Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Chapter 320 Proceeding Slowly

Jiang Yu's visit to Keslan was not solely because she missed him.

She knew long ago that Keslan had made a deal with Emperor Turner to disband the Owls under his control.

It's understandable; this trump card is too weak to be safe, and it's hard to determine whether it's a trump card or a sharp knife for the royal family of the Ocean Empire.

Throughout Ryan's rule, he consistently pursued the policy of eliminating Keslan.

Before Turner ascended to the throne, he held goodwill towards Keslan. However, once he held supreme power, that friendship, whether genuine or not, became even more illusory.

Therefore, Keslan never thought of fighting back.

Only alliances formed through the exchange of interests are the most solid and secure.

Therefore, Jiang Yu's trip was also to find out how things were progressing in Keslan.

This guy had his subordinates use every means possible to leak information about him to her at any time; these pieces of information flew around like slips of paper. They included what he ate that day, what new clothes he wore, how he sighed and lamented about missing her while looking out the window...

There's nothing serious to report.

Turner was no pushover, and although Keslan wasn't exactly easy to deal with either, he was still one of her people, and she couldn't let him be bullied.

Keslan was taken aback by what he heard. He was reluctant to part with Owl because his brothers, knowing the inevitable separation, still worked tirelessly for him. Now, Jiang Yu's obvious concern was a warmth he had never felt before.

Concern from a loved one's perspective.

From family.

The consequence of moving the owl was that Jiang Yu was pulled into his arms and given a good rub.

Her once neat and tidy hairstyle had become a complete mess.

Finally, under her accusing gaze and murderous intent, Keslan calmed down and gave a thorough account.

It wasn't that he was being too tight-lipped; it's just that the details of his deal with Turner had changed several times. Both sides had bottom lines they couldn't compromise on and things they wanted to negotiate for.

Turner valued talent and intended to recruit some of the Owls, but Keslan was unwilling to let his men lose their freedom and serve the cannibalistic royal court.

If he can't get involved in the future, that black-hearted Turner will squeeze every last drop out of them!

According to Keslan's thinking, since Owl was considered a thorn in the side by the royal family because of him, it would be fine as long as he didn't become the leader.

On the other hand, the owl's size is indeed too large, and the concentration of so many top experts is certainly enviable and causes concern. In that case, it would be best to break them down into smaller groups, reducing their size, while still ensuring the brothers have a livelihood; this would be a win-win situation.

But Turner doesn't trust Owl, or rather, Keslan, to do the division to his satisfaction.

So it remained a stalemate for a long time.

"So His Majesty Turner finally gave in? Allowing the Grey Isle's sea beast group to remain under your command?" Jiang Yu was somewhat surprised; Turner wasn't usually someone who was easy to talk to.

"It's all thanks to your extraordinary divine messenger, who quietly resolved such a major concern for Turner," Keslan chuckled.

“It’s our home,” Jiang Yu corrected.

"Alright, alright," Keslan went along with her. "Our family's divine messenger."

"Moreover, Grey Island has refused to attend several meetings regarding the restructuring, and I can't even get in touch with it, which is giving Turner a real headache."

"Hahaha, the leader of Gray Isle is really amazing." Jiang Yu clapped his hands and cheered. He didn't expect that the seemingly stern leader of the sea beast group would be so stubborn.

"Stubborn mule," Keslan said with a laugh, but his tone was one of pride.

"Actually, there's another reason." Hearing Keslan say this, Jiang Yu became even more curious. There really are so many reasons behind every decision. Sigh.

“He stripped me of my power and left me all alone. What about the reputation of the Yuria family? After all, you are surrounded by top-tier forces. I was the last to join the family and the least favored by you. Now that I've been stripped of all my power, it's really embarrassing.”

Well, for the sake of face, leaving Keslan with a sea monster squad for protection, Jiang Yu thought to himself, how merciful, humph.

Gray Isle is exceptionally loyal to Kessel, so why not give Kessel face? Compared to other groups, leaving the Sea Beasts to Kessel is the most reassuring option for Turner.

Because Jiang Yu already has Moa, who dominates the ocean, Turner, a powerful force in the sea, has no way to intervene. No matter how powerful the Keslan Sea Beast Corps is, it is no match for Moa.

It looks good on the surface, but it's actually useless.

So Turner's scheme was truly disgusting.

However, the Sea Beasts had a deep bond with Keslan, and Keslan couldn't bear to part with them. It was perhaps a blessing that they could continue to follow Keslan.

"Turner has really accomplished a lot." Jiang Yu pursed her lips. At first, she had a good impression of this young emperor who was a hero, but the more she learned about his unfathomable scheming, the more wary she became of him.

In addition, he is now her best friend's husband.

She's not exactly nice to her best friend.

Tsk.

It's hard to have any good feelings towards them.

“But I have some good news that I think you’ll be interested in.” Keslan seemed to be drawn to Jiang Yu by a magnet, and now he was resting his head on Jiang Yu’s lap in a very comfortable position.

He had once secretly seen Lin Yi resting her head in Jiang Yu's arms, her slender, white fingers tucked into his hair, looking very comfortable. Lin Yi's relaxed and blissful state at that time left a deep impression on him, making him extremely jealous.

I don't know when it will be his turn.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly shuddered, because Jiang Yu's hand naturally rubbed the top of his head and then began to slowly massage him.

Jiang Yu was merely doing it on a whim, never imagining the complex emotions Keslan was going through, but she was genuinely interested: "Oh? His Majesty Turner? In what aspect?"

"Of course it's the progress of his relationship with your good friend, Lord Chen Xin!"

"Ah! Xin Xin hasn't told me much, she didn't mention it in the letter she sent. Tell me quickly, how are they doing?" Jiang Yu asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, it's good progress." Keslan thought to himself, after dealing with him for so many years, only he could see through Turner's growing interest in his future wife without being fooled.

“Turner is not opposed to Lord Chen Xin, but any substantial progress will have to wait until after they become partners.”

"I originally thought that after the sacrifice of divine light, the problem of the world's operation would be alleviated, and the curse of the Yuria family would also be reduced, but the information I received does not seem to be the case."

It's a pity that such a talented person is often envied by heaven.

Thinking of Turner's health, Keslan sighed and said, "I guess I couldn't hide it from you, but I'll still keep it a secret for Turner."

Jiang Yu nodded, putting aside other people's affairs, and suddenly blurted out: "There is nothing that is most unpleasant to me."

Keslan blinked, not understanding what she was saying.

Jiang Yu had no choice but to emphasize again: "You said you're the one I dislike the most, but that's not true."
