Chapter 651: You have such a clever mouth

"So what exactly is it that you are suggesting I do with your carefully worded language? Let me guess, T4, you want me to let things be."

There was no need for her to read between the lines to understand that which her system meant to say.

"Let the river take it’s natural course host, you were here for a mission. The rebel mission has been diverted by seventy percent and the danger to you has gone down as well. It’s not ignorable but it’s not at a maximum either."

But no matter what he said, she could not walk away because her conscience would not let her. How could she leave these women and children who were terrified and crying?

"By the way, Fu Jui’s sister is this one." T4 sent a picture on her virtual screen and added direct video footage of her.

She was one of the women at the furthest ends, and she was carrying one child in her hands and another, a little girl was clenching on to her back.

She had made a promise to Fu Jui that she would search for his sister. She had not made any promises on whether she would find her dead or alive because life was not something she had control over. But she would be able to keep the promise she made to him.

"Not if the masked goons get their way." T4 hopped onto her thoughts to say this. "By the way, there is one more guest on the island, perhaps you can manipulate this one into saving them."

The colonel looked at a few of the masked soldiers and then at Chi Lian whose face had lost it’s smile but not it’s determination. "Everyone, why don’t we point our weapons away from the victims."

"And what makes you call them victims, colonel?" The newly arrived guest was the grand emperor.

He was the one that T4 suggested she manipulate.

"Your highness." The colonel bowed and so did all the soldiers.

In those small three seconds of distraction, one of the handcuffed criminals attempted to escape.

Chi Lian who had not bowed shot that one in the back with her smart gun.

Two soldiers rushed to bring his unconscious body back to the fold.

"And that right there proves my point." The grand emperor said righteously.

"Hmph," Chi Lian said, a weird whistling like nose accompanied that word.

"Do you have something to say, young one?" The grand emperor looked her way and asked.

"A handcuffed criminal that has already been tagged as a criminal has tried to escape. None of these women did. Even some of those young men who look frightened for their lives stayed in place. It’s a good thing that you are here grand emperor, perhaps you can assure them that they will not be killed today."

The grand emperor laughed and touched his bottom lip. She was cornering him and in this moment, he could be the hero or the villain. It was obvious that if he chose to order for their death, even the soldiers would walk away this day with heavy hearts, thinking of the royal family as cruel.

"You have such a clever mouth, little girl." He said through gritted teeth.

"That’s because I eat lots of sugar." Chi Lian joked.

The grand emperor walked closer and stood in front of a crowd of close to two hundred people who were left alive of those that had been occupying the island. At least eighty of them were men in handcuffs.

Many hopeful eyes were on the grand emperor and he sighed. It was time to change the plan.

"Citizens of the empire, you have been wronged and you have lived a hard life. I know that you must be scared right now and that your hearts are in pain. I know that some of you are even angry that we have taken so long to find you, but it’s not because we have not been looking. It’s because the enemy has been hiding really deeply. I would like to apologize to you all on behalf of the royal family for coming late and also express my gratefulness for your strength. Thank you for staying alive and holding on until we could find you.."

As he spoke with a sincere look on his face, some of the older women who had been trapped here the longest started to cry and wail loudly.

The secret soldiers, Chi Lian noticed started to vanish from the crowd of other soldiers. Pretty soon, they were gone as if they had never been there in the first place.

She was confident enough to put down her weapons now and listen to more of the grand emperor’s speech.

"Your resettlement into normal society is not going to be easy which is why we are going to designate a specific area for you all to live while you are being rehabilitated. If you want, your children will be staying with you but if you are not capable of taking care of the child we can find other alternatives. The empire sponsors many orphanages and the children can be well taken care of there."

"He really spouts shit from his mouth so expertly. None of the victims of the Qilin beast uprising made it back to society until they were old and not threatening." T4 laughed on the virtual screen, banging his paws against a table as if this was peak entertainment.

"Stop distracting me, I need to hear everything he says."

The grand emperor called a few soldiers forward and he said, "Now, trust must be established between us. I need you all to point out any of the aggressors, those who collaborated or participated and are pretending to be victims..."

"Him," an elderly woman pointed out an older man before the grand emperor even finished speaking.

The stunned man was carried away by soldiers immediately.

"And him," another woman pointed.

"Her, don’t forget this bitch that gave us up when we tried to escape."

"And this bastsrd, he burned me with an iron rod when I rejected his advances."

"This man, he was the one who whipped our children when they cried because of the harsh training forced on their bodies."

The grand emperor smiled and thought, "Yes, the best spy was one’s own neighbor."
