1760 Default Winner (1/2)
”Puti! Have you thought of something?” Luo Qiongcang leaned forward inquisitively.
The other core members of the royal family sat upright in their seats as well, ears pricked up.
Since the betrothal contest plans were decided, Luo Puti had been devising plans and drawing up her strategy behind the scenes. Both the first and second tasks were her ideas which had produced effective results with very clear and well-defined intentions.
On that account, her opinions were taken seriously and highly regarded.
”I don't have a solution yet… But, the situation is not as bad as you think!” Luo Puti said. ”The first task earned us a lot of Earth-God grade materials. We were able to use this month to convert them into interstellar weapons enough for 100,000 men!”
Everyone in the room nodded in agreement. Luo Puti's plan had indeed worked very well in their favor!
Luo Puti continued, ”As for the second task, our goal was to incite opposition between the competitors and the Tenshou-Royal Dome alliance! According to our intel, when Feng Chongwu and Yun Changxiao were hunting for the Giant Barbarian Tiger, they were interrupted by Tenshou and Royal Dome soldiers and had sustained pretty serious injuries! Their sifu is a core elder of Heaven Dominating Faction! He will definitely avenge his beloved disciples! For the third and also final task, I am setting a forty-five-day time limit so that we can contact Feng Chongwu and Yun Changxiao's sifu and invite him to exact retribution with us! Getting this core elder's support on top of the Fengs and Yuns assistance will surely boost our combat force!”
After finishing her speech, Luo Puti received looks of approval and commendation.
She was not finished, however, and continued saying, ”One final thing though – Helian Tulong! During the second task, no one from either Tenshou or Royal Dome dared to cross him! This tells us that the Helian Family is extremely powerful! Making Helian Tulong the Fuma will entitle us to the Helian Family's aid! Even if a war is to break out, we would at least have a chance!”
”Make Helian Tulong the Fuma?” Luo Shanhe looked confused. ”But the third task has not even been announced or completed yet. What if he loses?”
”Don't worry!” Luo Puti replied. ”The third task is for the contestants to present a betrothal gift that will win my heart! This is a very subjective assignment. I just need to say that Helian Tulong's gift moved me and he'll be crowned the winner!”
Luo Shanhe praised, ”Luo Puti, that is a very well-rounded plan! It seems I was worried for nothing!”
Luo Qiongchang, however, did not share his brother's excitement. ”What about that Tenshou spy?”
”He probably won't be back!” Luo Shanhe replied. ”According to the reports, he left the ten-thousand mountains only a few days into the second task! There's no way he could've captured a Giant Barbaric Tiger!”
”That's true…” Luo Qiongcang nodded but heaved a sigh. ”How unfortunate. The Giant Barbaric Tiger is made up of treasures! If that spy could bring one back, we can exchange it for even more interstellar weapons!”
”I think he'll come back!” Luo Puti remarked. ”That Royal Dome spy Ximen Shuoxue didn't capture a tiger. He'll be eliminated from the competition! That Tenshou spy is their last pawn. They won't let him give up that easily!”
Luo Shanhe frowned. ”You mean that Tenshou will find a way to help that spy to get a Giant Barbarian Tiger?”
”It's very likely!” Luo Puti nodded. ”Since there's only one final task left, the Tenshou will want their spy to stay in the competition to beat Helian Tulong!”
”That can be easily taken care of!” Luo Qiongcang expressed. ”If that Tenshou spy dares to come back, I will kill him myself! Then he won't be able to join the final round!”
”No! Don't!” Luo Puti shook her head. ”I will decide the winner for the final round! Helian Tulong will win! We cannot kill that spy so Tenshou will still think they have a chance at winning the third round! If we kill that spy, we'll startle the enemy and they might retaliate and attack!”
