Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 3042 The Deception Of Prince Toby

Prince Toby and Rocco exchanged glances upon hearing Zedran's explanation. They nodded vaguely to signal agreement. Prince Toby feigned sleep and said casually, "This Chief Financial Officer is certainly a tactful one."

The Minister of Border Affairs had always been on Prince Toby's side. This was the naked truth known throughout Montiria. The manner in which Kainne seeks refuge through Zedran, ain't it a sign that he sided with me as well?

Brilliant!

As Prince Toby gave a deep thought to this, the corner of his mouth lifted in a gentle arc. A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Now that I have complete dominion over the military and the finances, the throne of Montiria is rightfully mine and mine alone!

The change in Prince Toby's expression was obvious to Zedran. When the epiphany struck him, Zedran immediately stepped forward to seek advice.

"Your Highness, my youthful Zedbar still lacks the experiences. Entrusting him with the leadership of this operation may not be the most prudent course of action.

Hence, I propose that Your Highness and Clarence take the lead in this."

"With the establishment of this formidable alliance, Matthew had no route to escape."

Rocco immediately knew that Zedran was playing with the door-in-the-face technique. When Rocco was about to form the agreement on behalf of Prince Toby, the prince preempted him.

"We can't do this, Mr. Zedran. Given the sincerity behind this gesture, might I suggest you graciously accept it? At the end of the day, we stand united in our cause. Let us not dwell on such matters." When Prince Toby had a grasp on Kainne's intention, he was all over the moon.

Now that I have the Chief Financial Officer to rely on, the allure of the 7.5 million doesn't seem to be as enticing as it was.

"Oh no, I shan't!" Zedran waved off. "The young man is incompetent. His failure to handle Matthew in previous events was evident. Should he falter once more, it will tarnish Your Highness' reputation." More than 20,000 troops were deployed to suppress the border and deter Seraphis, yet this action had caused little to no affection.

This used to be a major concern for Prince Toby, but not anymore.

"It's completely normal for young people to make mistakes. Having tasted shame fosters courage."

"It's a deal then! Zedbar shall join forces with Clarence. Pass this message to Zedbar. I anticipate auspicious news from him."

After all, the father and son are part of my retinue. Consequently, whatever is theirs is mine as well!

Prince Toby was enchanted with great joy. The smile on his face never faded.

"Well then... let me accept this honor on behalf of Zedbar. Thank you for this chance of redemption, Your Highness."

"If there are no further affairs requiring my attention, allow me to excuse myself. I shall make my way to Lord Kainne's residence."

"Go ahead! Send my regards to Lord Kainne. Hahaha," Prince Toby chuckled as he waved his hand.

The initial plan of visiting Lord Kainne together had slipped entirely from his mind.

Since he was now sure that the Chief Financial Officer was on his side, there was no need for him to let his guard up much.

On the other hand, Rocco had no chance to insert himself into the conversation.

All he could do was witness Zedran's manipulation of Prince Toby.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! If there are no additional affairs, I will then excuse myself as well."

Up until this point, Prince Toby was still lost in his delusions, unaware of Rocco's disdain.

Upon returning to his room, Rocco's face clouded with dismay.

"What a fool!"

"Dumb*ss!"

Even though the annexation plan hadn't yet been executed, he had come up with his own plan.

His initial scheme was to have Prince Toby secure this cooperative right. When the time arrives, he will devise a strategy to take down Matthew.

But as things took a turn, Prince

Toby had long been deceived by et

Zedran. He was unaware that he had relinquished his rights of cooperation.

That was a whopping 7.5 million!

On top of that, a broad smile illuminated Zedran's face when he walked out of the room.

His door-in-the-face technique had succeeded. Not only did Prince Toby forgive his past failures, but he also secured cooperation rights with Clarence, the manager of Montiria Bank.
