Speaker, you've invested a lot in Liu Ning in the past, and now it's time to recoup your investment all at once. Kong Erlengzi looked at himself and compared to others, he felt like a parasite who had never increased his own strength, while others had already become city councilors.
Central base city.
The Second Speaker did nothing else today, quietly watching Liu Ning's inauguration ceremony from his home. For the Second Speaker, such a thing was nothing special; countless people were inaugurated as city councilors every day. He had never seen the Speaker attend such ceremonies before, so today's situation was rather unusual. Even the servants at home felt strange, as the Speaker always seemed to be all smiles. What happy event had occurred?
To be honest, Liu Ning has already taken sides several times. If it were anyone else, His Excellency the Speaker would have kicked them out of his ranks long ago. Such a person is fickle and opportunistic. Even if you brought such a person over, it wouldn't be of much use. But His Excellency the Speaker didn't do that because he values talent. In this selection competition, Liu Ning's strength was completely different from the others.
"Renault, take care of your matter as soon as possible. Have someone handle things properly here. You don't need to stay here and keep an eye on things. Go to this base city immediately and have a good talk with this kid. Explain our situation to him. From now on, this kid is one of our members. If he still wants his freedom, let him face the Mage Guild himself. If he understands, things will be much easier from now on. Get to work on this immediately. Invincible is going to become the city lord, but his position will be given to this kid. This is also a foundation for us to take over this base city."
Speaker, you've invested a lot in Liu Ning in the past, and now it's time to recoup your investment all at once. If Liu Ning is reasonable, many things can be resolved easily. But if this kid continues to be undisciplined and carefree, then I'm afraid Speaker won't be willing. After all, it's time to recoup the investment. If you still have nothing, others will laugh at you. We don't only have you under us; we have many other people with potential. There's no need to put resources on you. Although you have great potential, if you don't follow orders, then there's no need to waste time with you.
“Speaker, I think you’ve been far too lenient with this kid. We’ve seen capable people before, like Zhao Wudi back then, and we didn’t make such a big concession. Now this kid is on the edge of a cliff. If we hadn’t stopped him, the Mage Guild would have taken care of him long ago. Would we have needed to threaten him? We should give him a firm order to make him understand the rules of conduct from now on. We can’t expect him to consult us on everything from now on, can we?”
Renault knew a lot about Liu Ning and was well aware that the boy was difficult to manage, so he felt that severe punishment was necessary. If the boy behaved, things would be easier. However, if he maintained his old attitude, they might as well teach him a lesson. The Mage Guild was still watching closely; if they made him suffer, he would probably understand his choice.
"Don't make decisions on your own. Just do as I tell you. Don't think this kid is mediocre. If I'm not mistaken, his future achievements will be no less than Invincible's. I think he might become a speaker, and at that time, he could very well be the number two in our faction. He might even still be your boss after I'm gone. So think things through. Of course, we can use orders to deal with mediocre people, but it's best to reason with such a genius. Don't provoke his resentment; it won't do us any good. Do you understand what I mean?"
The Second Speaker stroked his beard and said, "For the Second Speaker, this matter is no joke. If we force Liu Ning to leave, all our previous efforts will be wasted. Liu Ning has always been unruly. Although we've helped him a lot, he might not listen to us. We can ask him to repay the favor, but it's probably impossible to get him to obey orders like everyone else. So we need to discuss this with him. It's much better to become friends than enemies, especially since we've invested so much in him."
“Understood, Your Majesty. I will depart immediately. However, I have a few more words to say. This young man is different from others. Others are also arrogant, but when they see all of us, they immediately understand how to choose. But when this young man interacted with me last time, he was neither humble nor arrogant. Therefore, if Your Majesty wants to subdue this young man, it may take more time and even more effort.”
Renault was just adding his own words to avoid upsetting the Speaker later. The Second Speaker understood Renault's words perfectly well. With great power comes great temper. He had met many people over the years, including quite a few like Liu Ning, so spending more time was worthwhile. Once this guy had grown up, there would be even more to do, and some tricky tasks could be assigned to him. Then they would know whether their investment was worthwhile. Therefore, the Second Speaker had plenty of patience.
While things were going well for the Second Speaker, Kong Erlengzi's situation was quite different. He locked himself in his room and smashed almost anything that could be broken. He couldn't understand how Liu Ning, just an ordinary person with no connections or background, could win so many times. First, it was him; then it was the fake Second Young Master; and later, it became a magician. The people and organizations his guild offended were increasingly powerful, but what did it all amount to? They originally thought this kid would die several times over, but who knew he would survive so tenaciously? This surprised them greatly; they really didn't know just how powerful this kid was.
