Chapter 621: Chapter 448: Aileen’s Despair (3800)

Qin Chu’s appearance could not be faked; anyone could see that Mr. Brave was now extremely weak.

There was even only Asina beside him, and Silf was nowhere to be seen.

This situation made Aileen feel even more certain of her victory.

To Aileen, Qin Chu’s calm and confident expression was nothing more than a bluff intended to scare her away or to buy time until reinforcements could arrive.

However, she, Aileen, was not the type to fall for such simple and foolish tricks.

She would not even bother to talk much with Qin Chu – it was better to eliminate this enemy sooner rather than later.

"King Edson, have your men block off the surroundings; do not let anyone approach."

Facing the King, Aileen showed no respect at all, already having the foolish and incompetent king completely under her control, with the most beloved Little Princess in her hands, she was not afraid the King would disobey.

Only then did Qin Chu’s gaze fall on King Edson: "King Edson, I really did not expect you to collude with this foolish woman. Have you considered the consequences?"

King Edson gave a sinister smile: "I’m sorry, Mr. Brave, although I do not wish for you to die in the Kingdom, but, my young daughter’s life is still in this woman’s hands. In hell, blame her if you must."

Immediately, King Edson nodded slightly towards Aileen and, upon receiving Aileen’s approval, he stepped back, creating some distance, and took out something resembling a firework from his breast; with a crackling sound, the sky burst into brilliant light.

The next moment, a large number of City Guard swarmed from all sides, completely surrounding the inn, making it completely impenetrable.

This scene made Aileen’s face even more triumphant, convinced now that this place was so well-enclosed that even if Qin Chu had an opportunity, he could not escape from there.

One by one, the City Guard drew their long bows, their sharp arrows all aimed at the inn ahead.

"Turn him into a hedgehog," Aileen commanded harshly.

Just then, a bizarre scene occurred—the large group of soldiers suddenly switched their target.

The sharp arrows were directed straight at Aileen, and a dense barrage of arrows enveloped her like rain.

These were not normal arrows; every archer was a master of Fighting Energy, and the arrows glowed with various lights.

Aileen’s face drastically changed as she instinctively swung the dagger in her hand, chopping the whooshing crossbow bolts one by one. When the arrows ceased and she looked around, besides the three top experts given to her by the mysterious person, Tatter and the other two members, dozens of other skilled members from Hidden Society were already riddled with holes, their bodies studded with bolts.

Bodies still twitched on the ground, and bright red blood spread across the floor, emitting a strong scent of blood.

Instead of turning Qin Chu into a hedgehog, it was her side that suddenly had dozens of hedgehogs.

Hiss!

Aileen’s body trembled violently.

This sudden change stunned Aileen, and then she became enraged, her once beautiful face now twisted into a hideous knot, almost like an evil ghost.

She could not believe that just when victory seemed within reach, such a reversal could occur.

King Edson, this old fool, dared to betray her?

Her bloodshot eyes stared dead at King Edson, wishing she could just flay and grind King Edson to ashes, "King Edson, you dare betray me?"

"Betrayal?"

This man, who seemed like a harmless old man, finally showed the cunning befitting a king.

And that wasn’t all. Beside King Edson, Miluo, Fini, Selma—the three Princesses—and the other Princes all appeared, each in military outf

His fingers stroked his beard, his face wearing a mock: "Foolish creature."

"I am the king of the Kingdom. Did you really expect me to be loyal to you?"

"Without loyalty, how can there be betrayal?"

"Don’t you care about your daughter’s life?" In her extreme anger, Aileen’s voice even broke.

"I do care about my daughter’s life," King Edson’s voice rang clear and strong. "But, I am not just a father; I am also the King of Exeter."

"In my hands, I hold not only Suna’s life but also the lives of millions of people in the Kingdom."

"I may be old, but I still know what’s heavy and what’s light," King Edson said solemnly.

Should Mr. Brave truly die here and the Royal Family be involved, King Edson had no doubt the Kingdom would face what. The mere retribution from Holy Court and the companions of the Hero alone would be a disaster the Kingdom could not withstand.

King Edson did not wish to see his young daughter harmed, but as a king, he had a responsibility to all the people of the Kingdom.

"Good, good... good..." King Edson’s words caused Aileen to tremble uncontrollably, her fury making her repeat the word ’good’ three times. Initially, she meant to kill Qin Chu, but no harm came to Qin Chu’s side, and instead, dozens of her men perished first.

This outcome was completely unacceptable to Aileen’s mind.

She screamed like a madwoman: "King Edson, I really underestimated you, but no matter, I will return your daughter to you, though in pieces. Tell me, do you think your daughter will hate you, her father, as she dies?"
