My queen is rebelling!

Cohen received a message from Prince Haug, he's back!

And he didn't come back alone, he also brought back the Lord High Judge's close partner, that slave-catching leader named William.

Three Gold-ranked individuals naturally couldn't snatch someone away from a Legendary transcendent.

Prince Haug, after tracking them to a rural villa in the Kingdom of Ceylon, took action ahead of them and secretly took William away.

In the dim interrogation room, William looked at the few people watching him like prey with a look of horror.

Two beautiful, almost unreal women and a mysterious man wearing a mask.

William swore that in all his years of smuggling female slaves, he had never seen such top-quality women as the two in front of him.

However, he didn't dare to have any lustful thoughts now, fear gripped his heart like an invisible hand.

The source of the fear was the young man with the mask next to these two beautiful women.

The young man was observing him with great interest, his eyes flashing with the excitement and curiosity of seeing prey.

It seemed that in his eyes, he was just a stray dog that could be slaughtered at any time.

William had just seen that the Legendary transcendent who had captured him was taking orders from this young man!

He couldn't help but speculate wildly about what kind of identity this young noble who could command a Legendary rank was.

Even his old partner, Gore, the current Lord High Judge of the country, couldn't command a Legendary rank so easily, right?

When did he offend such a person?

Also, the handwritten letter that the mysterious Legendary forced him to leave also made him a little confused.

He originally thought that the other party was a member of Baron Gore, the Lord High Judge, but judging from the content of the letter he was forced to leave, it didn't seem like it.

Asuna and Nafertiti obviously already knew what William had done.

Hearing that William had been captured and brought back, these two women had taken the initiative to ask to come and interrogate him together.

Asuna said fiercely:

"Why is Master still keeping him around? I say, chopping him up and feeding him to the dogs would be too good for him."

William widened his eyes in horror, unable to believe that such a beautiful woman could say such words.

Cohen waved his hand slightly and said to William:

"Do you know why you were brought here?"

William shook his head and said:

Alright, Asuna, since we arrested the wrong person, then this person is yours."

As Cohen was about to leave.

William instantly felt a chill rise from his back, this beautiful woman suddenly exuded the aura of an unparalleled ferocious beast.

A feeling of near-death made him shout out immediately:

"I'll talk, I'll talk!"

William didn't resist to the end.

After all, the other party was willing to dispatch a Legendary rank, and persisting in not speaking would only lead to more suffering.

Although his cultivation was average, only at the Silver level, he had traveled north and south and was very knowledgeable.

He knew that there was a kind of spell that could directly search the soul, and he didn't want to try it.

Cohen asked in a cold voice:

"Speak, tell me everything about the good deeds you and Gore have done together before."

Seeing that the other party directly named Gore, William dispelled the last trace of denial and told everyone about his sins.

Asuna and Nafertiti's faces became more and more gloomy as they listened.

Cohen suspected that if he wasn't here, William would have been burned to ashes by Asuna long ago.

"...I admit I'm guilty, but these things were all forced on me by that bastard Gore.

I was smuggling normal goods before, but he said that some nobles in Florence liked to play those exciting tunes, and asked me to bring a few back next time.

That's how I gradually embarked on a path of no return.

I swear, I haven't touched any of those female slaves, they were all sent to your Effien officials and nobles by Gore."

Cohen's voice was as indifferent as ice:

"Do you have any evidence?"

William shook his head:

"It's all gone, Gore forced me to destroy all the evidence after he rose to prominence.

He even silenced my former subordinates.

If it weren't for the sake of our many years of friendship, I would have been sent to hell by him long ago."

Cohen sneered:

"You still have a good sense of self-awareness!

But since you don't have any evidence, then you're of no value to me.

Like you said, prepare to go to hell."

Cohen's nonchalant tone made William's heart contract violently, and he understood that the other party was not joking.

He quickly said:

"I remembered, there's still a list that hasn't been destroyed!"

Cohen's eyes moved slightly: "What list?"

William said softly:

"Gore is sometimes busy and doesn't have time.

Therefore, I personally sent some female slaves to the residences of some nobles and officials in Effien.

I secretly wrote down the list, and Gore didn't know about this list when he destroyed the evidence at the time."

Cohen's eyes lit up, unexpectedly there was an unexpected gain.

The value of this list is no less than that of the 'Hundred Officials' Records'.

Cohen was worried that he had no way to mix sand into the Florentine court, but with this list, there should be a lot of things that can be done.

Under duress, William honestly handed over the list.

Cohen took the list and said to Nafertiti:

"Did you record the scene of William accusing Gore just now?"

Nafertiti nodded.

Cohen suddenly smiled:

"Mr. William, I want to congratulate you on something."

William's face was pale, and he asked in a trembling voice:

"Wh...what is it."

Silver light flashed in Cohen's hand, and an ancient book appeared in his hand.

Opening a page, inputting magic power, a winding black snake mark appeared on the page.

His voice carried a hint of a smile:

"Congratulations on becoming the first human to travel the abyss of the underworld in a soul body!"

As soon as the words fell, William's eyes widened, his eyes full of horror.

As if he had seen an extremely terrifying scene.

The facial muscles were tense, as if frozen in fear, every line telling of the extreme fear in his heart.

Soon, a transparent soul body was squeezed out of his body.

Cohen opened the 'Book of Time and Space', a suction force erupted, and William's soul was swept into the abyss of the underworld!

Soon, William's body swayed, and a flattering voice sounded:

"Great master, you actually control the path to the underworld, the humble Akdimon can't express the admiration in his heart for you."

Noticing the strange gazes of the two beautiful women, Cohen coughed in embarrassment and said:

"Akdimon, get familiar with your body these two days, don't make mistakes and let people see the difference!"

"Yes, master!"

...

As soon as Hermann arrived at work today, he found that the atmosphere was unusually strange.

Everyone had a cautious expression on their faces, and the air seemed to be frozen.

The office, which was usually full of whispers, was now as silent as death.

Even walking back and forth, they couldn't help but stick to the ground, not making a sound.

Soon, Hermann learned the source of all this from several colleagues.

Their boss, His Excellency the Cabinet Minister and Lord Chancellor, was in a terrible mood today.

It was said that in the morning, he had already harshly scolded a clerk for closing the door too loudly.

Hermann naturally knew what had happened. It seemed that the three Gold-rank transcendents from the DuPont family had brought back the bad news to His Excellency the Lord Chancellor.

Hermann's face remained impassive as he secretly pondered in his heart.

His Majesty's methods are truly remarkable, to be able to accomplish even such a thing, replacing a person's soul?

Could it be that His Majesty has talent from the Netherworld Hell by his side?

Hermann glanced at his office. Not far away, there were several secretaries like him, pretending to be engrossed in reading materials.

He chuckled inwardly. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before his office had fewer people.

To have an independent office in the country's highest judicial organ before the age of forty, that is the allure of power!

The newest novels are first published on 69shu吧!

He picked up a document and, amidst the complex gazes of the others, knocked on Gore's office door.

… …

Gore's large office originally had a large floor-to-ceiling window, but now he had pulled all the curtains down.

The heavy gray curtains blocked the sunlight, not a single ray of light could penetrate.

He had also turned off the lights in the room, and he sat alone in the corner of the room.

Darkness enveloped him, his eyes filled with deep fear, as if countless evil spirits were hidden in the surrounding darkness, ready to devour him at any moment.

Gore tried hard to control his emotions, but his body still trembled uncontrollably.

His hands gripped a hastily written letter, the familiar handwriting on it causing him to grind his teeth, the fear in his heart surging like a tide—

"… … I have always been unwilling to think that we would have this day, but I didn't expect you would really attack me!

Gore Philip, it is said that once an official gets too high, he is no longer the same species as the common people, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Thirty years of friendship are worthless in your eyes.

You've probably forgotten that I was the one who cleaned up the mess for you with the first female student you played with at law school!

But none of this matters anymore, I will personally watch you fall from the pinnacle of power into an abyss of condemnation!

Gore, enjoy your last good times!

I heard that your superior is a stunningly beautiful queen. I wonder if you will feel better if you die in her hands!"

William's handwritten letter made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

William had actually been rescued first!

Who made the move?

Was it a new nobleman he had climbed up to in recent years?

Or… …

Gore was unwilling to think about the last possibility. Could it be that he was taken away by Prince Haug?

If Gore really fell into the hands of Prince Haug, then he might as well slit his own throat now, perhaps he could suffer less!

A bunch of trash from the DuPont family.

They swore that there would be no problem, that the whereabouts could not be leaked.

And the result?

He was like a frightened rabbit at this moment, his mind in chaos.

One moment he frequently recalled the days when he was surrounded by people and flattered, and the next moment he thought of Her Majesty the Queen's cold and frosty face.

One moment he was a high-ranking cabinet minister and national judge, and the next moment he was a criminal being escorted to the execution ground.

The silent torment almost drove him to collapse.

At this moment, a knock sounded on the door.

Gore instinctively wanted to open his mouth and curse.

But he quickly calmed down.

He had already lost his composure when he first entered the office. The more he acted like this, the more guilty he would appear.

He forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

"Enter."

Hermann narrowed his eyes slightly when he came in, the room was actually dark.

Gore got up and pulled open a corner of the curtain, a few rays of sunlight shone in, illuminating his pale and bloodless face.

Hermann raised his eyebrows slightly and sighed in his heart.

How infinitely glorious a person is when he gains power, and how hysterical he will be when he is about to lose it.

What a poor man, but don't worry, I will bring you good news!

When Gore saw that it was Hermann, he cheered up slightly and said:

"What's the matter?"

Hermann looked serious and said:

"Your Excellency, I have obtained some new information from my old acquaintance!"

Flames instantly ignited in Gore's eyes, and without regard for hierarchy, he stepped forward and grabbed Hermann's hand, saying nervously:

"Brother, what news have you received!"

Brother!

A nearly seventy-year-old cabinet minister, national judge, and hereditary baron, holding the hand of a thirty-year-old, insignificant civilian secretary, calling him brother!

Could there be a more absurd and bizarre scene in this world than this?

Hermann's face showed an appropriate look of restraint, and he said in a low voice:

"Your Excellency, you are too kind."

Gore also realized that he was a little out of control, let go of his hand, but his eyes were still fixed on Hermann.

Hermann said slowly:

"According to my old acquaintance, Prince Haug has not left Effien recently.

Moreover, he seems to be sending people to the Kingdom of Ceylon to find that William."

Light reappeared in Gore's eyes.

Fortunately, it's not the worst outcome.

Gore no longer had the mind to worry about anything else.

Judging from the information investigated by Gutavo, Hermann was trustworthy.

At this point, he no longer concealed anything, handed the letter in his hand to Hermann, and said:

"Take a look, this person has escaped after all.

Theodore is a piece of trash… …"

Hermann pretended not to hear the last sentence, and pretended to read the letter that he had conceived some of the wording for.

After a moment, he calmly analyzed:

"Your Excellency, in my opinion, as long as William does not fall into the hands of Prince Haug, then there is still room for maneuver."

Hermann's voice had a reassuring magic, and Gore gradually calmed down.

Hermann continued:

"William is just a foreign commoner, and he has also left a disgraceful record in Effien. It is definitely impossible to slander Your Excellency through official channels… …"

Gore said quickly:

"Yes, slander, it's slander!"

Hermann's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and then he said:

"Then he only has the trick of stopping the carriage to appeal.

But he wants to slander the Cabinet Minister, the National Judge.

Ordinary people dare not take this case, maybe he will file a complaint, and we will get the news immediately.

William also knows very well that he only has one chance, so he will be very cautious.

Moreover, from the wording of the letter he left behind, it can be seen that he should want to appeal directly to Her Majesty the Queen!

Only Her Majesty the Queen cannot tolerate this kind of thing, don't you think so?"

Gore said repeatedly:

"Yes, that's the way it is!"

Hermann continued:

"But Her Majesty the Queen is not so easy to see!"

Hermann's analysis made Gore feel that he had vaguely grasped something, but he couldn't remember it!
