Chapter 2088: The Deposed Crown Prince, Li Xuantu! (1/2)

He raised his head and directly said, ”Speak. Why did you come to find me?”

”Hmph, you want to get away from us now that you've become the Wise Minister of the Great Tang? Don't forget how you got the position of Prime Minister!”

Genesis Supreme's voice was cold as he rudely spoke.

An outsider would have undoubtedly been shocked to hear this. No one would have imagined the mighty Prime Minister of the Great Tang to have such a close relationship with the men in black. Moreover, from the words of the men in black, it was apparent that the men in black had played a significant role in getting Li Linfu the Prime Minister post.

Such news was more than enough to shake the realm.

Li Linfu said nothing, only let out a long sigh.

Brought up and brought down by the same man!

Twenty years ago, he had been a complete nobody and completely useless, a member of a branch family of the imperial household that was frequently jeered at by others. In an unexpected turn of events, he saved Genesis Supreme, who was on the verge of death after failing to assassinate the Sage Emperor, and assisted him in hiding from the Imperial Army.

After that, those two began to work together.

With the help of Genesis Supreme and the men in black, along with his own natural talents in politics, Li Linfu had ascended smoothly until he finally reached the post of Prime Minister.

In this process, many of his old enemies or rivals failed or were exiled for various reasons.

Many people said that Li Linfu was a late bloomer, and his luck only erupted when he was forty-some years old and the Sage Emperor began to appreciate his talents, allowing him to reach his current place. Very few people knew that the men in black had been helping him this entire time.

But the existence of the men in black was a taboo, and they were the Sage Emperor's mortal foes that he had spent many years attempting to annihilate.

Thus, after assuming the post of Prime Minister, Li Linfu had been extremely cautious, avoiding any direct connection with the men in black. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he refused to use their strength.

Alas, everything was decided twenty-some years ago, and he could no longer escape his connection with the men in black.

”This is not what I mean. The new Emperor is only recently enthroned, but your operations have been too frequent as of late. This is extremely unfavorable to me and can easily expose me,” Li Linfu said.

A man had to lower their head when the roof was too low, and even the revered Prime Minister of the empire had to bow to the men in black.

Did Li Linfu think he could hide his plans from him?

He had attempted to get in touch with Li Linfu several times, but Li Linfu had pretended to not receive his communications. The organization had nurtured Li Linfu for years, and now that he was Prime Minister, he thought that he could get out without paying back anything? Was anything ever that easy?

Li Linfu dropped his head and said nothing.

”Li Linfu, I know that you have already fallen out of favor. All of this is linked to that King of Foreign Lands. On this point, we actually share a common enemy.

”As long as you help me this once, I guarantee that I can help you remove the King of Foreign Lands—perhaps even that Li Heng as well. When the time comes, we will place someone else on the throne, or perhaps… You are also a member of the imperial household. If you are willing, I can make you master of the Great Tang!

”If you do not wish to have too much interaction after this, once this matter is over, I can guarantee that our relationship will end there and will cease affecting you.”

As Genesis Supreme spoke, his expression and tone softened.

”But before any of this can happen, you must help with this matter. Moreover, it's about time you paid me for my services!”

”What do you want me to do?”

After a period of internal struggle, Li Linfu finally spoke.

”And can you really get rid of Wang Chong?”

Upon hearing Li Linfu's last question, Genesis Supreme and the Tianfu Divine Lord smiled. In the end, what Li Linfu cared the most about was power.

”Sir Li should know of the Venerable Genesis Supreme's power,” the Tianfu Divine Lord suddenly commented. ”Wang Chong lately has been like a turtle in its shell, not daring to leave the capital. Why do you think that is? You don't really think it's because he was cultivating in his estate, do you?”

Li Linfu nodded. He did not doubt their strength, and this was why he had come.

Seeing that Li Linfu had agreed, Genesis Supreme said, ”Relax; what I need you to do this time is very simple and will pose no danger to you. You simply need to find someone for me.”

”Find someone?”

Li Linfu creased his brow, raising his head in surprise.

He had thought of many possibilities, but he had never imagined that Genesis Supreme would cause such a stir in the capital simply so that he could find someone.

No one understood more than him the power of the men in black. Genesis Supreme could simply appoint someone to find whoever this person was. There was no need to mobilize the Prime Minister of the Great Tang.

And how could people of their ability fail to find a person?

As if knowing what Li Linfu was thinking, Genesis Supreme waved his sleeve and indifferently said, ”Of course it's not that simple.

”This person is very special, and after wracking my mind, I find that you are only the person who can find his location.”

”Who is it?”

Li Linfu creased his brow in surprise.
