「The council hall.」
The Third Prince sat in the main seat, flanked by Huo Wu, Cao Yang, Da Pao, and the others.
"Why isn't Jiang the Military Advisor here yet?"
"We're almost out of time. If he doesn't come soon, we won't make it."
Da Pao was anxious. This competition to seize the high ground was of the utmost importance; it would decide the Third Prince's fate.
There was no room for error. Jiang Chen had already arranged everything, so proceeding without him was simply not an option.
Just thinking about the formidable experts on the Crown Prince's and Second Prince's teams made their skin crawl.
Only Jiang Chen could control the situation.
Huo Wu appeared calm, but she kept glancing toward the entrance of the council hall.
'He'll come, right?'
'Without him, I have no confidence at all.'
Even if Jiang Chen didn't show, the competition would proceed. At worst, the Third Prince could have Da Pao take Jiang Chen's place.
But the outcome would be completely different.
