Chapter 1040: Is It A Blessing Or A Curse (5)

“You are right. I cannot kill them personally.” Duan Hen’s answer was very straightforward.

Shen Yanxiao smiled and said, “Are they from the Elders Council?”

Duan Hen nodded.

Shen Yanxiao said, “In that case, the deal between us is not far. Luo Fan and Elder Wen want to harm me, but that would depend on whether they have the ability to do so. You told me their plan so that it would be easier for me to prepare. However, what you want me to do is to kill the Elders of the Elders Council. Not to mention that you want me to kill a few of them, not just one, the Elders of the Seventh Kingdom are all experts with mythical beasts. Do you think I will agree to your deal?” The chips on both sides of the table are not equal. Shen Yanxiao would not agree to such a deal unless she was stupid.

“Luo Fan is not the only thing I want to trade with you. I can promise you that as long as you help me accomplish what I want, I can give you all the forces the Seventh Kingdom possesses in the Forsaken Land, including Twilight City,” Duan Hen took a deep breath and said.

“Give me?” Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows. She had heard something unusual from Duan Hen’s promise.

Targeting the Elders Council of the Seventh Kingdom, and also daring to promise to give her all the forces the Seventh Kingdom had in the Forsaken Land—only the king of a country could make such a promise.

Duan Hen had a huge appet.i.te.

“Do you think I will believe that you can do that?” The idea was good, but ideas alone could not accomplish anything. She would not invest in such risky investments. At the very least, she did not intend to take the risk before she could determine the investor’s strength.

“I will prove that I can accomplish it. As long as you give me time, I will let you see that I have enough chips on my side to trade with you.” A confident and firm expression appeared on Duan Hen’s face. “I am not asking you to attack the Elders Council right now. Give me a year’s time, and I will prove that I can accomplish it. After that, it will not be too late for you to complete our deal. As for Luo Fan’s matter, treat it as a gift from me to express my sincerity.”

Shen Yanxiao smiled. She never expected Duan Hen to be so ambitious.

What he wanted was not Twilight City, but the entire Seventh Kingdom!

“A year? I’d like to see if you can do it. If you’re confident of stabilizing your position as the Emperor of the Seventh Kingdom after the accidental death of those people from the Elders Council, I’ll agree to your deal.” Shen Yanxiao’s eyes were burning with excitement. Only an ambitious person could accomplish great things. If Duan Hen was capable, she might as well go with the flow.

“But how did you know that I will want your territory in the Forsaken Land?” Shen Yanxiao looked at Duan Hen. She had not finished developing all the areas near Sun Never Sets. How could Duan Hen have thought of giving her the owners.h.i.+p of his piece of the Forsaken Land in exchange for her help?

Duan Hen looked at Shen Yanxiao and pointed to his eyes.

“You are not someone who is willing to be controlled by others. I know that your Sun Never Sets does not belong to the Longxuan Empire. Right now, you are developing another city. I can see the ambition in your eyes.” Just like him, he was unwilling to accept the current situation and be controlled by other people’s ambitions.

Shen Yanxiao had strength and courage. He needed an ally, an ally that could help him eliminate his most crucial enemy.

“Oh?” Shen Yanxiao chuckled. She slowly stood up and looked at Duan Hen. “Duan Hen, whether our deal succeeds depends on your own strength. If you succeed in your part of the deal in a year’s time, send someone to Sun Never Sets, and I will help you get rid of those eyesores.”
