An Long listened, a guess forming in his mind.
Could it be that, because of that Chen Fan, the Night organization would give away all their old medicinal herbs?
Thinking of this, An Long felt unbalanced.
His thoughts amplified.
He said no more, directly hanging up the phone.
The First Black Robe Envoy was also somewhat puzzled but shook his head, not dwelling on it.
He treated it as a routine inquiry.
An Ye, naturally, did not know that a single mistake of hers had led to the dissipation of years of accumulated effort.
Upon seeing the old herbs in the secret vault, An Long’s legs felt rooted. He immediately conceived the idea of taking them for himself.
He had joined An Ye originally because she had promised to help him improve his cultivation realm.
Now, with the key to improving his realm in his own hands, why should he remain subordinate?
As a man, standing tall and upright, how could he bow before a woman?
With this thought, his rebellious intent grew stronger and stronger!
He decided to go all out, to betray Queen An Ye and become the new king of the Night!
Thus, An Long took six portions of century-old medicinal herbs from the secret vault.
He then summoned the remaining six Black Robe Envoys.
These six were also unaware of why An Long had called them, so they couldn't help but frown, wondering what it was all about.
An Long said nothing further. He directly took out the century-old herbs, placed them on the table, and said in a deep voice, “You must all be very curious about what’s inside this box!”
The six nodded, “Yes!”
An Long narrowed his eyes and smiled, “You can open it to take a look…”
The six hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to open it.
Upon seeing the old herbs in the box, each of them was shocked.
“Vice… Vice leader, this is…”
“That’s right, these are century-old medicinal herbs, very helpful for improving your cultivation realm!” An Long said, enunciating each word.
“Yes…”
All six nodded, feeling a touch of excitement.
An Long continued, “I have quite a few more of these old herbs. If you need any, feel free to ask!”
With the benefits offered, there naturally came conditions.
The six present were all martial artists and seasoned individuals. They could naturally tell that An Long had an ulterior motive!
An Long surveyed them all, a smile on his face, “Since we’ve come this far, there’s no need for me to hide anything!”
“Do you want to remain forever under the command of a woman?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present understood An Long’s intention: he was planning to rebel against An Ye.
*Crack!*
At that moment, the Seventh Black Robe Envoy slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily, “An Long, the Queen has treated us well. What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to rebel?”
To be honest, the word "rebel" was unusually jarring.
The gazes of the others also darkened.
An Long retorted, “If An Ye can treat you well, so can I. What’s wrong? Must you all submit to a woman?”
“Heh heh… An Long, you’re An Ye’s second-in-command, yet you’re truly a scummy person!” the Seventh Black Robe Envoy snarled, cursing An Long, “Disgraceful!”
It was at this moment that An Long was truly enraged, a fury he had never felt before surging within him.
“Seventh, I advise you to be a man who knows the times!”
The Seventh Black Robe Envoy coldly said, “The Queen bestowed upon me great favor. Do you think these paltry tricks can win people over? Let me tell you, I won’t fall for your scheme!”
“Scum!”
An Long, of course, could not allow one person to ruin his plans. He sneered, “Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to say!”
