My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1960: Shining New Star
This bastard, it’s obviously intentional, why pause in front of her, making her think he was coming to shake her hand, now she’s left with her hand out, unable to retreat, looking overly eager, it’s infuriating.
Ling Kong smiled and greeted Mrs. Fengye, introducing himself, but inadvertently glanced at Jun Yiyi’s embarrassed face, a malicious smile curving at his lips.
"Ah, the son of Grand Councilman Helian, you’ve been quite the notable figure lately. Even I’ve consistently heard people praise your name. You achieved great merit in the recent war, hastening the end of the internal conflict in Yalan Country, attracting worldwide attention. To be so formidable at such a young age is truly remarkable, Grand Councilman Helian must be quite at ease retiring!" Fengye Ningyuan spoke with a polite smile, his deep gaze evaluating the young, elegant man before him.
This young man, he had long heard of him, of distinguished status, the adopted son of Halian Jing, the most powerful figure in the Aus Empire.
Initially, he didn’t pay much attention, after all, an adopted son is different from a biological one; Halian Jing might not entrust his career to an adopted outsider.
But recently, the tides have truly changed.
It seems Halian Jing really values this adopted son, and this young man has unexpectedly demonstrated formidable strength, making a name for himself with a single victory in Yalan Country, achieving rare fame and credentials for someone of the younger generation. With this achievement, this young man is likely to swiftly rise in politics, becoming a shining star in the Aus Empire’s political sphere.
He investigated the entire Aus Empire delegation attending the meeting, yet this young man’s background was the vaguest, the least known, with no information before he became Halian Jing’s adopted son.
Such a mysterious figure is more troublesome because it’s impossible to grasp his weaknesses.
And Fengye Ningyuan also suspected whether the recent invasion of the Fengye Family’s military academy was related to the Aus Empire, although other participating countries were also possible, but the biggest suspicion still lay with the Aus Empire.
Therefore, tonight he suddenly decided to host this banquet for two reasons, one of which was to investigate which country’s people invaded the military academy that night.
So he invited all foreign delegations under suspicion to attend.
"General Fengye praises me too much, I am young and inexperienced and still need refinement, as for my father, he’s still strong and has no plans to retire so soon."
"Councilman Helian has been devoted to the nation, being a councilman for so many years, almost retiring, yet still so patriotic, eager to continue serving the country, that’s really hard work!" Fengye Ningyuan’s tone, though admiring, was full of sarcasm, "After all, with advancing age, not like the current younger generation, perhaps it would be better to retire and enjoy one’s later years in peace."
Mocking Halian Jing for holding onto the Grand Councilman’s position for so many years without wanting to let go.
This Halian Jing is the first power in the Aus Empire, controlling the political and economic forces of the entire country, you could say he’s the true king of the Aus Empire. Honestly, though the Aus Empire is a foreign country, he didn’t want this nation, which is constantly competing to the death with the Eagle Country internationally, to always be under Halian Jing’s control.
Because although Halian Jing is somewhat of a dictator, secretly criticized by many for wielding power, he is indeed a very formidable and capable ruler. Under his leadership, the Aus Empire leaped from a medium power to a leading global powerhouse, making them, the great powers, very wary.
In his heart, he hoped fervently for Halian Jing’s early downfall.
