Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 97 "Brother-in-Law Training Plan


"William, seize those two."

As Louis's voice fell, a daunting aura erupted from William's body. He thrust his longsword forward with a seemingly slow movement, yet it was like a cannonball.

In the eyes of everyone whose faces changed, it seemed this single sword could pressure everyone present to the ground, unable to move.

But next, something even more astonishing happened.

The previously timid and submissive brothel manager suddenly exploded with a near-exemplary power in a short burst of fury.

His eyes were fierce, like a frenzied beast about to devour someone. In the next moment, he...

Did not hesitate to want to turn and flee.

Then, without any surprise.

His body flew high and then lightly fell.

The tardy roar of the ancient beast sounded, William retracted his shield, like a giant ram's horn, and with his freed right hand grabbed the fleeing manager, slamming him hard to the ground.

For a moment, the entire brothel felt a slight tremor.

When William lifted the man again, he was already powerless.

Louis glanced at the other vendor locked by William's blue fortress-like "prison", looking innocent, and subconsciously pinched his brow.

"A season of turmoil!"

Just as Louis was thinking about how to take the people away, the city guards who had already charged into the shop surrounded them.

William, clad in iron armor, said muffled:

"Royal Guard at work, please brothers of the City Guard help control the scene."

There was a recognition method between the Royal Guard and the City Guard.

The City Guard's handling was slick, first controlling the scene, then confirming William's identity.

After finding the procedure was not problematic, they executed immediately.

Louis did not notice in the least that Olivia behind him had a subtly complex expression.

"Confusing state, you have clearly improved a lot, why do you want to go down this path again?"

Hand of Greed, it was the first greed-based ability Confusing State mastered before her rebirth.

Also one of Confusing State's most frequently used skills in previous lives.

The effect is based on the user's wealth to create a greed hand that can distort a force field.

The more wealth, the more dreadful the field generated by the Hand of Greed.

At his peak, Confusing State held the Imperial Treasury, like a ravenous beast with an insatiable appetite, wealth almost only entered but never went out.

Under such circumstances, his Grip of Greed reached an eye-popping level.

The maximum number of Hands of Greed deployed at once could reach up to 50.

The field limit of each hand could easily tear apart exemplary class strongmen.

Except for a few anomalies like the Imperial Sword Saint, Captain of the Royal Guard, regular exemplary class could not withstand Confusing State's clutches.

And the price Confusing State needed to pay... was stamina that could recover in just a few breaths.

Little Swan felt her teeth itching with rage.

In this life, she had quite a good impression of Louis.

After all, this life he really improved a lot, smart, capable, and talented.

But why does he insist on touching abilities with a boundless demand for wealth?

Even if offering up the entire continent's wealth, it is impossible to touch the limit of this power.

Endless greed only devours oneself.

Confusing State, bad!

Little Swan pouted.

"Will this guy awaken the Hall of Greed, Greedy Survival Desire, and that super dangerous ability again like in the previous life?"

"No way! Someone stop him, that's an abyss not to be touched!"

Suddenly.

Little Swan's eyes lit.

Didn't he just say he wanted to learn magic?

Oh yes, he first awakened the Greedy Desire for Knowledge!

Which means now he craves knowledge more than wealth.

"Teach him! Fill him with knowledge, and he won't be so hungry!"

Now confusing state and Sister Wang's matters are basically settled.

There's no point in the Prince's trial anymore.

So it's time to enter the next phase!

Olivia happily confirmed her new plan in her mind.

Let's call it... "The Prince Cultivation Plan!"

Hee hee hee!

I'm such a smarty.

While Confusing State is still indulgent towards me, maybe I can really pull him back onto the right path.

Truth be told, this life's Confusing State is exceptionally reliable.

If his attitude could be corrected, maybe...

Maybe I really wouldn't have to save the empire all by myself?

Thinking of this, Olivia got excited.

Every time she thought about having to drag Ense all by herself, she felt an itch in her head.

If there were options, please no to such things!

Thus, on this day, our Little Swan confirmed her new plan.

However, she probably temporarily has no time to think about how to advance the "Brother-in-law Cultivation Plan".

Because an eerie demonic whisper came from behind her.

"Ol~i~vi~a~ Your~High~ness~"

"Have you really thought through the cost of sneaking away?"

Little Swan instinctively swallowed:

"Sister Lumi, do you think I still have a chance?"

Lumi smiled like a neighborhood big sister: "Are you joking?"

...

[Location: City Lord's Mansion]

Marquis York looked at Louis, who was behaving obediently, and said with a headache:

"So, can you tell me exactly what happened?"

"There's no reason to capture people randomly; the order in Tino City has already been chaotic."

Louis took a deep breath and said:

"Lord York, do you remember the matter of the beauty we discussed before?"
