Chapter 408: I Only Want You

Allie knew what kind of relationship Strachey had with Ulysses, but she didn’t give in.

“Your Highness, we can only talk to you alone.”

“How dare you!” Ulysses said almost immediately.

Allie lowered her head and didn’t argue, but she didn’t give in either.

At this moment, Strachey stood up.

“Your Highness, I suddenly remembered that there are still some matters at the tax center that I want to take care of.”

After saying that, Strachey left.

Ulysses looked at Allie unhappily. “Can I finally ask for your advice now?”

Five minutes later, Lei Luo, who had been drinking outside Ulysses’ residence, finally appeared in front of Ulysses.

When Ulysses appeared, Allie was shocked.

Because the Lei Luo at this moment had almost nothing in common with the Lei Luo she thought of.

If not for the fact that this face was so familiar, Allie would have thought that someone she had never seen had come to the door.

Lei Luo, who was standing at the door, was neatly dressed, had a calm expression, and his figure was straight. He gave off an invisible feeling of cynicism and harshness.

It was as if he had been surrounded by coldness and darkness since he was born. He had never seen the sun, and he had never felt warmth.

His eyes were straight as he looked forward, like a warrior on the battlefield, and his gaze was his weapon.

If it was a performance, wasn’t it a little too realistic?

It was so realistic that even she couldn’t tell if Lei Luo, who had leaned on her shoulder in the boat that day, was real, or if this Lei Luo in front of her was real.

Lei Luo, who had felt it clearly, started to blur in Allie’s heart.

When she first saw Lei Luo like this, Ulysses made a judgment in her heart.

“This person’s self-control and rationality have already exceeded the scope of what ordinary people can understand. He is a person who completely obeys his rational judgment. He will never be blinded by agitation and passion, and he will never be bound by worldly emotions and common sense.”

This was the first impression that Lei Luo wanted to form in Ulysses’ heart.

Ulysses sat silently in his chair and sized up Lei Luo, who was still standing at the door.

Lei Luo did not avoid looking at Ulysses.

This situation lasted for about five seconds.

Ulysses finally opened his mouth to ask, “Are you the person who created the plan to raid the ‘Holy City of Beauty’?”

“Can I sit down and answer your question, Your Highness?”

Lei Luo’s words were kept at a constant speed, and his tone was controlled to a very clean and neat level, without any sloppiness.

Ulysses nodded and said, “Of course.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Lei Luo took three steps and just walked to the opposite side of Ulysses. He sat down two seats away from Allie.

“Yes, I made the plan.”

Lei Luo spoke only after he had completely sat down.

Ulysses blinked. “I’ll only give you one minute. If you can’t convince me in one minute, your life will be over.”

“Personally, I think that given the current situation, it’s best for His Highness to use his wisdom elsewhere. Using it to play such a childish cat-and-mouse game would be a waste.”

“Situation? Listening to you, it seems like the sky is about to collapse.”

“The sky is just a mass of fog and will not collapse. However, a complete change in the situation of the empire is already unavoidable. At that time, even you, Your Higness, will not be able to stay out of it...”

When Lei Luo said this, he raised his head and looked at Ulysses.

“His Highness should be well aware of this. Otherwise, why would you go through so much effort to cultivate your own faction? Why would you want to use the name of taking Princess Allie as a concubine to gain control over the remnants of the East God?”

At this point, Ulysses finally stopped smiling. “Who exactly are you?”

“A traveler who has wandered around the depths of the Empire for many years. A traveler whose past cannot be traced even with your abilities, Your Higness.”

Ulysses stood up and started pacing around the living room.

What Lei Luo said was true. On the way here with Allie, Ulysses had already tried his best to find out more about this mysterious figure.

However, the earliest trace of all the investigations was only to the “Blood Red Pearl” from a few months ago.

Who he was, what his personality was, and what his likes and dislikes were, were all unclear.

All the intelligence reports submitted by the intelligence agents ended up with almost nothing useful and relevant.

“I know you came here to trade with me.”

“I know what you want from me, but I don’t know what you want to give me in exchange.”

“But that’s not important... I don’t want anything, I just want you...”

After pacing for about a minute, Ulysses suddenly turned around and pointed at Lei Luo.

Ulysses’ words made Allie stand up immediately. “Your Highness...”

Ulysses reached out to stop Allie from speaking.

“As long as you are willing to be my subordinate, no matter what the conditions are, no matter what you want from me, I can agree to it.”

“I can also agree to it. As long as you submit to me, I will give you the rank of second-in-command, major general, and feudal lord.”

Hearing this, Allie opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she was unable to do so.

She had never expected that the moment she met Ulysses, he would immediately start recruiting Lei Luo.

Moreover, he did not make a move, but the moment he made a move, it was already so heavy.

It was not an exaggeration to say that as long as Lei Luo agreed, he would immediately go from a worthless brat to a dazzling new star of the empire.

Tomorrow, his name would spread throughout the entire empire, and all the online weekly magazines would have his face on the cover.

This was something that anyone could only dream of.

Allie herself did not know what was going on, but she felt that Lei Luo would not accept it.

She felt like he would have no legitimate reason to support Ulysses. She just had a hunch that Lei Luo would not agree.

However, even if she felt that way, Allie could not open her mouth to stop Ulysses from recruiting her.

In any case, this was a great opportunity for Lei Luo.

She could not give him anything right now, but she felt like he was ruining his future. This could not be justified.

“I came here today not only to offer myself but also to offer the entire ‘East God’ to His Highness.”

Hearing Lei Luo’s words, Allie frowned slightly.

Other than that, there was no other reaction. Ulysses, on the other hand, was not moved at all.

He knew that the benefits of being smart were not so easy to take.

So he was in no hurry to speak and just kept looking at Lei Luo. He was still waiting to hear what he had to say.
