"Jiang Yi, if you serve me well and assist me in eliminating Prince Matthew, you will soar to great heights in Eagle Country," the King of Eagle Country said with a smile to Jiang Yi. "I have high hopes for you, and I trust you won't disappoint me."
Jiang Yi nodded.
Just then, a bodyguard entered from outside and whispered something into the King of Eagle Country's ear.
"What's happened?" Meisha asked.
"Someone working for me has been found to have betrayed me and colluded with Prince Matthew! He thought I wouldn't know what he was doing, but he was wrong. It's as easy as breathing for me to uncover a traitor!" the King of Eagle Country sneered.
Hearing this, Meisha did not inquire further. Such incidents were common, and she was accustomed to them.
"Go arrest him and execute him immediately!" the King of Eagle Country commanded. "And yes, not a single one of his family, relatives, or friends should be spared. Arrest them all and execute them according to the old rules. Also, confiscate all his assets! This is the fate of anyone who dares to betray me!"
"Yes!" the bodyguard replied and exited the hall.
"Meisha says you are a trustworthy person, so I believe you will never betray me, right?" the King of Eagle Country stared at Jiang Yi and said.
"Of course, I will not betray you, Your Majesty!" Jiang Yi replied.
"That's good!" the King of Eagle Country nodded.
Jiang Yi inwardly sneered. The King of Eagle Country had deliberately ordered the execution of the traitor in front of him to intimidate him. Meisha also liked to use such methods! Their methods, father and daughter, were truly identical.
No matter what methods they employed, they were useless and could not frighten Jiang Yi at all. Jiang Yi never intended to genuinely serve the royal family of Eagle Country. The royal family of Eagle Country were his enemies. His father and master were killed by a joint effort of the royal families of Eagle Country and Mei Country, with the help of Jiang Wanli.
The reason Jiang Yi was still dealing with the royal family of Eagle Country was to use them to eliminate Jiang Wanli. Once Jiang Wanli was dealt with, Jiang Yi would help Prince Matthew against the royal family of Eagle Country and assist Prince Matthew in becoming the new King of Eagle Country.
"You may withdraw," the King of Eagle Country said to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi heard this, rose, and left the hall, heading directly outside the villa. Just as Jiang Yi was about to get into his car to leave, Meisha followed him out.
"My father holds a noble position, and most people are not even qualified to meet him. The fact that my father summoned you just now shows how much he values you. I hope you won't disappoint him!" Meisha said to Jiang Yi.
"Don't worry, I will not disappoint the King!" Jiang Yi replied.
"By the way, there's one more thing. I've discovered that Jiang Wanli has completely colluded with the royal family of Mei Country. Although the royal family of Mei Country are allies with our royal family of Eagle Country, they are also rivals. My father does not want Jiang Wanli to ultimately become a member of the royal family of Mei Country. Therefore, you must eliminate Jiang Wanli as soon as possible; you cannot delay any longer!" Meisha said.
"Don't worry, I have already instructed my subordinates to take action!" Jiang Yi said, then continued, "Miss Meisha, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave. Prince Matthew is keeping a close watch, and if he finds out I have been in contact with you, he will surely become suspicious of me!"
"Then hurry and go!" Meisha nodded.
Jiang Yi got into his car and drove onto the street. Jiang Wanli was sure to die this time. Both Prince Matthew and the royal family of Eagle Country wanted him dead. Although Prince Matthew and the royal family of Eagle Country would not act against Jiang Wanli themselves, they would secretly assist Jiang Yi in eliminating him. Jiang Wanli had found a new backer in the royal family of Mei Country, but this was Eagle Country, and the royal family of Mei Country could not help him much.
After Jiang Yi left, Meisha returned to the villa. The King of Eagle Country had already started his meal. The entire dining table was filled with delicacies, and the King of Eagle Country ate ravenously, with more than a dozen servants attending him. If the King of Eagle Country wanted to eat any dish, a mere glance from him would cause a servant to feed the dish directly into his mouth.
"Father, do you think Jiang Yi is trustworthy?" Meisha couldn't help but ask.
"Whether he is trustworthy or not is irrelevant. If I find out he has any issues, I'll just have him killed," the King of Eagle Country sneered. "Besides, his family is in Simon State of Eagle Country. If he dares to do anything that disappoints me, I will kill his family one by one. I am the King of Eagle Country, and anyone I wish dead in Eagle Country will die."
Meisha wanted to say something, but she swallowed the words. Meisha had stayed in Simon State for a while and knew that the Four States were completely under Jiang Yi's control, with all the great lords of the Four States pledging allegiance to Jiang Yi. Moreover, there were the bodyguards from Jiang Yi's security company. Any one of them could be a formidable opponent, equivalent to a terrifying army. Even more astonishing was that these bodyguards obeyed Jiang Yi's orders unconditionally.
An hour later, Jiang Yi drove up to a villa. At the entrance of the villa were the cars belonging to Tracy and Jinmen. Several bodyguards were handling these two vehicles, preparing to tow them away. This made Jiang Yi feel that something was not quite right.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" As soon as the bodyguards spotted Jiang Yi, they immediately targeted him.
"I'm here to find someone. I'm here on Prince Matthew's orders to investigate a homicide case!" Jiang Yi stated directly.
Upon hearing this, the bodyguards' faces immediately revealed killing intent. They eyed Jiang Yi sinisterly and, without a word, lunged at him. Seeing this, Jiang Yi knew that Tracy and Jinmen must have run into trouble. He did not hold back, swiftly dealt with the bodyguards, and walked directly into the villa.
Once he reached the courtyard, he saw Tracy and Jinmen being attacked by a large group of assassins. Both their faces were ashen, and their expressions were full of pain, clearly indicating they had been poisoned! Although they were both skilled fighters, with the poison affecting them, they couldn't hold out much longer. In a moment, they would surely be killed by these assassins.
A fat nobleman, dressed in magnificent aristocratic attire, sat leisurely on a chair on the steps, staring at Tracy and Jinmen as if they were already dead.
"I don't care who you are; you will all die today!" the fat nobleman said coldly.
"You dare to frame us! We were only here to investigate the deaths of those three nobles, and you're accusing us of assassinating you. You are too despicable!" Tracy said indignantly.
"So what if I frame you? Once you are dead, I will publicly declare that you were sent by Prince Matthew to assassinate me!" the fat nobleman declared, then burst into laughter. Hearing this, Tracy and Jinmen were furious.
