”Then what should I do? Am I supposed to wait for my death without doing anything? I am not resigned!” DongFang JingLei grew anxious as he looked at Ling Tian with a burning gaze . ”Brother Ling, even if their forces are strong, it is impossible for them to be stronger than you . As long as you are willing to help me, my situation will not be completely hopeless! As long as you help me today to tide through this difficult time, anything can be discussed!”

Ling Tian stood up and paced around slowly with a frown . Currently, DongFang JingLei was no longer in the right state of mind and had laid out all of his cards! If DongFang JingLei could become the Family Head of the DongFang Family, just what would happen? Would such an outcome be a good or bad thing for him? Furthermore, were there any other benefits he could get out of this matter?

After a few rounds, he unknowingly noticed Xiao YanXue looking at him with a frown, and his eyes shone with an idea .

Ling Tian quickly returned to his seat and looked at DongFang JingLei, ”I long had the intention to form an alliance with you and I am not a despicable individual who would go back on my word . Even if you are in dire straits now, my words are still valid! I can promise you that I will help you ascend to the position of the DongFang Family Head!”

DongFang Jing Lei exclaimed and thanked Ling Tian profusely . Today, he was almost at his wit's end, and Ling Tian was basically his last hope . If Ling Tian were to reject him, DongFang JingLei would have no choice but to live in seclusion for the rest of his life! Furthermore, that is provided that he could ensure that he wasn't discovered by the DongFang Family!

”Then what do you need me to do? The forces under my command currently are extremely limited!” After a wave of agitation, DongFang JingLei finally regained his cool and wisdom . Based on what he knew about Ling Tian, DongFang JingLei was certain that Ling Tian was definitely not a helpful and selfless individual . DongFang JingLei was certain that Ling Tian would only give him aid if there were benefits! But it was also because he knew that Ling Tian was such a person that DongFang JingLei was extremely a.s.sured . In DongFang JingLei's heart, regardless of how good a comrade was, the moment one loses his worth, there wouldn't be a point to form an alliance anymore . In fact, DongFang JingLei was extremely thankful that he was of some worth to Ling Tian thus resulting in this cooperation . In any case, it would be much better than escaping for the rest of his life .

”What do I need you to do?” Ling Tian smiled profoundly, ”My future DongFang Family Head, what do you think you can do with your current strength?! Before the situation stabilizes, there isn't a need for you to do anything . However, I hope that you will not hesitate when it is time for you to do something . Do you understand? Not a single shred of hesitation!”

DongFang JingLei fell silent . He could naturally understand the hidden meaning behind Ling Tian's words . This person obviously had a huge ambition towards Eastern Zhao and the DongFang Family! DongFang JingLei pondered in his heart if it was worth for him to make such a decision .

Ling Tian sat by the side in a leisure manner and was not anxious in the slightest . After all, the one who needed to be anxious now was DongFang JingLei . Thus, Ling Tian gave him ample time to consider the matter .

A long while later, DongFang JingLei said with difficulty, ”DongFang… Fa . . . mily…”

”The DongFang Family will not peris.h.!.+” Ling Tian interrupted, ”Brother DongFang, you should know that even if I do not have a chess piece like you, it wouldn't be difficult for me to achieve my goal . I would only need to spend a little bit more time . At the same time, time is something that I am not lacking at the moment!”

”You are right! I promise you!” DongFang JingLei clenched his teeth, and the look on his face was that of a gambling addict going all-in . At this moment, the look on DongFang JingLei's face seemed slightly malevolent .

Ling Tian went silent for a moment before bursting out laughing, ”Brother DongFang, we are only having a conversation and not fighting for our lives . For you to have such an expression, it looks as though I am trying to bully you! I am trying to help you here!”

”Young n.o.ble must be joking,” DongFang JingLei said with a bitter laugh as he thought in his heart, Isn't this considered bullying me? You have bullied me to the point I cannot fend for myself anymore! After taking this step today, I can no longer turn back and will have to walk with you down this path all the way! But even though he knew all of these in his heart, DongFang JingLei still changed the way he addressed Ling Tian and no longer dared to address Ling Tian as an equal . From the moment I change the way I address him, I will be serving under a lord and no longer have the right to speak to him as an equal . If I want to have authority in my hands, I will definitely have to pay a huge and heavy price .

Hearing the way DongFang JingLei addressed him, Ling Tian's eyes glowed and a trace of elation could be seen in his eyes . He knew that DongFang JingLei was still unresigned in his heart despite already being at his wit's end . However, Ling Tian was certain that he was capable of making DongFang JingLei submit to him completely in future! He was confident that he would be able to show DongFang JingLei how worthless he was without him!

However, this was not the right time to subdue DongFang JingLei .

After pondering for a moment, Ling Tian said slowly, ”I will command Shen RuHu to coordinate with you and put up a show . But before that, you have to enter the headquarters of the DongFang Family secretly and stand out when there is a change!” His calm eyes suddenly seemed to have transformed into a piercing dagger as he stared at DongFang JingLei with a threatening glare .

”Changes?” DongFang JingLei asked with a depressed tone before suddenly gasping with shock, ”Young n.o.ble, are you thinking of…”

Ling Tian nodded his head, ”Why, do you have any questions? Since you have already decided to plant your carrots on this plot of land, we must first uproot the original radishes . If not, where would you find the s.p.a.ce to plant your crops?”

”But he is still my older brother…” DongFang JingLei said with a hint of apprehension .

Ling Tian looked at DongFang JingLei silently before laughing in an eccentric manner . He then glared at DongFang JingLei coldly causing DongFang JingLei to feel a wave of discomfort .
