Mythical Card Supplier: Starting with Nezha, the Third Lotus Prince

Chapter 1102 - 712: Another Group Targeting the Treasure Vault

"I'm kind of looking forward to his performance tomorrow."

Compared to Gudusidan's anticipation, another person wasn't very hopeful.

"With his strength so formidable, is there a way to prevent him from participating in tomorrow's battle?"

The Second Prince, Gudu Siyi, felt somewhat displeased and asked the lackey beside him.

"There is a way to keep him from entering tomorrow's battle, but the cost might be substantial."

Gudu Siyi frowned slightly but eventually waved his hand dismissively.

"That's no problem; whatever he desires, we can provide as long as he doesn't compete tomorrow and joins my ranks."

Gudu Siyi was quite generous, especially when it came to matters of seizing the throne.

He understood that everything he invested upfront would return once he claimed the throne.

And if he didn't win the throne, all the upfront costs would turn into illusions.

But if the throne was lost, whether these things turned into illusions wouldn't matter anymore.

"Alright!"

The lackey was very excited. Following a generous boss felt just like this.

Whatever the other party wanted, he could acquire some benefits for himself in the process.

"Should we wait until after his match tomorrow to decide?"

The lackey had just nodded in agreement when another person, dressed somewhat like a butler beside Gudusidan, frowned slightly and spoke.

"After all, it's only the preliminary rounds now; it's hard to truly assess his potential and combat power."

"What I mean is we could set him a goal."

"For example, if he enters the main match, what rewards can he earn by passing the first round? What rewards can he earn by breaking through the second round?"

"And if he wins the championship, what rewards can he earn, things like that."

"Of course, if he wants to obtain these rewards, he must join us."

The person dressed as a butler said this with a slight smile: "The Royal Guard selection rules don't state that passing the selection requires joining the Royal Guard."

"This also works."

Thinking it over, Gudu Siyi nodded slightly, looking at the lackey beside him.

"I'll leave the communication with him to you; it's imperative he agrees."

"What if he doesn't agree?"

The lackey was stunned for a moment, then cautiously asked.

"If he doesn't agree..."

Gudu Siyi said, his gaze flashing with a hint of ruthlessness: "Then make it impossible for him to participate in tomorrow's battle."

"Understood!"

The lackey gleefully nodded quickly and headed outside.

Such tasks were his specialty.

Gudu Siyi sat in the room, glanced at Jiang Yuan, then watched Bixiao's battle.

"Do you think I might have a chance to make her my concubine?"

Gudu Siyi smiled: "Although she's quite ordinary in appearance, I like her personality a lot. Plus, her combat power is impressive; the children she'd bear should be very talented too."

The Royal Family heirs aren't limited to just the five of them.

But only the five of them possess decent cultivation talent, so they were chosen as heirs to the throne.

Therefore, when they seek partners, they naturally look for those with considerable talent.

If after inheriting the throne, none of his sons have the talent to inherit it, that would be troublesome.

That's why he set his sights on Bixiao.

Even though Bixiao's appearance isn't that striking, almost ordinary.

She can still serve as a concubine.

In time, mother and child might rise in status—it's not impossible.

Not only does he think this way, but Gudusidan does as well.

Gudusidan took a liking to Shi Ji without any regard for future offspring.

He was simply driven by lust.

As for future offspring?

There would be other women later on, not much of an issue.

After all, when he fancied Shi Ji, he had no intention of competing for the throne.

In the arena, Bixiao won effortlessly, advancing to the main match alongside Jiang Yuan.

"Congratulations on making it to the main match; please report tomorrow morning at 9:00 for the final competition."

"Failing to show will result in disqualification."

After the fight, as night fully fell, a person dressed as a butler entered the hall and spoke to Jiang Yuan and the other 125 participants.

After speaking, he left.

"Let's head back; we have to continue the competition tomorrow morning."

Jiang Yuan said as he got up, leading Bixiao toward the hotel where they were staying.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as they exited the contestant seats, a voice called out to them.

"What's up?"

The person who called them was also a contestant, in the same group, and likewise one who made it to tomorrow's main match.

"I want to discuss something with you."

Lei Keao beamed at Jiang Yuan and Bixiao.

"If we meet tomorrow, could you let me win the match and achieve final victory?"

"If you agree, I'll reward you more than the first-place prize."

"No way."

The moment Lei Keao finished speaking, Jiang Yuan shook his head and refused.

Are you kidding me? Do I lack those rewards?

I'm aiming for the Royal Treasure Vault.

Can your reward compare to the Royal Treasure Vault?

"Hmm?"

Jiang Yuan's refusal stunned Lei Keao.

He anticipated Jiang Yuan might refuse him, but not so bluntly without a moment's thought.

"Won't you reconsider?"

"What I can offer is better than the first-place prize!"

"Except for not being able to join the Royal Guard..."

"No way."

This time, before Lei Keao could finish speaking, Jiang Yuan immediately refused.

Turning down the offer, he left with Bixiao.

Watching Jiang Yuan leave, Lei Keao ground his teeth angrily.

"Humph, pretending to be all noble?"

"You think if it comes down to a fight, I'd shy away from you?"

"I was just being cautious, opting for this last resort."

"Since you won't agree, if we meet tomorrow, I will show no mercy!"

Though Lei Keao was irritated, he was indeed confident in his strength.

Like Jiang Yuan, he also won three consecutive matches in the preliminary rounds to enter the main match.

The attempt was merely due to Jiang Yuan and Bixiao's formidable strength, fearing they might disrupt his plans, and wanting to buy them off.

Since the buy-off failed, it would depend on their skills tomorrow!

"Didn't succeed?"

After Lei Keao returned, his companion asked curiously.

"Didn't, but it's fine."

Lei Keao shook his head: "My combat power is no less than theirs. If we face off, it won't affect our plan."

"Okay, with the other two already eliminated, you're the only remaining hope. Your task is heavy; you mustn't get eliminated."

The companion nodded slightly: "If you get eliminated too, our plan to raid the property owner's treasure vault would be delayed again."

"Don't worry."

Lei Keao nodded, but he felt exhausted.

They invested so much time into this plan.

Yet, they haven't even embarked on the first step.

The first step of their plan was infiltrating the Royal Guard to learn the location of the Royal Treasure Vault.

But unfortunately, the people they sent for the Royal Guard selections in the other two princes' guards weren't successful.

Finally, they had no choice but to suppress his realm to join the Royal Guard selection.

Suppressing his realm cost them a Golden Quality Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

Yet it only lasts for a month.

A month, three opportunities; joining the Royal Guard was imperative.

Since the drug's effect lasts for a month, the sooner, the better.

"Strange, is the treatment in the Royal Guard so good? Why are they all trying to bribe?"

Back at the hotel, Bixiao curiously asked Jiang Yuan.

Because just upon their arrival downstairs at the hotel, they were also offered compensation not to participate in tomorrow's main match.
