Chapter 1093: Chapter 1093: It Won’t Kill You (1)

“Duke, Miss Gan, a guest has arrived.”

A guest?

The two exchanged a glance, then both turned their gaze to Helen.

“Who?”

Helen smiled, “The guest does not want me to reveal their name.”

Gan Yuan turned her face to look at Huangfu Jue, who merely shrugged, indicating he had no knowledge either.

After a moment, Gan Yuan gently curved her lips, “Alright, let’s go see this mysterious visitor.”

She didn’t know who the mysterious guest was, but from Helen’s expression and tone, it was clear that it was someone she was familiar with.

If she guessed correctly, it was likely one of those individuals.

Thus, the two went upstairs together, arriving at the reception room on the second floor.

Upon entering, they saw a man with long legs lazily sitting on the windowsill of the floor-to-ceiling window, wearing a plain white shirt with sleeves casually rolled up to his elbows. Two buttons were undone at the collar, revealing a half-crescent of his collarbone. The shirt was slightly wrinkled, but it didn’t seem sloppy; instead, it looked extremely comfortable and at ease, as if that was just the way the shirt should be worn.

Seeing him, both Huangfu Jue and Gan Yuan raised their lips in a smile.

Huangfu Jue understood his own brother, having already guessed roughly when Helen mentioned it, so he was not at all surprised.

Gan Yuan also guessed it might be someone from the Huangfu Family, thus seeing this brother just confirmed her suspicions.

Huangfu Qi noticed their gazes and realized his attempt at mystery didn’t have much effect. He shook his head and said, “Can’t you cooperate with a little surprise?!”

Huangfu Jue rolled his eyes in response, while Gan Yuan smiled and spoke.

“In fact, I’m very surprised.”

As she said this, her gaze moved from Huangfu Qi to General Yuri, who was getting up from the sofa. Her eyes passed over Yuri’s wrinkled shirt and the bandage stained with blood on his neck, and she could roughly guess the hidden truth.

Though she marveled at Huangfu Qi’s power and methods, her face remained composed.

With a smile, she walked to the sofa and extended her right hand to General Yuri.

“General, welcome to the Capital!”

Not far away, Huangfu Qi lazily folded his arms, and Huangfu Jue narrowed his eyes slightly. The two brothers were both waiting for General Arthur’s reaction.

Everyone here was smart, and they all understood the true nature of the matter. Gan Yuan deliberately didn’t mention it, and starting in such a courteous manner already gave General Arthur a significant concession.

Currently, F Country was in a critical period, and she did not want to easily make enemies or stir up major internal conflicts.

Over the years, General Yuri had been managing the navy, and the navy was, of course, extremely loyal to him.

Now that General Yuri was in the Capital, if she wanted, she could easily take him down with a mere gesture and bring the entire navy under her control.

However, while killing a person is easy, truly controlling an entire corps is not. If something happened to General Arthur, would the navy, loyal to him, resist? If they really did resist, thousands of people, would she kill them all?

If that happened, she would completely lose the trust of all the corps.

Gan Yuan’s outstretched hand toward General Yuri was her offering him a chance—submit to her now, obey her, and he could continue living and continue being General Yuri.

If not, he knew the consequences himself.
