Chapter 2074 The Transfer of Power

The two of them immediately began working together to ensure that the transfer of power would go smoothly. "It won't take me too long to void all the agreements and contracts now that news of your return has spread through the world," Rui calmly remarked. "However, I doubt that you want me to get rid of all of them at once."

The Emperor of Harmony nodded appreciatively. "Should you let go of all your power faster than I can make it mine, then the probability that I may fail to monopolize it is now low enough."

Rui shrugged. "I think you're underestimating how popular you are, Father. Too many people hold you in far too high regard for anybody to possibly win that power from you."

"Be that as it may," his father continued. "It is not worth taking a risk for. I want to minimize the probability of anything going wrong."

"…Fair enough," Rui nonchalantly remarked. "What plans for the transfer of power do you have? I was thinking of holding a mass conference with my stakeholders to tell them that I would eventually be planning to support you and prime them to join you. However, that is a crude way of going about it."

Rui was just extremely impatient to get it over with.

Rui was aware of this, of course.
