"It has been a long time since I have seen the nobles of Shangjiang come so much. I should thank the arrival of Holy Lord Bella. The holy light of the city in the clouds still shines on this city. Tonight, please drink with all your heart. I hope that each of you will be carried back by your servants."

After a burst of laughter, Duke Howard raised his wine glass and shouted loudly: "Treat Your Majesty!"

"Respect your Majesty!"

The banquet officially began. After seeing the Holy Angel with his own eyes, the nobles of Shangjiang City were the happiest groups. Now that Joshua and Howard have both arrived, it is almost certain that the infighting in Shangjiang area is about to end.

While the nobles celebrated in advance, a meeting of the imperial court was held in another room under the auspices of Tokai Neptune.

At that time, all the people who surrounded Shangjiang Power Circle participated, including Daliang, who was inexplicably brought in.

The angels of Shangjiang City stood behind King Donghai, setting off the power he possessed. The city lord and ministers sat on both sides according to their status and identity.

Saint Bella sat aside as a accompanying listener and witness. She comfortably placed her left leg on her right leg, slowly ate the fruits and vegetables on the plate beside her, her expression full of contempt for this struggle of power, and her eyes despise everything about the main world.

After a violent cough.

Donghai King showed his majesty and said, "We haven't sat together for a long time. Some unpleasant things have caused a gap between us, but you should not want to see Shangjiang continue to split like this. This will only weaken us and give foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Today, with the help of the Holy Bella, I sincerely invite you to come, willing to let go of all grudges and discuss with you the way to resolve the current situation in Shangjiang, a way to unify Shangjiang without war.

Joshua, your city is already upgrading. I allow Chongming City to be upgraded to level 12 and retain the existing Dragon Army. But I cannot promote you to Duke, because there is only one Duke, which is my younger brother Howard.

What other requirements do you have?

I try my best to promise you that I only have your loyalty, to me, to the future Tokai Neptune."

Joshua said: "Your Majesty, I think I am a small character now. If you can convince the Duke to return to Shangjiang City, I... have no choice."

Faced with the first question, Joshua wisely kicked the ball back to King Donghai. Now Chongming City has a powerful dragon army, but it belongs to the weakest war potential. If King Donghai fights Howard, he can deal with it; if Howard returns to Shangjiang City, it will be useless to struggle in Chongming City.

Joshua did not express his opinion, and Neptune had to look at Howard. Although the two of them could still show closeness on the outside, they actually had a huge gap.

"Howard, you're willing to come back."

Duke Howard said: "I always want to come back, but there is one thing I have to ask clearly. In Songjiang, who assigned Wilson to poison me?"

The entire venue suddenly became cold.

For a long time, most people believed that Howard had stayed in Fengxian City for rebellion and had his own troops, but he did not expect that he would not return to Shangjiang City because he was assassinated. Only two people in the venue could be able to assassinate Howard by sending an important official like Wilson to assassinate Howard.

One is Joshua, who had long been in secret with Wilson, and the other is King Donghai.

Even Joyce, who knew something, only made a little guess through Daliang's description. No one knew the real situation at that time. The only person who could give the most accurate answer was Tohoku.

Everyone looked at Tohoku.

Howard was his younger brother, the most trusted hero in Shangjiang City. He fought for this city all his life. It was precisely because of his existence that Joshua dared to rebel after mastering five cities.

If the incident happened in Songjiang, it should be when Howard was seriously injured. He was also in danger for the city at that time. If King Donghai really sent Wilson to assassinate Howard at that time.

The last little prestige of Donghai will disappear.

Those who sit here are all people with real power in Shangjiang. They are all waiting for the answers of Donghai King. Even the Saint Bella, who is sitting by the side, is very curious about the answers.

The only person who didn't look at King Donghai was Joshua, who should be the closest to the truth.

Donghai King sat there expressionlessly, and after a while, he said, "Actually, you have guessed the answer, why bother ask again? Yes, I sent Wilson to poison you, because I think you are the biggest hidden danger in this city."

"Because William?" Howard asked.

King Tokai did not deny: "As a father, I know that William's character is difficult to become a wise king, but he is my son and the legal heir of the city after all. And you, my brother... before William has his own descendants, you were the second heir. Listen to the cry you caused by entering the palace as an enemy? How can I die with confidence and pass the throne to William?"

"So, you're going to kill me?"

"I know this is a stupid method, not a wise king. At the moment of this determination, I am just a father. Howard, think of a way for me to be sure that you will not threaten William's throne and let me die with confidence."

Howard said: "I will not make any promise to you, it has nothing to do with whether you assassinate me or not. I belong to this city, and this city is facing too many crises. If William can be the king, I will do my best to assist him. If he is not competent, I will replace him."

Donghai King coughed violently again: "It's time now, are you not willing to say even your promise to perfunctory me?"

"Your Majesty, you know me. I never promise anything easily, but once I promise, I will do it. Sorry, brother, William is far from meeting the requirements I promised you. In fact, all the root causes of the current situation in Shangjiang is William. Everyone who is sitting in the city was invincible under your leadership. We have never encountered an enemy, whether at sea or on land. The Vow is the strongest warship in the entire Western Pacific.

But now Jeju City dares to compete with us for the East China Sea, which was unimaginable in the past.

I really hope that Shangjiang will be strong again. But as your only son, William cannot take on the responsibility of leading these strong people."

King Tokai looked at Howard and asked sternly: "So, you still have some intentions for the throne."
