Chapter 140: Chapter 140

Within the Grand Secretariat, there were a total of six Grand Secretaries, and five of them were confidants he had planted inside.

Only Jasper belonged to Oswin’s faction.

These five Grand Secretaries were his trusted aides and naturally would not betray him.

Therefore, the likelihood that this memorial was withheld by Jasper was extremely high.

The more the South-Subduing King thought about it, the more bizarre the situation felt, and the vigilance in his eyes grew heavier.

The Grand Secretariat was the core institution that handled court affairs, his ability to control the entire political landscape relied precisely on it. Through the Grand Secretariat, he could dictate all matters in the royal court.

Jasper was the confidant of the current ruler of the Silver Willow dynasty, Oswin. Although Oswin was a puppet in his hands, he still held a faint influence over the court, relying entirely on Jasper’s presence in the Grand Secretariat.

These past few days, the South-Subduing King had constantly wanted to kick Jasper out to take complete control, turning Oswin into a puppet with absolutely no power to resist. However, he had never succeeded.

The reason was that Jasper was too slick and meticulous in his actions. He never left any flaws, even if the King wanted to make a move against him, he could not find a valid excuse.

Jasper’s importance to the current ruler was self-evident.

To think this person would take such a massive risk to intercept that memorial and conceal the fact that so many strangers had appeared in the capital, such behavior was truly highly unusual.

The South-Subduing King glanced at the Night Patrol Envoy kneeling on the ground and waved his hand to dismiss him, then turned to the Eunuch Scribe beside him.

"Companion, why do you think Jasper would conceal this matter?"

The Eunuch Scribe pondered for a moment before voicing his suspicion. "Your Highness, do you remember that Jasper visited that Inkwood Academy a few days ago?"

"You must know, that Inkwood Academy is where that existence resides."

Hearing the Eunuch Scribe mention the Inkwood Academy, the South-Subduing King’s face turned exceptionally ugly.

The tragic deaths of his three ancestors a few days ago had caused him massive, irreplaceable losses, he had long been extremely fearful of that Mortal Supreme in the Inkwood Academy. His heart was filled with such intense hatred that he wished he could eat the man’s flesh and gnaw his bones.

It was just that this person’s strength was too terrifying, and the Great Ancestor and Second Ancestor were currently in seclusion refining an opportunity.

Thus, he had temporarily put aside his hatred.

Now, that Inkwood Academy was already a taboo zone in the capital.

The previous Inkwood officials had long been relocated to the eastern part of the city.

He already knew about Jasper’s visit a few days ago, and he knew Jasper’s objective was to recruit that person. However, he did not think Jasper would succeed.

After all, even when the ruler of Silver Willow personally tried to persuade him, that existence remained completely unmoved.

What could a mere Jasper possibly offer to move such a figure?

The South-Subduing King understood the implication in the Eunuch Scribe’s words and rejected it. "I know what you mean. But even Oswin, who is his close friend, couldn’t get this existence to come out of seclusion. To think Jasper could persuade him with his glib tongue! It’s simply a joke."

"But Your Highness, these unfamiliar faces in the capital only started appearing after Jasper left the Inkwood Academy. Could this truly be just a coincidence?!"

The Eunuch Scribe’s words left the South-Subduing King momentarily speechless, he fell into a deep silence.

He wanted to refute the Eunuch Scribe’s words, but he could not find a single logical reason to do so.

How could there be such a coincidence in this world? The more he thought about it, the more he felt the Eunuch Scribe was right, could Jasper have actually managed to win over that existence?

Thinking that his deduction was highly likely to be true, a vicious glint flashed in his eyes.

He was crystal clear on the strength of that Inkwood official named Adam.

In his entire South-Subduing lineage, perhaps only the Great Ancestor and Second Ancestor had any chance of contending with him.

However, both were currently in seclusion, refining a massive opportunity.

As long as they succeeded, they had a very high chance of breaking through into the Heaven and Earth Deity realm. But as for when they would finish, he had no exact timeframe.

If that Inkwood official truly struck out against his lineage now, he feared none of the currently awakened ancestors could match him.

Presently, the hidden forces of the Southern aristocratic clans were continuously pouring into the capital, looking at this momentum, a great battle was bound to occur soon.

With that Mortal Supreme assisting the Southern clans, the forces the Prince currently controlled might not hold them off, even if he could contend with them and win, it would only be a pyrrhic victory.

In the current Silver Willow, although his faction was the largest, several other factions were capable of challenging him.

If he suffered catastrophic losses, the ones who would profit were the other three Kings eyeing him like hungry tigers.

This was obviously not an outcome he was willing to see.

The South-Subduing King instantly felt this situation was incredibly thorny, and unable to come up with any good solutions, he could only turn to the Eunuch Scribe for help.

"If Jasper has truly convinced that Inkwood official to intervene, how should we respond?"

A look of helplessness appeared on the Eunuch Scribe’s face, he did not know how to answer.

He also knew the inside story regarding the tragic deaths of the three ancestors, giving him a profound understanding of that Inkwood official Adam’s strength.

Although the South-Subduing King’s ranks were filled with many experts, including dozens of Mortal Supremes and nearly ten Proving the Dao existences, truthfully speaking, compared to that Inkwood official, the difference was like mud and clouds.

Against an existence of that caliber, relying purely on numbers would make it incredibly difficult just to defeat him.
