Chapter 528 The Depressed Emperor

"What the hell is going on? Why did Stephen take such a ruthless move on you?" the emperor asked sternly.

"This~" Shadow Sword Saint Joseph immediately softened, and he didn't know what to say. After all, the assassination of Catherine was related to him, and the old mage did not find the wrong person to settle the score with him.

When the emperor saw him stammering, he immediately became angry and immediately roared: "Speak quickly!"

When he saw the emperor, the shadow sword saint Joseph did not dare to hesitate anymore and hurriedly said, "It's not for Catherine!"

"Oh!" the emperor hammered the bed hard, and then shouted angrily: "I knew, I knew he would not give up! He looked for me when Catherine was assassinated the first time, and I warned you, but you just didn't listen and even dared to assassinate him for the second time! How about it? He got angry, right? Are you happy now?"

The shadow sword saint Joseph was scolded by the emperor for being bloody, but he did not dare to talk nonsense at all. Although he was also full of grievances, he did not dare to put the blame on the third prince, so he could only be scolded with his head hanging down.

The emperor cursed for a while, and was a little tired of holding it up. He picked up the teacup on the table, took a few sips, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly put down the cup and asked, "No, didn't I let you stay in Winster Castle? Why did he see you again?"

"No, Your Majesty, I didn't run around. It was Stephen who led his men to attack Winster Castle at night. I escaped after trying my best!" Shadow Sword Saint Joseph hurriedly explained.

"What?" The emperor's face suddenly changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked: "Where are the others? Where are the holy realms? And who are the reserve students?"

"Stephen has completely destroyed Winster Castle, they~" Shadow Sword Saint Joseph said helplessly: "I'm afraid it's a lot of danger!"

"What?" the emperor immediately said furiously: "Winster Castle was destroyed? None of the masters of the Holy Land who had been cultivated had escaped?"

"Yes, yes!" Shadow Sword Saint Joseph lowered his head.

"It's your head!" The emperor then picked up the teacup and smashed it over, and then said angrily: "You bastard! In the past few decades, in order to let you organize shadow assassins, I have thrown in more than 10 million gold coins! More than 10 million gold coins! Are you ruining them all for me?"

When the Shadow Sword Saint Joseph heard this, he was speechless. In fact, it was no wonder that the emperor was angry, and the losses he caused this time were too heavy. You know, he had organized the Shadow Assassin Land for decades, and he obtained hundreds of thousands of gold coins every year. So the total amount of funds consumed did reach a terrifying 10 million gold coins. Such a large investment of funds would be completely lost, and anyone would be so angry.

Of course, the emperor was angry. Why was the shadow sword saint Joseph angry? You know, the reason why he was able to win the emperor's trust was because of the shadow assassin organization. Although he spent tens of millions of gold coins from the emperor, he created five holy domains, plus hundreds of elite masters, and he only made no loss.

But now, not only those five sacred lands are finished, but even the seeds of the training in the old lair and inside have been wiped out. In this way, it is equivalent to completely erasing the Shadow Assassin Organization. If you want to recover, it will be impossible for decades, but can the emperor still be willing to give him tens of millions of gold coins to support him? Even if the emperor supports it, the old mage will definitely not help him train the magician again. In other words, I am afraid that the Shadow Assassin Organization will never be able to reorganize in the future. In addition, he has one hand disabled and can no longer be able to restore to his previous state. All this adds up, which means that the poor Shadow Sword Saint Joseph no longer has any attention for the emperor.

And once he loses the emperor's trust, what else can he do? Perhaps the best ending is to die in obscurity for life. Such a result is obviously too cruel for him, the ambition of sword saint. Thinking of this, the shadow sword saint Joseph wanted to bite the old mage to death.

Thinking of this, Shadow Sword Saint Joseph immediately said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, although I was wrong with the assassination, but that bastard Stephen should come to me too? Why should he use the entire Shadow Assassin organization to vent his anger? He clearly doesn't take you seriously. His Majesty's efforts to destroy it for decades. This is his sin, so can't you forgive him easily?"

"You still have the face to say it!" The emperor immediately cursed: "If you hadn't made your own decisions, would I have suffered such heavy losses? As for Stephen, what can I do to him if I don't forgive him?"

"You should send someone to arrest him and then convict him!" Shadow Sword Saint Joseph immediately said.

"Are you fucking stupid?" the emperor then said angrily: "Stephen just killed a group of assassins who assassins who assassinated the princesses, and they have made no mistakes. What excuses should I use to judge him?"

"This~" When Shadow Sword Saint Joseph heard this, he suddenly understood. It turned out that although the other person started a massacre, he was still a reasonable party. If this matter started, they did have any merits and no faults. After all, the shadow assassin was the first to assassinate the princess!

Then the emperor continued to curse, "Besides, don't you know what Teacher Stephen's status in the Griffon Empire? I will give an order, who dares to arrest him? Do you dare?"

"This~" Shadow Sword Saint Joseph immediately frightened his neck when he heard this, and thought to himself, if I meet him, I am afraid that he will kill him on the spot without even saying the order to arrest him.

"Hmph!" The emperor snorted coldly, then took a few breaths, remembering something again, and couldn't help but curse again: "Damn it, Stephen asked me to waste tens of millions of gold coins, but I can't blame him, but I have to say good things to him!"

"Yeah? Why is this?" Shadow Sword Saint Joseph immediately said in confusion.

"Do you still need to ask? Idiots! How many people have you killed over the years? If Stephen made the Shadow Assassin public, the relatives of those killed would not eat me?" The emperor said angrily: "I must not beg him to keep it secret!"

When the Shadow Sword Saint Joseph heard this, he suddenly realized. It turned out that in the decades when the Shadow Assassin was established, they did not only train, but also did a lot of work. Most of them dealt with the disliked politicians for the emperor. Those guys dared to fight against the emperor, so they naturally had some support, and were not afraid that the emperor would deal with them openly, so the emperor could only use the Shadow Sword Saint to solve the problem. The Shadow Sword Saint's subordinates did a good job. Even if those people were killed, they were all disguised very well. Although some relatives of the deceased suspected the emperor, they had no evidence and could only give up.

If the old mage was angry and exposed the shadow assassin, the emperor would be very happy. You should know that those deceased were not all from the Griffon Kingdom, but also from other small and medium-sized powers in the mainland, and even occasionally there were nobles from major countries. If the relatives of the deceased learned the truth, they would probably unite. At that time, under internal and external troubles, they would be afraid that their throne would not be stable. With such serious consequences, the emperor would be furious when he thought of it.

Since the Shadow Sword Saint Joseph knew the seriousness of the matter, he certainly did not dare to force the emperor and Stephen to turn against each other. He hurriedly changed the topic: "Your Majesty, do you think the matter of the Shadow Assassin, do you still continue?"

"Still keep going? Do you think I have 10 million and you want to squander it?" the emperor cursed in anger.

"No, no, I will definitely not use that much this time. You forgot that I have a group of elite soldiers under my command, with dozens of masters who have reached level 6." Shadow Sword Saint Joseph hurriedly explained: "I have improved the improvement plan and can greatly increase the success rate. As long as you support me, at most a year, I promise to get you two more holy assassins!"

When the emperor heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "How much does it cost?"

"Oh, 500,000 gold coins!" Shadow Sword Saint Joseph hurriedly said, "For 500,000 gold coins to exchange for two masters of the Holy Realm, your majesty, no matter how you think this transaction is worth it!"

"It's a big deal. I'll have to get dozens of Level 6 masters in it!" The emperor was obviously not that easy to deceive. He then said angrily: "Your success rate is less than one tenth, how can you do it? Isn't this a waste of talent?"

"Your Majesty, I can't do anything about it? The success rate is really hard to improve!" Shadow Sword Saint Joseph hurriedly said, "However, the masters of the Holy Realm are completely different from the sixth level masters. Under normal circumstances, only one of the one hundred sixth level masters can enter the holy realm, and I can achieve three or even four, which is already very good!"

"Oh!" the emperor sighed and said, "Can't you think of a solution? These dozens of Level 6 masters have spent a lot of gold coins when they were trained? It's just wasted, I really can't bear to let it go!"

"Your Majesty, you can't bear to let your child go and you can't get a wolf. There is nothing you can do about it!" Shadow Sword Saint Joseph hurriedly said: "You should put the overall situation first!"

"Yeah!" The emperor let out a long sigh, then waved his hand tiredly, and said, "Let me think about this again, you go and rest first!"

"Yes!" Although Shadow Sword Saint Joseph was unwilling to accept it, he could only retreat helplessly.

After sending the Shadow Sword Saint away, the emperor, who suffered heavy losses, seemed to have grown ten years old for a while. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head and said, "Teacher, you are too cruel! Can't you leave a way out for me to live?"

Just as the emperor sighed, the old mage who failed to pursue the death also returned to the magic tower. When he saw Lao Xie, Lan Fake and Swen, he cursed in anger: "Joseph is so kind to me, he is not worthy of being a sword saint at all. He is a coward! Bastard! He only knows the villain who fled in the panic!"
