Master Of Martial Arts Has An Advanced Optical Brain

Chapter 1609 Counterweight

Prince Lekas was silent for a moment before smiling, "You're a smart kid. That's right, I naturally won't kill you, because I can't bear to. However, I have to tell you clearly that if you can't give me what I want, I guarantee that I'll make you suffer."

At the last sentence, Prince Lekas's tone had already become extremely cold.

This was clearly an undisguised threat, but Chu Nan frowned with a puzzled expression.

"About that… Your Highness, actually, I've never understood a problem."

"What problem?"

"Since you want me to help you do something, why don't you just threaten me from the beginning? With the powerful strength of you, the royal family behind you, and even the entire Declan Empire, I definitely have no room to resist. No matter what you want, I'm afraid I can only agree obediently. Why do you have to go through so much trouble and end up like this?"

Chu Nan really did not understand. Prince Lekas had clearly come to threaten him, for example, using Angie Prairie's life to threaten him. He could only obediently submit and it was impossible for him to resist, but Prince Lekas had to cause such a commotion for so long. In the end, he did not achieve his goal and could only run out to threaten him now. Why?

"You don't understand?" Prince Lekas asked.

Chu Nan immediately shook his head. He indeed did not understand.

"You're not the only one who doesn't understand." Prince Lekas snorted, "There are many fools like you in the race who don't understand. I don't need to explain it to them, but I think I might have to explain it to you."

"Then… what's your explanation?"

"Explain? Ha… haha…"

Prince Lekas suddenly laughed loudly, causing Chu Nan to be even more puzzled.

"When I was young, I also thought that I only needed to use force to resolve everything. However, later on, I gradually discovered that although the efficiency of doing this was very high, the actual effect was usually the worst."

Prince Lekas stopped laughing and his expression became serious. His tone was filled with sincere teaching, causing Chu Nan to feel even stranger.

"Although those who are threatened have no choice but to do things for me, it's very difficult for them to unleash their original ability. They even lost the point where I originally valued him and was willing to threaten him. Therefore, I rarely use the simplest and roughest method to threaten people now. Only by bringing enough benefits can people be willing to work for me. Do you agree?"

Chu Nan could not help but nod.

"That's right, but is this the reason why you want Princess Viennelle to marry me?"

"Of course, that's not all, but this is the most important reason." Prince Lekas did not deny it, "Originally, the person I liked the most was Romanti. She has interacted with you the longest. I can tell that your relationship with her is not bad. If you choose her, the two of you will find it easier to accept each other."

"But Princess Romanti is unwilling, right?" Chu Nan recalled the conversation he had with her that night and sighed in his mind.

If not for the existence of Princess Viennelle, she might have directly agreed. In that case, he might really not be so resistant. Moreover, her personality was much more straightforward than hers. He could openly discuss some difficult problems with her, but it was very difficult to discuss the same problems with her.

"She did not reject it explicitly, but Viennelle took the initiative to say that she was willing to accept it." Prince Lekas seemed to be a little helpless, "Moreover, if we have to choose between the two of them, Prince Rokamp is more biased towards Viennelle because Romanti is the most outstanding junior of their family after all. He needs to bear more and more important responsibilities."

"Speaking of Prince Rokamp… how did he cancel the marriage agreement between me and Princess Viennelle so easily?" Chu Nan could not help but ask, "Didn't you stop him?"

"I was the one who proposed to him to cancel the marriage. Why should I stop him?" Prince Lekaszwe asked.

He was immediately stunned.

He originally thought that Prince Rokamp had seen that the situation was bad or made such a choice under the pressure of His Majesty Gremayne, but he did not expect that it was Prince Lekas who took the initiative to propose.

"There's no need to be strange. In fact, from the moment you passed the test, my plan had already been announced to have failed." Prince Lekas clearly saw the doubt in Chu Nan's heart and explained, "When you defeated Quinn a few days ago, I was even more certain of this. You're definitely not a guy who's willing to be controlled by others. If I use such a forceful method to coerce you, I definitely won't obtain the result I want. Instead of that, it's better to deal with my relationship with you again. After all… we've experienced the most dangerous situation together in the Endless Abyss, right?"

Chu Nan was a little confused by him. He touched his head and could not help but ask, "Then… Your Highness, you were still threatening me just now…"

Prince Lekas coughed lightly as if he was a little awkward.

"What I said just now is the truth. If you can't give me what I want, I'd rather kill you and not let those things easily fall into the hands of others. This will only be disadvantageous to the empire. However, if you're willing to cooperate, I'm naturally willing to show you kindness."

"Alright." Chu Nan sighed and shrugged, "Your Highness, after talking for so long, what do you want from me?"

"Here." Prince Lekas stretched out his finger and pointed at his head.

Chu Nan's eyes immediately constricted.

Could it be that Prince Lekas also knew his secret? Could it be that Elkart had told him this secret?

Why did Elkart do this? When did the relationship between the Noctem Chamber of Commerce and the Declan Empire become so good that they would even share such information?

"What I want the most is the knowledge about the teleportation door in your mind." Prince Lekas's next words made Chu Nan heave a sigh of relief, "I think Elkart should have spoken to you about this on the way back. That's right, the knowledge about the teleportation door in your mind is very important, much more important than you imagine. If I can rely on the thing in your mind to develop a teleportation door like the one in the Endless Abyss, not only will it bring an extremely huge benefit to the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, it will also bring an extremely huge benefit to the empire."

"But… the technical reserves of the Declan Empire in this aspect are probably far inferior to the Noctem Chamber of Commerce…" Chu Nan asked.

Prince Lekas's face darkened before he pointed at Chu Nan and said seriously, "That's why I need you."

Chu Nan immediately smiled bitterly.

He finally understood that the Declan Empire did not have the ability to develop the teleportation door technology. Even with Chu Nan, it was impossible. They also needed the help of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce very much, so they wanted to keep him and use him as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Noctem Chamber of Commerce and strive to obtain greater benefits from the research of the teleportation door and even monopolize the technology.

In summary, he, Chu Nan, had already become the most important leverage between the two super factions of the Milky Way, the Noctem Chamber of Commerce and the Declan Empire.
