575: Final Result

“If I'm not mistaken, the Wang Family has put all their chips on Sixth Brother. But what if they bet on the wrong person in the end?”

“Once I become the Emperor, I will likely make a move against the Wang Family if they stand in my way. Similarly, if someone else ascends to the throne, they probably won't sit idly by with such a major threat as Wang Family.”

“How can one allow others to sleep soundly beside their bed? The Wang Family is, after all, a bit too powerful. If they were just a simple, ordinary small Family, perhaps no one would pay them any mind. But on the contrary, the Wang Family's overall strength is very formidable, and the help they can provide Sixth Brother is enough for him to turn the tide.”

“However, if the Wang Family bets on both sides, then no matter who achieves the final victory, the Wang Family will be able to reap some benefits. Why wouldn't they?”

Wang Changfeng couldn't deny that this proposal was very tempting.

But in the end, he was not an egoist.

If he were to think only from his own perspective,

he would certainly refuse it vehemently.

However, when he considered the entire Wang Family,

Wang Changfeng hesitated.

The other party's conditions were very attractive; the Wang Family indeed needed to bet on both sides.

This way, no matter who won, the Wang Family would not lose in the end.

Even if they couldn't enter the core circle, they would certainly be able to get the share that rightfully belonged to them.

Moreover, for the Wang Family, what they currently lacked was a foundation to stand on.

Without the most fundamental things in hand, all their strength was merely superficial splendor.

Seemingly glorious and bright, but in reality, it was already precarious underneath.

After much thought, Wang Changfeng nodded.

“I cannot make this decision. I need to consult the Clan Chief before I can give you a final answer.”

The First Prince revealed a smile that showed it was just as he expected.

“Don't worry, I am not a person in a hurry. I just hope that after you return home, you and Clan Leader Wang can discuss this in detail, carefully consider the pros and cons, and then give me a reply.”

“I believe this answer will satisfy both you and me.”

Wang Changfeng couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

“Don't be so quick to be certain. I imagine the Clan Chief won't agree so easily.”

“Hahaha, it's alright. Daoist Wang only needs to convey the conditions. Moreover, this is not asking you to betray your alliance with Sixth Brother; it is merely hoping that you will bet on both sides.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Changfeng nodded.

In reality, how could he not see through it?

The other party was clearly wary of the Wang Family.

They wanted to use this method to divide the Wang Family.

Of course, he wasn't spouting nonsense.

This indeed had some benefits for the entire Wang Family.

Of course, the benefits weren't that significant.

It merely ensured the Wang Family's inevitable victory.

However.

This kind of victory might not be that important to the Wang Family.

Not long after, Wang Changfeng sat there for a short while longer.

Then he turned and left.

At the same time, when Wang Changfeng emerged from the First Prince's mansion,

he had already been noticed by certain people.

Soon, a secret agent went to the Sixth Prince's residence.

“Reporting to His Highness the Sixth Prince, Daoist Wang has just come out of the First Prince's mansion.”

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince's hand paused for a moment.

Then he continued writing.

He said nothing, and even the expression on his face showed no specific change.

The person speaking was a strategist.

The servant had just delivered the message to him, and only then did he report it.

He had thought the Sixth Prince might be angry, might be furious, or even curse loudly, but he had never imagined that the other party would be so calm.

So calm that it seemed he didn't care about this matter at all.

But wasn't Wang Changfeng his friend?

One could even say he was the cornerstone of the entire Wang Family's cooperation with the Sixth Prince.

Once Wang Changfeng had a problem, the Sixth Prince's current power would immediately collapse.

It could be said that the Sixth Prince's current status was entirely supported by the Wang Family, like a fox borrowing the tiger's might.

However, even in such urgent circumstances, the Sixth Prince was still so leisurely.

Showing not a trace of urgency.

As if he had sensed the strategist's thoughts.

The Sixth Prince couldn't help but smile.

“You're too attached to appearances. It doesn't matter what Brother Wang chooses.”

“At worst, the Wang Family will bet on both sides. As for betraying our cooperation, that is absolutely impossible.”

“But Young Master Wang has been sitting in the First Prince's residence for so long; they must have discussed extremely important matters. Why do you trust an outsider so much?”

The Sixth Prince threw his brush to the ground.

He turned around and looked at him steadily.

“You don't understand, and you wouldn't understand even if I told you, so there's no need to say it.”

“You just need to be clear that Brother Wang will not betray me, and the cooperation with the Wang Family will continue. At worst, the Wang Family will just bet on both sides, and you don't need to worry about this matter.”

Upon hearing this, the strategist sighed deeply.

He was not the one truly in charge.

Since the Sixth Prince said it was fine, then it was fine.

He seemed a bit superfluous.

Immediately, he turned and bid farewell, leaving.

But at the next moment, just as he was about to walk out the door, someone brushed past him.

This person was Wang Changfeng.

“Brother Wang is here?”

The Sixth Prince smiled when he saw Wang Changfeng.

He picked up the brush from the ground.

And casually placed it in the brush holder on the table.

Wang Changfeng also smiled.

“It seems the Sixth Prince has lost his temper quite a bit.”

“Not at all.”

The Sixth Prince waved his hand, “I have confidence in Brother Wang. The friendship between you and me cannot be dissolved by a few words from others.”

Wang Changfeng laughed heartily.

Then his expression became serious.

“This time, the other party offered conditions that I found difficult to refuse.”

The Sixth Prince was stunned for a moment.

Then he smiled and said,

“So? Brother Wang, are you really going to leave me?”

The strategist nearby felt his heart leap to his throat when he heard this.

But the next moment, Wang Changfeng gave an answer that surprised both of them.

“I neither agreed nor disagreed. I cannot make the decision on this matter; I need to consult the Clan Chief for his advice.”

“Of course, no matter what the final outcome, I will definitely stand by your side.”

“As for the First Prince's side... if the Clan Chief wants to make arrangements, perhaps he will bet on both sides, but since it's a bet, there will naturally be a difference in amount.”

“I can basically guarantee you that the vast majority of the Wang Family's resources will be tilted towards you. Only a small amount will be left for the First Prince's side, just to occupy a share.”

The Sixth Prince was stunned for a long time.

Finally, he burst into laughter.

“Brother Wang is truly a wonderful person. Since that's the case, I'll trouble Brother Wang to help facilitate this. My entire Family is relying on you.”

“That's too much, too much. Our friendship, how can it be broken by a few words?”

Wang Changfeng also laughed.

His interaction with the other party was not for profit.
