Chapter 840: Coercion

“However, if Houshang cannot get what she wants… I will remain loyal to the royal family, but my child may kick up a fuss.”

“After all, Houshang is the next generation. Not only is she the best at shooting, but she’s also in charge of all the weaponry in the family.”

This statement from him was a threat.

Yin Lei frowned deeply. After some time, he dug his nails into his palms and made up his mind, “That’s fine. But if I do deliver Yexuan to you, then what? I can only make sure his illness takes over – I cannot control his mind or memory. What if when he wakes up and still refuses to be with you?”

“That’s not for you to worry about.” Xia Houshang said, “As long as the water’s under the bridge, it doesn’t matter who he loves. Knowing that woman’s personality, there would be no way she’d stay with him.”

Xia Shixiong gently coughed after she heard that.

Yin Lei’s frown deepened even more and he sighed, “Alright then. Then, I ask the royals’ weaponry situation to be helped out by the Xia family.”

“Of course.” Xia Shixiong said respectfully, “I promise you, on behalf of the Xia family, to serve you for the rest of my life.”

He then waved his hand and a subordinate walked in with a box.

Xia Shixiong opened up the box and took out a gun. He handed it to Yin Lei.

“Emperor Yin, this is the newest gun designed by Houshang. It’s a lot more advanced than all the previous models. Its power and flexibility are all up a level compared to what you have now. If you want it, we will mass produce it right away.”

Xia Shixiong understood how the world works. Yin Lei was an emperor after all and he shouldn’t be pressured too much.

After a slap, he deserved something sweet.

As expected, Yin Lei’s frown relaxed a lot.

He took over the gun and checked it out, “It’s not bad. However, compared to the gun I got from the God of Gun, it’s lacking.”

Those who really know guns don’t need to shoot them to know whether the design is good or bad. Looking at it alone was enough to allow them to distinguish the good from the bad.

Xia Shixiong’s face froze a little and he silently cursed.

However, he chuckled, “Though it’s not on par with the God of Gun’s design, compared to other countries, it’s top of the line. Plus, the God of Gun never mass-produce – his designs are always for personal use. So, there is no way you’d find his gun pinned against your head. What are you worried about?”

Yin Lei said, “Have you not heard the news from Country Ruan? It looks like they’ve started cooperating with the God of Gun.”

Xia Shixiong laughed at that, “Emperor Yin, you can say that lie as a joke, but you cannot take it seriously. If they truly started cooperating, then they would’ve attacked this country already. Why would they simply spread the message?”

“Everyone’s heard of the God of Gun. He’s very low key and he never participates in politics. Before, Country E offered to pay him half of the nation’s fund. In the west, Country Lan offered him a seat in the government with equal power. However, the God of Gun refused their offers. Why would he suddenly decide to collude with Country Ruan? The country that so happens to be the enemy of Country Xia? How’s that possible?”

Lei Yin’s suspended heart finally dropped. When he heard of that news, he didn’t think of it from that perspective.

Given his position, however, he always has a lot to worry about..
