Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Without a doubt, the punishment Karson Jacobo mentioned was extremely severe.
Not only would the person die, but he would also be tortured for a hundred years before he died.
Braydon Neal’s lips curled up slightly. He slowly got up and handed the grapes to Karson. “Continue!” he said softly.
“Seal Deputy Commander Lestrange in ice and sink him in the South Sea. After the storm subsides, we only need to wait a year at most. When the world forgets about this matter, the capital will grant amnesty and Deputy Commander Lestrange will regain his freedom!”
Karson was calm and composed as he spoke of his solution.
The officials in the palace and the commissioners were clamoring to execute Channing Lestrange before Braydon arrive, and Karson was also saying that Channing’s crimes were unforgivable.
In actual fact, Karson had already thought of a solution and was waiting for Braydon to come.
Dominic Lowe, Kieran Normand, and the others looked at each other. The more they listened, the more shocked they became. They vaguely felt that something was wrong.
They were not the only ones who felt that something was wrong.
All the officials realized that something was wrong!
“Dominic, isn’t Commissioner Jacobo your disciple?” Zavier Leach rubbed his nose and asked in a low voice.
“Yeah, that’s not right!”
Dominic widened his eyes and looked at Karson in disbelief. “Karson, you…”
“Teacher, there has never been a precedent of a deputy commander falling in the Northern Army!”
Karson cupped his hands and expressed his attitude calmly.
The corner of Dominic’s mouth twitched. He did not expect the Northern Army to have infiltrated so deeply.
There were even people from the Northern Army among the commissioners.
“This is the first time in decades that I’ve seen Commissioner Jacobo’s favoritism!” Kieran said with some dissatisfaction.
State scholar Karson Jacobo.
He had once received praise from Dominic and the others, but they did not expect that he would be biased today.
“Everything I’m doing is for Hansworth,” Karson explained solemnly. “Channing Lestrange, the deputy commander of the Northern Army, is a supreme pinnacle. He is young and is one of the most talented people in Hansworth.
“Deputy Commander Lestrange is now under the Northern Army and is a brother of the commander. I will protect him no matter what!
“I believe that in the land of Hansworth, there is definitely more than just Deputy Commander Lestrange who is a supreme pinnacle. However, how many geniuses with such strength can be used by the country?
“A supreme pinnacle is the protector of a country. With just one of them, it would be enough to deter the hundred countries from invading our borders!
“For the sake of the country and the people, Channing Lestrange cannot be killed!
“The people that Deputy Commander Lestrange killed today were martial artists from the powerful families. The 72 powerful families colluded with foreign enemies forty years ago and murdered 700,000 men from the Ludwig Army.
“They dared to betray the country and bring disaster to Hansworth. Why can’t we kill them?
“I only feel relieved after killing 10,000 of their martial artists!
“I have always done everything for Hansworth. I have a clear conscience!”
The commissioner of Joronto, Karson Jacobo’s words resounded throughout the hall.
In his life, he did not seek fame and fortune. He once tried to persuade Braydon to kill all the aristocratic families in Joronto.
Braydon left the court with his hands behind his back. He said calmly, “Grand Secretary Lowe, I heard that the capital is choosing a new cabinet member for the cabinet. The Northern Army is recommending the commissioner of Joronto, Karson Jacobo. What do you think?”
“We still need to discuss this!”
Dominic could not agree directly.
Braydon stood in front of the palace door and stopped in his tracks without turning back.
Dominic’s eyelids twitched, and he immediately changed his words. “There shouldn’t be any problem for Karson to be promoted to the cabinet!”
Karson, who was recommended by the Northern Army, was promoted to the cabinet.
It was as if he was recommended by the elites of the Northern Army.
Among them were Braydon, Westley Hader, Frediano Jadanza, Jonah Shaw, and a few others.
If the Northern Army wanted to hold a position in the cabinet, Dominic would not be able to stop them.
Braydon left the hall.
The hundred officials instinctively heaved a sigh of relief.
Braydon’s arrival gave everyone a lot of pressure.
Ever since Braydon became the Northern King, the number of times he had come to the capital’s palace could be counted on one hand.
After becoming the Garrison King, this was the first time he had come to the capital’s palace.
At the same time, in the office building of the capital dark division.
Marvin Townsend’s face was laced with worry. He had a living ancestor in his building this time.
The deputy commander of the Northern Army was temporarily imprisoned in the dark division’s base.
“Harlan, have you made the arrangements?” Marvin sighed.
“Yes. You don’t have to worry too much. The commander will think of a way to settle this.”
Harlan Jones comforted Marvin.
Marvin sat on the chair at the head of the table and sipped his tea. His eyes lit up as he said softly, “The commander must have a reason for placing Deputy Commander Lestrange here. I’m wondering if the commander wants me to release Deputy Commander Lestrange privately.”
Harlan was shocked.
Harlan felt that Marvin’s guess was very likely correct.
The deputy commander of the Northern Army could not die in vain.
Not to mention that Channing had killed more than 10,000 martial artists of the powerful families, even if he had killed 100,000, so what!
“Let Deputy Commander Lestrange leave quietly,” Marvin said softly. “I’ll bear all the blame!”
“Are you going to use your own head to bear the blame?”
Outside the living room, Skylar Neal, who was wearing a ghost mask, came to the door with his hands behind his back.
Marvin and Harlan stood up at the same time to welcome him.
“Did the commander send you here?” asked Harlan directly.
“He was worried that the two of you would mess around, so he asked me to tell you that the capital has already come to a conclusion. They will announce it in an hour!”
Skylar told Marvin not to act recklessly.
“How does the capital plan to deal with Deputy Commander Lestrange?” asked Harlan.
“Be frozen for 300 years, sunk to the bottom of the South Sea, until he dies!” Skylar said calmly.
Marvin said in disbelief, “Being sealed in ice for 300 years? Suffering from extreme cold day and night? Sunk to the bottom of the sea and be enveloped by darkness until he dies? They might as well give Deputy Commander Lestrange a quick death!”
“You want to disobey my brother’s orders?” Skylar’s eyes turned cold.
Marvin’s expression was unsightly. He clenched his fists and said hoarsely, “I just can’t figure it out. Is there no other way?”
“There must be another way.”
Harlan stared at Skylar’s eyes and keenly sensed that Skylar was hiding something from him. He was not telling them.
With the Braydon’s personality, he would not agree to the capital doing this.
Marvin said in a low voice, “Back then, Harvey caused a lot of trouble in the capital. The commander stepped forward to protect him, but he was sealed in ice for three years as a punishment. Why hasn’t the commander stepped forward to protect Deputy Commander Lestrange?
“With the commander’s prestige, if he were to speak, none of the officials in the palace would dare to kill Channing Lestrange!”
Marvin just couldn’t understand why the commander didn’t step forward to protect Channing.
He was the deputy commander of the Northern Army!
He was a genius, a supreme pinnacle.
The Northern Army would prosper for six hundred years with the help of a supreme pinnacle.
