Chapter 773 - 252: Judgment Will Finally Come
This whole thing was just a farce from beginning to end...
A faint White Mist drifted out from Goliath's skull, seemingly a sigh of regret.
Unlike the pressing Intelligence Minister and the spectator-like Military Minister and Chief Minister, he actually wanted to protect Zakro Dragon. The grandiose arrest was essentially to buy time for the latter to clean up the mess.
However, all signs pointed to the fact that the guy had already lost his mind and become unreasonable, repeatedly seeking something that simply didn't exist...
Perhaps returning to the Rebirth Pool to wash away memories and reincarnate would be the best fate for him.
As for where he will go in his next life, let the respected Your Majesty Bayele decide.
"By the way, there's another piece of news..."
The Judger, prostrating on the ground, hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice, and continued, "We learned that about half a month ago, Luo Yan had a meeting with Xino Dragon. The latter was originally Zakro's appointed next Family Head."
The Soul Fire flickering in Goliath's pupils suddenly contracted for an instant, glaring at the Judger prostrating on the ground.
"You mean, he provoked Xino to betray his own grandfather?"
This guy even anticipated Zakro's contingency plan...
And before the latter took action!
Feeling the immense pressure on his shoulders, a bead of cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the Judger prostrating on the ground, trembling as he spoke.
"We have no evidence... We only know they met, but not what they discussed specifically."
Goliath withdrew his gaze and leaned back into the stone seat's backrest.
"Then don't speak recklessly."
"Yes..."
The Judger's shoulders trembled slightly, knowing the meaning of the Minister of Religion, while sighing for Elder Zakro.
Even the only person who could save him had given up on him, it seems the Dragon family is truly finished this time...
...
Meanwhile, at Black Wind Castle located in the outskirts of Demon City, the chaos engulfing the entire city has already subsided.
Under Snick's leadership, the Goblin Residential Committee quickly took control of the situation, not only shifting the blame to those dead goblins who were purged but also distributing relief supplies to residents affected by the chaos, handing out antidotes to goblins and Hell Dwarves affected by the 'Blood of Corruption', and stabilizing the wildly fluctuating prices due to the collapse of the Trade Union.
This riot itself was a plot they initiated, and releasing the pressure before it expanded was naturally a piece of cake for them, especially since they also received support from Black Wind Castle's garrison and the Lord's Mansion.
With the few cards granted personally by Luo Yan, Snick not only quelled the chaos in Black Wind Castle but restored production at the Magic Crystal Cannon Factory and dealt with those rebels disregarding him among the goblin community.
Luo Yan was very satisfied with this individual's performance.
Especially since he didn't let the sesame-sized power from going to his head, even though he replaced or surpassed Grock's position, he unwaveringly stood on the side of the Lord's Mansion.
Clearly, Grock's death, like that of a dead dog, deeply traumatized this fellow.
For a long time to come, he probably won't forget that face...
Black Wind Castle's Lord's Mansion.
Luo Yan and Mr. Feistin sat together having afternoon tea, discussing the events of the past few days in Demon City.
Ever since Professor Adonia helped to formulate the antidote for the Blood of Corruption, Luo Yan rushed back to Black Wind Castle with the antidote to preside over the overall situation.
Though the Dragon family had taken on all the blame, including putting Black Wind Castle's chaos on their shoulders, it didn't mean that Luo Yan could act as if nothing happened and remain aloof.
After all, his persona in Hell wasn't that of a tyrant.
Moreover, as the local Lord, now was the time to test his governance abilities.
And in the end, the outcome did not disappoint the numerous forces who had high expectations for him. The Magic Crystal Cannon Factory quickly resumed production, and even the new equipment production line was not significantly impacted.
The first batch of steam-powered Magic Crystal Tanks was delivered to the front line as scheduled.
Although Luo Yan felt that the actual combat effectiveness of those things was probably not as good as the Magic Crystal Cannon, he couldn't overcome Prince Colin, the Military Minister's fondness for those moving iron coffins, particularly liking the promises he made during the delivery of the Magic Crystal Tanks.
The ability to restore local production order in such a short time undoubtedly proved his competence to all those who doubted him.
"...It's truly unexpected that you actually did it." Feistin said, placing his teacup back on the tray, smiling at Luo Yan sitting opposite.
Luo Yan casually replied.
"Are you referring to the resolution of the plague in Black Wind Castle? That's Professor Adonia's merit, I even wrote a thank-you letter to Demon High School for it."
Looking at Luo Yan pretending to be ignorant, Feistin chuckled.
"You know that's not what I'm referring to."
"Oh?" Luo Yan smiled lightly, his tone gentle as he responded, "Then I guessed wrong, thank you for your appraisal."
Feistin, smiling, looked at this young Demon King, growing more satisfied the more he looked.
If two months ago he only regarded this young man with limitless potential favorably, now this "favor" likely contained a rare admiration and appreciation.
He seriously considered that if he were in the same position, facing the powerful behemoth like the Dragon family as a Silver Level demon, the only solution would probably be to have the esteemed Lady Serena become pregnant as quickly as possible.
