Jiang Yi glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Dora's car closely following behind.
A cold smile flashed across Jiang Yi's face.
The Mei Kingdom's royal family was cunning and treacherous, utterly lacking in integrity. The second prince had sent Dora to find him, ostensibly for cooperation, but in reality, he merely wanted to use him.
Once the second prince achieved his objectives, to cover up his sordid methods and secure his throne, his first action would undoubtedly be to eliminate him.
Jiang Yi intended to play along with them. They were insidious and cunning, but he was no fool. Sudan Novel Network.
Previously, Jiang Yi had been fretting about how to exact revenge on the Mei Kingdom's royal family, but now, an opportunity had presented itself. Jiang Yi naturally would not let it slip by.
An hour later, the car arrived at the priest's manor. Jiang Yi alighted from the vehicle.
Dora and the Mei Kingdom's Royal Guard also disembarked.
"Mr. Jiang, I visited this manor years ago. It is one of Prince Matthew's favorite estates. The fact that Prince Matthew gifted it to you signifies his utmost trust. You have gained Prince Matthew's favor. Congratulations!" Dora said to Jiang Yi.
"It's merely a manor, not worth mentioning!" Jiang Yi replied with a slight smile.
"Mr. Jiang, while the manor may be ordinary, the longevity tree within it is not. It possesses immense medicinal value, almost priceless. Anyone who obtains this longevity tree can stand at the pinnacle of the medical world!" Dora said with a playful smile.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh. It seemed Dora had made thorough preparations before coming to the Ying Kingdom to find him, otherwise, he wouldn't have known about the longevity tree.
"Teacher..." Natasha emerged from the manor's main gate.
"Hmm!" Jiang Yi responded.
"Teacher, the large tree in the manor is so miraculous, it's like a magic tree." Natasha was about to express further astonishment, but upon seeing Dora and the Mei Kingdom's Royal Guard beside him, she withheld her comments about the longevity tree. Instead, she curiously asked Jiang Yi, "Who are they? Are they your guests? They look shifty and untrustworthy!"
Dora and the Mei Kingdom's Royal Guard bristled with anger. They had traveled to many countries, but this was the first time they had been so insulted.
"Mr. Dora, please don't be angry!" Jiang Yi said to Dora. "She is my student, Natasha. She's straightforward and speaks her mind. I hope you won't take it to heart!"
Although displeased, Dora could only swallow his anger.
"Mr. Dora, please!" Jiang Yi gestured to Dora and walked straight towards the main gate.
Dora followed.
Jiang Yi led Dora directly to the balcony of the manor's castle, from which the entire estate was visible.
The manor was currently undergoing reconstruction and was expected to be completed in at least another month. This was considered the fastest timeline, given the extensive work involved. The manor had been abandoned for many years, requiring significant repairs in many areas, especially the buildings, which needed to be demolished and rebuilt.
"Mr. Dora, please have a seat!" Jiang Yi said to Dora.
"Thank you!" Dora replied and sat down on a chair on the balcony.
"Mr. Dora, let's get down to business. Have you discussed matters with the second prince? Is he willing to talk to me via video call?" Jiang Yi asked Dora. "If the second prince is unwilling, then forget it. I don't mind. I have many other things to attend to, and seeking revenge on the Mei Kingdom's royal family isn't urgent."
"Mr. Jiang, I just contacted the second prince. He said he is willing to have a video conference with you!" Dora said quickly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi asked Natasha to bring a laptop. With a few deft movements from Natasha, the Mei Kingdom's second prince appeared on the screen. He was wearing pajamas and sitting in a chair by the pool of a luxurious villa, with a blonde woman in a bikini in his arms. The woman was sensually alluring, exuding a captivating charm even through the screen. Besides her, there were over a dozen other women in revealing bikinis in the swimming pool behind the second prince.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but scoff. He hadn't expected the second prince to be so fond of luxury. If he became the next king of the Mei Kingdom, it would be interesting to see how he would ruin the country. Jiang Yi was confident that he had judged the man correctly.
"You are Jiang Yi, the owner of the Tiansheng Group, aren't you?" the second prince asked Jiang Yi.
"Yes!" Jiang Yi nodded and then said, "Second Prince, I am just a nobody. I wonder how I can be of assistance?" Jiang Yi wanted to get straight to the point, avoiding any pleasantries.
"It's always a pleasure to speak with intelligent people. No need for beating around the bush!"
"I require you to provide me with medication to treat the mysterious illness. To be frank, the strange disease that has instilled fear in countless people originated from our Mei Kingdom. We were researching a weapon, and unexpectedly, a problem arose, causing this peculiar disease to spread from the Mei Kingdom outwards, reaching every corner of the globe!"
"Currently, top medical teams from dozens of countries are developing treatments for this strange illness, but none have succeeded. Then I received news that you have successfully developed a cure for this mysterious disease!"
"I must seize the opportunity to obtain a large quantity of medicine to help the public escape suffering, thereby gaining their support and becoming the new king!" the second prince said with a grave expression.
Jiang Yi's lips curled upwards upon hearing this. He, a mere traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, could, to some extent, influence the outcome of the elections in the esteemed Ying Kingdom and Mei Kingdom. It sounded absurd, but it was the undeniable reality. Jiang Yi was the only one who had developed the cure for this strange illness; there was no one else in the world capable of doing so. The sudden appearance of the mysterious disease would, to some extent, determine the fate of many countries.
"Mr. Jiang, if you are willing to help me, I am prepared to hand over the Mei Kingdom's pharmaceutical industry to you. The entire Mei Kingdom pharmaceutical sector will be yours to command!" the second prince offered.
Jiang Yi knew that the second prince's words were untrustworthy. He was merely dangling a carrot, and once his objective was achieved, he would undoubtedly turn on Jiang Yi, and his promises would remain unfulfilled. Dealing with such individuals required constant vigilance, otherwise, one could easily be manipulated! The moment Jiang Yi saw the second prince, he knew this man was not to be trusted.
