Ma Linna had a bad feeling when she saw Li Huailin. In fact, she was sure that Li Huailin had overheard their conversation. Although she was a little nervous, Li Huailin couldn't prove it. Ma Linna just had to deny it no matter what. Ma Linna just had to deny it.
But now, things were different. Marina was stunned when she saw the piece of paper in Li Huailin's hand. Then, she suddenly stood up. She knew what it was at first glance. Although she did not know how it fell into Li Huailin's hands, the first word that came to her mind was: It's over.
"It's fake!" Marina immediately shouted. "It's fake!"
"Really? But there are a few people's handprints on it. I don't know if it's real or not. Why don't I ask Anthony if it's true? Anyway, his handprints are on it … "Li Huailin said with a smile.
"No!" Marina jumped up. "You can't do this!"
"Bang!" Li Huailin grabbed Marina's collar and pressed her against the wall behind her. "Okay, my queen, can we skip this boring conversation? You can see that it's in my hands. In fact, Kartheros had accidentally lost it a few months ago … "
"How could you know about this thing!" Marina recovered a little from Li Huailin's condescending gaze. Although she was still panicking, at least she began to think.
"Of course I didn't do it," Li Huailin said. "You have to thank your good sister, Fantine …"
"Fantine?" Marina was a little stunned. "Could it be that she …"
"Yes, he saw this thing, so he sent a man of sacrifice to steal it. Unfortunately, it fell into my hands," Li Huailin said.
"You … you have contact with the rebels?" Marina suddenly asked.
"How is that possible? Think carefully." Li Huailin said. "With this thing in my hand, if I were a member of the rebels, I would directly announce this matter and lead the soldiers to revolt. How high do you think the chances of success are?"
"…" Marina was silent for a moment. Indeed, if Li Huailin revealed what he had, then with his prestige in the military camp, he would be able to pull all the soldiers to rebel in an instant. On the other hand, Fantine was the princess of the previous dynasty, so she had the blood of the royal family, so she would still be righteous. This way, it would be very easy to overthrow the kingdom, and the success rate was shockingly high.
"Let's not talk about the rebels. Just by revealing this, I can revolt successfully. What do you think?" Li Huailin said with a smile. "If this secret is exposed, who do you think will stand on your side?"
"…" Marina fell silent once again. That was why she kept it a secret and accepted Kartheros's threat. Even though she knew that Wilham wasn't guilty, she had no choice but to use all kinds of forged evidence provided by Kartheros. If something happened to Wilham, Kartheros would be doomed, but so would Marina and Anthony.
Initially, Fantine thought that the previous situation was already the worst, but she did not expect the current situation to be even worse. This thing actually fell into Li Huailin's hands, and Fantine felt like she was done for. Although Kartheros threatened her, he was also involved in this matter, so considering that the final result would be the death of all three of them, Kartheros would at least estimate his own situation. However, it was different for Li Huailin. This matter had nothing to do with him at all, so he was an outsider. He could disclose this thing directly, and the three of them would be killed, but he would be fine. Perhaps he could even take advantage of this incident to rise to power. This was the worst-case scenario that Marina could see.
"What … what do you want?" Marina had now figured out the current situation, but the problem was that she did not know what Li Huailin wanted to do. In fact, Li Huailin did not need to talk to Marina at all. With this, what else was there to talk about? Why did he specifically come to tell her about it? Could it be that Li Huailin did not want to disclose it?
"Yes … you're right." Li Huailin seemed to have seen through Marina's thoughts and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter to me whether this thing is disclosed or not. Of course, it's also based on the fact that you're more obedient."
"What … what do you want me to do?" Marina gritted her teeth, but there was really no other way. She could only ask in a deep voice.
"First of all, I need the gems." Li Huailin said, "Kartheros has been brewing this plan for a long time. Although he has told you about it long ago, he needs your cooperation, but he has never been able to get your approval. Now, he can suddenly implement it. The reason is … you don't want me to get the gems, so you want to ruin the celebration party. That's why you chose to agree to Kartheros's plan at this time. This is your plan, right?"
"I'm really not lying to you about this. If I collect all the gems, something terrible will really happen, and this matter is also related to the previous collective disappearance of the chosen ones. This is true." Marina said.
"It doesn't matter, but I want to try collecting them." Li Huailin said, "I can also tell you that in fact, I'm about to succeed. Now, I only need a few more, and one of them is the 'Wushuang' in your hand. I will get it no matter what. You can't stop me."
"It will be a disaster," Marina said.
"So, are you going to help or not?" Li Huailin asked.
"I …" Marina clenched her teeth and said, "I'll talk to Anthony. The celebration party will be held soon. You can ask Anthony then."
Of course, Li Huailin hoped that Marina would take out the gem and let him touch it. However, since he could get it at the celebration party, Li Huailin was not in a hurry. He nodded. "In that case, thank you, Your Majesty."
"You only want the stone? What are you going to do about the First Legion? "Marina asked after thinking for a while.
"Leave Kartheros to me. I'm very willing to deal with this guy, as long as you don't cause me any trouble," Li Huailin said. "According to your standards, you should know what to say."
"If you push him too hard, he will disclose this matter!" Marina said immediately.
"Disclose? Is he crazy?" Li Huailin spread his hands. "Now, Kartheros's only advantage is that he knows about this matter, so it's his only capital. Unfortunately, he has lost the evidence. He doesn't know that you already know about this matter, so he will probably be very careful not to let you find out about it. That's why he's feeling very guilty now. Right now, he doesn't have any evidence in his hand. If he discloses this matter, he can only rely on his credibility to see if anyone believes him. However, according to the current situation of the First Legion, there may not be many people who believe him. "
Li Huailin took a deep breath and said, "Think about the current situation. If Kartheros becomes the commander of the 1st Division, the situation will only get worse because his words will be more credible. If you beat him up and kick him out, people will think that he's spouting nonsense and maliciously slandering you because he can't produce any evidence to begin with."
"Do you understand? Kartheros is very anxious now. That's why he's in such a hurry this time. Otherwise, he won't have anything to threaten you with," Li Huailin said.
"Huh?" Marina was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, she felt that it did make sense. If Kartheros was kicked out of the game and this matter was made public, she could just say that Kartheros went crazy and took revenge on her. She could deny the whole thing since Kartheros wouldn't be able to produce any evidence anyway. However, if Kartheros became the leader of the 1st Legion and made this matter public, it would be very dangerous because Kartheros could directly launch a rebellion against the 1st Legion.
"Have you thought it through?" Li Huailin said.
"I understand …" Marina nodded. Although she was still threatened by Li Huailin, at least there was only one person on Kartheros's side who could kick him out.
"Your Majesty is really smart. You figured it out in an instant." Li Huailin nodded. "In that case, it's settled. I'll leave it to you tomorrow."
"…" Marina stared at Li Huailin and did not say anything. She could not do anything about it. Li Huailin did not care about what Marina thought. Anyway, he had achieved his goal. After pulling away from Marina a little, Li Huailin turned around and went straight out the door.
"Sir Overlord." As soon as he went out, Reggie greeted him. He had been watching the two coachmen at the door. When he saw Li Huailin coming out, he immediately walked up to him and whispered, "These two people have some skills. They don't look like ordinary people."
"Got it. Don't worry about it," Li Huailin said. "Now, you can go back and rest."
"Sir Overlord, don't you need to watch over here? Don't you need to watch over Earl Kartheros or the people here? "Reggie asked.
"No, the overall situation has been set. They can't do anything here anymore." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "By the way, get ready here. I may take over the First Legion later. More than half of the officers there are gone. Inform Legg and the others that they may need you guys to take over."
"Yes!" Reggie replied excitedly.
