Reincarnation Paradise: The Void Debt Collector

The pair of eyes, which were originally bloodshot, turned red in an instant, and tears flowed from the eye sockets like a flood.

The old king stared closely at Joe Valentine's eyes. If there was anything wrong with Joe Valentine before, he would let Su Xiao get rid of Joe Valentine immediately.

Judging from the current situation, Joe Valentine is a loyal minister.

When the old king said that he would not survive the night, Joe Valentine's eyes immediately turned red, and that look of grief was by no means a disguise.

The old king had seen countless people, and he could see that Joe Valentine was sad from the bottom of his heart.

"Valentin, at my age, life and death are normal."

The old king was not afraid of his impending death, but faced it calmly.

He has experienced the baptism of time and has long become indifferent to life and death.

His body is now suffering torture that ordinary people can hardly imagine every moment. For the old king, death is the best relief for him in this situation.

"Valentin, go and fetch the eldest prince."

"Brat, call the seventh brother over." The old king said to Lin Yi again.

When the old king said this, Lin Yi understood the look in the old king's eyes. It seemed that he wanted to say something private to Su Xiao.

After the two left, the old king glanced at Su Xiao.

"After I die, Lin Yi will be in your care for the time being."

The old king did not expect that Lin Yi could get along with Su Xiao, the cold-faced killer. Originally, the old king wanted to find an opportunity to send Lin Yi to the border, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.

"Under the throne." The old king suddenly spoke, and his words were like a thunderclap in the conference room.

“You are under the throne of curiosity.” The old king looked directly at Su Xiao. That kind of look was definitely not what a dying person should have.

"The high priest and Karen Garrett both knew that there were secrets under the throne, but they didn't know what exactly was under the throne. They died in front of you. As expected, they will reveal some secrets before they die."

The old king patted the armrests of the throne and leaned back on it, feeling the bumpy touch of the throne.

"Iron Hand, what are you looking for under the throne? There is nothing there that you desire." The old king's voice echoed in the council hall, plunging it into dead silence.

"Looking for the key." Now, Su Xiao was ready to talk to the old king.

He was not sure what was under the throne for the time being, but judging from the old king's tone, the other party did not seem to be resistant to the things under the throne.

"Key?" The old king was stunned, and then seemed to think of something.

"The key is on the first floor. You do need that thing. After all, you have inherited the power of the guardians." The old king nodded slightly, as if he had a deeper understanding of Su Xiao's purpose.

Su Xiao's identity as the Shadow of Destruction cannot be concealed at all. If the old king cannot discover this, then there is no need for him to continue staying in this position.

This old fellow looks like he is about to die, but in fact his mind is as clear as a mirror and he sees everything clearly.

"So what you're after is still power. I feel relieved now. I originally thought that what you're after is that thing. It's good that it's not that thing. It's good that it's not that thing."

The old king let out a long sigh, and the sharpness in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief.

In the old king's opinion, if Su Xiao went under the throne, there was no way he would come out alive.

The old king trusted the Iron Hand, but he was not sure that the Iron Hand would be loyal to the new king.

It is true that the old king will not live long, and before he dies, he will use the ultimate means to get rid of some people.

It is not wise to eliminate the Iron Hand by force, but under the throne is a good choice, so on the 'Night of Slaughter', the name of the high priest was added to the list.

Under normal circumstances, the high priest should be dealt with by the Royal Guards, because the Royal Guards are death warriors who can keep many secrets.

Given the old king's meticulous mind, how could he not have thought that the high priest would reveal the secret under the throne before his death?

He had already thought that the news under the throne was actually revealed deliberately by the old king.

The struggle for power is so ruthless. Just now, Joe Valentine, who worked diligently for the old king, was also tempted.

If Joe Valentine's expression had been slightly off at that moment, he would never have walked out of the chamber.

A new emperor has his own ministers. Can the new king really control powerful officials like Su Xiao, Joe Valentine, and Heslet?

The old king made a series of tests, and Heslet was the first to pass.

Joe Valentine had just successfully passed the test. As for Rowan Harvey, before the old king could test him, that guy gave the old king a "surprise".

As for Su Xiao's temptation, Su Xiao had no such opportunity at all.

Because most of the things he did were not allowed to be seen in public, such as killing powerful officials, knowing a lot of secrets of the royal family, persuading a large number of princes and princesses to retire, etc.

It’s not that the old king didn’t want to find an opportunity to test Su Xiao, but that he couldn’t do so.

God knows what will happen when testing. Others may not know Su Xiao's fighting ability, but the old king knows it very well.

The old king once thought of using the royal guards and the holy warriors in the royal capital to besiege Su Xiao, but that would definitely cause a big commotion.

Once the news gets out, the royal family's reputation will plummet.

As for not getting rid of the Iron Hand, that's nothing to joke about.

Except for the old king, other princes and princesses were a little scared when they saw Su Xiao.

They were so scared when they met, how could they expect Su Xiao to work for them? It was impossible.

The old king was well aware of Su Xiao's strength and influence. During this critical period of power transfer, he must handle his relationship with Su Xiao carefully.

The slightest carelessness may lead to unpredictable consequences.

"Your Majesty, will you allow me to enter under the throne?"

"There are at least 300 guards outside the palace."

The old king continued to look at Su Xiao, but a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. This was the first time the old king saw Iron Hand smile. He once thought that Iron Hand did not have such an expression as smiling.

“They can’t stop me.”

"What if I don't allow it?"

"Then I will kill all the royal descendants."

This time, Lidya Su finally stopped hiding his thoughts.

The old king remained silent. Just now, he had bared his fangs, ready to test Su Xiao and even take extreme measures.

But what he didn't expect was that the Iron Hand, who always obeyed him, also showed his fangs.

This sudden situation made it impossible for him to use any of the excuses he had prepared long ago.

Regarding the Iron Hand, the most ideal way is to let the Iron Hand die under the throne, or to become the same kind as those things under the throne and be suppressed under the throne forever.

However, the current situation is completely beyond his expectations.

"Who, exactly, are you?"

With the development of the situation to this point, if the old king still believed that Su Xiao was the original Iron Hand, he would have died from the frequent assassinations of the Undead.

"It doesn't matter, Bailly Herbert, how about we make a deal?"

"Oh?"

"Allow me to bring a prince or princess to the throne. As for the kingship, I have no interest in that thing."

"you……"

The old king looked at Su Xiao in astonishment. This was the first time he showed astonishment, or it could be said that this was a rare instance of him losing his composure.

"How do you know what it takes to enter under the throne? How could you possibly know!"

The old king forced himself to calm down, as the situation was clearly beyond his control.

"It's almost time, the deal is done."

The old king was stunned for a moment, then he thought of something. At this moment, he smiled, and his smile was somewhat relieved.

At this moment, the iron door of the conference room was pushed open, two figures walked into the conference room, and then the door of the conference room was locked.

Blood seeped in through the gap at the bottom of the metal door. At the entrance of the meeting room, there were more than a dozen corpses lying densely packed together. They were all the bodies of the guards.

Hundreds of guards with blood on their armor stood around the meeting hall, preventing anyone from entering.

"Father, I'm here to see you." A male voice came from the door of the conference room, and Joe Valentine followed the visitor respectfully.

"Hahahaha." The old king laughed heartily. He was very relieved now, very relieved.

"Martir, you have become my most outstanding offspring." The old king was not angry, nor did he roar. On the contrary, he looked at the visitor with only relief in his eyes.

The person who came was not the eldest prince who was highly anticipated, but the third prince, Martyr Herbert, who had lost some of his power at the beginning of the power struggle and was not a very high-profile third prince. (End of this chapter)

621.

"How is it? Seventh brother, is this show exciting?" When the third prince successfully broke into the kingdom's council hall, Lin Yi was squatting on the roof of the kingdom's council hall with the seventh prince to watch the show.

These two guys were really bold. They used their swords to poke a big hole in the roof of the kingdom's council hall.

"Hey, kid, it turns out that Seventh Brother's love for you was not in vain." The Seventh Prince was pleased and patted Lin Yi's shoulder gently.

Lin Yi took out the pendant that the old king had given him. Not long after Lin Yi left the kingdom's council hall, the pendant opened by itself.

There was only a piece of paper in the pendant, on which was written a sentence neatly: Take Lao Qi away.

This is exactly why Lin Yi is squatting on the roof of the Kingdom's Council Hall with the Seventh Prince.

Following Lin Yi's notification, the Seventh Prince followed Lin Yi here secretly and waited quietly.

Although the surrounding guards are heavily guarded, like a solid wall, who is the Seventh Prince? He is the strongest holy warrior in the kingdom.

As long as the Seventh Prince is willing, the guards around him won't be able to touch a single hair on his body.

Among several brothers and sisters, the seventh prince was the only one who had been running outside the palace since he was young.

Over the years, he knew every tree and blade of grass in the palace like the back of his hand, and no one knew the specific time of patrol and handover in the palace better than him.

In the meeting room, the old king's eyes slowly swept over the crowd.

The current situation is already very clear. The three princes have secretly allied with the Iron Hand and Archon Joe Valentine and others.

As for the Kingdom Legion Commander Heslet, he had originally supported the Third Prince, but unfortunately Heslet had already gone to the border to carry out his mission.

The third prince was originally one of the two people with the greatest hope of becoming the new king. However, the assassination of the little princess caused his advantage to disappear completely in an instant.

The third prince was filled with resentment. He had a bright future ahead of him, but he fell into trouble because of this unexpected incident.

In fact, the third prince controls a large number of troops.

If he wanted to rebel, no one could stop him.

But the third prince did not choose this path, or rather, he always tried to maintain stability in the capital.

No matter how disadvantaged he was in the struggle for power, he would never mobilize the troops guarding the Wall of God.

In his heart, there is a clear distinction between the important and the unimportant. He can accept the failure of seizing power, but the Wall of God must be defended.

Originally, the third prince had given up hope of ascending the throne, but who could have thought that Rowan Harvey would actually commit treason.

Upon hearing this shocking news, the third prince was surprised and happy.

Rowan Harvey's treasonous act almost caused the eldest prince's advantage to plummet.

Rowan Harvey is responsible for managing finances, and the eldest prince also holds certain financial powers, so there must be an unclear relationship between the two.

When the eldest prince learned the news of Rowan Harvey's treason, he was so scared that he almost peed himself.

He knew very well that if Rowan Harvey committed treason, he would definitely suffer the consequences.

The kingdom's finances were a closely connected whole, not a series of separate, independent parts.

Therefore, the eldest prince hurriedly stood up to show his loyalty, claiming that he would withdraw from the struggle for power and devote himself to stabilizing the kingdom's finances.

Although he seems to be righteous, he is actually trying his best to save his own life.

The old king was not surprised when the eldest prince stepped forward.

Because the old king knew the eldest prince's character very well, that cautious, elegant, yet hypocritical character, which was actually very similar to the old king when he was young.

It is for this reason that the old king has always been fond of the eldest prince.

But the third prince also stood up, which surprised the old king very much.

In the old king's view, the eldest prince was forced to withdraw, and the third prince was undoubtedly the most advantageous candidate.

The third prince dared to jump towards the throne so boldly, and he could not have done it without the help of one person, and that person was Joe Valentine.
