Chapter 654: Watch!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Karl’s arrogant appearance was really annoying, so Jing Zhen became angry.

At this moment, Chu Cichen raised his eyebrows and said, “Indeed, the Chu family is a small clan, and we don’t have access to such information.”

Seeing his admission, Karl laughed. “Mr. Chu is really sensible. In that case, you might as well seek help from my family next time. Perhaps if I’m in a good mood, 1 might tell you. If Mr. Chu had come to ask me, 1 definitely wouldn’t have held back.”

Chu Cichen’s words only made Jing Zhen feel more dissatisfied.

Jing Zhen’s peach blossom eyes stared at him angrily, displaying his displeasure.

He thought to himself, ‘If you really don’t know and if you’re not clear about the situation, you could have asked me. Why didn’t you say anything?’

And looking at how modestly this palace banquet was being held, it was not at all in the style of their Country As royal family.

…..

(When the people from the Loong Corporation arrive, will they think that we’ve neglected them?)

While Jing Zhen was pondering, Chu Cichen smiled and said to Karl, “Mr. Karl, there’s no need for that, after all, I’ve checked with my father-in-law.”

Karl.”?”

Jing Zhen.”?”

Both were confused as they looked at him, and Chu Cichen casually explained, “I’ve already asked my father-in-law, and he said that it was just a false piece of information released by the Loong Corporation. My father-in-law has accurate information that the founder of the Loong Corporation doesn’t like watches at all.”

Karl sneered, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Karl then looked at Jing Zhen. “Your Majesty, is this really the information obtained by the royal family? 1 know the royal family is no longer as glorious as it once was, but are you really so far behind us in terms of intelligence?”

Jing Zhen’s face darkened.

Of course, he had sent people to investigate the Loong Corporation and the information he had obtained was the same as what Karl had learned. Loong’s Eastern Dragon did indeed have a fondness for watches.

Now that Chu Cichen claimed that he had found out otherwise, Jing Zhen couldn’t refute him in public and could only reluctantly accept it.

If Eastern Dragon didn’t come today, they could still confidently claim that their intelligence was the most accurate, and the royal family wouldn’t really be inferior to the Karl family.

However, the other party was coming soon.

Was there any point in lying like this?

Jing Zhen thought so, but he didn’t show it on his face. Being a former actor, he wore a confident smile. “Who has made an error in intelligence is still uncertain. Mr. Karl, isn’t it a bit too soon to draw conclusions?”

Karl knew that Jing Zhen was just stubbornly insisting, and Karl didn’t want to argue with him further. “Fine, since Eastern Dragon is coming today anyway, we can ask him directly, and we’ll know the answer. There’s no need for us to have a war of words here.”

Jing Zhen sneered and calmly looked away, pretending to give instructions to someone nearby.

This demeanor confused many of Country A’s noble families who had come today.

So, did His Majesty really receive the news that Eastern Dragon didn’t like watches?

Could it be that their Country A royal family’s intelligence department was actually stronger than Karl family’s?

A group of people thought so and couldn’t help but look at Jing Zhen.

Jing Zhen saw their gazes but avoided them. At this moment, he was cursing inwardly, thinking that Chu Cichen was utterly unreliable. He decided that he would never entrust such important matters to him again.

Shen Ruojing, on the other hand, didn’t think so much. She glanced at Chu Cichen and knew from his calm tone that he must be confident about the matter.

After all, he was someone from the Loong Corporation, so he would naturally know what their leader liked the most.

Considering the low profile of the Loong Corporation and the fact that Eastern Dragon’s fondness for watches was something that every family could find out, there must have been a problem. Maybe it was indeed just a false signal, as Chu Cichen had said.

Understanding this, Shen Ruojing didn’t worry at all.

After waiting for a while, Jing Zhen stood up and said, “1 need to change my clothes.”

He then walked toward the resting room in the back, and as he passed by, he glanced at Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen.

Shen Ruojing followed him with Chu Cichen.

As soon as they entered the royal resting room, Jing Zhen angrily scolded, “Chu Cichen, what have you done? How could you be so careless about this matter? Do you know that the Karl family has always been competing with our Country A’s royal family? Apart from the King’s Group, our two major families are vying for the title of second place. The Karl family boasts about its strength and relies on Country Y to wield power. Our Country A’s royal family has never had a big fight against them. Now, aren’t you just handing them ammunition?”

Jing Zhen was furious, and as he spoke, it felt like a burst of flames was spewing from his mouth, making Chu Cichen touch his nose.

Shen Ruojing stood in front of Chu Cichen and said, “Dad, Eastern Dragon definitely doesn’t like watches. Don’t worry.”

Jing Zhen immediately looked at Shen Ruojing with a dismissive expression. “You’re really blinded by love. Do you believe everything he says? Never mind, I’d better hurry up and have someone find a watch.” Jing Zhen turned and left the room after speaking.

Shen Ruojing shook her head slightly and looked at Chu Cichen. Just as she was about to say something, the door was pushed open again.

Yan Zixuan walked in with an unhappy face. As soon as he entered, he immediately looked at Chu Cichen. “You’re really useless..”
