Chapter 41 How dare you escape! ....O(￣皿￣)乂(……
Lin Zhi only felt that at this moment, someone seemed to have gently taken something away from his shoulder.
It is as light as a feather, but its weight is heavier than Mount Tai.
Lin Zhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he was about to say something when he saw the black shadow looking down at the terminal. "Hey, the boss asked me if His Majesty is here..."
Lu Yuan is back?
Lin Zhi froze. "Didn't he go to the research institute?"
The shadow said, "Looks like he's getting ready to rush back... Ah, he's almost at the courthouse!"
Before the shadow finished speaking, Lin Zhi turned and left.
"See you later. I have official business to attend to, so I'll go first."
“Eh…”
Lin Zhi strode out of the compartment, and almost at this moment, he heard the sound of an aircraft.
……hateful.
Lin Zhi turned around and went straight to the back door of the court. He sent a message to Adolf, asking him to drive the aircraft to the backyard to pick him up.
"Captain Lu is here!"
After Lin Zhi rushed from the hall into the corridor leading to the back door, he heard someone exclaiming not far away, and seemed to be greeting Lu Yuan.
"Your Majesty..."
"he……"
The sound gradually faded away, Lin Zhi rushed to the back door, and the aircraft just landed.
The sound of the aircraft would probably attract Lu Yuan and expose his whereabouts, so Lin Zhi did not delay and quickened his pace.
"Lin Zhi!"
Lu Yuan came to the corridor, and Lin Zhi hurriedly opened the hatch with shaking hands.
Bang--
Almost at the moment when Lu Yuan rushed up, Lin Zhi closed the hatch.
Caught up...
Lin Zhi could see Lu Yuan, who was panting and had a ferocious look on his face, through the light-transmitting window.
If I don't catch up, seeing that Lu Yuan is almost ready to overturn the imperial city, I'm afraid he will fight with me on the spot.
He didn't want to fight with Lu Yuan. He had just completed the formal marking and was still a little weak.
Even if it was Enigma, Lu Yuan wouldn't really smash his door with his bare hands...
Lin Zhi saw Lu Yuan seemed to say something to him through the glass of the aircraft, but just like Lu Yuan couldn't hear what he said last time, he couldn't hear Lu Yuan now either.
Lin Zhi paused, and with a "swish", he decisively pulled the curtains shut, covering everything outside the window.
Lu Yuan: “…”
Lu Yuan stared at Lin Zhi's aircraft. The door in front of him was closed only to him, and even his sight was blocked by a curtain.
Lin Zhi was so stingy that he refused to even let him take another look.
Are you unwilling... or are you afraid?
Lu Yuan was like a hyena that had lost its prey, his eyes were dim and bloodshot, and his chest was heaving violently.
Lin Zhi dared to escape!
He provoked me countless times, and after using it, he just ran away.
The aircraft slowly rose and finally left.
Lu Yuan didn't break down Lin Zhi's door, but...
Bang--!
After the black shadow caught up, Lu Yuan punched the pillar beside him, and the pillar was directly punched into a hole by the power burst of Enigma.
Lu Yuan was panting, and veins on his arms were bulging.
The shadow's eyes widened, "Boss..."
Lu Yuan turned to look at him.
His eyes were bloodshot and filled with anger, but he was still lucid.
The shadow breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought you were out of control..."
Lu Yuan sneered.
He also thought he would lose control. He almost did just now...
Lu Yuan rarely lost control before, but the repeated marking brought him intense mania and possessiveness, which Lu Yuan could have transformed into violent fists in the fighting arena.
But since meeting Lin Zhi, everything has changed.
After the official marking, Enigma possessed Omega, the person he loved and the person he was originally going to confess to.
Possessiveness reaches its extreme and evolves into pure desire.
Just now, his mind was full of images of how to catch the aircraft. Even if his flesh and blood were blurred and his bones were broken, he would try his best to smash open the door, tear apart the curtain that dared to block his view of Lin Zhi, and hold the person tightly in his arms.
Lu Yuan knew that something seemed to be wrong with him. If he broke down Lin Zhi's door, he might really lose control. If he continued, he would hurt Lin Zhi, just like last time on the desolate planet.
And in these pictures... Lin Zhi's look is one of resistance and disgust.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing.
It doesn't matter.
Don't worry, don't worry, you will see it eventually...
As long as the upper and lower cities still cooperate, he can see Lin Zhi. As long as Lin Zhi is still the emperor, he can't hide forever.
As long as Lin Zhi was marked by him, as long as the mark was still there, he could hear and smell it.
As long as he is still alive... we will definitely be able to catch this person again.
…
…
A few days later, this horrific case finally went to trial.
The trial was broadcast live across the league, with five judges and the court's entire jury pool mobilized at once.
Noel was pushed into the court in a wheelchair, his hands and feet in plaster. Even after so much time had passed, he still looked very bad, with bandages on his face and body.
The count pushed him to sit in the dock, with Lin Zhi and the marshal opposite them.
In the first row of the audience seats at the back, Lu Yuan's gaze was fixed on Lin Zhi.
"This case was filed by Alliance Emperor Lin Zhi and Alliance Marshal Graeme King against the Duke of Delan's family, the Earl of Amy's family, and 46 other individuals involved in the case for 68 murders and 11 corruption cases."
With the judge's announcement, the trial officially began.
Lin Zhi's agent and lawyer stood up and spoke, carefully stating each charge against the other side.
In the previous lawsuit, only a brief summary was given, but now every detail was explained, which made people feel even more disgusted.
The witnesses' testimonies were also read out, every word full of blood and tears.
Noel's lawyer stood up to argue, questioning the authenticity of the evidence and presenting an investigation into these "witnesses".
"They came from the Lower Town. We can't confirm whether this is a conspiracy against us by the Lower Town."
Lin Zhi's lawyer frowned. "Except for Zhong Xiaowen, most of our witnesses have birth certificates with black ink on white, and their household registration is in Shangcheng District."
The other lawyer laughed and said, "You mean to say that everyone's birth certificate is genuine and not forged?"
"nature."
Lin Zhi frowned slightly.
He knew exactly what the other party was going to play.
But this is a trump card that can turn the tables, so the opponent is not in a hurry to use it.
Lin Zhi thought to himself, if they proved his fake identity, they would be able to make up a hundred excuses.
The trial was still going on. There was too much evidence of guilt. After four hours, both parties finally managed to hand over all the documents. By this time, morning had turned into noon, and the trial had a short break and buffer.
Adolf, who was standing behind Lin Zhi, asked, "Your Majesty, would you like to eat something or take a nap?"
Lin Zhi sat in his original position without moving.
——Lu Yuan is still behind.
Lin Zhi shook his head slightly.
Bang--
“Let us in!”
"Yes, yes, why can't we go in?!"
Just then, there was a commotion and noise outside the door.
Lin Zhi frowned slightly.
It was the uninvited reporters and some... rioting people.
Just like that day.
"Your Majesty's identity is fake!"
"Why doesn't Your Majesty respond to the Duke's questions?"
"His Majesty--"
Lin Zhi wasn't sure whether these people were bribed by the powerful to cause trouble, or whether they were really dissatisfied with him. He rubbed his temples.
It seems that the Duke and his men did not produce evidence to prove his identity at the beginning, and wanted to take action when the atmosphere was at its hottest.
The court security and Lin Zhi's private soldiers immediately went up to stop them.
Lin Zhi saw Lu Yuan also stand up and walk up to those people.
Lin Zhi paused.
What would his nemesis, who hated him, do now?
"...Get out." Lu Yuan's face was as cold as frost.
Lin Zhi was stunned.
The tall man stood in front of these people, his aura as low and terrifying as that of Shura. "If you cause trouble again, I will tear you apart."
Enigma's tone didn't need to be too intense; just standing there was enough to intimidate.
Everyone below fell silent subconsciously.
Lin Zhi shook his head and smiled.
It's a bit unexpected.
Is it to ensure the smooth progress of the trial?
Lin Zhi walked to the gate.
"Your Majesty..." Adolf paused, "It's dangerous here, please go back first..."
Lin Zhi looked at the cameras that were eager to point them at his face and the crowd in front of him. There was greed for information on their faces. Even the professional reporters in the court couldn't help but turn the camera to focus on him. Then he looked at the dignitaries sitting in the dock. They were like the devil incarnate of greed, staring at him straight in the eyes.
At this moment, the entire league was looking at him, both in person and online, as if he were some living fossil that had not been seen for thousands of years.
Lin Zhi suddenly chuckled.
"That's right, I'll take this opportunity to tell you all at once."
Lin Zhi's tone was still that of an elegant and noble Majesty, but his words were like a bolt from the blue.
"It is indeed as the Duke said. I was born in the Lower City and am also an Omega."
The whole place was in uproar, with a commotion and whispers all around. The people outside were even more excited, pushing and shoving and shouting, "Your Majesty has deceived us—!"
"The Alliance's Majesty is a pariah Omega from the Lower City in disguise!"
"Your Majesty has disregarded the law and fabricated my origin and gender—!"
Lu Yuan stared at Lin Zhi with wide eyes.
How could he...
Lu Yuan subconsciously stood behind Lin Zhi, his movements faster than Adolf, guarding behind Lin Zhi, as if he was on guard against the rioters or the reporters outside the door from moving forward at any time.
In fact, His Majesty's skills are not weak. Not to mention these ordinary people in front of him, even if space pirates come, it would be no big deal.
No matter how exquisite and beautiful His Majesty looks, he cannot hide the murderous aura in him. However, Lu Yuan is very cautious as if the person in front of him is a fragile item.
The people below saw the vicious dog behind His Majesty, which looked like it would bite people at any time.
But His Majesty's words were so shocking that the reporter risked his life to hand over the microphone: "Your Majesty, why have you concealed your identity and gender until now, ashamed to reveal them? Is it for the throne?"
"I haven't concealed the fact that I am indeed the descendant of my father, the Emperor, and my mother, Ms. Keira, was born in the Lower City. I have the blood of both the Upper City and the Lower City flowing in my body."
When Lin Zhi said this, his tone was neither happy nor sad, but rather peaceful, and he didn't seem to feel sad about his life experience.
"Why should I be ashamed of being born in the Lower City? All Alliance members share the same roots, we just live in different places. I am grateful to the Lower City and my mother for raising me, and I am also grateful to the people of the Upper City and the Alliance Army for their trust in me. This is everything that made me who I am."
"And there's nothing shameful about being an Omega. The Omegas of the Alliance have always been excellent, as I'm sure you've all experienced."
"As for why I didn't tell everyone the truth, it all depends on the De Lan family."
Lin Zhi turned to look at Noel, "This involves another murder case in the Delan family. My agent will tell everyone the details this afternoon."
In order to conceal his identity, the Duke killed everyone on an entire street in the downtown area. They had no intention of making this case public. The shadow's testimony only vaguely proved that the Duke was indeed hunting down Susie and others.
but……
Those people deserve justice too.
Adolf and others looked at Lin Zhi in disbelief.
They didn't know that Lin Zhi was planning to reveal his identity and had even prepared information from an old case...
"But no matter what, I am still hiding something." Lin Zhi lowered his eyes. "I voluntarily give up the throne and will enter the voting phase with the other candidates. The details have been drafted, and I will transfer all litigation rights to the Marshal."
The whole audience was in an uproar again.
Oh my god…
Is Your Majesty crazy?!
He actually... voluntarily gave up the throne?
Lin Zhi smiled and concluded, "If I lose the throne today, I hope everyone will remember that the fault isn't my identity or gender, but my lack of strength. I can't convince everyone that I can be a good king."
Adolf was stunned. He knew best how much effort His Majesty had put in for the throne. How could he give up just like that now?
——Because his goal has been achieved.
Lu Yuan stared at Lin Zhi blankly, and suddenly understood this old enemy whom he had been unable to see through for more than ten years.
The reason why Lin Zhi attaches so much importance to the throne is because of today's trial. In order to bring down the powerful, the throne is just a means for him to use.
Therefore, now that his goal has been achieved, he naturally cannot allow this identity to hinder or cause trouble.
Lin Zhi anticipated that Noel would produce evidence sooner or later, so he made preparations early on and removed everyone around him from the deception, leaving no one behind.
Finally, he removed himself from the case and became the defendant from a plaintiff.
Lu Yuan's eyes moved slightly.
His old enemy hasn't changed, he still likes to... go his own way and do things his own way.
Lin Zhi in front of him was half outside the door and half inside. The midday sun was so bright that Lu Yuan couldn't help but close his eyes.
At this moment, Lin Zhi seemed to have finally completed a task and unloaded a heavy burden. He seemed to be disappearing in the sunlight and could not be caught anymore.
Lu Yuan felt empty inside.
——Not allowed.
