The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 134

"This "Canter Debs must be the third brother of the Debs clan. "Clayde laughed softly towards Linley, and Linley nodded. Linley and Clayde had only witnessed this process, whereas the members of the Debs clan all felt terror.

All the viewers of the Debs clan were now so nervous that they trembled.

"Nclattering!"

The sound of shackles crackling could be heard, as under the escort of two soldiers, a thin, pale-faced, golden-haired middle-aged man entered the court. The views of everyone in the court were drawn to him, including Bernard, Kalan, and Nimitz.

Seeing the golden-haired man appear, Bernard let out a long sigh, then closed his eyes.

"That's really the third brother of the Debs clan, Kanter!" From the observer gallery, the voices of the discussion could be heard. Many of the nobles present acknowledged and knew Kanter Debs, due to his position within the Debs clan.

Now, the Debs clan had no further hopes of trying to hide.

Sitting in the judge's seat, Merritt looked towards Clayde, who nodded.

"Bernards. Merritt looked at Bernard. "As it is, do you still have something to say yourself?"

But Bernard did not look at Merritt. He turned to look at his third brother, Kanter, correcting Kanter's view. Kanter also looked at his older brother Bernard. The two brothers met.

"Third brother, why are you doing this?" There was disbelief in Bernard's eyes, as pain and anger caused his entire body to tremble.

"I'm sorry . "Kanter said softly.

Bernard laughed bitterly, then shook his head. In a serious voice, he said, “It's not me you should apologize for. This is the entire Debs clan. How many years does the Debs clan exist? Only thanks to the hard work and efforts of countless generations of our ancestors did we enjoy our current level of success. But you… . You .. "Bernard was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

"Thud!"

Kanter knelt in court, and two streams of tears began to flow.

"Sister, I deserve to die!"

He slapped his face with his hands shackled. Crying sadly, she said, “Sister, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I was greedy and dissatisfied with the little authority and wealth I had in the Debs clan. That's why I used the clan's gold to get involved in this smuggling operation. It's all my fault. Big brother! It's all my fault! "

This scene shocked everyone present.

Linley and Clayde both raised eyebrows, while the sentencing judge, Merritt, frowned.

"Because things have progressed so far .." Bernard raised his head, forcing his tears to stop. He looks very quiet. “Third brother, it doesn't matter whose question is wrong. Your actions have caused our entire clan to be in danger of destruction. I, Bernard Debs, as the leader of the generation of the Debs clan, will not be able to face our ancestors, even in death. ”

As he spoke, Bernard's tears once again began to fall.

Bernard suddenly turned to look at Clayde, kneeling towards him. Crying sadly, he said, “Your Majesty. It is the greatest misfortune that might happen for our Debs clan to give birth to this pitiful little traitor from this kingdom. As the leader of the Debs clan, I, Bernard Debs, cannot escape responsibility. I, Bernard, am willing to use my death to beg you, Your Majesty, to save the Debs clan. After all, most of the people in our clan are innocent! ”

Clayde looked at Bernard.

And then he looked at Merritt, nodding once.

Merritt understood Clayde's intentions. Immediately, he exclaimed, “Fifteen minutes of rest! Fifteen minutes later, we will announce the final sentence! ”

……

All the nobles present had to leave the court, and could only return fifteen minutes later. The direction of this case is becoming very clear. As for how the Debs clan would be punished for the crime of his smuggling, it was entirely up to His Majesty.

Such a large-scale smuggling operation could definitely have an impact on the entire clan. Even if the clan was annihilated, it would be understandable.

But of course, Clayde could also be more generous and just punish the Debs clan but let it survive.

The result will be entirely up to Clayde.

…

Outside the court, Duke Bonalt was chatting with Linley.

"Linley, did you see that? This descendant of the main branch of the Debs clan is really quite good. That Kanter had been arrested a few days ago. But, instead of committing suicide, he waited until today to put on the show now. "Duke Bonalt laughs.

Linley nodded in praise as well.

"If Kanter kills himself, then the Debs clan will be in a worse, more passive situation. "Linley laughed as well.

If Kanter commits suicide, his body will be used as evidence proving the Debs clan's wrongdoing in smuggling. The Debs clan would have no way of refuting it. But now, Kanter himself admitted that he had acted alone, giving the Debs clan a chance to live.

But of course, whether the Debs clan will live or not depends entirely on His Majesty.

“Kill'em, kill everyone. "Bebe, on Linley's shoulder, bared his fangs while mentally speaking to Linley. “Klan Debs is too good at playing games. I, Bebe, cannot hold them back. ”

Hearing this, Linley could not help but laugh.

"Squeaaaaaac. ”

The door to the court is open. Fifteen minutes have passed. All the nobles outside walked back to the palace, they all secretly took up positions earlier. At that time, the only people present in the court were Merritt, King Clayde, and a few others.

"Linley, guess. How do you think I'll punish him? "Clayde smiled towards Linley.

"Not knowing . "Jawab Linley brief.

Clayde sneered silently.

"All rise!"

“The total value of this smuggling operation exceeds forty million gold coins. We are punishing the Debs to receive a fine of twice that amount, eighty million gold coins. Bernard Debs is out. Court adjourned! ”After hearing these words from Merritt, Bernard, Kalan, and Nimitz all heaved a sigh of relief, but in their hearts, they felt extremely helpless.

Eighty million gold coins!

What a terrible number!

The entire net worth of the Debs clan was only around a hundred million gold coins, and that included all of their illiquid assets. For them to be able to pay such a large fine would naturally require them to sell many of their illiquid assets. Such large-scale auctions, within a period of time, will inevitably result in many mistakes and bargains from buyers.

Although their illiquid assets were worth eighty million gold coins, the chances of them actually receiving eighty million gold coins were truly too low.

"Linley, what do you think?" Clayde looked at Linley.

Linley laughed and nodded. “Very awesome, very awesome. ”

The fine Clayde levied against the Debs clan was carefully calibrated, precisely because the Debs clan's illiquid asset valuation was worth about eighty million or so. If Clayde had really punished the Debs clan for extermination, then without a doubt, he would not have been able to obtain a single coin from their liquid assets.

But if the penalty fine is too high, perhaps the Debs clan will even risk extinction rather than pay the fine.

The fine of eighty million gold coins was neither too high nor too little. Thas right.

"Dad. ”Kalan and the others immediately went to help Bernard stand up.

But Bernard was just staring at his third brother, Kanter. A grim and calm expression was on Kanter's face. He nodded towards Bernard. After he was revealed to be leading a smuggling operation, Kanter knew that he was going to die, without question. But now that he was dying on behalf of the clan, the clan would most likely treat his son and his wife well.

Bernard nodded towards Kanter as well.

Two brothers . From one exchange of views, they know what others are thinking.

"Let's .. return. Bernard said with a sigh.

After experiencing this tribulation, the Debs clan had suffered a huge blow to its vitality. Best of all, they would have one-tenth of the economic power they had before. From this day onward ... The Debs clan has been overthrown from its previous position of power at the highest level in the Kingdom of Fenlai. They could only be considered a fairly wealthy clan, now. ”

… .

In the Linley manor, in the Hot Springs Park.

Linley sat on the chair, silently staring blankly.

"Linley, what are you thinking?" Doehring Cowart came out of the Coiling Dragon ring.

Linley glanced at Doehring Cowart. Sighing, he said, "Today, when I saw the Debs clan being punished, I suddenly thought of my own clan. My clan was once a clan that dominated the entire Yulan continent, but now, after all these generations, who is left? My father died, and my mother's whereabouts are unknown. Little Wharton was now in the O'Brien Empire. Throughout the Holy Union, I was alone without a brother. ”

Linley was gripped by a strong, melancholic loneliness.

His parents are gone, and he's engaged in an undisclosed revenge mission!

On this path for revenge, Linley's heart tightly twisted, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Looking at Linley, Doehring Cowart felt a wave of pity. Although superficial Linley looked very mature, and had no problems at all dealing with the important nobles. He had just graduated from the magus academy not too long ago.

"Linley, relax. Don't push yourself too much. You have plenty of time. ”Doehring Cowart pushing it.

Linley looked at Doehring Cowart. On this lonely road he had been on, it was good for him to take Grandpa Doehring with him, along with that mischievous, Bebe.

“Thank you, Grandpa Doehring. "Said Linley thankfully.

Doehring Cowart started laughing.

“I really want to know what happened to my mother as soon as possible. I want to kill Clayde as soon as possible. "Even if they ignored the fact that Clayde had kidnapped his mother, the fact that he had caused his mother to be separated from their family for more than ten years, resulted in the death of Linley's father, and the death of Linley's father, meaning that without a doubt, Clayde must die

“Who knows when the 'King of Murderers', Cesar, will bring the poison recipe. "Linley began to grow impatient.

… .

Every day, Linley had been urgently waiting for the return of Cesar, the 'King of Assassins'. But every day passed without any news from Cesar. Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was now October. During this past month, the Fenlai Kingdom had been quite calm. The only big affair was the large-scale auction conducted by the Debs clan.

Many clans took the opportunity to try to bargain with or bring down the Debs clan. However, the value of the Debs clan's illiquid assets was really very high, so there were some bidders from other clans as well. Thus, the price at the auction was not too low, in the end. The asset, which was previously worth about eighty million gold coins, eventually sold about seventy million gold in total.

After paying a fine of eighty million gold coins, the Debs clan could finally be considered to have escaped danger.

But after this affair, the net worth of the Debs clan basically shrank by 90%.

… .

October 10th was the day before Kanter's execution. Today, Linley remained at Hot Springs Garden, training as usual.

"Lord Linley, Lord Cesar has come!" A female attendant called out in a high voice from outside!

Linley had instructed that he should be warned immediately if Cesar came.

"Cesar's coming?" Linley quickly threw down some clothes and immediately rushed out of Hot Springs Park. Given Linley's current speed, within ten seconds, he arrived outside the main hall. Currently, Cesar, still wearing a long and loose robe, was sitting lazily with one leg crossed. He's drinking a cup of tea.

"Mr . Cesar. "Linley called from afar. Three steps later, Linley entered the main hall.

Looking at Linley, Cesar's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up. "Master Linley, my true apology only came today. ”When he spoke, Cesar pulled an envelope from his clothes. "Linley, this is the recipe I mentioned. It's all yours.
