Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Chapter 179: Apocalypse Paradise

"Your Majesty." The old tailor walked forward with a limp and bowed respectfully to the emperor and empress who had just entered the store.

The emperor held out his hand and said amiably, "Please stand up. I came here to see how the dress I ordered is going. Tomorrow is the princess' wedding day."

The old tailor responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, the dress is ready and waiting for your personal inspection."

As he spoke, he slowly pushed open the door of the inner room and invited the emperor to come in for a visit.

The emperor nodded slightly, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over Lin Yi who was holding a dress beside him.

"Your Majesty, please let the Queen try on the dress first to see if it fits." The old tailor said respectfully.

The queen smiled gently, took the exquisite dress, and walked lightly into the fitting room.

As the door of the fitting room slowly closed, the emperor's gaze naturally turned to Lin Yi.

"Tell me, why did you come to see me this time?"

From the moment the emperor stepped into the tailor shop, he keenly realized that Lin Yi was not a waiter in the store.

The emperor knew the four waiters in the tailor shop very well, and Lin Yi's face was obviously out of place among them.

Therefore, he concluded that Lin Yi must have other intentions in this trip.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, stepped forward, and saluted the emperor: "I, the descendant of the Lin family, Lin Yi, pay my respects to your majesty."

"Lin family?" The emperor repeated softly, his brows slightly raised, as if searching for relevant information in the ocean of memory.

“Yes, the Lin family of Fate City.”

A look of realization flashed across the emperor's face.

"Why did you choose such a special way to meet me? Where is your father now?" The emperor's tone revealed a bit of confusion and inquiry.

Lin Yi lowered his eyes, his voice filled with undisguised sadness: "Your Majesty, the Lin family... no longer exists."

"What?" The emperor stood up in astonishment, his expression frozen in an instant.

The Lin family has always been a chess piece he has carefully laid out, and has long played an important role in accumulating wealth and monitoring the Filin family in Fate City.

"It was the work of the Filin family," Lin Yi said in a low voice, "They suddenly launched an attack, and I escaped by luck, but the family..." His words were full of pain and powerlessness.

The emperor's face suddenly became as gloomy as water, and anger was boiling in his chest: "What on earth does the Filin family want to do? Are they trying to rebel?" The emperor's words were full of coldness and majesty, which was frightening.

The destruction of the Lin family was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the emperor's strategic layout.

The Lin family, as his right-hand man, had always been an indispensable source of wealth for him. But now it had vanished into thin air overnight, and he knew nothing about it.

Obviously, the Filin family was trying hard to conceal this news, which made the emperor even more uneasy and angry.

Lin Yi continued, “Your Majesty, before our Lin family was attacked, we accidentally found a letter. I speculate that this letter may be the fuse that led to our family’s misfortune.”

The emperor took the letter with some doubt and noticed that there was no mark on the envelope.

He opened the envelope, unfolded the letter, and began to read every word on the letter carefully.

As he read deeper, the emperor's brows gradually furrowed and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

The content of the letter obviously exceeded his expectations, forcing him to re-examine the current situation.

The reason why Lin Yi did not hand over all the letters to the emperor was because he was well aware of the emperor's shrewdness and suspicion.

In this world of fierce power struggle, any evidence that is too perfect may be regarded as a trap. A single letter is enough to attract the emperor's attention and also seems more authentic.

Furthermore, these letters are extremely confidential and sensitive, and are usually burned after reading, leaving no trace.

It was already extremely rare for Lin Yi to obtain one letter from Kro Filin. If he said he had obtained all of them, it would seem too false and might even arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Therefore, Lin Yi chose to submit only one letter, which both expressed his loyalty and avoided possible suspicion.

When the emperor's eyes fell on the distinctive seals of the four major families at the bottom of the letter, anger instantly burned in his heart.

"You are so unscrupulous. Do you think my royal family has declined?" The emperor angrily kicked the table in front of him to the ground.

The deafening noise immediately attracted the attention of the royal guards outside, who quickly pushed open the door and rushed in.

"Everyone retreat. No one is allowed to enter without my order." The emperor turned around suddenly and gave a stern order.

Upon seeing this, the commander of the Royal Guard immediately led his men to retreat quickly and orderly. They knew that the emperor's orders could not be questioned and they dared not neglect them in the slightest.

The emperor paced back and forth in the room anxiously, his anger burning in his heart.

This incident not only meant the destruction of the Lin family, but also was a blatant challenge to the royal authority.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He knew that as the king of a country, he must not lose his composure at such a critical moment.

"Tell me everything you know. I want to see what the four major families are up to." The emperor's tone was cold and threatening. He tried his best to suppress his inner anger, his eyes fixed on Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and began to clearly explain the information he had.

For the emperor, the authenticity of this information was secondary. He was more concerned about the deeper intentions hidden in it.

When the emperor heard that the four major families planned to launch a rebellion at the royal wedding tomorrow, his face suddenly became gloomy and terrible.

He was shocked and horrified, realizing that the seriousness of the situation was beyond his imagination.

"Very good! Very good! Very good." The emperor was so angry that he laughed. "I was originally planning to wait a few years before taking action against you. Now it seems that I was too merciful before."

He paused and looked at Lin Yi, "Don't worry, your report has been meritorious this time, I will definitely keep you safe."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have also heard some news. It is said that the four major families have planted a group of spies in the army to pass on information for them."

As he spoke, Lin Yi drew the branding pattern of Apocalypse Paradise and handed it to the emperor respectfully.

The emperor took the drawing and examined the brand carefully.

At this moment, the emperor did not have much doubt about Lin Yi's words.

Tattoos are an identity symbol, and ordinary people will not get the same mark tattooed for no reason.

This discovery undoubtedly provided him with important clues to uncover the conspiracy of the four major families.

The emperor said coldly: "Don't worry, I will make those traitors pay the price they deserve." The emperor already had a plan to deal with the four major families.

Just then, the queen walked out of the fitting room in a gorgeous dress.

Her presence softened the atmosphere in the room.
