Then let them offer their loyalty!

Women are sensitive and fragile creatures. Moreover, they have a strong sense of self-respect. Therefore... to achieve a goal, forcing them will only result in rejection and resistance.

In such situations, it might be wise to retreat in order to advance.

Explain everything to the woman first, then gently withdraw. Let her make her own choice.

Because they are easily swayed, most girls, after hesitating for a long time, will most likely choose the option you proposed in the end.

Furthermore... the more decisive and direct you are in withdrawing, the more likely the scales will tip in your favor when a girl is making a choice.

This method combines the 37th of the 108 ways to enhance relationships: For you.

Using moral blackmail can be even more effective.

However... I didn't know that Lariro was already starting to waver.

However, Qiu Tu, who had already figured out La Ri Luo's temperament, believed that La Ri Luo would eventually choose to give him those areas to help him reach the peak of the fifth rank.

The only remaining question is whether it will happen sooner or later.

As for whether his plan will fail?

Qiu Tu wasn't worried at all.

Not to mention that Qiu Tu had recently used Ellie's body to "penetrate" La Riluo's mind;

Take, for example, the time when Qiu Tu risked his life to save La Ri Luo from Zhao Ji;

Even with La Riluo's personality, it would be difficult for her to refuse Qiu Tu.

Even if, hypothetically, Lariluo ultimately didn't give Qiu Tu the "Twilight" areas...

Qiu Tu has already occupied the "Eternal Night Zone". Next, he and his dark soldiers will occupy three more zones.

In addition to the "Dock Sea Area" occupied by the "Captain", Qiu Tu's own "New Territories Area".

Qiu Tu actually already controls 5 major regions!

Only 4 stars away from 9 stars.

Once he advances to the fifth rank, becoming invincible among those of the same rank and easily defeating those below the fifth rank, will it be difficult for him to control four more regions?

Therefore, Qiu Tu's path to level 6 is now fully open; the only remaining question is whether he will be fast or slow!

With that in mind, Qiu Tu didn't delay. After returning to the real world, he summoned Zhu Huoyan, who was hiding in his shadow, and asked him to call the "captain" over.

Besides the "Captain," another person Qiu Tu plans to groom as the "Regional Lord" is none other than "Scarface," a staunch follower of Twilight and a peak Tier 3 Cataclysmic Being, whom Qiu Tu recently ordered Guan Xiao to kill...

.......

Meanwhile, as Qiu Tu gradually executed his plan...

A rumor began to circulate quietly in Dongye Prefecture.

The rumor goes that... Qiu Tu has been missing for over ten days, but he actually went to the disaster zone to deal with the Great Evil God Mu Ye, who attacked Dongcheng, the capital of Dongye Prefecture, some time ago!

And more importantly... it seems Qiu Tu actually succeeded!

Although it is unknown how he did it, several speakers, and even Old Tang who traveled a long way to Dongye Prefecture, all witnessed and verified it.

The meeting of speakers this afternoon was about this very issue.

Along with this rumor came another rumor.

That is, more than ten days ago, before going to the shelter, Huang Shangzong promised that whoever could defeat the great evil god "Twilight" would be nominated by him to be the speaker of the new state council. And this promise was also approved by the shelter.

Therefore, when the two pieces of information were combined, an astonishing piece of intelligence was born!

"Qiu Tu is getting promoted again? And... he's going to be the Speaker of the New South Wales Assembly?"

As soon as the news broke, it spread rapidly among the upper and middle classes in various cities of Dongye Prefecture, and was described in vivid detail.

Because... the speaker and the deputy speaker are not the same.

The speaker is a true regional governor, a high-ranking official with real power in charge of the affairs of a state!

Chapter 478 Controlling Six Boundless Seas of the Heart! (Thanks to the patron "Bad Girl Doesn't Waste" for the generous contribution!)

New Territories.

City Hall. Committee Office.

Jiang Zhenpeng, the first member of the New Territories City Council and Tao Yaoyao's uncle, listened to his new secretary's report with constantly changing expressions.

Even with his shrewdness, he still couldn't quite control his emotions when he suddenly heard that Qiu Tu was going to be promoted again, and that he would be promoted to Speaker of the State Legislative Assembly of "New State".

"Is Deputy Speaker Qiu going to become the Speaker of the New South Wales State Legislative Assembly?"

After reciting the information from his secretary, Jiang Zhenpeng looked at his secretary in disbelief and said, "The Vice Speaker Qiu you mentioned, is it... Qiu Tu?"

"Qiu Tu from our New Territories City Investigation Department before?"

Although the secretary was there to deliver a message, he had clearly just received it himself, hence his face was filled with surprise.

Even so, he nodded seriously and said, "Yes, Commissioner. I've confirmed it several times. It is indeed Qiu Tu, the former Director of the New Territories City Exploration Department."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhenpeng's expression almost froze.

He was indeed very optimistic about Qiu Tu's future, which is why he went to great lengths to send Tao Yaoyao to Qiu Tu.

However... being optimistic and being optimistic are not the same thing.

He believes that Qiu Tu might develop for two or three years to become the deputy speaker, and then develop for another four or five years before being transferred out to become the speaker.

He will serve as speaker for a year or two before becoming a member of the Supreme Council.

The entire process may take about 10 years.

As a result, Qiu Tu became the vice speaker within hours. This in itself was already quite unexpected for Jiang Zhenpeng.

But after all, it was understandable, with various coincidences and accidents involved, so it's still somewhat forgivable.

And now... a few months later, he's being transferred to be the speaker of the council?

This speed of promotion can no longer be explained by simply being on Tang Feifei's promotion machine.

This is simply... simply...

'Damn it, could Qiu Tu be Rao Shou's illegitimate son?!'

At that moment, even with Jiang Zhenpeng's composure, he began to speculate about Qiu Tu's background with the utmost malice.

After all, how could one become speaker so easily without having a "speaker father"?

Is this world really that fair?

Or is Qiu Tu truly powerful enough to establish his own system of fairness?

Thinking this, Jiang Zhenpeng couldn't help but ask, "By the way, what merit did Qiu Tu earn for being promoted to speaker this time?"

At this point, Jiang Zhenpeng paused for a moment, "If it weren't for an enormous achievement, it would be impossible for him, a newly appointed vice speaker, to be promoted, right?"

Upon hearing Jiang Zhenpeng's words, the secretary quickly replied, "I heard... that not long ago, the fifth-tier peak Great Evil God Muye attacked Dongcheng City and is eyeing Dongye Prefecture with covetous intent."

"Then, Speaker Huang promised that whoever could solve the problem of Twilight would be nominated by him to become the Speaker of the New State."

Jiang Zhenpeng had heard a little about this, so as he picked up the water on the table, he asked, "So... Qiu Tu went to negotiate with Mu Ye to stop Mu Ye from continuing to invade Dongye Prefecture?"

The secretary shook her head. "No, Speaker Qiu arrested Mu Ye and took him to Dongcheng City."

"Pfft—" Jiang Zhenpeng spat out a mouthful of tea, his head filled with question marks: ???

"Who? Qiu Tu? He captured a peak fifth-tier Great Evil God?"

The secretary was clearly skeptical of the news as well. So he said with an embarrassed expression, "Yes."

"Actually, I don't quite believe it either. But... that's exactly what the news is, and it came from Speaker Hwang's office."

Upon hearing his secretary's words, Jiang Zhenpeng felt quite uneasy.

Qiu Tu... captured a peak fifth-tier Great Evil God?

Is Qiu Tu too strong? Or is a peak fifth-tier Great Evil God too weak?

And, just by making a big contribution, one can become the Speaker of the New South Wales Parliament? Isn't that... a bit too frivolous?

After all, Qiu Tu is only a young man in his early twenties.

Whether it's qualifications... qualifications... or qualifications... they're all very poor.

In the shelter states, many highly qualified deputy speakers are eagerly awaiting their positions.

Even many members of the Supreme Council are seeking to be transferred to lower-level positions and become regional governors.

With so many people eyeing the position of Speaker of the New South Wales State Legislative Assembly, how did Qiu Tu manage to become it?

Faced with such enormous profits, Huang Shangzong's voice was far too weak. Even Elder Tang, behind Qiu Tu, found it difficult to make a decisive decision.

Jiang Zhenpeng has serious doubts... Can Qiu Tu really become the Speaker of the New South Wales State Legislative Assembly?

Don't open the champagne halfway through and end up becoming a joke...

.......

Meanwhile, in Qiming City.

At the military headquarters, several colonels were drinking and boasting.

"What happened to the peak fifth-tier Great Evil God?"

One of the colonels, drunk, said, "A peak fifth-tier evil god... a peak fifth-tier evil god... killing me is no different from a fourth-tier evil god, it's all one move!"

"Therefore, they are not much different from fourth-tier evil gods!"

Upon hearing the colonel's words, the other colonels burst into laughter, then clapped their hands and said, "That makes sense, that makes sense."

"So, whether Qiu Tu is a vice speaker or a speaker makes no difference to us. He can crush us with a single finger anyway!"

"Hahaha."

"Hahaha."

As the colonels were chatting enthusiastically, the door suddenly creaked open from the outside.

Several guards escorted a thin, bamboo-like man in a military green uniform with a gold star on his shoulder as he appeared at the door.

Upon seeing the man, the colonels were startled. They quickly stood up and looked at the thin man with tense expressions.

"General." "General." "General."

The man had a high nose bridge and a sinister expression on his face, making him look somewhat fierce.

Seeing the tense expressions on the faces of the colonels, he did not offer any words of comfort. Instead, he coldly grunted and said, "No talking about your superiors."

Upon hearing the man's words, the colonels immediately saluted and replied, "Yes, sir!"

The man gave the group a cold look and then left the room in his riding boots.

Watching the man's retreating figure, the colonels quickly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with lingering fear.

For a moment, I lost all interest in eating hot pot and drinking.

Unbeknownst to them, after leaving, the man continued his patrol of the military camp with his guards, scoffing, "Promoted to Speaker?"

"Does he really think he can get promoted to speaker just by making a contribution?"

"They even spread rumors to promote themselves. Don't they even know if they're worthy of it?"

"If he gets promoted to Speaker of the New South Wales Parliament, I, Shao Gang, will change my name!"

.....

Similar remarks were heard frequently among high-ranking officials in almost all 16 cities of Dongye Prefecture.

Although many people were shocked by the news, most of them didn't quite believe it.

After all, how old is Qiu Tu? A young man in his early twenties.

He'd only been an agent for two years. His promotion to vice speaker was already astonishing.

In addition, without any experience in governing a region, he directly became the speaker of a state council, a true regional governor.

This is absolutely appalling!
