Super Gene Hunting Ground

Hearing the Eldest Prince’s mocking laughter, Jino felt a jolt in his heart and, suppressing his feelings, lowered his head and said:

”The Prince is wise and valiant, naturally not comparable to mediocre talents like us. These days, I have been on tenterhooks, afraid of not being able to defend the city and letting Hai Mu capture it, thus failing the Emperor’s expectations.

Now that the Prince is here, I can confidently hand it over to you.”

Jino was no fool; since the Eldest Prince had arrived, he quickly sought a resolution, entrusting the defense of Pegasus City and Karachi City to the Prince, thus relieving himself of the heavy burden.

”Haha, Jino, you’re thinking too simply. Is it that once I arrive, you want to push all responsibilities onto me?”

”Uh, Prince?”

Jino looked at the Eldest Prince before him with some trepidation.

Prince Long Aotian, naturally ruthless, suspicious and sly, also possessed high talent in Genetic Evolution. Ambitious at heart, he was an extremely complex and difficult person to deal with.

The Prince had privately attempted to win Jino over, but Jino staunchly held onto serving the Emperor and was unwilling to align himself with any prince, thus politely declining the Prince’s overtures.

Although the Prince didn’t say anything, he kept seeking opportunities to find someone to replace Jino’s position.

The last time, Long Yue, who was a retainer within the Prince’s Mansion, was sent to Purple Origin Star to replace Jino, but he was unfortunately killed by Yang Xiao.

Of course, the news received by the Prince was that Long Yue, while attacking the Wildmen, was accidentally killed in their resistance.

After this incident, the Prince, though rarely angered, was also powerless. At that time, he was still on Earth, overseeing its Super Gene Hunting Ground plan.

Just when the Great Dragon Empire had the upper hand on the Witch Star against the Snow Leopard Empire and was about to achieve significant victory, the neutral Youming Empire finally allied with the Snow Leopard Empire and declared war on the Great Dragon Empire.

The Great Dragon Empire faced significant danger.

At this critical moment, the Prince and others were summoned back to the Witch Star to counter the alliance of the Youming Empire and the Snow Leopard Empire.

The Eldest Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince, among others, took away hundreds of powerful individuals in Genetic Evolution, many of whom were brave and skilled warriors, and immediately joined the frontline battle upon returning to the Witch Star.

However, the Eldest Prince had another plan in mind. Under the strategic advice of the Prince Manor’s think tank, he proposed to his father the idea of creating a second battlefield on Purple Origin Star.

Purple Origin Star is a very important Crystal Stone mine source base. If the Youming Empire and Snow Leopard Empire’s control zone can be defeated there, it would greatly undermine the Youming Empire.

Therefore, the Prince hastily led the war generals from the Prince Manor to Purple Origin Star.

Jino led the Prince and others into the City Lord Mansion and gathered the main officials to meet the Prince while introducing the current basic situation facing Karachi City.

When describing the recent raid on White Elephant City, he only mentioned the destruction of the enemy’s transport ship and the killing of General Qiu Feng during the siege, without specifically mentioning that it was the Wildman King who killed General Qiu Feng with one strike.

In Jino’s view, it was necessary to withhold some information.

The Eldest Prince maintained a cold expression throughout, but his face changed when he heard that General Qiu Feng had been killed, looking at Jino in astonishment.

”You actually killed General Qiu Feng of the Youming Empire?”

”Alas, it was also a special situation. That night was chaotic, and we didn’t know how it happened. In the chaos, General Qiu Feng was killed. At the time, we were unaware. It was only later through a spy report from White Elephant City that we learned of it. Perhaps it was just his bad luck.”

”Haha, bad luck? Someone who had broken through to a High-Level Empire Gene was killed by you, and it’s just bad luck?”

The Eldest Prince was somewhat skeptical. He himself was only at the Intermediate Realm of Empire Gene, still far from breaking through to the Advanced Realm, so he naturally knew what it meant to kill a super strong person at the High-Level Empire Gene.

Jino hurriedly explained:

”We had four heavy warships executing the siege mission at that time. Presumably, that General Qiu Feng was accidentally hit by the firepower of the heavy siege warship, or perhaps he didn’t activate his Defense Light Screen.”

The Eldest Prince nodded and said:

”That could indeed be possible, otherwise, based on your abilities, it would be impossible to kill a super strong person at the High-Level Empire Gene.

By the way, I heard that you reached an agreement with the Wildmen and even allied with them. What’s going on?

We people of Witch Star have never compromised with the Wildmen of Purple Origin Star. This is an unwritten rule. How did it get broken here with you?

You seem quite proud of it?”

Jino felt a chill rise in his heart. Damn, this Prince was here to pick a fight!

”Cough, Your Highness, since our reconciliation with the Wildmen, the production of Crystal Stones has increased by 20%. Also, for the successful raid on White Elephant City, the Wildmen sent three thousand warriors, contributing greatly!”

”What you say is correct. In the short term, reconciling with the Wildmen has indeed brought you some benefits,

but have you considered that, if it weren’t for you making things convenient for the Wildmen, would they have risen?

Could they establish Wildman City?

Could they take over Fire Wolf City?”

Jino glanced at the Prince, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. The Prince was right, and he had indeed considered these issues.

However, cooperating with Yang Xiao had brought him enormous benefits both publicly and privately. His stance was different from the Prince’s.

Yang Xiao helped resist Long Yue, ultimately killing him, solidifying his position on Purple Origin Star, and the continuous increase in ore production enhanced his abilities in front of his superiors. And the recent successful raid was entirely thanks to Yang Xiao and the Wildmen’s efforts.

Without Yang Xiao’s assistance, Karachi City might have long been captured by Hai Mu and Aguda.

However, the Prince’s stance was different, and he believed that Long Yue’s death was also a source of resentment against Jino.

Jino looked at the Prince, gritted his teeth, and said:

”Your Highness, the Wildmen have been a great help to us. Without the support of the Wildman Tribe, I might not have held on until your arrival, and Karachi City and Pegasus City might have long been captured by the other side.”

The Prince finally sighed and said:

”I know it’s not easy for you to defend the city alone, to withstand the alliance of Hai Mu and Aguda, and even destroy the Youming Empire’s transport ship and kill General Qiu Feng, that’s an achievement.

What I’m talking about is your perspective, a dangerous perspective. Think about it, what if one day the Wildman Tribe becomes strong and turns against us, what then?

To put it bluntly, even if the Wildman Tribe turns against you now, you could be in danger, understand?”

Jino felt a chill rise in his heart and bowed his head, saying:

”This subordinate is ignorant and will follow the Prince’s orders in all things!”
