1775: Recruiting a Loyal Hound

Recruiting a Loyal Hound

"Are you going to put up a fight again?" asked Chen Xiaobei while walking towards Eighth Wangye with all eight Earth-God Instruments hovering around him.2

Midair, 10,000 evil spirits had gotten into formation and were staring at Eighth Wangye. Amongst all things, Chen Xiaobei still had his Chaos Blood Sword and Blood-God's Deity-Killing Painting unleashing immense pressure on Eighth Wangye. A smart elite like Eighth Wangye knew that there was no way he could defeat Chen Xiaobei.

"I have lost the battle… You can kill me if you want! But before I die... can you at least tell me why you're adamant on killing all of us?

"Hmph! Don't try to guess what I'm about to do! I wouldn't even let you talk to me if I wanted to kill you!"

"You… You are not going to kill me? You have just killed all eight of my brothers! Why would you keep me alive?"

"Listen carefully to what I have to say now! I'm not going to repeat myself!"

"Yes…"

"My name is Chen Xiaobei and I'm Luo Puti's man! The reason why I've come is to rescue Luo Bin and Lin Xue! I want those that worked at the warden building to pay for what they did to them. That's why I killed them all! As for you, I killed all eight of your brothers because Royal Dome attempted to take advantage of Saint Duke. This happened although Saint Duke agreed to let their princess marry one of your Royal Dome's princes! Not only that, you guys even came up with a hell lot of ridiculous demands! Do you know what happened after that?! During the war, your Royal Dome collaborated with Tenshou to attack Saint Duke! As a Wangye, you should know well enough about this!"

"Yes… I know about all these…"

"The entire Saint Duke is now almost destroyed because of what you guys did! Do you know how many innocent people have died in the war? Don't you know about all of these?!"

"I…"

Eighth Wangye was rendered speechless.

"You are speechless now… I take your silence as your agreement that all those people deserved to die!"

"But… The princess that married our prince is a fake princess! Saint Duke was the one that broke the promise first!"

"Stop making excuses! It's true that the princess was a fake! However, you realize that Saint Duke did treat the fake princess like a real princess, right?! What's the difference then?! If your Royal Dome kept your promise, the fake princess would have done what a real princess does until the end of her life! She would have become the bridge that builds good relationships between Saint Duke and Royal Dome! Eventually, you guys are the ones who forced her to kill the prince!"

"About this…"

As an important member of Royal Dome's royalty, Eighth Wangye knew that everything Chen Xiaobei had just said was true. If Royal Dome had not broken their promise in the first place, the fake princess would not have assassinated the prince! Also, hundreds of thousands of civilians and soldiers would not have died from the war! This was the underlying factor on why Eighth Wangye could not defend his starfield.

"I'm one of the core members as well! I deserve to die too! Why didn't you kill me?"

"Because I can see that you are a smart man! With your brain, I know that you wouldn't have made such a dumb decision! I also know that you were the only one who went against this stupid plan!"

"How… How did you know that?"

To his surprise, Eighth Wangye did not expect an enemy like Chen Xiaobei to know him better than his own brothers. Such people were usually hard to come by.

"You are really smart and most importantly, you know how to see the bigger picture! I believe you can rule Royal Dome Starfield better than anyone here!"

"What? Me? As the new emperor? Are you kidding me…?"

"I ain't kidding you! You big brother has to die! After he dies, I need someone to rule Royal Dome Starfield to make sure that it's business as usual! I believe you are the best candidate for that!"

"You… You are powerful enough to kill my big brother? How is that even possible?"

"Firstly, there are a lot of innocent civilians in Royal Dome Starfield! Only you can ensure that there would be no internal conflict! I trust you can use your abilities and talents to make this starfield a better place! I also believe that you will not give up a golden opportunity like this!"

"I… I'm willing to protect all the civilians of Royal Dome Starfield! I'm willing to make this a better place! Tell me what should I do now?"

"Open your mouth! Eat this, and everything that I promised you will come to pass!"

"I know that you will not kill me since you have just spared my life."

Eighth Wangye took the Heavenly Dog Biscuit and put it in his mouth without any hesitation.

"Master…"

All his fear was now replaced by loyalty towards Chen Xiaobei.

"Your life is no longer yours! From today onwards, you are my loyal hound! The emperor of Royal Dome Starfield has nothing to do with you!"

"Understood! I will wait here to kill the emperor for you!"
