Arcane: I Built Mechs in Piltover

Li Lin transmigrated to Piltover on the continent of Valoran. He originally thought his life would pass by uneventfully, until he became an employee of the Kiramman family and discovered he possess...

Chapter 408: Innocence? Veritaserum is enough

"Your Majesty, please think again!" Wallis pleaded.

The king didn't want to pay attention to this peacemaker. He stared straight at Newman who was lying on the ground. "What's wrong with you?"

"My loyalty to Demacia is known to all!" Newman cried mournfully. "I swear to the Winged Protector Sisters!"

"Then use Veritaserum."

Jarvan III beckoned, and the servant quickly brought a small box containing a small mechanical syringe.

"Your Majesty!" Wallis was shocked. He had originally thought that the king just wanted to warn Newman, who had become much more presumptuous in recent years. "Are you really going to..."

Jarvan III snorted coldly, "If you have a clear conscience, what's the harm in injecting a dose of potion?"

Newman was already crying loudly at this time, and even his head was bleeding.

Clemens could no longer hold back and pleaded, "Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"

"Please think twice!" Camilla said immediately.

Only the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Borg, remained silent, no matter how much Wallis greeted him.

"It seems that I have indulged you for too long in the past, and you have forgotten who is in charge of Demacia?" Jarvan III shouted angrily, scaring several parliamentarians and ministers so much that they dared not speak anymore.

He had already decided that even if his title as a wise ruler was taken away today and he risked offending these great nobles, he had to inject the truth serum into Newman!

The king's eyes were filled with ice. "Minister Zakri, do you want to do it yourself, or do you want me to help you?"

"Since Your Majesty doesn't trust me, I would rather die than endure this humiliation!"

As he spoke, Newman suddenly pulled out a dagger from his lapel, causing an exclamation in the parliament hall.

According to Demacia regulations, except for the king, Xin Zhao and the guards on duty, no one else entering the parliament hall is allowed to carry weapons, including Grand Marshal Tiana.

Unexpectedly, Newman took advantage of his position and secretly carried a dagger into parliament.

If this guy has ulterior motives and wants to murder the king...

Tiana felt a chill in her heart.

However, even though she thought so in her heart, in reality she still had to act without hesitation when it came time to fulfill her duties.

She immediately stood up, trying to take Newman's dagger and subdue him.

However, Li Lin and Zhao Xin are faster.

One of them was wearing armor. One of them flashed to Newman's side and bent the dagger made of rune steel. The other one quickly crossed the round shield table and rushed to Newman in less than a second, grabbing his right wrist which was holding the dagger.

After a while, the guards outside the door rushed in immediately after hearing the noise. At Zhao Xin's signal, they ran over quickly and arrested the Minister of Law who seemed to be in despair without saying a word.

Jarvan III's face was as gloomy as ink. He had basically guessed that Newman was indeed related to the riots in Xiongdu and might be the mastermind behind it.

Otherwise, it was just a truth serum, why would he want to commit suicide and refuse to tell the truth?

It is obvious that he has something to hide, and he is even afraid of exposing his accomplices, so he dare not do this!

Jarvan III placed his left hand on the armrest of the throne, supported himself and stood up. With his other hand, he tightly grasped the syringe of truth serum and slowly walked to Newman.

Tiana followed closely beside him.

"It's easy to prove your innocence. Why go to such lengths?" The king's tone was emotionless as he thrust the needle into Newman's neck. "Veritaserum will be enough to prove it."
