A strange world

Chapter 1016 Chapter 247. King vs. King

"Master Olme? Sir? Sir Annan?"

The flattering call brought Annan back to his senses. In front of him was the face of the president of the Purification Court, smiling like a chrysanthemum.

"Lord Annan, I am yours..."

"Got it...huh? My people?" Annan then noticed what he said.

The president of the Purification Court leaned over: "I, I am also the blade of freedom..."

He was worried that Annan would kill him as well in order to be promoted and would have to take the initiative to reveal his identity.

Annan just looked at him with a smile: "You can't just say that you want to be the Blade of Freedom."

The president was sweating coldly. He really knew everything...

"I understand, I will let the people in my family change their habits..."

Annan nodded and watched the president leave.

"Are you going to let him go?" Maria asked.

"I'm not even the president of the branch. Even if I drag him out and kill him, the position of president will be an advantage to others."

And compared to other people, the president did not use the Freedom Blade to do anything he shouldn't have done - the Purification Court grabbed fewer freedom blades as it went back, and this president was indispensable.

"Let's see how he performs."

…

The president hurried back to the family and told Colin, the eldest son who managed the family business, to throw out all the business in his hands.

"Why? We just got the operating rights from the grain officer..."

"Some big shots expressed dissatisfaction with me because we stretched our hands too far."

Colin thought that his father was a congressman and the president of the Purification Tribunal. How else could he be a big shot, unless——

"Father, you...have you come into contact with the Freedom Blade?"

The president looked at his smart son with pleasure, patted his head when he was flattered, tilted his head and said to the housekeeper: "Lock Colin into the basement, take good care of him, and don't let him come out before spring comes."

"Father, you can't do this! Our family could use this opportunity to become a great noble!"

"I did this just for the sake of my family... The war between the Kingdom and Free City is not something we can participate in." The president shook his head and sighed.

"What's there to be afraid of in Free City, with those untouchables? They're not even as good as ratmen--"

"You have no idea what I encountered..."

That warlock, he actually dared to run to the new royal capital, right under the king's nose, and the king even summoned him...how dare he! ?

The president of the court did not think that Annan came to the new royal capital as a desperate act. He was too indifferent, as if he was playing a game with the kingdom.

He was afraid. Because of the unknown, I am afraid.

Colin was taken away by the housekeeper, and Colin's wife was revealed standing outside the door holding two cups of hot tea, showing concern.

"Don't worry, it's just a normal family matter." The president of the court and the housekeeper who had not left said, "Send her to stay with Colin."

The first thing the president of the court did when he took over the family affairs was to stop the business that his eldest son was talking about, spit out what needed to be vomited, and divest himself of the relationship that needed to be estranged.

It was obvious that the presiding officer was really scared, and he did it very thoroughly.

On the side of the Purification Court, he also expressed his affection for Mr. Olme, played by Annan: the branch president is vacant and there is no suitable candidate, so Annan is acting as the branch president for the time being.

Then he warned the dissatisfied judges that they were not someone they could afford to offend, and his position would belong to him sooner or later, so they should be honest.

Mr. Olme, who became the acting chamber president, didn't know how to rest, and then started processing the list that the chamber president bit out.

Those nobles who went too far and oppressed the common people were beaten by him as the blade of freedom, while the nobles who ran the Gray Gloves to do these things had their hands cut off - to eradicate the gangs.

Therefore, even if the military minister never talks about Olmei in his sphere of influence to avoid suspicion, many nobles would like him and frequently send this name to the palace.

The young king became increasingly interested in this young talent. On this day, the chairman of the parliament gave an unvarnished report on the dire situation in the north.

Crowe didn't care about this. His attention was all on Young Master Olmei: "Will you meet him on my behalf?"

"You are the king, you can summon him if you want."

"That's true... Then let him come to the palace." Crowe yawned again, "After I wake up... let him come to see me."

…

Soldiers from the Purification Court went in and out of the manor, escorting property and family members.

Annan stood at the door and seemed not to hear the women's cries. After all, the cries of the people they had oppressed were far more miserable than theirs.

When Annan was about to leave, there was a sudden shout.

"Evil man, go to hell!"

The girl rushed over with frivolous steps. The family members raised their heads with expectations, but were taken away with disappointment.

The attacker was blocked by his men before he could get past Maria.

"Young Master Olmei! You killed my father! I'm going to kill you!"

Annan looked at the struggling girl in confusion: "Who is your father?"

He had offended so many people that he couldn't remember who she was.

"Hoss, don't you remember?"

Annan then remembered the boss of Hoth whom he had dealt with when he first came to the new royal capital.

"You want to avenge your father?"

"He loved me so much, but you ruined it!"

According to the girl, Boss Hos is actually a good father...

Is this a conflict? Do not conflict. All nobles do it for their family and future generations.

"Because your father did something he shouldn't have done."

"He obviously didn't do anything! You killed him and framed him, you should be ashamed!" The girl seemed to be well protected and didn't know anything.

"I should indeed feel ashamed." Annan's words stunned the girl. "The families of the people killed by your father can no longer take revenge, but I actually let you live..."

The subordinate asked: "Sir, what are you going to do?"

"Throw it out."

Annan had no intention of implicating the murderer's family, but he also didn't have a good attitude toward her.

Leaving the stunned girl behind, Annan led his men back to the Purifying Court.

Outside the Purifying Court Church, the president was standing there with a group of soldiers. Through the gold emblem on their collars, Annan identified them as royal guards.

The messenger from the palace smiled and said: "Young Master Olmei, the king wants to see you."

Annan thought that this day would come later.

He nodded calmly: "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

The envoy looked at Annan and said, "That's fine. The king likes his subjects in uniform."

"I'll go with you." Annan tilted his head and said to Maria, "Go and tell my uncle that I'm going to the palace."

She is a rat, and following her to the palace will reveal her identity.

When Annan followed the president and the envoy to the palace, Maria also found the Minister of Military Affairs.

The Minister of Military Affairs quickly notified other high-ranking Free Blades to prepare themselves.

There is an undercurrent surging in the new royal capital. Even if the council leader sees it, nothing can be done. After all, Annan wants to meet with Crowe...

…

At this moment, Annan, who followed the messenger to the palace, saw the king sitting lazily on the throne.

His first words made the president tremble with fear.

"Your Majesty the King, we meet again."
