Minister Yute hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wiped the dense beads of sweat on his forehead in a panic.
At this moment, he finally understood why His Majesty was so furious.
Then he handed the information to his men, straightened his clothes, and hurried towards the palace.
After breaking through the heavy guards of the palace, Intelligence Minister Yute finally entered the throne room.
At this time, Martin had asked the Shadow Hunter to fetch the list of maids and court knights who had entered the palace in the past month. He was flipping through the pages. After eliminating those with contracts, there were still 529 people left.
Just then, Intelligence Minister Yute stepped into the throne room.
Martin saw him and put the list in his hand down on the table.
"Ute, I remember when you pledged your allegiance to me, your fighting spirit touched my heart. But now it seems that fighting alone is far from enough."
When Yute heard His Majesty's words, he immediately knelt down and saluted, not daring to breathe.
He knew His Majesty's temper too well, but this time, he didn't understand the deeper meaning of Martin's words.
The throne room suddenly became quiet. Martin was waiting for Yute to give an explanation so that he could give him a lighter sentence.
However, Yute believed that he could atone for his sins, and that after His Majesty's anger subsided, he would naturally not punish him any further. If he argued at this moment, it would only make His Majesty even more angry.
But he never expected that the empire today is no longer the same as it used to be and no longer lacks talent.
After such a long period of development, Martin has bound almost all talented people in the Western Continent, whether they are from different races, through contracts or by training them in the Loyalty Academy, so the talent pool is quite sufficient.
Now that such a serious situation has occurred, he, as the Minister of Intelligence, is completely unaware of it. Does he have to wait until Martin White is poisoned to death before he realizes it?
A few minutes passed, and Martin was expecting Yute to give a reasonable explanation, but the other party remained silent.
Martin really couldn't understand why Yute had nothing to say about such a serious thing.
He immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation.
"Ute, from now on, you are relieved of your post as Minister of Intelligence. Hand over your work to the Deputy Minister of Intelligence immediately. Remember, this is my last tolerance for you." After saying that, Martin waved his hand, signaling Ute to leave.
When Yute heard the decision, he was completely stunned.
He never expected that His Majesty would directly dismiss him.
After all, he is a "veteran" figure who has followed His Majesty all the way.
Shocked, he instinctively wanted to open his mouth to explain, but when he raised his head and met Martin's eyes that seemed to devour him, the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back.
Then, Yute gritted his teeth, kowtowed several times to Martin, bowed deeply, and then slowly retreated.
Martin didn't care how Yute left, but immediately contacted the First Court Knight Commander stationed in the palace through spiritual contact.
He was ordered to secretly arrest the 529 people on the list, detain them and take them to the training ground, waiting for him to deal with them.
After receiving the order, the commander of the court knights immediately set about carrying out the task with great vigor and determination.
Immediately afterwards, Martin contacted the Deputy Minister of Intelligence in the same way, informing him that he would temporarily take over the position of Minister of the Intelligence Department, and said that the order would soon be issued to the Intelligence Department in the form of an imperial edict.
Finally, Martin emphasized: "Remember, your position is not irreplaceable."
After saying that, he cut off contact.
When the Deputy Minister of Intelligence received Martin's sudden order, he was stunned for a moment and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
It was not until his subordinates came to report on the matter that he seemed to wake up from his dream.
After briefly listening to the report, he asked his men to leave. At this moment, a bold idea emerged in his mind - to reform the intelligence department.
He knew very well that if he wanted to stay in this new position, he had to fight hard.
The most urgent task is to first sort out a complete set of regulations, then present them to Your Majesty for review and strive to obtain approval.
At this moment, in the palace, a secret arrest operation was quietly unfolding.
What surprised the Knight Commander was that three people resisted during the arrest, and another four people committed suicide by taking poison.
This sudden change made him vaguely guess the seriousness of the matter.
Realizing the difficulty of the situation, he made a prompt decision and decided to lead the team himself to capture the other people on the list.
An hour later, all 529 people scattered throughout the palace were escorted to the training ground.
Soon, a clear sound of footsteps came from far away.
The Knight Commander respectfully led Martin to the training ground.
Before coming, the Knight Commander had reported the situation in detail: a total of nine people resisted, four of whom were killed, five were captured, and thirteen committed suicide by taking poison.
Martin walked into the training ground with a gloomy face and no expression. Then, he used the panel to check the loyalty of these people one by one.
The results showed that their loyalty was generally below 30, and many were even negative.
Martin did a little screening and picked out those whose loyalty level was above fifty.
At this moment, seven or eight dragon knights appeared above the training ground like ghosts.
They rode the giant dragon, slowly descended, and then saluted Martin in unison.
Martin nodded slightly and then instructed Betan: "Betan, you take the dragon knights to the training ground and make sure the more than 400 people present honestly explain their past."
Martin looked at Betan seriously and emphasized, "Don't let me down. I want an accurate and detailed report."
Betan said solemnly and firmly that he understood. Then Martin turned and left.
He planned to take advantage of this time to take Xingchen to the Great Secret Realm.
The Great Secret Realm is relatively safe, and he wants Xingchen to live there, familiarize herself with the environment, and not restrict her freedom.
After all, Xingchen himself possesses the strength of a mid-level god and is capable enough to take care of himself.
Then, they went to the Palace of Stars.
