Hero of heart The amazing son in law complete
Chapter 7430
Victoria knows very well that all members of the Wu family have their own selfish motives.
The Wu family was divided into five branches, each in charge of one of the five military governorates. This structure was established by Victoria herself, similar to the five titled princes.
Even though they were all subordinates of the emperor, they would certainly not put the emperor’s orders above their own personal interests.
Therefore, the Five Military Commands may not actually be putting all their efforts into searching for Maria Lin.
As far as the Five Military Commandos were concerned, they didn’t really care about Maria Lin’s whereabouts or whether she was alive or dead.
Even though they were all Victoria’s juniors and owed everything they had today to her, they knew very well that their good lives were actually built on the foundation of the Five Military Commands.
As long as the Five Military Commandos still existed, even if Victoria died, the Wu family could still live in luxury.
On the contrary, Victoria would be a greater threat to the Wu family if she were still alive, as she acts without regard for cost or consequences, and the Wu family could easily be swayed by her whims.
What Maria Lin was concerned about was Victoria’s life or death, but if Victoria died, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for the Wu family.
If there is no emperor above the Five Military Commands, then each Supreme Commander of the Five Military Commands will be an emperor.
Victoria understood this principle; didn’t the Wu family care much about her life or death?
Well, then let these heads of families also feel what it means to live eternally.
Wu Tianlin knew Victoria’s intentions, so he respectfully said, “This subordinate will convey the Emperor’s verbal decree to the five Grand Commanders.”
Victoria frowned slightly and said, “Tell the three elders that I have something to tell them.”
Wu Tianlin was surprised, but didn’t dare ask any further questions. He immediately said respectfully, “Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go and inform the three elders.”
More than ten minutes later, the three old men, all nearly two hundred years old, walked together outside the Victoria Palace.
The head elder, Wu Bolin, respectfully said, “Your Majesty, your subordinate Bolin, along with Bowen and Bozhong, request an audience.”
“Please come in,” Victoria said calmly.
The three of them immediately pushed the door open and entered, slowly approaching Victoria and bowing respectfully: “Greetings, Your Majesty!”
Victoria nodded slightly and said, “I invited the three elders here today because there are some things I need to discuss with you.”
Wu Bolin immediately said respectfully, “Your Majesty, please give your orders!”
Victoria glanced at the three of them and said, “I have sent Tianlin to convey an order that anyone who captures Maria Lin in the entire Warriors Den Society will be rewarded with countless gold and silver, and her entire family will gain an additional hundred years of life.”
“However, given the three elders’ current strength, unless I find the Evergreen Pill or help you open the Niwan Palace, I, Victoria, am unable to add a hundred years to your lifespan. Therefore, the three elders need not worry about this matter.”
The three of them exchanged glances, none of them understanding what Victoria meant.
If we don’t want them to bother, then why call them here to say all this?
Furthermore, when the time came for the Niwan Palace to open, all three of them felt a sense of unease. After all, they had been in seclusion for a hundred years, and if they steeled their resolve and persevered for another ten years, they might be able to open the Niwan Palaces one by one. Once the Niwan Palaces were opened, their lifespans would exceed two hundred years, or even exceed two hundred years.
But Victoria disrupted all of this. Once that momentum is broken, it will take more than ten years to catch up. It’s usually another ten or twenty years lost.
Wu Bolin reacted even faster. He didn’t dare to think too much. He simply stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and cupped his hands, saying, “Your Majesty’s subjects have never asked for anything in return for serving Your Majesty.”
“As long as Your Majesty gives the order, the three of us will go through fire and water without hesitation. How could we care about profit or loss?”
“We humbly request His Majesty to give the order that the three of us be allowed to leave this island and search for Maria Lin’s whereabouts!”
The other two then realized what was happening.
It seems I’ve been silenced for too long and my brain isn’t functioning properly anymore. If I don’t say anything or refuse when my boss says he can’t offer a satisfactory price, I’m afraid I’ll offend him.
When a boss says he can’t afford the price he wants, the right approach is to flatter him and immediately state that you work for him not for the money, but to do the job even without pay, and without any discount.
So the two of them quickly expressed their support, saying in unison, “We are only willing to serve our master without regard for personal gain or loss. We hope our master will allow the three of us to leave this island!”
Victoria snorted softly, nodded with a faint smile, and said, “You just have the will. Capturing that little fox Maria Lin requires skill, not physical strength. Sending you there would be a waste of your talents.”
Wu Bolin was quick-witted. After hearing Victoria’s words, he roughly guessed that Victoria must have something else to tell the three of them.
So he immediately asked respectfully, “Is there anything else we can do to ease the burden on our wise ruler?”
Victoria agreed, and said, “Over the years, the amount of spiritual stones and pills consumed in cultivation has been enormous, and the loss of rare and precious materials is a bottomless pit.”
“I want to use this time to gather some essential materials to prepare for future needs. However, many of these materials are unavailable to ordinary people, so I hope the three elders can go and explore and see if they can find anything.”
“If you find a spirit stone, I won’t interfere in principle. If you find a magic weapon, you can keep it for yourself.”
“However, those rare alchemy ingredients are useless to you. Bring them back to me, and after I refine them into pills, I can give each of you half.”
There are many treasures in this world that are difficult to obtain for those who do not have sufficient cultivation level, especially rare and exotic animals that have never been visited or seen by ordinary people.
If one finds an ancient formation left behind by a cultivator before his death and destroys it, he might obtain an extraordinary opportunity.
However, Victoria was naturally suspicious, and considering the immense wealth of the Warriors’ Den, she didn’t dare venture out alone to seek opportunities. Therefore, she planned to send the three elders to seek them on her behalf.
He didn’t really care about magical artifacts or spirit stones; what he really cared about were the formulas and raw materials for high-level pills.
He had never taught any of the Wu family members alchemy, so even if the three elders obtained the formula and ingredients, they wouldn’t be able to refine it. Therefore, as long as they could find these ingredients and bring them back, they could refine a large number of pills themselves.
In his heart, he knew that if he didn’t get the Hundred Turns and Thousand Returns Pill soon, he would definitely go crazy for the next hundred years. He had to make the descendant of the Wu family go crazy with him, otherwise, the Qing Shattering Society would definitely fall out with him.
Driving the Wu family insane wasn’t difficult; they already had money and status. The only thing that could control them was their age.
If the pills were available in large quantities, the current leadership of the Wu family could be removed, their loyalty would remain unwavering, and they could enjoy power and the peak of life for decades to come. They would surely be addicted to them endlessly.
This was a decades-long plan to breed poisonous insects. Decades later, when the Wu family leaders of the Five Armies Commandery were all over a hundred years old, their dependence on him would only increase, because if he were in trouble or if he cut off their supply of medicinal herbs, they would surely die.
In this way, they will face the same situation as themselves.
If I can’t survive, I’ll turn this world upside down.
Even if they can’t survive, they will definitely be willing to go crazy with me!
