Reincarnation Paradise: The Void Debt Collector

Hearing the other party's voice, Lin Yi immediately realized that the other party must have misunderstood something.

After listening to Lin Yi's explanation, the mysterious man finally relaxed his vigilance.

He realized that perhaps Lin Yi's purpose was not as dangerous as he had initially thought.

"Tomorrow evening, the Emperor and the Empress will come here in person to choose their dresses."

After the mysterious man revealed the emperor's itinerary, he got up and left.

How to get close to the emperor was not within his consideration.

If the people sent by the superiors cannot even complete such a small task, then it is only natural that the mission will fail.

A day later, as night fell, the lanterns on both sides of the street emitted a soft light, adding a touch of warm yellow to the quiet street.

The tailor shop is located in the bustling city center and is bustling with people on weekdays, but it looks particularly different tonight.

As the sound of hooves in the distance gradually became clearer, a team of royal guards rode over. They were dressed in striking red uniforms, shining helmets on their heads, and long swords at their waists. They looked majestic and mysterious.

Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of passers-by, and people stopped to watch and whispered.

In front of the guard, a golden carriage slowly drove up, the royal emblem on the carriage gleaming in the light.

The carriage stopped steadily in front of the tailor shop, the door slowly opened, and the emperor walked out surrounded by several guards.

He was wearing a gorgeous dragon robe embroidered with exquisite dragon patterns, demonstrating the dignity and majesty of imperial power.

The emperor smiled, waved to the people around him, and then walked into the tailor shop.

Chapter 179: Apocalypse Paradise

"Your Majesty." The old tailor walked forward with a limp and bowed respectfully to the emperor and empress who had just entered the store.

The emperor held out his hand and said amiably, "Please stand up. I came here to see how the dress I ordered is going. Tomorrow is the princess' wedding day."

The old tailor responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, the dress is ready and waiting for your personal inspection."

As he spoke, he slowly pushed open the door of the inner room and invited the emperor to come in for a visit.

The emperor nodded slightly, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over Lin Yi who was holding a dress beside him.

"Your Majesty, please let the Queen try on the dress first to see if it fits." The old tailor said respectfully.

The queen smiled gently, took the exquisite dress, and walked lightly into the fitting room.

As the door of the fitting room slowly closed, the emperor's gaze naturally turned to Lin Yi.

"Tell me, why did you come to see me this time?"

From the moment the emperor stepped into the tailor shop, he keenly realized that Lin Yi was not a waiter in the store.

The emperor knew the four waiters in the tailor shop very well, and Lin Yi's face was obviously out of place among them.

Therefore, he concluded that Lin Yi must have other intentions in this trip.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, stepped forward, and saluted the emperor: "I, the descendant of the Lin family, Lin Yi, pay my respects to your majesty."

"Lin family?" The emperor repeated softly, his brows slightly raised, as if searching for relevant information in the ocean of memory.

“Yes, the Lin family of Fate City.”

A look of realization flashed across the emperor's face.

"Why did you choose such a special way to meet me? Where is your father now?" The emperor's tone revealed a bit of confusion and inquiry.

Lin Yi lowered his eyes, his voice filled with undisguised sadness: "Your Majesty, the Lin family... no longer exists."

"What?" The emperor stood up in astonishment, his expression frozen in an instant.

The Lin family has always been a chess piece he has carefully laid out, and has long played an important role in accumulating wealth and monitoring the Filin family in Fate City.

"It was the work of the Filin family," Lin Yi said in a low voice, "They suddenly launched an attack, and I escaped by luck, but the family..." His words were full of pain and powerlessness.

The emperor's face suddenly became as gloomy as water, and anger was boiling in his chest: "What on earth does the Filin family want to do? Are they trying to rebel?" The emperor's words were full of coldness and majesty, which was frightening.

The destruction of the Lin family was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the emperor's strategic layout.

The Lin family, as his right-hand man, had always been an indispensable source of wealth for him. But now it had vanished into thin air overnight, and he knew nothing about it.

Obviously, the Filin family was trying hard to conceal this news, which made the emperor even more uneasy and angry.

Lin Yi continued, “Your Majesty, before our Lin family was attacked, we accidentally found a letter. I speculate that this letter may be the fuse that led to our family’s misfortune.”

The emperor took the letter with some doubt and noticed that there was no mark on the envelope.

He opened the envelope, unfolded the letter, and began to read every word on the letter carefully.

As he read deeper, the emperor's brows gradually furrowed and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

The content of the letter obviously exceeded his expectations, forcing him to re-examine the current situation.

The reason why Lin Yi did not hand over all the letters to the emperor was because he was well aware of the emperor's shrewdness and suspicion.

In this world of fierce power struggles, any evidence that is too perfect may be seen as a trap.

A single letter was enough to attract the emperor's attention and also seemed more authentic and credible.

Furthermore, these letters are extremely confidential and sensitive, and are usually burned after reading, leaving no trace.

It was already extremely rare for Lin Yi to obtain one letter from Kro Filin. If he said he had obtained all of them, it would seem too false and might even arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Therefore, Lin Yi chose to submit only one letter, which both expressed his loyalty and avoided possible suspicion.

When the emperor's eyes fell on the distinctive seals of the four major families at the bottom of the letter, anger instantly burned in his heart.

"You are so unscrupulous. Do you think my royal family has declined?" The emperor angrily kicked the table in front of him to the ground.

The deafening noise immediately attracted the attention of the royal guards outside, who quickly pushed open the door and rushed in.

"Everyone retreat. No one is allowed to enter without my order." The emperor turned around suddenly and gave a stern order.

Upon seeing this, the commander of the Royal Guard immediately led his men to retreat quickly and orderly. They knew that the emperor's orders could not be questioned and they dared not neglect them in the slightest.

The emperor paced back and forth in the room anxiously, his anger burning in his heart.

This incident not only meant the destruction of the Lin family, but also was a blatant challenge to the royal authority.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He knew that as the king of a country, he must not lose his composure at such a critical moment.

"Tell me everything you know. I want to see what the four major families are up to." The emperor's tone was cold and threatening. He tried his best to suppress his inner anger, his eyes fixed on Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and began to clearly explain the information he had.

For the emperor, the authenticity of this information was secondary. He was more concerned about the deeper intentions hidden in it.

When the emperor heard that the four major families planned to launch a rebellion at the royal wedding tomorrow, his face suddenly became gloomy and terrible.

He was shocked and horrified, realizing that the seriousness of the situation was beyond his imagination.

"Very good! Very good! Very good." The emperor was so angry that he laughed. "I was originally planning to wait a few years before taking action against you. Now it seems that I was too merciful before."

He paused and looked at Lin Yi, "Don't worry, your report has been meritorious this time, I will definitely keep you safe."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have also heard some news. It is said that the four major families have planted a group of spies in the army to pass on information for them."

As he spoke, Lin Yi drew the branding pattern of Apocalypse Paradise and handed it to the emperor respectfully.

The emperor took the drawing and examined the brand carefully.

At this moment, the emperor did not have much doubt about Lin Yi's words.

Tattoos are an identity symbol, and ordinary people will not get the same mark tattooed for no reason.

This discovery undoubtedly provided him with important clues to uncover the conspiracy of the four major families.

The emperor said coldly: "Don't worry, I will make those traitors pay the price they deserve." The emperor already had a plan to deal with the four major families.

Just then, the queen walked out of the fitting room in a gorgeous dress.

Her presence softened the atmosphere in the room.

Chapter 180 Secret Meeting

The emperor's expression had returned to its usual calm and profound state, as if his previous anger had never left any trace on his face.

He turned gracefully and faced the queen with a gentle smile on his lips. He looked so calm, as if he had everything under control.

"How is it? Do you like this dress?" The queen gently lifted the hem of her gorgeous skirt and gracefully spun around in front of the emperor. Her skirt fluttered lightly, like a beautiful flower blooming in the wind.

Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, and the smile on her face was as warm and bright as the spring sun, showing her inner joy and satisfaction.

The emperor gazed at the queen's beauty, which was blooming like a flower, and gave her affirmation with a smile: "Very good, you will wear this dress tomorrow."

Receiving the emperor's praise, the queen's face immediately blossomed into a smile brighter than the sun.

Just as the emperor was about to leave the tailor shop, he suddenly stopped, took out a holy dragon badge shining with majestic light from his deep bosom, and threw it to Lin Yi.

"Take this. From now on, you are a royal spy. With this, no matter which official you meet, just show this badge and no one will dare to stop you from carrying out your mission."

Lin Yi took the Holy Dragon Badge, curled his lips slightly, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

No wonder the four major families wanted to rebel. This emperor was too stingy. He didn't give them anything substantial but just a broken badge, and still wanted people to work for him.

This treatment is not even comparable to that of the Kingdom of Beasts.

However, despite all his complaints, Lin Yi still carefully put the badge away.

After leaving the tailor shop, Lin Yi immediately saw Crazy Lady and Rose squatting on the opposite street.

They were obviously here to protect Lin Yi. If the situation got bad, they would immediately rush into the tailor shop to rescue Lin Yi.

"What happened?" When Crazy Grandma saw Lin Yi coming out, she quickly came up to him and asked.

"Don't worry about my work. Soon, the people of Apocalypse Paradise will be blessed."

Lin Yi showed a brilliant smile. Rose and Crazy Milk looked at each other and couldn't help but mourn for the people of Apocalypse Paradise for three seconds.

After returning to the palace, the emperor urgently summoned the general stationed in the imperial city and the prime minister for a secret talk.

This meeting lasted for a full three hours, and the outside world knew nothing about it. All they knew was that after the meeting, the two important ministers looked extremely solemn.

This change immediately attracted the close attention of the four major families.

They had originally planned to launch a rebellion on the upcoming wedding day, and now the emperor suddenly summoned important ministers for a long secret talk, which inevitably made them suspicious.

The four major families speculated whether the emperor had already noticed their plan and whether this sudden meeting was a secret deployment against them.

In the hidden basement of a private club in the Holy City, the heads of the four major families gathered quietly through a secret passage.

No one except the four of them knew about the existence of this basement.

In order to keep it secret, they found an excuse to put the craftsmen who had repaired the place in the first place in jail and executed them that night. They didn't even have a chance to appeal for justice.

Troy Cole, the head of the Cole family, sat in a chair with a look of fatigue on his face.

As the day of the rebellion drew closer, he had more and more things to take care of.
