Alien world

Chapter 1016 Chapter 247. King vs King

"Master Olme? Sir? Lord Annan?"

The flattering call brought Annan back to his senses, and in front of him was the face of the President of the Purification Court, smiling like a chrysanthemum.

"Lord Annan, I am your man..."

"Got it... huh? My people?" Annan then noticed what he was saying.

The head of the Purification Court leaned forward and said, "I, I am also a Free Blade..."

He was worried that Annan would kill him as well in order to get promoted, so he had to reveal his identity.

Annan just looked at him with a smile: "It's not enough to just talk about becoming a free blade."

The judge was sweating profusely. He really knew everything...

"I understand. I will ask my family to correct their bad habits..."

Annan nodded and watched the president leave.

"Are you going to let him go?" Maria asked.

"I'm not even the chief judge of the court. Even if I drag him out and kill him, the chief judge position will be given to someone else."

Moreover, compared to others, the president did not use the Free Blade to do things that should not be done - the number of Free Blades caught by the Purification Court decreased as time went on, and this president played an indispensable role in this.

"Let's see how he performs."

……

The president of the court hurried back to the family and told Colin, the eldest son who was in charge of the family business, to sell all his businesses.

"Why? We just got the management rights from the grain officer..."

"Because we stretched our hands too far, some big shots expressed their dissatisfaction with me."

Colin thought that his father was a member of parliament and the president of the Purification Court. How could he be such a big shot, unless -

"Father, you...you came into contact with the Free Blade?"

The president looked at his clever son with satisfaction. He patted his head while he was flattered. He tilted his head and said to the housekeeper, "Lock Colin in the basement and take good care of him. Don't let him out before spring comes."

"Father, you can't do this! Our family can take this opportunity to become a great noble family!"

"I'm doing this for my family... The war between the Kingdom and Liberty City is not something we can participate in." The president shook his head and sighed.

"What is there to be afraid of in Liberty City? With those untouchables? They are not even as good as the ratmen—"

"You have no idea what I encountered..."

That sorcerer, he actually dared to run to the new capital, right under the king's nose, and the king even wanted to summon him... How dare he! ?

The president of the court did not think that Annan was risking everything by coming to the new capital. He was too indifferent, as if he was playing a game with the kingdom.

He was afraid because of the unknown.

Colin was taken away by the butler, revealing his wife standing outside the door holding two cups of hot tea, looking worried.

"Don't worry, it's just a normal family matter." The president said to the housekeeper who had not left yet, "Send her to accompany Colin."

The first thing the court president did after taking over the family affairs was to stop the business that his eldest son was negotiating. He made things clear and cut off all ties.

It was obvious that the judge was indeed scared, and he did it very thoroughly.

On the Purification Court side, he also showed goodwill to Olme, played by Annan: the position of branch chief was vacant and there was no suitable candidate, so Annan would temporarily serve as the acting branch chief.

Then he warned the judges who refused to obey that they could not afford to offend Master Olme and that his position would be his sooner or later, so he asked them to behave themselves.

Olme, who became the acting branch chief, had no time to rest and continued to deal with the list given by the branch chief.

He made all the nobles who overly bullied and oppressed the commoners into free blades, and the nobles who operated the Gray Gloves and did these things had their hands cut off - to eliminate the gangs.

Therefore, even though the military minister never mentioned Master Olme in his sphere of influence, many nobles catered to his wishes and frequently sent this name to the palace.

The young king became more and more interested in this young talent. That day, the head of the parliament reported the dire situation in the north without any embellishment.

Clo didn't care about these. His attention was on Olmeshao: "Will you meet him for me?"

"You are the king, you can summon him if you want to see him." "That's true...then let him come to the palace." Clo yawned again, "After I wake up...let him come to see me."

……

Soldiers from the Purification Court entered and exited the manor, escorting property and family members.

Annan stood at the door, seemingly not hearing the women's cries. After all, the cries of the people they had oppressed were far more miserable than theirs.

When Annan was about to leave, a shout was suddenly heard.

"Evil man, go to hell!"

The girl rushed over with frivolous steps, and the family members looked up with hope, but were taken away with disappointment.

The attacker was stopped by his men before he could get past Maria.

"Master Olme! You killed my father! I will kill you!"

Annan looked at the struggling girl in confusion: "Who is your father?"

He had offended so many people that he couldn't remember who she was.

"Hoss, don't you remember?"

Only then did Annan remember the Boss Hoss whom he had dealt with when he first came to the new capital.

"You want to avenge your father?"

"He loved me so much, and you ruined it all!"

According to the girl, Boss Hoss is actually a good father...

Is this a conflict? No, it is not. All nobles do it for their families and descendants.

"Because your father did something he shouldn't have done."

"He clearly did nothing! You killed him and framed him. You should feel ashamed!" The girl seemed to be well protected and knew nothing.

"I should be ashamed." Annan's words stunned the girl, "The families of those killed by your father can no longer seek revenge, and I actually let you live..."

The subordinate asked, "Sir, what are you going to do?"

"Throw it out."

Annan had no intention of implicating the murderer's family, but he would not have a good attitude towards her either.

Leaving the stunned girl behind, Annan returned to the Purification Court with his men.

Outside the Purification Hall Church, the president was standing there with a group of soldiers. Annan could tell from the gold badges on their collars that they were the royal guards.

The palace messenger smiled and said, "Master Olme, the king wants to see you."

Annan thought this day would come later.

He nodded calmly: "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

The messenger looked at Annan and said, "That's fine. The king likes his subjects to wear uniforms."

"I'll go with you." Annan turned his head and said to Maria, "Go tell my uncle that I'm going to the palace."

She is a rat person, and following her into the palace would expose her identity.

When Annan followed the president and the envoy to the palace, Maria also found the military minister.

The Minister of Military Affairs quickly notified other high-ranking Freeblades and asked them to prepare.

The new king is full of undercurrents. Even if the chairman of the parliament sees something, there is nothing he can do. After all, Annan wants to meet Clo...

……

At this moment, Annan, who followed the messenger to the palace, saw the king sitting lazily on the throne.

His first words frightened the judge.

"Your Majesty, we meet again."
