SRGA Chapter 211: Lin Tian, This is Too Short!
"Princess Kailina, please come in."
Lin Tian opened the door, and Kailina entered the living room.
"Mr. Lin Tian, I have received information that Karen Earl of the Tudor Clan and Eamon Earl of the Bruch Clan have already boarded a plane heading to Huaguo."
Kailina looked at Lin Tian, her expression a bit worried.
Lin Tian narrowed his eyes. "Which family initiated this?"
Kailina understood Lin Tian's question and said, "It should be the Bruch Clan who approached the Tudor Clan."
"Mr. Lin Tian, they are coming together, possibly intending to use their family's influence to pressure you."
Lin Tian smiled. "Are you worried that I won't be able to withstand the pressure, and they will directly send you back?"
Princess Kailina looked tense.
She clenched the hem of her clothes. "Mr. Lin Tian, there is something I haven't told you. The Bruch Clan also wants to form a marriage alliance with our royal family."
"A marriage alliance with you?"
"Have you ever had a marriage alliance with the Bruch Clan before?"
Kailina nodded and then shook her head.
"We have steadfastly refused to ally with them, and because of this, our royal family has had many conflicts with them."
"After each conflict, they would encroach on some of our interests."
Lin Tian said, "Perhaps they do this deliberately to find reasons to encroach on more of your interests."
Kailina nodded. "It used to be like this. Now they continue, perhaps intending to swallow our entire royal family."
"Maybe they think we will compromise. Maybe they believe our Wan Nation royal family no longer has any influence."
There was a look of anger in Kailina's eyes.
At this point, Kailina bowed deeply. "Mr. Lin Tian, I hope you can help our Wan Nation."
"Even if... even if I have to become your lover, I am willing."
Lin Tian shook his head.
Kailina's face turned red and then white. She had mustered a lot of courage to say this, after all, she was a princess.
"I was presumptuous."
Kailina said bitterly.
Lin Tian frowned. "Princess Kailina, we can cooperate, but please don't say you want to become my lover again."
Kailina was stunned.
"Mr. Lin Tian... wouldn't our interests be more deeply tied together that way?"
Many powerful forces operate like this, and Kailina understood this from a young age.
Even if they couldn't be together openly, becoming lovers and having a child would be much more stable than a simple interest relationship.
"Princess Kailina, I have a good relationship with Bing Ning."
Lin Tian said seriously.
Kailina was puzzled. "Mr. Lin Tian, this wouldn't affect your relationship. I wouldn't compete with her."
"We could just simply have a child."
Lin Tian rubbed his forehead.
Foreigners' ways of thinking might be different from theirs.
"Kailina, our cultures are different. In Huaguo, such behavior is considered unfaithful to one's partner."
Kailina said, "Mr. Lin Tian, I understand that. But isn't family inheritance more important?"
"For a family to have a long-lasting legacy, it needs to bind interests in all aspects. Doesn't Huaguo also have this situation?"
Lin Tian waved his hand. "Let's not discuss this."
The Wan Nation royal family and other long-standing forces have large estates and many considerations, and family interests are paramount.
Lin's family only had his parents, himself, and Luo Bing Ning.
He didn't need to consider so much.
As for the future... having more children with Luo Bing Ning and letting their sons and grandsons form alliances with other forces would suffice.
"Princess Kailina, you should know them well. How many assets and strong individuals do they have?"
Lin Tian changed the subject.
Kailina said, "I didn't know much initially, but before I came, my father told me a lot about them."
"The Bruch Clan's assets should be over two billion euros, and they secretly control many forces in various countries."
"Counting the assets indirectly controlled, it might be around four to five trillion euros."
Lin Tian nodded slightly; this was roughly what he had estimated.
"The Tudor Clan isn't as greedy as the Bruch Clan. Their direct assets are less, but the assets they indirectly control should be more than the Bruch Clan's."
Lin Tian smiled faintly. "The Bruch Clan is too greedy, so there are fewer forces willing to rely on them, right?"
"Yes."
Kailina nodded. "The Bruch Clan has severely oppressed our royal family, and many other forces have also been swallowed by them."
"Naturally, many forces don't want to rely on the Bruch Clan."
"The Tudor Clan indirectly controls more forces, partly because the old patriarch of the Tudor Clan is stronger."
Lin Tian asked, "What is their strength?"
Kailina replied, "According to your Huaguo's classification, the old patriarch of the Tudor Clan should be at the mid-stage Grandmaster level."
"The old patriarch of the Bruch Clan is at the early-stage Grandmaster level."
Lin Tian inquired, "Do the other six major clans of the blood race also have Grandmasters?"
Kailina nodded.
"A family can't become a top family without a Duke. Each family currently has a Duke on the surface."
"Secretly, some families might have a second Duke."
Lin Tian sighed inwardly.
Before "Master Lin" appeared, Huaguo didn't have any Grandmasters on the surface, while the blood race had at least eight Grandmasters.
This was somewhat disheartening.
Even if Huaguo had some hidden Grandmasters, there definitely weren't as many.
Huaguo had been significantly impacted by past wars, whereas the blood race had gained enormous benefits from the invasions of those times.
"The eight major families of the blood race aren't very united, are they?"
Lin Tian asked.
Kailina nodded. "Yes, the territories of the eight major families of the blood race are all in Europe, so there are bound to be conflicts of interest."
"Various wars in Europe have their influence behind them."
"However, if faced with an external threat, they might unite."
Kailina left after staying for half an hour.
Lin Tian now had a clearer understanding of the blood race's situation.
The Wan Nation royal family had long been oppressed, and they knew the blood race very well.
On the twenty-first floor.
Su Anna's female bodyguard entered the room.
She had two female bodyguards in this neighborhood.
One downstairs, one upstairs.
"How was it?"
Su Anna asked.
"Miss, Princess Kailina stayed in Lin Tian's room for half an hour."
Su Anna muttered, "Half an hour is enough time to do a lot, but isn't Lin Tian a martial arts master?"
"His endurance isn't very impressive."
"After deducting foreplay and such, it wasn't even twenty minutes."
Downstairs.
Lin Tian: "..."
Through his exceptional sense of smell, he knew Zhao Anna's bodyguard was guarding the hallway, and the bodyguard had just returned to her room.
He focused his hearing and unexpectedly heard Su Anna say this.
"Miss, perhaps Lin Tian was in a hurry. He might have thought it would look bad if Princess Kailina stayed in his room for too long."
Su Anna's bodyguard analyzed.
Su Anna nodded. "That's possible too. What do you think about me going downstairs to see Lin Tian now?"
Su Anna's bodyguard said, "Miss, I don't think that's a good idea. Men have a 'sage time' after that."
"A 'sage time'?"
Su Anna asked.
She was still a virgin and didn't know much about this.
"Miss, 'sage time' is—"
