Jiang Yi had no intention of engaging with Victor initially, but when he heard Victor claim to be the personal physician to the Meiguo royal family, it made Jiang Yi feel that Victor was suspicious.
Given Victor's status, it was impossible for Charles to have invited him.
There had to be someone behind Charles, someone controlling the entire affair.
Jiang Yi planned to get some information from Victor by probing him, hoping to learn something. Charles was after him, so the person behind Charles would definitely want to kill him too.
In Eagle Country, there was only one person willing to go to such lengths to kill him, and that was Jiang Wanli.
However, this was just Jiang Yi's guess for now, and he wasn't certain it was Jiang Wanli.
To find out the mastermind, he needed to start investigating from Victor. But from what Victor had said, it was clear this man was cunning and wily, making it very difficult to extract anything from him.
"Mr. Jiang, please don't be so quick to refuse. Think about it carefully. If you continue to stay by Prince Matthew's side, you will not only lose what you possess but also your life!" Su Dan Novel Network
"With your abilities, you can completely start anew once you arrive in Meiguo, and you will gain even more than you have now!"
"People must learn to make choices. Once they choose correctly, they can ascend to the pinnacle of life and become someone superior. But if they choose wrongly, they will lose everything and regret it for life!"
Victor looked at Jiang Yi.
"That makes sense!"
Jiang Yi nodded, then poured Victor a cup of coffee.
Victor accepted it without politeness and began to drink. He then scanned his surroundings and, seeing no one paying attention to them, lowered his voice and said to Jiang Yi, "Brother, can you do me a favor?"
"What favor?"
Jiang Yi asked.
"Help me get out!"
Victor frowned and said, "Although I am from Meiguo, Prince Matthew is a ruthless killer with an unpredictable temper. I fear he will actually execute me!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh inwardly. It seemed Victor was starting to get scared too!
"Why should I help you? If I help you, Prince Matthew will certainly not let me go. I don't want to lose my life for nothing!"
Jiang Yi said.
"If you save me, you can go to Meiguo with me. I will agree to any conditions you have then!"
Victor promised.
"I'll have to think about this. After all, I can't just believe your words. I know very well what kind of people you Meiguo people are; you are known for being untrustworthy, and scheming is your forte!"
Jiang Yi said.
"I can swear that I will never lie to you or deceive you!"
Victor quickly said.
"In that case, tell me, who sent you to treat Prince Matthew?"
Jiang Yi asked.
Victor was taken aback by this question, but he quickly recovered and replied, "No one sent me. Charles gave me some money, so I agreed to treat Prince Matthew. I didn't expect that Prince Matthew's illness was incurable. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come to treat him!"
"You're lying!"
"You are the personal physician to the Meiguo royal family; you are not short of money. Why would you come to treat Prince Matthew for such a small amount?"
"Besides, with your status, how could Charles possibly invite you? Someone else must have sent you!"
Jiang Yi said.
Victor trying to fool him was not going to be easy.
Victor's expression began to become complicated. It was clear that Jiang Yi had guessed correctly; someone else had sent him to treat Prince Matthew.
"If you don't want to say, then forget it. I take back what I just said!"
Jiang Yi said, preparing to leave!
Victor showed a hesitant expression. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and called out to Jiang Yi, "Wait! I can tell you everything you want to know, but you must promise me not to tell anyone about this. Otherwise, not only will I be finished, but you will also die a terrible death! This matter is of great importance and involves many top figures. Any one of them is someone we cannot afford to offend."
"I promise, I won't tell anyone!"
Jiang Yi walked back and looked at Victor, saying, "But I hope you won't lie to me again and will tell me the truth."
"It was the Meiguo royal family who assigned me the task to cure Prince Matthew. Unexpectedly, Charles suddenly found me and also asked me to treat Prince Matthew. So, I went with the flow and came to Eagle Country from Meiguo!"
Victor said with a solemn expression, "This matter involves the Meiguo royal family. You should know now how big this matter is!"
"Impossible. The Meiguo royal family has a very good relationship with the Eagle Country royal family; they practically consider each other as mortal enemies. The Eagle Country royal family has always wanted to get rid of Prince Matthew. How could the Meiguo royal family be so kind as to send you to treat Prince Matthew? It simply doesn't make sense."
Jiang Yi said.
"What do you know?"
Victor sneered, "The Meiguo royal family may seem to have a good relationship with the Eagle Country royal family, but in reality, it's not like that. The Meiguo royal family wants to see internal chaos in Eagle Country the most. Prince Matthew has always wanted to seize the throne from the Eagle Country King. Once Prince Matthew's illness is cured, he will definitely move against the Eagle Country royal family, which will cause widespread turmoil within Eagle Country, weakening its strength. Then, Meiguo can easily suppress the Eagle Country royal family, making them a mere subordinate."
Jiang Yi was stunned by this!
"Not just Eagle Country, but also De Country, Qiu Country, and many other countries. Meiguo will use various means to stir up internal conflicts in these countries, weaken their strength, and ensure Meiguo's status as the big brother!"
"Wherever there is unrest and internal conflict around the world, you will basically find Meiguo's involvement!"
"I've told you all this, but you don't understand. In short, Meiguo is playing a grand game, and everyone is a pawn!"
Victor spilled everything.
Jiang Yi's brows furrowed.
Now, Jiang Yi had finally managed to extract some information from Victor.
Jiang Yi wanted to know two things: first, what role Jiang Wanli played in this matter, and second, what power was behind the Eagle Country royal family.
Jiang Yi asked about both.
Upon hearing this, Victor immediately became wary.
"Why are you asking so many questions? What exactly do you want?"
Victor stared at Jiang Yi with sharp eyes.
"I don't want anything, but my respected teacher was killed by the Eagle Country royal family, and my father was also killed by Jiang Wanli. I just want to know what power is behind them and why they killed my father and my master!"
Jiang Yi said, revealing the information about his father and master.
