Chapter 1049 How Bold


    Hearing this, Elvis'' eyebrows twitched slightly. Everyone could tell that Jason meant something else.


    He deliberately gave Elvis a head-on blow, to send the message that it wouldn''t be so easy to deceive


    him.


    Just then, multitudes of people swarmed in and bowed respectfully to Jason. Then, they showered


    Jason with gifts. This might''ve been Elvis'' birthday party, but it was as though Jason was the true


    celebrant, which made him look a presumptuous guest usurping the host''s role.


    However, if that was all there was to it, then it didn''t matter. As more and more people gathered in the


    Celestial Hall, Jason began to show his true colors.


    "Chief Elvis, your birthday party is so lively! So many famous n chiefs, elders, and other famous


    people havee to celebrate. I am so jealous of you!" Jason smiled evilly.


    "You don''t have to be. All of these people are just here for some fun, at my expense!" Elvis said with a


    fake smile, but he already knew why Jason was here.


    "Are you sure about that?" Jason narrowed his eyes, looking around at the people present. "As far as I


    know, a few of them were discontented with the acting emperor not long ago. I heard that they even


    joined forces to report the acting emperor''s misconduct to the royal family''s Emergency Chamber. That


    must mean, the elders in the Emergency Chamber have often talked to the acting emperor!"


    Upon overhearing this, the expression on the faces of several chiefs and elders of medium and small


    ns changed immediately.


    "I don''t know about that..." Elvis frowned, pretending not to know anything about it.


    "Really? That''s good. If you did know about it, I wouldn''t know how to deal with you. After all, the Ji


    n are rtives of the acting emperor. He sent me here just to take the empress back to the Pce


    City, not to make any trouble. And I don''t n on upsetting anyone. Chief Elvis, I think you know what


    you should do!" Jason raised his hand as he went straight to the point.


    "Sybil has been weak and sick since she was a child. In the past six months, she has been in poor


    health, and the acting emperor is aware of this. When she gets better, I will personally see to it that she


    is sent back to the Pce City," Elvis said, quickly scrounging up an excuse.


    "You don''t have to send her back in person. Besides, I came here specifically to do that. Do you want


    me to return empty-handed? Moreover, she needs to go back to the Pce City to recuperate. The


    acting emperor has ordered people to collect a lot of precious elixirs, which have been specially


    prepared for her recovery. So, you don''t have to worry. Or do you think that she will be mistreated after


    returning to the Pce City?" Jason narrowed his eyes at him usingly.


    "No. If Sybil knows what the acting emperor has done for her, she will be very pleased. But it''s true that


    she is too ill to go on a long trip now," Elvis said, feigning a regretful expression. He continued to make


    excuses.


    "It seems that you are reluctant to let her go back. But the acting emperor said that if I can''t bring her


    back, I can''t go back either. I will have to stay in the Ji Mansion to serve her. Try to understand, I have


    a dilemma. To exin to the acting emperor, I would have to bring back some people that he cares


    about. For example, the elders who joined hands to report the acting emperor to the Emergency


    Chamber." Jason ended with a flourish. Then, he waved his hand immediately.


    Several masters at the Supernal Stage and some spirit maniptors at the Heavenly Stage at the gate


    of the hall suddenly rushed towards the chiefs and elders among the people on both sides.


    "The chief of the Mao n, elder of the Yuan n, and... You are really bold. You just joined hands to


    report the acting emperor to the Emergency Chamber, but now you are here to attend Chief Elvis''


    birthday party. Did you really think I wouldn''t be able to bring you back and interrogate you just because


    you were under the protection of the Ji n?" Jason said coldly, shooting res at the chiefs and


    elders who were now being controlled by the masters.


    "What are you doing? They are all my guests!" Elvis shouted indignantly, his expression darkening. He


    never expected Jason would make such a bold move, arresting his guests at his birthday party.


    Elvis might not have meddled if Jason had chosen to arrest them on some other asion. However,


    Jason was arresting them in his mansion, on his birthday party. Jason was so unscrupulous that he did


    not take the Ji n seriously at all. If Elvis really let Jason arrest them, the Ji n would be disgraced


    immensely.


    "Chief Elvis, haven''t I made myself clear just now? If I can''t take the empress back, I have to take the


    others back to make the acting emperor understand!" Jason sneered. It was obvious that he was


    threatening Elvis. He wanted Elvis to make a choice—either let him take back Sybil or let him arrest the


    chiefs and elders who were dissatisfied with the acting emperor. Either way, the Ji n would be


    humiliated in front of everyone.


    Elvis red at Jason, and then looked at those who were being taken under arrest. He was torn. If he


    let Jason take his daughter back, Alston would grab this opportunity to control the Ji n, which was


    just what Alston wanted. However, if he refused to let him take Sybil back, the Ji n would soon be


    caught by the public opinion of the entire Holy Dragon Empire because of these people being arrested


    on his birthday party. The Ji n''s reputation might bepletely ruined!


    However, with his personality, Elvis wouldn''t easilypromise. Just as he was about to make his


    decision, two figures walked in from outside the Celestial Hall.


    "Let go of them right this instant! If you want to arrest people in the Ji Mansion, you will need to go


    through me," a delicate voice shouted angrily.


    All the people in the hall turned their heads to see Sabina storming in. She walked along arrogantly,


    carrying a cold expression. She was followed by a mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat and strange


    clothes. The man was Rocky.


    "Oh, Miss Sabina." As soon as Jason saw Sabina, the expression on his face changed slightly.


    Everyone in the Holy Dragon Empire knew about the beloved disciple of Marcia, one of the Three


    Great Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire. Moreover, over the past six months, as the heir of the Ji


    n, Sabina had appeared in various asions many times. It could be said that Sabina was already


    one of the representatives of the younger generation of the Holy Dragon Empire.


    "Jason, how dare youe to arrest people in our Ji Mansion!" Sabina shouted angrily, ring at


    Jason coldly.


    "Miss Sabina, it''s not my fault. Chief Elvis is making things difficult for me," Jason said with his arms up


    in fake surrender, pretending to be helpless.


    "How about this? If it''s true you just want to take people back and exin to Alston, then take me. I


    haven''t seen him in a long time anyway. I can go back with you and say hello to him." Sabina called out


    the acting emperor''s name deliberately, which shocked everyone in the room.


    Jason frowned deeply. He didn''t expect that Sabina would say such a thing in public. Moreover she


    called out the name of the acting emperor. How bold she was!Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
