Chapter 551
Miguel gave Emperor Xueye a forced smile and said confidently, "Xueye, do you think I'm a fool? You know how much wealth the Heavenly Dou Grand Auction House generates for the Heavenly Dou Empire every year. Are you really going to hand over such a profitable place to your brother? Aren't you afraid he'll abuse his power for personal gain and use the embezzled money to plot a rebellion?"
Before Miguel could even reply, he continued, “Xue Ye, the awakening of your Martial Soul is a blessing bestowed upon mortals by the gods. If our Martial Soul Hall discovers that you dare to abuse this sacred grace for personal gain, don’t blame us for turning our backs on you!”
Upon hearing Miguel's words, Emperor Xueye's heart sank. What exactly was the situation with those beast-like humans? The lower-ranking nobles might not know, but how could the powerful nobles not know? However, the truth behind all this was rather shady; otherwise, how could Emperor Xueye have dared to evade responsibility in front of Miguel?
Just when Emperor Xueye thought things had gotten really bad, he heard Miguel bring down another heavy hammer: "Xueye, who do you think my brother Daglas looks like?"
Emperor Xueye had always felt a sense of familiarity with Daglas, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Just as Emperor Xueye was pondering where he had seen Daglas or his relatives before, he heard Miguel say in a low voice, "Do you remember that general who made great contributions to the Heaven Dou Empire, captured a city from the Star Luo Empire, but was then betrayed by you?"
Upon hearing Miguel's sinister words, Emperor Xueye was momentarily stunned. He truly hadn't expected that this other holy son, Daglas, who had always followed Miguel, would have such a connection with their Heavenly Dou Empire.
For a moment, Emperor Xueye's face turned pale, and he cursed the guards who had dealt with General Steve's family in his heart.
Emperor Xueye understood that he had no choice now; whether he lived or died depended almost entirely on Daglas's mood!
Although Emperor Xueye cherishes his life, he will not hesitate to sacrifice himself when the time comes. The only thing that worries Emperor Xueye now is whether his younger brother, Prince Xuexing, will still be as obedient as before if he perishes. Of course, there is also the possibility that Daglas has no intention of letting go of the Tiandou royal family. If that is the case, then he, Xueye, will become the eternal sinner of the Xue family of Tiandou!
Thinking of this, Xueye immediately knelt down and pleaded with Miguel and Daglas, "Please forgive me, Your Holiness, I am willing to pay with my life, please spare my child!"
Seeing Xue Ye kneeling and begging for mercy in such a sorry state, Miguel and Daglas felt extremely pleased. You see, their families were torn apart because of the war between the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. The reason why Miguel and Daglas did not send all their enemies to hell to atone for their sins when they had enough strength was simply because they looked down on those graves and withered bones and did not want to dirty their hands!
Miguel and Daglas could both see that although Emperor Xueye appeared to be healthy on the surface, his body had been gradually hollowed out by the incompatible food that Xue Qinghe had personally arranged.
If Miguel's estimate is correct, no matter how well Xueye takes care of herself, she will only have five years left to live. If something unexpected happens in the middle, she may die prematurely. Therefore, Bai Zhen and Daglas really don't need to bear the reputation of regicide for the sake of temporary revenge!
"Snowy Night, we don't ask for much, just three things. First, you need to announce to the outside world what happened back then in the name of the Heavenly Dou Emperor, clearing General Steve of the stigma. Second, those nobles who participated in framing General Steve must be exterminated, without exception. Third, you also participated in framing General Steve. Daglas and I both grew up in the Heavenly Dou Empire, and we don't want to commit regicide, but Uncle Steve's revenge cannot go unavenged. I remember you still have two princes. Choose one of them and use his life to appease Uncle Steve's spirit in heaven!"
