As Lynn’s contemptuous words echoed, the Holy Spirit Tree suddenly emitted a wave of mysterious energy!
The next second, a ripple-like Sky Curtain unfurled slowly above the heights of Glostit, colorful hues gathering to gradually form an image, beginning to playback the true events that occurred in the old factory that night from Lynn’s memory!
At this moment, all eyes were fixated on the Sky Curtain, and the very first scene that appeared left the entire Imperial Capital in an uproar.
It was indeed quite explosive.
The scene seemed to be in an abandoned old factory, where Fourth Prince Joshua was tied tightly and was in a deep sleep, while Lynn stood beside him, touching his own face with a look of sadness.
From the image, it was clear that Lynn, who had kidnapped the Fourth Prince, showed no signs of panic at all.
"This guy sure has some nerve, even when a Level-One kill order has already been issued for him."
"Not only that, but he’s even talking to himself, wondering how many crimes he has to mit to climb the most-wanted list."
"Huh, he’s pulling out parchment; could he be writing a farewell letter?"
Through the Sky Curtain, people could clearly see what happened that night in Lynn’s memory.
But for some unknown reason, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t make out what Lynn was writing on the parchment, as if it was censored with a mosaic.
The mon people didn’t think much of it, but Chief Justice Cornell and Saint Laurent VI were somewhat taken aback.
Especially Saint Laurent VI, the emperor known for his iron fist, who at this moment showed a rare flash of hesitation in his eyes, even feeling reluctant to immediately execute Lynn once the judgement was over.
Various signs indicated that Lynn might be harboring secrets not recorded in the Royal Family archives.
Soon, in the Sky Curtain image, Fourth Prince Joshua awoke from his a, and upon seeing Lynn standing in front of him, he looked extremely shocked and angry.
He clenched his teeth, seemingly trying hard to suppress the fear and anger in his heart, attempting to maintain the dignity of a prince.
He shouted for Lynn to release him, but Lynn did not respond to his pleas.
Subsequently, Joshua began to persuade Lynn, warning him to think clearly, and that holding a prince hostage was an unforgivable crime, hoping Lynn would not continue down this wrong path.
The ordinary citizens seemed to notice nothing amiss, but in the eyes of the shrewd nobles and the royal family, including Saint Laurent VI, Joshua’s performance was undoubtedly disastrous.
"By your logic, holding the prince hostage is already a capital offense, so what’s a few more charges?"
"Like torturing a prince, for example."
In the image, Lynn spoke with a playful expression.
One could see Joshua trembling slightly, with visible fear and trepidation, his already thin veneer of posure on the verge of collapsing.
And the people watching this scene began to seethe with righteous indignation, instinctively sympathizing with Joshua, and roundly condemning Lynn as a demon.
What Lynn said next, expressed in an offhand manner, made the entire city truly understand the extent of his madness!
"Do you think I would die here over such a minor issue?"
On hearing this, almost everyone gasped.
To Lynn, assassinating an Imperial Council member on the street, resulting in lifelong paralysis, and kidnapping a prince seemed merely trivial matters.
"My god, is this guy even human?"
"A madman, a plete and utter lunatic!"
"This demon has blatantly disregarded the Empire’s laws and must be severely punished!"
The accusations against Lynn never ceased among the crowd.
However, the image on the Sky Curtain continued, and what happened next suddenly silenced all of Glostit.
"Councilman Blake is still too young. Does he not know for whom my lord prince is collecting taxes?"
"Imagine, just think about killing him, one of the main culprits for the long-term embezzlement of border taxes. Should His Majesty feel happy or angry?"
Lynn’s words pierced the Empire’s glamorous facade, exposing the dirtiest power games behind it.
If what Lynn said was true, then Councilman Blake was indeed a thorough corrupted official, and perhaps deserved his fate.
As for Saint Laurent VI, even he didn’t expect this to happen, feeling somewhat displeased, even doubting whether it was right to agree to the use of the Holy Tree Judgement on Lynn.
But once the Holy Tree Judgement starts, it cannot be stopped.
Even Saint Laurent VI cannot halt it.
In the image, Joshua, pletely broken by fear, was drenched in sweat and trembling uncontrollably, nowhere near his usual high and mighty demeanor.
"You cannot kill me, I, I cannot die. The Ruins Plan hasn’t been pleted, I..."
Joshua stammered incoherently.
Those watching the scene were curious about what he meant by the "Ruins Plan".
After all, one of human nature’s traits is the love of gossip.
What Lynn said next sent a chill through the hearts of Marquis Saxon and Lady Olivia.
"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you."
