Bab 35: Another kingdom part 1

During the times when he traveled all over the world wanting to do business, Han met many people. One of those was old Daisheng Yuxun, he is a noble from the Yuxuan Kingdom. Daisheng's family was in decline. They hadn't made any major contributions to the Kingdom for a long time, business was weak and they were a family that would lose their position as one of the main ones.

Unlike Quimn, which was divided between dukes and counts, the kingdom of Yuxuan was divided by royal families. The founder did not trust people who were not of his own blood. So when he ascended the throne he eliminated everyone who had no blood ties to him. Those who were brothers, uncles, sons of the king were promoted and had the right to inherit lands.

There was a rumor that a technique was passed among the kings that could control one's own bloodline. But this has never been proven.

The only thing the current king cared about was whether the one leading the family was a person who was part of his blood. Of course, he had a preference for blood purity, but as long as the person was talented that would only be a small detail.

As time went by, the main families created branches and then it became divided between main and secondary families. The main ones are the first generation and the secondary ones are any subsequent generation

Daisheng's family was considered by many to be the weakest among the main ones and the one that could lose their position at any moment. Despite being the first generation, without the proper power to maintain itself, everything would be in the past.

Han met Daisheng on one of his trips. As a person desperately searching for a way to save his family, he was open to any idea.

He then coincidentally met Han who was looking for business partners for the Vogen family and friendship was born.

The old man was always ambitious and had great greed. Unfortunately he didn't have the power or influence to ensure he was among the best in the kingdom. He always focused on making friends or relationships that would guarantee any type of benefit for him.

Han also helped him with some business ideas, copying the previous world, and then Daisheng without hesitation put the ideas into practice. He and Han spent months and years exchanging letters about business and soon the friendship/cooperation between the two grew.

He even tried to get Han to join his family but at the time he was refused. After that, Han ended up meeting Aria and then they lost contact.

Han was going at the maximum speed possible. Through the system he discovered an elemental spell called Wings of Fire which was composed of fire and air and so he flew at superhuman speed.

While flying notification sounds sounded and then he diverted his attention and then saw the image of Aria being fucked by Robert, she was totally submissive accepting his cock entering and leaving her pussy.

An excitement grew and his dick became hard and at the same time a bitter taste in her mouth.

He had to hurry up and complete the assassination missions as soon as possible.

At that moment he used talismans of invisibility and also of speed. It was expensive to do so, but he couldn't risk being slow and being seen while traveling to the rival country.

During the afternoon he entered the country and at the end of the night he reached the capital. Just before approaching he descended to the ground and then entered the city as he passed through the wall.

Han felt more and more grateful to this invisibility talisman, he felt that it was the system's main ability. If he wanted to he could become a world thief who would have great success

Coming out of an alley, Han was now visible walking through the city, he knew very little about this city and tried to search his mind for the way to Daisheng's house but failed, he chose to stop a passerby and asked for directions.

Arriving close, he activated another talisman and then entered the old man's house.

He quickly found him in a kind of office and taking advantage of the opportunity for a servant to leave the room, he entered before the door closed.

The servant felt a strange wind pass by her but quickly left the place, thinking it was imagination.

Inside the room there were two people, the first was a fat middle-aged man, this was Daisheng and the second was a young man with a high nose and an arrogant look. At that moment the old man was seen with a not very happy look while the young man had a mocking smile.

"Old Daisheng. Think very carefully, this will be your last chance. We've already had these conversations, you may have improved in recent years but you haven't completely saved yourself."

As he leaned back on the chair and had his feet on the table in a domineering pose, the young man continued

"You and your family must submit to me. Think about it, you may not have as much power anymore, but at least you will have peace of mind."

The old man stood up and knocked on the table and looked with an enraged face.

"Do you think being a slave and having peace of mind are the same thing? I will never submit to you. I'd rather be demoted to a secondary family than have to be part of your disgusting half-breed family."

"Get out of here before I get angry. The answer before was no, the current answer is still no"

"Old man, you. You'll regret saying that"

The young man then got up, spat on the ground and left.

Daisheng then felt himself and stood still for a few minutes before letting out a sigh.

He then pulled out a box and with a drop of blood he opened it and started reading some papers.

Han stood behind him and read along

The papers were sent by some people with the same surname as Daisheng, it seemed like it was from some kind of spy or informant.

But he said that the situation was increasingly tight and that the king was planning a major change.

Han read to understand the general situation and then when Daisheng finished he put everything away.

He was preparing to leave, but at that moment Han finally appeared.

"It seems the situation is difficult old friend"

Daisheng got the biggest scare of his life. He jumped out of his chair and was ready to fight.

When he turned around and saw who it was his eyes brightened in recognition but he still remained cautious.

"Young Han? What are you doing here? And most importantly, how did you get in? How long have you been here? What is your goal? Did you see everything that happened just now?"

Han was bombarded with an exam of questions. He noticed that the old man was trying to buy time.

"Old Daisheng, don't worry, I come as a friend and not an enemy. I came here a long time ago and saw the whole scene."

"I'll be honest, I have an opportunity that might help you deal with this situation right now depending on how you handle it. Are you interested?"

The old man became less cautious but he still decided to be open to new options, this young man's ideas saved him before and could save him again

"And what do you get out of it?"

"Same as you, having my enemies killed"

"Oh, since young Han is the princess's husband perhaps our entire kingdom is his enemy. Tell me, which of us do you want to kill?"

Han smiled and then replied.

"My enemy is not in your kingdom but in the Quinn kingdom itself."

Boltor was confused, he didn't understand how he from another kingdom could help Han deal with his enemies. Despite being from one of the main families, he had no influence far from the kingdom itself.

"What do you mean?"

''Now I can't answer someone is coming, but wait for me and I will return when you are alone.''

Before Daisheng responded, Han disappeared again and in the next second a sound came from the door and it was opened.

''Father, you cannot allow this. That Xunwei Yuxun is very arrogant, before leaving he told me that one day I will be his slave."

A beautiful young woman entered the room, it was Ling Yuxuan, old Daisheng's daughter. Her face was irritated, showing clear dissatisfaction.

Old Daisheng was still tense but he felt that the room was lighter so he chose to believe that Han was no longer present.

''Lingling don't worry, that bastard will never lay a single hand on you and he won't return to this house anytime soon either.''

''I wish I never saw him again, dad, he always looks at me with a disgusting look.''

The old man continued to listen to his daughter and finally he pulled out some gold notes, then she left with a smile on her face.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the other side, Han was already outside the mansion and found a small inn. Han disappeared in the inn's room and when he appeared again he was with Charlotte.

''Mom, I'm finally here and I'm going to take care of matters. You can follow me''

He then carried Charlotte and returned to the still invisible old daisheng's house. The quick round trip took a few minutes but for the old man it was an eternity.

He stayed in the room alone, listening only to the sound of breathing while he imagined when Han would appear.

Finally there was a knock on the door and he got up to open it, there was no one on the other side but he felt a wind pass by him and when he turned around han was behind him.

The difference is that this time there was a beautiful busty woman with a hot figure accompanying him.

''Young Han, you are back and accompanied''

''Yes old Daisheng. This is Charlotte, my mother.''

The old man's eyes were shining, fighting the desire to look at every part of this woman's body, fortunately he was experienced and managed to resist everything. But the presence of this beautiful mature woman helped to make him more relaxed.

With a smile on his face he greeted her

''So it's Mrs Vogen, very nice to meet you, I always wanted to know where an intelligent young man like Han came from and now I realize that it was not without reason.''

With a smile on her face Charlotte replied

''Thank you for the compliment Mr Daisheng, I heard that you have known my son for a long time and that you helped him when he came by, I am grateful for that. Thank you very much''

''You don't need to thank me, ma'am, I benefited more from your son than he benefited from me. I really appreciate it.''

Seeing that the atmosphere was calm, Han sat down before starting to speak.

''Old man before I started, what happens earlier, who was the one arrogantly stopping you?''

The smile on Daisheng's face disappeared, giving way to anger.

''That is Xunwei Yuxun, he is the most talented young man in the kingdom and considered by many to be one of those who can be promoted to prince. He is a descendant of a secondary family and from a young age he demonstrated great talent in cultivation. His influence has grown in recent years and he already has the support of all secondary families. Now he's targeting the majors. I am part of the faction that supports the heir prince who is a direct descendant of the king.''

At that moment his voice dropped as if he was afraid of the words he was going to say.

''But the crown prince... whether in talent or intelligence loses a lot to Xunwei and because of that his place is not that firm. Xunwei uses this as leverage and acts arrogantly as if he is the crown prince."

''But old Diasheng, if xunwei is so talented, what's the problem with joining his faction? Wouldn't you have an advantage by teaming up with the future crown prince?"

''You don't understand young man, the main issue is that that xunwei wants my daughter. And I will not dirty my lineage with someone from the secondary family. Furthermore he wants me to sign a slavery contract to make sure I won't betray him. Now I am enduring pressure from both internal and external family elders.''

''Old man, I have the impression that every time we meet you are about to fall.''

''Hehe, don't joke young Han, but you're right. This time I'm about to fall. But you still haven't answered my previous question. How can I help you deal with your enemies when I can't even deal with mine?"

''You know old man, I married the princess of the Quin kingdom, I had peace for the first few years but recently the royals are strange and one of my wife's old suitors has to deal with me. His name is Robert and he is the son of a duke. You must have heard of it''

Daisheng nodded, as someone from a major family he knew the most important names in the Quin kingdom.

''His father is about to become Duke and using that as a base he wants to get revenge. He doesn't have the courage to act when I'm with the princess, as long as I don't leave her side I can guarantee my safety. But I can't always depend on a woman.''

''I'll be straight, old man. I needed someone from your kingdom who could "ally" with Robert and then they would both be discovered. Each one would be looked after by kings or royalty and our hands would be clean. What do you think?''

Daisheng's eyes widen as he fell silent and thought. His mind worked connecting each dot as he tried to imagine how everything happened.

Han gave the old man time while he watched. Charlotte looked at everything with interest, han felt that this mother had the expression of a viewer watching a TV series.

Finally the old man broke the silence

''This... could work, I believe that for you to say this you must already have a plan in mind''

''I didn't have it, but after seeing Xunwei everything took shape. I was hoping you would help me by nominating an influential person who has been growing recently. This xunwei fits the standards. It suits the idea of an ambitious person who might wish to overthrow the king.''

''Yes, with the right planning and time we can do all this''

The old man cheered up, dealing with xunwei was something that kept him up at night and now with Han's help he felt like he could succeed. This young man previously helped him when he wasn't even a person, now that he is the husband of a princess he must have improved a lot.

''That's the old problem, we don't have that much time. This should be done within a few days.''

''It's not going to work like that, this is not something we can do so quickly. Traitors are not born out of nowhere and a false relationship must be well taken care of, otherwise everything can easily be discovered and at that time our necks will be in danger.''

With a smile Han took something out of his pocket. It was a stone

red, he had no idea that a chance encounter in the forest would help him so much.

''This can certainly lead to alliances being formed quickly.''

The old man had the third surprise of the night, he recognized it as the much sought after red stone. Many kingdoms sought her out and offered rich rewards in return. He looked with a greed that quickly disappeared. For him, dealing with xuanwei was more important. He then thought again. This time he also smiled before understanding.

''That way everything really becomes clearer. Tell me how we will do everything?''

He and Han spent some time talking while Charlotte just listened, she was surprised at how this son was taking the matter.

In the end, the old man committed to gathering as much information as possible about Xuanwei.

After that, Han returned to the inn together with Charlotte.

''Son, I wanted to help you but in the end I didn't even have the chance. You handled everything easily. I didn't feel useful''

''Don't worry mom, I've known the old man for a few years. I already knew it would be an easy thing to deal with.''

Looking at the world outside through the window Han continued

''But let's take advantage of the fact that we are in this kingdom, I haven't been here for a long time and I miss some foods. Will you accompany me?''

''Of course son.''

Han then quickly changed his appearance, he couldn't risk being recognized.

As for Charlotte, she just wore a simple veil that covered her face. When she was about to leave, Han felt an itch as if he had to do something. He then looked at her entire body before he had something in mind.

''Mom, I have a request''
