Chapter 166 "Cesare, our fire will burn the whole world" (asking for monthly tickets)
"Now," said Cesar, "tell me... who sent you?"
As he spoke, his face turned cold, and he took a step forward in silence. The tip of the knife touched the assassin's throat, drawing a blood line. The assassin trembled all over, and blood-red liquid flowed down the blade.
"It's Her Majesty the Queen!" the assassin screamed, "It's the Queen!"
Xizel's pupils suddenly contracted, the hand holding the knife stagnated slightly, and he muttered stupidly:
"Mother...Queen?"
Yagubaru tilted his head and was slightly stunned, his tail even stopped lifting. What was going on in his mind? It turned out that not only were the brothers friendly and respectful to each other, but the mother was also loving and the son was filial?
"You lied to me..." Xizel frowned.
"I didn't lie to you!"
"I hate seeing others bleed, I really... really hate it," Xizel growled hoarsely, his tone becoming more and more aggravated with each word, "so please don't force me!"
Even as he said this, César's knife did not stop, and the blood line on the assassin's throat became clearer and clearer.
The assassin screamed in a trembling voice, his voice full of fear: "I really didn't lie to you! It was the queen, the queen who sent us!"
Xizel was completely frozen in place, slowly loosening the dagger in his hand, stunned for a moment, and then, while muttering "No, you lied to me", he staggered back like a puppet with its strings cut.
He slowly stopped until his back was against the bookshelf with no way to retreat.
A photo album in the corner flipped and fell down, revealing a page that showed three princes hunting on the sea with the king and queen.
It was a sunny day with a strong sea breeze.
On the open deck, Cesare stood between Lorenzo and Cosimo, his eyes closed, his blue eyes covered by white eyelids.
He tried to open his eyes and face the camera, but he couldn't. Lorenzo and Cosimo put their hands on his shoulders, and the brothers looked down at him with smiles on their faces.
Kaliliana stood behind them with a kind smile on her face.
César leaned against the bookshelf and slowly slid down to the ground. He knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and stared at the floor with empty eyes.
"I see... The queen is also on the side of your two brothers, so she doesn't want to see you inherit the throne." Yagubaru suddenly realized, "I was wondering why your two brothers are so reckless. After all, the king is in a coma, and now the most powerful person in the whole box garden is your mother."
It thought: So why did the Queen arrange for Cesare to leave here?
Could it be that... she wanted to take advantage of the moment when Xizel left the whale box to quietly wipe him out in the outside world?
Cesar was silent.
"Now that the answer has been given," Yagubaru asked, "Should we kill him?"
"Yagubaru...eat him." Xizel was silent for a moment and then spoke.
"Sharks don't eat people."
Listening to the conversation between the man and the shark, the assassin was startled at first, then he roared:
"You said you would let me go!"
"When did I say that?" Xizel raised his head slowly, "I just want you to die later, don't push your luck."
He paused, then looked at Yagubaru with a cold expression:
"Eat him."
Yagubaru sighed, and then opened his mouth exaggeratedly like a cartoon character, ready to swallow the assassin in. The shark's shadow suddenly expanded at this moment, covering all the moonlight and almost completely covering the assassin.
The assassin screamed in panic and held his head tightly.
But the next second, Yagubaru suddenly retracted his mouth and said, "Good brother, shake out all the cards in your oddities. Maybe when I am full of the fragments, I won't eat you anymore."
"Really?" the assassin asked in surprise, foam coming out of the corners of his mouth, and he was completely frightened.
"Really? Shark never lies." Yagubaru nodded.
The assassin summoned the atlas of strange stories and dropped the only fragments of strange stories he had on the ground.
Yagubaru immediately leaned forward with his head, opened his mouth, caught the five pieces of debris, and swallowed them into his throat with a "gulp".
[Has swallowed 5 "general-level" oddity fragments, triggering the effect of the exclusive training system "Oddity Taotie", your real body size increases by 2.5 meters. ]
[Unit 3 - Eternal Shark "Akubaru" changes in size: 122m → 124.5m. 】
"Anything else?"
Yagubaru licked his fangs, his eyes shining.
"And... of course, send you, monster, to hell!" the assassin shouted, and suddenly revealed a crazy laugh.
He suddenly pulled out a card with a silver light pattern from the last page of the catalog, crushed it, and instantly flames appeared, and a fireball, accompanied by a howling wind, shot towards Yagubaru.
It opened its mouth and swallowed the fireball into its throat with a roar.
"Fireball, delicious." It burped, "but I want the pieces."
"monster……"
The assassin was completely desperate, and his eyes completely lost all color.
He surrendered, slowly picked up the dagger that César had just dropped on the ground, hesitated for a moment, turned the blade around and stabbed it towards his throat, ending his life.
"So lame..." Yagubaru curled his lips, "Do you still want me to eat him, Xizel?"
As he spoke, Shark turned his head and looked at the white-haired boy sitting in front of the bookshelf.
Cesar did not answer.
Yagubaru sniffed: "Then I'll clean up these corpses first... They smell terrible. I'll mop the floor for you, too. Actually, I'm a germaphobe."
It controlled the dark water flow, lifted up the bodies in the dormitory, and threw them into the sea from the edge of the roof.
Then the black water began to wash over the bedroom, first wiping away the blood on the walls and floor, then draining the moisture from the bed curtains.
The air in the dormitory suddenly became fresh again. Yagubaru wagged his tail with satisfaction, thinking that he would be very popular if he applied for the position of housekeeper.
Seeing that César remained silent and just held the crystal ball quietly, Yagubaru shrank his body to the size of a palm.
It turned back into the harmless Norwegian shark. With the dark water flowing, its round body fell into the crystal ball, and then it controlled the water flow to cover the lid.
The little shark drank two mouthfuls of sea water and stared silently at the figure in the bedroom.
Sobbing sounds could be heard faintly from the darkness. Cesar knelt on the ground, his nose wrinkled and his eyes red.
He hugged the crystal ball tightly, just like hugging the last warmth. This was a gift from his father, given to him by the last person who cared about him in the box world.
The little shark raised its head and looked at him with pity in its crystal eyes.
It thought to itself that he was just a little brat after all. No matter how strong he tried to be or how hard he tried to put on a stern face and pretend to be cool, he was still a little brat.
Even if you mutter "I have turned evil" a thousand times, imitate those powerful characters in cartoons, make yourself as arrogant as possible, and act as if you are lawless, you may be brought back to your original state by the cruel reality the next day.
Even adults can eventually become overwhelmed... let alone a twelve-year-old boy.
Deathly silence enveloped the bedroom. The lonely moonlight poured in through the windowsill, illuminating the empty blue eyes of the white-haired boy.
After a moment, he spoke to break the silence.
"Why...why do my brother and even my mother want to kill me?"
"Well, maybe you are not my biological child?" Yagubaru thought for a moment, "This is the only reason I can think of. As for the king... it's not surprising for him to have an affair outside."
Xizel was slightly startled.
He suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he could always vaguely feel his mother looking at him with disgust, but every time he turned around, Kaliliana had a kind smile on her face.
"It's possible that the person who poisoned the king was not your brother, but your mother," Yagubaru said. "She is the closest person to the king. This also explains why she didn't send anyone to protect you."
It paused and said, "We must be careful with the new butler as well. He may not be sent by the king."
César suddenly laughed softly, with a faint cry in his voice, like a puppy whose spine had been pulled out.
He asked: "Yagubaru, what did I do wrong... Should I have never been born in the first place?"
"You didn't do anything wrong... you just had bad luck."
Yagubaru shook his tail and continued, "By the way, the reason they didn't kill the king is that they thought that as long as you die, the throne will be theirs...so, the old king can still be alive."
It lowered its voice: "But if they find that they cannot kill you secretly, they will turn to the king."
"As long as I die, will my father be fine?" Xizel asked in a deep voice.
"No, your father loves you so much. Sooner or later, when he wakes up, he will know what the people around him have done... Then he will still have to die, as long as the Black Death has not been completely cured... Even if he doesn't die, he will only become a puppet of your mother and brother."
"I see. Even my father was implicated because of me."
"We have no way out, César," Yagubaru said. "The king is doomed to die. You can't save him... and those bad guys will definitely attack you. August 1st is their deadline."
It thought for a moment and said, "Your mother pretended to take you away from the box garden, but in fact she wanted to kill you in a place where no one could see... The king is unconscious, so the royal court team will naturally only obey the queen's orders. Even the royal court team is our enemy."
Xizel lowered his eyes and said hoarsely and tiredly: "Yagubaru, tell me... why... why does the whole world treat me like this?"
Yagubaru was silent for a moment, and his voice gradually turned cold: "Xizel, come with me...to eat up this twisted country."
He lowered his voice: "You are not alone... If the whole world is your enemy, then we will burn the whole world together."
"But... there are only two of us, how can we resist them?" Xizel asked, "You said that the Royal Court Team is also on the side of the Queen Mother."
"No, there are more than two of us. I have some friends, their name is 'White Crow Brigade'."
At this point, the little shark grinned fiercely, revealing his fangs. "My friends are best at destruction and plunder. If it were them, they would be happy to help you mess up the world."
"When will they come?"
"On August 1st, the day when the legendary whale lands, the White Crow Brigade will arrive as scheduled. The queen thought you fell into her trap, but in fact, this gives us an opportunity."
After a long silence, Xizel spoke:
"I believe you, Yagubaru. Since my father's death is inevitable and everyone around me has abandoned me, I have nothing to cling to here anymore."
"That's great. I thought you would reject me."
Xizel lowered his eyes and looked at the little shark in the crystal ball: "You are the only one I can trust. Will you lie to me?"
"I promise you," Yagubaru said word by word, "as long as you don't betray me, I will never betray you."
Under the moonlight, Xizel slowly raised his head. Tears rolled down his eyes, his pupils were filled with resentment, and his expression was ferocious. "Okay, then I promise you... Let's burn this world clean together."
