Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Rast was frustrated, regretting why Soren had discovered his weakness. He had just been cornered by Soren; why hadn't he been more careful and cautious?

At the same time, he felt deep jealousy towards Soren, envying him for possessing the position of Crown Prince and envying the power he wielded.

"Am I just going to be manipulated by him like this?" Rast asked himself inwardly.

He felt like prey targeted by a hunter, with a pair of eyes watching him from the shadows no matter where he went.

That killing intent was gradually replaced by fear. He worried that Soren would really mobilize the Shadow Guards and Cabrones to thoroughly investigate everything about him.

He began to consider his escape routes. Those hidden handles were like bombs that could explode at any moment, and he had to find a way to dispose of them.

Rast gritted his teeth and vowed inwardly that he must never let Soren seize any leverage over him.

He knew that once Soren grabbed his pigtail, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even if it meant paying a huge price, he would eliminate those hidden dangers that could threaten him.

However, when he thought of that thing, his heart was filled with entanglement.

He really couldn't bear to dispose of it, because as long as he continued to control that thing, the benefits would be countless.

Not only could he possess the stunningly beautiful Princess Winna, but he could also obtain a continuous stream of cultivation resources from the Crodo family.

These resources were crucial to his cultivation, guaranteeing his continuous improvement in strength.

With the full support of the Crodo family, Rast seemed to see a bright path to the throne unfolding before him.

In his opinion, there was still a chance to compete for the high and mighty throne in the future.

This warning from Soren, like heavy shackles, completely shrouded Rast in Soren's shadow.

Especially under the hypnotic influence of the Endless Blade, Rast was in a state of high tension every day for the next few days.

He was always suspicious, feeling that every corner around him might be hiding Shadow Guards or Cabrones's eyes monitoring his every move.

In an accidental encounter, Rast unexpectedly met a Shadow Guard.

This encounter further convinced him that Soren had already sent people to monitor him secretly, and fear continued to spread in his heart.

In fact, Soren did not have the ability to mobilize the Shadow Guards and Cabrones's people. The accidental encounter with the Shadow Guard was arranged by Soren to deepen his paranoia.

In stark contrast to Rast's trepidation, Princess Winna appeared particularly calm.

She knew very well that once that key thing was exposed, both her sisters and the Crodo family would be doomed.

For her, there was no essential difference whether the thing was in Rast's hands or in Soren's hands, because neither of them would easily give up such a powerful help as the Crodo family.

Based on her understanding of Soren, Princess Winna knew that this Crown Prince was an ambitious person who would never let go of any people or resources that could be used.

Just like when Soren chose to be adopted into the name of Empress Maria, he had accurately seized the opportunity.

He understood that if he continued to stay by Empress Maria's side, he would never have a chance to rise, so he decisively seized this opportunity to change his fate.

An ambitious person like Soren would definitely not give up this excellent opportunity since he had already discovered a handle that could manipulate her sisters and the Crodo family.

Now that Soren can have such a great power in the imperial capital, on the one hand, it is because he himself does have outstanding abilities, and on the other hand, it stems from the support of those forces behind him.

Among the four ministers, Minister of Military Affairs Beryl, as Soren's teacher, naturally fully supported him;

Minister of Finance Horns and Minister of Special Affairs Reineski also had close relationships with Soren, forming a close community of interests.

Minister of State Neumann, although he did not publicly express his support for Soren, no longer clashed with Soren in public.

The relationship between the two sides gradually eased, which can actually be seen as a default.

Among the other great nobles in the imperial capital, the Vera family had completely defected to Soren's faction.

Not to mention the Harron family, who now regard themselves as Soren's maternal clan, and the family's ancestor has broken through to the Holy Rank, making this family infinitely glorious for a time.

The Box family has also recently strengthened its ties with the Harron family, and has faintly shown its intention to stand with Soren.

Once Soren successfully takes down the Crodo family, the support he will gain in the imperial capital will account for one-third of the imperial capital.

At that time, unless he himself is betrayed and deserted by his followers, it will be difficult for anyone to shake his position as Crown Prince.

"He will definitely not let go of this opportunity," Princess Winna made this judgment after a quick analysis.

At the same time, she secretly made up her mind that once Soren got that key thing, she would not hesitate to have someone deal with Rast as soon as possible, even if it caused an uproar in the palace.

His demeanor was elegant and appropriate, and he was chatting happily with the ministers.

Reineski said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are joking again. Cement is an extremely valuable resource, so it should naturally be used to enrich the national treasury first. His Majesty's Winter Palace happens to need repairs, so it is perfect for that."

Before Soren could refuse this proposal, Neumann shouted loudly: "No! The renovation of the shantytowns in the West District has already begun to show results. I am planning to promote it to the shantytowns throughout the imperial capital. Such an important resource should of course be used for the renovation project in the imperial capital."

Horns also said to Soren with a smile: "Your Highness, why not hand over the production method of cement to the Finance Department? Let the workshops of the Finance Department produce it, so that we can definitely expand production."

Reineski and Neumann shouted in unison: "No!"

Reineski's reason for refusing was simple. He believed that even if the cement formula was to be handed over, it should be handed over to the Special Affairs Department, and it would not be the Finance Department's turn.

Neumann's reason for refusing was even more direct. If it was handed over to the Finance Department for production, then they would have to spend money to buy cement in the future. How could he get it for free?

Seeing this, Soren quickly said: "Three adults, don't get excited. I will report this matter to my father and let my father make the decision."
