Chapter 220 Both Princes Sent Their Men
None in the room was a fool.
Like the King of Night said, Sean had thought about the second option, and so had Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf.
However, none dared to speak it.
The King of Night dared.
He spoke those words without hesitation as if the crown prince was nobody in his opinion.
Sean raised his head, gazing at the King of Night’s back solemnly. Still shocked, he wondered who the King of Night was precisely.
This question had appeared in his mind repeatedly in the past five years. However, he had never felt so eager to find the answer.
Sean was too curious about his identity.
After all, there were many influential families and bigwigs in the capital. Even Prince Roscoe, who competed with the crown prince for the throne, dared not to think of changing the crown prince.
Once the statement was spread, the person speaking would definitely be killed.
“Why? Scared?”
“Have no guts?”
The King of Night stood with his back towards Sean and the other two. However, he seemed to see their consternation. Sean still didn’t answer. The King of Night added, “The Mason family has joined the competition. You wish to destroy them. So you have to choose either option.”
“You can only choose either Prince Ashby or Prince Roscoe.”
“You must choose one.”
“In the past, you were in the army, Hilshire, or Crane Town, so you didn’t need to make such a choice. However, you’ve come to the capital. Neither Prince Ashby nor Prince Roscoe will ignore you because you are General Wolf of the North. They know all your secrets.”
“The competition for the throne was a matter of life or death.”
“Therefore, everyone in the competition is ruthless. If you don’t agree to work for them, you’ll become their foes. Especially since you are young and talented with large potential. They won’t let you do things freely in the capital as you are like a time bomb.”
His words reechoed in Sean’s ears.
The King of Night had stated his opinion clearly. If Sean chose the crown prince’s side, he would offend the sixth prince. On the contrary, he would offend the crown prince after taking the sixth prince’s side.
If he refused to choose either, he would end up miserably.
Sean was too competent with significant potential. From the perspective of both princes, they would rather kill Sean if he refused to work for them.
Therefore, Sean must choose either to work for. Otherwise, he would offend both if he chose neither.
“I got it.”
Sean nodded. It was time for him to take sides.
The King of Night suddenly appeared as he wanted to know Sean’s choice as early as possible.
“Brilliant.”
The King of Night asked, “So, which side will you take?”
“Or… Which way will you take?”
It was a critical decision, mainly because it was relevant to the competition for the throne. If Sean chose the right one to follow, he would develop well with a bright future after the prince ascended the throne.
Sean could do more things than take revenge.
On the contrary, if he made an incorrect decision, he would live in Hell, and so would his family and friends.
It was too critical, so Seam must be cautious.
Instead of answering the King of Night, Sean asked, “My Lord, what do you suggest?”
“In other words, may I know which side you have taken?”
According to the King of Night, whoever wanted to do things in the capital must choose to work for Prince Ashby or Prince Roscoe. Therefore, Sean wondered who the King of Night had chosen to follow.
He was curious and also wanted to test the King of Night. Sean couldn’t wait to find out his identity.
At least he could know the King of Night’s stance before deciding.
Otherwise, they would become foes if he chose the King of Night’s opposite side.
Sean focused on revenge all the time, so he wasn’t interested in joining the competition for the throne. He never wished to become superior, relying on working for a prince. Therefore, he didn’t think it was worth it if he became an enemy against his benefactor due to this matter.
Honestly speaking, Sean didn’t care which side to take. Anyway, he was determined to avenge and didn’t want anyone to stop him.
Therefore, the King of Night’s stance would impact Sean’s definitely.
“Stop playing tricks!” the King of Night snapped without looking back.
He snorted, “My mission is to tell you the current situation and the concerns, so you can prepare beforehand. Otherwise, you’ll be in trouble right after arriving in the capital.”
“I won’t give you any reference or interfere with your decision.”
‘Mission?’
Sean was bright, so he captured the keyword. It turned out the King of Night was sent by someone. He wouldn’t interfere with Sean’s choice. It meant the King of Night didn’t care which side Sean would choose.
Sean wondered if that meant the King of Night didn’t take either side.
Instantly, he realized the King of Night might have been sent by the Padishah.
Sean’s brain worked fast. In a blink, much inference had appeared in his mind.
Many things would make sense if the King of Night was the Padishah’s trustworthy subordinate.
Sean didn’t expect the Padishah to keep an eye on him during his closed-door training.
He felt flattered, wondering if it was his luck or misfortune.
Sean decided now to expose Bright Energy in his elixir field from then on unless the situation was indeed life-threatening. Many competent masters of Dark Energy stayed in the capital. Once his Bright Energy was exposed, the Padishah would dread him.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“You have limited time.”
The King of Night prompted, “Prince Ashby and Prince Roscoe have sent their men. They are waiting downstairs.”
“I still have other missions, so I need to go.”
With those words, the King of Night turned away.
Sean didn’t answer his question but didn’t insist on getting the answer. Anyway, the King of Night had spoken what he could tell Sean. Sean’s choice would be disclosed after meeting the men sent by the two princes.
Sean didn’t stop him.
After the King of night left, Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf strode to the window and looked down. Sure enough, the street outside the Coconut Hotel had been emptied.
All the doors were closed, and no single pedestrian was on the street.
Two lines of luxury cars were parked opposite each other on either side of the hotel. The heads of the left faced to the right, and the heads of the right faced to the left.
Seemingly, they were in a stalemate.
Evidently, one line was sent by Prince Ashby and the other by Prince Roscoe.
Both sides had tracked down Sean, so they arrived at the hotel immediately. They were forcing Sean to make a choice.
If Sean refused to give them an answer, he wouldn’t have a peaceful night.
“Mr. Mason!”
Those men didn’t go upstairs while gathering outside the hotel. Suddenly, they noticed Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf behind the window, so they looked up and yelled in unison, “Prince Carl, the Padishah’s ninth grandson, invited you to the welcome party in Jade Restaurant, Mr. Mason.”
“Prince Gerard, the Padishah’s third grandson, invited you to the welcome party in Jade Restaurant, Mr. Mason.”
Their voices were so loud that the three on the 15th floor heard every word.
Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf exchanged a glance, their faces livid.
Prince Carl was Prince Roscoe’s son. Prince Gerard’s father was Prince Ashby, the crown prince. They sent their men to invite Sean at the same time and held the welcome parties at the same restaurant–Jade Restaurant.
No matter which invitation Sean accepted, the other party would also be in the same place watching him.
It was way too awkward.
