I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

Foljego refused outright, his tone resolute, without a trace of lingering affection or hesitation.

"Ha ha ha ha........"

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Vladimir chuckled softly again, the bloodshot in his eyes gradually fading.

This is both a test and a warning.

Vladimir was telling Foyego where the bottom line was in their cooperation.

Vladimir could not accept a powerful figure like Foygo ascending to the Noxian throne; doing so would be shooting himself in the foot.

After some verbal probing and exchanges, the two finally reached a cooperative foundation that satisfied both of them.

Fóyegor had no intention of becoming king.

Vladimir had no intention of becoming a god.

That was the tacit understanding reached between the two.

Now, let's get down to business.

...........

Foygo slowly reached out his hand, and a large bottle of pure golden liquid suddenly appeared in his palm.

The moment Vladimir saw the bottle of holy water of life, his pupils began to contract violently.

The initial indifference vanished, replaced by an overwhelming longing.

Although it was only for a moment, and the change in expression was so fast that ordinary people could not see it clearly, Foygo still saw it all.

Fóyego simply smiled and remained silent.

As long as he has the Holy Water of Life in his hands, it's as if Foygo has Vladimir's Achilles' heel at all times.

Vladimir's thoughts at that moment were almost predictable to Foygo with his eyes closed.

It must be said that Vladimir, who was able to decipher the secrets of the Ascension power within the Darkin and obtain the incomplete Darkin power, is indeed a ruthless person.

Besides possessing near-demigod-like strength, Vladimir likely also has extremely advanced research abilities.

After obtaining the Holy Water of Life, Vladimir will certainly try to unravel its secrets and create it himself, bypassing Foyego.

But all I can say to that is that Vladimir is completely overthinking things.

The Holy Water of Life originates from the Holy Spring of Life on Blessed Island, and together with the Blade of the Ruined King, it generates the terrifying Curse of Ruined.

Even with Foygo's current strength, he still couldn't quite understand the origin of the Holy Water of Life.

Even if Vladimir were to research something, he wouldn't be able to figure it out in a thousand years.

Therefore, Fóyego was not worried at all that trading the Holy Water of Life with Vladimir would result in losing both his money and his man.

For Vladimir, the primary objective was naturally to analyze and develop the holy water of life.

However, even if we cannot study and replicate the holy water of life.

This time, Foygo brought out twice as much holy water of life as last time.

These holy waters of life are enough to prolong the vitality of this body for over a hundred years.

This also means that even if Vladimir doesn't unlock the secret of the Holy Water of Life, he won't need to reincarnate for at least the next hundred years.

Vladimir could naturally accept such a deal.

.............

Seeing that Vladimir had fully accepted his terms, Fojego knew it was time for him to make an offer.

"Uncle, besides needing your full support for the development of my cult, I also need..."

"There's one more thing I need your help with right now."

Don't worry, it's just a "small matter".

Foygo began to speak, a profound look flashing in his eyes.

“Speak, my dear nephew.”

"Since you've asked, how could I refuse?"

Vladimir agreed readily, without any intention of arguing with Foyego.

Perhaps it was because the condition proposed by Feuergo was just a "minor matter".

"I need you for 380... to help me rescue Jarvan IV."

As Foygo finished speaking, Vladimir's eyes flickered a few times.

Vladimir narrowed his eyes, increasingly unable to fathom Foyego's true nature.

As one of the two poles of the Black Rose, Vladimir naturally had eyes to every little thing happening within the Empire.

He was well aware that Garvin IV had been captured by Feuergo himself.

If Folyago wanted to save Jarvan IV, he could have simply let him go on the battlefield. Why did he have to wait until now and go through all this trouble?

If this news were to get out, the entire empire would probably be stunned.

The Imperial General captured the Imperial Prince himself, and now he's going to rescue him again. What kind of operation is this?

Even Vladimir was somewhat bewildered at this moment.

He never expected that the "minor matter" Foygo was referring to would be this incident.

After some deliberation, Vladimir weighed the pros and cons.

"I promise."

"I will provide assistance when necessary."

Vladimir spoke slowly, his tone calm.

This answer was clearly not beyond Fóyego's expectations, and he responded with a gentle smile.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you, Uncle."

Foygo slowly extended his hand.

"Pleasant to work with."

Vladimir also extended a hand.

As their palms touched, a decision that would affect the fate of the empire was once again finalized.

Chapter 153, Sisters

The Gurez family.

As Foyego's position within the empire became more secure and his cooperation with Vladimir deepened.

The entire Gurez family was also completely brought under Foygo's sphere of influence by Vladimir.

This can be considered a small "gift" for the collaboration between the two.

Foygo did not attempt to investigate how many people in the Gurría family mansion were informants for the Black Rose.

Because such behavior is meaningless.

Black Rose could easily infiltrate the Gurez family if she wanted to, unless they no longer needed servants.

For Foygo, the Gurez family home was just a residence, and there was no need to impose any restrictions on it.

...........

As night fell, a wisp of gray mist drifted through the window into a lavishly decorated bedroom.

Inside the room, a white-haired young man dressed in the uniform of an imperial general sat calmly, seemingly unmoved by the somewhat eerie gray mist before him.

Soon, the gray mist condensed into a human shape.

"Kalista, come as summoned."

The female general, clad in full armor, stood proudly to the side, offering only a brief greeting to Foygo.

His words were neither humble nor arrogant, unlike Calsas, who showed extreme respect for Fiorio.

Even so, Fóyego didn't care.

After all, this child has such a proud and arrogant temperament, there's really no cure for him.

In terms of loyalty, Kalista is probably still his number one.

“Kalista, I have summoned you here because I have something to entrust to you.”

"Foyago said calmly, his tone gentle," Fouyago said.

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Kalista simply turned her head away, neither refusing nor objecting.

Foygo shook his head, somewhat amused and exasperated, knowing that this meant Kalista had tacitly agreed.

"Go find Karthus, he'll tell you what to do."
