Chapter 1191: Power Struggle
— Zabo, have you been lying to me all this time? the beautiful woman's pupils dilated.
Zabo, on the other hand, didn't even raise an eyebrow at her question.
— Iron Hand, I can give you anything you want, money, women ... " As he spoke, he took the backpack off his back and threw it at Su Xiao's feet.
With a clatter, gems and gold coins scattered on the ground.
*Crackle...*
Su Xiao crushed the gems and gold coins that rolled out. Right now, he really needed money, but he needed clean money that could be used without any buts».
— I have a daughter, her name is Elena, she is already 13 years old. If you let me go, I'll give it to you.
His desire to survive was so strong that he decided to give up everything human.
— Hahaha, what am I talking about? God, are you punishing me for what I did? The high priest suddenly burst out laughing, causing the veins on his face to swell. "Bai Herbert, one day you will be punished!!! Zabo roared and pulled a long-bladed dagger from his belt, then pulled his wife closer to him.
With a whoosh, the dagger pierced through the beautiful woman's chest and stabbed into Zabo's chest.
The blade of the dagger was very poisonous.
— Angia, I'm sorry, " Zabo said softly.
The beautiful woman looked at her husband and smiled. — Very well.
— Even though I said such ugly words, you still forgave me. You are a gift sent to me from heaven by God himself.
Zabo's face was rapidly turning blue.
— Why should I forgive you? You're too scared and we don't have a daughter, " the woman said before her body went limp.
— Bye Herbert, and you, Iron Hand, just wait! I'll be waiting for you in hell. The angry dead will eat you alive. What's hidden under the throne...
*Poof-poof-poof...*
Swords drawn and shouts drowned out Zabo's words.
A dozen Royal Guards hacked the high priest and his wife to pieces.
— Su Xiao muttered and narrowed his eyes.
According to the rules, even the Royal Guards couldn't take any action against officials of this rank, even if they helped with their elimination by Iron Hand.
But now, they've just hacked this pair into pieces. Why wasn't he allowed to go on this case alone, but instead given these people, these real killing machines, to help him? It didn't look so easy now. What did Zabo want to say before he died? What was hidden under the throne? Some kind of curse? A weapon? And "under the throne" was quite a stretch. This combination could indicate both literally the land under the throne, and the entire palace, or even the entire capital of the kingdom.
After the ten royal Guards dismembered the high priest and his wife, they quickly walked over to Su Xiao and knelt down on one knee.
Just now they had exceeded their authority and according to the laws Su Xiao could kill them on the spot.
— Zabo died by my sword today, " Su Xiao said, causing the ten royal Guards to lower their heads even lower. Could Iron Hand really kill unwanted people without a twinge of conscience? No, he had to maintain a certain balance. If used correctly, such a status could keep the entire capital at bay, and if used incorrectly, it could die in a matter of moments. The previous person who took the position of Iron Hand was only able to live for 12 days, but the current Iron Hand had been in power for two years.
Realizing that Su Xiao was serious, the royal guards quickly moved to stand behind him.
Three targets were eliminated, leaving only Chief Justice Herve Anthony, who lived in the south of the capital, to be killed..
Since the kingdom's capital occupied a large area, it took Su Xiao about half an hour to reach the house of Chief Justice Herve.
It was not a rich neighborhood, so almost the entire street was plunged into pitch darkness, and now in the vicinity you could only occasionally hear the croaking of frogs.
The cool night breeze dispersed the smell of blood from Su Xiao's body.
Su Xiao himself was currently squatting on the ground in one of the residential buildings.
He felt that the atmosphere of the building in front of him was a bit strange.
— Bubtney, here's a portrait of Herve Anthony. Remember it well. You will be responsible for finding it. If something goes wrong, you'll have to find a way to apprehend him, " Su Xiao said and took out the portrait of the man.
Bubtney's face immediately leaned forward and almost stuck to the portrait. Ten seconds later, he looked at Su Xiao, and his large watery eyes seemed to want to ask, " Master, are you kidding? Isn't that the head of a giant panda?»
Bubtney's reaction was quite normal. This portrait was drawn with a fountain pen and it was executed only in black and white, and the level of the artist of this portrait left much to be desired, so it was not difficult to imagine what was drawn on it..
— Try to find him, " Su Xiao said in a low tone, to which Bubtney sighed and stared at the portrait.
A few minutes later, Bubtney nodded, clearly remembering his purpose.
— Ready?
— Woof~ ... " said Bubtney in a low tone. From the outside, he looked like a calm and experienced dog, but in reality, his head was full of doubts right now.
Who was his target? Where was she now? How would he even be able to find her?
— Get ready, " Su Xiao said and looked at the old courtyard in front of him. They were right in front of Chief Justice Herve's residence. Although it wasn't big, it looked a little shabby. If Su Xiao didn't know about the supreme judge's affairs, he would have thought that he was an honest official.
Such purges could not be carried out in a quiet environment. Only through a public execution could other officials be forced to keep their composure.
— Leave no one alive.
*Boom!*
Amu immediately charged forward as if he were a tank and smashed his body through the outer wall of the Chief Justice's residence.
— We're under attack! a roar rang out, and the dark courtyard began to quickly light up with fire.
In less than ten seconds, the courtyard was lit up by dozens of torches, and warriors with round shields in their hands began to come out from everywhere.
The Chief Justice was not as simple as he appeared at first glance. He clearly understood that he had already done a lot of things, so naturally, he was always on his guard. It was precisely because of this that he lived on the outskirts of the capital and secretly hired mercenaries for his own safety.
Actually, creating his own private army was the perfect solution in his situation, but the chief Justice wasn't that stupid. He was well aware that the entire capital was in the hands of the king, so he was only willing to resort to a relatively hidden method and ended up hiring mercenaries from all over the kingdom, and with his power, he secretly redirected them to the capital.
The current king had seen through all of the supreme Judge's tricks, but he didn't take any action against him due to the fact that he could eliminate him at any time.
But even though the current king could easily eliminate him, the new king wouldn't be able to accomplish something like this without significant sacrifices.
In the end, all of this resulted in the current king deciding to give Herva Anthony one last chance to show his loyalty. After all, this supreme judge had devoted his entire life to the kingdom, but unfortunately, Herve chose to ignore him.
Ten of the King's Guards advanced to meet the mercenaries. These mercenaries weren't newbies. They were all experienced warriors and could even stop the Royal Guards for a while.
Su Xiao also moved straight towards the entrance of the building and his sword was drawn for just a moment, but immediately two heads fell to the ground.
Without any problems, he found himself right in front of the entrance of a slightly dilapidated building.
*Boom*
Splinters of wood flew in all directions. Su Xiao kicked the door off its hinges with a single kick and the first thing he saw was a wide staircase.
Right in front of this staircase was a bald man with a lizard tattoo on his head.
— I heard that you are the strongest warrior in the capital. It just so happens that I really want to know how strong the strongest warrior of this damned capital is. All the really strong warriors are on the front lines. Only idiots and ignoramuses stay in the capital, " the bald man said and yawned. His eyes were green, but he wasn't undead.
He was a holy warrior, but he was exiled from the kingdom in the past.
Money could make the whole world go round, not to mention this holy warrior.
The battle for the throne in this world was fierce. All those who died last night lost in this battle for power.
In fact, the battle for the throne had already begun that night.
