"For the sake of the Emerald City, for your sister's sake, Jenn, please."

Zhan En's eyes moved.

At that moment, it seemed as if everything in the arena came to a standstill.

Only Thales and Zhan are left to decide the fate of the Emerald City in this crucial conversation.

"Do you think you've got her?" Zhan En said softly.

"What?" Thales and Hilley were both startled.

"Do you think that by playing the good guy card and deceiving yourself and making friends with her, you can soften my attitude and blur the essence of this struggle?"

Zhan En looked at his sister, then at Thales, and sneered:

"Do you think I can't see your attitude and position here, that you would rather resort to luck and luck than face the facts, and just want to duck your head and escape?"

Thales' heart skipped a beat.

Rather resort to luck and luck...

Unwilling to face the facts...

I just want to lower my head and escape...

ZHANE What is he talking about?

He subconsciously clenched his fists, but he touched the Gortaxa bone ring through his pocket.

"Um, brother," Shilai felt bad, "I think it's best for us to discuss the matter and not go too far..."

"Second Lieutenant Cherki, continue to escort the suspect!"

The next second, Zhan En's cold command awakened everyone present.

"No one is allowed to stop him on the way until he is sent to jail!!"

Thales's heart sank and he returned to reality.

"Jane!" he warned loudly.

The change in attitude of the two noble men made the onlookers nervous.

"Hypocrisy, falsehood, hesitation, weakness," Zhan En turned around and sneered again and again, "I'm really fed up with your pretentious way of pretending to be selfless even though you're obviously just for your own convenience and satisfaction.

It makes me sick."

Thales trembled inwardly.

Hilley understood his brother's attitude and was shocked:

"Zhan, wait, don't make a decision in a hurry..."

But the Duke ignored neither the prince's warning nor his sister's persuasion, and directly ordered:

"Police Department, what are you doing standing still?"

Beside Federico, the security officers who were hesitating and dazed all shuddered, and they roughly dragged Federico to his knees:

"Yes Yes!"

The crowd was in commotion again, and people began to talk about what happened in this round of negotiations and dialogue, and how the Duke and the Prince played around the suspect...

But Thales just stared at Zhan with a determined expression.

hateful.

He has clearly explained the causes and consequences, the stakes, but why...

[I would rather resort to luck and luck...I don't want to face the facts...I just want to lower my head and escape...]

At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through the lightning.

[You wander to the top of the cliff, but you dream of the view of the sky...]

The king's voice sounded faintly, making Thales tremble violently!

Is it?

A few seconds later, when Thales returned to reality and the present, when he looked with difficulty at the bustling crowd in front of him, at the faces of Zhan En and Shilai...

He knows that he has made his choice.

"Duke Jenn!"

Thales said loudly, his voice amplified by the Sin of Hell River so that everyone around him could hear clearly:

"What the suspect Federico Kevindil mentioned is very relevant and full of doubts. For the sake of fairness and justice, and for your reputation, I think we should not rush to a conclusion. We might as well set up a special case and send people to investigate strictly.

, how about careful interrogation until the truth comes out?"

After the prince's words fell, the crowd that was originally talking about each other suddenly fell silent. The security officers escorting Federico also slowed down. The leader glanced here worriedly from time to time.

Zhan En looked at him slowly, his face ashen.

"What?" Hilley was equally surprised and in disbelief.

But Thales just stared at Zhan, who looked back at him with a profound and complicated look.

"Your Highness Thales," Zhan spoke, speaking clearly but with a slow pace, "You must be tired and your mind is unclear."

Zhan's response made Thales sigh softly.

But soon, he took a deep breath and took a step forward.

He understands.

The atmosphere was not right, and people from both sides - the Star Lake Guards and the Emerald Legion - all shuddered and subconsciously moved closer to the master.

"Star Lake Guards!"

Thales shouted decisively, causing Zhan's eyes to change.

He understood that this confrontation had nothing to do with commitment, justice, character, or their personal grudges.

It's only a matter of victory or defeat.

Zhan wants to win, so of course he refuses to back down.

As for Thales, he couldn't lose, so naturally he could only move forward.

"In the name of the king, quickly capture the suspect Federico Kevin Dial!"

Faced with Thales' unyielding reaction, Zhan frowned.

Thales looked back at the Star Lake Guards, all of whom had earth-colored faces:

"Take him back and keep him under strict supervision - our supervision!"

After the words fell, Huaiya, who was still hesitating, was completely stunned until Miranda kicked him hard.

"Yes - as ordered, Your Highness!"

Huaiya tried his best not to look at the eyes of the people around him, and turned to look at his colleagues who were also shocked:

"So, the vanguard wing, or the guard wing? In short, His Highness has an order, I need two..."

"One is enough." Before Wyatt could finish speaking, Miranda decisively stepped out of the crowd and walked towards Federico.

Perhaps it was because the king's reputation was big enough that the security officers nearby looked at each other and did not dare to stop him, but Miranda had not taken a few steps forward yet——

"Seychelles!"

Zhan En's order sounded, and another figure moved in response!

Boom!

There was a dull sound, Miranda raised her eagle and raised an unsheathed sword.

"Stand back, ma'am, that's the Emerald City's own prisoner."

I saw the Seychelles knight holding his sword straight, standing coldly between Federico and Miranda, his eyes cold.

The two warriors faced off against each other, making everyone nervous. Both the Star Lake Guards and the Emerald Sergeant all looked at their respective masters, secretly gearing up to prepare for action.

"Knight of the Seychelles, did you hear His Highness Thales's order?" Miranda tightened her grip on the hilt of the sword in her gloves.

Seychelles glanced at Zhan - the latter's eyebrows were trembling and his face was ashen.

The knight turned back: "Sorry, I'm deaf."

"Then retire early?" The female swordsman's expression changed.

"You are no match for me. It would be better to replace you with that Mallos." Seychelles said disdainfully.

"The Terror Blade has other important matters, so I have no time to worry about it." Miranda felt the strong pressure coming from the other party, but she gritted her teeth and showed no sign of weakness.

Glover and others behind Miranda looked at each other, wanting to step forward to share the pressure, but the sergeants behind Seychelles also looked at them eagerly.

The expressions of the surrounding bystanders varied. Most of the foreigners looked calm. Only the local nobles and vassals looked ugly. Count Lassia clenched his fists in anger, and the two Miss Karabiyan stood together and whispered.

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, Shilai yelled, and she rushed between Zhan and Thales, pointing at one person with one finger and an angry look on her face:
