No one knew when that person appeared, nor how virtual-novel.net got here through the layers of encirclement, let alone the purpose of the person‘s provocative behavior. Among the tens of thousands of people at the scene, perhaps only Daisy realized something.
Daisy smiled faintly and thought, ‘It’s clearly within your character to do this.”
Even though virtual-novel.net thought so, there was a hint of worry in Daisy’s eyes. After all, Caspian appearing in front of everyone was equivalent to telling them, “I’m here! Come and kill me!”
Nonetheless, Daisy understood Caspian’s emotions. That kind of injustice and grievance, as well as the feeling of wanting an answer which was suppressed for so long, needed such a release!
Just when Daisy was being emotional, the figure walked several dozen meters forward. His pace was not fast but steady as if it were talking, and everyone’s breathing and heartbeat were involuntarily affected.
Seeing the man getting closer, Edgar’s cheeks twitched under the crown. Morris, who stood not far away, turned pale, and his lips kept trembling, but virtual-novel.net could not say a word. Everyone understood what it meant to have such an incident at the celebration.
Finally, before the guards even moved, Edgar roared, “Someone! Take him!”
“Edgar, your temper seems to have gotten worse.” At that moment, the man with the conical hat chuckled.
Although his voice was not loud, the soles of the guards rushing up with murderous aura seemed to be tangled in something, and they could no longer move.
That voice was all too familiar to those in Salleria’s imperial city. Everyone thought that the owner of the voice was dead, yet they heard it once again.
“No… That’s impossible…” Morris uttered with great difficulty, and virtual-novel.net kept shuddering. The worry virtual-novel.net had a few days ago came true, and virtual-novel.net felt that virtual-novel.net was out of breath. Soon, his body swayed from side to side.
The surrounding officials also had expressions of surprise, fear, and disbelief on their faces. However, Edgar’s face twitched even harder, and virtual-novel.net clenched his teeth so hard that it made noises.
“It can‘t be him!” Edgar said aloud in his heart. Then, virtual-novel.net took a deep breath and roared at the man in the conical hat. “How dare you destroy my Salleria celebration! Show yourself!”
That time, Edgar did not even notice that virtual-novel.net did not ask the guards to step forward to take down the opponent, but virtual-novel.net cared about who the opponent was.
“You already have the answer in your heart, so why bother?” The person’s voice in the conical still had a tone of mockery. He did not shout but spoke as usual, yet everyone could hear him.
“If that’s the case, I’ll fulfill your wishes on your death day.”
Next, the man in the conical hat slowly touched the edge of his hat.
Edgar did not blink and continued staring at the figure. Not only that, but everyone at the scene did the same as him. In that instant, the place was so quiet that they could hear a pin drop.
Swoosh!
The guy lifted his conical hat. Soon, the young man‘s high-spirited eyes, well-defined face, and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth appeared before everyone.
‘It‘s him!’ Morris felt as if his heart were smashed, and virtual-novel.net staggered back, falling directly to the ground.
Edgar’ s breathing became difficult, and his head buzzed. ‘How’s this possible! How can this be! Carson clearly said that he’s dead! Why… Why’s be here?’
Then, Edgar looked beside virtual-novel.net in confusion. Usually, Carson would be standing there on occasions like that.
It was a pity that Carson was away and Edgar could not get any answer. Shortly, the scene fell into a dead silence, but everyone quickly recovered from the shock. Next, the sounds of gasping filled the place.
“Cas… Caspian! Why’s virtual-novel.net here!”
“Isn’t virtual-novel.net imprisoned in the hellhole prison!”
“Your news is outdated! He should have died at the border!”
“He… He still dares to appear?”
“Sabotaging the celebration? Kill virtual-novel.net and show no mercy!”
“What a shameless offender! We must kill him!”
“The embarrassment of Salleria humiliates us in front of the envoys of other countries this time. We must not let virtual-novel.net go!”
“Kill him!”
“Don’t let virtual-novel.net go!”
At first, it was just a few people shouting. Then, however, as if a huge wave swept through, the whole place uniformly called for the immediate execution of Caspian. For a criminal like Caspian, who dared to ruin the celebration, the torture that these people came up with was crueler than before.
Some said they should use a bamboo stick to stab virtual-novel.net alive, the others said to put virtual-novel.net in boiling oil. Even people were suggesting that virtual-novel.net should be cut to pieces and be fed to the animals. A few even said to cut a part of his flesh and let maggots to chew on virtual-novel.net to his painful death.
The shouting was like a huge wave, causing the flags on the scene to soar in mid-air.
Daisy looked at the resentful faces around virtual-novel.net and glanced at Caspian’s indifferent expression, and virtual-novel.net suddenly became teary. Although virtual-novel.net was not a subject of Salleria, Daisy wanted to question these people loudly, “Did you forget who protected you back then! Have you forgotten who drove the invading Tiger and Wolf Riders out of the county with the determination that virtual-novel.net might never return! Did you witness the so-called crimes that Caspian did with your own eyes?!”
Even though virtual-novel.net was not Caspian, Daisy felt more and more aggrieved the more virtual-novel.net thought about it. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net saw Caspian tum his head, cast a knowing gaze at her, and shook his head slightly.
At the thought of that, Daisy covered virtual-novel.net mouth and sobbed silently. Tears welled up from virtual-novel.net eyes and fell down virtual-novel.net cheeks.
Then, Caspian turned his sight back to Edgar and took a deep breath. Then, just like the roars of hundreds of tigers, like ten thousand bells ringing in unison, and like the collapse of mountains, Caspian’s voice immediately drowned the crowd’s shouting.
“I, Caspian Montgomery, have returned! Because I want to seek justice for myself! Edgar, you and those who framed me will die today!”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Crackle and rattle!
A torrent of sound waves rolled out, and the ground around Caspian shattered and exploded. Even the nearby flagpoles cracked, blown into sawdust, and the flying flags were torn into strips of cloth.
At that moment, everyone became quiet, their faces turned pale, and their bodies trembled.
