Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 334 Life-saving straw
Li En's words were piercing, hitting Aeneas Moria's heartstrings perfectly, as if he had actually witnessed Aeneas Moria doing just that.

In fact, Aeneas Moria did obtain a puppet from the Frank family and secretly placed it beside Grand Duke Moria, who then followed him into the Rift.

He believed that even an eight-star war knight would be severely injured if caught off guard by a magic bomb that was devoid of emotion and fear.

Given how dangerous the rift was, there was no way his father, Alex Moria, could have come back alive.

Yes, that was his plan, and also the Frank family's plan.

As for the other puppet who caused the disaster in the North, he was just a figurehead.

Compared to killing tens of thousands of people in the North, or even causing the entire Nightfall Territory to fall, it was not as important to the Frank family as eliminating Alex Moria.

While everyone's attention was focused on Nightfall, and the astute rulers of the North assumed the Frank family was testing the North to find out if Alex Moria was still in Nightfall, the Frank family already knew that Alex Moria was in the Rift and was plotting with Aeneas Moria to kill him there.

The plan devised by the Wise House for the Frank family was to plunge the North into a double crisis, ultimately allowing Aeneas Moria to turn the tide and become a puppet of the North.

At that time, Aeneas Moria will be able to bring the North back into the embrace of the Empire.

Those nobles loyal to the Moria family could still be used by the empire, and there was no need to kill them all.

This would allow the Empire to win without bloodshed, and also allow the surrendered North to continue serving as a northern bulwark.

The two puppets, devoid of any thought and even erased of their memories, changed hands several times before ending up in Sweetwater and with their respective fathers. All those who handled them were killed, rendering them virtually untraceable. All evidence was destroyed; the entire plan was flawless.

How could I possibly be detected?
Could it be that there's a spy among my own people?
Could it be that Angelina betrayed him?

Impossible, Angelina had no idea about his plans.

The only people who knew about the entire plan were himself and those from the Holy Empire.

It's impossible that the Holy Empire betrayed them; do they want to find a different proxy?

Even if someone were to be replaced, it wouldn't be Lyon Moria.

Li En's relationship with the current emperor and empress has reached a freezing point.

Forget about using Lyon Moria; just look at that ridiculously high bounty to know how much they hate him.

Throughout the history of the empire, no criminal has ever had a bounty exceeding 10 billion gold.

One billion gold coins is enough to establish another country on the Southern Continent.

Eliminate all impossible answers, and even if you arrive at the most outrageous result, it is still the truth.

Aeneas Moria stared at Li En in utter shock.

"The Eye of the Future is in your hands?"

What he could think of was not that Li En possessed the Divine Eye, but that the Gift, the Eye of the Future, had not disappeared with Randall and was still in Li En's possession.

This gift originally belonged to Jack Moria, Lee's biological father, so it's normal that it passed down to him.

Because those in the industry already know that Jack Moria's only child is Lee En Moria, and there are no other children to inherit his wealth and legacy.

Li En didn't bother to explain. The Eye of the Future can choose the future, but it can't see the past. Aeneas Moria must be out of his mind to come up with such an absurd answer.

Of course, some people can use the future to work backward into the past and complete the logical chain of reasoning.

Perhaps that's what Aeneas Moria thought.

Moreover, Aeneas Moria thought of even more.

It is believed that Lyon Moria was able to reverse the fate of the entire Nightfall Territory, preventing these people from dying from the plague, by using the power of the Eye of the Future.

He believed that he could have easily become the next Lord of the North with the support of the Empire, but it was Li En who changed the outcome, which is why he is now in deep crisis.

Thinking of this, veins bulged on Aeneas Moria's forehead, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he angrily grabbed Li En by the neck.

"What right do you have to do this? What right do you have to change my future, to change the future of the entire North? You traitor to the Empire, a separatist, a disgrace to the Moria family."

The double blow of having his lies exposed and his fate altered caused Aeneas Moria to lose his mind.

He had endured for so long by the side of Grand Duke Moria, and finally waited for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but this opportunity was thus squandered.

He was unwilling to accept it, but he was powerless to change it.

The Nightfall Territory has been saved, and the entire Northern Territory has been saved.

Even if Alex Moria in the rift were dead now, and the news of his death were to spread, the one who would ascend to the position of the next Lord of the North would not be himself, but rather Lyon Moria, whom everyone in the North praised.

He did so much, but it all benefited others.

The glory that should have belonged to him was all stolen by Lee En Moria, who interfered in his life.

"You thief, you robber, you've taken everything that belongs to me, everything I have."

Although Aeneas Moria was choking Li En with great force, Li En felt no pain whatsoever.

He's a Seven-Star Blood Shadow Knight; even if his neck is snapped, he's fine. Not to mention Aeneas Moria's power, which can only tickle him.

Li En merely glanced at Aeneas Moria, and his body began to recombine uncontrollably.

His hands were twisted and turned backward, causing him to grimace in pain.

His legs were also twisted, and he knelt on the ground, his bones making cracking sounds.

"Aaaaah, what did you do to me? What did you do to me? You devil!"

Aeneas Moriah roared as he lay sprawled on the ground, his limbs contorted in agony.

This is merely the simplest power of Order, altering the physical state of Aeneas Moria.

It turned him from a normal person into a deformed child.

For Lee En, his act of betraying the Moria family was inherently abnormal.

Li En knew his grandfather well. Although Alex was a romantic, he was absolutely protective of his children. He was kind enough to each of his children, even if he didn't have high hopes for all of them.

Alex was able to make the mediocre Aeneas Moria the lord of Frostlands to make amends to his mother and to give his talentless child a way out.

But Aeneas Moria was not grateful. Not only was he not grateful to Alex, but he also had no affection for the land where he had lived for so many years.

For his own purposes, he wanted to kill tens of thousands of people in the North and climb over their corpses.

His act of patricide and murder of the people has thoroughly enraged Li En.

Lee En could not tolerate such a traitor remaining in the North, in his grandfather's house.

"You are the true scum of the Moria family."

Li En said calmly,

“Since you have lost the backbone of the Moria family, then just stay lying there.” As soon as he finished speaking, Aeneas Moria suddenly heard the sound of his spine breaking.

It broke apart without warning, causing him to scream in agony and lose all strength, collapsing to the ground like a lump of mud.

If he weren't also a knight, he probably would have died from the pain.

"You devil, Lyon Moriah, you are not a chosen one of God, you are a devil! You damned devil! You will go to hell! You will die a horrible death!"

Aeneas Moria kept cursing, but this did nothing to alleviate his pain; it only drained his energy.

Li En looked at him coldly.
"It seems you still don't realize your mistake."

“I did nothing wrong. Father owes me all of this. He owes me and Mother. You thief, you shameless scoundrel, you devil. You stole all of this. What did you exchange for this future? Oh, your beloved? You couldn’t have gotten all of this without sacrificing anything. What’s the difference between you and me? You despicable devil.”

Aeneas Moria is now just a mouth; his legs and feet have lost their mobility, and his back can no longer straighten. He looks like a stray dog ​​with all his bones broken.

"It seems you know quite a bit. The price of using the Eye of the Future is indeed the sacrifice of important people, so even if the Eye of the Future were in my hands, I would never use it."

Li En remained indifferent, not minding talking to the dying man a little longer.

"What? You didn't use it? How is that possible?"

Aeneas Moria's pupils contracted.

“You still underestimate the power of the chosen ones. I am Tiger’s chosen one, and I can see things that you cannot.”

Li En said lightly.

"You...you, you possess the Divine Eye?"

“Aeneas Moria, now it’s your turn to answer my question. You cannot lie.”

This is a rule that prevents Aeneas Moria from lying or resisting.

"How much information about the Rift did you betray?"

"All the information that my family has access to, all the information I can get my hands on."

"What exactly?"

“Some documents contain knowledge of the civilizations of the Old World, including technologies such as genetic inheritance and cell division. I don’t actually understand them, but the people of the Institute of the Wise have deciphered them.”

Although he really didn't want to answer Li En's question, Aeneas Moria simply couldn't stay silent or lie.

He was horrified to discover that Li En was no longer just the legendary six-star Blood Knight; he had mastered the power of order, the ability of the Order Knights.

"Who is the puppet you planted next to Grandpa?"

Li En continued to ask.

"Martha Olsen".

Aeneas Moria tried his best to resist with his will, but to no avail; he still uttered the name.

"How did you send the puppet in?"

"The smugglers in Armstrong Harbor have been involved in the slave trade. They hide puppets among the trafficked boys and girls, then sell them to nobles. Through layers of nobles, they set traps so that the heroic Isaac can rescue the puppet, discover her knightly talent, and then personally send her to her father to become one of his guardian knights, following him into the North. The witch of Sweetwater is even easier to deal with; after being sold several times, she is eventually sold to the Sweetwater Church."

"Where is the person who sold it?"

“I’ve already killed them all, I won’t leave any evidence.”

“Very well, your crimes are enough to send you to the guillotine or the gallows.”

Li En snapped his fingers, and the people hiding in the room all came out.

These are Tarica, Leam, Aunt Kelly, and other current leaders of the Moria family, as well as Angelina, Aeneas's daughter.

Angelina couldn't believe that her father was plotting to destroy the North and kill her grandfather.

Angelina was raised by Grand Duke Moria from a young age and had a very good relationship with him.

Like Diane, she was Grand Duke Moria's most beloved and pampered granddaughter.

"Dad, how could you do such a thing?"

Angelina questioned him through tears.

“Angelina, Angelina, please save me, save me! This man is a demon, he is not a chosen one of the gods, don’t be bewitched by him.”

Lying on the ground like a stray dog, Aeneas pleaded with his daughter Angelina.

“We already know, Aeneas. You are not worthy to be Angelina’s father, much less her son. You will be forever expelled from the Moria family. You will no longer possess the noble Moria surname. Aeneas, you will be sent to the guillotine as a traitor.”

Tarica shielded Angelina behind her, looking at her brother Aeneas lying on the ground with disappointment.

“Tarika, you can’t do this. You have no right to do this. Only my father can remove my surname.”

Aeneas roared.

“Aeneas, you have no right to mention your father anymore. You are a sinner in all of Moria and the North!”

Leam drew his longsword and held it to Aeneas's neck, saying angrily,

“If it weren’t for the need to give an explanation to the people of the North, I would want to kill you right now, you traitor. You killed my Dave and you even tried to kill my father.”

Mrs. Rose frowned and glanced at Leam. She was still thinking about the executed mistress. It was no wonder that Moria was hated.

She suddenly became a little worried that her son Raven might become as hostile to his father as Aeneas.

It seems I have to act even more affectionate in front of Raven.

The thought of showing affection to her husband, whom she already loathed, made Mrs. Rose very uncomfortable. She would rather flirt with her maid than touch any more of the Moria men.

Seeing everyone criticizing him, and realizing that his evil deeds had completely corrupted him, Aeneas reached out, trying to grab Angelina's skirt, trying to grasp at his lifeline.

“Angelina, I am your father. You can’t just stand by and watch me die. Without me, you wouldn’t exist.”

“Father, I’m sorry. Grandpa was also your father. Without Grandpa, there would be no you. When you decided to kill your father, you no longer had a daughter.”

Angelina wiped away her tears, looked at Aeneas with disappointment, and uttered the most resolute words.

Compared to her father Aeneas, Angelina spent more time with her grandfather Alex.

This was also because Aeneas wanted to use Angelina to curry favor with Alex and to gather intelligence about him at any time.

Unfortunately, he didn't expect that his only daughter would not stand by him because of this.

His lifeline had long since disappeared.
