Chapter 149: Possession by the Baron (Additional Update)
The Grand Marshal fell into silence, his eyes narrowing slightly, clearly contemplating Chu You’s words.
Seeing this, Chu You spoke again, a glint in his eyes, "Grand Marshal, if you can help me in this matter, you will definitely benefit. Furthermore, we will become long-term partners in future."
"The matter of Heavenly Gate Fortress isn’t a small one. A mere Marshal like me doesn’t have the power to decide, it requires the approval of the Yan Emperor," the Grand Marshal solemnly responded.
Hearing this, Chu You nodded, showing no surprise.
As long as this visit could unveil a breakthrough, that was Chu You’s goal. With his ability and power, he believed he could quickly gain control of the ruling council.
"As you know Daoist, the Heavenly Gate Fortress is a Divine City that suppresses the gateway to Hell. It’s related to the peace and safety of Yan Kingdom for generations. Any mistake could bring about disaster."
Hearing this, Chu You smirked contemptuously. "As far as I know, it was the Court that invested heavily, draining Yan Kingdom’s ability to deal with internal rebellions and rampant monsters. As I said, with my power, no demon will appear in the human world. Even if that happened, you could take back control of the Heavenly Gate Fortress." As he spoke, Chu You’s tone was mysterious, his gaze inscrutable.
Ah, once I gain control of the fortress, nobody can wrest it from my grasp.
"What you said is correct. In this way, the Court could also free itself from the abyss. However, you hold little prestige in our kingdom. Nobody in the Court will trust your claims. To put it simply, without having made contributions to the Court, it is impossible for your proposal to be accepted," the Grand Marshal finally revealed his doubts.
