Chapter 180: Ivyst, I am Very Disappointed in You (Two in One)
When Lynn suddenly saw a crowd appearing before his eyes, he honestly felt a bit confused.
In his mind, today's public inquiry was supposed to be more serious. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire
Unexpectedly, Councilman Blake directly brought a group of people to the door of his cell.
The reason Lynn put up this display was actually to warn those who wanted to harm him in secret.
That's why he made such a bloody, murderous spectacle.
Although the result seems better for now, Lynn actually didn't want to expose his brutal side to certain people.
For instance, Eleanor, who liked to cry, was now sobbing.
Fortunately, her brother was ultimately unharmed, otherwise, she would have almost passed out.
Another example was Tiya, who was straining to look over from the back of the crowd, her face pale and tense.
After exchanging glances with Lynn, even Tiya herself didn't realize a trace of relief flickering in her eyes before her gaze coldly shifted, seemingly intentionally.
Only Ivyst breathed a long sigh of relief.
Moreover, upon seeing Lynn now soaked in blood, his muscular and tall figure, a hint of crimson faintly appeared on her face.
She hadn't expected her lovely obedient dog to have such a wild side.
He really had grown up... in every sense.
Her pink tongue gently brushed over the corner of her lips, a fiery glimmer in her eyes.
Aside from Ivyst's group, others such as the Great Imperial Princess Hillena and Councilman Blake showed an unprecedented disbelief.
Especially Fourth Prince Joshua, who now looked as if he had swallowed a dead fly, his previously carefree demeanor completely vanishing.
As if... he had seen something out of a fantastical tale.
In this world where Extraordinary Abilities and Divine-given factors decided everything, people's own physical strength was the least significant factor and rarely cultivated.
Most people relied on the nature of their Extraordinary Abilities and enhancements from the Divine-given factors to increase their strength.
And once these were abandoned, even though the essence of their lives had evolved making them stronger than ordinary people, this strength was still limited.
At least under the circumstance where Extraordinary Abilities are restricted, even a Fifth Rank Legend would drown in the back-and-forth slaughter of the battle lines.
After all, two fists can't stand against four hands.
This was universally acknowledged.
However, now, a terrifying record of fighting one against thirty-something was starkly presented before everyone.
Even if subconsciously unwilling to believe, the blood-soaked facts were right in front of their eyes.
Realizing that judging from the build, those prisoners killed by Lynn were all brawny, muscular men.
Even if each struck Lynn with a single punch, it would have battered his body halfway to death.
It was unimaginable that they had all been killed by this dark-haired youth.
What terrifying strength was hidden within that seemingly fragile body?
And, where exactly had he learned these battle skills?
For a moment, everyone was speechlessly silent.
"..."
Seeing everyone still looked as if they had seen a ghost, Lynn couldn't help but shake his head.
After briefly making eye contact with Ivyst to reassure her, and casting comforting glances towards Eleanor, Aphia, and Tiya at the very back of the crowd, he then leapt down from atop the pile of corpses.
The moment he landed, four resolute substitute punishers appeared at the door, seemingly wary of this dangerous individual before them.
Seeing this, Lynn rolled his eyes.
"Relax," he said helplessly spreading his hands, "what happened here is not what I wanted, but someone is trying to frame me."
"Also, before Councilman's interrogation begins, can I take a quick shower? I'm covered in blood, and it's a bit uncomfortable with all the stickiness."
...
After changing to a clean interrogation room, Tiya stood in the least noticeable corner of the crowd, looking somewhat dazed.
At this moment, her face was pale as if she had just experienced an ideological shock.
A few minutes ago, the moment the cell door was opened and she saw Lynn was safe and sound, she unconsciously heaved a deep sigh of relief.
Then, Tiya subconsciously turned her gaze towards Xiya standing next to her.
Because at this moment, everyone was off guard, and Xiya didn't know he had hypnotized Lynn and learned some inside information.
Thus, his innermost real thoughts were distinctly visible on his face.
It was an expression mixed with regret and remorse.
As if lamenting why that guy hadn't died in the violent prison outbreak.
Tiya's heart instantly chilled.
No matter how she had previously made excuses for Brother Xiya, the incidents that occurred were vividly before her eyes, undeniable and irrefutable.
The only possibility was that the guy under hypnosis had spoken the truth.
Moreover, this should have been already assumed.
It's just that Tiya was unwilling to face the reality.
And now, the truth was right before her.
The person she had admired, shining brightly and just like the sun, Brother Xiya who had once saved her from the depths of despair, was actually a sinister figure who commissioned murder in the dark.
Especially since the target was the person she felt immensely indebted to.
