Attacking the Heart

Ten minutes later, General Long Wei was asked to leave Room No. 1 again.

But compared to the beginning, Wang Mang's attitude took a 180-degree turn and became very enthusiastic.

"General, the young prince has already investigated everything. This incident has nothing to do with you. We made a mistake. Please forgive us for any offense we caused you."

Wang Mang smiled apologetically and lowered his attitude.

"Um?"

Looking at the fawning Wang Mang in front of him, General Longwei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, appearing quite surprised.

Not long ago, the two sides were on the verge of a showdown. How come they suddenly became so enthusiastic?

"Have you really investigated it thoroughly?" General Long Wei asked tentatively.

"Of course! According to our investigation, the reason why Zhengjun Duncan disappeared was because he was seeking revenge for his enemies in Stonia."

Wang Mang said seriously, "This guy was domineering and overbearing outside, causing a lot of trouble. He deserves what he got today. The reason why the young prince investigated it strictly was to give the Duncan family an explanation for the sake of face. Since it is not a personal grudge in Stonia, it has nothing to do with us in West Lucozia."

"So that's how it is..." General Long Wei glanced at the people around him meaningfully.

I secretly underestimated myself: If I hadn't destroyed the body myself, I would have really believed your lies.

"General, this time it was our lack of consideration that caused you to suffer losses here. In order to express my apology, the young prince has specially set up a table in the mansion and intends to treat you to a meal to make amends." Wang Mang said with a smile.

"General Wang, you are too polite. The young prince asked me to cooperate with the investigation, which is only natural. I don't deserve an apology or anything like that." General Long Wei said calmly.

The change in Thorian's attitude made him a little unpredictable.

What exactly is the other party up to?

One moment he uses threats and inducements, the next he hosts a warm banquet. Is there some conspiracy behind this?

"No matter what, the young prince feels guilty. It's just a meal. The general will not ignore us, right?" Wang Mang smiled.

"This..." General Long Wei hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Since the young prince has spoken, I will be disrespectful to refuse."

"General, please come this way!" Wang Mang smiled slightly and enthusiastically took General Long Wei away.

And this scene happened to be witnessed by the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion.

Looking at the burly figure of General Longwei and Wang Mang's enthusiastic attitude, the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion could not help but frown, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

"Excuse me, was the person who just passed by General Longwei?" The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion asked the royal guards beside him.

"That's right." The guard on the left replied, "This time the law enforcement team is investigating the real culprit. The general has reported it. The young prince will host a grand banquet for the general tonight."

"There is such a thing?" The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion's face changed slightly, and he felt more and more uneasy.

"Shut up! Who told you to say these? If the young prince finds out, I'll tear your mouth apart!" The guard on the right shouted in a low voice.

The guard on the left was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.

The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion saw the performance of both of them, and at this moment, he felt very heavy in his heart.

Zhengjun Duncan's death is definitely related to General Long Wei, so why did the other party report it?

What is going on?

With mixed emotions, the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion followed two bodyguards all the way forward and finally entered the conference room.

At this moment, in the meeting room.

Thorian sat in the middle with an indifferent expression, and every move he made exuded an invisible pressure.

"Your humble servant... greets the young prince!"

After Tianzhang Pavilion Grand Secretary entered the room, he bowed respectfully to Thorian.

"Grand Secretary, do you know why you are here?" Thorian said lightly.

"I don't know. Please tell me, Your Highness." The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion lowered his head, feeling a little uneasy.

"Do you really not know? Or are you pretending to be stupid?" Thorian had a blank expression on his face.

"Your humble servant..."

The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was about to speak when he heard a loud bang and a teacup suddenly fell at his feet.

Broken pieces of porcelain, along with tea, splashed all over his legs.

The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was so frightened that his whole body shuddered. He looked up in surprise, just in time to meet Thorian's cold and murderous eyes.

"Mr. Wang! You'd better tell me the truth. If there is even a lie in there, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship!" Thorian shouted angrily.

Seeing this, the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion broke out in a cold sweat and said in a terrified manner, "Young Prince, please calm down. I am old and my memory is not good. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."

"Humph! Don't give me that!"

Thorian stepped forward aggressively, staring down at the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion, and said coldly: "Someone reported it with their real name, saying that you killed Zhengjun Duncan and then destroyed the body. You are so bold that you even dare to touch my guests. I think you are tired of living!"

When these words were spoken, the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was so frightened that his face changed drastically, and he fell to his knees with a thump.

"My young prince! It's unfair! It's unfair!"

The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion cried and cried out: "I have been an official for decades. Although I have accepted bribes, I have never killed anyone. Someone must have framed me. Please investigate, little prince!"

After saying that, he slammed his head on the ground, hitting it several times with "bang, bang, bang", causing his head to bleed. - Ton

Life or Death?

At this moment, Hera was completely terrified. When she saw Dustin effortlessly dissolve her attack, she had already started thinking about retreating. Her instincts told her that Dustin was not someone to be trifled with --- he was an extremely dangerous individual. Still, she clung to a sliver of hope, thinking that with Zeus by her side, the two of them together might still stand a chance. But now, after watching Zeus get severely injured and lose an arm with just one strike, she completely panicked. Her strength was already a bit weaker than Zeus’. If even Zeus couldn’t withstand a single strike from Dustin, there was no way she could either. So, the instant she saw Dustin raise his hand again, Hera didn’t hesitate for even a moment. She pushed off with her feet, launching herself into the air like a streak of light, fleeing rapidly into the sky. At this point, all she wanted was to save her own life. As for Zeus’s survival? That was no longer her concern. Rig...

Elder Whitebone

Li Juntang knew the white figure was powerful, but he hadn’t expected it to be this powerful. In just a matter of minutes, the figure had devoured the overwhelming red mist using a technique like a divine dragon drawing in water, leaving not a trace behind. Such divine ability was far beyond anything he could imagine. Seeing it with his own eyes was far more shocking than anything he’d heard. Once the red mist vanished, the white figure waved a hand, and the energy vortex quickly dissipated. A blood-red bead slowly floated down from high above and finally landed in the white figure’s palm. Seeing the opportunity was ripe, Li Juntang immediately channeled his true qi and shouted, “You have dispersed the poisonous mist with divine powers and saved the entire city from disaster. I, Li Juntang, thank you on behalf of the people of this city. May I have the honor of meeting you face to face to express our gratitude properly?” This statement was skillfully crafted --- first, p...

Transcendent and Otherworldly

A burst of golden light suddenly appeared, neutralizing Zeus’s attack and at the same time saving Margaret from having her cultivation abolished. As the golden light gradually faded, a handsome young man emerged before the crowd. His hair was completely white, his clothes were ragged, but his entire being exuded a transcendent and otherworldly aura. He stood there silently in front of Margaret, like an unshakable mountain. “Dustin?” Seeing the white-haired, handsome man, Margaret finally let out a long breath of relief. She knew she was saved --- and so was everyone in the ancient temple. Although Dustin now had white hair, his appearance hadn’t changed much. But the aura he carried was now touched with an undefinable trace of divinity --- something she had never sensed before. And that alone was enough to prove that Dustin had broken through to a new realm. “You’ve worked hard.” Dustin turned and gave Margaret a gentle nod. A strand of golden light suddenly pou...
