Chapter 460: Confederacy Rebellion - 04

"The point? Ah, yes, listen closely then," Albert said with his British accent, adopting the air of a nobleman addressing a peasant. This further irritated Cao Cao, but he maintained his composure.

"I'm going to introduce you to someone," Albert continued. "He's a mage, not local, but quite influential within the Confederation's magical circles. His word carries significant weight. Once he learns of our lord's involvement, he'll be willing to do almost anything to gain his approval. Don't mess this up, Minister Cao." The emphasis on 'Minister Cao' was a deliberate jab at Cao Cao's authority.

Albert knew that Cao Cao's dream of mainland unification was unfulfilled, and now he was working for their lord. Even though Cao Cao had a lot of authority, at the end of the day, he was still an employee.

If all went well, Albert hoped this would plant a seed of ambition in Cao Cao's mind, driving him to do something reckless. But Albert underestimated Cao Cao's resolve.
