Excessive ferocity due to caution

Chapter 655 Prince Xin

"Something more important?"

Zhao Yi's eyes lit up with interest.

Jin Shiyue stared at her teacup, not exuding much of the aura of someone in a superior position.

"The situation in the capital is slightly different from what outsiders imagine."

"The four major families are fighting openly and covertly, the Fifth Federation is colluding with various forces, and the entertainment company is being completely invaded by other forces... These are all superficial things."

Zhao Yi asked:

"What's going on inside?"

The moon returns now:

"The capital city isn't actually as corrupt as many people perceive it to be; otherwise, the Skull Church would have already stormed in."

"But its situation is definitely not good either; it's an unavoidable problem that each generation is worse than the last."

"Later generations lived in better environments, and they could see things more clearly."

"For individual development, this is definitely a good thing, but for the Federation of Humanity as a whole... it's a chronic incurable disease."

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"People's morale has collapsed, making them difficult to manage?"

The moon nods in agreement:

"It's best if you understand, after all, I can't say more about this matter."

Zhao Yi said calmly:

There must always be a proper balance between the interests of the group and the interests of the individual.

"It's like a balance scale... if one side exceeds the other by too much, the scale will collapse."

"If you only fleece the sheep but don't feed them grass, the sheep will die."

Now, as the moon tastes the bitterness in the tea, it sighs:

"The current state of the capital city is not something that any one person or group of people could decide, aside from external and internal troubles."

"Things wouldn't turn out this way if a group of people could easily control the thoughts of others."

"After all, humans are different from ants; human thoughts are very complex."

"Those who haven't experienced bloodshed and fire can only stand around with their hands on their hips and make sarcastic remarks."

"Just like you said, the balance in the capital was already tilted... and now it's being broken little by little."

Zhao Yi remained silent for a moment.

This is clearly related to the church.

"They really are everywhere..."

Zhao Yi laughed.

Moon at this moment:

"The first family the Skull Church invaded was the Lü family."

"Because they control the biggest weapon of public opinion in the capital."

"At that time, not many people actually cared... because the leaders in the capital believed that these opinions were just empty talk and could not really have any impact on them or the capital."

Zhao Yi clicked his tongue:

"I think they must have been at the height of their power back then."

Now, Yue's tone also carried a hint of sarcasm.

"Yes."

"These people were at the peak of their lives back then, and probably never imagined that they would grow old, and that the future of the world ultimately belongs to the young."

"The bizarre mindset of young people in the capital today is inextricably linked to them."

"Only now do we realize that morale has collapsed... It's too late."

"However, these old guys haven't really left yet, and the Skull Church is unwilling to fight to the death with the capital."

"They know very well that they can afford to wait, but the people in the capital cannot."

Zhao Yi smiled slightly:

"In terms of ideological unity, the Skull Church is clearly doing a much better job than the Imperial City..."

Jin Shiyue poured herself a cup of tea.

"Those proud old folks have realized this problem; they may be arrogant, but they're not stupid."

"They also need fresh blood to enter the capital."

Hearing Jin Shiyue's meaningful tone, Zhao Yi seemed to understand something.

"Is this how the Bounty Association came about?"

Jin Shiyue was slightly surprised, and looked at Zhao Yizan, saying:

"clever."

"That's right, the Bounty Association was born from this. Otherwise, with just a few favors from Liu Ruoqing, I would never have been able to gain a foothold in such a dangerous place as the capital."

"Of course... while those hidden leaders need fresh blood, they don't need just anyone."

"They will only help those who have the ability to stir up trouble."

Zhao Yi calmly said:

"Can I take that you represent their position?"

Jin Shiyue clicked her tongue and said:

"Half and half. You might not believe me if I said I helped you only because of my relationship with Liu Ruoqing."

"Actually, I had been considering whether to reach out to you earlier, but now that you've come to me, I might as well just get straight to the point."

"After all, you're not from one of the four great families of the capital, and you have an irreconcilable feud with the Li family. Since ancient times, the friend of a friend is the enemy... cough, the enemy of an enemy is the friend."

"If you want to establish yourself in the capital and develop your own power, we can help you, but you must also give us 'feedback'."

Zhao Yi pondered.

Jin Shiyue continued:

"You've already made your choice in your heart, haven't you?"

"You came to me instead of the Jiang family, which already shows your attitude."

Zhao was slightly surprised:

"You know about the Jiang family's affairs too?"

Moon at this moment:

"We have people within the four clans of the capital, including the Fifth Federation."

Zhao Yi asked:

"Do we need any contract?"

The moon shakes its head now:

"The Bounty Association is free."

"We will provide you with whatever feedback you can give us."

Zhao Yi understood.

"Well then... it's a pleasure working with you."

The two shook hands.

Now, Yue got into her black sedan.

"By the way... Mr. Zhao."

"To avoid causing trouble for each other, it's best not to tell anyone that you've joined the Bounty Association. We will also try to keep it as discreet as possible when we offer you assistance."

Feng Nan appeared here after he left.

"Isn't it a bit too early for you to enter the capital now?"

Zhao Yidao:

"It's getting late."

"Let's make some preparations first."

Feng Nan handed a letter to Zhao Yi.

"The branch's next film is a multiplayer battle royale game, a collaboration with the branch next door owned by Prince Xin."

"The actors are the people you brought into the company."

"But Prince Xin sent me a large amount of resources and treasures."

Zhao Yi took the letter, opened it, and read it.

Prince Xin is very interested in the resources offered by the entertainment company for this film and wants to make a deal with Fengnan.

"Doesn't he know who you are?"

Zhao Yi's tone was surprised.

People in entertainment companies should all know what kind of person Feng Nan is.

Fengnan:

"The reward for this movie is very generous, so generous that Prince Xin will even write me a letter."

indeed.

Under normal circumstances, anyone in the entertainment company who knows Feng Nan's style of work would never think of cheating.

But this time, the movie's reward tempted Prince Xin.

So, clinging to a sliver of hope, he wrote a letter to Fengnan.

If he disagrees, he can think of other ways.

If they agree, then everything will be fine, saving a lot of trouble.

What kind of person is Prince Xin?

Fengnan briefly commented:

"Pigeon."

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow:

"How so?"

Feng Nan explained:

He challenged me to a fight six years ago, but he didn't show up.

"He's not a king of faith, he's a king of lies."

Zhao Yi rolled his eyes.

"What's the reward for this movie?"

Feng Nan took out a special device, opened the company's internal system, and browsed through it:

"It is the 'Seed of the World'."

Zhao Yi:

"What are its effects?"

Fengnan:

"To allow someone below the level of a Great Calamity to randomly comprehend a law."

The two exchanged a glance.

It's definitely a good product.

Having this thing means that it's almost certain that a "big monster" can be created!

"Entertainment companies really do have all sorts of weird and wonderful things."

Zhao Yi couldn't help but sigh.

That guy Tang Jiushijiu, I wonder how much stuff he stuffed into the entertainment company back then.

Although this person was his former close friend, he had now lost contact with him, and Zhao Yi had no recollection of Tang Jiujiu.

He gradually absorbed the remaining power of his original personality, and that memory will eventually fade away.

Fengnan:

"What are your plans?"

"If not, then I'll have to make my move."

I came to my senses.

Feng Nan's face screamed "troublemaker."

Zhao Yi stroked his chin and paced back and forth a few steps.

"Your uncompromising attitude is actually very good, but I think it should be modified slightly."

Feng Nan frowned and said:

"How do I modify it?"

Zhao Yi:

"Do you know why you have a bad reputation?"

Feng Nan thought for a moment:

"Because I refuse to associate with them."

Zhao Yi:

"wrong."

"It's because you're too reserved and shy."

Looking directly into Feng Nan's puzzled blue eyes, Zhao Yi continued:

"You're not some great hero, and neither am I."

"So what we need to do is not resist, but... massacre."

Fengnan Yangmei:

"But Yan She warned me that violence cannot solve problems."

"If you kill one Prince Xin, there will be a second."

"People like Prince Xin can't be completely wiped out."

Zhao Yi placed both hands on Feng Nan's shoulders.

With the addition of shoulder blades, Fengnan's strength became even more unfathomable.

"Did he tell you there were no way to kill them all?"

"Um."

"Then I'll tell you... we can kill them all."

Zhao Yi's tone gradually became excited and violent.

"Yan She is getting old."

"He's too conventional, that's why you're in this stalemate."

Feng Nan's heart gradually started beating faster, as if his passion was slowly returning.

"My teacher once told me, 'Strike once and you'll avoid a hundred blows.'"

"That's why I often get into fights."

Zhao Yi's smile was unrestrained.

"It wasn't a punch that landed..."

"Drag these people out and beat them all to death."

"Not everyone will remember your kindness, but everyone will remember the fear they felt towards you!"

Feng Nan clenched his fist:

"That sounds awesome... but if that's the case, it seems like we're becoming the same kind of people as those guys in the capital."

Zhao Yi:

"They bully the weak."

"We blaspheme the strong."

"They are evil."

"We... are the guillotine hanging over their heads."

"Since we need to get rid of the termites anyway, let's start with Prince Xin."

...

Entertainment company, Xinwang branch.

"Did Fengnan reply?"

Prince Xin, who was in the middle of a fierce battle with a woman, received a letter from Fengnan.

Many high-ranking figures prefer to communicate using paper letters.

The reason is that it is easy to destroy the evidence afterward, leaving no trace behind.

Sitting up in bed, Prince Xin lit a cigarette and opened the envelope.

The above content made him beam with excitement, yet it also left him with some doubts.

The woman beside him nudged him lightly with her foot, her tone seductive:

"Young Master Xin, what are you looking at that makes you so happy..."

Prince Xin's lips curled slightly:

"I won the lottery."

"I just don't know if this lottery ticket is real or fake..."

He returned to the warm bed, and the woman could feel him trembling slightly.

That was excitement.

"Tonight, have people make good preparations; a distinguished guest is coming."

The woman asked:

"Who?"

King Xin:

"A stone."

...

Yan She's office.

Hearing Feng Nan's question, Yan She replied:

"King Xin is working for Lü Hong. This time, the one who truly wants the Seed of the World is not King Xin, but Lü Hong."

He was preparing a birthday present for his son.

"His son is about to come of age, and many of Lü Hong's forces are doing their best to prepare a good coming-of-age ceremony for him. As one of Lü Hong's more capable servants, Prince Xin certainly won't let this opportunity pass him by."

"At this critical juncture, if you kill Prince Xin, it will inevitably provoke Lü Hong's wrath."

Feng Nan thought for a moment:

"His son?"

"Is that the good-for-nothing who consumed a large amount of family resources but still failed to break through to the Great Fate Realm?"

Yan She was silent for a moment, then coughed and said:

"Fengnan... it's best to keep these thoughts to yourself."

"In short, if you guys want to cause trouble, this old man will definitely support you."

"But you should carefully consider and eliminate the consequences of causing trouble at this stage."

Feng Nan took out a small notebook and opened it to the first page.

"I'll say it again... You can never see a person's true face from the throne."

"Only on the guillotine."

Yan She was stunned for a moment.

"Hmm... what does this have to do with what I said?"

Feng Nan put away his notebook.

"no."

"But I think it's cool to say that at this time."

Yan She:

"..."

There was a moment of silence.

The old man said again:

"However, the Qin family has recently approached the entertainment company again. I'm thinking, if you insist on making a move at this critical juncture, perhaps you could take advantage of the Qin family's influence?"

Feng Nan asked curiously:

"What does the Qin family want with us?"

elder:

"They're not looking for us, they're looking for Zhao Yi. It's hard to say exactly why; they're being very secretive."

"And it seems... to be a private matter."

Yan She told Feng Nan that only Qin Bai had come at that time.

Qin Bai went on an adventure with Zhao Yi in the Infernal Realm and returned with a powerful cursed artifact, which made him soar in status and wealth among his peers. Some members of the Qin family (his own hired trolls) even praised him as the most talented teenager in the Qin family in a thousand years!

This time, Qin Bai made no attempt to hide his visit to the entertainment company.

But he was very mysterious, only saying that he wanted to see Zhao Yi, but he wouldn't reveal a single word about what it was about.

"Shall I contact Zhao Yi?"

"He has already settled the matter with the Bounty Association."

Feng Nan said.

Yan She nodded.

"It's rare that the Qin family values Zhao Yi so much now; this is an opportunity."

"Besides, these two are old acquaintances, let them chat more."

PS: Today is also a two-in-one day.

The word count won't be short. (Missing this month's perfect attendance penalty is 600 yuan!)

I'm going out to eat, so I'm writing this now.

My darlings, get some rest early tonight. Goodnight in advance.
