Self-destruction

"An Rhys, An Rhys, I can't tell now, are you pretending to be stupid? Or are you really stupid?"

Although Thorian was smiling, his eyes were extremely cold: "You want physical evidence, I gave it to you; you want witnesses, I also gave it to you; now that both the physical and witnesses are there, even the criminal himself has confessed and asked for leniency, what else do you want?"

"Hmph! The officialdom is dark. I just want to ask for justice so that you won't kill innocent people!" An Rhys still looked righteous.

Some of the ministers who had previously agreed with him in remonstration now dared not say a word.

They had already realized that Thorian was really angry and did not dare to continue provoking him.

Of course, the most important reason is that they have lost their confidence at the moment.

As Thorian said, the ironclad evidence was right before their eyes and they had no choice but to believe it.

An Rhys is a member of the Rhys family and is Thorian's elder. The other party can act recklessly and brazenly, but they can't.

If Thorian is really angered, their family will be destroyed at best, and the clan will be exterminated at worst.

After all, the other party dared to arrest even the general of the city guards and the grand scholar of the Tianzhang Pavilion, let alone small characters like them.

"Who is innocent? Are you innocent? Or are they innocent?"

Thorian's eyes swept back and forth between An Rhys and the other ministers, and the murderous look on his face could hardly be concealed: "In my opinion, you old guys are all no good!"

"What do you mean by that? After you wrongly accused several adults, are you going to blame us?"

An Rhys held his head high, looking righteous and unyielding.

The other ministers of remonstration avoided his gaze and did not dare to respond.

"An Rhys, for the sake of the Rhys family, I will give you one last chance."

Thorian took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said: "As long as you take your people away now and don't make trouble here, I can pretend that nothing happened. I will put all the unpleasantness today behind me. If you still want to make trouble, don't blame me for being rude!"

"What? Threatening me?"

An Rhys snorted coldly: "I have been upright in my life and I am not afraid of threats from anyone, let alone a jerk like you. Even if the prince himself comes, I will remain true to my original intention and will never compromise!"

"Good! What a great person who never compromises!"

Thorian suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Since you are so upright, let me see if there is any black material on you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Thorian's smile disappeared and he shouted, "Wang Mang! Bring the law enforcement team immediately and conduct a comprehensive search of An Rhys's house. I suspect this man is corrupt and is protecting criminals!"

"I obey your orders!"

Wang Mang responded and turned to go out.

He had long disliked An Rhys, a clown who only knew how to make trouble unreasonably.

The young prince had been tolerant many times, but the other party did not know how to restrain himself and even went further.

This time, he would definitely turn his house upside down.

"Thorian! You, you, you...you are abusing your rights!"

Seeing the law enforcement team leave, An Rhys immediately became anxious and shouted, "I haven't broken any law or done anything wrong. Why are you searching my house?"

"Because I am now a member of the palace, is this reason enough?" Thorian responded coldly.

"The palace is under the control of the prince, not you. If you dare to act recklessly, I will immediately report you to the prince!" An Rhys threatened.

"Then go ahead and sue!" Thorian didn't care: "I want to see what you can say."

"You--!" An Rhys was choked.

The prince has been living in seclusion, so even if he wants to file a complaint, he won’t be able to find him for a while.

The law enforcement team has already started to take action. If they are not stopped quickly, his dirty tricks might be uncovered at any time.

"Thorian! You've been cruel today! Let's go!"

After hesitating for a few seconds, An Rhys finally compromised and prepared to leave with his people.

As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by a group of guards.

"Thorian! What do you mean?" An Rhys turned around suddenly.

"You come as you please, and leave as you please. What do you think this place is?"

Thorian said indifferently: "No one can leave today before the search results come out!"

"You...you shouldn't go too far!" An Rhys was furious.

He had already backed off, he had already given up, he had already prepared to leave, but Thorian was taking advantage of him. This was simply going too far!

"If you have nothing to hide, why not search it? Or are you guilty and doing some dirty deeds that are worth revealing?" Thorian was unmoved.

"Nonsense! I have lived an upright life and never done anything bad. Stop framing and slandering me!" An Rhys scolded.

"Don't be so excited. Let's sit down and wait. We should know whether you are honest or not before dark."

After saying that, Thorian ignored everyone else, sat down leisurely, and started to sip his tea.

A sudden storm revealed all these hidden demons and monsters.

He is still reluctant to start a war so as not to cause panic among the people.

But now, he has changed his mind.

If these termites are not eradicated in time, who knows how many lives will be harmed.

This time, he will scrape the bone to cure the poison and make a thorough cleanup! - Ton

Seems like it's not a story which we followed almost year. Now going like a serial without any proper scripts

Same story. Just that pacing is so slow that's why some readers might think this way. But when doing a fast read like those members of our Discord (we have the complete copy posted there), it does not feel this way unless one arrives at the last update part again :D

I got it Ton. I know it's a same story because I am following this blog from day 1 when blog got started. Just saying story moving very slowly without any main characters like dustin natasha grace. Atleast dustin should be there right
I thought more than few weeks we are not able to see dustin name in chapters. That's why I feel like that

When the door opened, everyone's attention was drawn to it. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Thorian Rhys walked out with two guards. "Young Prince?!" When everyone saw him, they immediately greeted him with a smile on their faces. Whether it was the general soldier of the city guard, the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion, or the general Longwei, they all looked flattering. The gentleman in front of them was a famous devil. Although he had restrained himself a little in the past two years, he still had some power. The prince should at least talk about reason. This guy was a time bomb when he was in trouble. They had suffered a lot in the past. "Young Prince, you finally came out. I have something important to report. Please, young prince..." "Get out of the way!" The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion came forward with a charming smile on his face. Just when he was about to say a few words, Thorian Rhys thought he was in t...

Questioning

The law enforcement team worked very efficiently, and in just one hour, they brought all three people back to the palace. When they entered the door, according to Thorian's request, Wang Mang arranged for the three of them to have a brief meeting, but did not give them a chance to speak. Afterwards, the three were taken to different rooms and guarded separately. Due to the identities of the three people, the law enforcement team did not force them. On the contrary, they treated them with good tea and wine. The only restriction is that they cannot leave the room and can only wait to be summoned by the young prince. General Longwei was placed under house arrest in Room No. 1, the city guard commander was placed under house arrest in Room No. 2, and the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was placed under house arrest in Room No. 3. The three people's rooms were close to each other, separated by only a wall. They could see each other when they went out, but they coul...

Arrest and Interrogation

"Um?" Hearing this, even General Long Wei couldn't help but frown. The palace law enforcement team is never dispatched easily, but once they are called upon, it is basically an earth-shattering event. The question is, is a mere legitimate son of the Duncan family qualified to be looked upon by the young prince in this way? "General, are you sure that the royal palace law enforcement team has really been dispatched? And is it because of Zhengjun Duncan?" General Long Wei asked back. "Of course it's true!" The city guard commander said with a serious face: "The higher-ups have just issued an order that the captain of the palace law enforcement team will temporarily take over my position as commander. Now the city defense affairs, including public security investigations, are under the full control of the law enforcement team!" "Strange, why would the young prince make such a fuss for such a small role?" General Long ...
