Zhuo Yang has always been very cautious. After receiving news from Gordon that he accidentally learned some clues related to the Xue family’s case and wanted to tell him face-to-face, he chose a safer place and brought a guard to the appointment. He also sent a message to Moodys’s personal terminal before meeting.

But he didn’t expect that when it comes to calculating, he still lost to Dean…

As soon as Zhuo Yang entered the door of their agreed box, he was stunned by the cloud of drugs and was taken away.

When he woke up again, he was already bound and thrown on a spaceship. Emperor Winston was also tied and thrown on the spaceship with him.

“Father…” As soon as Zhuo Yang woke up, he saw Emperor Winston at a glance.

Emperor Winston was not in good health. Affected by the drug, his whole person was not very good. He opened his eyes in a daze, not even realizing that he was bound and forced to kneel on the ground. “Zhuo Yang? Where are we?”

“Father, we are afraid that we have…” Zhuo Yang frowned.

Before he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from behind them. “Awake?”

“Why are you here, Dean?” Winston was still a little confused.

On the other hand, Zhuo Yang woke up suddenly. He immediately looked at the Changdi Qing alertly. “It’s you?”

In an instant, an outline of why Tan Yuzhi was so afraid when seeing Dean formed in Zhuo Yang’s mind.

Dean has always been a refined, noble and calm guide. Although he is from the royal family, he has a very good temper. He has always been considerate when dealing with people and things, and he has always been very polite when facing Winston the Great.

Therefore, although Winston and him were half-brothers, the emperor was very fond of his younger brother.

“Why am I here, you should ask your good son, Winston Bricania. If he hadn’t found something he shouldn’t have, and dug up those things, I wouldn’t have been forced to this step either.” At this moment, although Dean looked a little embarrassed, he was still calm and aloof, but the respect he had previously feigned for Winston was gone.

Winston’s brain was still foggy and unclear. “Moodys found something that he shouldn’t have? Why do you need to be on the run?”

In his eyes, this half-brother is simply a quiet existence.

“You are the real behind-the-scenes mastermind of the Xue family’s injustice, and the real leader of the Anti-Imperial Society?” On the contrary, Zhuo Yang reacted immediately.

Moodys recently followed the clues left by Duke Andrew to investigate the unjust case of the Xue family, and the Anti-Imperial Society was found to lead things behind the scenes…

Dean chuckled, tacitly acquiescing to Zhuo Yang’s question. “Your Highness’s reaction is very quick.”

“Anti-Imperial Society? You are also a member of the royal family, why did you create such a reactionary organization to overthrow the royal family? And Xue Zhanting, didn’t you like him, and plead for him several times? Why did you plot against Xue Zhanting? Massacre his family?” After hearing this, Emperor Winston still couldn’t understand the situation.

He didn’t understand and couldn’t understand why Dean did this.

“You are almost the highest-ranking, most powerful, and pampered guide across Osphia. Gold clothes and jade food, and respected by everyone. The royal family and the common people support you, so why did you do this?”

“Power, status?” Dean sneered at Winston’s question. “I was the queen’s child, from the most legitimate bloodline, but now I have to succumb to a bastard born from a mistress. Bowing to you, begging for mercy, even meeting your woman, mistress, and have to give them three points of courtesy, and saluting when we meet. This is also called power and pampering?”

Although he has always pretended, and never looked down on Winston from the bottom of his heart, now this person’s family and younger generations can also ride on his head. How can he be willing?

Winston never knew that this usually obedient half-brother actually thought of himself like this. You… you—”

He was speechless.

“My Anti-Imperial Society not to rebel, but a rebellion to set things right!” Dean looked at him and sneered. “My royal brother is dead, so it should be me succeeding… Why, why was it you, a trash with nothing but paste in your brain? Just because you are a sentinel. I can’t accept this, and am not reconciled… So, the day you ascended the throne, I had already decided to take back everything that belonged to me!”

“But I didn’t expect that, even after several failed plans, you managed to stay safe and sound, and be emperor for so many years!”

This was the thing he hated the most in his life. What happened to guides? Why can’t a guide be the emperor of Osphia? He is also a man. He is also born from the queen, and his blood is noble.

“You… this was all decided by father. I never thought of becoming the emperor. It was your brother who failed to live up to his expectations and carried out human experiments, which dragged down the entire royal family and forced him to die. It’s none of my business! ‘ Winston gritted his teeth.

Emperor was never something he wanted to be, and this mess was not something he wanted to clean up!

Dean sneered, and his entire being was very gloomy. “Ah, what about my emperor’s brother’s human experimentation? It’s just the physical lives of some pariahs who have never contributed to the country and society. There’s nothing to cherish. They’re just ordinary people, not sentinels or guides. My imperial brother grafted their bodies and added other abilities to help those low-level creatures evolve!”

“If Chris wanted to save my imperial brother back then, there’s nothing that couldn’t be suppressed. But he wanted to execute my imperial brother according to the wishes of those untouchables, just because of his own bias, and to help you, a bastard!” He never felt that Hannibal’s death was Hannibal’s fault. Instead, it was caused by the eccentricity of the late emperor and his desire to help Winston take the throne.

Chris is the name of the late emperor.

Dean never believed in justice and fairness. Everything was only a matter of winners and losers.

Winston was speechless about his extremeness, and could only ask angrily: “You— Fine, even if I stole your throne and everything from you, I can admit and give it to you. But, What about Xue Zhanting? Didn’t you grow up with him? Don’t you like him? What’s about him, why did you kill his family?”

After learning all the truth, Winston felt Dean was like a poisonous snake. While begging for Xue Zhanting and saying he likes him, he secretly killed Xue Zanting’s family.

“I like him so much, but he rejected me and was with someone else. Of course he wronged me…” Dean replied righteously, as if Xue Zhanting had really wronged him.

Zhuo Yang only found it funny, and felt that Dean was simply wrong. “Just because you like him, he has to like you, and can’t refuse? Love is a matter of two people, how can there be such a truth?”

Changdi Qing’s thoughts were simply inexplicable.

“I am the Changdi, the most honorable guide in the entire Osphia. I have been able to get everything I wanted from childhood. I like him, so of course he will like me, otherwise, I will destroy him. That’s it.” Dean declared righteously with eyes were full of malice. Because he was Changdi Qing, the whole world should revolve around him, and no one can disobey him.

Zhuo Yang was speechless. “Oh, that’s simply a robber’s logic.”

In his eyes now, Dean is completely crazy.

“I’m a robber, so what? Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Even if he doesn’t like me, didn’t he still stay by my side for so many years? Won’t he still only accompany me in the future?” As Dean spoke, he walked to a rectangular transparent object in the center of the spaceship very affectionately, and looked at the person sleeping inside obsessively.

It’s good, Xue Zhanting will always belong to him.

Zhuo Yang and Winston didn’t notice it until Dean walked over. The transparent rectangular object was an ice coffin, and the person sleeping in the ice coffin was Xue Zhanting, who had been dead for 60 years…

Really perverted, Dean actually kept Xue Zhanting’s body like this for 60 years.

Winston and Zhuo Yang were disgusted.

Winston suddenly thought of something. “You were the one who executed Xue Zanting one minute earlier. Was the fact that Xue Zhanting’s wife is the daughter of an arms dealer also revealed by you? And leaked those rumors that because Xue Zhanting quantum beast is a five-clawed blue dragon, he will subvert the royal family and take over the world?”

After seeing Dean’s true face, he recalled many things back then and found many doubts.

 

“That’s right, you finally reacted? Emperor Winston, you are really slow!” Dean had completely torn off his own mask, and generously recognized it. “I released those rumors that he was a real dragon., with the fate to subvert the royal family and take over the world, originally hoping that he would rebel and overthrow the Osphia royal family. He will be the emperor of the new era and I will be the queen… It’s a pity that he was too loyal to the empire, patriotic and loyal to you. No matter what, he refused to rebel, and failed his five-clawed blue dragon quantum beast… Later, he refused my courtship to be with another guide, so I had to let him die!”

This was quite an understatement.

Zhuo Yang and Winston were shocked.

Especially Winston, he had no idea that many of his decisions over the years were made under Dean’s interference, without his knowledge… It was terrible.

Zhuo Yang looked at this man and felt horrified. “It’s a terrible nightmare to be liked by you!”

He didn’t know what his deceased grandfather did to be liked by such a perverted madman.

“It’s enough as long as he belongs to me.” Dean was very satisfied with the current situation, and never regretted killing Xue Zhanting.

Zhuo Yang looked at him and sneered. “You are wrong, you never got him, and he never belonged to you. What you have now is just his body. The most precious thing in a person is his soul, and his soul never belonged to you. He never loved you even for a moment… and now, he was reunited with my grandmother in heaven 60 years ago.”

“If he knew about you, he will only feel disgusted when thinking of you.” Zhuo Yang stated.

Feelings requires cultivation, and to hope the other party can be happy and joyful…

Dean’s feelings towards Xue Zhanting aren’t love at all, but a perverted possessiveness.

“Grandma? I almost forgot, you are that woman’s grandson?” Dean seemed to remember that Zhuo Yang was Xue Zhanting’s grandson. Walking up to him, he raised Zhuo Yang’s chin with his hand. “Your self-righteous face, that long-winded speech is exactly the same as your disgusting grandmother, Your Highness…”

He patted Zhuo Yang’s face lightly, full of disgust. “However, you’d better not anger me easily. I’ll leave your body intact due to my affection for your grandfather. Otherwise, I will make you die ugly.” He threatened.

“Ha-” Zhuo Yang sneered.

“My lord, my lord it’s not good. The crown prince led the army to surround us.” Just at this moment, one of Dean’s men came to report.

Dean was not surprised that Moodys reacted so quickly, and directly ordered: “Don’t worry, he doesn’t dare to touch us. Help me get in touch with Moodys.”

“Yes.” Dean’s subordinates are very obedient.

Moodys was obviously very anxious. As soon as Dean’s communication came over, his connected it  almost immediately. “Dean Bricania, what are you trying to do? Where’s my father and what about Zhuo Yang-”

“Moodys, my good nephew, if you still want your father and your crown princess to live, let me leave Osphia safe and sound, and I will let them live. Otherwise, if my life is ruined now, I will have no choice but to bring the respected Emperor and His Highnesses to the grave with me.” Before Moodys could finish speaking, Dean casually interrupted.

Moodys frowned. Even if he saw Zhuo Yang and Winston through the projection, he didn’t dare to let go, and almost immediately agreed to Dean’s request. “You let my father and Zhuo Yang go, and I promise to let you leave Osphia.”

“Moodys—”

“Moodys!”

Zhuo Yang and Winston said in unison, both disapproving of Moodys agreeing to Dean’s conditions. Dean is a poisonous snake. If they let him go, he will come back and do harm again.

Moody’s heart tightened when he heard their voices.

“No, your promise, I can’t rest assured.” Dean refused Moodys’s request. “At least, you have to keep your people away for a while until I leave Osphia. Only when it is completely safe can I return themto you. Otherwise, without these two hostages, I am too unsafe, and who knows if you will let me go.”

Moodys said very anxiously: “I guarantee on my name and character that if you let my father and Zhuo Yang go, I will let you leave Osphia and not die.”

“Moodys!” Zhuo Yang and Winston shouted in unison.

“Zhuo Yang, Father.” Moodys gritted his teeth. “Dean Bricania, let them go!”

“Moodys, good nephew, uncle also wants to believe in your character. After all, you are quite outstanding across the entire Osphia, but uncle really doesn’t want to die, and cherishes his little life… So, I won’t let people go until I reach the border.” Dean replied carelessly.

When the words fell, he suddenly looked at Zhuo Yang and Winston very fiercely. “Otherwise…”

“What do you want to do?” Moodys was immediately taken aback, lest he would tear faces with him.

“I won’t do anything, don’t worry. I still want to live, so I won’t kill them. Immediately, let your people retreat to a safe distance and stop chasing us…” Dean fiercely raised Zhuo Yang’s chin. ” Otherwise, in the end your father is related to me, so I won’t do anything to him. But your crown princess, he can’t keep his beautiful face…”

“Don’t you know the burns of zerg venom? You were troubled by it for 20 years, and should know very well it can’t be cured. If you don’t retreat, I will pour it on your crown princess’s face… Don’t know if you will still love him so much if he loses his good-looking face?” Dean threatened.

Zhuo Yang shouted: “Moodys, don’t believe him!”

Dean had already taken out the zerg venom and was about to pour it on Zhuo Yang’s face.

Moodys was taken aback immediately, and promised: “I’ll retreat… I’ll retreat right away, don’t hurt him!”

Dean cut off the communication without waiting for Moodys’s words to finish. After being threatened, Moodys also immediately ordered his people to retreat to a safe distance that could still monitor, but not catch them. He followed behind and began to let Dean’s spaceship fly out of Emperor Star, the inner galaxy, and slowly towards the border.

As they got closer to the outside world, Zhuo Yang became more and more anxious.

Dean’s spaceship is a miniature spaceship that is easy to conceal. There is no surveillance outside Osphia, and once he hides away, the people of Osphia will no longer be able to find them.

Moreover, his intuition told him that Dean would never let him and Winston go back…

Zhuo Yang was extremely uneasy.

No, he can’t sit still. He has to figure out a way…

In the midst of everything, Zhuo Yang suddenly thought of when he was almost raped when he was younger. He used his mental power to manipulate more than a dozen sentries to kill each other back then.

Maybe, he can try again.

Zhuo Yang looked at Dean’s team of guides, and suddenly had a plan in his heart.

Just when Dean’s spaceship traveled to the Heart of the Rose, and was approaching Jiuwei Star, when their vigilance was loosening, Zhuo Yang used his mental power to control Dean’s men, commanding them to untie the restraints on him and Winston, and attacked Dean.

Dean is startled by his own attack.

Zhuo Yang immediately went to grab control of the spacecraft, and urgently commanded it to head to Jiuwei Star nearby, wanting to make an emergency landing.

Jiuwei Star is Feng Bai’s territory, and they will not be completely controlled by others when they land on Jiuwei Star.

Dean kicked the two sentinels who were grabbing him, and pressed a control button.

The sentries who were mentally manipulated by Zhuo Yang stopped immediately and started to attack Zhuo Yang again.

Dean didn’t believe in people. After many years of human experiments, the subordinates he took away had chips that obeyed his orders in their brains, so Zhuo Yang couldn’t control them for too long.

“I can’t believe it, crown princess, you still have such ability. I almost let you run away.” Dean looked at Zhuo Yang and sneered. “However, even if you have such ability, it’s useless. You are destined to fail.”

Zhuo Yang had just set up the emergency landing procedure. When he saw several sentries rushing towards him, he subconsciously wanted to run.

But he was blocked by Xue Zhanting’s ice coffin, and was forced to run into Xue Zhanting’s ice coffin. The sentries rushed forward and wanted to capture him back and imprison him again.

Zhuo Yang struggled desperately, and while he was kicking and kicking in a hurry, he didn’t know what device on the ice coffin was touched.

“Di-” With a sound, Xue Zhanting’s ice coffin opened.

Xue Zhanting has been dead for 60 years. His corpse needs a special environment to remain intact and lifelike… The moment the ice coffin was opened, air touched Xue Zhanting’s corpse, and in an instant, the corpse quickly withered…

In just an instant, it shattered into slag, becoming dust.

“Ah—” Dean screamed when he saw this, and rushed over, subconsciously trying his best to grab Xue Zhanting’s body. But it was too late.

Xue Zhanting’s body was completely destroyed. He only caught the shapeless sand in one hand and the ashes mixed with broken bones in the other…

Dean groped the ashes desperately, and in the end he only caught a piece of bone debris less than the size of an egg. He grabbed the broken bones and rushed towards Zhuo Yang hysterically. “I’m going to kill you, I’m going to kill you! Zhanting—”

He recklessly grabbed Zhuo Yang’s neck, and had the intent to perish with him.

Zhuo Yang was dizzy, his face was ashen from being choked. Unable to breathe, he almost felt like he was about to suffocate to death.

Just when Zhuo Yang thought he was about to die, the spaceship suddenly stopped. As soon as the spaceship landed, the door of the spaceship opened automatically.

Moodys rushed in immediately with his people, pulled away Dean, and surrounded Dean and his party.

As early as when Dean’s spaceship swayed from side to side and suddenly changed route, Moodys felt something was wrong, and immediately had people speed up…

Sure enough, Dean and the others did not send a warning, but swayed and fell onto Jiuwei Star.

“Zhuo Yang, Zhuo Yang…” Moodys hugged Zhuo Yang, who was almost unconscious, and his heart missed a few beats.

On the side, Dean didn’t realize that he was caught. Like a madman, he clutched onto Xue Zhanting’s broken bones, crying: “Zhanting, don’t, don’t leave me…”
