Reincarnation Paradise: The Void Debt Collector

As the vice president of the Royal Capital Alchemy Academy, Lin Yi's position in the capital is one of low rank but high power.

Many officials would come to Lin Yi for help with problems big and small. At this time, Lin Yi was talking to several crown princes.

After all, according to his status, Lin Yi is the cousin of these crown princes and belongs to the same royal bloodline.

Under such circumstances, these crown princes also wanted to do their best to win over Lin Yi.

Even if you can't win him over, you must not offend him. Otherwise, just imagining an alchemy master as an enemy is enough to give you a headache.

"Iron Hand, you slipped away early yesterday, but I haven't had a good sleep yet."

The old man Rowan Harvey spoke, his face showing an unconcealable tiredness. It seemed that confiscating a house was not an easy job.

Bubuwang, who was in invisible state, looked at Rowan Harvey and couldn't help but admire his excellent acting skills.

If Su Xiao and Lin Yi had not already noticed Rowan Harvey's abnormality, it would be hard to imagine that the old man in front of them was actually a spy planted by the Undead.

"Killing is not easy either. I met Joseph Ke last night." Su Xiao showed a smile on his face.

Since the old guy Rowan Harvey has started to show off his acting skills, Su Xiao doesn't mind acting opposite him.

"Joseph Ko?"

The Kingdom Legion Commander, Heslet, spoke, and he obviously recognized Joseph Coe.

"Right now he……"

Although Heslett seemed to be asking casually, he actually wanted Joseph Coe to live.

"I killed him. If I'm not mistaken, he came to repay a favor."

"Is this so?"

Heslet sighed, with some regret in his eyes.

"Have a drink." Heslett picked up the wine glass and filled it so full that the wine almost overflowed the brim.

Rowan Harvey and Archon Joe Valentine also raised their metal wine glasses, and Su Xiao did the same.

Ding~

The crisp sound of clinking glasses rang out in the banquet hall, and the four of them drank the wine in their glasses.

This seemingly simple action is actually a silent attitude.

"Bai Ye, let's talk about something private. When you killed the high priest last night, did he say anything interesting? That guy is a charlatan."

Governor Joe Valentine spoke up. He was a thin middle-aged man who was in charge of most of the officials.

When Su Xiao heard Joe Valentine mention the high priest, he immediately turned his gaze to look at him.

Sure enough, none of these guys in front of me are easy to deal with. (End of this chapter)

615.

The reason why Joe Valentine said that was obvious, which was to imply that he already knew that the high priest had revealed the situation under the throne to Lin Yi last night.

It should be noted that apart from Lin Yi and Su Xiao, only the Imperial Guards knew about this matter.

As for the high priest's own people? They were all killed by Su Xiao and the guards that night.

This means that Joe Valentine has arranged for someone to intervene in the Royal Guards.

This is not a good sign. You know, the Guards are the royal army. The fact that Joe Valentine was able to place people in the Guards fully demonstrates that the old king seems to have lost control over his subordinates.

But based on Su Xiao's understanding of the old king, it was impossible for this old lion to fail to notice Joe Valentine's little movements.

Is he deliberately letting it go? Is he looking for a suitable reason to kill Joe Valentine?

However, Su Xiao just thought about these things in his mind, and his expression did not change at all.

"Interesting thing? He said he wanted to marry his daughter to me and asked me to spare his life." Lidya Su responded in a flat tone.

"The high priest has a daughter?" Joe Valentine looked surprised.

"She might be an illegitimate daughter. That guy has always been unruly. But judging from his looks, his daughter..." Su Xiao shook his head slightly. He didn't finish his words, but left people with endless room for imagination.

"Hahaha." Heslett laughed out loud. He has always been a generous person, and this sudden humorous remark made him laugh.

Joe Valentine on the other side blinked at Su Xiao, and there seemed to be some deep meaning in his eyes.

"I am optimistic about the third prince. I like him no matter how I look at him." Legion commander Heslet said. His support for the third prince was something everyone could expect. After all, Heslet held military power and his position in the kingdom was crucial.

As for standing on the wrong side, that's a joke.

Even if Heslet really stood on the wrong side, what would happen? He had a firm grip on the military power. If Heslet got into trouble, the consequences would be disastrous, and the frontline war zone could collapse in an instant.

As long as the new king is sane, no matter who Heslet supports, the new king will not dare to touch Heslet easily. Instead, he will try his best to win over the kingdom's army commander.

"Who do you support? Do you think I don't want to live?" Joe Valentine laughed dryly. He couldn't reveal who he supported casually. If he stood on the wrong side, it would be bad.

"Valentin, have you been beaten by your wife again? Why is your face bruised?" Rowan Harvey began to tease Joe Valentine. Joe Valentine, this big shot, has a characteristic, that is, he is henpecked.

His wife is a super ruthless person, and it is hard to say who has the upper hand in the couple's nightlife.

Even though the four of them appear to be very harmonious on the surface, they actually have their own thoughts.

Rowan Harvey is a spy sent by the Undead, and he is ready to escape.

Su Xiao is the Iron Hand responsible for clearing out dissidents, and for the other three people he is like a sword hanging over their heads.

Joe Valentine was more cunning. He had already known about Rowan Harvey and Su Xiao's situation through the Royal Guards, but he didn't say a word today. He looked like a great consul who really knew nothing.

Only Heslet was confused and knew nothing.

The four people present now may have more cunning ideas than all the people in the entire venue combined.

Su Xiao quietly waited for Rowan Harvey to show his hand, while Rowan Harvey was patiently waiting for the opportunity to escape. Joe Valentine chose not to help either side and was ready to sit on the mountain and watch the fight.

It is no wonder that the old king wanted to clean out these officials before these crown princes entered the city. If these crown princes were really put together with Su Xiao and others, I am afraid that these crown princes would not even know how they died.

"Shut up, you old pig," Joe Valentine yelled.

"He must have been beaten up by his wife again." Heslet continued to add fuel to the fire with a gloating smile on his face.

"One is a reckless man, the other is an old fool, and you two are both old and unruly." Joe Valentine cursed again.

These people are the most powerful people besides the old king. However, are important people necessarily serious and well-mannered?

This is not true. In private, these bigwigs also swear, but it is not known to outsiders.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are high above everyone else, and they have a sense of majesty just by sitting there.

Not to mention these three people, the old king would also swear at Su Xiao and the other four when he was extremely angry.

Once, the old king was so angry with Heslet that he pointed at Heslet's nose and yelled, "Get out of here!"

This is how the confidants get along with each other. If other officials angered the old king, no, there was no way they could anger the old king because they would have turned into corpses before that.

At the dining table in the distance, two girls of about seventeen or eighteen were chatting and laughing in low voices. These two were princesses of the kingdom. Due to their young age, they wisely gave up the fight for power and therefore did not need to get caught up in the vortex of intrigue.

"Lydiya, what do you think the four of them are discussing?" One of the princesses tilted her head slightly, curiosity showing in her eyes.

"I don't know. They should be discussing something important. Lord Joe Valentine's face has turned red. It must be something very important." Lydia responded softly, and her eyes occasionally looked in the direction of Su Xiao and the other four.

In fact, her heart was also full of curiosity, and she really wanted to know what national affairs Su Xiao and the other four were discussing.

In fact, Rowan Harvey was vividly describing the embarrassing scene where he and Joe Valentine had fun and were blocked by Joe Valentine's wife.

At this moment, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open and the king arrived.

The old king's arrival immediately quieted down the banquet hall, which had been a little noisy.

"Father."

"Father."

There were three princes and one princess who came forward. They were the eldest prince, the third prince, the seventh prince, and the second princess.

Except for the Sixth Princess, the four most promising contenders have arrived at the capital.

The Sixth Princess didn't come, not because the journey was too long, but because something went wrong in her territory.

The earliest she can come is tomorrow, or maybe the day after tomorrow.

The first thing the old king did not do after entering the room was to look at the crown princes, but to glance at Lin Yi in the corner.

Lin Yi smiled at the old king, then lowered his head and continued eating.

After seeing Lin Yi, the old king did not make any extra movements. He just looked at Lin Yi quietly, then came in front of several crown princes, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to go down.

Seeing that everyone's attention was not on him, Lin Yi quietly moved a few steps to the center and came to the vicinity of Su Xiao's table.

At this time, everyone began to gather in the middle as much as possible so that they could be closer to the king.

Lin Yi's action did not arouse suspicion from others. After all, in this occasion, everyone was looking for their own position and striving for more opportunities.

While Lin Yi was observing Rowan Harvey, he also looked at the four princes or princesses.

There is nothing special about the eldest prince, the small mustache on his chin is an obvious identification.

The only impression he gave people was that he was gentle and polite.

He was surrounded by a large group of officials, like a star among the crowd, enjoying everyone's attention.

The third prince was wearing light armor and looked a little gloomy.

His age is close to that of the eldest prince, but he gives people the impression of being iron-blooded and decisive.

The seventh prince is a handsome and elegant man, different from the previous two princes.

He is only 28 years old and full of youthful energy.

At this time, he was flirting with girls in the banquet hall. Of course, this "flirting with girls" is just a short name, the full name is flirting with your own sister.

Now, in the banquet hall, there were officials, wealthy businessmen, a bunch of old men, and only two young girls, the two princesses.

The second princess sat at the edge. Although she was not young, she had a beautiful appearance.

There were also several officials around her who were trying to show their courtesy and make a good impression.

As for 'taking sides', it is not possible now, after all, the situation is still unclear.

During the banquet, wherever the old king went, the atmosphere would become lively.

The old king's attitude towards those officials was neither close nor distant. He just maintained the majesty and demeanor of a king.

Soon, the old king came to the seats of Su Xiao and the other four.

Seeing the old king walking slowly towards him, the kingdom's army commander, Heslet, shrank his neck. The only person this fearless guy was afraid of was the old king.

"Your Majesty." Consul Joe Valentine quickly stood up, ran to the old king's side, and supported him carefully, perfectly portraying the image of a lackey.

His face was full of flattery and his eyes were full of ingratiation.

Su Xiao sat there without moving, and the kingdom's financial officer, Rowan Harvey, did the same. The kingdom's army commander, Heslett, looked around, trying to find a chance to escape.

The old king, supported by Joe Valentine, came near the three of them and sat in the seat that Joe Valentine had taken before.

"Herslett, when you saw me coming, did you want to run away?" The old king spoke, his voice neither fast nor slow, but with a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.

"How...how is it possible? Your Majesty, you are worrying too much." Heslet hurriedly denied, but cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.

His eyes were full of tension and anxiety, as if he was a child who had done something wrong and was caught by an adult.

"Sit here quietly. If you dare to slip away early today, I will break all three of your legs." The old king's tone was stern and left no room for questioning.

"Yes, yes." Heslet nodded repeatedly, not daring to show any sign of disobedience.

Rowan Harvey on the side secretly turned his head, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible so as not to be noticed by the old king.

The old king seemed to have noticed Rowan Harvey, so he pulled him out as well.

"Rowen, how did that matter go?"

"Your Majesty, except for the real estate, the assets of Hervé Anthony have been basically confiscated, including..."

The old king raised his hand to signal that there was no need to continue.

"If anyone dares to act rashly in the capital, the four of you will grind him to dust."

The old king's seemingly unintentional words actually contain multiple profound meanings.

The most obvious meaning is to let the four people temporarily unite the power system and jointly maintain the stability and order of the royal capital.
