Chapter 970: Confrontation
No, that's not right. Simply laying the foundation of the rules—how could that possibly withstand a transcendent aura?
A flicker of doubt passed through Dubois Charles's eyes, but he didn't pay it much mind.
"Leon Merlin, I won't pursue the matter of you killing my disciple for now. But what about injuring Daryl Su? How do you explain that? Did you not receive my orders?
Foolish creature. It seems you've completely forgotten that we're at war, forgotten what you should be doing as a citizen of the kingdom.
I ordered you to surrender control of the Four Seasons Plain, yet you dared defy me—hoarding wealth, mining resources, and neglecting the offensive altogether.
Since you've forgotten, I'll remind you myself. Everything you possess—everything on the Four Seasons Plain—will be taken over by me.
I'm giving you one last chance: drag yourself to the front lines, or pay dearly for your foolishness. This time, you won't be so lucky—no one's coming to save you.
Kneel and repent!"
Dubois Charles's face was cold, his gaze icy—a judge dispensing mercy to an ant.
