"I hope you can save my mother's life. My mother is very seriously ill. I've consulted many doctors to treat her, but none of them could cure her. After examining my mother, all the doctors said she wouldn't live past three months and advised me to prepare for her funeral!"
"She is my only family. Please save her!"
The captain of the guards pleaded, his face etched with desperation.
Jiang Yi did not agree immediately. Instead, he stared into the captain's eyes, trying to discern if he was telling the truth.
Jiang Yi sensed that the captain wasn't lying.
"If you can save my mother, and help me and my mother leave the Eagle Kingdom safely, I will tell you everything you want to know. I promise I won't go back on my word!"
The captain begged.
"Didn't you just say this is a huge secret, and that anyone who reveals it will die? Aren't you afraid of losing your life after telling me?" Jiang Yi asked.
"As long as my mother's illness can be cured, I can't worry about anything else!"
The captain took a deep breath. "You were able to rescue me from Prince Matthew's grasp. I believe you can definitely find a way to get me and my mother out of the Eagle Kingdom safely!"
"Alright, no problem!" Jiang Yi agreed with a nod.
Seeing Jiang Yi agree, the captain's face was filled with excitement.
"Where is your mother?" Jiang Yi asked.
The captain gave him the address and then continued, "My mother is being watched by many people. It will be difficult for you to get close to her."
"That's easy. I'll have someone pick your mother up. Then you can be reunited," Jiang Yi said.
"Thank you!" Hearing that Jiang Yi was willing to bring his mother to meet him here, the captain's face lit up with excitement, and he quickly thanked Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi didn't say anything further and left the room with Chen Kun.
Outside the courtyard, Jiang Yi paused. Although the captain didn't seem to be lying, Jiang Yi still couldn't fully trust him. After all, fabricating stories was a habit of the Eagle Kingdom's people; they rarely spoke the truth. This could very well be a fabrication by the captain to save himself.
"This task is for you!"
"After you find the captain's mother, don't rush to bring her back. First, confirm there are no issues, and then bring her to the castle!" Su Dan Novel Network.
"Remember, this must be kept secret. Your identity must not be exposed! If Prince Matthew and the royal family find out about this, they will surely guess that the captain is in my castle, which will cause considerable trouble!" Jiang Yi said to Chen Kun.
"Yes!" Chen Kun acknowledged and then left the courtyard.
After Chen Kun left, Jiang Yi, along with Prince Matthew's bodyguards, headed directly for the Grand Lord's Mansion.
As they arrived at the courtyard of the Grand Lord's Mansion, they encountered Tracy.
Seeing Jiang Yi arrive, Tracy walked towards him with a charming smile and said softly, "My godfather has been waiting for you. To thank you, he has specially prepared a banquet for you. Lord Simon and many nobles are here, you are the protagonist today!"
"In front of Prince Matthew, I wouldn't dare to be called a protagonist!" Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
"My godfather wants you to be the protagonist. What are you afraid of?"
"Let's go, we should go inside!" Tracy said, linking her arm with Jiang Yi's, and then they walked directly into the main hall.
Upon entering the hall, Jiang Yi found it crowded with people. They were all dressed elaborately, exuding an air of nobility in every gesture, clearly indicating they were from high society.
"Who are all these people?" Jiang Yi asked. "Are they all nobles from the Eagle Kingdom?"
"Some of them are nobles, and the rest are highly reputable individuals from various industries. I'll introduce you to them one by one. Once you have enough connections, your development in the business world will be much smoother!" Tracy said with a smile.
Jiang Yi scanned the hall and noticed Prince Matthew was nowhere to be seen.
"Sir, you must be that Doctor Jiang from the Hua Xia Kingdom!"
"It is a great honor to meet you!" Several elegantly dressed middle-aged men approached them, each possessing an extraordinary demeanor.
"You are too kind!" Jiang Yi replied modestly.
Among these individuals, the most striking was a middle-aged man with snow-white hair. He looked to be around forty years old, but his hair was already completely white, making him appear like an elderly man in his seventies or eighties. This white-haired man had sharp eyes and exuded the aura of a successful individual. Jiang Yi felt that this person was likely not ordinary.
"This is Mr. Marlant, the richest man in the four prefectures: Dongmeng, Nanmeng, Beimen, and Ximen. His net worth is in the hundreds of billions, making him as wealthy as a nation." Tracy introduced.
"So, it's Mr. Marlant. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Jiang Yi greeted him.
Marlant began to converse with Jiang Yi, mostly about business matters. Marlant was eloquent and possessed sharp business acumen; it was not surprising that he was the richest man in the four prefectures.
Afterward, Tracy continued to introduce others. Everyone was very enthusiastic because they could see that Prince Matthew intended to support Jiang Yi, so they all wanted to get close to him and establish a connection. In the business world, connections are extremely important.
When the banquet concluded, the guests began to depart. Tracy led Jiang Yi directly to the living room on the second floor. Prince Matthew was no longer wearing a mask; his skin had recovered and he looked like a normal person.
"Prince Matthew!" Jiang Yi greeted him.
"Yes!" Prince Matthew nodded. "Jiang Yi, you are a talented person, and I admire you greatly. Your medical skills are astonishing, and your other abilities are also very strong. I intend to support you in developing your influence in the business world, and you will work for me in the future. If you follow me, I guarantee you will soar to great heights and possess immeasurable wealth!"
Tracy also added, "My godfather invited so many people from high society today to get to know you, all with the purpose of helping you."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi frowned slightly. The royal family of the Eagle Kingdom wanted to support him, and Prince Matthew also wanted to support him and help him expand his business influence. However, Jiang Yi knew that their intentions were not genuine; they merely wanted him to be their pawn. Nevertheless, Jiang Yi would not refuse. With their support, expanding the Tiansheng Group would be much simpler, and many matters could be resolved with ease. His influence would inevitably grow. This was a good thing, and Jiang Yi readily accepted.
"Thank you, Prince Matthew!" Jiang Yi expressed his gratitude.
"You're welcome. This is what you deserve!" Prince Matthew said, then continued, "I see you are quite fond of Tracy. How about this, from now on, I'll entrust Tracy to you. She will be your woman from now on!"
