“I don't think we should agree. A Grand Lord is not something anyone can be. Furthermore, doing so will only embolden Jiang Yi and make him more audacious, pushing his demands further!”
“Therefore, we cannot set such a precedent!”
Charles spoke.
“And you? What are your thoughts on this matter?”
Prince Matthew asked Tracy.
“I agree that we shouldn’t agree with Jiang Yi. If we agree, his demands will become increasingly outrageous!”
Tracy also chimed in.
“You simply don't understand the art of employing people!”
“Jiang Yi is a person of great use to me. He can cure the strange illness that has plagued me my entire life, and he is also a talent. Giving him some benefits appropriately will make him willingly work for me!”
“The British Royal Family has definitely noticed Jiang Yi and will undoubtedly try their best to win him over. If I offer him more benefits than the British Royal Family, no matter what methods they use, it will be useless!”
Prince Matthew wore a playful smile.
“Godfather, do you mean you will help him this time?”
Tracy couldn't help but ask.
“Precisely. Not only must we help him, but we must also resolve this matter as quickly as possible, ensuring the British Royal Family doesn't get ahead of us!”
“What’s a mere Grand Lord? It's nothing! As long as Jiang Yi is loyal to me, even if he wants to be a Duke, I will grant it!”
Prince Matthew said.
Upon hearing this, Charles was filled with jealousy, envy, and resentment.
Charles was one of Prince Matthew's most trusted adopted sons, having rendered countless meritorious services.
Yet, to this day, he only held the title of Earl.
Titles were incredibly difficult to earn. Many, despite their numerous accomplishments, only achieved the rank of Earl. To become a Duke was harder than ascending to heaven.
“You both go and attend to your own affairs. I need to rest!”
Prince Matthew said.
“Yes!”
Tracy and Charles replied, then left the hall.
Outside in the courtyard, Charles's gaze fell upon Tracy. He said, “Godfather is trusting Jiang Yi more and more. If this continues, we will have no place to stand in the future!”
“We have been fighting for many years, and it has resulted in mutual destruction. I believe continuing to fight is meaningless. Why don't we join forces and deal with Jiang Yi together?”
Tracy frowned upon hearing this.
“You saw it just now. Godfather values Jiang Yi so highly. If this continues, we will have no place to stand, and perhaps Jiang Yi will even turn against us in the future!”
Charles continued.
Charles dreamed of eliminating Jiang Yi, but he knew very well that he couldn't do it alone. The only way was to join forces with Tracy.
In Charles's opinion, once they teamed up, they would have absolute confidence!
“Are you trying to betray Godfather?”
Tracy’s sharp gaze fixed on Charles.
“This is not betraying Godfather. I merely wish to eliminate Jiang Yi. How can that be considered betrayal?”
Charles retorted.
“Wanting to eliminate Jiang Yi is betraying Godfather!”
“Only Jiang Yi can cure Godfather’s strange illness. If Jiang Yi is eliminated, Godfather won’t be able to live!”
“Besides, you can't eliminate Jiang Yi, and Godfather will not permit you to do so. I advise you to behave yourself, or you will pay the price for your actions!”
Tracy said sternly.
“I always thought you were very smart, but I didn't expect you to be so foolish! China has countless doctors with astonishing medical skills. I believe there are many Chinese doctors who can cure Godfather’s illness. I refuse to believe Jiang Yi is the only one in the world capable of curing Godfather!”
Charles said. “I will find a Chinese doctor who can cure Godfather’s strange illness besides Jiang Yi sooner or later!”
Tracy did not respond to Charles and simply walked away!
Charles stared at Tracy's retreating figure, his face filled with gloom. He muttered, “Damn woman, what are you pretending for in front of me? Sooner or later, I will deal with both you and Jiang Yi!”
Charles and Tracy had always been at odds. Charles had wanted to kill Tracy for a long time!
Meanwhile, Jiang Yi, after leaving the Grand Lord's mansion, drove to Tiansheng Group.
Tiansheng Group was now managed by Oriental Mei, while the child was cared for by the nanny at home.
“Why are you here?”
Oriental Mei looked up from her documents as Jiang Yi entered her office and asked.
“I’m free now, so I came to visit!”
Jiang Yi finished speaking and asked, “How is the group’s business doing?”
“The business is excellent! We are almost overwhelmed with orders. The group’s various medicines are now distributed throughout more than half of the United Kingdom, occupying a very large market share. The pharmaceutical market in the United Kingdom is now almost dominated by our Tiansheng Group!”
“Furthermore, our group’s medicines are exported to more than a dozen countries. After entering these countries, these medicines have become very popular, considered rare and precious panaceas, with countless people scrambling to buy them!”
Oriental Mei said.
Jiang Yi felt a little excited upon hearing this, having not expected Tiansheng Group to develop so rapidly.
“How does Tiansheng Group compare to Jiang Wanli’s strength now?”
Jiang Yi asked.
“They are about the same!”
Oriental Mei replied. “However, you still need to wait a while longer to eliminate Jiang Wanli. Jiang Wanli is deeply entrenched in the United Kingdom and has always been supported by the British Royal Family, making him difficult to deal with!”
“If I find a way to stop the British Royal Family from supporting Jiang Wanli, what is our chance of eliminating him?”
Jiang Yi asked.
“We have a sixty percent chance. With Prince Matthew’s help, we would have an eighty percent chance!”
Oriental Mei said.
“However, I don’t think we should let Prince Matthew help. Once Prince Matthew intervenes, you will be tied to him. Prince Matthew has always wanted to seize the throne. If you take a side now and Prince Matthew fails, you will be implicated, and all your efforts will be in vain! In short, as I said, you cannot arbitrarily take sides!”
“Okay!”
Jiang Yi nodded.
Jiang Yi understood this logic quite well. He was merely a businessman, and moreover, a Chinese national. If he became entangled in the conflict between Prince Matthew and the British Royal Family, there would be endless trouble.
However, what troubled Jiang Yi was that he seemed to have already become completely involved in this struggle. This was because Jiang Yi had significant connections with both Prince Matthew and the British Royal Family.
“This is quite troublesome. I feel like I’m already deeply entangled!”
Jiang Yi spoke, sharing all his thoughts. Only Oriental Mei could make Jiang Yi confide his true feelings. It wasn’t that Jiang Yi was intentionally trying to appear profound, but rather that he carried the mission of revenge, and some of his thoughts could not be revealed to anyone.
