“You’re a fugitive now, and I’m an official. We’re enemies. What do you want from me?” Tuzman said coldly with a straight face.
“Don’t pretend to be righteous in front of me. It’s quite awkward.”
Silas sat down and waved his hand.
“When you arrested me 300 years ago, I saw through your greed and ambition.”
“So I came here to give you a big opportunity.”
“Oh? What opportunity?”
Since Silas had pointed it out, Tuzman did not pretend anymore.
Anyway, he could not go out and talk about his situation.
And he had guessed correctly.
Sure enough, this guy had risked his life to find him for a big reason.
“I can help the Cook family become the number one family in Demacia.”
Looking at the shocked Tuzman, a smile appeared on Silas’ face.
“Although I’m not a good person, I’ve never lied. The only reason I went against Demacia was because of the magic in my body.”
Tuzman agreed with this point.
He really did not lie.
“What do you mean by that? You should know that the number one family is the Reigning family, and there are a few similar to them. Are you so sure that the Cook family can become the number one family?”
It was obvious that Tuzman was tempted.
“Of course, the specific plan is like this… You need to cooperate with us…”
Silas told Tuzman their plan.
He was not afraid that Tuzman would go out and complain, or for the same reason as before. He had ambition.
Even if he took ten thousand steps back, he would really go out and complain and tell the news to Gawain IV.
That was not a big deal.
Because he had concealed the existence of the black-robed man.
In this way, they did not dare to act rashly without knowing the strength of their enemies and allies.
“You want to be the new king of Demacia, and you want us to cooperate with you on the wedding day?”
Tuzman’s expression changed.
He knew that it was a big deal that he came to find him, but he did not expect it to be such a big deal.
He actually wanted a coup d’etat and then occupied Demacia!
His ambition was even greater than his.
He was only thinking about it.
And Silas had already started to take action.
“Forgive me for rejecting. This matter is too dangerous, and the returns are too low. The Cook family doesn’t need to get involved in this mess.”
Seeing that Tuzman decisively rejected, Silas wasn’t surprised.
This was all within his expectations.
His rejection just now was mainly because he felt that the chances of winning weren’t high enough, and the income and investment weren’t equal. He didn’t reject it because he was loyal to the Light Shield family.
This also gave Silas the space to persuade him.
“Sit down and listen to me. Don’t reject me so quickly.”
“The first thing is strength. I have recovered from my injuries on our side and my strength has already broken through the intermediate stage of the Eternal Realm. Although I have not reached the advanced stage, it is enough to deal with you guys. Garen will no longer be my opponent.”
In order to increase his persuasiveness, he even revealed his own aura and directly suppressed Tuzman.
Tuzman’s heart was filled with shock.
He himself was an expert at the intermediate stage of the Eternal Realm, but now he was directly suppressed?
This made him start to believe Silas’ words.
“This isn’t enough. Your strength alone isn’t enough.”
“That’s right, you’re right.”
Silas nodded his head.
“But I’ve found my subordinates. Two of them are at the intermediate stage of the Eternal Realm, and a few are at the initial stage of the Eternal Realm.”
“If we include your family and a few other families that are interested in our side, that will be enough. We can completely suppress the Light Shield family’s side.”
“After all, there are only a few people at the intermediate stage of the Eternal Realm on their side. The scales of victory are on our side.”
Tuzman was silent for a moment.
If it was really as Silas had said, then it was really feasible, and it was very likely.
Thinking of this, he suddenly took a deep look at Silas.
“Do you know why Gawain IV was so down and out, and we only joined hands to oppose his succession, but didn’t dare to ascend the throne ourselves?”
“You have to know that some families are actually not weak.”
“Oh? Why?”
Silas really didn’t know about this, but it didn’t stop him from being interested.
“That is because in Demacia, since Kyle and Morgana, the Light Shield family has ruled this place for more than ten thousand years.”
“It has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The Light Shield family has long been regarded as the orthodox family.”
After that, Tuzman did not continue speaking. He believed that Silas could understand what he meant.
Silas indeed understood.
Before this, he was still wondering why these people had the strength to carry out a coup, but they did not do it?
At first, he thought that these people didn’t want to make progress and just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
He didn’t expect there to be such a deep reason.
“So, you still decided to do this? Maybe there will be a lot of resistance,” Tuzman said meaningfully.
“What’s the big deal? I’m alone to begin with, so there’s nothing to worry about. Moreover, Demacia wasn’t founded by his Light Shield family, and they could only be considered as successors. The ones who should be in charge should be Kyle and Morgana.”
“And they both know magic. But now, Gawain IV has issued a magic ban. This shows that they don’t respect Kyle and Morgana, so they’re no longer suitable to be in charge of Demacia.”
“As long as I go on stage and announce the abolition of the magic ban, then I’ll have mages to support me. This way, when the two forces fight, I’ll be safe.”
Silas was not a rookie either. He quickly thought of a solution.
Tuzman was really shocked by him.
He thought that he was a boorish person, but he did not expect him to be a wise boorish person.
Hearing what he said, it made sense.
“Alright, since you have decided, let’s talk about the division of power after the event.”
Tuzman temporarily agreed with what he said, but in the end, he still had to look at the benefits.
“Of course. Your Cook family contributed the most. After that, you’ll be the number one clan in Demacia. You’ll be even more glorious than the current Reigning family.”
“The other clans will distribute the benefits according to their own contributions.”
“After the battle, there will definitely be other clans destroyed. That way, you can divide up the strength.”
“No problem, I have no objections.”
Tuzman agreed.
Their family had relied on the Reigning family to rise up.
Therefore, no one understood the Reigning family’s strength better than him.
Although he was also very envious of the position of king, he knew that this was not something that he could touch.
To be able to bring the family to the Reigning family’s position, he was very satisfied.
“Good, then it’s settled. You go and unite with the other families that have other intentions. Then, on the wedding day, reduce the guard force at the city gate and try your best to gather Demacia’s high-level officials at your wedding.”
“This way, we will be able to enter easily and destroy the people of Demacia in one fell swoop. In the end, victory will be ours.”
Silas’ eyes flashed coldly.
“Alright, then let’s drink a toast to our upcoming victory!”
“Come, cheers!”
