Chapter 1620: The Truth is Revealed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a whole day of mucking about, it was finally revealed that Wei Zhonglie’s reason for arresting Bai Linsu and her friends was not for fun but because of news about what happened back in Violet Reborn. The news had eventually reached Green Hill Starfield.

Upon hearing this, Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang began to panic.

He who murders pays a forfeit of his life! There was such a law in Green Hill Starfield!

If Wei Zhonglie were to incriminate them on this account and execute the three of them, it would be considered reasonable and fair – a legitimate act in this place!

Even the Empress Bai Ziyan would not be able to intervene! In fact, she would not dare intervene!

This was no joke! This really was a matter of life and death!

Fear was written all over Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang’s faces but because they had drunk the Black Jade Ethereal Force Sealing solution, and therefore could not put up a fight.

Rendered unable to use their Ethereal Force, they could only wait for death!

Despair filled both Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang.

But Chen Xiaobei was unperturbed. “A life for a life! If I have to pay with my life for killing someone, then if someone else kills me, would they have to pay with their life as well?”

“Of course?” Wei Zhonglie answered. “Green Hill Starfield’s laws are fair! Nobles and commoners who violate the law would be punished the in the same way!”

“That’s great!” Chen Xiaobei broke into a smile. “I was on my own when I travelled through the portal and had not done anything against the law but the Yi Family wanted to kill me so they could get their hands on my Infinite Space Ring! The other powerful families of Violet Reborn and thousands of other people can be witness to this! If you don’t believe me, you can go find out for yourself! All the Yi Family’s elites came to kill me! If I hadn’t fought back, I would have died! Based on what you said just now, the members of the Yi Family are the ones who committed the crime and, by law, should be executed! Wasn’t it entirely justified for me to have killed them?”

Chen Xiaobei said this in a tone that was neither overbearing nor obsequious!

Those who murder are the ones who deserve to die!

“That…” Wei Zhonglie was speechless.

“In my opinion, this is all a misunderstanding. Prince Regent, you don’t need to trouble yourself. Just let us go!”

“Let you go? No way! That’s just your side of the story. I don’t even if it’s true!”

“If you don’t believe me, you can go and look into it!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “I can guarantee that the three most powerful families and tens of thousands of citizens of Violet Reborn would testify on my behalf!”

“You guarantee? On what basis?” Wei Zhonglie asked.

“I am not at liberty to inform you!” Chen Xiaobei chuckled.

Chen Xiaobei was so confident because the three remaining powerful families all wanted a piece of the Yi Family!

If the Yi Family was portrayed as the victim and received the protection of the royal family, the three powerful families’ dreams would then be destroyed.

On the contrary, only if the Yi Family was made out to be the criminal and relinquished by the royal family, would they be able to reap the rewards.

There was no doubt that these three families would side with Chen Xiaobei and testify against the Yi Family.

As for the rest of the people of Violet Reborn who would have to depend on the three families, they too would speak against the Yis.

When Chen Xiaobei left, he did not take anything from the Yi Family, as to leave a way out for himself for times as such as this.

Chen Xiaobei was very certain about what the Violet Reborn people were going to say, so he had no problem with Wei Zhonglie going there to investigate.

As a matter of fact, Chen Xiaobei was telling the truth. If Wei Zhonglie were to look into the matter, he would find that everything happened just as Chen Xiaobei had described.

“You really are something!” Wei Zhonglie squinted at Chen Xiaobei. “You have everything right, but you underestimate me! I will not let you off the hook so easily!”

Chen Xiaobei frowned. “Prince Regent, didn’t you say that you are loyal? According to Green Hill’s laws, you are supposed to release us!”

“Law?” Wei Zhonglie grinned. “This is the Black Phantom Bureau! All our 10,000 Black Armor Guards are my loyal servants! In here, my word is the law!”

“Your word is the law?” Chen Xiaobei’s eyebrows raised. “So, you’re saying that, you the Prince Regent are the most powerful person in Green Hill?”

“So, what if I am?!” Wei Zhonglie raised his chin vaingloriously.

“Then what about her Royal Highness? How are you going to explain killing us to her?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“Explain?” Wei Zhonglie laughed contemptuously. “Heh, why would I need to explain my actions to anyone?”

Bai Linsu was furious. “Wei Zhonglie! You’ve finally revealed your true self!”

“True self? What true self?” Wei Zhonglie retorted.

“You are using the Black Phantom Bureau to control Green Hill” Bai Linsu snarled. “You claim that you are loyal but in reality, you defy the Empress and you defy the law! You murder people who do not conform to your ways in cold blood and you monopolize power! You crueI bastard! have all the reasons to suspect that you, Wei Zhonglie, are a traitor!”

Linghu Shuang’s widened in horror.

But Chen Xiaobei showed no surprise, because it was all within his expectation.

Bai Linsu had been unwilling to share the secrets of Green Hill’s royal family.

Under such conditions though, through this emotional outburst, Bai Linsu laid bare her disgust and hatred towards Wei Zhonglie!

All that pent-up secrets buried deep inside her heart was revealed.

And all these important clues allowed Chen Xiabei to get closer to the truth.

The truth was out.

“Heh, hehehe…” Wei Zhonglie sniggered. “You could no longer hide your true self either, could you? Ever since the Emperor went missing, you have been out searching for him! You were going to find him so that he can kill me, right?”

“Yes!” Bai Linsu answered truthfully. “I cannot stand your overbearance! I cannot stand watching you push my sister around! I cannot stand seeing you hogging all the power, and you treating Green Hill as your private property! When the Emperor returns, he will make sure to get rid of the cancerous growth that you are from Green Hill! I look forward to that day!”

“Very good! I admire your courage!” Wei Zhonglie narrowed his eyes and snarled, “Do you know what the consequences are for saying these things?”

“We all know it’s death!” Bai Linsu spat. “You never intended to let the three of us go anyway!”

“The three of you? Oh, I really didn’t think you’d be that naïve!” Wei Zhonglie sneered. “It’s not just the three of you who would have to die today!”

“You… You’re going to kill my sister too?” Bai Linsu’s voice rose an octave. “No… You wouldn’t dare! You still need the Empress to stabilize the whole thing! You wouldn’t dare kill her!”

“You’re right. Bai Zixuan is an important puppet. Of course, I won’t kill her!” Wei Zhonglie said delightedly. “But, that worthless seed in her womb cannot stay!”

Chen Xiaobei and Bai Linsu exploded with rage at this statement.

In a world of shallow-minded, materialistic mortals, what would one from humble beginnings – whose face had been stomped on, spat on, oppressed for the longest while by the arrogant, pampered upper echelons of society – do, when a mysterious application pops up on a brand new phone that was meant to be the birthday gift of an ungrateful girlfriend? What if the application takes the form of a chatroom where its occupants, bearing the names of mythical, fictional beings, start giving out ‘Red Packets’, all the while spouting nonsense?
