Huangfu Chongxiao nodded. "No problem."
"I want the five-hundred-li radius around Ying City to become my personal, permanent fiefdom," Huangfu Haoyue added. "It will be my domain, and from that point on, it will have nothing to do with the Empire!"
Huangfu Chongxiao was stunned at first. He hesitated for a long moment, his mind racing with calculations, before gritting his teeth. "Done!"
"Afterward, I want ten million taels of Gold and one hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones. Furthermore, for the first three years of your reign, I will be the Regent King, and I will take a tenth of all tax revenue during that time!" Huangfu Haoyue's demands were outrageous. He watched Huangfu Chongxiao's expression darken, then added slowly,
"I can guarantee that if you agree, you will succeed. I can also promise that I will never compete with you for the throne. I will never move against you."
"Truly?"
"Truly."
"Alright!"
