The Crown Prince smiled mischievously because with this Spiritual Pearl, he could ascend the throne and would no longer need anyone's charity.
Meanwhile, General Ma and his men had their own plans.
Just as the Crown Prince was about to soar into the sky and take the black pearl, General Ma was one step ahead and seized it.
Seeing this, the Crown Prince was somewhat displeased, but since they were all in the same boat, he couldn't really turn against them. Perhaps the other party was just trying to help him catch the Heavenly Thunder Pearl? So he called out, "General Ma, please hand me the Heavenly Thunder Pearl."
"Give it to you? Dream on!" General Ma revealed a sly smile, exposing his long-hidden cunning.
"You... Are you planning a rebellion?" The Crown Prince suddenly had a bad premonition and felt fearful.
"That's right, I plan to rebel." General Ma fearlessly admitted without any disguise.
"You... guards, seize this traitor quickly!"
