twilight Dynasty. He had become a big shot who could affect the situation of the world. Hong San had also been reborn. From then on, he was no longer humble and timid. Instead, he displayed the brilliance and sharpness that had been sealed for a long time and offered his loyalty and service to Kang De.

At that time, Leona had already become a fringe member of the Valentine trio.

This identity of a great businessman and the daughter of a noble family in the south of the Empire was no longer anything. She was still from the Empire, so her identity was naturally awkward, let alone able to help much.

The gorilla that darted out behind gave her a huge pressure.

Leona knew that if this continued, the friendship between Valentine and her would slowly become a memory… Kang De would definitely be further and further away from her.

“It’s not my style to retreat without a fight… There are some things that you won’t know unless you try!”

She clenched her fists and walked in the opposite direction.

Tina was the Princess of Goethe, and the gorilla was the most ferocious person in the world. The former had status, and the latter was powerful.

With the title of the eldest daughter of the Vidal Chamber of Commerce, it was really too far away from standing on the same side as them and Kang De.

Unless…

“Unless I’m very rich…”

According to this “very rich” standard, the Vidal family, one of the rich in the south of the Empire, could only be considered poor. This “very rich” should hold one or more economic lifelines of the continent. It could interfere with the appointment and dismissal of the country and even promote war for benefits, causing the king to be afraid but helpless… He had to do this concept.

It was also the thing called “capital” that Kang De had mentioned when he chatted with him earlier.

Although Kang De had only mentioned it in a joking tone at that time, Leona had a deep impression.

This was because when Kang De mentioned this term and thing, his eyes revealed a sigh as if it was an extremely terrifying and unprecedented monster, so powerful that nothing in the world could do anything to it.

At the mention of the powerful Twilight Dynasty on the continent, Kang De’s performance was extremely calm.

The difference was obvious.

Since such a thing existed, there was a possibility of doing it.

“Or I have the right…”

The Vidal Chamber of Commerce was one of the important large clans in the south of the Empire, but it ended here. Even if Leona became the patriarch, she could not be considered very powerful. In front of the country, those were simply insignificant.

However, she thought of the green-skinned people in the north. There were eight large clans, countless small tribes, a huge number, a tough life force, and a fearless-bravery… If not for the fact that they were born obsessed with internal strife and found it difficult to unite, the orcs would have long been able to make their voices heard on the continent and not struggle to survive in the barren wasteland.

Now, a group of green-skinned people piously and firmly treated Kang De as the son of the prophecy and wildly obeyed all his orders. This made Leona see a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“If I help Kang De subdue the orcs in the wilderness and unite the various tribes and clans, I’ll be qualified to be his fellow traveler. If I can build a sense of identity and voice among the orcs on this foundation, I’ll be in control…”

Either have money or power.

Or…

Leona slowly clenched her hands.

“…I want them all.”

She threw Kang De’s meeting with Tagris to the back of her mind and stopped thinking about it. She came to her office and called the old butler over, “There are two things you can arrange. Firstly, ask around and see if the orcs of the Green City Chamber of Commerce have come to Valentine. If they have, invite them over. If not, invite them. Secondly…”

She hesitated for a moment and gritted her teeth. “Write a letter and invite my father over!”

On the other hand, Hong San left Leona’s vision and stopped at the staircase. He reached out to support himself against the wall and took a deep breath. The remaining fear and shock in his eyes had yet to dissipate.

Previously, when he spoke to Kang De, he mentioned the danger and suffering of Cathay and the fact that the countries of the continent would use Cathay to force him to return.

Kang De’s reaction confirmed his guess.

He was not angry, happy, cold, or enthusiastic. It was just a simple “oh”.

He did not take it to heart at all.

This could only mean one thing.

His Highness Kang De did not know the situation of Cathay at all. He did not know the tragic situation of the Cathay Empire falling or the ferocity of the barbarians. He did not feel anything at all, as if he had never been to that land.

He did not seem to have any feelings for that place.

Be it kindness or malice, there was no such thing.

It was as if it was not related to that land… Only then would it be like this.

In other words…

Hong San slowly lowered his eyes.

—Master, your ridiculous conjecture of talking wildly after drinking… actually exists.

With a bang, Hong San’s head was pressed against the wall, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

“I’m really asking for trouble… Although I have to restrain my curiosity, I can’t help but let my imagination run wild… Master is right. It’s indeed a huge blessing.”

“So…”

“How did you memorize that mental cultivation technique?”

He searched his mind for the dusty memories of his early years. Some of the things his master had given him were not seriously learned, and some were seriously learned, but if he did not learn them seriously, he still memorized them.

Even those things that he felt would be useless in his life…

“I thought I would never use the method to train death warriors in my life. I didn’t expect that the first time I used it, I would practice it myself…”

Hong San recalled the mental cultivation technique, the Essence Soul Annihilation Heart Technique. At the critical moment, he committed suicide. It was fast and painless. He resisted the soul search to prevent the worst from happening.

He recalled the entire mental cultivation method and silently recited it to deepen his memory. Then, he smiled bitterly silently.

Was he smart or stupid?

Some things were not safe since he had thought of it, guessed it, and confirmed it.

He had to add another layer of insurance.

Such a secret naturally had to be strictly guarded and not give anyone the possibility of discovering it.

He mocked himself for abandoning his talent and wisdom, then walked towards the banquet hall.

The gorilla was still comforting Kang De not to be too worried and afraid, but she still had this little bit of calculation and cunningness, “Why don’t we go back to our hometown? We don’t have to worry about anyone bullying us there…”

Kang De smiled helplessly.

If he had stayed on the Holy Seal Islands, he would not have his current worries. The matter became bigger and bigger, his status became higher and higher, and he was remembered by more people. Calculations and trouble were endless.

However, if he had stayed on the Holy Seal Islands back then, he could only watch the wind and rain every day. It was the same for decades, and then he would go crazy or die after a long time of longing. He had followed the Goethe people back to the continent and experienced sorrow and farewell, but he had also accidentally opened the path home.

However, because of this, he owed a favor that he could not repay. In order to fulfill his promise to the knight, he came to Goethe and was involved in this battle. He could not escape. As for today,

Who could say for sure about all kinds of losses and gains?

Before he could speak, the gorilla was shocked to see his expression. She immediately leaned over and hugged him, patting him gently and coaxing, “Don’t cry, don’t cry!”

“…” Although Kang De was not a chauvinist, it was still a little strange to be hugged and coaxed to cry by such a beautiful girl. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. “When did I cry?”

The gorilla curled her lips and said, “Every time you show this expression at home, you want to cry. I’m used to it.”

Kang De felt a little embarrassed. When the gorilla was in the gorilla state, it did not matter how long he lay in her arms and cried. However, now that the gorilla had become such a beautiful girl, he was very embarrassed to mention the past.

He hurriedly retorted, “I’m not crying anymore!”

The gorilla clapped its hands. “That’s really impressive!”

“…”

If not for the fact that he knew the gorilla’s personality, Kang De would definitely have felt that it was deliberately mocking him.

However, the gorilla was a gorilla after all. After praising it, it revealed a regretful expression and encouraged, “Actually, it’s fine to cry occasionally like before. My body is much softer than before!”

After saying that, he patted his chest and said calmly.

This reminded Kang De of the name of the male lead of a best-selling children’s novel on Earth.

Harry Potter.

His eyes were very honest and he could not help but glance at the gorilla’s chest. It was really huge.

The gorilla naturally noticed where he was looking. If other men were staring at her so wildly, she would have long kicked them into two. However, when Kang De looked at her like this, she only revealed a proud and simple smile and did not care at all or even whispered, “Do you want to try?”

At this moment, the door of the banquet hall on the other side of the corridor opened. Tagris’s head poked out from behind the door and looked over. He smiled and said, “It’s very rude to eavesdrop. Please don’t make me unable to help myself.”

His smile was a little meaningful.

There was even indescribable displeasure.

The gorilla was furious and looked like she had been interrupted. She was already very unhappy with Tagris. Her animal nature made her feel a faint sense of danger. Now, new and old hatred surged together and she said angrily, “Pipsqueak! Let’s fight!”

“Pipsqueak?” Tagris’ gaze swept across the gorilla’s thigh and chest and focused on her waist a few times. Then, he revealed a disdainful expression and even sneered.

Apart from that, he did not say anything.

Although the gorilla did not know why he was like this, her animal instincts were unreasonable. She only felt even more unhappy and even a bad feeling.

Therefore, she was even angrier. “Come, come, come! I promise not to kill you with a punch!”

Kang De reached out and pulled the gorilla back. He patted her shoulder. “Don’t be anxious. There will be times when we fight in the future, but not now… Calm down and don’t lower yourself to his level.”

The gorilla barely suppressed her anger.

Kang De took her hand and walked towards Tagris.

Duke Tiling looked at the hands the two of them held. Without waiting for Kang De to greet him, he said, “Your Highness Kang De, you even proposed to the Phoenix King in front of me earlier. Now, you’re so intimate with another woman in front of me. Is it not good?”

Kang De smiled. “Duke, since you know that Tina and I are already engaged, is it not good to say something about helping me facilitate the marriage with the Cathayan Empress?”

The Duke was speechless for a moment. He could not say that the Cathayan Empress was not qualified to care about this, so he snorted and returned to his seat, waiting for Kang De and the gorilla to walk in.

The round table from last night was not removed. Kang De sat down and glanced at the bottle of Sprite on the table. The wrapper had been torn off, and the trademark on the cap had been worn off. His iron son was really efficient.

He asked directly, “In this situation, it’s not good for the Duke to rashly visit, right?”

Tagris only smiled.

“Previously, we were talking about business as the Elven Duke. Now, it’s a private matter. With your status, His Highness once said that if I want to get drunk again, I’m welcome at any time, so I came.”

He looked at Kang De and said softly, “There are no elves disturbing me today. I want to be rude again and get drunk with you, Kang De. Then, I’ll say something drunk—is it convenient?”

Kang De looked at him and slowly nodded. “Convenient, very convenient.”
