Menasha asked Jiang Yi to take risks merely to save a captain of the guard.
Given Prince Matthew's personality, the reason he didn't kill the captain of the guard was to lure out his accomplices and mastermind. The risk involved in saving the captain was too great.
If Jiang Yi were to act, he would likely fall into Prince Matthew's trap, which would be no different from seeking death.
"I have already gained the trust of Prince Matthew. Is it worth it for you to ask me to risk my life to save a captain of the guard?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.
"It's indeed not worth it!" Menasha said, shrugging her shoulders. She continued, "I can't help it. It's an order from above. I heard this captain of the guard is the lover of a certain noble lady. This noble lady holds a very high position in the royal family, which is why the royal family decided to save the captain of the guard by any means necessary!"
Jiang Yi was speechless upon hearing this.
"I agree this is going a bit too far, but there's nothing we can do. These are orders from above. Our job is to follow orders. Other matters are not our concern!" Menasha said.
"How much time do I have to complete the mission?" Jiang Yi asked.
"When the order was issued, there was no time limit. This means you just need to save the captain of the guard," Menasha replied. "However, I still think it's best to complete this task as soon as possible. Although there's no time limit, the noble lady from the royal family is impatient and doesn't have much patience!" Menasha reminded him.
Jiang Yi shrugged and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment!" Menasha called out to Jiang Yi and said, "The one-eyed bodyguard has become like this, it must be because you used some means on him. Hurry up and restore his memory. I desperately need manpower now."
"It's not possible right now! We'll talk about this after I complete the mission!" Jiang Yi said, then continued to explain to Menasha, "Miss Menasha, while I'm gone, I hope you can ensure the safety of Du Yue and Ike. Du Yue is Jiang Tian's wife. She has been married into the Jiang family for many years. She still has significant value to me, so she cannot be harmed!"
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, Du Yue and Ike will be very safe!" Menasha guaranteed.
Jiang Yi didn't say anything further. He turned and left the courtyard, then walked directly out of Jiang Tian's castle.
Jiang Yi didn't rush to the Grand Lord's mansion. Instead, he drove back to his own castle. Before going to the Grand Lord's mansion, Jiang Yi planned to research the drug to treat Prince Matthew and then take the medicine to Prince Matthew.
Jiang Yi wasn't entirely cooperating with the Hawk Country royal family. After all, neither the Hawk Country royal family nor Prince Matthew were trustworthy. Therefore, Jiang Yi would work for whoever offered him more benefits.
An hour later, Jiang Yi returned to his castle. As he entered the hall, he saw Dongfang Mei reviewing information about the Jiang Corporation in Simon Prefecture. Hearing footsteps, Dongfang Mei looked up. Seeing Jiang Yi had returned, Dongfang Mei smiled slightly and asked, "How was it? Was everything handled?"
"Not yet!" Jiang Yi said, then recounted the events. Dongfang Mei frowned as she listened.
"It seems the Hawk Country royal family is also untrustworthy. Although you are working for them now, they don't take you seriously at all and have never considered your interests!" Dongfang Mei said. "The Hawk Country royal family only sees you as a pawn. It's basically impossible for you to gain a noble title through meritorious service!"
"Yes, you're right, that's why I had Menasha write a letter of guarantee!" Jiang Yi said with a grin.
Just then, a bodyguard ran in from outside the hall and said to Jiang Yi, "Master, there are several cars outside the castle. One of them claims to be Grand Lord Barry and says he has urgent business to see you!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yi walked directly out of the hall. Upon reaching the courtyard outside, he saw several luxury cars driving into the villa. As the car doors opened, Grand Lord Barry and Natasha emerged. A group of men in suits also got out of the cars; these men were all Grand Lord Barry's bodyguards.
"Teacher..." Natasha ran towards Jiang Yi after seeing him and gave him a warm hug.
"Didn't I ask you to stay at the Young Lord's mansion to help? Why are you here?" Jiang Yi asked.
"There's not much to do at the Young Lord's mansion. Yang Gang can handle it, so I don't need to stay there every day. But don't worry, Teacher, I go there every day. I only leave if there's nothing to do!" Natasha quickly replied. The affairs at the Young Lord's mansion were indeed not many, so Natasha wasn't lying.
At this moment, Grand Lord Barry was observing Jiang Yi's castle.
"Your castle is indeed impressive. The only drawback is its location, which makes it very inconvenient for getting things done," Grand Lord Barry commented.
"This place is also quite good!" Jiang Yi replied. "It's not very far to the city center from here. We'll be there in no time." Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
Jiang Yi found it very strange. Grand Lord Barry was a very busy man, yet since arriving at the castle, he had been engaging him in trivial matters.
"Grand Lord Barry, what is the matter that brings you here?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Prince Matthew sent me to find you. He wants to know if you have developed the new drug to treat his skin!" Grand Lord Barry said. "Prince Matthew is very eager and hopes to have his skin cured soon!"
"It's no use even if Prince Matthew is in a hurry. This kind of medicine cannot be developed easily. It requires a lot of time!" Jiang Yi said.
"Can you develop this medicine or not?" Grand Lord Barry asked in a low voice.
"Of course, I can. Developing this medicine is not a difficult task for me at all. I just don't want to develop it too quickly!" Jiang Yi said, then grinned at Prince Matthew, "I plan to make Prince Matthew wait a while longer. I want to find a way to gain more benefits from Prince Matthew. I can't do business at a loss."
Grand Lord Barry felt speechless upon hearing this, thinking how daring Jiang Yi was to scheme about how to extract benefits from Prince Matthew. In Hawk Country, not many people had such boldness.
"Grand Lord Barry, I was originally planning to visit you, but I didn't expect you to come in person. Since that's the case, I don't need to make this trip!" Jiang Yi said with a smile.
"What did you want to see me about?" Grand Lord Barry showed a hint of confusion on his face.
