I Have a Dice Left by a God-Chapter 316 - 183: Taking Action

The previously silent Cabinet suddenly seemed to come alive upon hearing this sentence.

"Your Majesty, when it comes to the Evil God’s blood fetus, it’s better to let the Church Court handle it. It also gives Marquis William a fair chance. Honestly, it’s hard to believe, considering Marquis William has done a lot for the Kingdom over the years. I think we should at least give him an opportunity to explain himself."

"This is a state affair and has nothing to do with the Church Court. However, since it involves the blood fetus, we can have an Archbishop assist in the investigation," James said.

"This matter must be handled with caution, Your Majesty. We need to control the newspapers to prevent any damage to Your Majesty’s reputation," Duke Zheng bowed and suggested, "In these special times, I propose that the Hex Bird Report is brought under the Kingdom’s management."

"Duke Zheng, both the Hex Bird Report and the Hedan Daily are under the Kingdom’s management, just not someone’s specific oversight. You should mind your own daily," James said. "Your Majesty, the case involving Marquis William is significant, involving Inner Demons, the Evil God’s blood fetus, the lives of hundreds or more children, and Your Majesty’s trust in him. There’s definitely a lot at stake here. I suggest Prince Achilles takes charge, and I’m willing to assist. We also welcome everyone and the Church Court to support Prince Achilles."

"Actually, it might be better if Prince Hokele were to handle this big case," Duke Zheng suddenly said, causing the entire Cabinet to fall into silence.

Ola the Eighteenth slowly glanced at Duke Zheng, and Duke Zheng, accustomed to these antics, trembled slightly.

The responsibilities and powers of the two princes are very clear. To say such a thing at a time and place like this.

"Duke Zheng, you’re not young anymore. You should stay at home and rest instead of wandering around," Ola the Eighteenth suppressed his anger, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Everyone knew that the matter of Marquis William had already touched the King’s reverse scale; it was betrayal. Yet Duke Zheng was stirring up trouble at this moment—practically seeking his own death.

Over the years, the Zheng family had indeed made some contributions and advanced smoothly, becoming a bit overconfident.

"James, you and Achilles take charge of this case. I want the truth, no matter what it is or who it involves, investigate it to the end!" Ola the Eighteenth’s voice was heavy, fully unleashing the king’s aura.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Achilles was called to the Cabinet, he was still confused. Only his father and Grandmaster James were there. Sensing the atmosphere, Achilles immediately shed his carefree demeanor.

James explained the situation and handed the photographs to Achilles.

"Achilles, you’re responsible in name, but learn more from the Grand Scholar in handling the case. I know you have a good relationship with William. During this time since your return, he’s been the one arranging everything for you, and you’ve been having a great time," Ola the Eighteenth said blandly.

Achilles dared not contradict, "Father, I understand the gravity."

"Send you to the Secret Castle, to the Holy Land, and now it’s time to test what you’ve learned. This matter is widespread, possibly involving even your uncle, but irrespective of who it is, investigate thoroughly," said Ola the Eighteenth, who had calmed down by this time, making things clear to his son.

"Father, for this case, it’s important to uncover the truth and also to control the impact within the smallest possible range. Suppress the newspapers for now," Achilles said.

James nodded, "I’ve already sent someone to handle it, Your Majesty, the Prince actually has a plan. I’ll follow along, assisting where needed. As for Hidden Powers, the Prince is truly adept."

"Teacher, don’t shirk your responsibilities. I only have a small bit of wisdom and need you to oversee things. Do we have any news from the Funeral Attendants? Let’s see what’s really going on before making a move," Achilles said.

James chuckled, "It should be soon. Travis’s competence is reliable."

Elsewhere, hundreds of Funeral Attendants surrounded the Mother Goddess School. When they make a move, it’s either not at all or with a big impact. This time, the Night Patrol really pulled off something big. It’s impressive they could even find such a place, and not only find it but also get photographs—how they managed it is beyond comprehension.

The Night Patrol has been a great success. If the Funeral Attendants don’t handle the follow-up properly, their reputation will truly be ruined. The mobilized elite are all from the Funeral Attendant’s action team.

Actually, for the Mother Goddess School, the greatest protection wasn’t the Earth Temple’s prohibition but the esteemed name of the Mother Goddess School. Now that the ’Golden Body’ has been broken, the action team of the Funeral Attendants will not hold back. All personnel have been detained, and the basement has been discovered. As soon as the door opened, a thick smoke and burnt stench billowed out...

At the same time, Marquis William’s residence was also surrounded, giving him no time to react before being subdued by the Funeral Attendants. At this moment, Marquis William was like a raging lion, "Are you mad? I am Marquis William, who gave you the authority to arrest me!"

"The King’s command personally, is that enough?"

The Funeral Attendants understood the rules well. Acting so blatantly could only mean the crime is unforgivable. And yet Marquis William was still furious, "Fine, fine, let’s see what you can do to me. I want to see the King!"

Marquis William’s family was also detained, all to be trialed. The commotion was so great that, involving the well-reputed Mother Goddess School, it became a topic for the entire city.

Such news cannot be suppressed or hidden. Both the Hedan Daily and the Hex Bird Report remained silent. Christie’s prepared report went unused, which wasn’t unexpected. Now it’s up to the Funeral Attendants; if they can’t seize this opportunity, then they’re truly useless.

Though Marquis William isn’t the mastermind behind the scenes, he is a crucial link.

Marquis William’s arrest and the raid on the Mother Goddess School led to speculations of treason or embezzlement by the Marquis, but soon, an even more explosive rumor emerged: Marquis William is the Inner Demon, using the Mother Goddess School to kidnap numerous children for sacrifice to a Demon.

At Lirong Inn during dinner, there were a lot more guests speaking Dragon Tongue, with everyone discussing this matter.

Li Xin was in the kitchen helping Ma Liu, and unusually, David, Dalivin, and others were all there. Justin had also returned and could finally join the table, being the Dragon Mother’s new favorite pet, eating and drinking for free, enjoying better meals than humans.

Old Fang looked at Li Xin with a slightly resentful gaze, so Li Xin doubled the portion of Old Fang’s dish, which made him feel a little better.

The Dragon Mother was dieting and thus skipped dinner, focusing on feeding Justin. Specially bought fish for Justin were boned by Ma Liu, keeping the fish’s original shape. Justin wore a small dress and sat on a special little stool, while the Dragon Mother fed it bite by bite, listening to the gossip.

Everyone was slightly envious of Justin’s treatment, finding it hard to enjoy the diced chicken on their plates.
