At first glance, the two of them looked very relaxed. They did not look like one who had just lost his father and brother by murder, and the other did not look like he had just suffered his first major setback in his life.
After the dishes were delivered and Diana confirmed that the area was safe, Lei Luoâs expression became slightly more serious.
âWhat exactly happened?â
âEverything was instigated by Strachey. From the beginning to the end, I had no idea.â
As if he was afraid that Lei Luo would not believe him, Ulysses continued.
âLetâs not talk about other things first. I think that with your intelligence, you should be able to find out what kind of relationship Karman and I have. Our relationship is bad. It was long before we met. It was definitely not a disguise. Even if I wanted to do something to you, I would definitely not trust Karman to execute itâŠâ
âYouâve misunderstood.â
After Ulyssesâwords came to an end, he said,
âIâm not talking about this. If things have developed to this point, and I still donât know who the real mastermind behind the incident at Holy City of Beauty is, then Iâd be too stupid. So, you donât need to waste your time explaining anything to me.â
âOh, thatâs good.â Ulysses first let out a sigh of relief and said to Lei Luo, âThis is what I like about you the most. Youâre always so direct, simple, but just right.â
âWeâll spend a lot of time in the future to praise and connect with each other. For now, letâs talk about something practical.â
Lei Luo clicked his tongue and looked up at Ulysses.
âIs there a connection between the death of your father and your brother?â
Ulysses hesitated for a moment before finally saying, âEverything was done by my teacher.â
Ulyssesâ way of addressing Strachey made Lei Luo feel slightly surprised.

âEven now, you still call him your teacher?â
Ulysses raised his head and glanced at Lei Luo, revealing a bitter smile.
âCalling your enemy who killed your father and brother your teacher is a little unbelievable, isnât it? But to me, itâs nothing special.â
Saying this, Ulysses sighed with some emotion.
âHow many nights have I dreamed that my father and my brother could die like today. And every time I wake up from such a dream, I feel both excited and disappointedâŠ.Excited that I had such a beautiful dream, but when I do realize that itâs just that, I then ask, âwhy did it only happen in a dream?ââ
Ulysses turned his head and looked at Lei Luo with a smile. âDoesnât it sound a little creepy?â
âNot really. Iâve never had a family since I was young. So, I canât talk about love or hate. I canât completely imagine how you feel. However, I can somewhat understand the pressure youâre under from your father and brother. No one likes someone who wants to kill himself like your brother. No one likes someone who plays with their own fate like your father, and thereâs no pattern at all.â
At this point, Lei Luo paused.
âHowever, there is one thing I would like to confirm. is your judgment based on your intuition or some concrete evidence?â
âBoth,â Ulysses replied.
âOnly my master has the authority to take the medicine without going through the pharmacist.â
âIf thatâs the caseâŠâ Lei Luoâs chopsticks shook slightly in his hand. âWhy did you come to find me? Your father and your brother, the two people who caused you trouble, were all eliminated by your teacher. Because of your brotherâs death, some of your brothers will also have covetous thoughts towards the throne, but as long as you cooperate with your teacher, the throne will be yours sooner or later.â
âYes.â Ulysses nodded. âMy teacher promised to make me the crown prince.â
Lei Luoâs expression froze. After a while, he asked, âMake you the crown prince? You meanâŠâ
âYes. My teacher has already told me publicly that he intends to usurp the throne of Beichen.â Ulysses nodded affirmatively.
âHow is this possible?â Lei Luo shook his head in disbelief.
âHow can the other dukes just sit back and watch this happen?â
âDo you still remember that I once told you a piece of information which I said was very crucial?â Ulysses asked.
Lei Luo turned his head. âWhich one are you talking about?â
Ulysses replied, âKalasao was killed by the rebel army because of the magic conductor rebellion.â
Lei Luo nodded. âI remember. Is this information related to the matter we are talking about?â
âOf course. After Kalasao died, the throne fell into the hands of a retard. His more than 100 sons were either killed, fled, or chose to submit.â
Ulyssesâs words made Lei Luoâs mouth open slightly. âYou mean⊠the king has fallen into the control of a powerful minister?â
âIsnât it obvious?â Ulysses spread his hands.
Speaking up to this point, Ulysses leaned closer and said to Lei Luo, âThereâs another thing thatâs the scariest. Itâs also the thing that made me decide to come and find you.â
âPapafilin specially wrote a letter to my teacher, inviting my teacher to discuss the secret alliance with him.â
âGodâŠâ Lei Luo was completely dumbfounded. He shook his head speechlessly.
âSo, Papafilin has already admitted to your teacherâs usurpation?â
âThe matter wonât be so pure.â
Ulysses smiled coldly and shook his head.
âIn my opinion, my teacherâs relationship with Papafilin is definitely not a one-or two-day relationship.â
Lei Luo thought about it and agreed, so he asked again, âHow did you know about this?â
Ulysses looked out of the window. âDiana found a way to get the information from one of my teacherâs confidants.â
Lei Luo followed Ulysses and looked out. Seeing Dianaâs back reflected on the door, he knew very well what Ulysses meant by âa way.â
But at the same time, Lei Luo instinctively felt a little uncomfortable about Ulysses using Diana to do such a thing.
As if he had seen through Lei Luoâs thoughts, Ulysses explained with a smile, âThings are not as dirty as you think. There is no need to degenerate to the point of using physical means to seduce a person.â
âPapafilin, the strongest of the 12 dukes, and Strachey, who is about to usurp the throne of BeichenâŠDoes Papafilin want to regain the throne of Emperor Victor?â
As Lei Luo said this, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Ulysses and asked, âI want to ask you, why didnât the senate do anything when the Doomsday Dusk destroyed the East God? Was it Papafilin who helped the Doomsday Dusk settle the higher-ups?â
Lei Luo originally thought that Ulysses would answer that he didnât know, or that it was, but he didnât expect Ulysses to answer with a no.
Lei Luo was very surprised. âIf it wasnât Papafilin, then who was it?â
