Chapter 751: Chapter 376 Open and Secret Struggles (5-in-1)_5
Su Ming curiously asked.
“I indeed used to not contend, but ever since my eighth brother, who clearly declared not to contend, accidentally fell down the stairs and died, and my son’s near-death incident afterward, I have no choice but to contend.”
“I see.”
“Therefore, I request Mr. Su Ming to introduce me to a reliable lord; there will be a generous reward once the matter is accomplished.”
Omid said to Su Ming.
“Okay, wait here for me, I’ll report back to that lord.”
Su Ming immediately stood up and said.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! As long as he connects the two lines, the matter will be accomplished; it’s really too easy.
“Thank you very much.”
Omid replied gratefully.
“You’re welcome.”
Su Ming promptly turned and left.
After a long time, Su Ming hurried back to the Twin Hotel and walked straight towards the room of Vice City Lord Okens.
When he reached the entrance of Vice City Lord Okens’ room, two security officers extended their hands to stop Su Ming and said.
“General!”
“I need to see Lord Okens.”
“Sorry, General, Lord Okens is not here.”
“Not here? Where did he go?”
Su Ming’s brows furrowed immediately, a very bad premonition lingered in his heart.
“We can’t tell you that.”
The two officers shook their heads and replied.
Just as Su Ming was feeling distressed, Admiral Taite happened to walk over and asked in confusion.
“Su Ming, what are you doing here?”
“General, I have urgent affairs that require seeing Lord Okens, but they say Lord Okens is not here.”
“That’s right, he’s indeed not here. Not long ago, the Third Prince Merit dispatched a trusted aide to invite City Lord Okens and Commander Alekde for a meeting.”
Admiral Taite explained to Su Ming.
“This is not good! Admiral Taite, do you have Lord Okens’ contact information?”
Upon hearing Admiral Taite’s words, Su Ming’s facial expression slightly changed; is this the rhythm of getting intercepted?
“I do!”
“Could you please give it to me?”
“Sure!”
Admiral Taite immediately sent the contact information of Vice City Lord Okens to Su Ming.
Su Ming then began to compose a message.

In the tea room with an ancient style, elegant and quiet.
On the tea table, crafted from ebony wood, as dark as night, with fine texture.
Prince Merit wore a loose robe and elegantly poured two cups of clear tea from an exquisite purple clay teapot, handing one cup to Alekde, and another to Okens.
“This is my treasured Snow Tea, please have a taste, distinguished lords.”
Alekde and Okens took a sip and nodded slightly, saying.
“Nice!”
“Don’t laugh at me, esteemed lords, but since childhood, I’ve always been fascinated by the Federation, but I’ve never had the chance to visit.”
Prince Merit said with a smile.
“Prince Merit, after this grand ceremony, you’re welcome to visit the Federation at any time.”
Okens replied politely.
“In that case, I might trouble you both then.”
Prince Merit looked at Vice City Lord Okens with a bright smile.
“No problem.”
Okens responded calmly.
At this moment, Okens’ wristband suddenly vibrated, and a message popped up.
He glanced down at it, then sent Su Ming an address. Afterwards, he gently tipped the teacup on the tea tray sideways, and said apologetically to Merit.
“Apologies, Prince Merit, I suddenly have some urgent matters to attend to.”
“Lord Okens, you’ve just arrived and haven’t even had a few cups of tea yet. Won’t you stay a little longer?”
Merit smiled broadly and urged him to stay.
“It’s just that some urgent issues have arisen at home that require my attention. Let Commander Alekde keep you company and enjoy the tea slowly.”
Okens replied with a smile.
Prince Merit’s eyes flickered momentarily, then he smiled and said.
“Alright then, take care.”
“Excuse me.”
Okens nodded slightly, then stood up and turned to leave.
Soon, only Prince Merit and Commander Alekde were left in the tea room.
At this point, Prince Merit suddenly showed a brilliant smile and said to Commander Alekde.
“Lord Alekde, now that there are no outsiders here, it’s just you and me. You’ve been stationed in the Bright Star Sea for so many years, you know the situation here better than anyone, so I won’t be courteous.”
Alekde, hearing Merit’s words, furrowed his brows and said.
“Speak!”
“I want the Federation to fully support my claim to the Crown Prince and ascending the throne!”
Merit straightforwardly stated.
“If I recall correctly, haven’t you already gained the support of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country? Are you planning to switch allegiance?”
Alekde looked at Merit and asked frankly.
“That’s right, as the saying goes, man seeks higher ground, water flows downward! Although the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country is strong, how can it compare to the Federation?”
Merit candidly laid out his cards.
“That’s true, but what kind of offer can you present?”
Alekde’s expression shifted, speaking coldly.
“As long as you can ensure the Federation fully supports my ascent to the throne, not only can I guarantee all existing interests of the Federation, but I can also offer an additional 10%, provided to you personally, Commander, and grant you great conveniences!”
Merit directly promised Alekde.
Alekde, hearing Merit’s words, felt his heart surge like turbulent waves.
He has seen all kinds of hardships and temptations throughout his life.
Yet the benefits this guy promised were quite shocking, these were frontline-level benefits, Commander Alekde has never seen so much money in his life.
Merit, observing Alekde’s fluctuating expression, knew he was tempted and continued speaking.
