In the king-sized bed, Raugel was having fun with two ladies. Jin Rou didn't need to know what was their doing as he was very aware of what was it.
For some reason, Jin Rou felt disgusted when he was looking at this scene. Supposed to be, this type of deed should be sacred yet this Raugel was tainting it like it's normal.
Raugel was busy kissing the other lady when he finally felt an outer presence. He looked in every direction and saw Jin Rou standing there like a statue, with cold eyes. He couldn't help but prop up and cover the two ladies and said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
He was ready to attack the moment he heard something he didn't like. However, he was cautious at the same time. After all, the mansion was packed with maximum security. Getting here without the security noticing meant that this must be an expert.
Jin Rou didn't answer the questions and quietly looked at the first prince which made him uncomfortable. He asked once again, but this time it was filled with authority, "This prince is asking you who are you. You are required to answer me."
"First Prince Raugel Prime, who do you think you are?" Jin Rou finally spoke, "You aren't qualified to know who am I. I am here to have a little chitchat with you first."
"And what's next after the chitchat?" The first prince asker. He was stalling time in order to make a move to inform the security about this breach.
"Who knows?" Jin Rou shrugged his shoulders, "But I advise you not to do anything funny like calling the guards or whatnot. It's useless, as they are all killed as of this moment."
The first prince was surprised to hear this. He immediately expanded his senses and discovered that there were no life auras around the vicinity of the mansion. And he could also feel a mountain of corpses outside the place.
The two ladies were shaking in fear as they heard these two men talking. It seemed that the other party had come here with bad intentions and they might be implicated as well. They wanted to run, however it might leave a bad taste in the prince's mouth and never wanted them again.
The first prince knew that he couldn't attack immediately unless he already knew the full capabilities of the enemy. Thus, he sat and calmed himself down and said, "What do you want to talk about?"
Jin Rou was impressed by this first prince's decisiveness. Not only was he able to calm himself, he was able to do what to do first before anything else, "No wonder you are the first prince. You are quite capable in making decisions."
Jin Rou praised him for a bit, released a small amount of his aura and continued, "I want to know how is the fight for the throne has been going?"
Jin Rou also knew from the third prince's memories that the battle for the throne had began. The current emperor decided to resign from his position in the near future and want to pass down the crown to the deserving. And the first and second prince was scheming out under their own tables to achieve their goals. Supposedly, the first prince should be the rightful successor of the crown. However, the emperor loved the second prince more and pampered him to the fullest. Thus, the first prince was actually in quite of a disadvantage right now.
But as the first prince, he wasn't willing to go down without a fight. Thus, he was trying his best to stabilize his position and fight for the crown. That was why he had been training every night in hopes of getting stronger to contend against the second prince.
"It is none of your business." The first prince denied to answer. He almost choked when he felt that terrifying power. He didn't want anyone to know this hidden and shameful situation of his.
Jin Rou didn't mind this and said, "I heard that the second prince has already stepped into the eleven crowns realm. While you, for now, is still in the ten crowns realm. It is no wonder that you are in a tight position right now."
The first prince was greatly shaken when he heard this, "How did you know this?! It should be a confidential information!"
"There is nothing that I want to know that I can't know." Jin Rou chuckled, "But you don't need to be terrified. If you're willing, I can be your ally."
"Ally?" The first prince knew that he acted weird thus he calmed down again and asked. His expression was telling Jin Rou that he didn't understand well.
"Yes, we can be allies. I can help you defeat your younger brother and also help you achieve your dream of becoming the emperor." Jin Rou opened his arms and smiled.
"I don't even know who you are. And you said I'm not qualified to know. So how can I trust you?" The first prince grumbled. However, it was obvious that he was enticed by the offer.
Jin Rou also knew this and said, "Ah, it's true that you aren't qualified but I can assure you that you can trust me with this. After all, you might be aware of my capabilities now. With my power, do you think that you will still be alive right now?"
The first prince pondered this for a moment. The other party had a point. He also knew that he wasn't a match against him when Jin Rou leaked a bit of his power a while ago during the initial conversation. If in case he declined, this man would surely kill him without mercy. So the choice he had left was to cooperate. Besides, the other party was willing to help him in his battle for the throne. So wasn't it a golden offer by his doorstep?
"But what's in it for you that you're willing to help me?" This was what the first prince wanted to ask. As to what kind of benefits would this man reap when he helped him.
"Ah, the benefits for me, you'll know it when you finally become the emperor." Jin Rou laughed a bit. It had a trace of sinisterness that could be heard.
