Dragon's Origin

Chapter 489: The Butler's Fury (Part 2)

The people who had just been sent outside heard the commotion and rushed in, but everything inside was already finished.

Everyone looked at their companion who had been taken down by the butler's order, their faces full of confusion. They didn't know why the butler would have someone take him down.

"Do you know why you're being taken down?" The butler waved his hand, telling everyone to stand back. He still had people guarding the surroundings, then looked down at the guy pinned to the ground, asking with a very displeased expression.

"I don't know! I'm innocent!" The expert pinned to the ground kept trying to explain and beg for mercy.

"I'll give you a chance. Why did you do that in the Grand Theater?" The butler didn't care about his explanations, his face full of frost, as he said calmly, "This is your only chance. Tell me, and maybe I'll report to the City Lord and give you a chance."

"I really don't know!" The other party was still resisting stubbornly, seemingly determined to deny everything he had done.

The others were completely bewildered. What had he done in the Grand Theater? Some of them had been together at the time, and they hadn't felt anything unusual about him while listening to the music. Could it be that the butler had made a mistake?

"Alas!" The butler's sigh was so clear that everyone's heart trembled.

"For so many years, Worry-Free City hasn't treated you badly. Why did you have to do something that betrays Worry-Free City?" The butler's sigh stemmed from this. This expert was an old member of Worry-Free City. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen the first time Worry-Free City participated in a concert.

It was true that he was on the verge of a breakthrough, but it was also related to his previous loyalty to Worry-Free City. Unfortunately, a moment of carelessness made him stand on the opposite side of Worry-Free City.

"I didn't betray Worry-Free City!" The captured man was still arguing, still resisting stubbornly.

"Do you know what this is?" The butler directly took out the small jade box that Wang Sheng had given him, opened it, and revealed the wax pill inside.

"This is the Truth Pill, personally identified by A Jie." The butler shook his head and sighed, "500,000 gold coins per pill, even if you are at the peak of the Legendary realm, you can't resist the power of the Truth Pill. I gave you a chance!"

Seeing the Truth Pill, the captured man immediately stopped struggling, his eyes fixed on the Truth Pill, and he said nothing more.

The Worry-Free City assassins who had been slandering the butler in their hearts, seeing this situation, also understood. It was likely that their companion had really done something bad in the Royal Grand Theater.

"Feed it to him." The butler gave the Truth Pill to A Jie, who was responsible for identification.

A Jie's technique was very skilled. He grabbed the guy's chin, stuffed the pill in, flushed it down with some water, and punched him fiercely in the throat. The other party couldn't help but swallow the pill.

The butler watched all of this, without any movement, calculating the time. When the effects of the medicine kicked in, he opened his mouth and asked, "What did you do in the Royal Grand Theater?"

"I originally planned to interrupt when those people broke through, preferably kill a few, and completely ruin this concert." After taking the Truth Pill, the other party had no way to lie, his face full of confusion, answering every question: "But later I was attracted by the music and couldn't act. In the end, I could only advance and break through with everyone."

"In other words, you really betrayed Worry-Free City." The butler sighed again and said, "I don't remember giving such an order, and the City Lord didn't give such an order either, right?"

"I didn't betray Worry-Free City." Even after taking the Truth Pill, the other party still repeated this sentence: "I just took a private job. The other party asked me to make trouble during the Royal Grand Theater performance, the bigger the better. I received 500,000 gold coins in advance, and if successful, there would be another 500,000 gold coins afterward. In addition, the more people I killed, the more extra gold coins there would be."

"Then do you know what the consequences would be if you succeeded in taking action, and the important figures from various principalities who participated this time were either dead or injured?" The butler was furious when he heard that the other party had only taken a private job, but he still asked.

"Just kill a few people, just take it as a reward from Worry-Free City. It's just taking action at this time." The big man answered blankly, as if hypnotized: "In the past, Worry-Free City also had assassins who took action in similar occasions, successfully killed their targets and retreated completely. This time is the same. Who can blame Worry-Free City for choosing what kind of occasion to take action? The more people die, the more rewards will be completed."

That's what he said, but obviously, this guy's brain wasn't working well enough. His thinking was still stuck a few years or even ten years ago. He didn't know what it meant for so many important figures from various principalities to gather together now. He still thought that killing an important figure from a certain family could highlight his awesomeness and get more Worry-Free City rewards and points?

Since the last time the Kingdom of Triumph was destroyed, all parties have been constantly looking for opportunities to divide up a certain unlucky small principality. If Worry-Free City were to offer itself at this time, the various principalities and royal families would be eager to use this reason to dismember Worry-Free City and then directly control Worry-Free City. This guy was still thinking about how he could kill a few more and get more rewards?

"Idiot!" The butler immediately cursed. Besides this word, he couldn't think of how to describe this guy.

"Who gave you the private job?" Since this guy didn't really want to betray Worry-Free City, the butler was too lazy to care about what he thought, and only asked who gave him the private job.

"It was the waiter at Liu Ji Tavern in Worry-Free City who connected me." The Truth Pill answered every question, and the big man quickly replied: "The other party didn't reveal his identity, but he must be a veteran who hangs out in Worry-Free City. He was also quick to give money."

This was the clue. The butler continued to question him for a long time, confirming that this guy had just taken a private job out of greed for rewards, but almost kicked Worry-Free City into the abyss. He really hated him. After finishing the questioning, he directly gave A Jie a gesture to slit his throat. This kind of idiot, even if he didn't betray Worry-Free City, even if he was already a Legendary expert, couldn't be kept.

"Send his head to the Duke's mansion." After the person was dragged down, the butler ordered, "Tell Duke Changsheng that Worry-Free City is investigating the real culprit. Worry-Free City will definitely give Duke Changsheng an explanation for this matter. Please ask Duke Changsheng to wait for Worry-Free City to catch the real culprit, and then tell the various principalities."

The butler had to do this, because Wang Sheng had already questioned him in the letter. If Worry-Free City couldn't give a reasonable reason, I'm afraid it wouldn't be Wang Sheng's butler who came to talk, but representatives from various principalities. No matter how strong Worry-Free City was, it couldn't be against all the principalities in the world.
