Chapter 559: Why Didn’t You Say So Earlier?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the pavilion.
Syrus Yanagi and Westley Hader were playing chess.
Tobey Lapras sat beside the pond, looking like a young scholar. He was engrossed in reading an ancient book. Until the surface of the calm pond rippled.
Someone was coming!
Syrus, who was playing chess, did not turn his head. He had already sensed the approaching person and asked with a smile, “Uncle Jobe, what happened? Your aura is a little chaotic!”
A white-haired old man who looked like an old servant silently appeared outside the pavilion. He was wearing cloth shoes, and his footsteps were silent.
He was definitely a powerful martial artist!
Don’t underestimate this white-haired old man.
He was the protector of the golden silk dragon robe!
“Crown Prince, the Heavenly Execution Token has appeared!” he said in a low voice.
Bang!
Syrus, who was originally calm and composed, instantly turned a white chess piece between his fingers into dust.
The black chess piece in Westley’s hand also turned into powder and fell on the chessboard.
The arrival of this news.
It meant that Syrus and Westley were not calm.
Syrus’s eyes turned cold as he said indifferently, “I only respect my brother in this life. I don’t care about the Heavenly Execution Token.”
“It doesn’t matter. If the owner of the Heavenly Execution Token is no good, I’ll kill him and take the Heavenly Execution Token by force. I’ll bring it back to save us from any trouble in the future.”
Tobey said casually.
One could vaguely see how arrogant Syrus, the owner of the golden dragon robe, and Westley, the owner of the black cloud flying fish robe, were.
They did not care about the ancient Heavenly Execution Token at all!
Even though they were from the masters of the hundred robes.
However, they still refused to follow the order and only listened to Braydon.
The white-haired old man whispered, “The person who issued the Heavenly
Execution Order is the Northern King!”
“What the h.e.l.l? Uncle Jobe, why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Tobey’s face turned green.
If Braydon heard what he said just now, he would definitely be beaten up! Tobey even said that he wanted to kill the owner of the Heavenly Execution
Thinking of this, Tobey’s face darkened. He felt that Uncle Jobe, this old fellow, was not a good person. How dare he trick him!
Uncle Jobe also had a helpless look on his face.
Tobey was so triggered that he wanted to fight!
At this moment, Westley stood up with his hands behind his back and said seriously, “What happened to my brother?”
“The commissioners of the 23 provinces have joined forces to openly confront the Northern King!”
Uncle Jobe did not know the details either.
He had just received the news!
Westley took out his watch and contacted Tristan Yandell. He turned on the video projection and frowned. “Tristan, what happened on Big Brother’s side?” “I just found out that it’s because of the national martial arts examination!” Tristan’s expression was solemn as he told them everything.
More than 90% of the examinees who partic.i.p.ated in the martial arts examination all over the country were the children of aristocratic families.
What did this mean?
It meant that the martial arts examination had become a gilded path for the descendants of aristocratic families!
The descendants of the aristocratic families used the channel of the martial arts examination to enter the three armies, nine departments, and twenty-four divisions.
Furthermore, Tristan revealed that: “Behind the martial arts exam are the aristocratic families and sects. The aristocratic families use the martial arts exam to send their outstanding disciples to the eight inst.i.tutions or the nine departments and twenty-four divisions to further their studies.
“As for the geniuses without any background, they were suppressed by the aristocratic families and deprived of the opportunity to take the martial arts examination. The major factions of the sects took the opportunity to extend an olive branch.
“The two great ent.i.ties each took what they needed and controlled the martial arts examinations all over the country. This matter was discovered by Big Brother!”
At this moment, Tristan revealed the reason why Braydon was so furious in the provincial capital.
Syrus’s eyes were filled with killing intent. He pulled out the black dragon spear from the pavilion and said coldly, “These people are simply courting death!”
“What’s even more infuriating is that Dominic Lowe, that old fellow, actually went to negotiate with the representatives of the aristocratic families to discuss the quota of examinees in the provinces!”
Tristan looked disgusted.
Westley said coldly, “What’s the big deal about the aristocratic families? They don’t have any official positions or t.i.tles. The national martial arts examination is a matter of national importance. It concerns the fate of the country. Why are we discussing it with them?”
“When did the aristocratic families start having a say in the martial arts examination?”
Tobey’s eyes were filled with cold killing intent.
At this moment, one could vaguely see that the people of the Northern Army all had the same personality.
No matter who it was, they would not compromise at all!
Making Braydon and the others compromise with the aristocratic families was a dream!
Even if Syrus and the others destroyed the martial arts examination, they would not let it become a path for the descendants of aristocratic families to gild.
“The commissioners have joined forces, right?” Westley asked softly.
“They are probably working together!”
Tristan gave an affirmative answer through the video call.
Syrus left his residence with the black dragon spear in his hand and said coldly, “Then, let’s kill them!”
On this day.
The capital’s Crown Prince, Syrus, left the capital.
He held the black dragon spear and wore a golden dragon robe. He brazenly charged into the northwest of Joronto province with the spear to visit the commissioner of Joronto, Karson Jacobo.
On the top floor of the commissioner’s office building in Joronto.
A middle-aged man in a suit with his hair combed to the back was commissioner Karson. He stood in front of the window and was on the phone with someone.
“Have you heard the news?” he asked in a low voice.
“What news? Tell me!”
The man on the phone asked directly.
Karson said in a low voice, “Ten minutes ago, I received news that King Braydon issued a Heavenly Execution Order to us in Quill!”
“What?”
The tone of the person on the other end of the phone changed.
Someone who could talk to Karson personally…
Who do you think it is?
It must be one of the 23 commissioners.
The position of commissioner was high and powerful. If they entered the capital, they could become an important official of the palace and even control a region. They could be a veritable commissioner of the border.
They controlled the country!
Every single one of them was a person with monstrous authority.
If this society divided people into cla.s.ses, then without a doubt, commissioners like Karson were at the top of the hierarchy, holding great power in their hands.
All the commissioners knew what the Heavenly Execution Order was.
The capital had once issued strict orders to search for the Heavenly Execution Token.
Once they found this item, it would be a great merit!
This item was known as a great national treasure.
These commissioners were not fools. They had their own connections. Behind every commissioner, there was no lack of support from powerful families or aristocratic families.
To be honest, the powerful families also wanted the Heavenly Execution Token!
The aristocratic families wanted it even more!
All these years, the sects had never stopped searching.
Every year, people from all over the world would send people to look for the Heavenly Execution Token.
The Heavenly Execution Token itself was extraordinary.
With the Heavenly Execution Token in hand, one could command the masters of the hundred robes at will.
Today, the hundred robes’ inheritance had almost been cut off, and there were not many left.
But the black cloud flying fish robe master, Westley, shocked the capital.
The seven-time champion, Syrus, was an existence akin to the overlord of the capital.
There was also the general of the Gray Wolf Army, the white gray-wolf robe,
