Chapter 1233: Chapter 1233: The Dispute Between Civil and Military Chapter 1233: Chapter 1233: The Dispute Between Civil and Military Julius Reed shut his mouth.
He stopped moving.
Quietly waiting.
“Hehe, do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand in The North Sea?”
A hoarse voice approached from afar,
reaching Julius Reed’s ears.
Left Minister!
Julius Reed had heard this voice when he was carried into the hall.
He was familiar with it.
What kind of sins had he committed?
First poisoned by Right Minister, and now Left Minister was creating trouble?
Yet, all he could do was watch and wait.
Julius Reed lay stiffly, beginning to suppress the energy within his body.
He looked like he was about to die.
“This old fox Right Minister, what can he do to compete with me!”
Left Minister held a pill in his hand, pried open Julius Reed’s mouth, and threw the pill inside.
“Hehe.”
He sneered coldly, just about to leave, but suddenly felt his hand being grabbed!
“You!”
Left Minister shivered and took three steps back!
Breaking free from that hand.
His heart raced!
This was something scandalous.
In front of him, Julius Reed slowly sat up, his eyes showing a hint of tiredness.
Like he had just woken up.
“Are you…”
Julius Reed rubbed his eyes, slightly confused, “Where am I?”
“This is The North Sea! I am the Left Minister of The North Sea!”
Left Minister calmed himself, and forcefully composed himself, “You killed Mad Dragon, the king is very pleased, hence he sent someone to bring you here, preparing to confer you as king. Congratulations, future son-in-law of The North Sea.”
He wondered inwardly, was the medicine so potent?
It woke him up just after swallowing it?
That’s not what the person who gave him the medicine said.
“The North Sea? Left Minister!”
Hearing this name, Julius Reed looked horrified!
He curled up in the corner, shivering.
His eyes filled with terror!
Like he had seen something exceedingly fearful!
“What is it?” Left Minister felt slightly astonished.
“Young man, why such a strong reaction?”
Seeing him as if he’d seen a ghost, he was quite surprised.
Was he that ugly?
Not really!
“Don’t! Don’t kill me!”
Julius Reed shouted in fear, his voice even a bit hoarse.
“Kill you? Why would I want to kill you?”
Left Minister was even more bewildered.
Could it be that the young man was awake when he administered the drug?
That shouldn’t be the case!
Although he was a Civilian Official, he also pursued the path of a scholar!
A Great Grandmaster!
Although he couldn’t defeat the Right Minister, he was only slightly behind him.
Stronger than people like Solaris Grove by a lot.
When the Left Minister touched the youth just now, the other party was clearly about to die!
“Just now… just a moment ago! A person claiming to be the Right Minister forced me to swallow a pill, saying it wouldn’t be proper to disappoint Solaris Grove!”
Julius Reed was proficient in various skills, including acting.
That’s the advantage of being bored.
When a person can never die, he could learn anything to pass the time.
Seeing him like this, the Left Minister was utterly convinced!
In his words, there was even a hint of joy, “Were you awake at that time?”
“Give me a way out! I will leave immediately, I promise I won’t stop anyone! Please, I’m just an ordinary person!”
Julius Reed pleaded, “I shouldn’t aspire to be ennobled or appointed as a minister. Can I go?”
His words were earnest, his face full of fear.
Just like the real thing.
“Young man! Let me make one thing clear!”
The Left Minister cleared his throat, turned his back, and said, “In the North Sea King Court, only the king himself has the authority to decide someone’s life and death! I am the Left Minister, although I am a minister of the same court as the Right Minister, we are loyal to the king! If the Right Minister does something detrimental to The North Sea monarchy, I will not turn a blind eye!”
He took a step forward, then stopped.
“You can trust me! Frankly speaking, if I hadn’t given you the antidote, you would have certainly died!”
“Is that true?”
Julius Reed touched his throat, lost in thought.
“But my existence is blocking Solaris Grove’s path to promotion… I fear…”
He hesitated to continue.
“Hmph! We in the North Sea monarchy have thousands of people! Ennoblement and appointments are for the capable! The king is eager for capable men, respecting the virtuous!” the Left Minister said angrily upon hearing this, “Unbelievable that the Right Minister, head of the military officials, would stoop so low!”
He walked over to Julius Reed, his face showing compassion, “But don’t worry, I will protect you thoroughly!”
Apparently worried that Julius Reed didn’t trust him, the Left Minister gently took his hand, his expression sorrowful, “My son, Bright King, died at the hands of Mad Dragon! And you avenging him by killing Mad Dragon recompenses me. For both public and private reasons, I must protect you thoroughly! Otherwise, how can I console my son in heaven!”
If Bright King really had a spirit in heaven, he would probably die again from anger!
To cozy up to the murderer of his own child?
“That makes sense!” Julius Reed pretended to relax his guard, sounding helpless, “I killed Mad Dragon, not to avenge your son, but to avenge my fallen comrades from Medicine King Valley and seek glory and wealth. I cannot accept such words from you, Left Minister.”
“Frankness!”
The Left Minister gave a thumbs up, “An open and candid man is much better than those hypocritical people! For these words alone, I will absolutely protect you!”
“However…” Julius Reed hesitated, “I should still leave. Staying here, I’m blocking many people’s paths to promotion. Compared to power, I prefer to live. Thank you for your kindness, Left Minister.”
With that, he got off the bed.
But just as he took a step, he fell straight down.
“Be careful!”
The Left Minister quickly stepped forward catching Julius Reed, “You are weak, you should not leave yet! If you want, I will immediately take you to meet the king and expose the crimes of the Right Minister!”
“Left Minister, you are putting me on the grill! The Right Minister, being the head of the military officials, would leave me with no remains if I accuse him!” Julius Reed shook his head, his face bitter, “I just want to live.”
“So be it!”
The Left Minister sighed, looking at the youth, “Honestly speaking, the person you are blocking isn’t Solaris Grove, but the Right Minister!”
“Why? The Right Minister has high authority over the military in The North Sea, even if I stay, I would have to obey him.” Julius Reed feigned confusion.
“Haha! The king has long been dissatisfied with the Right Minister! When the North Sea King Court was first established, he greatly promoted his confidants, creating a situation too difficult to control! During the battle with Mad Dragon, our North Sea forces suffered heavily, the Right Minister had nowhere to place his face!”
The Left Minister scoffed, with scorn, “The king has already thought about replacing him with you hence the Right Minister’s desperate attempt to kill you!”
“That’s how it is!”
Julius Reed pretended to suddenly realize, “But what should I do?”
“You are the son-in-law of The North Sea, no one can kill you! You don’t need to testify for today’s event, I will personally meet the king and relay what happened! The king will understand.” The Left Minister patted his shoulder, “If you ever need help in the future, just ask!”
“Thank you, Left Minister!”
After Julius Reed politely finished speaking, he suddenly said, “Since the Right Minister is after me, why not infiltrate his side and gather evidence? Please help me when the time comes.”
“Brilliant!”
The Left Minister nodded and chuckled, “You rest first.”
