"Prince Matthew, are you no longer willing to cooperate with me?" Jiang Yi asked.
"How about this! Show me some strength. If you are qualified to cooperate with me, I will naturally cooperate with you. But if you don't have the strength, then you'll just work for me!" Prince Matthew said.
"Fine!" Jiang Yi agreed.
Prince Matthew wanted to see his strength? When the opportunity arose, he would let him see it. But now, there was no such opportunity yet, so he could only wait for it to come.
"I have a question for you. Why are you targeting the Eagle Country Royal Family and the Mei Country Royal Family, and why do you so intensely hate Jiang Wanli? Do you have a deep-seated feud with them?" Prince Matthew asked.
"The Mei Country Royal Family, in order to obtain the medicine developed by my master, used Jiang Wanli and the Eagle Country Royal Family to kill my master and my father. Even my mother and sister were almost killed by them. This is a blood feud that I must avenge!" Jiang Yi's eyes revealed a hint of killing intent.
Since no one would help him seek justice, he had to do it himself!
"I see!"
"But have you considered that you cannot possibly avenge yourself? Even if you can find a way to kill Jiang Wanli, the Eagle Country Royal Family and the Mei Country Royal Family are not forces you can provoke!"
"The Mei Country Royal Family's power is too immense. Even if I cooperate with you, we won't have much confidence in dealing with the Mei Country Royal Family. Do you know how many lackeys the Mei Country Royal Family has? Hundreds worldwide. The Mei Country Royal Family's influence spans the globe!" Prince Matthew said with a solemn expression.
"I know how terrifying the Mei Country Royal Family's influence is, but I still won't give up. I will spend my life opposing the Mei Country Royal Family. I will absolutely not retreat!" Jiang Yi stated.
"I like your courage!"
"For this reason alone, I will cooperate with you. But you must help me cure my illness as soon as possible. Once my illness is cured, I will immediately move against the Eagle Country Royal Family and reclaim the throne that rightfully belongs to me. At that point, I will have some capital to contend with Mei Country and Eagle Country!" Prince Matthew's gaze became sharp.
Prince Matthew actually harbored deep hatred for the Mei Country Royal Family. The throne originally belonged to Prince Matthew, but it was due to the Mei Country Royal Family's interference that he lost his chance at becoming king.
"Alright, it's a deal!" Jiang Yi said.
"Mm!" Prince Matthew nodded.
In reality, Prince Matthew only verbally agreed to cooperate with Jiang Yi, never actually intending to. In his eyes, Jiang Yi's strength was simply not enough to qualify him for cooperation. Prince Matthew's sudden change of heart and agreement to cooperate was merely a ploy to use Jiang Yi to do his bidding.
Cooperating with Prince Matthew and working for Prince Matthew were two different things. Cooperation involved mutual discussion of strategies, giving Jiang Yi a voice. Jiang Yi working for Prince Matthew, however, meant he would have no say; he would do whatever Prince Matthew ordered.
"Prince Matthew, my Tiansheng University will officially open tomorrow. I hope Prince Matthew can personally attend to oversee the proceedings!" Jiang Yi said to Prince Matthew.
"Certainly, I will be there personally. As I promised you before, I will not go back on my word!" Prince Matthew nodded.
"Prince Matthew, I shall take my leave now!" Jiang Yi finished speaking and walked directly out of the hall.
Tracy watched Jiang Yi's retreating figure, her brow furrowed slightly. She had known Jiang Yi for quite some time, yet she still couldn't fully understand him. After Jiang Yi's figure disappeared at the hall entrance, Tracy couldn't help but ask Prince Matthew, "Godfather, do you believe what Jiang Yi said just now?"
"Jiang Yi did not lie to me!"
"I sent people to investigate in Huaxia Country, and I also utilized some informants within the Eagle Country Royal Family and Mei Country Royal Family. I discovered that Jiang Yi's master was indeed killed by the Mei Country Royal Family, with the involvement of Jiang Wanli and the Eagle Country Royal Family. Furthermore, his father was also implicated and died. After their deaths, the Mei Country Royal Family used the media to slander them, widely propagating that they were attempting to poison the world and were public enemies!" Prince Matthew explained.
"So, Godfather, you already knew Jiang Yi's background!" Tracy said.
"Jiang Yi is the only one who can cure my illness. My life is in his hands, so naturally, I had to thoroughly investigate his background before I could feel at ease!"
"Jiang Yi's purpose in coming to Eagle Country is definitely to avenge his master and father. There's no mistake about that!" Prince Matthew sneered.
Tracy felt helpless. If Prince Matthew hadn't brought it up, she would never have imagined that Jiang Yi had such deep grievances with the Eagle Country Royal Family and the Mei Country Royal Family, carrying such a profound blood feud.
"What do you think of Jiang Yi's strength?" Prince Matthew asked.
"Jiang Yi's strength is actually not as weak as we perceive it to be! Moreover, his Tiansheng Group possesses immense development potential!"
"Jiang Yi's influence in the Eagle Country business world may not appear strong now, but it has already surpassed Jiang Wanli's. Jiang Yi's 'Yangjiang Plan,' along with the medicines produced by Tiansheng Group, are continuously penetrating every city, and his power is growing at an astonishing rate!"
"Given time, Jiang Yi will certainly become a top overlord in the Eagle Country business world!" Tracy stated truthfully. Tracy had been secretly observing Tiansheng Group and was well aware of its affairs.
Hearing Tracy's words, Prince Matthew showed a playful smile. "It seems Jiang Yi's proposal to cooperate with me is because he does possess some strength, not mere arrogance!" Su Dan Novel Network.
"Jiang Yi does have significant strength now!" Tracy affirmed.
"However, I still feel Jiang Yi is not qualified to cooperate with me. This level of strength still doesn't catch my eye!"
"To cooperate with me, he must become a top figure in the business world!" Prince Matthew felt a sense of disdain.
Tracy remained silent, thinking Prince Matthew underestimated Jiang Yi too much!
Meanwhile, Jiang Yi returned to the castle by evening. In the hall, Jiang Yi spoke with Dongfang Mei about the events of the past few days. Ning Yan was also present. Jiang Yi was essentially speaking to Ning Yan as well, not wanting her to bear the burden alone.
"I can't believe you've found out. You've asked me many times before, and the reason I didn't tell you is that the Mei Country Royal Family and the Eagle Country Royal Family are not forces you can contend with. I didn't want you to risk your life for revenge!"
"But now, you know the truth!" Ning Yan said with a sense of helplessness.
