My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1930: No More Than Three Words

The father is highly respected by both elders and juniors within the family because he is a qualified leader who sacrifices personal interests for the sake of the family’s reputation and strength. He is someone who is willing to do anything for the family, dedicating himself entirely, and is naturally respected.

Moreover, he is someone who is willing to promote younger members, striving to cultivate talented individuals in the family, ensuring that the entire family is united and prosperous. He is, without a doubt, an impeccable and excellent family head. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

But Fengye Wuyin really dislikes him.

"Understood, I’ll prepare for it. I won’t let them discover anything about this weapon."

"Hmm." Fengye Ningyuan nodded in satisfaction, "Although your involvement in Yalan Country’s affairs this time was not extensive, your performance was quite good. The fault lies with Yalan Country for choosing the Aus Empire as allies instead of us, their neighbor. But it doesn’t matter, we are involved anyway, and the benefits we should obtain must not be missed. At this conference, we must strongly fight for it. Yalan Country has just ended the war and is weak. Oppressing them leaves them powerless to retaliate."

Fengye Wuyin could see through the situation clearly: "Father intends to obtain the rights to their rare mineral extraction at a low price, doesn’t he? It’s a big chunk of meat, and it’s not just about whether the Aus Empire will let us profit from it."

"Humph, why wouldn’t they? As long as our two countries split it equally, they’ll naturally be happy. The Aus Empire wouldn’t send troops without benefits. They’re not doing charity. Poor Yalan Country, thinking that driving away the eagle has brought in a wolf. Truly foolish."

Fengye Ningyuan showed a disdainful expression. For weak countries and weak people, he never had any sympathy.

If a country can’t protect itself with its own strength, isn’t it only natural that it’s invaded and oppressed by other countries? This world has always been a jungle game. The rule is that the strong seize the most resources. No matter how much civilization progresses, as long as there’s human desire, war will never cease.

Besides, don’t blame him. Now that the world is developing so rapidly, resource shortages are a headache for every country. Despite efforts to develop various alternative renewable resources, it’s still not enough.

Though no one says it, every country covets other nations’ abundant resources; they’re just waiting for an excuse to seize them.

This war in Yalan Country is merely orchestrated by these powerful nations both overtly and covertly to share the spoils.

"Foolish? Indeed, foolish." Fengye Wuyin smirked oddly, wondering if this man who finds others foolish realizes the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole waits behind, thinking it’s the winner, unaware that a hunter is also lurking.

Does that mean the hunter is the ultimate winner? Not necessarily, as there’s always someone more powerful out there; everyone is part of the cycle in the food chain.

"By the way, I heard you brought back a black-haired girl, and the family checked her out and seemed satisfied." Fengye Ningyuan suddenly brought up this topic.

Fengye Wuyin hesitated, hiding his playful demeanor, feigning indifference: "There is such a thing, but she’s not as magical as everyone says. She’s just an ordinary refugee from Yalan Country, low in status, apart from a bit of beauty, she has nothing else going for her, and is rather troublesome. Father wouldn’t be interested in a girl of such status, would he?"

Fengye Ningyuan laughed, looking up and down at her: "Is she truly so ordinary? Your remarks on women rarely exceed three words."
