Genshin Impact: I am really not the European Emperor

Since this mysterious and high-profile astrologer could calculate that there was an iron bee stinger in the cylindrical box, it was impossible not to figure out whether it was the one made by Wagner.

After thinking hard, he came up with two possibilities.

One is that someone secretly stuffed the sword into his son's storage box.

It's just that this storage box was made so exquisitely and secretly that even he, the head of the family, never knew of its existence.

How could an outsider easily sneak into his son's room, accurately find the storage box and put the sword in it?

The most important thing is that even if he believes in someone, he still doesn't believe that someone can take the sword away from that adult...

As for another possibility, the sword was actually put in by his son, a psychopath and jerk!

The first possibility is indeed possible, but no matter how you think about it, the second possibility is more realistic and logical.

This beast can do such vulgar things, and it's not impossible to shamelessly get the sword back!

Thinking of this, the head of the Howard family finally made a painful decision in his heart.

He knelt down on one knee in front of everyone and said earnestly to the honorary knight:

"Dear Knight of Honor, I have nothing to defend. I didn't expect this traitor to do such a despicable thing!

“But I can assure you that I am definitely a good, law-abiding citizen, and I have never been involved in this matter from beginning to end!

"You can handle it however you want. The Howard family will definitely respect the Knights' decision and accept any punishment..."

Looking at the middle-aged man's sincere words but dismissing the blame completely, a look of contempt flashed in his eyes.

Without your instructions, without the crowd of fools instigating you, would your son have the guts to do such a thing?

However, she still fell silent and looked at Si Bailu who walked into the room.

The young man sighed deeply, helped John Howard up sympathetically, and said in a gentle tone:

"Mr. Howard spoke harshly. I believe this is only the son's fault and has nothing to do with the rest of the Howard family.

"I will advise Captain Qin to try not to implicate your family's guilt."

Hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared on John's face. He didn't expect that the man in front of him, who looked to be only 20 years old, could actually behave like this.

After all, the Howard family is an indispensable force in Mondstadt.

If we really want to hold the entire family accountable, it will not only involve a large number of people and consume a lot of energy, but it will also weaken Mond's power.

Si Bailu's approach undoubtedly gave the other party a step down and minimized the impact of this incident on Mondstadt City.

At the same time, he can also use this method to show kindness to the Howard family, making them grateful and increasing their loyalty again.

It’s a brilliant strategy to accomplish multiple things with one stone!

John naturally understood what the other party meant, and immediately walked down the steps given by the other party, and said with remorse on his face:

"It's the father's fault if a son doesn't teach. No matter how you say it, I, as a father, have the responsibility. I will accompany this rebellious son to the Knights to apologize."

Si Bailu nodded, and then announced in front of everyone:

"Then the truth about Wagner's defective product came out. It was actually a hoax written and directed by Andre Howard.

“The purpose is to overthrow Wagner’s blacksmith shop and make our own forging industry a giant in Mondstadt.

“My heart is good for the family, but this kind of behavior is really shameful.

"Business competition should not include these despicable behaviors. Improving the quality of goods is the way to do business!

"Now, I will assist the Knights of Honor in escorting Andre Howard back to the Knights for conviction. Anyone who has any objections can raise it now."

At this moment, those surrounding the door, in addition to the West Wind Knight, were servants of the Howard family and some high-ranking attendants.

They looked at each other, but no one dared to express their objections.

The gentle and beautiful housekeeper opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she obediently closed her red lips under the signal from John Howard's eyes.

Seeing that no one objected, Si Bailu asked Mona to release Andre who was trapped in the water balloon.

Although he couldn't make a sound in the water balloon, Andre could hear voices outside.

He looked at his father who always loved him, but he didn't even want to look at him.

He really wanted to explain to the other party that he really didn't want that sword back or that he brought it back.

But because of the photo, he believed that the other party had already strongly questioned his personality and personality, and there was no point in explaining more.

And when the evidence is solid, no matter how much he explains, it seems feeble.

And from the conversation just now, he had already heard that the other party was planning to sacrifice himself to save the family.

And the man named Si Bailu obviously acquiesced in the other party's behavior.

The only good thing is that Si Bailu didn't mention anything about the fools.

This shows that the other party also has reservations about this sensitive topic.

If he's lucky, and he's only involved in a case of [-] molas, his punishment shouldn't be too severe...

The only thing that worries him is that after he comes out of the cell, there may be no place for him in this family...

Looking at Andre who was silent, Si Bailu was a little surprised that the other party didn't defend himself.

It seems that after his hobby was discovered, especially by his father, he no longer had the arrogance he had before.

Si Bailu waved to the West Wind Knight at the door, and immediately two people walked in, one of them escorted Andre out.

……

On the way to the Knights of the West Wind, John Howard, who had gradually relaxed, suddenly noticed——

The other one of the two men in black robes who came with the Zephyr Knight actually had shackles on his hands!

A breeze blew by, and the hood on the opponent's head was blown off, revealing the unique hairstyle and mask of the Thunder Fire Warlocks of the Fools.

John Howard's expression changed instantly, and his mood sank to the bottom again.

In other words, if they were unwilling to admit their guilt just now, this Thunder Fire Warlock would become the best witness.

And this matter will immediately rise from an ordinary business case to a treason case of colluding with fools!

At that time, even if he has a hundred Kaiya's sharp tongues, he will not be able to explain his relationship with the Fools.

The reason why the other party didn't point it out on the spot was that they seemed to want to give them a chance to change their ways.

If you are not sure this time, the other party will dig out this old debt at any time, which can also cause the Howard family to suffer disaster!

Chapter 118 Women's Clothing is Impossible

John knew very well that although their Howard family was a force that could not be ignored.

But if they really do something treasonous, the Knights will definitely wipe them out without mercy!

He doesn't think that the Knights are easy to bully now that they have a small number of people. Any captain-level figure can destroy their entire family by one person!

Of course, none of this was John Howard's biggest worry.

What he was most worried about and confused about was how on earth the Knights of the West Wind obtained the Iron Blade.

Did he defeat that adult head-on, or did that adult abandon the Howard family like trash for something else...

No matter which possibility it is, it is not good news for the Howard family.

It seems... that after his son's matter is over, he will have to carefully choose his side.

But once you stand on the wrong team, the Howard family will surely fall into a desperate situation!

……

After the Knights’ top brass interrogated Andre for half an hour, the verdict of conviction finally came down:

“Andre Howard was sentenced to three years in prison for unfair competition involving a sum of up to [-] Moras.

The Howard family's forging shop was also shut down and underwent rectification for half a year.

In addition, the Howard family will compensate one hundred thousand molas for the reputation and property damage caused by Wagner's blacksmith shop. "

Andre expressed strong dissatisfaction with this sentence, believing that as a descendant of a noble family, he had the right to reduce his sentence.

However, this proposal was directly rejected by John Howard.

Seeing his father's attitude, Andre was immediately heartbroken.

It seemed that his father had really given up on him, and no longer planned to hand over the Howard family's property to him, nor did he plan to recognize him as his son.

Is it really such a natural thing for a man to wear women's clothing?

Appealing was hopeless, and Andre had no choice but to accept the punishment.

After everything was dealt with, Si Bailu accompanied Qin back to her office.

Mona was so sleepy that she went back to sleep before the trial began.

Ying was a witness in court for half an hour.

After the trial, she immediately asked Si Bailu for the remaining three chaos circuits. After getting them, she ran away with Paimon.

Seeing no one else around, Qin lay on the desk, stretching like a cat with a tired look on her face.

She rested her chin on the table, smiled softly at Si Bailu and said:

"Thanks to you again this time, I didn't expect that an ordinary commercial case would involve the Fools again.

"Without you, I don't know what this matter would have turned into..."

Si Bailu sat down on the red paint chair without any surprise, crossed his legs and said with a smile:

"How's it going? Do you think I'm a very down-to-earth man? Are you a little bit moved?"

Qin rolled her eyes at the man and said angrily:

“In terms of doing things, besides Diluc and Kaia, you are indeed the third man who makes me feel very reliable.

"But when it comes to feelings... why do you feel like you are a little impetuous?

"Apart from Yola, Miss Mona seems to be quite interested in you. And now you come here to flirt with me, the acting captain?"

Hearing this, Si Bailu blushed and said with a smile:

"No way, excellent women always attract the attention of the opposite sex.
