[Solar Cross Society member "Tupa" killed a Didak Bug People, you gained 5000 Experience Points!]

[Solar Cross Society member "Sutman" killed a Didak Bug People, you gained 4900 Experience Points!]

[Solar Cross Society member "Olli" killed a Didak Bug People...]

[Curse "Blasphemer LV2" has deepened...]

In the secret meeting hall on the second floor of the Generous Council headquarters, Chen Lun sat in his seat, glancing at the notification panel that others couldn’t see.

’It seems that the Destiny line I’ve manipulated has taken effect...’

he thought to himself.

Logically speaking, having just advanced to Sequence Four [Clown], he hadn’t yet gained the ability of Sequence Three [Dramatist] to write scripts, but with the blessing of [Hide and Seek], he was now able to influence the direction of the Solar Cross Society through [Jest of Fate], showcasing its power.

’After all, it is the remnant divinity left by the Ring Duke, no wonder it’s so powerful... Furthermore, this matter makes sense from a fundamental logic standpoint, it’s just a bit of pushing from me, using coincidences.’

Chen Lun mused.

A couple of days ago, in the private room at the party, he had casually mentioned something, and Princess Anna, as if realizing something, became delighted and chatted with him until evening.

Now it seemed, just as he had scripted, Princess Anna had indeed rallied and dispatched the Solar Cross Society members to the Dark World to hunt.

But one thing that surprised Chen Lun was that the Didak Bug People killed by the Cross Society members could distribute a small portion of Experience Points to him, just like subordinates.

’Is it because I activated the ability, and it is closely related to the main storyline, so this phenomenon occurred...’

Chen Lun speculated.

The frequency of these kill notifications wasn’t high, only appearing once or twice every few hours. In a day, the Experience Points accumulated to about 50,000, which, compared to the required 2,000,000 for the next level, was still a drop in the bucket.

But fortunately, it was a process of effortless gain, something Chen Lun enjoyed and indulged in... Additionally, with his subordinates tirelessly grinding monsters in the Spirit World, his Experience Points accumulated slowly but steadily.

Even if Chen did nothing, in ten days to half a month, he could fully accumulate the Experience Points for the next level up, truly enjoying the fruits of others’ labor, the ideal representative of the "Lamppost Hanging Man" pathway.

As for the so-called Curse "Blasphemer", he didn’t care at all.

With his fortress-like Mysterious Resistance, even if the curse deepened to its maximum, it couldn’t deduct even a single Attribute Point from him, becoming just a decorative label with no effect.

Chen Lun even had the wicked idea that when the curse "matured", he would use it as bait to attract more Didak Bug People or Believers and followers of the Father of Darkness, and then slaughter them all.

Indeed, it was just for fun.

Playing a game of fishing enforcement, with no chance of returning empty-handed, but rather with plentiful rewards.

Just as Chen Lun was lost in thought, a cold, severe, and deafening voice rang in his ear:

"Jack Spett! You dare to disregard the rules at a secret meeting, openly neglecting the matters we discussed! Do you realize the heinous crime you have committed?! Conspiring against a colleague! Cruelly killing Houston, the Senate’s Governing Officer!"

Chen Lun looked up and saw Malek, the Governing Officer with short hair and glaring eyes, standing across the white marble round table, sternly scolding him.

At this moment, aside from the deceased Houston, all nine Governing Officers, including Kingsberg, Mulenga, and Peggy, were present, even the Speaker was quietly sitting at the high seat in the back, observing everything.

"Why yell so loudly? I can hear you..."

Chen Lun scratched his ear helplessly, Malek’s forceful questioning resounded in the empty hall, making it ache.

In fact, with [Multitasking], he was well aware of the entire meeting process. It was just that for the past nearly an hour, it was Malek, Randa, and Mide’s "trash talk time". They had produced several stacks of files and reports, accusing Chen Lun of being directly responsible for Houston’s murder and enumerating over twenty related crimes.

Righteous and eloquent, generous and impassioned.

Chen Lun could see that these three had planned this long ago, waiting for the Speaker to return and then attack. He couldn’t be bothered to argue and decided to see how they would perform.

"Alright then! Jack Spett, the evidence is here, do you plead guilty?"

Malek knocked on the files on the table, speaking coldly.

Beside him, Randa and Mide, the two Governing Officers, also wore unfriendly expressions. Houston, who was on their side, had gone to the Royal City with their expectations but never returned. That unwavering expression had become the last they would see, leaving them both shocked and furious... Jack had advanced to the Holy Rank and even killed Houston publicly!

They weren’t surprised by Jack’s terrifying prowess, knowing that when he was in the Mid Sequence, he had demonstrated extremely rare talent, even slaying the Saint Slayer’s Incarnation... Now that he was at the top, he must be among the elites of the Saints.

But they absolutely didn’t want to see Jack stay in the Senate unharmed... Having lost Houston, their ally, and seeing Kingsberg gain a new powerful Saint, was quite troubling!

This meant that in the future, they would lose all their influence!

Put in a completely passive position!

The best scenario would be to use Houston’s death to punish Jack severely.

Malek and the others knew the value of a Saint, especially an exceptional one like Jack. The Speaker was unlikely to agree to execute him, but conspiring against a colleague was a serious crime, so they should be able to sentence him to imprisonment, or at least expel him from the Senate...

This was Malek and his two allies’ goal.

However, it was Mulenga, the Governing Officer, who first spoke up to oppose:

"Malek, no matter how much so-called ’evidence’ you present, you cannot deny one fact: you abused your power while the Speaker and we were away, making ridiculous resolutions and went to the Royal City on your own to seize Jack’s position!"

"This was the decision of the entire Generous Council, not an abuse of power on our part. The voting process in the Great Hall is recorded in detail here..."

Plump Mide spoke in support, but before he could finish, the towering Kingsberg slammed the table.

Boom!

"There’s no need for grandiose words here. Who among us doesn’t understand? Each senator of the Senate has their own subordinates. The four of you could have leveraged this to guide public opinion and manipulate the vote..."

Kingsberg’s voice was strong and resonant, his sharp eyes sweeping over Malek and the others, causing their brows to furrow immediately.

The female senator Randa, seeing this, was about to speak, but the Speaker raised his hand just in time to stop the endless arguing.

"Let’s stop here."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker."

The senators lowered their heads in salute.

Azjiluo remained calm as he looked at the man in the black hat.

"Jack, do you have anything to say?"

Chen Lun removed his hat and slowly stood up. He first nodded at Kingsberg and his allied senators, then ignored Malek and his group, looking at the Speaker as he spoke softly:

"Mr. Speaker, I was ordered to hold my position in the Royal City, always diligent and not daring to overstep, yet I did not expect Senator Houston to suddenly visit and directly announce my dismissal and transfer..."

His tone grew heavy.

"Later, under the gaze of the royal family and the Seven Gods Church, Senator Houston publicly humiliated me. Considering it concerns the reputation of the Generous Council, I endured it at the time. But he continued relentlessly, pressing me step by step, even erasing my incarnation with his actions... At that point, I had no choice but to fight back, but I didn’t expect Senator Houston to be much weaker than I had imagined, inadvertently killing him by mistake."

Chen Lun showed timely guilt, shaking his head with a sigh.

Malek and the others, especially Senator Mide, who was close to Houston, were furious at this, his slightly plump face turning red, and his eyes glaring at Jack as if he wanted to kill him on the spot.

"You lie!"

Mide shouted,

glaring fiercely at Chen Lun with veins popping out on his forehead.

"You used your high-level Destiny divination ability to first locate Houston’s exact position and then ambushed him, severely injuring him... Such despicable behavior shows your complete lack of respect for your colleagues. Allowing you to stay in the Senate would be pure disaster in the future!"

"What exactly are you talking about, Senator Mide?"

Chen Lun looked puzzled as he softly questioned.

"If I truly intended to kill him, would I need to ambush him? Or do you all really not believe what I said... that it was an accidental kill."

As he spoke, his expression faded, his eyes turning into emerald vertical pupils as he looked at Malek and the others.

An old, rust-covered iron crown appeared above his head, radiating extreme malice. A tattered, gray-white cloak fluttered on his shoulders, and an ivory white staff suddenly appeared in his hand.

His voice was cold and resolute, echoing in the secret hall: frёewebnoѵēl.com

"Why don’t the three of you try it together and see if what I’m saying is true... but remember, I might accidentally end up killing all of you!"

"Jack! You!"

Mide and Randa were both shocked and furious as they shot to their feet.

The three senators felt their hairs stand on end, immediately feeling as if they were locked on by a frightening aura that would unleash a devastating attack at the slightest movement... The strong premonition of death overcame them, and they almost couldn’t restrain their instinct to reveal their own Mythical Creature Form to resist the impending danger.

Seeing their readiness to fight, Kingsberg and the other four senators also looked on coldly, exerting immense pressure and deterrence.

Just as Malek and his group were sweating and at a loss,

the Speaker Azjiluo interrupted the brewing conflict once more.

"Everyone, stop..."

He spoke, specifically advising Chen Lun:

"Jack, that’s enough."

Chen Lun did not respond, only slightly turned his head and nodded at the Speaker. Then, the iron crown above his head, the gray cloak on his shoulder, and the staff in his hand all disappeared, restoring his original appearance.

Malek and his companions seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden was lifted... When they looked at Jack again, their eyes had changed, filled with caution and solemnity.

Perhaps Jack was telling the truth?

Did he really kill Houston by accident?!

This level of pressure... Having newly ascended to a high rank, it’s possible he couldn’t control the surging Mythical power, leading to the accidental killing of his opponent.

"Mr. Speaker, these are the mysterious substances left behind after Senator Houston’s death, and these... are trophies I obtained while hunting the incarnation of the Rothfuss Family’s Saint during my Mid Sequence..."

Chen Lun spoke solemnly, taking out eight pieces of high-sequence sinister substances.

Eight gray stones of various sizes were placed on the marble table.

"Senator Houston’s death was not my intention... I offer these to the council, hoping to compensate for some of the loss."

"Mr. Speaker, no matter what, Jack did kill Houston... This is an undeniable fact!"

Malek gritted his teeth, ignoring the cold stares from Kingsberg and the others.

However, the Speaker just shook his head and calmly said:

"Alright, that’s enough... This meeting is over, Jack is innocent."
