Chapter 975 The Old Man's Identity

"Of course not!"

Mei Nasha finished speaking and asked Jiang Yi, "How is the task I gave you earlier? We want to know Prince Matthew's plan as soon as possible. The election is coming soon, and there isn't much time!"

"I haven't figured it out yet. I just arrived in the imperial capital and need to investigate slowly!"

"You should know very well that Prince Matthew is a very cautious person, and it's not an easy task to uncover his plan!"

Jiang Yi said.

"Then keep investigating. Once you find out, inform me immediately. This matter concerns the safety of the entire Eagle Kingdom's royal family. The Eagle Kingdom's royal family entrusted such an important matter to you, which shows their sufficient trust. I hope you won't disappoint them, nor me!"

Mei Nasha looked at Jiang Yi.

Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Only half of what Mei Nasha said was believable. He was a Chinese national. The Eagle Kingdom's royal family would definitely be wary of him. How could they trust him and give him such important tasks?

The Eagle Kingdom's royal family was merely using him as a pawn.

"Alright, let's not talk about this matter anymore. Let's discuss another one!"

Mei Nasha's expression turned serious as she stared at Jiang Yi and asked, "I heard that three nobles who supported Prince Matthew recently died under very strange circumstances. Prince Matthew assigned you, Tracy, and Jinmen to investigate this. Have you found any clues?"

Jiang Yi smiled slightly.

Jiang Yi had already guessed that Mei Nasha would definitely inquire about this matter.

"I've found some clues, but these clues alone are not enough to apprehend the culprit."

"If we continue to investigate, we will definitely catch the killer. Both Tracy and Jinmen are very confident!"

Jiang Yi replied.

Half of Jiang Yi's words were true, and half were false. When dealing with people like Mei Nasha, one couldn't tell the whole truth, but one also couldn't lie completely, as it would arouse her suspicion.

Hearing this, Mei Nasha's brows furrowed, but they soon relaxed.

"Miss Mei Nasha, is there a question I can ask?"

Jiang Yi looked at Mei Nasha.

"Ask whatever you want!"

Mei Nasha said.

"There are rumors that these three nobles were killed by the Eagle Kingdom's royal family because they all followed Prince Matthew!"

Jiang Yi stated directly, wanting to see Mei Nasha's reaction.

"Nonsense! How could our Eagle Kingdom's royal family poison royalty and nobles!"

Anger flashed across Mei Nasha's face. She continued to question Jiang Yi, "What else have you heard? Tell me everything. I'd like to hear how they are slandering our Eagle Kingdom's royal family."

"Some people say that the way these three nobles died was very strange, and only the secret arts of the Eagle Kingdom's royal family could achieve it!"

"Some even say that past royalty and nobles who died in strange ways were all killed by the Eagle Kingdom's royal family to eliminate dissent and consolidate their power."

Jiang Yi said.

Upon hearing this, Mei Nasha's expression became complicated. She didn't say a word, as if she were lost in thought.

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Mei Nasha was not aware of this matter.

There were only two explanations. First, Mei Nasha genuinely did not know that the three nobles were killed by the Eagle Kingdom's royal family, and her expression was not feigned.

Second, Mei Nasha knew the truth and was deliberately acting in front of him.

Jiang Yi had said so much earlier precisely to confirm whether Mei Nasha was involved in the deaths of those three nobles.

It seemed his efforts were in vain!

"Regardless of whether this matter is related to the Eagle Kingdom's royal family, you must find a way to stop it. We cannot let the culprit become one of our Eagle Kingdom's people. This is clearly Prince Matthew's ploy. He killed these three nobles and framed our Eagle Kingdom's royal family!"

"If Prince Matthew succeeds in framing us, our Eagle Kingdom's royal family will be caught in a storm of public opinion, which will be very detrimental to us!"

Mei Nasha said, staring at Jiang Yi.

"Yes, I know what to do!"

Jiang Yi nodded.

"I brought you to my villa for another reason. I plan to introduce you to someone!"

Mei Nasha finished speaking and whispered something to a servant beside her.

The servant nodded and walked directly upstairs.

A moment later, a portly old man with an extraordinary demeanor walked down from upstairs, followed by two bodyguards with sharp eyes.

The moment Jiang Yi saw the old man, he felt an imposing aura of nobility.

It was clear that this old man was no ordinary person.

Seeing the old man arrive, Mei Nasha immediately stood up from the sofa, her face full of respect.

Jiang Yi also stood up from the sofa.

"Sit down!"

The old man said.

Hearing this, Mei Nasha finally sat back down in her chair.

"You are Jiang Yi?"

The old man scrutinized Jiang Yi.

"Yes!"

Jiang Yi nodded.

"Do you know who I am?"

The old man asked.

"You are the King of the Eagle Kingdom!"

Jiang Yi said directly.

As soon as he said this, both the old man and Mei Nasha were stunned. Then, the old man burst into laughter. Because the old man was too obese, his laughter caused the flesh on his face and body to tremble.

"Since you know the King's identity, why didn't you pay your respects just now?"

"Do you know that you have committed a capital offense? For this alone, you are enough to be executed!"

One of the bodyguards angrily berated Jiang Yi.

"There's no need for formalities. I just want to have a simple chat with Mr. Jiang as friends!"

The King finished speaking, his gaze fell upon Jiang Yi, and he then asked, "How did you guess I was the King? I generally don't appear in public, and very few people have seen me."

"It's actually very simple. Although you are not wearing royal attire and are wearing ordinary clothes, you cannot hide the noble aura about you. In the entire Eagle Kingdom, the only one with such an indescribable noble aura is the King of the Eagle Kingdom!"

"Also, Mei Nasha is the Crown Princess of the Eagle Kingdom, and her status is noble. When you arrived just now, she immediately stood up to greet you! That's why I guessed you are the King of the Eagle Kingdom!"

Jiang Yi explained.

"Interesting!"

The King of the Eagle Kingdom smiled slightly. "I've heard everything Mei Nasha told me about you. Your medical skills are astonishing, and only you can cure Prince Matthew's illness. Arranging for you to be by Prince Matthew's side will make it much easier to deal with him."

Jiang Yi knew very well that with his status, he was not qualified to meet the dignified King of the Eagle Kingdom.

The King of the Eagle Kingdom seeing him was nothing more than an attempt to win him over while also intimidating him, ensuring he wouldn't dare to betray the Eagle Kingdom's royal family.

This tactic was indeed very clever.
