BOOOM!

A loud explosion followed by screams resounded.

Leia, who tried to escape, was held by Sean and William.

"Brother, what are you doing?"She feigned ignorance.

Sean didn't reply and without any mercy kicked her and sent her flying in disgust.

Lesche, who finally gave up asking for help from those around him was forced to kneel and open his mouth staring at him.

"So, what are you doing now?"

"Your in-laws have already been killed and devoured by us and let me tell you something, your own family had a hand in it."

Alex squinted at Leia's pale face as if she had not expected things to develop like this. She gave Alex's hateful gaze and then stared at Lesche.

"You will regret it. Your Majesty, you will regret killing me like this."

Alex lowered his body and made eye contact with him, asking with a smile that made one spine chill by looking at him.

"Regret? Why would I regret it?"

"I guess I can say now."

"Where are you hiding the bugs? What a clever plan! For establishing yourself you decided to take over Lockheart and fund the groups secretly?"

"Alas!"

Alex clicked his tongue.

"You underestimated your daughter so much? Do you think you can run rampant under my eyes just like you poisoned everyone's wine and also planted a magic bomb under the Imperial Castle that can blow everyone?"

"Leia, I thought you wanted the Throne but it turned out you are just a suicidal squad bitch."Alex spat.

"What?"Leia shrieked.

Every word that came out of Alex's mouth turned Lesche and Leia's faces white.

"Shut up bitch, you were nothing but a plaything, "Lesche screamed.

"How dare you?"Leia screamed, losing her composure.

Alex stared in amazement at the scene.He was sure that Leia did not know the origin of the group otherwise she was not that foolish to step into a sinking ship.

"How...How..."

"How the hell did you find out?"

Alex laughed inwardly.

From the very fast moment Alex saw them he was sure something was wrong.

Lockhearts were merchants. Even if the head of the group was talented and strong, one could not be so strong.

How can a head of the merchant group be Supreme without the world knowing about it?

Even his mother-in-law was at Saint Realm. It was unbelievable. The problem was that Alex was not able to find out clearly what had happened nor he could find people in darkness disguising themselves.

He asked Yvonne to trace the flow of wealth and after they started hitting the organisation they found that most of them had statements of money withdrawal from Lockheart.

It was only now after he mastered his power, he understood.

Yvonne's parents, just like Riya, were almost eaten by the darkness realm seed. They are alive but their consciousness has been overshadowed by darkness.

Similarly, there may be many more like this.

Lesche was no fool.

Therefore if negotiations failed, he prepared several devices to intimidate The Emperor.

But none of these measures was able to draw out his attention as the things he had done in the back flowed out one after another and it made him feel as if they were sticking their necks naked in front of the guillotine.

"Do you feel anger?"

"Do you want to know how I knew about all this?"

Alex laughed, giving Leia a scrutinising gaze.

"Because my eyes are a bit competent."

That moment...

THUD!

"Spare me, Your Majesty."

"Please have mercy, I was blind. I did not know all this."Leia cried, hitting her head.

Following her gesture Lesche also begged for his life.

Is it because everything about him was exposed?

Lesche and Leia banged their heads strongly on the ground and began to plead with Alex.

"From now on, I will never be noticed by Your Majesty, and I will live like a dead mouse. If I could give all my fortune, I would give it out. I will defend against the bloodthirsty demons in the Northern frontiers, so please let me live."

It was as if he was about to give up everything he had achieved so far but there was no hesitation in his eyes.

However, as soon as he heard Alex's words that followed.

"So much drama for the things that have not been achieved by you."

There was no such thing as mercy in front of the man.

If not for his father-in-law still residing in the body, he would have already dragged this guy tearing into tatters.

Whoosh!

A black-light burst out from Leches whole body, along with a sound that sounded like a scream.

A method left as a last resort in case everything failed.

In an instant, a dark beam of light in the form of a sharp spear shot straight at Alex.

"Your Majesty!"

The attack speed was so fast as if it was par with the speed of light.

The knights reacted a bit late and the black mass from Lesche's body had already reached Alex.

However...

"Ahh....."

The last blow he fired.

The last gamble he took.

Failed.

"Did you think you could occupy my body?"

Alex wanted to study and saw why he wasted so much time.

The dark mass found himself shaking in front of Alex's eyes unable to control himself.

Around such a window of darkness that surrounded him, everything subsided and he was devoured.

"Tsk...If you would have done this before I need not have to waste my time here."

Alex then pulled out his ceremonial sword without any emotion, he slashed it.

A red line was drawn followed by many heads of dark people rolling in the ground in one go.

Alex then extended his hand and, a suction force appeared which pulled out a dark orb from unconscious Marian.

"Take my father and mother-in-law."

Alex then turned into Leia.

"Don't worry, you are not going to die because your fate would be worse than death. Cut her hands and feet. Gouge her tongue and throw her in prison."

"Starve her to death."

Alex then waves his hand to give the signal.

Then the knights in front swung their swords and started slashing the necks of the kneeling nobles.

The front of the podium was dyed red because the blood had flowed from the frock bodies.

A heavy silence lingered among the people who were left alive. They wanted to scream but seeing Alex's dark expression, their lips did not bugle in fear.
