Although he felt very unwilling, the eldest prince Steve wisely chose to remain silent.
He knew the teacher's temperament very well. The harsher the teacher's scolding was, the more it actually came out of concern for him.
Moreover, he firmly believed that the teacher now had a good solution to the problem.
In a sense, Mr. Minglang is indeed a rare and valuable teacher who always puts himself in the shoes of his students.
The fact was just as Steve expected. Mr. Minglang slowly pulled out a few documents from his pocket, gently placed them on the desk, and said earnestly:
"Now, your two brothers have reached a tacit understanding, and their actions behind the scenes are really incredible. I'm sure you are very eager to know the fundamental purpose of their actions, right?"
After that, he pointed to the top document and said, "Take a look at this first. Perhaps you will feel that what you have encountered before is just a minor incident."
When mentioning this matter, Mr. Minglang's condition was obviously different, and there was a hint of indescribable madness in his eyes.
This was very different from his usual deep and reserved temperament, and it also caused Steve to feel a little doubtful.
He quickly picked up the document and read it carefully:
"Oh my God, you mean the two of them are going to..."
After a quick glance, Steve suddenly jumped up from his seat, his pale face instantly turned red, obviously due to shock.
It would be difficult for anyone to remain calm if they knew that their two younger brothers were going to attack their father.
Steve couldn't believe his eyes no matter what. Such a thorough and detailed plan to kill the king was actually the work of his two younger brothers.
"Does father know?" Steve asked in a trembling voice.
The trembling was not out of fear, but excitement.
If what the document said was true, he only had to present it to his father, and from then on no one would be able to threaten his status as heir to the throne.
Mr. Minglang sat upright on the sofa, pondered for a long time, and then slowly uttered a few words: "Your father doesn't know."
Hearing this answer, Steve became more and more excited. He picked up the documents and was about to rush out of the office.
"In this case, I will tell my father and teacher about this matter. I believe everything will come to light."
Just as Steve's hand was about to touch the door handle, Mr. Minglang's ghostly whisper came from behind him:
"If I were you, I would definitely read all the documents first before making a decision, instead of impulsively reporting like a fool."
Hearing this, Steve stopped, took a deep breath, and calmed himself.
He realized that the other documents left on the desk must be more shocking than the one in his hand that recorded his brothers' plan to kill the king.
So he stopped, turned around and walked back to his desk, picked up the document underneath and slowly unfolded it.

Although the document did not contain much content, Steve quickly skimmed through it.
Then, he seemed to have lost his soul, fell into a chair, and muttered to himself:
"Father, how dare he...how dare he..."
The once gentle and cynical eldest prince Steve seemed to have lost all his strength at this moment, and just kept muttering:
"Crazy, crazy, all crazy..."
At this time, Mr. Ming stood up, walked to his disciple, and said in a low and fanatical voice:
"Your father is not crazy. On the contrary, he knows exactly what he is doing. However, it is precisely because of this that people feel how terrifying he is."
"Think about it carefully now. Will such a person really hand over the Sun Yuan Kingdom to you intact?"
Steve seemed to have regained some consciousness. He raised his head with difficulty and asked his teacher:
"But, but what is the reason why Father did this?"
"What's the reason? At this time, are you still thinking about the reason?"
A mocking tone came out of Mr. Ming's mouth.
"If we must delve into the reason, it is that he was betrayed by Takeda Nagayoshi. Although the Japanese Empire was obtained by betraying the Plantagenet Dynasty, Macbeth himself would not allow anyone to betray him."
Before he could finish his words, Steve suddenly became angry for some reason.
He stood up and yelled at his teacher:
"He's my father, you can't say that about him!"
"Haha." Mr. Minglang sneered twice, took a few steps back, moved away from Steve, and said mockingly:
"Do you still regard him as your father? From what I understand, in your eyes, Macbeth is just a madman who only knows how to abuse his power?"
"During the years he was in power, he launched wars against foreign countries every day, and every minute, young people from the Sun Kite Kingdom died on foreign soil."
"Think about it, if this country loses the assistance of other countries in the Blood Alliance, can it still survive?"
These words, like a sharp blade made of ice, pierced Steve's heart directly.
He turned pale and slumped down in the chair again.
"Don't act like a bereaved person like that!"
Mr. Minglang's voice suddenly increased. He walked forward quickly, grabbed Steve's shoulders with both hands, and said loudly in his ear:
"Do you know why I chose you as my teacher? Because in the entire Mai family, you are the most sober person. You are also the only one who will not take people's lives madly for those inexplicable little reasons."
"You once criticized your father's rule in front of me. You said your ideal was to build an equal and strong country."
"Where are your previous dreams? Do you really want your country to be turned into a scorched earth in the war?"
Steve gave a sad smile:
"Equal and powerful? How is that possible? In the current situation, we have no other choice but to become the fuse of a world war..."
"No way out?" Mr. Minglang asked, "Do you mean that you will allow your father to release this aquatic plague to wipe out all the armies of the Sun Kite Kingdom and the Flower Moon Kingdom, thereby creating two no-man's lands?"
"Do you know how many casualties this would cause? The initial estimate is 1 million, which is equivalent to half the population of each country dying!"
At this moment, the room was silent, with only the sound of Steve's heavy breathing and the howling of the wind outside the window, interweaving together, as if playing a sad song for the impending disaster.
Steve's eyes were filled with pain and struggle. He knew very well that he could not change his father's decision, nor could he prevent the impending catastrophe.
However, as the prince of the Riyuan Kingdom, how could he watch his country and people go to destruction?

After a long time, Steve asked in a low voice: "Teacher, what do you think I should do next?"
Mr. Minglang sighed and said slowly: "Let your two good brothers complete their plans."
After saying that, he held the document about releasing the plague tightly in his hand, then took out another document and gently placed it in front of Steve, "You go and give this document to McFlurry in person."
Steve was so shocked when he heard this that he blurted out, "Teacher, you are..."
Mr. Minglang smiled bitterly and shook his head, then continued:
"This kind of plague weapon cannot be truly manufactured. Some of the raw materials needed were excavated from underground ruins, which are things left behind by the previous civilization. And I am the one who is in charge of all this plan."
"Originally, your father wanted to put the blame for the plague directly on Huayue Country. And if this matter were to be exposed, I would be the scapegoat."
Having said this, Mr. Minglang sat back on the soft sofa, and his tone returned to calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him:
"Your father's original idea was to drag the entire human society into a new round of world war by creating an ambiguous plague attack that seemed to be released by the Huayue Kingdom."
"Once this plague weapon is released, the Sea Society and the Blood Alliance will definitely not allow themselves to be accused of using a weapon that is despised by all mankind."
"Moreover, in order to take revenge on Takeda Nagayoshi who betrayed him, your father decided to abdicate after the outbreak of this plague and merge the Kingdom of Hibiki into the Blood-headed Eagle Empire, making it a province of the Blood-headed Eagle."
