Chapter 298: Xie’s death
” Y- You can’t k- kill me. ”
Xie said as he slowly moved towards Jayden, acting as if he was just moving away from the guards, but the fear in is his voice was real.
” Sorry, Xie but I’ll take all the blame for your death, I’m sorry there is no other choice, I’ll ask your family for forgiveness. ”
The prophet said and turned his back towards Xie, he didn’t want to see him get killed.
Xie was taking slow but deliberate steps towards Jayden and just as he got closer enough to him, Xie jumped towards him and placed his sword on Jayden’s neck, as he shouted:
” E- Everyone move a- away from me, or I’m going to s- slash his n- neck, if I saw anyone trying a- anything, I’ll immediately slit his t- throat. ”
While he said this everyone there looked at him as if looking at a clown because he was holding empty air, and there was nothing under the tip of his blade.
” Haa, I can’t believe such a stupid person is being called the brain of the Kingdom, I think he is a lost cause. ”
Jayden said, he stood beside Wang Jia looking at him with a smirk.
Coming out of the daze, Xie stared in front of him and couldn’t understand what had just happened.
In the next instant, several swords were pointed towards Xie then dropped to the ground and began to beg:
” N- No, please I- I’m sorry, I was wrong, I- I’ll go and will n- never come back, p- please- ”
But his words were interrupted, as all four guards suddenly charged at him, and before he could utter any more words, several swords pierced his body, within a couple of seconds his eyes became lifeless and he fell to the ground with a thump.
” Great, now you just have to do one more thing that you have promised, I have many informers around here so if you try anything I’ll be sure to pay you a visit. ”
Jayden said, turning to the prophet.
” Y- Yes sir, I’ll do that. ”
The prophet said with a deep bow. Jayden nodded in satisfaction and turned his face away.
In the crowd, Qiang had a scowl on his face, he couldn’t understand how Jayden was able to kill Xie in his own plan, but there was nothing he could do.
Ever since coming back from there, his mother have been acting strange, she kept singing songs to herself and had mood swings, some times she becomes extremely happy and sometimes she suddenly becomes so angry, as if she wants something but can’t get it.
Qiang knew that his mother must be Bewitched by Wang Jin, though he couldn’t understand just how he was able to do it when she is so much stronger than him.
While gritting his teeth he looked around and saw Xiao Rong in the distance, she was there with her father and mother.
‘ Maybe I should talk with her father and again get him to engage her with me, damnit this time it would be difficult since she has already surpassed me, but I could probably use Grandfather’s help to put pressure on him. ‘
He thought and began to make his way towards Xiao Rong and her family.
‘ My Jin actually won, I knew it they wouldn’t be able to do anything to him, I should go and tell him about this, I’m sure he will definitely know what I should do. ‘
Xiao Rong thought and glanced at her father, who was staring at the ground in shock.
Using this chance, she secretly mixed into the crowd and began to make her way towards Jayden, Lao Rong noticed her daughter’s movements but instead of stopping her, she stood in between her husband and Xiao.
With a grateful smile, Xiao disappeared into the crowd without anyone noticing, though Qiang was also looking at her but because of the crowd, he also couldn’t see where she had gone.
Rong Fu stared at the dead body of Xie, nothing was making sense, it was such a perfect plan.
It would have been the end of both Wang Jia and Wang Jin.
‘ H- How did it turn out like this? Wasn’t this supposed to be an event where Wang Jia will become the king’s servant while Wang Jin would be executed publicly?
Why is Xie the one who died instead when he came here to avenge his son and even the so called Godly Prophet is acting so meek in front of him, and now he is going to walk completely naked back to the castle, how humiliating would that be? ‘
He thought, with this event he was planning to make Xiao and her mother understand the power of the king and make sure that she agrees to become the queen of the Kingdom and wife of the king.
‘ I need to go back immediately and talk with the king as soon as possible, and Xiao right I have to bring her back with me, who knows what that cunning kid might plan, he might even kill me without even lifting a finger. ‘
Rong Fu thought and instantly glanced to the side, as he spoke:
” Let’s return back to home, for now, we will talk late- wait… ”
He looked around hastily and then turned his gaze towards Lao Rong and in an angry tone he asked:
” Where is Xiao Rong? Tell me now! ”
Hearing his shout, Lao Rong shivered and acting confused she looked around and spoke:
” S- She was here just now, maybe she… ”
Lao Rong tried to think about any kind of excuse then her eyes landed on Qiang who was standing some distance away and was looking at them.
” Oh right, she went with him just now, he is… Qiang yeah, she went to talk to Qiang about something. ”
Lao Rong said while pointing her fingers towards Qiang who looked back at her in confusion, he couldn’t understand what she was saying.
‘ Is she introducing me to her husband, or maybe she is telling him about me so that Xiao could marry me? But what if she is complaining to him about me? ‘
Qiang thought and straightened his back, as he saw Rong Fu walking towards him.
” H- Hello sir, I- I’m Qiang, y- you probably know about me, I am the one y- you engaged your d- daughter to- ”
Qiang began to speak, but Rong who had an angry expression on his face wasn’t in the mood to listen to anything, getting closer to him he directly asked:
” Where is my daughter? ”
Hearing his question, Qiang showed a confused expression and wondered:
‘ Why is he asking me about Xiao, did he think that she is with me, whatever let’s use this chance to ask him about marrying Xiao to me? ‘
Qiang thought and instead of answering his question he asked:
” A- Actually, I want to say that Xiao and I are very much i- in love with one a- another, so I want to ask you to let me marry your daught- ” Qiang began to confess, but his words got stuck in his throat when he saw the angry expression on Rong Fu’s face.
