Chapter 119

Ben gritted his teeth, squeezing out a "uhuh" and then didn't say anything else.

"What exactly is your plan?" Although Camille had guessed the gist of it, he still asked.

"First, we must leave a deep impression on everybody in the capital. Since even the prince will be coming along with that so-called beauty, naturally, many noblemen will be going." Before Claire finished, Camille already understood fully.

"At the convention, the Li clan will present an incredible treasure, then announce that the Li clan has numerous amounts of it. A stunning beauty, treasure, these will attract all gazes towards the Li clan. At that time, naturally, many people will come knocking on the door, some for treasure, some for the beauty," Camille said in a low voice. "But there's a limited amount of treasure. Even if we sold them all, it wouldn't be sustainable economically."      

"Yes. The next step would be to open up to the market. The Feng clan has basically everything underfoot: clothes, food, appliances, decorations. The Li clan is known best for its forging weapons, right? But then that position was taken by the Feng clan, so your smithy was closed down," Claire said with low voice. "Then let's first focus on forging weaponry. There are many adventurers so the demand is high. Also, if we're able to obtain the right to be the supplier of the royal army, then as one can imagine, the profits would be huge."    

Li Yuewen and Li Mingyu sucked in a deep breath. How ambitious!

Right to be the supplier for the royal army? This was originally the right of the country's own weapon forgers, but later, the Feng clan had obtained the right through unknown means. Would it be so easy to take away from the Feng clan?

"That.. seems too difficult, a bit improbable." Li Yuewen bit her lip.

"The Li clan's forging is worse than the Feng clan's?" Claire sneered.

"That's impossible! Even if our Li clan sunk any lower, we would still be the country's number one!" Li Yuewen stood up emotionally, banging the table with a fist.

"So how do you know without trying?" Claire smiled coldly, a profound gleam in her eyes. "Since I've made my decision, I'll carry it out properly." Claire curled her lip. Who else could do it besides her?

"Give me information about the prince too," Claire added with slitted eyes. If she wanted to have the right of being the weapon supplier, then it would be fastest to first attract the emperor and crown prince's attention. Naturally, before this could happen, she needed to have a better understanding of the prince, such as his weak points, not just how much power or property he owned, or some kind of secret, strange hobby. Even though she didn't want to become intentionally seductive for everybody to see, but the more she thought about it, it was just for a short while. Afterwards, nobody would know. Once the effects of the potion were gone, nobody would be able to find her, disappearing mysteriously. People were strange beings; the more mysterious something was, the more they would chase after it. It was time for the Li clan to become the focus of attention.   

Since they had finished making their decision, then they would start!

And the target was the biggest catch, the crown prince!

Once Claire obtained the information about the crown prince, she had a bit of a headache. He was practically perfect! Whether it was appearance, strength, morales, prestige, he was completely impeccable. He didn't have any unhealthy habits or hobbies and nothing he particularly liked.

Claire threw the data onto the table and leaned back in her chair. Just because the data indicated so didn't mean that the crown prince didn't have any weaknesses. All humans have weaknesses. As for what it was, she would have to find it herself.
