Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1069 - 1029: Not from Zhao Country?

"Alright, I won’t waste any more words with you. Since you have such a disposition, I’ll tell you the truth—I am not a lackey of that damn Third Prince."

Lin Yi’s arrogant attitude, his brazen words, left everyone in the room stunned.

Even those who were trying to prevent the old man from getting angry were suddenly dumbfounded. They all turned their heads to look at Lin Yi, uncertain of what he meant by this remark, and unsure why he would say such a thing.

Could it be that he really isn’t a man of the Third Prince?

But if he isn’t from the Third Prince, why target the old general?

Moreover, this kind of arrogance seems like something only the Third Prince’s men would dare to display.

That’s why they initially assumed he was one of the Third Prince’s men.

After all, no ordinary person would be so arrogant and despotic.

In their view, Lin Yi’s attitude was extremely insolent. After all, a deputy general entering the Commander’s Mansion should be very polite, but acting as if he owns the place like this is truly rude.

The old general was also momentarily taken aback. Originally, he was thinking that if the other party really was from the Third Prince, he wouldn’t be afraid, but he would still have to be cautious—a bit of a pretense. Whether he could actually drag him out and execute him was still a question.

But hearing this guy now claiming he’s not with the Third Prince really made the old general genuinely angry.

With a flick of his hand, he sent the two subordinates holding him flying.

This was proof that, despite his age, the old man was still strong, explaining the true reason he could sit in his position today.

It’s not as if any fool could rise to this rank—this man had genuine skills. One could even say that even now, his fighting prowess could take on ten others at a time.

If he were given a strong warhorse and a handy weapon, taking on dozens alone wouldn’t be out of the question.

The act he had put on earlier had a lot of elements of a performance.

After all, he still didn’t want to truly oppose the Third Prince.

"Who exactly are you? If you’re not with the Third Prince, are you one of my men? But why have I never seen you before? Explain yourself today—what is your purpose in coming here? Speak. If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer, I won’t hesitate to have you dragged out and executed on the spot!"

With one sentence, he effectively sentenced Lin Yi to death.

Should Lin Yi’s answer fail to satisfy him, he wouldn’t show the slightest mercy and would cut this guy down immediately.

Provoking him would come at a cost, and doing so without any backing would incur an even heavier toll.

It’s also a good time to take this guy out and enforce military law, which could effectively establish his own authority.

However, seeing the old man’s livid expression, Lin Yi still responded slowly and calmly:

"Hey, old man, aren’t you getting a bit too worked up? This isn’t good; young people can’t handle anger well, let alone you, an old man.

Hehe, but it doesn’t hurt to tell you—I’m not just not from that damn Third Prince, I’m not one of yours, and I’m not from Zhao Country either."

This one sentence made everyone in the room involuntarily gasp.

No one expected this guy in deputy general armor to declare he wasn’t from Zhao Country.

This kind of joke seems a bit too much.

You have to know that within the entire Great Zhao Country, there are no Yan Country people or Yan Country’s presence allowed—this is something they would never permit.

What’s more, this is Zhao Country’s military camp, gathering 70,000 Zhao Country soldiers. In such a situation, someone claiming they’re not from Zhao Country, if true, would be a huge slap in the face.

In an instant, everyone glared at Lin Yi in anger.

If this guy truly wasn’t from Zhao Country, as he claimed, but from Yan Country, then if this got out, where would the face of Zhao Country’s soldiers go?

A dignified Zhao Country military camp, allowing a Yan Country spy to infiltrate and even don the deputy general’s armor—such a disgraceful humiliation, if spread, would quickly make them a laughing stock, humiliating them in front of the whole world.

What’s more laughable is that this isn’t just any military camp, but the most important Commander’s Mansion within the camp.

If he could get in here, is there anywhere he couldn’t penetrate?

This clearly illustrates something—that the Zhao Country Army at this point has become corrupt to a certain degree.

Or rather, their combat capability has dropped to a ridiculously low level.

If it weren’t like that, how could an enemy infiltrator get in—doesn’t this prove something?

"Boy, I urge you not to talk nonsense. Think before you act. Are you or are you not a soldier of Zhao Country?"

Even now, the old grump still clung to a shred of hope, thinking that if Li Yin were a Zhao Country person, at least their face wouldn’t be completely lost.

This was a first in their lives—hoping that the kid would just say he was joking. Even though he wouldn’t spare him for that, at least they wouldn’t lose face as much.

But facing this question, Lin Yi chuckled disdainfully and said:

"If you have problems with your hearing, don’t come out to lead troops.

It’s irresponsible for the soldiers if you can’t even solve your own issues.

So, I advise you to hurry back to wherever you came from."

After saying this, Lin Yi suddenly paused, then shook his head and said:

"Oh, listen to what I’ve said—it’s apparently not possible to return to where I came from. Not only is it impossible, but I also need your help here."

His words instantly made the old man blow his beard and glare again in anger.

This bastard not only claimed he wasn’t from Zhao Country, but now he’s asking for his help—where did he get the audacity to speak such shameless words?
