Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1632 - 677: How Many Divine Kings Can Zhao Ji Withstand?

Qiu Tu gently tapped his finger on the table twice, "This obviously defies common sense."

"If you were truly desperate for talent, then you should have been incredibly warm to me from the start. If you mistrusted me from the very beginning, you shouldn't have welcomed me from miles away."

"This can only mean one thing... you do need me, but you're unsure if I'm the person you need."

Upon hearing this, Doris's eyes began to flicker slightly. It was clear that Qiu Tu had hit upon her concerns.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu became more confident in his deductions.

He continued, "After understanding your conflicting mindset, I wondered, why do you need me? And why test me?"

"What exactly do you want to achieve?"

Qiu Tu paused, picked up the wine on the table, took a gentle sip, and then said, "All of this was answered when you explained the four Divine Kings to me."

"Your... goal from the beginning was the four Divine Kings."

"Although I'm unclear about the grievances you have with them, if I'm not mistaken... it most likely relates to the death of your father."

"Although you try hard to conceal it, once you have a stance, the words you say will inevitably leave some traces."

Qiu Tu looked deeply at Doris. There was no expression on her face, making it impossible to guess her inner thoughts.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu did not care. He shook his head slightly and continued, "Once your stance was confirmed, I naturally had control over everything."

He said, "You agreed to my invitation clearly because you wanted to recruit like-minded allies."

"And the series of probing after our meeting was actually to test my abilities."

"As for tonight's banquet..." Upon saying this, Qiu Tu pointed at the marble table and said firmly, "It's also a test. It's a test of whether my resolve is firm."

Doris, hearing this, chuckled lightly as if she'd heard something amusing. She said faintly, "Purely imaginary."

Qiu Tu wasn't bothered by Doris's denial of his guess. He continued,

"As for why I believe Her Highness did not betray me."

"It's simple... You have evaluated for so many years. We humans, or to be precise, Zhao Ji and I, are likely your last opportunity."

"The 'Heavenly God Trial' stopped for so many years and suddenly reopened, breaking the monopoly of 'Divine King' combat power over 'Heavenly God.'"

"In such circumstances, the alliance of the four Divine Kings is inevitable."

"And once the four Divine Kings join forces, their cooperation reached in the morning could lead to 'Crimson Territory' being bloodwashed by the afternoon."

"The four Divine Kings will not tolerate having an uncertainty like you on their turf."

"Moreover... all these years, the wealth accumulated by Crimson Territory and the resources left by your father should have long been eyed by them."

"Therefore, for revenge and self-preservation, you need to find strong external support."

"As for me..." Upon saying this, Qiu Tu pointed at himself, "along with Zhao Ji. You are the external support you desire most."

"After all, with both of us surpassing level combat capabilities, it's easiest to form a faction with three Heavenly God-level combat powers."

"Thus... you can't hand me over, nor can you be intimidated into being a coward by the four Divine Kings."

"After all... you know better than anyone that you can't afford to be a coward."

"After killing me and Zhao Ji, you will most likely be their next target..."

"There is no room for negotiation. They won't spare you."

After Qiu Tu's discourse, the entire small banquet hall suddenly became silent.

Moments later, Doris's face, previously expressionless, suddenly blossomed into a stunning smile. She extended both hands, gently clapped, and praised sincerely, "Seeing is believing. I heard before that Speaker Qiu is exceptionally intelligent, today I truly witnessed it."

At this point, Doris even had the leisure to crack a joke. Her beautiful eyes looked at Qiu Tu languidly and said, "I wonder if such a clever person's children would taste particularly sweet, would they be able to replenish one's brain~~"

Qiu Tu: ....

Qiu Tu truly cooperated with someone able to make innuendoes in any scenario.

Perhaps seeing Qiu Tu at a loss, Doris laughed delightedly.

After laughing, she also looked at Qiu Tu and candidly said, "You're right, Speaker Qiu. You guessed correctly."

"I indeed did not betray you, nor do I plan to hand you over to the four Divine Kings."

Upon saying this, her eyes turned cold as well, "Those who stole their way to divine positions, asking for trivials."

"Do they truly think 'Crimson Territory' is a pushover?"

After speaking, Doris changed her tone and then smiled, "Of course... Compared to the four Divine Countries, 'Crimson Territory' is indeed a pushover."

"Thus, I can't simply agree to whatever they say. Wouldn't that just expose I am all show and no substance."

"Then it'd be even easier for them to manipulate."

Upon hearing Doris's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile slowly.

One has to admit that cooperating with clever people is genuinely comfortable. Because what you are able to think of, the opposite party is likely to have thought of too.

Everything can be pushed forward according to the plan without worrying about someone acting foolishly and affecting everything.

After all...sometimes, stupidity can be more dangerous than evil.

And after several trials tonight, Qiu Tu and Doris both confirmed that each other was the partner they sought.

This also brought their relationship far closer...

Thus, they finished the meal.

Both of them came to the rooftop garden of the castle.

The night breeze gently blew, sweeping against Doris's red split long dress, making her appear like a dark elf in the night.
