Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Will's pupils dilated instantly, his fists clenched tightly, veins bulging, as if he were recalling something he didn't want to remember.
Will then became like a rooster that had lost its fighting spirit, his whole demeanor turning gloomy.
"That minister has done so many things that have harmed the empire, why does the emperor still trust him so much?"
"Sigh, so you still don't understand it thoroughly enough, Will. Right now, our little emperor is firmly in the hands of his ministers."
"However, once His Majesty grows up, he might be able to reclaim the imperial power and regain control of the government."
"Why are you as stubborn as that Bud? The little emperor has such thin arms and legs, how can he fight against the ministers? Besides, I don't think the little emperor is a wise ruler."
Mo Li showed absolutely no respect for the royal family. If General Bu De were here, the two might have started fighting again, after all, he was the leader of the blindly loyal faction.
Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Will broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that the palace was only a few steps away, and he was not as bold as Mo Li in speaking ill of the emperor.
However, Will truly agreed with what Mo Li said. Only after witnessing the darkness of the capital did he realize that his time serving in the navy was the most carefree.
"All you're saying is trying to pull me into the revolutionary army, right?"
"You've finally figured it out. It wasn't easy. I thought I'd have to explain it to you a lot more."
"Don't underestimate my intelligence, hmph. But you can forget about it. I will never betray the Empire, and I don't believe the Revolutionary Army has the strength to overthrow it."
"Don't rush to refuse. I just want to ask you, what is there about this corrupt empire that makes you willing to serve it?"
Mo Li's words left Will speechless, unable to think of any reason to refuse.
Indeed, his current actions can be described as aiding and abetting evil, although he himself does not want to admit it.
Seeing this, Mo Li's lips curled up slightly, and he continued to persuade her with even greater intensity:
"You don't have to join the revolutionary army, but I hope you can do the right thing. Rather than serving this hypocritical, corrupt, and decadent empire, don't you want to strive for the peace and prosperity of the empire?"
"What do you mean?"
"The empire will never change, but the master who controls it can. Don't you want to be an upright general and contribute to the good life of the empire's inhabitants? I remember your hometown was also exploited."
For a moment, Will fell into deep thought. His loyalty, ingrained for over twenty years, was beginning to waver. Was his behavior truly a case of blind loyalty?
Is it really something a soldier should do to watch helplessly as this country declines step by step?
"I forgot to tell you, Esdeath is mine now too!"
boom! ! !
Will stared wide-eyed at Mo Li in disbelief. He couldn't think about anything else (money Zhao) anymore; his mind was filled with Esdeath joining the Revolutionary Army.
Will then gave a bitter smile, understanding Mo Li's intention in revealing this information. Knowing this, if he didn't choose to join, he would probably be beheaded in the next second.
"As expected of someone known as the Demon King, his methods are indeed brilliant. I have truly submitted to the bet."
"Same to you, Will, make your choice!"
"Now that things have come to this, I have no other choice but to serve Lord Mo Li."
After saying those words, Will felt a sense of relief he had never experienced before, as if he had been reborn and had a new purpose in life.
Perhaps his value lies in changing the status quo of the empire and contributing to its peace and perfection.
Mo Li smiled. Everything was going according to plan. With just a few words, he had completely fooled the naive country boy.
Who cares about the fate of the empire? All he's doing is reducing obstacles to his own plans.
Chapter 266 Reunion with Esdeath, A Mysterious Figure Appears
"Very good, Will, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. It seems you've made the right choice!"
A familiar voice came from behind Will; it was Esdeath.
She had already sensed Mo Li's presence outside, so she hurried towards the palace and happened to witness Mo Li persuading Will. She chose to listen quietly from outside.
Will suddenly realized that if he had refused, Esdeath would have killed him even if Mo Li hadn't intervened. Luckily, he was smart enough.
When Mo Li saw Esdeath enter, he stood up and slowly walked towards her.
The two embraced passionately as soon as they met, completely disregarding Will, who was still a bachelor standing nearby.
Will stared at the scene before him, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. "Are they going to kill me? Please, there's someone else here. Can't they wait until I get out?"
I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I'm doomed...
After a long silence, their lips parted, and Mo Li stared at Will in surprise, pointing at him and saying:
Will, what are you still doing here?
Esdeath's gaze instantly glared at him, and a chilling sensation swept over Will's entire body.
Will was on the verge of tears. "I didn't want to be here! I was so scared by these two big shots that I couldn't move. Are they going to kill me right now?"
"Um, actually I'm here to deliver a message to Lady Esdeath..."
"roll!"
"Alright, alright, you two keep busy, I'll be off now!"
Upon receiving Esdeath's order, Will was overjoyed and scrambled out, thoughtfully closing the door behind him as if afraid of being discovered by outsiders.
Just as Will leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh of relief, Black Eyes suddenly appeared beside him.
"Will, what are you doing at Lady Esdeath's door? Ugh, why are you sweating so much? It's disgusting!"
"No, no, Kurohime, let me explain."
Will wanted to defend himself, but to his surprise, Black Eyes turned and left without any intention of talking to him, which made him even more frustrated.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Mo Li and Esdeath had already begun a fierce battle.
After the battle, Mo Li sat up, feeling refreshed; it had been a long time since he had experienced this feeling.
"By the way, Esdeath, how's the Dr. Fashion cleanup going?"
"According to you, all the blame has been placed on Night Raid, and I am certain that the emergence of this new dangerous species is inextricably linked to Dr. Fashion."
"As you expected, after witnessing the transformation, it's hard not to connect him with this incident."
“When Lan investigated his lab, he didn’t find any clues, but that’s the biggest problem. They were conducting all sorts of experiments, but there was nothing special about it. I suspect he has a secret research institute elsewhere.”
Upon hearing Esdeath's words, Mo Li summoned the Whispering Scroll and began to search for information.
Before long, they discovered Dr. Fashion's secret research institutes, and there was more than one.
Most importantly, through his investigation of the secret research institute, Mo Li discovered a very interesting person: Sir Ernest's son, Sheila, who had recently appeared at the institute.
Mo Li couldn't help but laugh out loud, realizing that he was the culprit who released those dangerous species. It really was an easy thing; the wild hounds had actually delivered themselves to his doorstep.
Since Sheila has appeared, it proves that others may have also come to the capital.
Thinking this, Mo Li closed the book, having already sentenced it to death in his heart. There was no need to let any other forces intrude into this mess.
What was Seryu's reaction after Dr. Fashion's death?
“Seryu is convinced that you killed Dr. Fashion, so she has been patrolling the streets looking for you.”
"Heh, just as I expected. In that case, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
"Do you need my help? It wouldn't be surprising if a little girl without an Imperial Arms died in some corner of the capital."
Esdeath nestled against Mo Li's chest. Although she cherished her subordinates, compared to Mo Li, abandoning a weakling wouldn't have any negative impact on her.
Mo Li patted her back lightly. Seryu could be killed anytime. The most important thing now was to deal with Sila, the minister's son and the leader of the Wild Hounds.
"Let's go, Esdeath, come with me to meet this Sheila!"
"Oh? You found out who the mastermind is so quickly? Sheila, that name sounds familiar."
"Of course you've heard of it, Minister Ernest's son, who has recently returned to the capital."
"So it was him. No wonder. Dr. Fashion used to frequent the lab with Sheila. Their relationship is definitely not as simple as it seems."
Mo Li stood up, put on his coat, and said to Esdeath:
"Go and see for yourself, that variable could be the one who ruins my plans."
"It seems we can't let him live. Let's use my newly developed torture technique to say hello!"
Esdeath licked her lips and changed her clothes. Whenever it came to things like battles or torture, Esdeath would get unusually excited.
Mo Li took Esdeath's hand and opened a portal, and the two of them walked in.
Under the cover of night, Mo Li and Esdeath arrived at a mountaintop. The moonlight shone on them, making them appear exceptionally gentle, if not for the dangerous creatures causing trouble nearby.
It seems this is the nest of a dangerous lizard species. According to the Whispering Scroll, Sheila will pass through this area soon, so this is the best place to ambush them.
"Hurry up and take care of them, we don't want these monsters to spoil our fun!"
"Don't get in the way!"
Esdeath drew her sword and, in a single exchange, sliced all the Dangerous Beasts that surrounded her in half at the waist. She didn't even get a drop of blood on her body; the Dangerous Beasts, now only half-bodied, howled in agony.
Mo Li activated his clairvoyance and, through layers of clouds and mist, saw that Xila at the foot of the mountain was rapidly heading towards the summit.
Meanwhile, Mo Li also saw Lubbock and Brand patrolling halfway up the mountain. If this happened, the two sides would inevitably run into each other, which was not what Mo Li wanted to see.
It was too late to go down and tell Brand and the others to leave. With no other option, Mo Li had to take out the Sealed Master.
"Sorry, Labor and Brand, you two should go back to base and get some sleep!"
"Master Fengjie—open!"
A portal appeared beneath Lubbock and Brand's feet, and before they could react, they had already fallen through it. The portal then quickly closed.
Having finished all that, Mo Li breathed a sigh of relief, found a place to sit down, and waited for Sheila to arrive.
Sheila was very fast; she covered hundreds of meters from the foot of the mountain to the summit in just a moment.
"It seems all the fashionable toys have been wiped out. I'm finally back in the capital!"
"So you're the culprit who released those dangerous species? You really have a twisted sense of humor!"
"Looks like something interesting has happened again. What? What did I just see? The famous strongest general of the empire, Esdeath, is getting intimate with a pretty boy right here."
Judging from Sheila's tone, it seemed she didn't recognize him. Perhaps it was because it was nighttime, or perhaps Sheila hadn't been back to the capital for too long. There were very few people who didn't recognize Mo Li.
Mo Li couldn't help but laugh when he heard Sheila call him a pretty boy, and the laughter was quite jarring in the quiet night.
"What are you laughing at, you piece of trash? Don't think that just because you've latched onto Esdeath, I won't dare kill you. I am the future ruler of this country!"
Chapter 267 Imperial Arms Shangri-La, Adventure on a Deserted Island
Hearing Sheila address him by that name, Mo Li narrowed his eyes. It seems I can't let you die so easily.
"Trash? Hahaha, hahahahaha, interesting. You're the first person to dare call me that?"
"Hmph, you don't think I wouldn't dare kill you, do you? Since Lady Esdeath is here, this toy game ends here, and I don't have any other toys."
Sheila spread her hands and spoke, showing no fear whatsoever. It was unclear whether her confidence stemmed from her father or from her own inherent strength.
However, none of that matters. Mo Li has already decided to take good care of the enemy in front of her.
Sheila watched as Mo Li charged forward, his eyes filled with contempt, as if he were looking at a man destined to die. His only fear was that Esdeath might suddenly turn against him after he killed Mo Li.
"I advise you not to act impulsively, otherwise, our General Esdeath will be heartbroken."
"It's alright. If you can kill him, I'll actually think more highly of you!"
Esdeath watched the show with an air of complete indifference, showing no concern whatsoever that Sheila could harm Mori.
Upon seeing this, Sheila grinned and laughed, displaying a completely unruly demeanor, as if he could already see Mo Li dying tragically at his hands.
"Come on, let me see what you're capable of that makes the empire's strongest general..."
Before Sheila could finish speaking, his outstretched right arm flew into the air, gushing blood continuously.
Dragon 71
Fly 72
Deer 9
Pain instantly flooded Sheila's brain. He clutched his severed arm and roared:
"Aaaaaaah! I'll kill you! I'll definitely kill you!"
"Don't make promises you can't keep. I've heard you enjoy toying with respectable women, is that right? Well, I have a gift for you, and I promise I'll be gentle!"
Sheila then realized that the person in front of her was a powerful being, and even stronger than herself.
No wonder Esdeath favors him so much. How could I make such a lowly mistake? How despicable.
