Not many days passed.
Or rather, did he know that Mo Qingyun was Axe's sister?
Maggie: "Who cares how many women he has around him, as long as he can get into the Bilderberg in the end!"
Colin: "Is that so? Tell me, how much longer until we get into the elite association!"
Ou Yunchen: "As soon as possible..."
Colin punched Ou Yunchen in the nose, and blood immediately streamed from it.
But Ou Yunchen was no pushover. He also punched Colin in the face. The two refused to yield to each other and began exchanging blows.
Maggie picked up a decanter and splashed its contents, finally calming the two down.
Maggie: "Now is not the time for mutual complaints. We need to find a way to get Ou Yunchen quickly recognized by Yun Qingyang!"
Colin spat at Ou Yunchen. Just as Ou Yunchen was about to raise his arm to hit him again, Maggie shouted "Enough!" and threw the decanter between them, shattering into many pieces with a loud crash!
Maggie: "The more you fight, the happier the people of the Tang Empire will be! Perhaps she wants to see us tear ourselves apart! If we fall into civil war, she will reap the benefits!"
Colin: "I'll pay you. Aren't you one of the most capable adopted sons? Kill that bitch!"
Maggie: "I want her dead even more than you do! But what's the use of that! The Tang Empire will still exist, and neither you nor I will gain anything!"
However, Ou Yunchen was unsettled by Colin's words, constantly wondering if Mo Qingyun had been exposed.
Moreover, at this critical juncture, if Colin were to capture Mo Qingyun, she could truly become a weapon to strike down the Tang Empire!
Should Mo Qingyun be sacrificed?
He suddenly felt cowardly, not even a tenth of the hatred he felt when he first learned of Mo Qingyun's identity...
Maggie: "Ou Yunchen, do you understand?"
Ou Yunchen: "..."
He hadn't heard a single word, only Colin's words and Yun Qingyang's name...
Colin: "Are you sure you can get Yun Qingyang to put Ou Yunchen on the list?"
Maggie: "I've only heard that Yun Qingyang once applied to the Bilderberg Club, but he was rejected, which is why he intends to establish his own association here."
Colin: "Who rejected him?"
Maggie: "Your father."
Colin: "Damn old man. If he had agreed, perhaps Yun Qingyang would give me some face now!"
Maggie: "None of us are in the Bilderberg Club, so we can only dangle a carrot in front of him."
"As long as he allows Ou Yunchen to become a member of the elite association, we will do our utmost to help Yun Qingyang's associates enter the Bilderberg."
"For a mentor, the greatest honor would be to tell everyone he meets in the future how outstanding his students are!"
Colin: "Bilderberg has a veto power, and it wasn't enough to get Ou Yunchen in. Moreover, Axe is already a member."
"As long as Michelle declares that Axe is dead, she will replace Axe and exercise the veto power in the name of the current Tang!"
For some reason, as Ou Yunchen listened, he seemed to see a person sitting in the darkness, a person who controlled everything – Axe.
Could it all be a trap? From the moment he suspected Maggie and Colin were colluding, he had been planning how to take everyone here down at once!
Therefore, he used his disappearance to confuse everyone here, including the yet-to-be-fully-exposed Ou Yunchen?!
Only when everyone thought they had found the right opportunity to counterattack the Tang Empire, would they realize they had already fallen into Axe's trap.
With a single command, he could round up the disloyal Maggie, the still-alive adopted son, and the long-hostile imperial family?
Maggie: "What are you thinking about?"
Ou Yunchen: "Axe might not be dead..."
Maggie: "How do you know?"
Ou Yunchen: "Based on my many years of brotherhood with him, I feel this is a smokescreen he's put up, waiting for us to take the bait."
Colin: "But he disappeared. How can we verify it?"
Ou Yunchen: "Unless we can find an opportunity to lure him out."
Maggie: "I think we can only kill Michelle. Otherwise, no one in this world can make him show himself."
No, there was one more person!
Ou Yunchen did not want to tell them of Mo Qingyun's existence. He also hoped to never have to use this chess piece!
However, at this moment, they had to prepare for both possibilities!
On one hand, they had to do everything they could to get Ou Yunchen into the elite association quickly; on the other hand, as a last resort, only Ou Yunchen knew that Mo Qingyun was the final lifeline...
Colin: "Ou Yunchen, you need to talk to Yun Qingyang with me. I think the conditions I can offer will be acceptable to him."
Ou Yunchen: "There is only one spot for students of this cohort, and I can guess that this year's spot is likely to go to Ren Xiaoguang."
Colin: "If he doesn't make an exception, I'll kill Ren Xiaoguang."
Ou Yunchen: "..."
Ou Yunchen glanced at the serious Colin. Perhaps he could really do it. If Ren Xiaoguang was eliminated, then from Colin's perspective, only Ou Yunchen would be left to be promoted?!
Colin: "Maggie, you need to go back to Michelle's side and find a way to get her to use you. Only by her side can you know if Axe is truly still alive!"
"I don't believe Axe can really manage to have no contact with Michelle at all!"
Ou Yunchen: "You need to pay attention to all her unusual activities, because Axe prefers the element of surprise."
Maggie nodded. Now the three of them were truly fighting side by side, for a common goal, risking all their wealth to fight a decisive battle against the Tang Empire!
