Novel Bin Chapter 644 - Never Give Up on You (2)
At this moment everyone’s attention had fallen onto the indicated person’s body and none of their faces were looking very good. Its too obvious the news wouldn’t be good.
“Sire, we have failed the mission you gave us.” Not daring to look up, the shadow guard hangs that head almost to the floor.
Because of their clone being effectively killed by Bai Xiachen, the person here was extremely weak and could faint at any moment. If not for his absolute loyalty and urge to report the critical news to Di Cang, he would’ve lost consciousness like the rest of his comrades who went after Bai Yan’s life.
“Mission? When have I given you any mission?” All emotionless in his face, Di Cang raises an inquisitive eyebrow and asked.
“Huh?” Stunned by that, the shadow guard then replied in earnest without leaving a single detail out. “Sire, did you not send us on a mission to kill the queen? During the exchange, we could’ve killed her and retrieved the prince. But His Highness suddenly exploded with strength right after we inflicted a wound on the queen, that’s why I’m here to report our failure.”
Kill the queen?!
Exploding with unbridled fury from within, Di Cang instantly stepped forward to make a grabbing hold around his subordinate’s collar: “What did you just say?”
Blinking at his lord’s appearance, the shadow guard truly didn’t know what’s going on. Shivering all over: “I’m sorry my king, we are incompetent and couldn’t kill the queen, please punish us.”
Bang!
Unable to endure another word of this, Di Cang directly slams his subordinate to the ground and actually left a huge crater from the impact blow. Blood now seeps out of the guard’s mouth due to adding injury to injury.
It wasn’t just the demon lord here who’s livid to the bone either, there were many others as well. Di Xiao Wan being the first and foremost. The demon princess only thought the substitute wanted to get rid of Bai Yan, she never expected him to send assassins after her sister-in-law.
“Impudent scoundrel!” The second elder suddenly rushed up and slashed down at the substitute’s shoulder with a knife he took out from the sleeve. Next moment an arm now flies and blood sprayed the air, dying the senior’s robe in the process.
“You not only used me while pretending to be the king, you also impersonated His Majesty’s order and sent a death order for the queen?! Even if we turn you to ash right now it would still not satiate our anger for you and that whore!”
Due to the intensity of his emotions, trickles of tears ended up leaking out the corner of the senior’s eye, indicating how humiliated and shameful this second elder felt.
This is all my fault! If it weren’t for me and my foolishness then the queen and prince wouldn’t have left. If they didn’t leave then none of this could’ve happened!
Back over in the crater the shadow guard still didn’t know what’s happening at first; however, as soon as he heard the cries from the elder, he immediately realized what he’s done. In that second, it was if the soul had been sucked out of that body.
The previous king… is a fake?
In other words, the order to kill the queen didn’t come from the king and is a lie!
Scared to the point where he’s shaking sweat, the shadow guard felt like his whole world’s about to collapse. He knows, regardless of it being his units’ fault or not, the shadow guards would never again exist after today.
Climbing up from the impact crater, he grovels before his lord and master to await the impending punishment.
“I’ve said it before: my wife comes first before me. Whoever dares to bring harm to her or violate her order will face only one ending and that is death!” Sure enough, Di Cang didn’t care what reasons these people have, he only knows they’ve all harmed Bai Yan and that’s the only thing he needs.
