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

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...

Trouble Arrives at the Door

“I was quite surprised that I managed to bring back the Dragon Source Qi so smoothly this time. Honestly, I was even prepared to fall out completely with Li Juntang,” said Dustin. “Oh? How so?” Margarert raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. Dustin didn't hold back. He carefully recounted everything that had happened, including Li Juntang’s sudden and unusual friendliness, as well as Hongniang’s intervention and her decision to follow him. “What do you think Li Juntang is really up to? He was incredibly suspicious of me just a day before --- nearly fought me --- yet the next day he completely changed, became overly friendly, and even gifted me one of the great beauties from the Rouge List. It's baffling.” Dustin shook his head. “In my view, this probably has something to do with Li Juntang’s mother, Consort Spanner,” Margarert said after a moment of contemplation. “Consort Spanner is shrewd and calculating. She must have realized that Li Juntang isn't your match...

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...
