Chapter 2021: Whats Wrong With A Man Being Perverted?

This texture! This taste! How can it be so delicious!

Noahs eyes widened. Tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably, and soon slid down his cheeks.

This scrumptious sensation was simply too touching.

This food made a grown man weep, and ripped the s.h.i.+rt of a 700-year-old man. Was this the test of humanity

A grown man weeping over a tiny dessert, Merante said disdainfully.

Noah sniffled as he reminded Merante, Then pull up your s.h.i.+rt first, Grandpa. Take care of your image.

The tiny salted egg yolk pastry went into their stomachs soon.

The two of them looked at each other, and saw the unfulfillment in each others eyes.

If it werent for the fact that they couldnt go out now, and they were embarra.s.sed to ask Boss Mag for more, they could easily eat another 10.

Come, lets eat. Noah took out the braised chicken, sat down, and started eating.

They didnt know if it was because they had missed breakfast, but the braised chicken and rice tasted extra delicious today. Even the rice tasted better as they chewed.

The news of the great generals residence being burnt down and Great General Blum being a.s.sa.s.sinated last night had already spread in the city of Rodu. It became one of the peoples hot after-meal discussion topics.

Together with the ma.s.sacres of the few Ministry of Defenses courtiers in the past two days, all the courtiers began to fear for their lives. Even the ordinary folks were terrified.

Furthermore, there were gossips that General Blum had called out the name of the second prince, Josh, before he died, and the 10th-tier knight Lear, who was in charge of his protection, mentioned Josh too.

There was also news that the orders to invade the orcs and the elves were also given by Josh behind the kings back. He ma.s.sacred the Ministry of Defenses courtiers families because he was furious over getting exposed.

Of course, such news couldnt be spread aboveboard, but because it was shocking and rather reasonable, it began to spread uncontrollably.

Of course, the news of Great General Blums horrible death spread together with that bit of gossip. Some said he had met a ghost, while others said Josh was the devil.

No matter which piece of news it was, they were all terrifying and nerve-wracking.

Moreover, n.o.body had seen Josh going to court during this time, so it sort of proved the authenticity of this news circ.u.mstantially.

The palace.

In the royal study, Andre swept the doc.u.ments that were piled up high onto the floor, and yelled angrily, b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

The courtiers in the royal study lowered their heads in fear. They didnt dare to make a sound.

Lear stood in a corner with his head lowered nervously too.

He reported the incident to His Majesty in the palace last night. The king was furious, and ordered 10-odd 10th-tier powerhouses to comb through Rodu a few times, but the suspect couldnt be found.

Richard bowed, and said, Your Majesty, this matter hasnt been investigated thoroughly yet, but there were already rumors about Prince Josh becoming the devils puppet and ma.s.sacring the courtiers. I think we should stop the spread of such rumors.

Andres gaze landed on Richard. It was razor-sharp.

Sweat began to bead on Richards forehead.

Then, you will go get me Josh, and let him explain to me face to face, Andre said coldly.

I have no idea where Prince Josh is right now. Richards voice quivered.

If so, how can you prove that he is innocent? Lear saw with his own eyes. Blum called out his name before he died. Have you seen his body? If he hadnt seen something so horrifying, how could an experienced veteran general have died of fright? How could he have gotten drained of all his blood? Andres tone became piercing.

Richard dropped to his knees with a plop, and his sweat began to drip onto the floor.

Andre coldly said, Find him. However, I dont want to hear anything about this incident anywhere else.

Yes! all the courtiers answered, and a few of them quickly left.

All of you may go now. Lear, stay back, Andre said.

All the courtiers left, and Lear was the only one who stayed.

Are you certain that it was Josh that you saw last night? Andre asked Lear.

Yes. Although he was wearing a black robe, I wounded him when I was fighting with him. I happened to see his face, and I am certain that it was Prince Josh. Lear nodded.

He is a magic caster who has never learned how to wield a sword. Andre frowned.

His movements were s.h.i.+fty and weird. He didnt fight with me directly, but his power should be above the 9th-tier, and not that of a magic casters. Furthermore, there was an uncomfortable aura emanating from him. It made one fearful when one got close to him. Lear recalled the situation where he fought with the man in black robe last night. He was still getting chills down his back.

Andre nodded slightly, and frowned silently for a while before waving his hand, and said, You may leave.

Yes, Lear answered, and quickly retreated out of the royal study.

Andre sat down slowly. He was silent for a long time before saying to a corner, What do you think about this?

A black shadow slowly appeared from the corner, and said hoa.r.s.ely, Your Majesty, Lear isnt lying. Blums corpse is indeed weird too. I checked the scene last night, and an eerie evil aura was indeed found there. Although I am not certain that it was done by the second prince, Im afraid it has something to do with the devil.

Find him and bring him back to me, Andre said.

Yes.

Whats going on now? Seems like Josh has indeed become the devils puppet. He has even killed Blum. Im afraid he will kill more people to start a war so that he can absorb more resentment, Louis, who was next to the window, told Douglas, who was sitting at the table.

It seems like Andre doesnt want anyone else to know about it. Even when his son has done him a misdeed behind his back, he would rather undertake all this silently himself after he came back, Douglas coldly said. But we cant let him cover this up. The Norland Continent will never have peace if the devil a.s.sumes control over him too.

So?

We will pull off his underwear since he wants to cover it up.

Woah. Are you that perverted?

Whats wrong with a man being perverted?

Its great. I like it. But, what do we do?

Since he doesnt want people to know about this, we will make this known to everyone on the Norland Continent, and make Josh a wanted man. We will find him, and then kill him, Douglas said coldly.

I need to run an errant. Im going to get a letter, Mag informed Irina before going out.

The Gray Temple had an office in Rodu. As an individual who had received the highest clearance, Mag had gotten in touch with the Gray Temples office on the first day that he arrived at Rodu. He could receive the latest intel every day.

This was much more convenient and accurate than the intel that he had to search for and buy outside himself. These were the latest first-hand news. Perhaps even Michael hadnt even received them yet..
