The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

Pei Hongshou wiped the water off his face, turned around, raised his chin slightly, glanced at Ai Wanxin and said coldly: "You are smarter than I thought, little girl. I thought you relied on my stupid son, and--"

He glanced at Yin Yanhan and Qiao En.

"Those high-ranking sentinels around me won by chance, but it seems I was wrong."

Pei Hongshou walked out of the bathroom and stood in front of Ai Wanxin.

"However, if you want me to support you as the leader of the alliance based on just a few photos, a few words, and one-sided statements, I'm afraid it won't work."

"You have to promise me one condition."

Ai Wanxin asked curiously: "What are the conditions?"

"I want you to marry Junlin."

Before Ai Wanxin could say anything, Qiao En behind her scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can marriage be used as a bargaining chip?"

Yin Yanhan grabbed Ai Wanxin's wrist with such force that she felt some pain.

Ai Wanxin patted the back of Yin Yanhan's hand with her other hand to calm him down, and said with a smile: "What era is it now? Do you still want an arranged marriage?"

"Besides, I think you should worry more about your health than whether we get married or not, right?"

Pei Hongshou's face darkened: "What's wrong with my body?"

Ai Wan tilted her head in confusion: "Can't you feel it? It seems that only your skin has become younger, but your internal organs are still as old as before. You were bleeding from all seven orifices just now, aren't you worried?"

The blood instantly faded from Pei Hongshou's face: "What did you say?"

Ai Wanxin blinked: "You should know that SP-level sentinels all have dual-type abilities, like Junlin, who has dual abilities of ice and wind, and I have fire and healing abilities."

"I was the one who stopped the bleeding you just did."

"I can tell as soon as I touch you. Apart from your face, which looks like you're in your twenties, your internal organs and blood vessels all have serious problems."

Pei Hongshou's light grey pupils shrank. He raised his hands and looked down at the skin on the back of his hands which had no age spots or wrinkles. He looked so young and full of vitality. How could it be that only the skin had become younger?

Is she lying to me?

However, deep in his heart, a voice told Pei Hongshou that if she was lying to him, why did he still feel extremely tired even though he had become younger, and his energy was decreasing day by day, to the point where he had to spend most of the day lying in the repair cabin, and had no time to even ask about the whereabouts of his own son, let alone the affairs of the Earth Alliance government.

and so……

A flash of lightning flashed through Pei Hongshou's mind, and he broke out in a cold sweat. Friedrich deceived me. He wanted to get rid of me and take control of the coalition government alone!

Pei Hongshou refocused his gaze on his own fingertips that were shaking uncontrollably.

Suddenly, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Why are you telling me this? Didn't Friedrich bring you here to support you in becoming the head of the alliance?"

Ai Wanxin keenly noticed the change in his way of addressing Atlas and knew that her goal had been achieved.

Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, the alliance will disintegrate from within. Moreover, what he thinks may not be untrue.

Ai Wanxin looked confused: "Ah? What does it have to do with Arthur?"

Pei Hongshou fell silent. Having been a powerful figure all his life, for the first time he began to doubt his own judgment.

Is she too smart, or does she really not know what message her words convey?

Indeed, from beginning to end, she did not mention Friedrich a word.

She said that Xue Muqing sent her to Atlantis, but she didn't say whether it was arranged by Friedrich.

She said that Feng Jingyi's men killed Merlin, but she didn't say whether Fredrich knew about it.

She said that only my appearance had become younger, but she didn't know that this restoration chamber was given to me by Friedrich.

Pei Hongshou, who had seen countless people, was shocked to find that he could not see through a girl in her twenties!

Pei Hongshou looked at Ai Wanxin who was holding Yin Yanhan's hand, and felt that he had thought too much about her.

She was entangled with the boy named Yin and her stupid son. If Friedrich had decided to support her as the head of the alliance, she would have no reason to object. Why did she need to alienate herself and Friedrich?

Therefore, she only inadvertently revealed the things that Friedrich had hidden from her because she was unaware of the intricate connections between the two.

Pei Hongshou's wildly beating heart finally calmed down. Although he was deceived by Friedrich, it was only for a short time. Moreover, he was the one who had the most information now. The feeling of loss of control that almost pierced his heart just now had completely disappeared. Pei Hongshou came up with a new plan in an instant.

The most urgent thing is his body.

"Nothing. What I meant is that Arthur asked someone to invite you to Atlantis. Besides being prepared to support you in becoming the leader of the alliance, did he also ask you to heal his body?"

Pei Hongshou's words took a very abrupt turn, but Ai Wanxin would never expose him.

Ai Wanxin even felt that this sentence was turned very well, allowing her to deal the most fatal blow to their fragile alliance.

"No, I think Arthur is in good health."

"Haha, yes, we just met him." A brisk and cheerful voice sounded from outside the door, and a young man in a navy blue suit walked in.

The man had short light-colored hair neatly combed behind his head, his eyes were slightly curved, and he wore a light blue tie on his collar that matched his suit, with the lower end tucked into his neat vest.

There was a small gold badge pinned to his lapel, engraved with a lion wearing a crown and holding a halberd and shield. Ai Wanxin recognized it; it was the royal badge of the Silver Empire.

After the man entered the house, he was not surprised at all that Ai Wanxin and the others were here. He stood still and nodded gracefully to Pei Hongshou: "Uncle, I heard that you have guests here. I came to see if there is anything I can help you with."

Pei Hongshou nodded in return: "Your Highness Caesar."

Ai Wan took a break from her busy schedule and thought, Caesar is a really grand name.

Caesar's eyes passed from Ai Wanxin's face, and first fell on Yin Yanhan. He extended his hand enthusiastically: "Just now, the Pope and I met Mr. Arthur on Marshal Schnatter's flagship. I was wondering why you were not with him, but I didn't expect to see you here."

Ai Wanxin's ears twitched slightly. Atlas went to find Schnatter again?

I guess he went to find out whether the things he said were true or not.

But Ai Wanxin was not worried at all. How could Schnatter, a fool who would not show his eagle until he saw the rabbit, meet him?

As expected, Caesar said regretfully: "It's a pity that the Marshal is too busy with military affairs to meet us today."

Yin Yanhan shook his hand briefly and then let go. Caesar turned his gaze to Jon on Ai Wanxin's right.

He squinted his eyes and looked at her for a moment, took a breath, and said, "You are not Major General Jon, are you?"

Jon shook his hand expressionlessly: "I am."

Caesar smiled and said, "This is a rare visitor, Major General Jon. May I ask you something? My uncle is not in good health, and the doctor said he needs to rest."

The implication is that he is planning to kick people out.

Everyone knows that John and Schnatter are not on the same boat, and Schnatter is the admiral of the navy. Caesar doesn't want to lose the big picture by picking up sesame seeds, and get on the wrong boat by holding on to the wrong person.

Ai Wanxin, who was completely ignored by him, said kindly: "Major General Qiao En knew that your uncle was in poor health, so he brought me here to treat him."

Caesar then turned his gaze to Ai Wanxin: "Oh? Are you a doctor?"

Ai Wan thought for a moment and said, "If you say so, I have no objection."

Caesar smiled and said, "Major General Jon is thoughtful, but my uncle's health is so serious that even the Royal Medical College of our Silver Empire is helpless. I'm afraid a young doctor like you can't do anything either."

Ai Wanxin did not refute. She looked at Pei Hongshou and said helplessly: "Since your nephew doesn't agree, I have to leave first."

Pei Hongshou frowned fiercely: "Your Highness, it's okay to let her take a look."

Caesar said nonchalantly, "Uncle, I was going to tell you when I was more confident, but I see you are desperate, so I will tell you straight away. The Pope's sincere prayers moved the sun god, and he sent down an oracle, saying that everything is ready. In three days, he will grant eternal life to all believers."
