Chapter 122: Perfect Speech

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The three princes were stunned, dumbfounded as they looked at each other in surprise after hearing Fike’s words.

Truthfully, Fike was taking a risk.

He’d figured that since he knew the three of them were involved with some sort of scheme with the Heavenly King’s Palace, why not play along?

He would give a speech enough to make the enemy retreat.

“What exactly do you know?”

Ron asked, his frustration clear in his voice.

Fike smiled.

“I know a lot!”

Looking at the three princes solemnly, he said.

“Don’t tell me you don’t think I know about the auditorium on the north mountain of the Imperial Capital?”

Fike taunted calmly, noticing that the expressions on the trio’s faces had turned strange after they heard him say this.

As such, he continued.

“Actually, even our king has already known about your dealings with the Heavenly King’s Palace!”

Fike’s eyes were wide in anger as he glared at them.

When the three princes heard the words ‘Heavenly King’s Palace’, their expressions became more and more terrified.

Especially the second prince, who took half a step back and almost fell down.

“You… How did you know?”

Luo Minzhang asked anxiously.

“How did I know? Hahaha! I’ve known for a long time!”

Fike’s gaze never backed down from them.

“I’ve known since the first day of your plans!”

Seeing that his posturing had been effective, he continued.

“His Majesty, the king of the rebellion against the Heavenly King’s Palace, has already sent people to clean up the auditorium on the north mountain! As for the main force of the Heavenly King’s Palace that you’ve planted outside the city…”

Fike laughed abruptly.

“Take a look. Know what this is?”

As he spoke, Fike procured the Hercules’ Fury, exposing it in front of their eyes.

When the three princes saw the evil blade of Zakaithus, they all cried out in surprise.

The second prince even directly collapsed onto the ground.

“Big brother, could it be that we’ve really already failed?”

Ron asked Luo Hao.

Luo Hao tried to steel his nerves, pretending to be calm.

“No, impossible. Our plan is still seven days away. How could it have ended before we’ve even made a move?”

Realizing that the three before him were gradually losing their fighting spirit, Fike continued to press on.

“Didn’t you consider that Zakaithus may have also had selfish motives?”

He savored the crumbling spirits of the princes as he went on.

“The initial plans of the Heavenly King’s Palace involved waiting for the three of you to carry out a coup in the palace before swooping in to capture all of you.

“You can’t really have thought that Zakaithus was just doing this for your benefit, right? Didn’t you know that he’s the one who longs to be king the most?”

Second Prince Ron could no longer stand straight.

He immediately began turning to Luo Hao and Luo Minzhang.

“Boss, Third Brother, why don’t we surrender? I’ve already told you that this was risky, but you didn’t listen to me. This is just great…”

Suddenly , the second prince seemed to have thought of something as he knelt and crawled to the side of Ross Collin III’s bed.

“Father, father, please! Spare your son this time! I won’t dare to do this again in the future. I will stay by your side and be filial to you, okay? Can you please spare my life? I don’t want to die!”

Ross Collin III glared furiously at his son, who had tears streaming down his face.

He slapped him harshly.

“Where were you then, when you were trying to harm me?”

Seeing the king’s renewed vitality, Luo Minzhang couldn’t believe his eyes.

He hadn’t expected Fike’s elixir to be so effective, healing the severely ill king in such a short time.

Luo Minzhang’s spirit began to waver gradually as well.

Only the first prince, Luo Hao, was still forcing himself to continue in disbelief.

“Impossible… How is this possible?”

After weighing the pros and cons in his head, Luo Minzhang suddenly knelt down and crawled to the side of Ross Collin III’s bed as his brother had done before him.

Grabbing his father’s hand, he cried.

“Father, it’s my fault! It’s all my fault for not being sensible! I’ve been deceived by big brother’s rebellious thoughts. I never actually wanted to fight against Father! I beg you, father! Show mercy and let your son go! Alright?”

The third prince continuously slapped himself as he spoke.

Seeing that his two younger brothers had already betrayed him, Luo Hao made up his mind.

He spoke coldly and resolutely.

“Second and Third Brother… You’d actually dare to betray me at such a juncture… Good! Then since I can’t live, everyone can die with me!”

With that, the first prince gave the order, summoning the elite soldiers and generals to action as they rushed into the room and blocked all the exits.

Looking around at the motley crowd, Fike spoke.

“His Majesty’s personal guards are about to arrive in the palace. If you put down your weapons now, I can spare your lives. If you continue to be stubborn, however, and wait for the personal guards to arrive, you will all be in big trouble!”

Hearing Fike’s words, the elite guards of the Heavenly King’s Palace looked troubled and hesitated.

“Is it true? Has our plan failed?”

“Look! Isn’t that Lord Zakaithus’ weapon? Why is it in his hands?”

“Could it be that we have all been caught in one go?”

“Why don’t we surrender! At least we can still save our lives!”

Watching the soldiers, who were discussing among themselves fervently, the first prince yelled angrily.

“What are you all just standing there for? Hurry up and attack! Do you really believe what this kid said?”

Seeing that no one moved, he continued.

“Attack now! If anyone can kill this kid, I will personally confer them title and land when I’m king!”

Hearing this, some of the soldiers finally wavered.

Raising their knives, they slashed toward Fike.

Fike sneered.

How could these shrimps match against him?

His demonic sword was unsheathed with a raise of his hand, and the soldiers that had been charging toward him all fell to the ground, heavily injured.

Fike was not willing to kill humans.

As such, as he fought back, he still held back a lot.

Realizing the youth’s absurd strength, the soldiers were completely dumbfounded.

Finally, they all threw away their weapons before kneeling on the ground to beg for mercy.

“Please… Please, Sir… let us go! We were also forced… by His Highness, the first prince, to rebel!”

“Yes, yes! Sir, we beg you! Let us go! We have elders and children! Sir!”

“Sir, please let this pathetic dog’s life go. I will never dare to do this again!”

Seeing that all his soldiers had surrendered, the first prince, Luo Hao, roared desperately.

“All of you, get up! Get up!”

After a while, he too finally put down the weapon in his hand as he crumbled to the ground.

“I’ve really been defeated… utterly defeated!”
