Chapter 669 Paisley Confesses Love

Paisley fell into deep thought too.

Aurora Citadel was the capital of Summer Nation.

This place was also the economic center of Summer Nation, and what Larry was doing this time was huge - it wasn't just about one company or one consortium.

Once Larry made his move, it would involve basically eighty percent of the companies and consortiums rooted in Aurora Citadel.

If not handled properly, big trouble would follow.

"Larry, here's what I think," Paisley said after thinking for a while. "I believe that even if the Bennett family gets involved and brings in some reputable consortiums, it still might not be enough to handle the aftermath. Because when driven by interests, the people we bring in won't be united."

Larry listened carefully.

He didn't understand these things either.

Paisley continued: "How about forming our own consortium or chamber of commerce, bringing in some companies, and joining forces with large and small enterprises from all over the country? Only then might we be able to deal with the aftermath. Otherwise, Summer Nation will be in chaos, and economic turmoil will follow."

"Over the past few decades, Summer Nation's economy has developed rapidly, making it one of the world's leading powers. If this isn't handled well, the economy could collapse completely, setting us back decades."

Larry nodded.

Although he didn't understand these things, what Paisley said made sense.

Paisley stood up, placed both hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, moved closer to Larry, and said at close range: "Larry, if you want to eliminate future troubles forever, you must hold everything in your hands."

Larry couldn't help but take another look at Paisley.

For a moment, he didn't quite understand what Paisley meant by that.

"What do you mean?"

Paisley raised both hands.

"Power and money."

She clenched her left hand: "This is power. Human desire is endless. Anyone will do whatever it takes for power. No one can guarantee what kind of person the next king will be. If you want Summer Nation to truly be stable, then become king yourself."

She clenched her right fist.

"The current king is passive because Summer Nation's economic lifelines are controlled by the Four Great Families, with the rest controlled by many consortiums in Aurora Citadel. If you don't want to be passive, then you must truly control Summer Nation's economy."

"This is an opportunity."

"The big election is coming. After cleaning everything up, take control of it all yourself, then become king yourself. That way, Summer Nation will be yours to command, and only then can there be true peace and prosperity."

As she spoke, she looked at Larry.

"Larry, you're a Martial practitioner now with a long lifespan - at least a hundred years. Why not take this opportunity to achieve great things and leave your name in history?"

Hearing these words from Paisley, Larry couldn't help but shake his head.

"Living like that would be too exhausting. I have no desire to be king, no ambition to dominate, don't want to do great things, and don't want to leave my name for eternity. I just want peace and prosperity for the nation, then take the woman I love and live in seclusion, living a free and unrestrained life."

"Coward."

Paisley scolded loudly: "To put it nicely, you lack ambition. To put it bluntly, you're a coward, afraid of trouble. Life is only a hundred years - if you don't achieve something great, wouldn't it be a waste to come to this world?"

Larry sat in his chair, looking at Paisley.

He felt Paisley had changed.

The Paisley before him now had grand ambitions in her heart.

She was no longer the Paisley that Larry had first met.

"Paisley, you've changed."

"I haven't," Paisley retorted. "I'm thinking of you."

She moved closer to Larry.

Suddenly she nestled into Larry's arms, hugging him tightly.

"Larry, I want you to achieve great things, not retire after solving these problems and putting a new king in place. What's the difference between that and being a nobody?"

With a beautiful woman in his arms, Larry froze.

"Larry, I like you. For you, I'll do anything. I'll help you with everything I have. I've worked hard to control the Bennett family, worked hard to make connections - all because I want to take the initiative in the upcoming election, help you get votes, and help you successfully ascend to the throne."

Paisley became more and more excited as she spoke.

At this moment, Larry felt a bit lost too.

In his mind, he couldn't help but picture a scene.

A scene of ruling the world's most powerful nation, having the world's most beautiful women, living in luxury night after night.

After these images appeared, he scared himself, quickly activating Flow Breathing to clear his mind and make it empty, finally casting aside these messy thoughts.

He calmed down.

Paisley was still nestled in his arms, hugging him tightly.

"You, you two...?"

A shocked voice came.

Chloe walked in.

After Larry left this morning, she stayed home for a while, felt a bit bored, and wanted someone to talk to. In Aurora Citadel, she only knew Paisley.

So she came to the Bennett Manor.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the Bennett Manor living room, she saw Larry sitting in a chair with Paisley nestled in his arms, her hand even inside his clothes.

A surge of anger immediately flared up in her heart.

Her expression turned dark.

Hearing the voice, Paisley came to her senses, stood up, glanced at Chloe standing at the door, straightened her clothes, and said calmly: "Chloe, you're here."

Larry had just been using Flow Breathing to suppress the thoughts appearing in his mind.

Just as he stopped, Chloe arrived.

He stood up.

"Larry, well done." Tears welled up in Chloe's eyes, and crystal teardrops rolled down. She left those words, turned and walked away.

Larry's body flashed, quickly disappearing from where he stood. The next moment he appeared in front of Chloe, grabbing her hand: "Chloe, this is a misunderstanding. Let me explain."

"Misunderstanding? You were hugging each other, her hand was inside your clothes - if I hadn't come, would you have taken them off?" Chloe shouted.

Paisley had already come out, but she stood at the doorway without approaching, just watching Larry and Chloe.

Larry's face showed bitterness: "It's really not what you saw."

"Then explain!" Chloe looked at Larry through her tears.

"This... how can I explain this to you?" For a moment, Larry didn't know how to explain.

Chloe shook off Larry's hand and turned to leave.

Larry stood there, not knowing whether to chase after her or not.

"Go after her! What are you standing there for?" At the doorway, Paisley crossed her arms with a playful smile: "I don't care how many women you have around you. I'm not as petty as Chloe."

Larry looked deeply at Paisley.

The Paisley before him felt like a stranger.

He said nothing and turned to leave.

Behind him came Paisley's shout: "Larry, think carefully about what I said. This is a perfect opportunity. With my help, you can definitely achieve great things and leave your name in history."

Larry ignored her and quickly chased after Chloe.

Chasing to the Bennett family gate, he saw Chloe driving away.

The car was going pretty fast, instantly accelerating to over sixty miles per hour.

Larry activated his Qi, his body moving forward like lightning, quickly catching up. He forcibly opened the car door and jumped into the passenger seat.
