Chapter 995 Breaking the Minister's Knife

This little emperor, who was once an ignorant boy in his eyes, now openly challenged his authority and promoted a little-known newcomer Li Si to his equal position.

This is simply a great insult and provocation to Minister Ernest.

He asked himself that he had been struggling in this empire for many years, and had climbed to his current position step by step with his intelligence and tough methods.

However, this little emperor ignored his years of hard work and easily pushed a newcomer in front of him.

Minister Ernest's eyes flashed with anger.

He understood that once Li Si gained power, his power would be severely hit. He couldn't let his hard work go to waste like this.

So, shortly after the meeting, he immediately summoned his cronies and subordinates.

They gathered in a secret mansion, surrounded by a tense and depressing atmosphere.

Minister Ernest's voice was cold and firm: "We must do everything possible to suppress Li Si."

His words were filled with unquestionable determination.

"We cannot allow him to gain a foothold in this empire. Otherwise, once he gains power, our position will be in jeopardy."

After hearing this, the confidants responded in unison: "Yes!"

They know that Minister Ernest has an extremely powerful temper and skills. Once he decides to do something, he will use any means to achieve his goal.

What's more, they all know how much of a threat Li Si poses to Minister Ernest.

"The minister still controls the empire's killer organization."

A henchman whispered.

"This invisible blade is the most deadly! Can Li Si still escape this invisible blade?"

Minister Ernest nodded, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes: "That's right. I will let the killer organization attack with all its strength, and we must make Li Si disappear from this empire."

At this time, he must show his majesty, and there is nothing that can show his deterrence better than the killer organization.

Otherwise, the group of people under his command might become disloyal. Normally, Minister Ernest would not care.

But not now.

On the other side of the empire, in Li Si's mansion, the light and shadow were intertwined and the atmosphere was subtle.

A group of special guests, loyal supporters of Minister Ernest in the past, are now gathered together, with humility on their faces, trying to gain a chance of survival in front of Li Si.

Li Si sat in the main seat in the hall, his eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts.

He quietly looked at these people who had stood against him, but his heart was calm. He knew that these people were "smart people" in the officialdom and they knew how to survive in complex power struggles.

They once chose Minister Ernest as their backer in order to protect themselves, but now they came to Li Si one after another, trying to maintain their status by showing kindness.

Li Si did not directly reject them, nor did he express support.

He just smiled faintly, and then spoke slowly: "In this empire, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only eternal interests. If you want to keep your position, you must see the situation clearly and do what you want. Make the right choice.”

Although Li Si's words were plain, they were like a sharp sword, piercing the hearts of these people.

After hearing this, they all felt shocked and understood the deep meaning of Li Si's words.

They knew that Li Si was not joking or threatening them, but was telling them a cruel fact: in this empire, only interests are eternal.

As a result, they all expressed their willingness to support Li Si and work for him.

However, Li Si was not complacent. He understands that the support of these people is only a temporary choice driven by interests. Once the situation changes, they may betray him again at any time.

Therefore, Li Si did not regard these people as true allies, but kept a certain distance.

He knows that true allies are those who can face difficulties and share victory with him, not those who will only bow before interests.

"Ernest won't sit still and wait for death."

Li Si said confidently.

He knew very well how cunning and ruthless Minister Ernest was, and knew that he would use all means to suppress him. And the killer organization controlled by Minister Ernest is the sharpest sword in his hand.

Li Si naturally knew the power of this sword, but he was not afraid of it.

Instead, he wanted to break the sword and let the people under Minister Ernest see that he could fight against Minister Ernest and make them feel dissatisfied.

"No team, no force, can be intimate."

Li Si thought to himself.

Although Minister Ernest's faction and cronies are a powerful group, there are bound to be contradictions and rifts among them. As long as these cracks can be found, it is possible to defeat them in one fell swoop.

How could a mere killer trouble Li Si? He was a reincarnator.

Therefore, Minister Ernest sent out a killer organization, intending to use Li Si to show everyone the consequences of going against him.

However, Li Si's mansion is full of reincarnations, and once the telepathy is turned on, the killer can't hide.

Not to mention that they have seen the original plot and have an idea of ​​what methods these killers will choose. Most of these methods were directly abolished in the face of telepathy.

This made Onesta's cronies begin to waver.

Because they saw Li Si after Minister Ernest said he would send a killer organization to deal with him, they thought Li Si was dead.

As a result, after so many days, Li Si was still intact, not only that, he also hung the killer's body for public display.

This caused great psychological pressure on Minister Ernest and his faction's confidants.

They saw Li Si's strength, and also saw Minister Ernest's failure and powerlessness.

They began to doubt Minister Ernest's ability, and began to consider their own future and fate.

They knew that if they continued to support Minister Ernest, once Li Si successfully defeated him, they would also face a catastrophe.

Therefore, they began to contact Li Si secretly, hoping to get his support and protection.

Li Si did not directly accept the surrender of these people. He understood their thoughts and motives, and knew that they were not truly loyal to him.

Therefore, he adopted a strategy: neither completely rejecting them nor completely trusting them. He let them work for him, but at the same time kept a certain distance and vigilance.

Minister Ernest soon discovered that the situation had changed.

It seemed as if everything collapsed all of a sudden, which made Minister Ernest start to get anxious.
