Zat Wanliu was still wondering why this old fox had taken the risk of paying himself a visit.
But when he thought of the form of the Wanxiang Kingdom like a dark tide, he roughly figured out a little bit of the frown.
“Eh, ten billion in hand is better than one soldier opening his mouth, and financial power cannot resist military power after all.
Like Lord Zat, this kind of hand holding hundreds of thousands of majestic soldiers, is the real hero.”
Coffett raised his cup of tea towards Zat Wanliu with a meaningful smile, the meaning of which was clear enough.
If it were a time of peace, he would have been a man of great power and admiration, a man who controlled the economy.
But now the peace in the Kingdom of Wanxiang was only superficial.
Once chaos broke out, his situation would not be optimistic.
On this point, the two old foxes had already reached a tacit agreement.
Although Zatvanliu had a clear understanding, he could not help but let out a long sigh.
“That’s a heartbreaking statement from the chief, I’m just helping to manage.
If someone gets upset, I’m just a mere human being.”
As long as Kagen I had a breath of air, he had no real power to speak of.
Any higher position was just a doll being carried on a string, left to live and die.
“All the same, all the same, we’re just senior wage earners.”
“Of course, if the day ever comes, Lord Zat must not forget me as his brother-in-law!”
That was the really big thing Coffett was talking about.
Compared to a career of 50 billion or whatever it is, it’s just child’s play.
Zatvanliu agreed directly without the slightest hesitation.
“You and I are family, it’s only natural that we help each other.”
Lifting their cups, the two of them exchanged tea for wine and made some kind of agreement.
One side needed money and the other needed soldiers.
Such cooperation was also a win-win situation.
“All right, it’s getting late, I should get back.”
Coffett said and got up to take his leave.
“In such a hurry, sit down a little longer, at least until after you’ve sobered up!”
Faced with his offer to stay, Coffett immediately waved his hand in refusal, “I can’t stay much longer.”
“Someone is going to be uneasy after a long time, and the two of us are too sensitive.”
After saying this Coffett raised his hand and pointed to the person he was talking about, which was self-explanatory.
So Zatvanliu then did not dwell on it.
“Lord Zat stay here, there is no need to see me off, my driver is already here.”
After saying this, Coffett walked out of the castle with the help of his two servants, swaying on his feet as he walked out.
There was no trace of his recent sobriety in that appearance, he was a drunken man who was completely unconscious.
“An old fox!”
Zat Wanliu looked at the back of the Treasurer and shook his head with a bitter smile.
A rotten drunk person could at least make others drop their guard.
This was something that Zatvanliu was ashamed of himself, as he was obviously lacking in the world of human affairs, having come from a military background.
On the other hand, when Coffett got into the car, he was instantly sober again, and even the drunkenness that had been on his face was gone.
The a*sistant of the co-pilot turned his head and said, “Lord Chief, just now the Grand Prince, the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince called and wanted to invite over as guests.”
Coffett shook his head, “A bunch of kids, but they are well-informed.”
“Let’s just say I’m drunk on Lord Zat’s side, push it all off!”
“Also, when we get back, tell the public that I’ve injured my body by drinking and can’t get out of bed, so I decline all invitations.”
The a*sistant nodded thoughtfully and recorded this important item in detail in his book.
The back-seat Coffett opened the window, and the scenery on either side flew away towards behind him.
It seemed to Zatvanliu that he was only doing this to find himself an ally and an extra way back.
In fact he also wanted to use it to push away, once and for all, the invitations of those princes.
Repeated refusals would be remembered.
In time, one of them will rise to the top, and at that time it may be time to settle scores.
