“You can …………”
Knightstar leaned in and whispered something into Huben’s ear!
Huben’s complexion shifted dramatically, going from a deep red to a pale white. Shocked, he finally exclaimed, “How can this be? If I go through with this, I’ll be branded a traitor and face execution!”
Desperately, Huben shook his head!
“Brother Huben, do you really believe your demon emperor will spare you if you don’t comply?”
“Right now, you hold no value in the eyes of your demon emperor; he treats a mere human better than you, the illustrious general!”
“If you follow my plan, not only will you ascend as the new Demon Emperor, but you’ll also have the chance to win over Isha. With a beautiful woman by your side, you’ll truly be a success!”
“Once you claim the title of Demon Emperor, our King City and your Imperial City will unite. Who would dare to challenge us in the beast race then?”
Li Xing continued to persuade Huben!
Huben felt a flicker of interest at Li Xing’s words. Although he had little ambition for power and didn’t yearn to be the demon emperor, his thoughts constantly drifted back to Isha.
As long as he could be with Isha, he found himself dreaming of her often, and the idea of living without her became unbearable!
“Brother, can I trust what you’re saying? What if the demon emperor catches wind of this? What if I return and he decides to confine me?”
Huben voiced his concerns to Li Xing!
“Brother Huben, there’s no need to worry. This medicine is both colorless and tasteless. It won’t be detected, and taking it won’t harm you. It will only leave you feeling weak and unable to unleash your full strength!”
“When the time comes, just feign regret, invite the Demon Emperor and Isha to a dinner, and slip the poison into their meals.”
“I will return to Ming Li King City to rally our forces. Together, we can seize control of the entire Imperial City from within!”
“Besides, as the Grand General of the Imperial City’s guards, most of the guards are loyal to you!”
Li Xing meticulously outlined the plan to Huben!
After a moment of intense contemplation, Huben clenched his teeth and agreed, “Alright, I’m in. But you must be truthful with me—do not let anything happen to Isha!”
“If anything happens to her, I swear I will hold you accountable ……”
Huben’s motivation stemmed from his desire for Isha; if she were to be poisoned or harmed, all his plotting would be in vain!
“Brother Huben, rest assured, everything will proceed smoothly.”
Li Xing gave his reassurances with utmost sincerity!
“Okay, give me the medicine quickly. I need to act fast over the next few days to avoid raising the Demon Emperor’s suspicions!”
Huben instructed Knightstar to present the poison he had prepared!
Once Knightstar handed over the poison, he immediately set off for Ming Li King City to mobilize the troops without delay!
Taking a deep breath, Huben steeled himself and began his journey toward Demon Emperor City!
Meanwhile, within the Great Hall of the Imperial City, Demon Emperor Yih was seething with rage, his face contorted and his fists slamming against the table!
“How dare Huben disregard my authority! How could he conspire with that Li Xing against Mr. Chen?”
“He must be desperate! Send someone to find Huben immediately; I will deal with him myself!”
Demon Emperor Yih’s voice thundered through the hall!
Immediately, guards rushed out to hunt for Huben!
From the side, Isha interjected, “Father, I believe it’s time to reassess Huben’s position. We should strip him of his title as general.”
“While we have had no issues with Ming Li, our families have clashed for so many years!”
“Huben is fully aware of the longstanding rivalry between our Demon Emperor City and Ming Li King City, yet he continues to associate with Li Xing!”
“Had I not intervened in time, Kai might have fallen victim to their schemes!”
Isha wore a determined expression, wishing her father would take decisive action against Huben!
