Chapter 4095: No Ordinary Scheme

"The Second Imperial Prince has already received the gift from His Highness," Shadow, the dark guard, said softly, eyes downcast.

Duan Yue leaned by the window, idly flipping through a book, though his eyes never lingered on the pages.

"I'll return to the academy in three days."

Shadow paused. "Is it because of the Heavenly Yuan List finals?"

"But with His Majesty's current health, Your Highness choosing to leave at this time seems... unwise."

At such a crucial juncture, everyone knew it was better to remain in Fengdi City.

Duan Yue frowned. "I have an appointment."

Shadow sighed, knowing he couldn't dissuade him, and said no more.

As a subordinate, one simply follows the master's instructions.

Just then, someone appeared at the window, their figure subtly shifting.

Shadow quickly walked out the door, and in a moment, returned to Duan Yue's side. "Your Highness, news has come from the Second Imperial Prince's side."

"He sent someone to Jiawei City overnight."

Duan Yue blinked, unconsciously flipping a page in his book, and said in a faint voice, "Another attempt to hire assassins?"

Doesn't he have anything more interesting to do? His methods are so utterly crude, it's truly disappointing!

"Your Highness, our people are already keeping an eye on them. Should we..."

Duan Yue casually waved his hand. "No need."

"If it's something that can be solved with money, why bother with such trouble?" he said with a cold expression. "You go and post a mission too."

Shadow listened respectfully, a somewhat strange expression on his face as he left.

In terms of throwing money around, can the Second Imperial Prince really compare to our Highness's wealth?

It's just that His Highness is so cunning, the Second Imperial Prince is probably going to cry.

[Recently, we've been short on dead soldiers. When the people from Jiawei City arrive, you'll lead your men to apprehend them.]

[Whether by forced medication or soul extraction, keep them all for our own use when the time comes.]

[Let these people handle dangerous missions. Don't worry, I have plenty of puppet talismans and such. You just need to be responsible for capturing them.]

[It also saves our own people from going on missions. I'm always worried you're not smart enough and will get scammed to death.]

[It's not easy for me to cultivate you all.]

Heh heh! Shadow's mouth twitched as he walked out, and with a wave of his hand, several figures appeared beside him.

"Do you understand His Highness's instructions? We need them alive!"

"After capture, first confiscate all their assets and gather enough money to post a mission in Jiawei City to protect His Highness."

The most devious part was...

His Highness said that anyone coming from Jiawei City is basically an escaped criminal or an unregistered individual. Regardless of whether they come to kill him or protect him, arrest them all for our use...

Who else's Highness could be so cunning?

This is the rhythm of stirring up trouble!

If the Lord of Jiawei City knew the details, he might just come with a blade to fight His Highness to the death.

His perfectly functioning underworld city suddenly becomes empty, all the assassins swept away. This wasn't even a deliberate lure by others, but rather, heh heh... walking straight into a trap!

Meanwhile, in Fenglei City, Dean Yun received several waves of academy teachers and students one after another.

The Dean listened with a blank expression as a hurried student reported, "Dean, Dean! More people have arrived!"

Yun Piaomiao asked expressionlessly, "Which formidable academy has arrived this time?"

He truly wanted to ask these academy heads if they were simply bored with nothing to do.
