So in his mind Eli was the culprit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been deceiving and fooling connor into telling him all his plans, so for him Connor was indeed a fool who would never harm him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the healers were finished with their work, James hurriedly called his second in command over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the men from Terique couldn’t really aid him in killing Eli anymore.... as Eli was presently around the heavily guarded Central part of Arcadina, James had decided to hire a professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How was it?\" He asked impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your highness...he agreed..... Mr. DEATH has agreed to see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha..... excellent!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I can get the number one assassin to kill that royal brother of mine, then I’ll finally be one step closer to the throne.\" James said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knight looked at him and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the way noble families were.... talk less of royals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone always wanted the throne, and killing for it was a normal phenomenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ermm... but do you think that he will agree?\" James asked anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your highness.... for me what I know, he only agrees to jobs that pay well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you have the money, then he will agree.\" The knight replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was indeed a problem for James.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he had spent most of his money in buying the loyalty of the citizens, as well as bribing the ministers and noble families..... So he was really low on cash now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like he would have to borrow it from his brother Connor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, he would’ve asked his mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ever since his useless sister Jennette died... his mothers situation had gotten a lot worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mean... if she wanted to die so badly, why couldn’t she have done it next year or the year after that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, father was displeased with mother.... so how could father favor him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His stupid sister had died and made his standing worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his mother who used to be smart, had somehow grown a melon brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dead can never come back, so why suffer yourself so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen his mother’s disgusting appearance a while ago, and immediately understood his dad’s point of view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugh... she looked hideous, and even the smell she oozed out could kill a rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was because he grew up understanding that women are beneath him, so he didn’t have any sort of special feeling for his mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, when he was younger, he could see her only about 4 times a week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, she was busy planning and scheming on how to be Alec Barn’s most favored woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now... she was almost a stranger to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway.... after thinking for a while, James immediately made up his mind to get the money from Connor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiring Mr.Death was the only way to guarantee Eli’s death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--Drapern City, The Empire of Arcadina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Connor was deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly while he was fighting at the borders, he met with no assassins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems like his brothers didn’t care to take care of him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that James wouldn’t do anything, but he was surprised that Eli didn’t attack him as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like he was the only one who was wary of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a bunch of Idiots!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes... during that time, he had sent assassins to both James and Eli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sent assassins to play with James, as it would be suspicious if both brothers died at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had hired them to break James body, so that he wouldn’t be able to walk around for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Eli, he had requested for them to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is plan was simple..... when Eli died and father saw that James was badly injured, father would have no choice but to make him the crown prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who would’ve thought that Eli would survive and ruin all his plans?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to think fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he had already got a reply from the number 1 assassin Mr. Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long story short, he also needed several bags of coins to please such a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he was somewhat short of cash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterall, he too had bribed people to his side a while ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reckoned that judging from the large sum of money used for his campaign... he would only be able to recover it all by the end of next year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gone all out, and at the end..... the crown prince was still Eli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a pity...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, he had concluded that he would borrow the money from his mother instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, Eli had to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, he was willing to spend any amount to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, both brothers had been granted an audience with the Famous Mr Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--WhiteWood City, The Empire Of Arcadina--\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While his brothers were busy plotting on him, Eli was rather relaxed as he was looking forward to something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he left the borders his men had told him about how they were disgraced by his bastard brother Landon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, he was still alive.... but thefunny thing was that he was now a bonnified savage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard that his clothes and shoes were so tattered that they looked like a dog had chewed on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he wanted to wait until he came back to the Capital before sendinghis men to attack Landon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his subordinates pleaded that they wanted to go ahead and deal with the brat., so he had sent them on their way with 1,300 men several months ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And judging form the distance from his camp, to Baymard....they shouldbe arriving anytime soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Finally, Baymard would soon be mine.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1542,"2026-06-03T07:55:13.591Z","2026-06-03T07:55:19.558Z",1,"novelbin.me","94b13023689d3d7ca8bb2a5bbc6e4a8845488f12cc660d26a9af50c46c14c178","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-209","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-207",1977,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-king-of-technology-cover.jpg"]
