Chapter 748 Taking Direct Action, Patriarch! [1st Update]
“Mr. Mo Qian is very conscientious.” Upon hearing this, the steward spoke up, “Her Majesty the Queen is dedicated to protecting the City of the World and has taken time out of her busy schedule to see you. You must not say anything nonsense.”
Mo Qian nodded again.
The birth of a golden-blooded individual in the City of the World is an extremely significant event.
Mo Qian followed the manager and took the elevator to the top floor.
Because it was his first time there, he was a little awkward.
This top-floor hall is so magnificent that even the Lengel family cannot compare.
"Her Majesty the Queen is behind this door," the steward whispered. "Once you go in, remember to bow. If Her Majesty doesn't tell you to raise your head, you absolutely must not!"
Mo Qian glanced at the ancient and elegant door.
Above the door is the number "III" and an image of a woman wearing a crown.
Mo Qian knew that the pattern was not actually of Sarah Victoria, but merely a symbol.
Similarly, the fourth card of the Tarot deck also features such numbers and symbols.
Mo Qian glanced cautiously at the first door again; it had the number "0" on it.
This represents the wise and the foolish.
The very beginning.
After carefully memorizing the manager's instructions, he was about to knock on the door and go in.
But suddenly, a chill swept over him, and Mo Qian shivered.
He instinctively turned his head and saw an extremely handsome face.
The man had a striking head of short, silver hair.
The steward was startled and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Lord Chariot."
Norton glanced at it indifferently.
Mo Qian was so shocked that he immediately knelt down: "Mo Qian Leunger greets Lord Chariot."
Apart from the five sages—the Sage Queen, the Pope, the Magician, the Judge, and the Hermit—the other sages are all unfamiliar to the residents of the World City.
Even Mo Qian, a direct descendant of the Leinger family, had only heard of the titles of other sages in books, such as Chariot, Wheel of Fortune, Lovers, Hanged Man, Sun, Moon and Star.
Just as recorded.
Wise people have long lifespans and eternal youth.
The opponent's aura was so overwhelming that Mo Qian couldn't even lift his head.
His body trembled, fearing that any action he might take would displease Lord Chariot.
Norton finally spoke: "The Lengel family?"
"Yes, yes." Mo Qian was sweating profusely. "I have something important to report to Her Majesty the Queen."
Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly lifted into the air.
Mo Qian's expression turned somewhat frightened: "Lord Chariot?"
Norton grabbed him by the collar with one hand and smiled: "Why only report to Sharo? Are you looking down on me?"
"No, no, no!" Mo Qian panicked completely. His body trembled even more violently, and he could barely speak. "Lord War Chariot, I... I just didn't know you were here. Usually, Her Majesty the Empress handles all the affairs, big and small."
“Yes, I understand.” Norton still smiled. “So you still can’t see me.”
"No! Lord Chariot!" Mo Qian was terrified. "I'll tell you right now, the new member of our clan—"
He couldn't finish his sentence this time either, his head suddenly tilted to the side.
Norton released his grip, and Mo Qian slid to the ground, lifeless.
He took out a tissue and casually wiped his hands.
The butler trembled and refused to get up from his knees.
Such a commotion actually alerted the people inside the door.
Shaluo came out, glanced at Mo Qian whose body was gradually growing cold, and frowned: "Norton, why didn't you let him finish speaking?"
“I hate the Lengle family.” Norton crossed his arms. “You have a problem with that?”
After saying that, he turned and left without even looking at Sara's expression.
Norton frowned slightly.
He had been in contact with Shaluo for so long, but he hadn't found the black skull symbol that Ying Zijing had mentioned.
The few sages who are truly in control of all this are still in the shadows.
It is a protracted war.
The Magician only came out after Norton left.
Sara gripped the scepter in her hand: "What has he been doing lately?"
The magician was taken aback: "How would I know that?"
He was trying to avoid Norton as much as possible.
"He didn't just come back this time; he also learned alchemy and said he wanted to learn from you, Sha Luo Dandan. So, did he learn anything from you?"
The magician's talent lies in alchemy and potion-making, something no other alchemist can match.
Norton's special abilities, after all, have nothing to do with alchemy.
“Yes, I did ask for your advice,” the magician said. “He also took some of my new medicines, saying he’d take them back to study.”
Sara ignored it and turned to the steward kneeling on the ground, instructing him, "I've changed my mind. I'll inform the Lyinger family in a few days."
"Just say that the tanks hate them. The Leinger family needs to be reformed immediately."
The steward wiped his sweat and stood up shakily: "Yes, Your Majesty."
**
The next day, early in the morning.
Courtroom.
Tianyan was locked up for a whole night.
She still can't understand why she was brought to trial.
She was placed in the worst cell, and upon arrival, she was given only a piece of bread that even slaves wouldn't eat.
This treatment was too much for Tianyan to bear any longer.
She pounded on the door, shouting at the top of her lungs, "I know Miss Bi'er! Let me call her, she'll definitely come back to save me!"
Tianyan had just shouted something when a current suddenly surged through the door.
She was electrocuted and fell to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.
Just then, the warden walked over, opened the door with his fingerprint, and said indifferently, "The Lyinger family wants to see you. You may leave."
It must be Bi'er who's here!
Tianyan was overjoyed.
She endured the pain and crawled and knelt out.
Until they arrived at the visiting room the warden had mentioned.
But Tianyan didn't see Bi'er, only the butler who had tied her up. Her expression changed: "You...why did you arrest me? Don't you know I know Miss Bi'er?!"
Beryl has such a high status in high society, and she is also a direct descendant of the Lyinger family.
She naturally benefited a lot from it as well.
"You know Miss Bi'er?" The butler glanced at her disdainfully. "This advanced student is quite impressive."
He emphasized the word "high-class" and even clapped his hands: "You dare to spread rumors about our young lady? Where do you get the guts and courage?"
Upon hearing this, Tianyan was taken aback at first, then shouted, "I didn't spread rumors about Miss Bi'er!"
She was only targeting Ying Zijin, a lowly commoner.
The door to the visiting room was then pushed open again.
When Tianyan looked up, she saw Suwen and Ying Zijin standing side by side.
The butler immediately stood up and bowed respectfully: "Madam, Miss."
The second title exploded in Tianyan's mind like a thunderclap, sparking a flurry of emotions.
She stared at the girl in disbelief, her lips trembling: "You, you..."
Is the young lady the butler was referring to Ying Zijing?
No, she must be dreaming, she must be!
"It was her who maliciously slandered Yaoyao?" Suwen glanced at Tianyan indifferently.
“Yes, Madam,” the butler said coldly. “If the young lady hadn’t been found in time, her ‘evidence’ could have even led to the Sage’s House executing her.”
These words completely changed Suwen's expression.
The genetic lock is only in one place in the entire world, or even the entire Earth.
Once it's broken, it's useless.
Ying Zijin is Suwen's bottom line.
Su Wen sneered: "What are you? You dare to touch my daughter?"
Tianyan was so numb that she couldn't speak.
Her face gradually turned deathly pale, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.
She kowtowed frantically, pleading, "Madam, spare me! Miss, spare me! I didn't mean to! I didn't!"
If she knew that Ying Zijing was the eldest daughter of the Lyinger family, would she dare to make any underhanded moves?
She would definitely try to curry favor with Ying Zijin in order to gain entry into high society.
"I demand that the court impose a severe sentence." Su Wen was unmoved. "This kind of person should stay out of my and Yao Yao's sight."
Tianyan was devastated: "Madam!"
However, before she could struggle, a judge stepped forward, lifted her up, and took her to the courtroom.
The butler turned his head: "Madam, now?"
"I'm going to sort out the affairs of the Lianzhou family," Suwen said. "We're having a banquet for Yaoyao tomorrow."
She patted the girl's head: "Mom's leaving now."
Ying Zijing placed several weapons and a bottle of medicine in Suwen's hands: "Take care on your journey."
Suwen smiled and said, "Mom knows, and will definitely not let herself become a tool for others to use against you."
After Suwen left, the butler bowed again and said, "Miss, I will escort you back to your family home."
“This is my friend.” Ying Zijing pointed to Fifth Month and nodded. “Uncle Butler, could you please arrange her room next to mine?”
"Yes, yes." The butler nodded repeatedly, very pleased. "It's a good thing that the young lady has many friends."
Fifth Month looked at the girl expectantly: "Hi, Master, you promised to take me to see Jinzi at noon today."
She can't wait to make a big splash.
Once she has enough gold, she can relax and do nothing.
"Okay, I'll take you." Ying Zijing pulled down the brim of her hat lazily. "Let's go now."
The butler's expression suddenly changed, and his voice rose: "What?"
Ying Zijin turned around: "What?"
"Young Miss, something's happened!" The butler, still holding his phone, said anxiously, "Just now, the Sage's Academy issued an order saying that the head of the family is dead and a new head must be elected immediately!"
The comment system seemed to have a problem yesterday; I wonder if it's working properly today.
