Let them offer their loyalty!

Hearing these words from his old superior and old rival, Qiu Tu was stunned for a second, then quickly thought and responded with a deliberate smile, "Old superior, you are even unwilling to call me Garrison commander."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yan Chen chuckled and then said, "Does that matter?"

"If I call you Garrison commander, do you think it can change the relationship between us?"

Hearing Yan Chen's response, Qiu Tu's brows furrowed slightly, his gaze wavering a bit.

Tonight, Yan Chen is a bit... different.

Most simply put... too direct and frank. This is completely different from his usual crafty and insidious habit of speaking one line and hiding three meanings...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but glance at the incoming call number on the landline.

It was a completely unfamiliar number. Not from Yan Chen's office, nor was it Yan Chen's.

This indicates that, for this call, Yan Chen prepared a special number to directly call Qiu Tu's office via a dedicated line.

'Interesting... interesting...'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu was also somewhat curious about what medicine Yan Chen was selling in his gourd.

He chuckled softly, then opened his mouth and said, "Old superior, you are right."

"Calling me Garrison commander indeed can't change the relationship you have cultivated with me to this day."

"In that case, let's meet and talk."

Half an hour later, Qiu Tu met Yan Chen at his own villa.

Yan Chen was still the same as before, his face wrinkled like dried bark, so old it seemed he could be buried at any second.

However, Qiu Tu indeed did not underestimate this man in front of him.

You have to know, this man had lain dormant for years, rising against the odds, scheming against the Evil God, and almost soaring to the top!

Sometimes, Qiu Tu also wondered, if it weren't for himself, what might be Yan Chen's trajectory?

Qiu Tu thought that Yan Chen's plan to devour Larilo would most likely succeed, and thereafter, he could very well become Deputy Speaker of Dongye State with his Fourth Order strength and the merit of slaying the Evil God.

After becoming the Deputy Speaker of Dongye State, because Huang Shangzong was a "same faction" Speaker, he would most likely become Huang Shangzong's right-hand man.

His power in Dongye State would also expand rapidly.

He could manage it for two or three years like this.

Huang Shangzong would most likely continue to propose the "New State Expansion Plan."

Considering Yan Chen's ability, coupled with being Huang Shangzong's right-hand man, it wouldn't be difficult for him to carve out a substantial piece from this grand feast.

And when the New State is established, even though Yan Chen might not become the Speaker, becoming a "Senior Deputy Speaker" and taking a position as a Supreme Sanctuary Council Candidate wouldn't be hard.

What's left is waiting for opportunities and enduring for experience. With Yan Chen's Cataclysmic ability to "survive" to the extreme and his mature and steady character, his lifespan must be the longest of his generation.

So... Qiu Tu just simply deduced that, without his influence, if Yan Chen developed according to a normal trajectory.

At the very least, he would be in the upper echelons of the Sanctuary (Supreme Council Member). He'd most likely secure a Senior Frontier Official position. Even if the opportunity is right, eventually outliving everyone, becoming a faction leader, even controlling the Central Hub, is not impossible.

After all... historically, "living long" has always been politics' greatest talent.

Therefore, Qiu Tu has never underestimated the man in front of him, even though he has left Yan Chen far behind.

Because no one knows if such a high-level strategist might make a comeback and pull out some hidden card.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu smiled and gestured to the sofa opposite Yan Chen, then said, "Chairman Yan, please sit."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yan Chen nodded slightly, then walked over to sit opposite Qiu Tu.

Once Yan Chen was seated, Qiu Tu

Yan Chen lifted his wrinkled face, his droopy eyelids opening slightly, looked at Qiu Tu, and said directly, "Qiu Tu...."

----------

Earlier, when he kissed Larilo, Qiu Tu realized that Evil Gods... seemed a bit different from ordinary humans.

Their lips and bodies seemed softer? More supple? With a higher temperature?

So, even a simple trick like this gave Qiu Tu a sense of extreme enjoyment.

'Is this the taste of an Evil God?'

'Not bad at all!'

Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu waking up, Larilo started moving more vigorously.

And so, very soon, Qiu Tu surrendered directly, foaming at the mouth.

After the first battle concluded, Qiu Tu wanted to have a good chat with Larilo and ask her why she returned.

But who would have thought that, before he could speak, in the next second, Larilo treated him with a new caress: using her white, tender bosom to comfort Qiu Tu's brother.

Qiu Tu was confused for a moment, instinctively sensing something was off.

But..... Larilo gave him no chance to explain or resist, directly forcing a premature awakening of Qiu Tu's brother.

To be honest, men, as creatures, are really big-headed sons and small-headed dads.

So Qiu Tu did indeed want to have some ambition, but... some things really can't be solved with ambition alone.

So... in the end, Qiu Tu lay on his back on the bed, silently comforting himself in his heart, 'Fine, fine, it's all about indulging oneself anyway.'

'Even if she's a bit excessive, so what? It's fine as long as she's willing to go to lengths for me.'

And so, a night of absurdity passed.

----------

Then, while he was thinking this, Fang Tangtang shyly covered her face, then untied the sash at her waist.

In the next second, the bathrobe slipped off, revealing a body as if carved from white jade, delicately sculpted in front of Qiu Tu.
