Chapter 667: "Opportunist" Elsie

Chapter 667: "Opportunist" Elsie

In Westwind Prison, a new batch of convicts for reform through labor has been added.

This batch of convicts includes some from the Desert Kingdom and some from the elite infiltration group of Norma. However, this is not a problem for Westwind Prison, as it has had experience managing such "war criminals" and ensuring that they cannot easily escape.

As the setting sun glowed red, Robb sat lazily on his stone chair with his feet up.

In front of him was a crystal ball with the beautiful face of the queen inside. "I heard about the border incident," the queen's voice carried a hint of excitement. "You expanded the border of the kingdom of Gran more than a mile north. The people from the Desert Kingdom dared not move the border stela back on their own, so they sent people to negotiate with me, asking us to move the border stela back ourselves. Ha, it's really ridiculous. They moved the stela themselves, so why should we move it back? I showed them the video you gave me and gave them a good thrashing. The envoy had to leave in a huff. Hahaha, I can imagine the face of the pharaoh turning red with anger. Thank you so much for this."

Robert shrugged. "Is that genuine gratitude or fake gratitude? Verbal thanks mean nothing. Give me some tangible benefits."Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

The queen immediately looked wary. "If you want money, I don't have it. If you want my life, I'll give it to you."

"Pfft! That's obviously fake thanks," Robb retorted. "Usually when a woman thanks a man, she promises something more intimate. But in the end, you don't want to give anything, not even a hundred dollars."

Promise something more intimate? The queen thought to herself, [I'm willing to promise, but are you willing to take it? If you marry me, I'll immediately become coquettish and ask you to help me unify the kingdom of Gran. Let's see how you stay a lazy bum.]

Of course, this thought could only be kept to herself. The proud queen would never admit to having such thoughts about anyone. She gave him a calm look and said, "You are also a citizen of my Kingdom of Gran. What's wrong with expanding the territory for the kingdom? As the kingdom grows stronger, it benefits the people, including you. Don't act like you gained nothing from the expansion of the land."

Robb muttered, "Actually, I really haven't gained anything."

The queen didn't want to argue about this anymore, lest Robb trick her into giving him money. She quickly changed the subject, "I heard that you destroyed the Tree of Life and created a giant wave that turned over a mile of desert into a beach, instantly depriving the sphinx of all its power."

The queen had no choice but to say, "Then I'll talk to Elsie about these things. Since you don't want to deal with it, I'll teach Elsie how to handle it."

Robb smiled, "Oh, you're planning something evil. You're exposed."

The queen was slightly surprised, but not ashamed. "What? Don't want me to take over your subordinates? Then manage them yourself! If you're too lazy to take care of them and don't let others intervene, then things will only get worse."

"Who said I wont let you intervene?" Robb laughed. "I just pointed out your conspiracy, but I didn't say I would oppose you implementing it. Do whatever you want. But you don't understand Elsie well. He's a cunning and slippery person, and you won't be able to win him over no matter how hard you try."

Queen squinted her eyes and said, "Strange, I've heard that Elsie is a slippery and unscrupulous guy who goes with the wind and has no principles. He's a typical opportunist who will go wherever there are benefits. Why do you think he would be loyal to you? I feel that someone like him can easily be bought by a little bit of benefits."

Robb replied, "The phrase 'goes with the wind' is not wrong, but precisely because he goes with the wind, he will firmly stand on my side in this storm. Someone as soft as you, like a gentle breeze, is not enough to make him go with the wind."

"Humph!" The Queen felt uncomfortable being described as a soft breeze. She had always thought of herself as a strong and brave woman who was not inferior to men. "Well, let's just wait and see."

Starting from the second evening, the Queen began to use a crystal ball to spy on Elsie, but she soon discovered that no matter what he did, he always considered Robb's opinions first. Indeed, this guy's "going with the wind" was in the direction of Robb's strong winds.
