Chapter 417 Narcissis

"How did you know that?" Fu Jin asked even he was not able to get to that kind of conclusion just from Ashton"s words.

"It is nothing but an a.s.sumption. But think about it. With these resources in hand, who would he fear in the underworld?" Jiang Yue smiled at him as she watched the confusion on Fu Jin"s face vanish. "He offended someone powerful. Someone capable of killing him and his family. Did you see the fear in his eyes when he was talking about the Vercello"s?"

"I noticed. I thought it is only normal since he was exposed to the things that the Vercello"s has done in the underworld."

"Nah... that was a different kind of fear." She explained before looking at her computer. "I am planning to make a trip to the headquarters of the Kim Empire after I talk to mother."

"I am fine now. We can go ahead and talk to mother as soon as possible," he said, feeling a little gloomy inside. The feeling of incompetence once again knocked his heart. For some reason, he was starting to feel that he was holding Jiang Yue back.

"What are you thinking?" She asked after sensing Fu Jin"s change of mood. Then, her eyes widened as she realized what he was thinking about. She immediately turned her body towards him and hooked her arms around his neck. "Jin… I am nothing without you. Always remember that!"

Seeing Fu Jin narrow his eyes at her, Jiang Yue immediately laughed. "Alright... That"s not true. Hahahah."

"Seriously… how could I accomplish all of this without you?" She beamed at him.

"Hmmmm… My handsome looks are indeed very beneficial."

Jiang Yue widened her eyes at her husband"s words. "Mr. Fu... I did not know that you had this side of you."

"What side?" He feigned ignorance. "Don"t tell me you were about to call me a narcissist?"

"Good guess!"

"Mrs. Fu… I am not a narcissist." He pursed his lips at her.

Once again, Jiang Yue laughed at his reaction. "Saying that you are not a narcissist just proves that you are one."

"Alright, Mrs. Fu… let me ask you this… do you know that a narcissist means loving oneself too much?"

"Of course!"

"Then, answer me… how can I love myself that much when I have already given every bit of love that I have to you?"

"..." Jiang Yue cringe at her husband"s words.

......

On the next day, Jiang Yue went to have a meeting with the ministers to inform them about her plans. However, to everyone"s surprise, Jiang Yue did not show her true self to the ministers. Instead, she used software that she was able to develop before. It was a hologram video calling software that could be used on a computer.

Everyone was surprised and was somewhat happy. They were already aware that Jiang Yue was Gideon"s heir. So, having her meant that they would also have that type of technology soon. Wouldn"t that make M Country even more powerful?

However, their excitement died down when Jiang Yue announced the objective of their meeting. And that was to make Secretary Jia the King. Everyone was wondering how could Jiang Yue do that when it was her who supposed to rule the country. Did Secretary Jia coerce her in doing that? Was she being threatened?

A lot of ministers eventually voiced out their dissatisfaction. However, in the end, Jiang Yue was able to suppress everyone with her quick wits and smart comebacks. Her reasoning was actually very simple and somewhat narcissistic.

She showed them what she could do and told them how they were unable to tie her when a world full of wonders was waiting for her talents out there!

Secretary Jia and the other ministers did not know if they should laugh or cry at Jiang Yue"s silly reason. Who else would use that kind of naive reason to escape being crowned as a Queen? Why did it seem that Miss Jiang was doing everything to decline that opportunity?

Did that mean that M Country was not wonderful enough in her eyes?

She was indeed very talented, however, they never thought that Jiang Yue would use such a reason to get away from them. But in the end, they were not able to refute her.

The ministers could only give Jiang Yue fake smiles and nod as she continued her explanation about the world"s great need of outstanding individual like her. Sweat started to pour from the old men and women backs as they realized something important from her words.

Why was Miss Jiang talking about the world"s problems? Was she trying to conquer the whole world?

In the end, was that the reason she refused such an opportunity to become their Queen? Was it because M Country"s richness and power were not enough to satisfy her?

...

Meanwhile, in the most prominent hospital in the West, a gloomy aura seemed to suffocate everyone in a meeting room. Everyone lowered their heads, unable to even glance at the fox-like man in front of them.

"So… you are saying that there is no way for us to branch out in the East now when the Li Family has been defeated?" He smiled at the older man to his left. His tone was gentle, however, coupled with his chilly smile and strong accent his words still sounded domineering.

"Yes, Mr. President. However, I have heard that the Kim Family encountered a big problem and was obliterated overnight… we could..."

"You mean that you want to take over the Kim Empire?"

"Yes, Mr. President, Sir."

"Hmmmm… I"m glad that you even thought of that." The man nodded. "Investigate the Kim Family"s death. They must have offended someone capable. We can"t offend that person. Also… send more spies to the Li Family and find out what has happened, why can"t we contact them? Why aren"t they talking to us?"

"And most importantly…" he narrowed his eyes at everyone. "Find out everything about Jiang Yue and Fu Jin."
