So when Jiang Shu personally led him out of the palace for a secret execution, he couldn't help but ask:

"Why? What methods did you use? Why do they not suspect you at all? Even the king is not afraid of you or that you threaten his position. This doesn't make sense to me."

Jiang Shu's response was: "Do you think this is a female-oriented novel? Do you think rules and etiquette are everything? Do you think emperors are always suspicious of this and that? Child, you must remember, no matter where you are, might makes right."

To put it bluntly, even if I have a good grasp of personal charisma, and even if I am arrogant and look down on everyone, if I killed the King of Warcraft right in front of them, would it make any difference whether they are afraid of me or not?

Do you know what it means to be unable to select or counter?

Jiang Bei seemed lost in thought, his expression complex.

Although unwilling, he had almost realized from the various clues that even if he were released now and allowed to fight Jiang Shu in a real battle, he probably wouldn't be able to win.

Although the loss was frustrating and inexplicable, it was not unjust.

"I lost."

Seeing that Jiang Bei was quite decisive and didn't seem to be a sore loser, Jiang Shu felt a bit more favorably toward this person.

Although the other party was not a match for him, he was still a respectable person.

So Jiang Shu smiled and nodded.

At this moment, Jiang Bei felt relieved. Although there were still many questions, they were no longer important. He accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.

For him, encountering a strong opponent is a lucky and pleasant thing; it can inspire his fighting spirit rather than crushing others.

After I get out of here, I will study this video without eating or drinking. Next time, I will not lose again!

As if in response to his challenge and the burning fighting spirit in his eyes, Jiang Shu clapped his hands lightly.

"Guards, chop him up and feed him to the dogs."

"Your mother!"

......

Everything has settled down.

After settling all matters in the capital and preparing to leave this world, Jiang Shu returned to the City of Beginnings, the place where the dream began.

He is a person who sees things through to the end. He regards each hatchery as a valuable experience, so he never forgets any foreshadowing and always strives for perfection, trying his best not to let it end badly, leaving behind only the most beautiful memories.

Therefore, he had to fulfill his final promise.

When they returned to the familiar branch of the Kingdom Knights, all the Kingdom Knights, led by the branch commander, who had already received the message from above, came out of the city to line up and greet them.

"Welcome, Brave One, the first Prime Minister of the Kingdom, and the eternal Commander of the Kingdom Knights' Initial City Branch!"

Seeing the young man he had personally mentored now standing at the top of the world, the branch leader felt incredibly proud, both gratified and happy for Jiang Shu.

He said with a sigh, "Thinking back to when we first met, it feels like it just happened two months ago."

Jiang Shu stroked his chin and said seriously, "Actually, it really was two months ago."

Those knights who had fought alongside Jiang Shu, drunk wine with him, and even shared sexual acts with him felt a mixture of pride and awe.

Before Jiang Shu returned, they used to joke in private that even though he was now a hero and a prime minister, they were still brothers who had been through thick and thin together. If he dared to act arrogantly in front of his brothers, they would give him a good beating.

But when they actually met, they were so reserved that they couldn't say a word.

Jiang Shu didn't say anything, but he saw it all.

He didn't say any unrealistic platitudes to win back the hearts of these brothers who had shared joys and sorrows. He simply waved his hand and said, "No more words. Tonight, I'll treat the brothers to something good."

The knights were taken aback at first, then cheered and finally relaxed.

He hasn't changed at all; he knows what his brothers like and never puts on airs in front of them.

A good brother is still a good brother!

With the Prime Minister's special permission, the entire Kingdom Knights were given a day off to spend the whole day with Jiang Shushuang, until everyone was completely drunk and returned home satisfied.

Jiang Shu then returned to the Knights alone and went to the dungeon.

At the far end of the dungeon, the emaciated Henry was fast asleep.

His breathing was very heavy. Even though he was fast asleep, he would still instinctively groan from time to time. It was clear that he had suffered a lot here during this period of time.

This was because Jiang Shu was not very skilled at possession since it was his first time, which led to the unfortunate guy who was wrongly arrested and brought in to take the blame for Jiang Shu. Jiang Shu had promised him that he would definitely rescue him.

This is why Jiang Shu came back; he has not forgotten the promise he once made.

In fact, for him now, pardoning someone is no big deal at all, regardless of what crime that person has committed, or whether it is in the dungeon of the City of Beginning or the dungeon of the royal capital.

However, Jiang Shu did not ask anyone to release him during the day.

Because he is not only a person who sees things through to the end, but also a person who can adapt to changing circumstances.

Instead of waking Henry immediately, he first asked Yu Nian, "How do you feel?"

After carefully sensing it, Yuan Nian said with some surprise, "Not bad, I can feel that he is in a lot of pain and has a lot of malice towards this world."

Jiang Shu nodded in satisfaction and finally went forward to wake Henry.

"Wake up, wake up quickly."

Henry slowly woke up, but he was still a little dazed and not fully awake. In a daze, he thought it was time for another interrogation, so he subconsciously squatted down against the wall, numbly and skillfully.

Helpless, Jiang Shu could only call out a few more times.

Henry's cloudy eyes gradually cleared.

He stared at Jiang Shu for a long while before saying uncertainly, "Sir?"

"It's me." Seeing that Henry wasn't stupid, Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I've come to save you."

"Really?" Henry was initially delighted, but then became somewhat doubtful.

He looked around worriedly and said, "Sir, there's no need to risk taking me out of prison. I don't want to implicate you."

Jiang Shu scratched his head.

Clearly, the other party thought he was going to use unconventional methods to save him.

This is understandable; in the dead of night, with no one around, it's easy to imagine a prison break.

Therefore, Jiang Shu smiled indulgently and then explained, "What are you thinking? Of course I won't take you to escape from prison. Instead, I will let you walk out with your head held high, just as I promised you."

"Really...really?" Henry asked hesitantly.

Jiang Shu nodded: "Of course it's true. After my persistent investigation and painstaking evidence collection, I can almost confirm that he is the murderer who framed you. He used any means to achieve political achievements and ultimately arrested you by mistake. But now it's all over. Your case has been overturned and you are innocent."

"I... got my case overturned?"

Just like last time, tears began to well up uncontrollably in Henry's eyes.

But after a brief period of ecstasy, a complex emotion gradually enveloped him.

"But is this the end? The injustice I suffered for no reason, and the torment I've endured for the past two months, are they just going to be forgotten?"

Henry seemed to be turning to the dark side, and said painfully:

"This world shouldn't be like this, it's wrong, it's really wrong."

"So what else do you want? You don't want to kill the person who wronged you, or to tear this damn world down and start over, do you?" Jiang Shu blinked, coaxing him gently.

These words indeed enlightened Henry.

He was initially confused and unsure of what to do, but suddenly he found his direction.

He raised his head, muttering to himself in a somewhat frenzied manner, "Yes...that's how it should be...Sir, you've really helped me a lot, you always manage to help me a lot!"

Seeing Henry completely turn to the dark side, Jiang Shu seized the opportunity and said to Yuan Nian, "Great opportunity! Go now!"

Although I was a little reluctant, since I had already made a promise to Jiang Shu, I could only obey and do as she said.

It quietly detached from Jiang Shu's body and entered Henry's body.

Henry shouldn't have been able to withstand it, since the resentment had already taken on the shape of Jiang Shu. However, after Jiang Shu used the Heart of the Great Wilderness to precisely cut the resentment, she successfully separated out the most original part of the resentment.

Or, to put it another way, it's the part that's impurities for ginger.

Henry's actions were somewhat unintentional, but he is indeed the only person in the world whose explicit wish was fulfilled by Jiang Shu, allowing him to be exonerated. Due to the influence of the sacrifice, all of his traits are enhanced, and he becomes completely loyal to Jiang Shu.

This is why he can perfectly match the resentment of the King of Warcraft, because his soul also bears Jiang Shu's mark, or rather, his brand.

In addition, after suffering so much torment, Henry is now undoubtedly the most tormented person in the world, full of malice towards the world, which perfectly fits the conditions for possession by resentment.

Sure enough, the two merged smoothly.

Although it's just a watered-down version, and Henry's current strength is very weak, Jiang Shu believes that it won't be long before Henry becomes a weakened version of the Beast King. Even if his strength is definitely far inferior to his own, he can still fill the void left by his departure and protect the world in his place.

Henry noticed something was wrong immediately and asked Jiang Shu in a panic, "Sir, what is this?"

Jiang Shu did not answer immediately, but instead recounted in detail everything Henry had missed during this period, including his identity as a hero.

Only after he finished speaking did he answer the initial question.

"I will soon be leaving this kingdom to explore unknown places on my own, so before I go, I want to entrust this most important thing to you."

Jiang Shu sighed:

"This is a power that can change the world. I know you feel that the world owes you something, but I still hope that you can see a view beyond hatred."

I've never been one to take advantage of favors, but this time, I hope you'll do me a favor and protect the world in my place.

Henry remained silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled with relief:

"As expected of you, I saw your extraordinary qualities long ago, whether it's your noble character or the power you possess. But... why did you choose me?"

"Perhaps it's because I also saw your extraordinary nature," Jiang Shu retorted.

In fact, Henry does have some abilities, as Jiang Shu has investigated, but more importantly, it comes from the transformation and training he received through sacrifice. This makes Jiang Shu completely confident in entrusting this power, which is insignificant to him and merely an impurity, but is supreme to the world, to him.

In summary, Henry, the most tormented man in the kingdom's history, possessed a powerful malice toward the world that allowed him to quickly rise to become Jiang Shu's inferior replacement, aided by his resentment.

But the price is that he might grow up to become a demon king who harms humanity.

However, his loyalty to Jiang Shu made up for this.

For Jiang Shu's sake, he would restrain himself as much as possible and take Jiang Shu's ideas as his own, devoting his entire life to implementing and carrying them out.

As the saying goes, one bug is a bug, but multiple bugs can work.

In this way, the demon king, who was supposed to harm the human world, became the guardian of this world, or rather, Jiang Shu's representative, fulfilling the duties that Jiang Shu had promised the king in place of the departed Jiang Shu.

And so, everything can finally have a happy ending.

“Alright.” Henry finally let go of all hatred and sincerely said to Jiang Shu, “I will forget all of this and try to find the beauty in this world. I will treat the experiences of the past two months as a test from God, and only remember what I have gained and forget what I have lost.”

"That's right." Jiang Shu said with satisfaction.

"I will remember your kindness to me, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life." Henry said earnestly, "For your sake, I will not cause trouble for that commander who wronged me. I think that's what you want too, isn't it?"

“This…” Jiang Shu looked troubled: “Actually, even if you want to cause him trouble, it might be a bit difficult.”

"Why?" Henry asked in surprise. "Could he be more capable than you?"

“No, that’s not it.” Jiang Shu shook his head: “He just opposed me before, and I’ve already taken care of him.”

"...?"

Chapter 250 The Ultimate Enemy

When Jiang Bei returned to the real world, his first thought was to find someone to confirm what had happened to Jiang Shu while he was focused on leveling up.

What struck him as odd was that everyone present had a very strange expression when they first saw him.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Jiang Bei frowned.

"Just because I lost?" he retorted, dissatisfied. "Have you never lost before? What's wrong with me losing once? Or are you looking down on me because I lost to someone who was just kicked back into the high-level arena last time?"

He was like a stressed-out Hakimi; in fact, no one said anything, but he blurted out these words, which were tinged with a bit of embarrassment and anger.

"Actually, it doesn't matter at all."

Someone who was on good terms with him comforted him:

“You’re right, we’ve all lost before, it’s no big deal. And that kid isn’t as incompetent as we thought, we underestimated him. His technique… it’s understandable that you lost.”

Technique?

Jiangbei's suspicions were confirmed.

It seems that Jiang Shu did indeed use some unconventional methods.
