592 Three Things! (2/2)
All he cared was to control everything, to take the initiative in all situation!
After a long time, the king finally gave up. He said, ”I come for a few things.”
The conversation finally started.
Ye Xiao sat up straight and said, ”Please, your majesty.”
The king spoke solemnly, ”First. Thank you for the seventy billion donation, Feng Monarch. Thank you for the kindness. It solved a great financial problem for the kingdom! It helped a great deal in the war affairs! Feng Monarch, you have high merit and worthy prospects. You took off the blade upon billion people’s necks. I am grateful!”
Ye Xiao smiled. ”I am flattered, your majesty. It is just a easy work. It really doesn’t mean anything. I may have saved many lives, but please, it is not my credit. It all depends on the Kingdom of Chen. Not me!”
The king’s face was a little stiff. And then he nicely said, ”Second. The five hundred billion price reward warrant has put the other two kingdoms in great danger. It helped the Kingdom of Chen a lot. I will always remember this.”
Ye Xiao waved his hand and smiled. ”That is overpraise again. I just want to take revenge. That’s all. I can’t just do nothing knowing somebody had put a bounty for my head. I didn’t do it for the Kingdom of Chen really. I don’t think I should be credited!”
The king sincerely spoke, ”No matter what you did it for, it benefited my kingdom a great deal! Feng Monarch, you did help the kingdom.”
And then he changed expression on the face. He spoke in a low voice, ”The third thing… In fact… Feng Monarch, how did you find out the unforgivable crime of my bastard son?”
Ye Xiao suddenly looked up and stared at the King.
There were sorrow, regret, and pain in the king’s eyes, but there was no hatred.
Ye Xiao shook his head and smiled. ”Why, your majesty? Why don’t you just say what you really want to say? I really don’t understand what you just said.”
The king shook his head and bitterly smiled. ”Feng Monarch, we don’t need to be obscure on this.”
Ye Xiao shook his head. ”Your majesty, that was a charge of death. How could I commit it?”
The king said, ”Ling-Bao Hall stands beyond all livings in the world. How will you die? Feng Monarch, one who dares to act should also dare to bear responsibility! Second Prince’s family was wiped out. The murderer should be extremely powerful, and he should lead a bunch of men. Those men killed like butchers. They are apparently well-trained assassins. That was an assassination group with strict discipline!”
”Only three forces in the world could lead such a group of assassins. Boundless Lake. House of the Chaotic Storms. Ling-Bao Hall!”
The King seriously spoke, ”House of the Chaotic Storms is rather powerful, but they would never attack people in the royal clan. They only do things in the dark, so it is not the House of the Chaotic Storms.”
”Boundless Lake. There are only a few golden label assassins in the Kingdom of Chen. Besides, they were seriously damaged in the previous disturbance. They are not in good condition. Besides, as I know about Boundless Lake and what I got to know about my bastard son, if Boundless Lake attacked him, that might not be a victory. Even if they won, they would have to pay a lot. Boundless Saint would never do that!”
”So, it all pointed to the last powerful force. Ling-Bao Hall is the only possible one.”
