“Honestly, we shouldn’t waste time debating who’s better suited to be king. We just need to figure out who’s most likely to take the throne,” Jensen said matter-of- factly.

As a businessman, he only cared about maximizing profit. To him, it didn’t matter who sat on the throne but who had the best odds. He felt that backing that person would be the wisest choice.

“Who’s most likely depends on who has the strongest backing,” Jonathan said thoughtfully.
