Novel Full Chapter 640 - Arrogance
"I cannot go with you." Mrs. Lei was thinking straight now. How could she go with this bunch of despicable bastards who kill without batting an eye? It would be a miracle if she leave the castle half alive.
"Mrs. Lei, with what you have caused here, we are requiring you to come with us. However, you don't have to worry because we will just talk about compensations." The eunuch's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "So we require you to come with us. Please don't make it difficult for us now, shall we?"
The eunuch had full of smiles, but those in the know knew the devil-like personality of this person. Mrs. Lei was right not to come with them as she would just be throwing her life there.
"I can't." Mrs. Lei shook her head and wanted to run away. However, she was already surrounded by the kingdom's soldiers. Her face was drained with color. It's over.
"You cannot leave without coming with us, Mrs. Lei." The coldness of the eunuch's voice was obvious. He would push this matter through.
"You..." Mrs. Lei was cornered. All she could do now was to explode and bring as many as people as she could. This might ease his son's hatred even a bit. Her other son was a strong man, he could survive even without her, maybe.
She was about to activate the papers when suddenly a hand moved and stopped her from doing so. It wasn't a hand of a soldier or the eunuch, it was a young man's hand. She looked at who was the owner of this hand and turned confused. Who was this young man?
He was wearing a black robe with no distinguishing features. He also had an above average look at best. If you blend him with the crowd, you couldn't find him.
"Who are you?" The eunuch creased his brows. Who would be daring enough to meddle in their affairs? "This is a royal business and outsiders shall remain outside of this."
Jin Rou took a deep breath. He intended on just watching by the sidelines. After all, this had nothing to do with him. However, the woman had a peculiar similarity with his mother for some reason and couldn't remain still. For an unknown reason, Jin Rou stepped up to save her.
Jin Rou was no saint or a savior, he knew it himself.
"I'm just a passerby who passes by here by taking this Mrs. Lei." Jin Rou smiled. Since he already showed himself and brought trouble upon himself, might as well play the game now.
"Are you a relative of Mrs. Lei?" Eunuch Lister was confused of his question. Upon his investigations, there was no relative or whatsoever Mrs. Lei had here in the kingdom as they were banished from the Lei Clan. The clan had also given permission that they could do whatever they wanted with Mrs. Lei and her children.
"No, but I'll be taking here still." Jin Rou smiled, "You don't have a choice here. After all, for me, all of you are mere fishes on the chopping board waiting for death."
"Impudent brat! You are a mere person of the younger generation, who are you to call us especially the eunuch like that? You deserve a thousand deaths!" The captain of the troop was enraged. They were greatly respected here yet someone underestimated them like this. How could they take it lying down?
"Talk whenever you have the capability to do so." Jin Rou smirked, "Unfortunately, not even your king will have the power to kill me."
He paused for a moment and resume, "Alright, I'll be taking Mrs. Lei now. Consider this mercy that I have just talked about how can I kill you all. If you cannot still see even with your clear eyes wide open, then I won't be nice next time we meet."
After that, Jin Rou and Mrs. Lei disappeared like a bubble. No one knew where they went even after tracing everything.
"All of you, search for them!" The eunuch was totally angered. Usually, he remained compose no matter what the situation. However, he couldn't tell why was he so provoked by the young man's words. Since the lad dared to do it, someone might be backing him. No matter, he would still make him feel the fate worse than death.

While everyone was crazy searching for the duo, a pair of eyes suddenly opened as the coffin lid slid down slowly. It was in a faraway empire from the Newgate Kingdom. An old man appeared of the coffin, a very old man who had a weak vitality. But his eyes contained countless vigors and worlds, showing his power to the world.
"Ancestor, what's wrong?" A middle-aged man, who was guarding the coffin, got up alarmed. It wasn't yet the time for the ancestor to come out yet he was here now in the open.
"The Seventh Universal Law has appeared in this world." The old man spoke with a low tone, yet it contained thousands of mysteries, "The Fate World will have a drastic change because of his appearance."
"That person's successor is here?" The middle-aged man was stumped. How did that happen? As far as they knew, the man came from a very faraway universe that even laws couldn't come and go. That old man was the exception as he had a treasure that could make him travel to and fro of any of his destinations.
They have heard that the old man had passed away and a successor had already got his legacy, which led to countless greedy old beings search for the successor in attempt to snatch the legacy. However, all of their efforts were for naught as they found out that the successor was in a very far universe that they couldn't reach, thus they gave up.
However, right now, the successor was here. How could those greedy bastards sit still? If the other laws knew this, empires would surely maneuver their resources to capture him.
"So what do you plan, Ancestor?" The middle-aged man spoke. This was not within his calculations and didn't know what to do.
"Firstly, you have to find him and bring him here before those people make a move. You have to be fast and swift.." The ancestor said as he said sternly, "I want him alive."
