CHAPTER 898: CHAPTER 559: A CUNNING SNAKE-LIKE SCOUNDREL

As he spoke, he played a video on his phone and projected it.

Soon, Prince Philip’s extraordinarily handsome virtual face appeared in the middle of the living room.

His tall and mighty figure was like a lion constantly exuding male charm.

His golden hair casually drifted, showcasing an unrestrained aristocratic demeanor.

"Hey, Tang, I didn’t expect to meet you this way. No, I should say I didn’t expect we’d have the chance to meet again."

"Honestly, I’ve been closely following everything you’ve done in the Phoenix Empire, both shocked and admiring. I know you’ve done some very difficult and remarkable things."

"Tang, my friend, I’ve always thought you’re a formidable opponent. And now you need help, I’m willing to introduce you to my best partners."

He waved, and two men walked up to him, the same two who now appeared in front of Tang Fei.

"Tang, this is Buton, and this is Nicholas... They are the people I trust the most, and they come with my friendship and sincerity... I hope you can have a pleasant conversation."

"I firmly believe that we will meet again on a beautiful day. At that time, we must drink and enjoy ourselves."

"Tang, I wish you luck. And us, too."

The video stopped and then disappeared.

Buton deleted the video from the phone, leaving no trace.

Tang Fei watched his actions and asked, "What if you can’t find me?"

"Then this video will never show up in front of anyone. It’s protected by a seven-layer encryption; anyone trying to forcibly crack it without the password will see it self-destruct."

"Quite cautious," Tang Fei nodded, looking at Buton, "So, your appearance here... is Philip’s personal initiative and not the choice of the Aus Empire, right?"

Buton and Nicholas immediately understood Tang Fei was a tough guy, too smart, precisely guessing the domestic attitude towards him just from the video’s appearance and destruction.

"Yes. We are here at Prince Philip’s request," Nicholas, with short brown hair and slightly curly hair, which made him look mixed-blood rather than purely Aus, said.

"Let me guess," Tang Fei said with a chuckle, looking at Nicholas. "Philip secretly sent you, not wanting anyone to know, with even an introduction video needing seven-layer encryption and immediate deletion... proving that internally the Aus Empire supports someone else. If I’m not mistaken, they chose Shen Wuxiang, right?"

Buton and Nicholas exchanged a glance, knowing they could neither hide nor cover up this matter.

Before their secret visit to Tang Fei, the Eldest Prince Caesar’s negotiating team should’ve already arrived at Shen Wuxiang’s Mountain Qi Camp.

"Yes, Mr. Tang Fei. Just as you guessed, Prince Caesar chose Shen Wuxiang. He believes Shen Wuxiang’s power is stronger and has more chance to achieve final victory and become this country’s new ruler."

"Did Prince Caesar choose Shen Wuxiang, or did King Lionheart choose Shen Wuxiang?" Tang Fei didn’t easily buy their story and pursued further.

"Well..." Buton hesitated a bit but still spoke, "King Lionheart indeed leans more towards Prince Caesar, but he hasn’t given up on Mr. Tang. That’s also why he authorized Prince Philip to reach out to you."

"Of course, Mr. Tang Fei, I can assure you, Prince Philip has always sided with you. He once argued fervently in front of King Lionheart, praising you highly..."

"Prince Philip believes that although you still seem weak now, you have a great chance to become this country’s ruler."

"I understand, I can understand..." Tang Fei said with a warm smile, expressing sincere emotions, "Prince Philip and I are very good friends. When he visited the Phoenix Empire, we forged a deeply rooted friendship, drinking together till dawn..."

"Otherwise, why would he send someone all the way to greet me? I’m very touched, and he will always be my best friend."

Buton and Nicholas exchanged glances again. Was this man so closely related to Prince Philip?

Why had Prince Philip not mentioned this?

Why, on the eve of leaving Aus, had Prince Philip repeatedly warned them, ’This guy is as insidious as a viper; you must be very careful’?
