Lin Xin knew better than Ye Xiu. The King of the Eternal Kingdom, who ostensibly stood above all but one and basked in unlimited glory, was, in reality, a house slave of the three great Judicator Families. A single word from them was all it took to replace the sovereign of a nation or elevate anyone to the throne.
As the Crown Prince of the Eternal Kingdom, why had Lin Xin come to Nanjing? It was all to cozy up to Kristina and gain the support of the Golden Family, which would give him leverage in his fight for the succession.
"You have no other path," Ye Xiu said coldly. "Either cooperate with me, or die!"
Only then did Lin Xin realize he held no qualifications or bargaining chips to negotiate with Huang Quan. He immediately compromised. "Alright. Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well take a gamble and join forces with you. What do you want me to do?"
