Chapter 131: I want to be the Emperor, is that okay? ()

"You don't know?"

Looking at Esdeath, who didn't seem to be joking, Honest's eye twitched.

"You brought the person, why don't you know what's going on?"

"Because we separated halfway."

Esdeath replied: "Lin Que said he had something to take care of and would meet up at the Imperial Palace later."

Don't talk about the Imperial Palace like it's your own home!

Feeling his blood pressure rising, Honest took a deep breath and finally looked at Lin Que.

"You want to ask me why I brought traitors here?"

"...... That's right."

After a slight pause, Honest, having been preempted, spoke up.

"Since it's someone introduced by General Esdeath, I naturally trust them."

"But no matter what, among the people behind you, two of them have betrayed the Empire."

"If you don't explain it clearly, His Majesty won't be able to answer to others."

"That's right."

Hearing Honest's prompt, the Little Emperor quickly spoke up.

"This person is called Lin Que, right? Can you give me a reason? Why are you together with these two?"

Lin Que thought for a moment: "As for a reason... does it count if I say they are my newly acquired subordinates?"

The Little Emperor was stunned: "This......"

"I know this is hard for you to accept."

Lin Que spread his hands: "But Your Majesty can rest assured, I guarantee they will never betray again."

"For my sake, how about you ignore this matter for now?"

"Absurd!"

Before the Little Emperor could reply, a thunderous roar suddenly rang out.

Under everyone's gaze, a tall figure flickering with electric arcs stepped out from behind the Little Emperor—it was none other than Great General Budo, one of the two pillars of the Empire.

"Those who betray the Empire must be severely punished, no matter what!"

"Hand them over! Otherwise......"

Before Budo could finish his sentence, a palm suddenly appeared above his head and pressed down violently.

Boom—!

"To be honest, I hate people who don't know how to read the room."

Grabbing Budo by the hair, Lin Que lifted him up and shook him casually.

"I was in quite a good mood, thinking about playing house with you all for a while."

"Just because of your interruption, my mood has suddenly plummeted."

Great General Budo opened his mouth: "You......"

"Forget it, let's just get straight to it."

Pfft~!

A pillar of bright red blood sprayed from his neck, and Great General Budo's body collapsed heavily to the ground.

Discarding Budo's head, Lin Que looked at the Prime Minister above and Syura behind him.

The moment he killed Great General Budo, Syura had already pulled out Shambhala from his robes.

A Bagua-patterned teleportation array appeared beneath their feet, blooming with dazzling light.

But before the teleportation could activate, the Bagua teleportation array suddenly vanished. The Prime Minister, who had already shown an expression of surviving a disaster, stood there stunned in astonishment.

"What are you doing!"

After reacting, he instantly grabbed Syura by the collar.

"Do you want to die! Teleport us away, quickly!"

"Don't make things difficult for him."

Standing behind Honest, Lin Que replied while examining Shambhala in his hand.

"Without the Teigu, even if he sacrificed himself to the heavens, he wouldn't be able to teleport you away."

Honest: "......"

Reminded by Lin Que, Honest finally noticed that the Teigu in Syura's hand had appeared in Lin Que's hand at some unknown point.

Cold sweat slid down his forehead, and an unprecedented sense of fear surged into his heart.

It's over, there's no running away.

"No running away?"

Lin Que raised an eyebrow: "Prime Minister Honest, were you and your son Syura planning to go out for a run?"

"No."

Honest, surprised that Lin Que could know what he was thinking, quickly spoke up.

"What I actually meant was......"

"Well, well~ no need to explain, I understand everything." ===== CHAPTER 133 =====
