I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 778 - 478 Give me 3 days time_2

Chen Lun couldn’t help but be slightly startled.

He certainly understood the implication of what the other party wanted to do... As long as Houston died, the responsibility for the Royal City would naturally fall back onto him, allowing him to represent the Generous Council in this power struggle. It would not only reduce the strength on the Royal Family’s side but also increase the bargaining chips for the Moon and Constellation.

"The Constellation Sect is also skilled in Divination. As long as Her Majesty Priscilla makes a move, Houston’s true body will have nowhere to hide... At that time, even if the Generous Council seeks accountability, you can simply push the responsibility onto our shoulders."

Blaze said indifferently.

Chen Lun took a deep breath and fell into contemplation.

At this moment, he could vividly feel the madness and fearlessness of a mother trying to save her son... At the same time, he was also quite favorable towards this proposal.

Houston had always been at odds with him, belonging to an opposing faction in the Senate. His actions of seizing power in the Royal City during the Speaker’s absence had enraged Chen Lun, and the repeated provocations had already induced a killing intent in him towards Houston.

As long as he could leverage the power of the Witch, ’Your Majesty’, and the Constellation Sect, eliminating Houston and reclaiming his own power would be an easy task... He might even kill two birds with one stone, fulfilling the requirements of his Promotion Task: to significantly change the Destiny of a high-ranking individual.

He could use this to ascend to become a Saint!

And with no worries to follow.

Chen Lun was about to agree to Blaze, ’Your Majesty’s’ proposal, but he suddenly became alert.

’No, this is too smooth...’

It was so effortless and filled with coincidences that it made Chen Lun grow cautious. ’Once bitten, twice shy.’ The various methods of Howard had made Chen Lun realize the importance of remaining vigilant at all times.

His Passive ’Multitasking’ was running at full force, as he pondered over the logical threads behind this matter and its potential consequences.

’If I accept Blaze, ’Your Majesty’s’ proposal, with the strength of Shuoli, King Priscilla, locating Houston’s true body would naturally be easy. With the combined assault of the Constellation Sect and the Witch, it’s likely that we could kill him... But the Speaker and the other Governing Officers are not fools. Should they learn of my collusion with outsiders to murder a senatorial colleague, the Affection I’ve painstakingly earned might significantly decrease, making it difficult to continue my tenure in the Senate... After all, this act is entirely different from a private conflict between Governing Officers.’

Chen Lun frowned.

The thing that made him most uneasy was the sensitive position of the Generous Council in this power struggle... The balance between both parties seemed to be disrupted precisely because of Houston’s arrival.

’If all of this was really orchestrated by Howard, intending for me to use the Constellation Sect to remove Houston and thus break the situation for advancement... would I then lose the support of the Generous Council, falling into a trap already laid out for me?’

Chen Lun did not believe Howard had no demands of him, the other party must have had an agenda in arranging all this... And once Chen Lun became a Saint, it would mean he qualified to challenge Destiny itself, ensuring an inevitable confrontation between them.

Although the Generous Council was not as large as the other Seven Gods Churches, it was still a top-tier power, one that Howard could not afford to Contempt... To ensure the success of His plan, Chen Lun felt that Howard might want to leave him isolated.

So how should he break the game?

Chen Lun felt the invisible net closing in, leaving him with little time and few opportunities...

Suddenly, his expression stiffened.

Then the corners of his mouth revealed an uncontrollable delight.

"Jack, do you agree with this proposal?"

Blaze, ’Your Majesty’, had waited for a long while before finally speaking up and asking.

Chen Lun lifted his gaze and nodded in agreement.

"Witch, ’Your Majesty’, this is indeed the best way to break the current stalemate... but I have a proposal of my own."

"Speak, Jack."

Blaze said gently.

Chen Lun stared at the Witch and said solemnly,

"I want to take action myself."

"Hm?"

Blaze’s eyebrows knitted slightly.

"Jack, it’s not that I underestimate you, but Houston is still a Sequence Four Saint of the Deception pathway. Even though your current strength surpasses most Mid Sequence Transcendents, facing a high-ranking individual’s true body is still a vast difference... Not only are you unlikely to kill Him, but you may also lose your life in the process." freёwebnoѵel.com

"I understand, ’Your Majesty’."

Chen Lun exhaled slowly and said.

The reason for his proposal was that his taking action was fundamentally different from the Constellation Sect’s involvement... Although both aimed to eliminate Houston, the resulting implications were completely different.

One was an internal conflict; private disputes between Governing Officers, though equally distasteful, could be justified on Chen Lun’s part. At the very least, it was Houston who took advantage of the situation first. As the victim, many senators would side with him, and the Speaker would not pursue the matter too far.

But the other was conspiring with outsiders to murder a colleague; no matter how justifiable the reasons, it would not be acceptable. The best outcome Chen Lun could hope for might only be to be expelled from the Senate... Perhaps this was only because of his many past contributions that he was not sentenced to imprisonment.

But at the end of the day, everything still depended on strength.

As Blaze, ’Your Majesty’, had said, Chen Lun did not even have the credentials to face a Saint’s true presence, so how could he take action against Houston?

But just a moment ago, Chen Lun—through his Deception Incarnation—discovered that it had found Carmen’s whereabouts in the Dark World! With this, his Promotion Task finally presented another option, one not influenced by Howard’s manipulation!
