"Your Highness, are you thinking about giving that thing to him?" One of the Generals that was loyal to the Third Prince asked, slightly hesitant. 

"Do we have any other choice? No matter what I have to do, I won't lose to my sister and my Elder brother! This war... It's my opportunity! And I'll definitely prove myself! No one can stop me from reaching my goals!"

The Second Prince was the Crown Prince of the Sky Dynasty, more favored by the Emperor. At the same time, the Eldest Princess was said to be the strongest amongst all of the Emperor's children. Both of them had people that were only loyal to them. 

Even though the Third Prince didn't have as much influence as his two elder siblings, he had some forces of his own, thanks to his mother who was a part of the strongest family in the Sky Dynasty. 

It was only because of his mother's influence that he was still said to be in the race of the throne with the Second Prince and the Eldest Princess!

However, the competition between the siblings was not just about having loyal followers or powerful allies, but also about their own capabilities and strengths as leaders. 

No matter what, he didn't want to lose this race since losing it was worse than death for him!

Despite the pressure, he was determined to prove himself and show that he was worthy of ruling the dynasty. This was his only opportunity. Even if he had to give up his most precious treasures for victory, he was willing.

Back in the bar, Xu Shan was watching the revered glances from the soldiers of the Sky Dynasty. 

"If they find your real identity, I wonder just how amusing their expressions would be..." Xinren sat next to Xu Shan, laughing. "I didn't know this was so easy to fool people."

"When one is in distress, their mind stops working. They believe what they want to believe, to get out of the problem. I just used this opportunity," Xu Shan told Xinren, using his thoughts. "Now it's only a matter of time."

Just as he finished, he heard footsteps behind him. 

"And so they come." He patted his clothes, before adjusting his mask properly, before standing up. 

"I guess you have your answer by now?" he asked the two Generals who stood before him. 

"Our Prince has decided. He said that he would be willing to give you the Seed of Chaos, if you help him."

"Seed of Chaos?" Xu Shan was genuinely shocked within his heart. 

He had certainly heard what Seed of Chaos was! It was said that having a Seed of Chaos was like having a second life! It was something that almost everyone wanted! However, no one knew where it actually was!

There were also many rumored uses of the Seed of Chaos, but no one knew which of those rumors were true. One thing was for certain! A Seed of Chaos wasn't something that one could buy with money!

There were said to be only a handful of them in existence after all!

There were only rumors from time to time about its whereabouts! He was pleasantly surprised to hear that the Seed of Chaos was with the Prince of Sky Dynasty. If he could actually get the Seed of Chaos, then this was a perfect opportunity!

His heart was filled with greed. However, he maintained his calm. 

He finally had the opportunity that he needed, but it came with an extra benefit that he hadn't expected. He had access to the Commanding Ship, and he was being paid for that access!

It was as if a human was inviting a wild tiger into their house, and at the same time, paying them to come and destroy everything that belonged to them!

The two Generals brought Xu Shan out of the house. 

One of the two Generals brought out a small gem from his pocket. He sent a trace of his aura, which was verified by the stone. A formation circle appeared around the two Generals and Xu Shan. 

The next moment, the space around them started distorting. Everything turned white. 

Within a blink of an eye, their surroundings had changed. 

Xu Shan found himself standing inside the Ship of the Sky Dynasty, where every important decision was being taken!

Around him, he could feel many terrifying auras. It was a dangerous place, where a single mistake was going to cause his death. 

From a single glance, it appeared as if this army wasn't weaker at all. No one could have guessed that it was the weakest of the three s

Sky Dynasty Armies. 

Even in this place, he maintained his calm. There was not a single trace of fear in his eyes. Moreover, he made it impossible for anyone to sense his auras, which made the others also somewhat hesitant. 

No one knew just how old he was, or how strong he actually was. From an initial glance, they felt that Xu Shan was very young. However, they couldn't be sure about that. 

A man who could hide his aura so well could certainly make himself seem young. He was supposed to be a Spectator after all, who was there to keep an eye on them, without them realizing. 

"You're finally here! I've been waiting to meet a great man such as yourself!"

The Third Prince of the Sky Dynasty stepped closer, carrying two glasses of wine in his hand, since he had heard that Xu Shan liked it. 

Xu Shan raised an eyebrow in surprise, but he quickly regained his calm composure. 

"It is an honor to receive such kindness from Your Highness," he replied with a small smile. "However, I'm afraid that I can't accept any drinks. I've had enough."

The Prince awkwardly pulled back the glasses, not revealing any displeasure. He gave both the glasses to his servant. 

"In that case, shall we get back to the negotiations?" The Sky Dynasty Prince asked. "Can you really help me get the crown?"

Xu Shan smiled. "Don't worry. I'll make sure to get you to the place where you belong…"
