Chapter 17: The Price for Distrust

As much of a fool Qi Chen might have been, he understood the meaning behind Jun Huang’s words. She looked at his eyes, waiting for his response. Indeed, he took the hint. After all, he still wanted her continued help. “If that is all that concerns you, Brother Feng, it’s nothing important. We are brothers. I’ll give the order to split half of my power with you so you can go about your business.”

Jun Huang was quite satisfied by this, but she couldn’t let the prince see that she desperately wanted the power in his hands. She still had to put on a show of refusal and immediately painted a look of surprise on her face. Apprehension blossomed like a flower on her features, “Brother Qi, this won’t do! Will your men even listen to me?”

This question hadn’t come out of nowhere. After all, she wouldn’t able to deploy his men as easily he could. However, she wanted the power in his hands for another reason entirely.

“Since Brother Feng calls me Brother Qi, then don’t be a stranger. What’s mine is yours. If they don’t listen to you, then they are disrespecting me as well.” Qi Chen held Jun Huang’s arm and promised with high spirits.

Jun Huang smiled, secretly satisfied.
