BXBX NOVEL Chapter 297: A plan to escape
Even the prophet didn't know what to say, he was 100 per cent confident in his ability but that meant that whatever Jayden said was true unless Jayden had found some kind of loophole, but that is also impossible.
Jayden didn't give him much time to think as he spoke: " Now tell me, do you think that the ability of the prophet is fake or not? If you think that this is not fake then tell me how was the bullshit I just spoke was all true? Also, I have a great clip to show everyone here. "
Saying that, he looked back at Jia and nodded at her, understanding what he wanted Jia smiled and injected Qi into her bracelet, and instantly a big picture was displayed in the air, with the help of her Qi, the image generated was very big and the sound was perfectly clear.
Under the curious gaze of everyone, the video started:
" When I was 14 years old, I drugged one of the girls, a- actually she was the daughter of a servant in o- our house cough cough and t- then I d- did that with her and when her family found her, m- my father killed her e- entire family. Then, after some time I killed the son of a... "
Everyone present there listened in complete silence, no one could believe what they were hearing, each crime was even worse than the previous ones and Xie, Chang Ho's father had played a really big role in it, by the time the video finished, everyone was staring at Xie with raged filled eyes.
" Now, the so called smartest brain of the kingdom, what do you have to say? Why don't you tell us whether everything your son confessed is true or not?
Oh right, you have to touch that sphere while saying anything, then we would know everything. " MVLeMpYr-your-novel-source
Xie was clenching his fists, he immediately wanted to shout that everything in that video was false, but thinking of touching the sphere while confessing, he couldn't bring himself to say anything.
' Fuck, making either choice will be bad only for me, there is no way out of this, it would be better for me to retreat for now. '
Xie thought and glanced at the surroundings.
" Of course that all is fake, I don't think we can reach any agreement like that, so let's end this matter for now, I'll talk with the king about this. "
Xie said out loud, acting righteously but everyone there could clearly see that he was just trying to run away from the situation.
" I think this Xie bastard is guilty of all those things, look at him how hard he is trying to escape from here. " Murmurs from the crowd sounded all around.
" So, are you saying we aren't guilty anymore? " Jayden asked, pointing at himself and Jia.
" I- I can't do anything for now since we don't have any evidence against you. L- Let's end this for now, until further notice from the king, we will be investigating this matter in depth. "
Saying that Xie gestured at the four guards to leave, but they just stood at their spot and looked at the Godly Prophet for any command.
Jayden also turned his gaze towards the prophet who shivered while feeling uneasy in his heart.
" What are you going to do, prophet? According to you, did I lose the bet or did I win? "
Jayden spoke, and a small smile appeared on his face.
The prophet stood up but couldn't respond, he didn't have any proof to show that Jayden lost but if he accepted defeat then not only would he have to walk naked back to the castle he would also have to kill Xie, and then all fault would be his.
The prophet stood there in a daze and just stared at Jayden, but his whole body trembled when suddenly Jayden began walking towards him.
Before he could do any thing, Jayden appeared in front of him and then taking both of his arms, he twisted them as if twisting a wet cloth.
*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*
The sound of bone cracking filled the surroundings, both of his hands had turned into a mess, and the sight looked very gruesome.
" Ah?!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh M- My arms ughhhhhhhhhb Nooooooooo P- Pleaseeeeeeeee uwaaaaah "
Pain filled sound rang out, as the prophet fell onto his butt, he was crying and a pungent smell filled his clothes, as he peed in his clothes.
" Why are you acting like that? "
Jayden's voice broke the silence, the prophet stopped his screams and looked around in confusion, both of his hands were still fine and everyone there was staring at him strangely, as if he is a mad man.
The prophet looked embarrassed as he stood up and jerked off all the dust off his clothes, but his body was still shaking in fear.
" Why are you still silent? Have you not made your decision yet? " Jayden said, his expression serious.
The prophet gulped and finally made a decision, to him his own life was much more important than anything else,
" I admit that my t- technique was fake, I wanted to make the two of you to appear as criminals, so I made the sphere act like that, it g- glows according to my will, I will admit that I have l- lost the bet. "
The prophet said, looking down, even though he would have to face the consequences because of this, even though his reputation would be ruined, he knew that going against Jayden was nothing short of a nightmare.
" I told you, now that you have lost, you will have to do what you promised to me, right? "
Jayden said, and Xie felt as if all the strength in his body was leaving, he knew what was to come, Xie felt despair and regretted his decision of ever coming here.
He should have been more careful, running away now won't be possible all four of the guards were a lot stronger than him, he glanced around and saw that the only people close to him were Jia, Wang Jin, the prophet and the guards.
He can't do anything to the guards or prophet or Jia, and that only leaves Wang Jin, he decided to take Jayden as a hostage to run away from there and much to his delight Jayden had stepped a little away from Wang Jia.
" Guards, kill Xie right now. "
The prophet ordered and all four of the guards began to walk towards him with menacing expressions.
" Y- You can't d- do this to me, I- I am still working as the k- king's a- adviser, w- whoever dares to touch me will be killed b- by the k- king. "
