Chapter 344: Mr. Door Has Been Corrupted

Lynn naturally approved of Trunsoest, the Night Emperor's idea of replacing Tudor to become the new supported party of the three families. This was not only harmless to him but also held many benefits.

For example, it could surprise Amon, who was preparing to switch allegiances.

When the Night Emperor Trunsoest turned to seek support from the three families, the six gods, to cope with the pressure from Solomon, the True Creator, the God of Death, and others, would inevitably seek new supporters. This could lead to two scenarios: First, the six gods choose a new Sequence 0 to support.

Second, the six gods turn to support the Blood Emperor Tudor, who is abandoned by the three families.

Honestly, the first scenario is unlikely. Given the current era's situation, fostering a new Sequence 0 in a short time is incredibly difficult. The emergence of God of Craftsman was an unexpected anomaly, and even the six gods would find it hard to foster a Sequence 0 in such a short time.

As for the second scenario, Lynn was very curious. If it came to that, would Adam continue to support the Blood Emperor Tudor?

'And if the six gods choose to support Tudor, the people I dislike will be in the same group...' Lynn muttered to himself. He didn't dislike many Sequence 0s, just a few, including the Blood Emperor Tudor, the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Primordial Demoness, and the God of Death.

Regarding others, Lynn didn't particularly dislike them, though he wasn't fond of them either.

Once Tudor embraced the six gods, considering Tudor's collaboration with the God of Death, the people Lynn disliked would be united, except for the Primordial Demoness.

'Go for it, Trunsoest!' Lynn instinctively cheered in his heart for the Night Emperor wielding his spade. However, he didn't forget that Bethel, as one of the last conscientious members of the three families, had not yet decided to abandon Tudor. He hesitated, glancing at Bethel several times.

Mr. Door, feeling uneasy under Lynn's gaze, sighed helplessly, roughly guessing what Lynn was thinking. He spoke, "If it comes to that, I won't sink with Emperor Tudor, but until then, I don't want to easily abandon him."

"Bethel, you have too much conscience. Look at Amon, already seeking a new allegiance. What exactly is worth your loyalty in a madman like Tudor?" Lynn wasn't surprised by this response and muttered in slight disappointment.

"Emperor Tudor..." Bethel's face showed a hint of complexity. He seemed to recall something and after a while said, "He wasn't always like this. Tudor used to be quite charismatic... Sometimes I think that becoming a Sequence 0 and turning into a lunatic might not have been good for him."

Lynn looked at Bethel for a moment, not surprised by his words.

He believed the former Tudor was likely charismatic. Without charisma, he wouldn't have become Solomon's right-hand man, Trunsoest's accomplice, and gained Adam's support.

But Lynn didn't care about that. No matter how charismatic Tudor was, it had nothing to do with him. He didn't know Tudor from that era, and the mad emperor Tudor was his enemy.

So, Lynn simply looked at Bethel and, after his emotional moment passed, said, "Bethel, even if you don't want to seek a new allegiance early, isn't it possible to bluff Trunsoest a bit?"

Bethel was momentarily stunned and looked at Lynn with a peculiar expression.

"Well, not bluffing per se. It's about considering new management before jumping ship..." Lynn continued calmly, "You could take your time, maybe until Tudor's ship sinks."

Bethel's mouth twitched. He couldn't help but say, "You mean I should use this as an excuse to gain Trunsoest's support?"

Clearly, Mr. Door was sharp, quickly understanding what Lynn wanted him to do.

"Not exactly deceive. You're a top talent, Bethel. Many Sequence 0s would want to recruit you. If Trunsoest wants to recruit you, he should show some sincerity, right?"

Lynn spread his hands, smiling at Bethel. "And if he truly wants to break free from the six gods, he should make an effort."

Bethel found himself at a loss for words. His rational mind told him Lynn's words were nonsense, but another part of his mind insisted Lynn made sense.

If the Night Emperor Trunsoest truly wanted to break free from the six gods and recruit the three families, he should make some sacrifices.

And if Tudor's ship did sink, he could indeed turn to Trunsoest.

After all, Mr. Door had no deep-seated enmity with the Night Emperor.

"But..." Azik cautiously interjected, hesitating before continuing, "This is all speculation. What if Trunsoest has no such intention..."

"Then it doesn't matter!" Lynn looked at Azik and replied cheerfully, "We're just discussing a possibility..."

He then looked back at Bethel and said, "And if Trunsoest really intends to switch allegiances, we'll know at tonight's banquet."

"If he truly wants to switch sides, he will come to us."

...

It turned out that Bethel's guess was correct. That evening, when Lynn and his group, disguised under aliases, sneaked into the imperial palace of Trunsoest and mingled with a group of inconspicuous nobles, a servant quietly approached them.

"Viscount Enlin, His Majesty wishes to see you."

The servant bowed respectfully and quietly invited Lynn while saluting.

Lynn, slowly sipping a glass of juice, glanced at him without rushing to respond. He casually looked around the main venue of the banquet. The banquet had just started, and most important figures had yet to arrive. Only a few major nobles were present.

After scanning the room, his gaze briefly paused on Artisan, who had arrived early after receiving his message and was now bored, counting his fingers. He then withdrew his gaze.

Finally, he looked at Bethel and Azik beside him. After exchanging a glance with Bethel, he slowly put down his juice and smiled, "It will be my honor."
