Chapter 699: Old thing, do you really think I'm a fool? (Seeking subscriptions

Things in the palace ultimately couldn't be wrapped in paper, and soon they reached the ears of Ivan, who was "recuperating" in the villa, through various secret channels.

At first, it was just sporadic rumors, and he could still deceive himself, thinking that those concubines were acting very realistically.

However, when the news became more and more detailed, even specific to which concubine was summoned when and for how long, Ivan could no longer sit still.

He is the retired emperor who feigned abdication but actually still secretly controls the imperial court!

He thought that a high-level expert like the Wu Ancestor, even if he was lustful, would have some scruples and maintain a surface reputation.

Who could have thought that this Wu Ancestor would be so unscrupulous, simply treating his harem as his own backyard, favoring whoever he wanted, and acting like an "emperor" in the Shenggong!

For Ivan, who has always been strong and regards women and power as his exclusive property, this is simply a tremendous humiliation!

Ordinary men being cuckolded once would be furious, but he has thousands of them!

This is no longer a problem of being cuckolded, it is simply that he has been dyed green all over, becoming an unprecedented "Cuckold King"!

Moreover, because the information was intentionally or unintentionally delayed, when he learned these news, many things had already happened for nearly ten days, the wood was already a boat, which made him feel a kind of rage of being fooled and unable to turn the tide!

"Urg! I swear to kill you!" Ivan was furious in the villa, his eyes blood-red, and he was about to gather the dead soldiers and experts he had secretly cultivated on the spot, regardless of everything, to kill back to the Shenggong and smash that Wu Ancestor who humiliated him too much into ten thousand pieces!

Just as he was about to be swallowed by rage and lose his reason, the ancestor Romanov appeared silently in the villa like a ghost.

"Grandson! What are you doing?!" Romanov shouted in a deep voice, and a gentle pressure instantly enveloped Ivan, making his manic aura stall.

"Ancestor! You still ask me what I'm doing?!" Ivan pointed to the direction of the Shenggong, his voice distorted by extreme anger, "That Wu bandit! He is in my harem... he has... this tremendous humiliation, how can you let me endure it?! I must kill him today!"

Romanov sighed, walked to Ivan, his tone carrying a kind of vicissitudes and coldness that saw through the world: "Those who achieve great things, how can they be constrained by children's private feelings and trapped by mere women?

An emperor should have the heart to tolerate the world, and also need to know how to weigh and trade! Things have come to this, the wood is already a boat; those women are just chess pieces on our chessboard, a bond to maintain the relationship with the Wu Ancestor!

Their 'sacrifice', if it can exchange for the Wu Ancestor's full support and help Daluo survive this crisis, is worth it! If you ruin the whole plan because of temporary anger, wouldn't it be losing the big for the small, and falling right into the trap of May Tian Ce and Xie Ergai?"

His long speech had the core idea of "endure," "overall situation is important," and "women are like clothes."

Ivan was persuaded and pressed by him, and the anger in his chest was like being splashed with a basin of cold water; although it was still burning, he had to forcibly suppress it.

He clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails deep into his flesh, blood flowing, and finally sat down dejectedly, letting out a low roar like an injured beast.

This aggrieved anger, he had endured enough!

Throughout history, there may be emperors who have been cuckolded, but being cuckolded so thoroughly, so aggrieved, and forced to endure, besides him, Ivan, I guess no second one can be found.

Seeing that Ivan was temporarily calm, Romanov comforted him a few more words and then turned and left.

However, not long after Romanov left, one of Ivan's trusted aides "arrived late" and reported a piece of news that had been deliberately blocked and delayed.

Regarding the Wu Ancestor's style problem of taking in thousands of beauties of all races in the cave heaven of the Wu Clan Holy Land, singing and dancing day and night.

Hearing this news, Ivan was stunned for a moment, then a terrifying fierce light shot out from his eyes, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his spirit!

"Romanov, you are so ruthless! You even calculated me together!" Ivan gritted his teeth, suddenly enlightened in his heart.

The Wu Ancestor is lustful by nature; he was like this in the Wu Clan Holy Land, Romanov couldn't have not known this intelligence!

He deliberately concealed it, inducing him to use the "beauty trap," simply calculating that the Wu Ancestor would go with the flow and indulge in lust!

And he, without knowing it, for the sake of the so-called "overall situation," personally sent his harem out!

When things were irreversible and he was furious, he jumped out to persuade him with "overall situation is important," making him swallow his broken teeth and blood!

All of this was in Romanov's calculations!

In order to stabilize the Wu Ancestor, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his dignity as an "emperor" and the entire harem!

"Old thing, do you really think I'm a fool?!" A monstrous resentment surged in Ivan's heart.

This news was blocked before, it must be Romanov's handwriting! The purpose was to let him complete this step of "inviting a wolf into the house" in ignorance!

So what if he knew he was calculated? Ivan's heart was full of powerlessness.

Now the Daluo Dynasty is precarious, with internal and external troubles; even if he hates Romanov again, he has to rely on this ancestor's power to stabilize the situation and fight against foreign enemies. ===== CHAPTER 700 =====
