Besides, in Prince Boateng's eyes, these one hundred pieces of Croatian fire coral were also a test from the secret society against the Boateng family. The secret society was known for its excellent intelligence gathering; their choice to send Croatian fire coral, rather than anything else, clearly indicated they might have heard rumors that Kabio Boateng was poisoned by the Taro Demon...

However, it is believed that the Secret Society also felt that the fact that Cabio Boateng, a member of the Boateng family, was poisoned by the Taro Demon was too serious. They were not sure if the rumors they heard were accurate, so they used these one hundred gifts of Croatian fire coral as a test.

If Prince Boateng accepts the gift, it means that it is true that Cabio Boateng is poisoned by the Taro Demon. Then, without a doubt, the Boateng family's secrets will fall into the hands of the Secret Society. In the subsequent negotiations, the Boateng family, with their secrets in someone else's hands, will naturally be at a disadvantage and in a passive position.

However, if they choose to refuse this gift, while they will avoid giving the secret society any leverage, the day when Kabio Boateng can be cured of the Taro Demon Poison and regain his strength will be a long way off!

Most importantly, Carpio Boateng has already been tormented by the Taro Poison for three years, severely damaging his vitality. If he continues to suffer from the Taro Poison, even if the Boateng family manages to gather enough Croatian Fire Coral to create an antidote and completely rid him of the poison, it remains uncertain whether Carpio Boateng will ever fully recover his strength, and even to what extent.

When Prince Boateng heard Isabella mention giving one hundred pieces of Croatian fire coral as a gift to the Boateng family in the reception room, he knew it was a test. He had considered pretending to refuse and then secretly taking the items, but after thinking about it for a dozen seconds, he gave up on doing so.

Because if anyone tries to steal those one hundred pieces of Croatian Fire Coral, regardless of whether they're acting under the banner of the Boateng family, Isabella will definitely think of the Boateng family first. This would be pointless and completely unnecessary, and also very risky. If handled improperly, they might not only fail to steal the Croatian Fire Coral but also anger the Secret Society. The Secret Society might then spread the secret, and the Boateng family would be in trouble!

Despite being furious at Isabella's move, Prince Boateng understood that it was a blatant scheme. Even if you knew her intentions, you couldn't help but fall into her trap.

Choosing to accept one hundred pieces of Croatian fire coral, and thus accepting a disadvantageous position in negotiations, was a decision Prince Boateng made after much deliberation amidst Isabella's open conspiracy.

Although this deal with the Secret Society is very important to the Boateng family, making such a choice will cause the Boateng family to lose many benefits in the deal with the Secret Society.

However, by acquiring one hundred pieces of Croatian Fire Coral, plus the eighty pieces already collected, and then working hard for another six months to collect twenty more pieces, he would have reached the amount of essence that Mox had mentioned for refining potions. This means that Kabio Boateng would very likely be able to completely get rid of the troubles caused by the Taro Demon Poison and recover his health!

As long as Kabio Boateng can recover his health, the Boateng family will no longer need to hide their true strength from others, fearing that their patriarch is suffering from the Taro Demon Poison and can no longer exert much of his power. Accepting these one hundred pieces of Crocia Fire Coral is equivalent to removing a bomb that could explode at any time for the Boateng family.

As Prince Boateng thought about this, his eyes gradually hardened. As the Boateng family representative in this negotiation with the Secret Society, if he lost too many benefits in the negotiation, even if there were reasons for it, the family would inevitably make him take the blame in order to quell internal anger. However, even so, Prince Boateng would not repeat his choice in the meeting room of the Aguderoda Hotel. Whether as the younger brother of Cabio Boateng or as a core member of the Boateng family, he had to take responsibility.

Prince Boateng took out an ancient-looking, silver-white mirror from his spatial ring, then cut his finger and used his blood as ink and his finger as a pen to write an Odin rune on the mirror surface with great seriousness, stroke by stroke.

A minute later, after Prince Boateng finished writing the last stroke of the rune on the mirror with his own blood, a brilliant silver-white light suddenly appeared on the mirror. A dozen seconds later, when the silver-white light dissipated, a middle-aged man with a very old face appeared in the mirror. However, upon closer inspection, his face looked very similar to Prince Boateng.

Without a doubt, this person is Prince Boateng's full brother, the current head of the Boateng family—Cabio Boateng!

"Prince, is there something important you need me for?" Cabio Boateng asked calmly, looking at his younger brother who had summoned him. His voice was calm, but it couldn't hide the weariness in it.

Sensing the weariness in his brother's voice, and remembering that these past few days had coincided with the full moon in West Ham, the southern city of the Odin Empire where their family resided, Prince Boateng immediately understood that Kabio Boateng must have been tormented by the Taro Demon Poison again. He frowned slightly and, without wasting words, said directly, "Isabella gave me one hundred pieces of Croatian Fire Coral as a gift, and I have accepted it!"

Upon hearing the name of the Crocia Fire Coral, and a hundred of them at that, a fleeting glint of shrewdness immediately appeared in the eyes of Carpio Boateng in the mirror. However, as the head of the Boateng family, Carpio Boateng was quite shrewd. Despite suffering from the torment of the Taro Demon Poison, he did not rush to ask where the items were.

Instead, he pondered for a moment, then, maintaining his calm tone, said to Prince Boateng, "You shouldn't make this decision on your own. This matter should be submitted to the family elders for a decision!"

"snort!"

Upon hearing his brother's explanation, Prince Boateng snorted coldly, looking at his brother in the mirror and saying with a sneer, "Kabio, others may not know your current physical condition, but do you think I don't?"
