Era Of Castles: Starting With 99 Dragon Eggs

The man shook his head and said,

"That's not it. There's a big difference. If Mike killed Rick because of that, then there's naturally no way to reconcile this matter. When we saw Mike, we wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Now, Rick's death is because of his own stupidity, not because we're on the opposite side of Mike. Then, things can still turn around. At least, this means that Mike doesn't have to stand with the others at the moment to help that person. The Person In Power is only sending an Overturning Order. It's not worth Mike giving him such a big pledge of Allegiance."

The young man was not a fool. He naturally understood what the man meant. He immediately asked, "Are you saying that we can still rope in Mike?"

The man nodded and said, "Not only can we rope in Mike, but we can also even use Mike to make a big story. This is not something that can be done in a short period of time. In short, we just don't make a move against Mike."

The young man completely calmed down. He looked at the man and said, "I'm grateful for your advice. If it weren't for you, I would have made a big mistake today."

The young man who was called the Prince nodded and said, "As a subordinate, I shouldn't say anything. As a friend, Your Highness, you should change your impulsive behavior."

The young man frowned, but then he relaxed and said, "I must change my behavior."

...

In another room across the valley, Luke sat at a table with the Person In Power, analyzing what had happened today.

Person In Power asked, "What do you think of Mike's behavior today?"

Luke had long expected Person In Power to ask this question, so he said, "Isn't it obvious? Mike killed Rick and announced to the other heirs of the Dark Continent that he is officially on our side."

Person In Power shook his head and said, "Do you think that a piece of Overturning Order will have such a great effect?"

Luke was instantly stopped by the question. He shook his head. He actually knew that for people like Mike, the effect of a piece of Overturning Order was actually not much different from a copper coin. He was not the kind of person that would offend another group of people for his own group of people.

He covered his head and wailed, "Is this the world of geniuses? Then why is he like this?"

Person In Power said, "It's all because that Rick is too stupid. If he faces Mike with that attitude, isn't it obvious that he has put Mike on the opposite side of them? What a stupid pig!"

"Actually, we should be happy. If the subordinates of the Seventeenth Prince are all like this, then why should we be worried that he will threaten the position of the heir of the fifteenth Dark Continent?"

Person In Power shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think. The Seventeenth Prince is ruthless, cruel, and bloodthirsty. Most importantly, he is not a fool. In order to not be eliminated by him, we must first kill him!"

He looked at the distant sky and felt that he had been extremely unlucky recently.

Mike and the others had already left. They sat on the back of the huge flying magical beast and chatted with each other.

Tucker sat over and asked, "I want to ask you a question. I don't know if you can help me answer it."

Mike smiled at him. "Just say it."

Tucker took a glance at Demoness, and Demoness tactfully walked away.

Tucker's eyes suddenly became fierce. He asked, "What do you think about the struggle for power and benefits between the heirs of the Dark Continent?"

Mike recalled the way Nordick had treated him in the Otherworld.

Mike shook hake his head with a wry smile. He said, "If it's possible, I'd rather never get involved in this kind of thing, even if it would bring me great benefits."

Tucker's eyes flashed. He asked, "So you're already involved in this kind of thing?"

Mike looked at Tucker in surprise and asked, "Why do you ask? Do you have a unique understanding of this kind of thing, or have you already supported one of the Dark Continent's heirs?"

Tucker smiled and said, "No, I'm just curious about your recent performance. I hope that you won't think too much about it. I don't want to be investigated by the three old men in secret."

Mike looked at Tucker meaningfully, nodded, and said, "I know. However, as a generation of revolutionaries, it's better for us to not get involved in this kind of power struggle."

Tucker looked at Mike in surprise. He nodded and said, "I will keep this in mind, but I also want to remind brother Mike that although you want to get rid of this kind of thing, some people won't easily give up on you."

A cold light flashed in Mike's eyes as he said, "If someone won't let me go, then I'll have to get rid of him."

Tucker's expression did not change as he said, "Mike, take care of yourself."

After saying that, Tucker turned around and left, leaving Mike, who was frowning on the spot.

Demoness walked over. She looked at Mike and asked, "What's wrong? Did you offend Senior Brother Tucker? He doesn't look too good."

Mike shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Tucker was sick and came to me to ask for some medicine. I told him that I'm not a doctor and that the medicine I prescribed would kill him, so he left."

Demoness was a little confused, so she simply did not ask any more questions and turned around.

As soon as Mike returned to the academy, he pushed all the teaching tasks to Demoness. He hid in his residence and announced to the public that he was in closed-door cultivation to recover and temporarily did not care about the affairs of the world.

 When Jean heard this news, he was so angry that he smashed the tea set on the table into pieces. Meanwhile, the successor of the seventeenth Dark Continent and the others were completely relieved and no longer worried about whose side Mike was on.

Mike somewhat understood why there was a question on that side. Even the number one genius of the Dark Church like Tucker did not dare to openly announce which side he supported, but he actually did it. By doing so, not only did it make him face a choice sooner or later, but it also tied the academy to him. In the future, the decisions he made would represent the academy's decisions. Unless the Academy kicked him out and ordered them to chase him down. Otherwise, his words would be the academy's words.. The academy's attitude towards this matter would be tied to him.
