Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 2030 - 798_2
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
"Moreover, when the mission was initially assigned to you, I did consult your opinion, and you did not oppose it."
"Now, you come to see Lady Elina, is there a problem? Why didn’t you discuss it with me or the Heavy Stone God King beforehand."
As the strategist of the Heavy Stone God King’s faction, the Hanhai God King deeply understood the art of conversation.
Even though he was certain from analysis and what Qiu Tu just said that Qiu Tu was here tonight to complain to Elina or shirk the mission.
But he didn’t state it explicitly. Instead, he clarified the importance of the mission first, then questioned Qiu Tu for reporting beyond the hierarchy to introduce the topic.
If it were an ordinary God King, they would likely feel a bit troubled and start looking for a way to smooth things over.
However, could Qiu Tu be an ordinary God King?
Upon hearing the Hanhai God King’s words, Qiu Tu’s face was full of indifference. He waved his hand and then spoke, "Hanhai God King. It’s not that I don’t want to communicate with you. It’s that you can’t make the decision on this matter."
Qiu Tu’s words amused the Hanhai God King.
If Qiu Tu was intending to abandon this mission, indeed, he couldn’t make the decision. After all, given their antagonistic relationship, he wouldn’t agree to such a request.
But... could Elina make the decision on this matter, or would she be willing to?
Take a tricky mission from Qiu Tu and assign it to another God King?
What kind of stakes would Qiu Tu need to move Elina?
As it turns out, right then, Qiu Tu said, "After all... the plan of the ’Immortal Three Giants’ this time is indeed too huge."
"Moreover... the identity of the spy I control is also extremely special. To prevent the leakage of information, which would endanger him, I must be extra cautious."
The Hanhai God King actually intended to say more before hearing Qiu Tu’s words. For example, show some credentials, talk about the procedure, and incidentally educate Qiu Tu.
But who knew... before he could even start speaking, he heard such a bombshell of news.
He was stunned on the spot, blinking. Even with his Qi cultivation skills, there was a hint of disbelief on his face.
And beside him, the Heavy Stone God King, although better at Qi cultivation, found the matter far too sudden and significant, so even though he had mentally prepared, his brows furrowed deeply.
Above, Elina propped her chin, leaning sideways on the divine throne, watching the three’s interaction with interest.
Seeing the Heavy Stone and Hanhai God Kings both shocked, she seemed to have discovered something extremely amusing and spoke with a smile, "God King Qiu Tu makes a valid point."
"After all, this mission was assigned by me to the ’Execution Department,’ and since it’s both sensitive and significant, reporting to me when he finds things going beyond his expectations to seek further advice, also seems reasonable."
If Qiu Tu’s words earlier could still be perceived as stubborn by the Heavy Stone and Hanhai God Kings, they had no choice but to believe it now that even Elina confirmed Qiu Tu’s statements.
This led the two to exchange a look of undeniable surprise.
How many days has it been? Not even a week, right?
Yet Qiu Tu has already completed the mission? Found out what the ’Immortal Three Giants’ are up to?
How is that possible?
Bear in mind, he hasn’t even left the Wine God Country!
With these thoughts, the Heavy Stone God King finally spoke.
His massive body turned slowly towards Qiu Tu and said gruffly, "Qiu Tu, are you saying... you have figured out the plans of the ’Immortal Three Giants’?"
"What are they?"
Upon hearing the Heavy Stone God King’s words, Qiu Tu did not respond immediately but looked up at Elina.
He knew exactly who was the boss, who was his backing.
In the political arena, wavering or being unclear about one’s allegiance is most inappropriate.
Sure enough, seeing Qiu Tu not answering the Heavy Stone God King’s question but instead seeking her opinion first, Elina nodded in satisfaction and then made a gesture.
Seeing Elina’s approval, Qiu Tu then provided a detailed account of the intelligence he gathered from God King Gu Tian and Jasmine.
When they heard that the ’Immortal Three Giants’ plan to use a secret technique to forcibly change the attributes of the next era, both the Heavy Stone and Hanhai God Kings couldn’t help but frown slightly.
As seasoned God Kings, in an instant, they reached the same conclusion as Qiu Tu: if things are really as Qiu Tu described, then the West will inevitably fall into chaos this time.
Moreover... with the Immortal Three Giants stirring things up so, the four figures behind the scenes of the ’temple’ will surely descend in person. The grandees of the Order Path will arrive, and quite likely the leaders of the Mysterious Path, whose epoch could also be seized, will come as well.
Add to this the Chaos Witch currently wreaking havoc in the ’West’, and the Destruction Tyrant bringing his Divine Country toward the ’West’...
Five of the Six Great Paths gathered.
"This damned business just got big..."
Despite their reluctance to admit it, upon realizing how dire the situation turned out, the two God Kings couldn’t refute the reasoning behind Qiu Tu reporting directly to Elina.
Even if they were informed, after hearing about it, all they could do was bring Qiu Tu to Elina immediately.
During this period, if someone leaked the news, they wouldn’t be able to clear their names even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
However, after learning the importance of Qiu Tu’s intelligence, the two God Kings couldn’t help but doubt the authenticity of Qiu Tu’s source of intelligence.
