2046 Her Rage 4 (2/2)

The mussel's blood burned with righteous ardor. It nodded eagerly in response.

Gu Xijiu finally turned to look at Tie Liu and the other three men. ”It is your turn now, all four of you.”

Her voice was calm, but the look in her eyes was lethal. ”You have to pay the price for the evil plan that you have plotted against me!”

All four of them were utterly shocked.

Tie Zheng responded quickly, ”Don't you try to make slanderous accusations against us! You are the one who supports the malign nature of the monstrous mussel. We were only acting under orders. How is that a plot? If you had not shown up, we would never know that you were the master of the mussel.”

”Acting under orders? If those were really your orders, why didn't you send it back to the ninth heaven for a proper joint hearing? Why did you come here to torture it privately without a legal trial? ”

”About that... we are here because we have other matters to attend to. We have to stay for two days, so we might as well interrogate the mussel here to ease the emperor's mind about the massacre.”

”How was it an interrogation when everything was scripted, even with the involvement of brutal torments?”

”We… We have to. It has killed so many innocent majestic beings, messing the order of the Saha World. It behaved so violently. There is absolutely no wrong with the use of torture.”

Gu Xijiu gave them a threatening look. ”You have been saying that it is the killer of the majestic beings. Where is the proof?”

”We saw it fighting against three majestic beings with our own eyes. It even swallowed them.”

”How did you know that it was not defending itself? How did you make sure that it was also the killer of other majestic beings?”
