The original plan only required handing the letter to Latis, who would pass it to the Emperor of this country, securing the minimum position needed to complete the plan.
But Yang Yu still took the effort to chat quite a bit with Latis.
All this was to establish his image in Latis' heart.
Using Latis made Yang Yu feel a bit uneasy.
But apart from Latis, Yang Yu really couldn't find anyone more suitable.
According to Mr. Chilom, there are members of the Peace Faction in the Royal Family too, but because he is too handsome, he has always been neglected.
Having him lead Yang Yu and introduce him to others would have consequences far greater than imagined.
If the matter were exposed before the next step could be executed, the Royal Family member would be punished lightly with confinement, or severely with execution.
Thinking it over and over, only Latis seemed the most suitable.
Latis belongs to the Main War Faction.
Even if the matter is exposed, most people would only think she was deceived due to her Main War Faction identity.
Chilom used to be the Emperor's imperial chef and took care of Latis' meals, thus Latis had always tried to draw Chilom into the Main War Faction.
Now her wish was fulfilled, naturally putting her guard down towards Yang Yu.
Emperor Luo Hui also trusts the Main War Faction's Latis.
Seeing that Latis knew Yang Yu before and their relationship seemed good, Emperor Luo Hui assigned the task of accompanying Yang Yu on visits to her.
To fulfill the mission, Latis helped Yang Yu plan the visits and made contact with those to be visited ahead of time to prevent sudden disruptions.
Unfortunately, disruptions were non-existent.
Upon hearing that Yang Yu was Mr. Chilom's relative, who cared for Yang Yu like his own son, many nobles suddenly realized Yang Yu might become the successor of Chilom's Sweet Empire and canceled their plans, warmly welcoming Yang Yu.
Some even went further, preparing their daughters early… those without daughters even looked for daughters among distant relatives with the intention of forming relationships with Yang Yu.
A simple visit was turned into a large matchmaking scene by these opportunistic nobles.
Aside from being speechless, Yang Yu remained speechless.
Without the connection to Chilom, even if dressed like a successful person, few would pay attention to him.
However, if others could see his Gold Coin balance on the panel, they'd surely throw themselves at him.
Chilom gave so much that Yang Yu possessed wealth that could be enjoyed for a lifetime, as per a giant dragon.
The more nobles visited, the more Yang Yu lamented the reality of this world.
After five days of non-stop visits, Yang Yu finally reached the last stop of this journey under Latis' guidance.
—General Walshi's residence.
Due to prior notice, once Yang Yu and the others arrived, the butler led them into the living room.
In the living room, General Walshi and his two daughters had been waiting for some time.
After a round of cumbersome etiquette, Yang Yu courteously handed the gift to General Walshi:
"A small token, a mere gesture. This is a dessert prepared by Mr. Chilom, please enjoy it with the young ladies."
Yang Yu opened the panel, confirming the attributes of everyone present.
General Walshi was normal without any signs of being enchanted by an Enchanting Demon.
"Thank you…" General Walshi gently stroked his mustache and cast a sharp glance at Yang Yu, "I find you familiar, have we met somewhere before?"
Of course, during negotiations, I was right across from you.
Yang Yu certainly wouldn't say this but flattered, "I've never had the fortune to meet someone like the General before. If I were recognized and remembered by the General, it would be truly a blessing."
"Forget it, since I can't remember right now, let's not dwell on it."
General Walshi put down the hand stroking his mustache,
"I heard Chilom strongly recommends you to be the Vice General. It's not a role just anyone can assume. I'll test you with some questions. If your answers satisfy me, I'll acknowledge your becoming the Vice General."
Yang Yu smiled and said, "The Emperor has already asked me many questions. If the General wants to probe, I'm ready anytime."
Walshi's face showed no indication of emotion, responding:
"Hmm, very good. A person's tactical thinking can sharply reflect one's character.
Let's begin. Listen carefully, I'll say it only once, don't miss any question…
I despise those who are careless in considering tests as mere formalities."
Rodriza suddenly smiled and said to Yang Yu, "I'm sorry, my father is just like that. If he can't find a topic to talk about, he'll bring up something very solemn."
Walshi softly coughed, signaling Rodriza to stop talking. It was rare for someone to respond so straightforwardly and confidently, letting the topic continue wasn't bad.
Jin peeked out from behind Rodriza, her eyes landing on Yang Yu's gift, glancing for a moment, then quickly retracting, standing shyly as if afraid of making a mistake.
Yang Yu laughed, "This young lady need not worry, the General also has his concerns.
The upcoming discussion will be obscure and lengthy.
The young ladies might find it boring. Please enjoy the delicious cake with Latis and my three female companions and partake in conversations only young girls have.
I used to be an adventurer, these companions have been through life and death with me, you'll certainly hear some interesting stories from them."
Latis cast a glance at Bai Jin and the others. Such an important visit shouldn't have included extraneous attendants, but with Yang Yu's insistence, Latis allowed Bai Jin and them to follow.
This was the time when bringing Bai Jin and the others showed its benefits.
Latis and the Rodriza sisters knew each other from childhood and often chatted, having explored most topics.
This time, Bai Jin and the others' participation would inject fresh vitality into the conversations between old friends.
Latis laughed and said, "Long time no see, Rodriza, Jin, let's move aside and not disturb them."
Latis' suggestion left the Rodriza sisters without refusal, joining Latis to enjoy sweets and starting a young girl's tea party.
Walshi placed his hands on the table, gently tapping his right middle finger on the surface, continuously pondering on a suitable starting topic.
Yang Yu quietly sat beside, opening the team panel and watched Bai Jin, Iyas, and He Meng's panels.
The Rodriza sisters talking to Bai Jin and the others, one being an LV.9 Charming Girl and the other an LV.MAX Charming Girl, warranted attention.
