173 A FOLLOWER CAN BE A BETRAYER
Shao Yaoting continued to speak to the Emperor politely, but his mouth was actually not polite at all. The man wearing black hanfu even dared to ask the Emperor to leave the throne, and it seemed the way he politely spoke to the Emperor was just nonsense.
It seemed like someone was still greeting the Emperor politely, but that person dared to throw dirt on the Emperor’s face. Even if there was no real dirt in Shao Yaoting’s hands, such an analogy suddenly crossed Bai Chen’s mind, and he even stared at the head of the Black Werewolf Clan in disbelief.
‘In the end, his ultimate goal is to drag the Emperor down from his throne?’ He couldn’t help but wonder in his heart.
He knew that the Black Werewolf Clan had been in conflict with the White Werewolf Clan for many years, but he did not expect that the head of the Black Werewolf Clan could even take advantage of his daughter’s death to push the Emperor to the edge of a cliff.
‘Wait. Wu Jinhai told me that the incident that happened in the Forbidden Forest might not be simple, and he also didn’t want to immediately suspect Bai Guowei even though it was indeed the three men hired by him who had destroyed the barrier around the core of the forest. Did he say something like that because he suspected someone else? Does he... suspect Shao Yaoting of being the real mastermind?’
Suddenly, a bright light bulb shone brightly in Bai Chen’s head, and his blue eyes widened as he was able to get another meaning from Wu Jinhai’s deduction when they were still in Forbidden Forest.
The masked man didn’t give out details, but his mysterious demeanor was enough to tell Bai Chen that he did suspect someone else, and only now did Bai Chen find out who was on Wu Jinhai’s blacklist.
‘But I’m not so sure that it was indeed Shao Yaoting who had arranged everything in the Forbidden Forest. After all, his daughter was also in the forest, so he couldn’t just sacrifice his daughter to achieve his goals, could he?’ Once again, Bai Chen found another theory in his head, but he was still unsure about it, and that was why he didn’t believe it right away.
“You are ridiculous, Lord Shao,” Bai Guowei finally responded to Shao Yaoting’s request after he managed to regain his composure. “You don’t have any valid proof that I was indeed the mastermind who caused the tragedy in the Forbidden Forest, but you still dare to ask me to renounce my throne just because of your assumptions?”
.....
Bai Guowei even sat back on the throne as if trying to show that he wouldn’t be willing to leave his throne even for a second. The meaning behind his moves was too obvious, and Shao Yaoting even looked at him with hatred in his eyes as he watched how the Emperor was trying to secure his throne.
“The fact that you were the one who hired the three men who ended up breaking the barrier around the core isn’t enough to prove it?” Shao Yaoting questioned the Emperor. “The officials gathered in this hall also know about that fact, but you are still unwilling to admit that you are indeed the evil guy who has been hiding all this time?”
Shao Yaoting no longer pretended to be polite in front of the white-haired Emperor, and he even stopped using formalities to speak to the ruler of Dong Lang. Even his expression darkened as he continued to press the Emperor, and when he glanced at the officials gathered in the great hall, the officials tried to avoid his gaze.
Bai Guowei also glanced at the officials, and he had to admit that Shao Yaoting was quite clever with his reasons. His decision to hire several people to protect Shao Meihui during the events in the Forbidden Forest had been approved by the officials, so naturally, all the officials in the Zuigao Hall knew that he was the one who had hired those people before the Beast Hunting Event began.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
Taking another deep breath, Bai Guowei replied, “I did hire those people, but those people are from a mercenary group, and that’s possible if someone sabotages them. Someone might pay them more than me, and that’s why they decided to betray me and chose to listen to that person’s orders.”
This time, it seemed that Emperor Bai Guowei suspected someone, but he didn’t mention the person’s name directly. How the Emperor didn’t even dare to say a name caused everyone in the great hall to not immediately believe in the Emperor’s reasoning, and even Shao Yaoting sneered upon hearing how the Emperor was trying to defend himself.
“You can even say something like that?” Shao Yaoting asked the white-haired Emperor disdainfully. “You are the Dong Lang Emperor, and you are also the most powerful person in this empire. When you hire someone, that person will definitely be very afraid of you, and it is almost impossible for that person to betray you. We all know the facts, but you can even use that excuse as your self-defense?”
It seemed that Shao Yaoting still had sufficient confidence when he responded to Bai Guowei’s reasoning, and the tension within the great hall did not lessen in the slightest as the two people continued to attack each other.
And it could be seen that Bai Guowei’s jaw tightened when he heard Shao Yaoting’s counterattack, and he even clenched his fists as he tried to control his anger when he continued to receive slander in front of his officials.
“A follower can always betray the one they follow, Lord Shao. They can always be traitors,” Emperor Bai Guowei spoke again as he continued to furrow his brows at the black-robed man. “Even when I purposely give someone the opportunity to join the Imperial Palace using marriage, that person could also betray my trust and stab me in the back. Don’t you think such a thing is possible, Lord Shao?”
