The villain's way to tame the protagonist

"No?" Sitana raised her eyebrows. "Three seconds, not bad at all... Oh, it seems to be one second off."

Knowing that she was making a shameful sneak attack, Miss Wolf scratched her ears nonchalantly, "But so what? Do you really think I'm going to call you out, ask you why you want to hurt people, and then listen to you talk disgusting nonsense for five minutes like an idiot, like 'I'm just doing what every extraordinary person would do', which is useless except making myself more annoyed. Do you think I'm going to waste so much time and then punch you to death?"

Bang-!

Sitana stomped on Murphy's chest, pushing his upper body almost directly into the city wall, then reached out and grabbed his throat and began to exert force.

It was as if he wanted to pull his head out alive...along with his entire spine!

"I've heard enough of that. I've heard enough of those bastards who are clearly doing evil things but have ten thousand excuses to justify themselves and sincerely think that they have never done anything wrong... It's a barking that makes people laugh."

Click, click, click, click, click——

A creepy sound came from Murphy's body. He was a fourth-level transcendent, a powerful warlock who was respected everywhere, but now he was being trampled underfoot like a wild dog on the roadside, and his cervical vertebrae were being pulled out of his body inch by inch.

It's not that she didn't want to resist, but she couldn't resist. She wanted to drive the ether to cast spells, but the red and black aura emanating from Shitana seemed to turn into a pack of wolves, devouring and cutting off the flow of all the ether around her!

Murphy, whose face was hideous and whose eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out, made a "ho ho" sound and squeezed out fragmented words with great difficulty:

"Death... Buried with..."

Sitana paused slightly.

"If you die, will the whole city be with you?"

She tilted her head slightly and looked at the guy whom she could easily crush to death.

And because Sitana stopped, Murphy's eyes showed a ferocious pleasure. He knew, and they all knew, what the weakness of this stupid and reckless wolf was.

In the West, she would have gotten herself into trouble because of the garbage in a slum, so it was enough for them to do the same thing.

Every territory controlled by the Grand Duke is a shackle that can bind this mad wolf. As long as there is still a territory under the control of the Grand Duke, Xitana Lansmalos will have to weigh the cost of counterattack.

Murphy looked at Hitana mockingly. He knew the stupidity of the monster in front of him was that not only did she want to protect everyone, she couldn't even accept the slightest sacrifice. She had to be so harsh as to protect every life. As long as there was the slightest risk, she would not take any action.

Murphy felt that the extremely terrifying aura that could cut off the flow of ether was dissipating little by little, and the hand holding his neck loosened little by little. He took the opportunity to cast a healing spell on himself and barely managed to hang on to his life.

Although I don't know what this guy knows, this idiot obviously doesn't understand the situation. If we can drag her here, the attacking troops and the nobles who rebelled against Hydra can be captured -

"Gah—"

The hand that had loosened slightly once again tightly grasped Murphy's throat.

With his eyeballs almost squeezed out, he looked up at Shitana in disbelief, but he only saw the undisguised sneer and ridicule on her face.

"You're hanging on to your life?" The corners of Xitana's mouth kept rising. "If you hadn't said that, I would have planned to kill you directly and not let you suffer any more. Since you are threatening me with the people of this city... I can only make you face the truth."

"Did you guys make a mistake?"

The smile on the wolf's face was so wanton and joyful:

"Am I the only one who can be used by Anser?"

A huge light curtain was projected in the sky above Ice Valley City.

Just like the scene when Anser stood at the border of the North and confronted Ivora, this light curtain appeared not only in Ice Valley City, but also in the Imperial Capital and in any officially registered city in the Empire.

This is a little gadget that Flamel had made for Effisandre before, so that His Majesty the Great Emperor could spread her supreme will and glorious figure throughout the empire. It must be said that it is quite useful.

The legacy that Flamel left to Anther... No, it can't be called a legacy now. In short, the good things that Flamel left to Anther are too numerous to count, but there are actually not many that Anther can use. This is one of them.

However, the figure of His Royal Highness the Regent did not appear on the light curtain. What was projected on the light curtain this time seemed to be... a court?

dong dong dong-

The judge slammed the gavel and solemnly declared:

"In the name of His Royal Highness the Regent, Ansel Hydra, I declare that the trial of twenty-six nobles including Marquis Muen, Marquis Linton, and Earl Lanshan will begin now."

The camera slowly turned, revealing the faces of twenty-six men and women on the trial stand, wearing prison uniforms and shackles, with expressions that were either numb, dejected, or angry.

Many cities throughout the empire were thrown into great commotion because of their appearance.

All of these prisoners are from prominent wealthy families and glorious nobles. Some of them have family influence across multiple territories, and can be considered upper class even if looking at the entire empire. Even the lowest among them can be regarded as overlords of a place.

The people of the empire were confused. How could these noble lords, who might be killed if they did not kneel in time when they met them, become criminals and prisoners to be tried?

"Please ask the Director of the Supervisory Bureau, Lady Marina Lancemalos, to issue a lawsuit statement."

The camera turned again, and the dark witch in a luxurious dress appeared on the screen. She smiled and nodded, as if responding to the judge, or as if greeting all the people watching the trial.

"According to my confirmation and that of the Supervisory Bureau, twenty-six nobles, led by Marquis Muen, colluded with the Northern rebels three days ago and attempted to sabotage the Northern refugee rescue plan, which was instructed by His Royal Highness the Regent and led by Xitana Lancemalos."

"Eh? I'm in charge."

Xitana, who was looking up at the light screen, looked puzzled: "Isn't it Lina who is doing the work?"

At the same time, Marina continued to state slowly, "This plan aims to rescue all the northern civilians trapped in the cold disaster. His Royal Highness the Regent will not let any of the imperial citizens fall into suffering that they should not have to endure."

“But someone tried to sabotage it.”

The woman's gaze shifted slightly, and the camera moved in time to perfectly reveal the wonderful expressions on the faces of the nobles who had become prisoners.

"As I said, the nobles led by Marquis Muen betrayed the time and location of the first evacuation plan to the Skyfrost Tower in order to surrender to Ivora Feasting Flame. The attack forces of the Gray Tower and Iron Blade should be on their way to raid the evacuation forces now. But the people of the Empire don't have to worry. We will deal with these despicable rebels and no innocent civilians will be hurt."

"In summary."

The witch folded her hands on her abdomen, stood dignified and elegant, and said with a smile:

"The twenty-six nobles, led by Marquis Muen, have completely betrayed His Royal Highness the Regent, the people of the Empire, and the Empire. Therefore, I hope that the judge will sentence all the criminals to deprive of their noble status, and sentence them to death, and... execute them in court."

The camera shifted to the old and dignified judge. The old judge nodded slightly and cast his eyes on the nobles in shackles: "The defendants may begin their own defense."

As soon as the words fell, the nobleman at the head of the trial platform roared:

"Hydra! If you want to kill me, then do it! You lunatic, you dictatorial tyrant! Stop this boring trick. Do you like this ridiculous stage play so much? Are you any different from every emperor of every generation? Everything in the empire... will be destroyed in your hands!"

Bang bang bang!

The judge slammed the gavel: "Silence!"

The black-clad sorcerers standing on both sides of the court gently waved their staffs, and the nobles who had gone mad just now could no longer utter a single word.

"Your Honor, it looks like they need me to provide evidence."

Marina said very gently and considerately: "Please allow me to provide the first witness."

As soon as the words fell, the camera shifted again, and this time the person who appeared on the camera... was the woman who had already shocked the empire several times.

"Twenty-six nobles, three hundred and seventeen videos."

Mingflora Zeger stood beside Marina. This time, she was half a head taller than Marina and naturally looked more mature than Miss Witch. She pushed her glasses, and a strange angular creature appeared in the courtroom, followed by the projection of densely packed images.

"You guys can decide the details yourself. I'm in a hurry and have a lot of things to do. Is this enough?"

Marina smiled and nodded, and the scholar who had taken time out of her busy schedule to appear in court disappeared on the spot without saying a word.

Xitana widened her eyes and screamed in disbelief:

"Lina actually asked Ming Fuluo for help!? What's going on! If I wanted to ask Ming Fuluo for help, why didn't I go to her from the beginning! There's no way Linna doesn't know what I'm thinking."

The trial was still going on. After the jury reviewed the "evidence" provided by Ming Fuluo, Marina continued:

"The second witness is myself and all members of the Supervisory Bureau."

The Supervisory Bureau, a name that is extremely unfamiliar to everyone in the empire, no matter whether they are nobles or commoners, mortals or extraordinary people.

Most of them didn't even know who Marina Lancemalos was, let alone something as confusing as the Inspectorate.

"During this time, we collected all the evidence that could prove the crimes of these twenty-six nobles, including but not limited to the large amount of ether crystals used for transactions, alchemical tools used to disguise identities, special items for private communications... and all the accompanying explanatory materials."

Marina took out pieces of evidence one by one, and then sent them to the bench and the jury. The witch smiled and asked:

"I think with the above evidence, we can ignore all the defenses and claims of the defendant and proceed directly to the execution stage."

"We need to verify the authenticity of the evidence. Please wait."

The judges in the courtroom began to verify the images provided by Ming Furo and the evidence materials provided by Marina, but the prisoners were unable to speak, so the court fell into silence.

However, the silence did not last long, and the witch's voice sounded again.

This time, she was not facing the judge, but everyone watching the trial.

"I know, but I'm not aware of the existence of the Supervisory Bureau. After all, before this, His Royal Highness the Regent had not allowed it to officially appear in the Empire."

"But I think many people should remember the announcement made by His Royal Highness the Regent in the West Country."

"'The extraordinary will be dominated by him'."

This sentence, as well as Ming Fuluo's actions in Donggang, made many nobles who did not participate in the banquet in the North tremble in their hearts.

"I believe that every citizen of the empire should know that His Royal Highness the Regent is not a slave to power. The control he speaks of is not the control of the extraordinary itself, but the control... of the order brought about by the extraordinary."

"The order of the past was defined by the emperor."

Marina's face still had that innocent and sweet smile, but in the eyes of some people, this smile was becoming more and more terrifying, colder, and more... darker.

"Therefore, the Supervisory Bureau will follow the will of His Royal Highness the Regent and take it as its duty to supervise all extraordinary people in the empire, regardless of their identity, status, or strength. Every extraordinary person in the empire has the obligation to cooperate with our investigation and control. If they don't cooperate... it doesn't matter."

The witch raised her left hand, and the alien snake ring on her ring finger bit down. At the moment when the blood splashed, the greedy snake symbolizing the head of the bite coiled around Marina. At the same time, a crow flapped its wings and flew out from the shadows and landed on her shoulder.

The woman lowered her head and gently stroked the crow on her shoulder, and the crow's scarlet eyes seemed to be staring through the lens... at everything in the empire.

"All you extraordinary people need to remember is that there is always someone watching you."

Hitana stared blankly at the light curtain, forgetting to use any strength with her hands.

It took her several seconds to recover, and she muttered uncomfortably:

"How come Lina has become so popular all of a sudden? I want to be like that too."

Little did she know that this limelight originally belonged to her.

"……never mind."

Miss Wolf curled her lips, turned her head to look at Murphy who was also stunned, and pointed at the light curtain in the sky: "Do you understand now? When Lina knew about this, your territory..."

Ms. Sitana seemed to enjoy this villain tone and stretched out her voice:

"It was already cleaned up by her people, the Supervisory... er, the Supervisory Bureau."

"Lord Lance."

Two guys who appeared out of nowhere stood behind Xitana and bowed their heads respectfully. "The destructive spells that were connected to Murphy Morris' life have all been lifted."

"Oh, thank you for your hard work!" Xitana waved her hand, "You guys continue to do your work, don't worry about this."

"Yes."

The figures of the two men disappeared again, but Murphy opened his eyes as wide as possible at this moment, which were about to burst.

Because he saw the appearance of one of them, that person... that person was clearly a warlock apprentice in his tower!

Why... on what basis! As a fourth-level transcendent, he didn't even know that his warlock tower had been infiltrated? How is this possible!

It's certainly possible.

Because the Supervisory Bureau led by Marina has integrated the Garden and Shadow Swamp, those geniuses and heroes personally recruited by Anther, who will leave their names in history, will become the eyes of the crow and the hands and feet of the snake.

This marked the beginning of his control over all matters in the empire.

"So... do you still think I would do that?"

Anser looked at the extremely confused Xin with a smile, his voice was gentle, yet with a hint of... grievance.

"Miss Saint, I don't know why you look at me like that. I do like Xi'er, but I won't... joke about your salvation."

He gently held Xin's hand and whispered in her ear:

"See, you saved Hercules."

"And I'm saving the empire."

Chapter 6: Loss and Gain (K) Part

This scene did not exist in Anser's original script.

Hitana, who has matured a lot, will treat the evacuation plan of the northern refugees with great caution. She will find Marina, and Marina will select suitable helpers, and this process... will naturally be known to the public.

At the banquet, he made a speech that would definitely shock the nobles of this era and force some of them to side with Ivora. The evacuation plan was naturally the best bait.

Everything was going smoothly. According to the original script, this should have been Sitana's stage. She would kill everyone from south to north, from the stale nobles to the disobedient rebels, killing them all... As for rescuing Hercules, it was just a side job.

Anser wants Xitana to strengthen her belief that she can do it and change everything that is not right in her eyes.

However, the sudden change in the middle... no, it should be said that the saint lady's true identity was exposed, forcing Ansher to make some minor changes to the script.
