Chapter 1192: Let Bygones Be Bygones and Number 0

"You actually..."

"Father."

Before the heroic middle-aged man could ask, Prince Andre called out, then stepped onto the high platform, snatched the clock-hand scepter he was holding, and then turned to walk towards the seat belonging to the Wang Hou.

"Bold!"

Seeing that the clock-hand scepter representing the King's identity was snatched away, not only did the heroic middle-aged man widen his eyes, but the people in the main hall were in an uproar, scolding with anger in their eyes.

"Stop! Do you know what you are doing?"

"Madman! That thing is not something you are qualified to touch!"

"Put down the scepter!"

"Guards! Where are the guards? Come in and catch him!"

What a trouble...

Annoyed by the shouting in the main hall, Prince Andre subconsciously wanted to make them shut up immediately.

Unfortunately, Feliya was captured, which led to Atifi 01 not following him this time, and he no longer had the ability to forcibly shut these guys up. Prince Andre had to sigh, walked to the Wang Hou with the clock-hand scepter, and reached out his other empty hand to her.

"Mother, can you give me the minute-hand scepter?"

Looking at the palm handed to her, the Wang Hou on the seat was stunned, then said in confusion:

"Who are you? Why do you look so much like my Andre?"

"I am Andre, Mother."

Treating the Wang Hou seemed to be more patient than the King. Amidst the noisy scolding of the people in the main hall, Prince Andre explained patiently:

"Just treat me as coming from more than ten years later. I need to use your scepter to do something now. Can you give it to me?"

"This... I'm afraid that's not good, right?"

After hesitating slightly, the Wang Hou, who looked quite young and didn't seem much older than Andre, shook her head while clutching the scepter:

"The minute-hand scepter is a very important thing and cannot be given to people casually. Even if you are really my Andre, there must be a reasonable reason. Also, how can you treat your father like this? Return the scepter to him quickly, otherwise, he will..."

*Sigh*... What a trouble. If I had known, I wouldn't have put the scepter here and just thrown it upstairs.

After sighing helplessly again, Andre ignored the Wang Hou's words, walked to the back of the heroic middle-aged man's seat, fumbled for a while, found a clock with strange scales, and turned all the hands to the end.

"*Click. *"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the mechanism being pushed by the spring and successfully falling into place, the noisy main hall suddenly became quiet.

When Andre left the back of the seat and appeared in front of the heroic middle-aged man again, the King, whose clothes were as old as ever but whose face was ten years older, showed a relaxed expression on his face.

"Andre, so you are here."

After smiling at Andre, the King, who looked old, smiled and said:

"Today is the day of your succession. As long as you take the clock-hand scepter from my hand, you will be the next King of the Kroke Kingdom. Come on, let me... eh? Why is my scepter..."

"Thank you, Father, I'll take it."

After responding expressionlessly, Prince Andre walked quickly back to the Wang Hou's seat and, while she hadn't reacted, snatched the minute-hand scepter. Then he carried the two scepters down the high platform and walked towards the metal spiral staircase on one side of the main hall.

Seeming to be stunned by the drama of "Prince snatching the scepter," the people in the seats in the main hall looked at Prince Andre's back in surprise. No one dared to speak. In the end, the old King slapped the armrest and said angrily:

"Stop! Andre! What do you want to do?"

"..."

"Andre! Are you rebelling against me?"

"..."

"Speak! What do you want to do with my scepter?" "..."

However, no matter how the old King questioned, Prince Andre remained silent. He carried the two scepters up the spiral staircase and walked quickly towards the top, ignoring everything, until...

"You are going to see your so-called sister again? The real Feliya is already dead! She is now part of Atifi! Wake up!"

"..."

Seeming to trigger some key words, after hearing the old King's roar, Prince Andre's footsteps stopped abruptly. Then he turned his head and glared at the old King, as if he had full of resentment to spit out.

But seeing that no matter how angry the old King was, he couldn't really get up and could only roar at him while sitting on the throne, he couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and then withdrew his gaze, stepping on the metal spiral staircase and leaving the main hall.

However, even though he had left the main hall, the old King's angry roar still came from below from time to time.

"Andre!"

"Beast! Come back!"

"You... come back! As my last son! As long as you come back, I can choose to let bygones be bygones..."

It's already like this, what's the point of letting bygones be bygones?

After shaking his head slightly, the metal spiral staircase under Prince Andre's feet rose slowly, taking him all the way to the top floor of the palace, to a giant clock face three meters high where only the second hand was jumping constantly.

After taking out his pocket watch to check the time, Prince Andre picked up the scepters he had snatched from the King and Wang Hou, put them on the exposed axis in the center of the clock face, and buckled them to the position corresponding to the current time.

"*Click. *"

A crisp mechanical sound rang out. As the two scepters touched the clock face, the three-meter-high giant clock moved backward, then rolled away to the right clockwise, revealing the secret room hidden behind it.

"Andre brother?"

Before Prince Andre walked into the room, the voice coming from inside made him tremble.

Sadness, surprise, pain, disbelief... The weak calling voice, with the same tone as a certain Princess Feliya, suddenly rang out in the pitch-black secret room.

"Are you here to turn me off this time?"

"..."

"Don't imitate her voice!"

After a few seconds of silence, Prince Andre said with disgust:

"Atifi, I warn you one last time, if you really don't want to be turned off, then don't play this set with me again!"

"Okay."

Hearing Prince Andre's warning, the voice in the secret room chuckled, then changed into a familiar female voice, gently:

"How about the Wang Hou's voice? Among all the voices I have used, her voice makes you the most relaxed. At this time, your patience is also the best, and it is easy to make concessions to me."

"Suit yourself."

Seeming too lazy to argue with "Atifi" because of this problem, Prince Andre hummed, then said unkindly:

"Take out your core, I'm going to take it to the 1st Research Zone!"

"Oh? Why?"

The voice in the room asked curiously:

"Although Atifi 01 was created by me, the maximum computing power I, this imperfect trial product 0, can control is not much, less than one-twelfth of 01. Since there is already a 01 that is easier to use than me, why do you still want to risk enabling me?"

"Because Feliya was kidnapped and her whereabouts are unknown for the time being, but I have something I need her to do."

Seeming to have no good impression of this "Atifi" who used his mother's voice, Prince Andre said expressionlessly:

"So I want to re-enable you, mobilize the computing power of Atifi 01, temporarily dominate the entire Kroke Kingdom, and find Feliya as soon as possible. If you really can't find her, then make another 01 for me!"
