Chapter 481 Transaction (1)
From the completely different ways of betrayal by Hu Zhongyan and Wanshi, it can be seen that Wanshi's methods are far more sophisticated.
To put it bluntly, Hu Zhongyan's betrayal was for profit, for his own benefit and for the benefit of his family. He tried to curry favor with the commander-in-chief's confidants and thus gain control of the commander-in-chief. Regardless of whether he ultimately gained short-term or long-term benefits, the reasons and methods of the betrayal were obvious, and he himself was drawn into the game.
But Wanshi's methods are much more sophisticated. His motives are a little confusing. It seems that he doesn't care whether he can benefit from it. No, it is better to say that his motive for betrayal is not for profit!
So he just didn't want Liduo to have a good life? Why? Was he jealous?
Lido was too lazy to guess the reason, and she didn't care much anyway.
If Wanshi had not been under Lido's surveillance all the time, Lido might not have discovered that he was also one of the traitors.
Think about it, he never revealed his true face in front of outsiders from beginning to end. When he leaked the news, he spoke in the tone of a spectator. He usually behaved well. Who would have thought of doing that to him?
Even the Sky Knights would think that they were lucky and got the news accidentally.
The commander-in-chief's confidant got the news from Hu Zhongyan's uncle and reported it to the commander-in-chief.
The commander-in-chief was absolutely impressed by Lido and was deeply afraid of Lido's power. He knew too well that people like Lido were killing gods to monsters, but in fact, they were even more powerful weapons to humans and had the potential to overturn the table.
Therefore, he did not want to offend Liduo, because even if he mobilized all the summoners of the Tianjing main city legion stationed in the fortress, he probably would not be able to kill Liduo.
Then once he falls out with Lido, it will be his turn to be in trouble.
So after hearing the reported news, the commander-in-chief actually had only two choices.
One is to pretend that you have not heard the news and suppress the news so that it will not spread. Then, continue to ask Liduo for the Great Spiritual Stone.
As long as the news does not spread to the public, they do not have to pursue Liduo's guilt. Asking Liduo for the Great Spiritual Stone is a normal procedure and will not offend Liduo.
As long as Lido does not want to be an enemy of the entire empire, if the commander-in-chief insists on asking Lido for the Great Spiritual Stone, Lido will have no choice but to accept it and not cause trouble for them over this matter.
The second is to do Liduo a favor. Just as Liduo had thought before, they should unify their statements and conceal the fact that a large spiritual stone was missing. After all, most of the people in the joint army who participated in the operation did not actually know how many high-level monsters Liduo had killed.
Of course, in this case, Lido will have to give up some of her interests. After all, it is not easy to unify the views of all parties. It is equivalent to Lido making a multi-party transaction with all parties.
After much deliberation, the commander-in-chief finally chose the second option. He sent men in black to Lido's residence and invited Lido to go to the Magic Mall secretly. The commander-in-chief had some friendship with the store manager and had asked him to arrange a secret meeting room there.
The Sky Knights were not so sensitive. They ate while discussing the news they had just heard in low voices.
Perhaps Wanshi's purpose is to spread the news that Lido wants to keep the Great Spiritual Stone, forcing the commander-in-chief and the high-ranking people of the Qingyan City Legion to take measures against Lido, and even in the end it is possible that a Sky Knight team leader will be brought in to deal with Lido.
Because whether it was the person he hooked up with temporarily or the summoners of the Sky Knights, they might spread the news, and it might not even be intentional.
