"Do you know about the Hidden Clan, Prince William?" Qing Muy野 asked abruptly.
Qiao Yi Nibel William didn't understand his meaning. "What do you want to say?"
"Anthony ventured into the Hidden Clan for its rich mineral resources, and unfortunately met with an accident on his return. I express my deepest sympathy. However, it also illustrates your royal family's covetousness for mineral resources."
He spread his hands, a smile curving his lips. "Compared to the current financial crisis, any commercial investment carries risk. And I can offer you a mutually beneficial opportunity. However, I have a condition."
Qing Muy野, holding a cigarette between his fingers, flicked ash into the ashtray. "I forgot to tell you, our cooperation can not only make you rich beyond measure, but also grant you your deepest desires."
"What do you mean?"
Perhaps Qing Muy野's cryptic words had truly piqued William's curiosity, as he couldn't help but press for more information.
"The throne," Qing Muy野 spread his hands. "The supreme power in Country C, second to none."
The royal family of Country C had many princes. The King favored the eldest prince the most. Despite Qiao Yi Nibel William's excellence, he still failed to gain the King's favor, who even considered him incompetent.
The issue of power was a sensitive topic among the royal family, and Qing Muy野's mention of it truly angered Qiao Yi Nibel William.
"What exactly do you want to say?" He was agitated, his usual elegance completely gone.
"If you don't agree to my condition, I can't continue."
"Are you looking to die?" Qiao Yi Nibel William glanced sideways at the bodyguard beside him, a clear threat in his eyes.
Qing Muy野 was not only unafraid, but he even crossed his legs, his left foot tapping on his right knee, his left arm resting on the back of the sofa, exuding an air of arrogance.
"Without certain leverage, why would I meet with you?" Qing Muy野 tilted his head and glanced at his wristwatch. "I have twenty minutes. If we can't reach an agreement, I'll have to talk to the eldest prince."
*Bang!*
Qiao Yi Nibel William, as if his bottom line had been challenged, struck the floor heavily with his cane. "Qing Muy野, you are seeking death!" he said, the enraged Qiao Yi Nibel William pulling a pistol from behind him and pointing it directly at Qing Muy野. His face was contorted, as if he would kill him at any moment.
"You may not be interested in the mineral resources of the Hidden Clan, but as far as I know, the eldest prince seems quite interested." Qing Muy野 subtly revealed some information.
Their eyes met. One was consumed by rage and filled with murderous intent; the other was elegant, calm, and neither servile nor overbearing.
In Qing Muy野, Qiao Yi Nibel William could not discern any emotion. After a tense moment, he lowered the gun. "What condition?"
"A four-six profit split."
"You take four, I take six?" Although Qiao Yi Nibel William didn't know what business it was, he was extremely sensitive when it came to profit sharing.
It was precisely because of Qiao Yi Nibel William's statement that Qing Muy野's ink-black eyes flashed with cunning, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"No. I take six, you take four!"
He said unhurriedly.
Qiao Yi Nibel William gritted his teeth, the facial muscles on the right side of his face twitching. He displayed his suppressed rage openly. "Damn it, you..."
Almost enraged to the point of violence, Qiao Yi Nibel William grabbed the pistol on the table and pointed it directly at Qing Muy野. "Do you think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
Qing Muy野 didn't even look at Qiao Yi Nibel William. He extinguished the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray and said slowly, "I have a contract with the Hidden Clan, a contract between myself and He Ka Yan Yi. He granted me mining rights, but since Lan Cheng and the Hidden Clan are separated by Country C, I haven't acted yet."
