Chapter 228: Kill Bill! (1)

Bill’s escape shocked the entire capital. The wedding banquet that they were preparing to celebrate turned into a citywide hunt.

Irene led the team and hurriedly searched the interior of the Golden Castle. After analysis, many people felt that Bill could not have gone far. There was a high chance that he was still hiding in the Golden Castle and could not walk out.

However, the royal guards had turned the interior of the Golden Castle upside down, but they could not find Bill. In the end, they could only accept this fact and report it.

Becky had fainted from anger earlier and only woke up after some treatment. He lay in bed weakly at this moment.

He had some hope at first, but when he heard the report from the guards, he could not help but be shocked and furious. His heart ached from anger, and he could not hold back his bearing. He roared for the guards to increase the search and control everyone in the Golden Castle to find out who was the mole who cooperated with Bill’s escape.

Orders were sent out one after another. The various teams of the Empire immediately acted, attempting to track down Bill’s whereabouts in different ways.

Just as the Golden Castle was in chaos, Shuni, who was supposed to be the main character of today’s wedding, was standing on the balcony in her gorgeous wedding clothes, silently looking at the chaotic scene below.

The banquet hall that had been carefully decorated was already in a mess. Broken bowls and plates were everywhere, as well as all kinds of food that had been trampled into meat paste.

“Bill, I hate you…”

Shuni’s eyes were red and swollen, and there were still tears on her face. Her hands, which were pressed against the railing of the terrace, were clenched into fists.

After receiving the Queen’s teachings yesterday, she thought about it for the entire night before she secretly made up her mind to live with Bill in peace after marrying him. She would work hard to capture Bill’s heart for the sake of the royal family and herself.

Today, she woke up early and changed into her wedding clothes before nervously for the wedding to begin, but she did not expect to finally receive the tragic news of Bill escaping

The first thing she did was to be stunned. Then, she felt wronged and disappointed. She covered herself with the blanket and cried, feeling angry as she sobbed.

After experiencing a series of emotions, she was only left with unwillingness and humiliation as she looked down at the chaos in the Golden Castle.

Bill would rather run away and be hunted by the royal family than marry her… Shuni couldn’t stop thinking about it.

She did not like or hate Bill. She knew that Bill might not have run away because of her, but her feelings had already been hurt. She only felt that this was a humiliation.

The biggest psychological difference was that no one cared about her current situation.

As soon as Bill ran away, everyone was looking for him. As a bride, she suddenly became ignored. No one cared about her feelings at this moment.

Even the King and Queen were too busy looking for Bill to comfort her, the bride who was supposed to marry and have a family today but had lost her groom.

It was as if she, the person involved, was air that was transparent.

Shuni bit her lower lip. She understood completely.

The smiling faces said their blessings, but in fact, in everyone’s hearts, she was just a tool to win Bill over. Now that Bill had run away, the tool had lost the meaning of being paid attention to and returned to its original position.

The King and Queen had also arranged this marriage for her out of exploitation. Even if there was a portion that was for her sake, it was only as a byproduct.

The next time she would receive attention was when she got betrothed again to a new stranger. Perhaps it would be a big shot in the tribe, or perhaps it would be another talent.

This way, she would benefit from it and be noticed again because of the value of her new marriage partner. Everyone would put on the same smile as they had for the past two months and congratulate her on having a “good marriage” or along the same line.

No one cared about her feelings. She was just a tool to win over others, a “benefit” that was allocated.

In the end, it was still because she was of little importance. The significance of the princess identity tag was greater than her entire being

At this moment, Shuni felt an unprecedented desire.

For power, for strength.

“One day, I want everyone to look up to me. They won’t ignore me anymore…”

Shuni wiped away her tears, took off her wedding clothes, and crumpled them into a ball before throwing them out of the balcony.

Pak!

Looking at the wedding dress falling heavily to the ground, she felt relieved, as if an invisible weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

The things that she cared about in the past no longer seemed important at this moment.

Those naive, childish, and carefree thoughts were all sealed away, leaving only a heart filled with desire.

The past me was dead, and a new me was born in this body.

And this only needed one tragic day.

The search of Bill continued from morning to evening

All the servants had been thoroughly investigated, but the group of tailor servants from last night seemed to have disappeared. Even after the head servant who arranged the work was interrogated, he still begged bitterly and explained that he knew nothing.

The patrol guards from last night were all questioned, but everyone insisted that they had never seen Bill hanging around the castle at night.

The court ministers and members of the royal family were all restrained and questioned about their connection to Bill.

Among them, the court ministers were the most suspicious. The King thought that there must be a mole who had helped Bill escape, otherwise it would be impossible for him to escape from the Golden Castle. Therefore, despite the panic and complaints of the ministers, he had the Golden Castle guards search their rooms directly and even seized the attendants of the ministers.

Roman had packed up all the clues before he decided to take action. Although he was closer to Bill, the guards could not find any evidence that he had helped Bill escape, nor could they torture the minister at will.

As for the residences in the various districts of the capital, they had all been kicked down by the city guards and searched. Even the residence of the minister was not spared. However, Roman’s stronghold property was not under his name, but belonged to the blood relatives of the different tribes left in the capital. These people had complicated backgrounds, but were all his allies, so it was difficult to trace them back to him.

In addition, the city guards of the capital were also gathered and interrogated if anyone had left the city last night.

The guard captain who had been paid to open the door last night was so scared that his legs went limp.

Originally, this was the unspoken rule of the guards. If they received money, they could violate the curfew and let the residents who missed the opening hours of the city gate leave the city at night. Usually, no one would expose them, but when such a big matter happened, no one dared to hide it.

The captain of the guards could not hide it even if he wanted to. He was directly reported by a group of colleagues and taken away as he cried and screamed.

Not long after, the gains from the search were completely gathered in the King’s hands.

The royal guards, city guards, and other higher-ups of the direct line of descent, led by Irene, were all gathered in the King’s bedroom.

Becky didn’t have the strength to go move to his study to listen to the reports. He sat on the edge of the bed and quickly listened to everyone’s report, his face dark.

He covered his heart and took a few quick breaths before he spoke angrily,

“Bill left of his own accord and wasn’t coerced by anyone. He has been confusing me during this period of time, but he actually wanted to escape long ago! I’ve never treated him badly, but he actually treated me like this!”

Irene hesitated.

“If you hadn’t pushed Bill so hard, maybe nothing would have happened…”

However, this kind of thought could only be thought about in one’s heart. After all, no one knew what Bill was thinking.

Becky said solemnly, “Bill is willing to give up the benefits I promised and run away with someone. Then the person who helped him must have offered a higher price than the royal family, but I haven’t thought of what it is yet. This force must have a need for Bill. They probably want him to work or they desire the new blood potion formula in his hand. These people have a huge scheme… I suspect it’s the various tribes. Only they have the ability to infiltrate the Golden Castle.”

When everyone heard this, they did not dare to speak.

Becky took another breath and said coldly,

“Do they think that by taking Bill away, they can keep it a secret forever… Get me information. As long as there are traces of the new blood potion in any city controlled by a tribe, Bill’s disappearance will most likely be related to that tribe. Ask them for him directly. If they dare not hand him over… Hmph!”

“What if new blood potions appear in many cities?” Someone could not help but ask.

“Then call them all to the capital for interrogation. Whoever doesn’t dare to come will have a problem!” Becky was furious.

As he spoke, he became agitated and his heart ached again.

Becky hurriedly panted and rubbed his chest. It took him a while to calm down.

He took a deep breath before speaking, “Now that Bill has left the city, he won’t be able to go far in one night. Inform the Imperial Hunters to move out immediately! They’re good at tracking. Find Bill!”

At this moment, Becky paused and gritted his teeth.

“If we can’t capture him and let him fall into the hands of others, then… kill Bill!”

Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.

He actually wanted to kill Bill…

The King was completely ignoring the backlash and acting on his own…

If he could not get him, he would destroy him. It was a pity that the other party was such a genius potion master.

With different feelings, everyone received the order and left.

001

Becky was left alone in the room. He could not sit still in the pain. He lay back on the bed, feeling indignant.

With Bill gone, the royal family could no longer monopolize the resources of the new blood potion. His plans were completely disrupted.

The opportunity to stabilize the royal family for another few decades was gone.

The future of the Empire and the royal family that he had dreamed of last night seemed to have disappeared.

And for some reason, Becky had a faint intuition that Bill’s departure would be a turning point in the Empire’s decline…

At the Imperial Hunter Base.

When they received the news that Master Bill had fled, many Imperial Hunters were equally shocked.

Bill had a high reputation among the hunters. His departure made many hunters feel complicated.

Just as the hunters were watching in shock, the King’s order for the hunters to pursue was quickly conveyed.

— Try your best to capture Bill… If you can’t, kill Bill on the spot!

Upon receiving this order, the Imperial Hunters exploded. The crowd was riled up and planned to disobey for the first time.

Many Imperial Hunters rejected this order from the bottom of their hearts. Even though Master Bill left, his achievements in improving the blood potion were real.

From the perspective of a hunter, they did not think that Master Bill’s unwillingness to serve the royal family was anything heinous. It was just a choice.

It was just that the royal family was furious that they had failed to monopolize the new potion. If they could not obtain it, they would want to kill such a master. In the eyes of the Imperial Hunters, this was simply a selfish and ridiculous act… As long as such a master was alive, there was a chance that he could improve the blood potion again. This was beneficial to everyone.

Now, the royal family placed the dirty and boring political struggle above the interests of everyone. The Imperial Hunters did not agree at all.

Even as Imperial Hunters, the word “Hunter” was more important. How could they attack a potion master who had given them the power to protect their people! Keriber stepped forward and comforted everyone before he persuaded the Imperial Hunters to carry out half of the orders. In other words, he sent a team to track him down and try to bring Bill back. Even if they failed, they would not kill him.

Only then did the Imperial Hunters reluctantly accept it. However, their morale was low, and they all planned to dawdle. Before long, dozens of hunters gathered at the entrance of the base, preparing to set off.

Keriber was not good at speed and had to stay in the headquarters, so he did not intend to move out together. And the commander of the tracking team was Jason.

Now, Jason had already secured his position. He could command a large number of Imperial Hunters, completely confirming his status as the second-in-command.

“Jason, it’s fine if you can’t catch up to Bill. If you do, you have to play it by ear.”

Before they left, Keriber patted Jason’s shoulder and instructed him earnestly.

Jason nodded, his tone calm.

“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t be able to catch up to him.”

Keriber was speechless.

It’s good that you understand, but there’s no need to be so direct…
