But neither they nor Qiao Lai showed the slightest intention of apologizing to Chao Yin.
"The attack on my father's palace came as a surprise to me, but the people here are all my honored guests. If you wish to search them, please leave."
Joley said calmly:
"Furthermore, you have trespassed into my palace today. Go back and complete your report, then commit suicide."
He spoke as if it were a trivial matter.
Facing the Third Prince, Chao Yin bowed his head respectfully and said:
“I apologize for causing Your Highness’s displeasure, but the mission is not yet complete, and I have no right to commit suicide.”
"I am here on orders and will not be disrespectful to your distinguished guest. There is only one person here, and I just need to ask a few questions."
Joley frowned and said:
"Who?"
“A hunter named Diya, according to the list you submitted, is the only foreign VIP here, and I must conduct a screening in accordance with regulations.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd turned their attention to Dia, who had just approached.
If they remembered correctly, this hunter was brought by the twelfth prince.
Could he be the assassin who broke into the royal palace?
Chapter 362 GAMEOVER×Girl Huai Chun?
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Dia calmly said:
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Say what you will, I need to ask you a question now."
Chao Yin strode toward Diya, his eyes burning with excitement.
The closer he got, the more he could feel the subtle pressure emanating from the person in front of him—this dangerous aura was unmistakable.
Anyone who can infiltrate the royal palace and escape unscathed must be an extremely powerful martial artist, and this hunter in front of us... fits the bill perfectly!
Chao Yin's excitement became even more evident.
The search for Dia was a spur-of-the-moment decision he made without telling anyone else, but a vague intuition made him quite certain that the person in front of him was a suspect.
He seemed to see an opportunity to earn merit right in front of him. As long as he caught that hunter and tortured him, he would be guaranteed a first-class merit this year!
As for how tragically Dia would die later, that was none of his concern.
"Sorry, but who told you to run into my line of fire?"
As he rubbed his hands together in anticipation,
Suddenly a figure flashed out and blocked his way.
"Enough! What right do you have to ask him that!"
Mumu Ze stood in front of Diya, her eyebrows raised, her eyes seemingly spitting fire, and shouted:
"Dia is my man. Your suspicion that he trespassed into the royal palace is an implication that I'm about to rebel!"
These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the onlookers.
Especially since Mumu Ze's anger was so rare, many people cast disgusted glances at Chao Yin and whispered among themselves:
"This rude soldier has actually angered the usually mild-mannered twelfth prince so much..."
"Exactly, the King's Army is getting more and more confused about its own position!"
"Yes, yes, could it be that the prince is also a traitor?"
Perspective determines viewpoint. These wealthy and noble guests were born to stand on the side of royalty like Mumu Ze, and naturally had no goodwill towards the peasant-like royal army.
So when the two seemed to be in conflict, these onlookers sided with Mumu Ze almost without thinking.
As for whether what Chao Yin said is true or false...
Does this have anything to do with them?
Who told you to run into our line of fire?
Chao Yin was taken aback. Hearing the gossip around him, he looked at the prince in front of him and immediately stopped in his tracks.
'What's going on? Why are they blaming me?'
Despite his young age and outstanding military achievements, Chao Yin was momentarily at a loss as to how to deal with the situation before him.
His actions also provoked the dissatisfaction of another person—
Prince Jolai frowned as he looked at the impudent soldier, then suddenly said in a cold voice:
"He's my guest, so behave yourself!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Chao Yin froze, finding it hard to believe.
He never expected that his simple wish for Radia to claim credit would simultaneously provoke the hostility of both princes.
What kind of spell did this guy cast on the prince?
Jolai calmly took a sip of his drink.
His reprimand of Chao Yin was not an attempt to curry favor with Di Ya, but rather a genuine expression of his true feelings.
In Jolay's view, a mere soldier of the King's Army, even if he came on orders from his superiors, had no right to be disrespectful to the guests he had invited.
Just like a pet dog, no matter how much you like it, you can't allow it to bark at visiting guests.
When Asahin came to his senses, he immediately felt endless humiliation and anger, cursing inwardly:
'You bunch of idiots! Is he your father? Why are you all defending him like this?!'
The accusations from those around him and the reprimands from the two princes made him feel that his loyalty to the royal family was a joke.
Did he do something wrong?
'No, it's all the hunter's fault!'
Chao Yin gritted his teeth and looked at the hunter, only to find that the man was playing on his phone with nothing to do!
Seeing the incredulous look in Chao Yin's eyes, Di Ya nonchalantly put away her phone and calmly looked back.
Everyone hates the privileged class, but it has to be said that it is indeed very satisfying to use power to oppress others.
After standing there for a while, Chao Yin lowered his head, suppressing his anger, and explained softly to Mu Muze:
“Your Highness, I meant no disrespect to you or Mr. Dia, but this is an order from the royal palace, a matter of duty. I believe Mr. Dia is willing to prove his innocence, rather than allow you, Your Highness, to be unjustly accused…”
Mu Muze stared at him coldly and uttered a single word:
"roll."
'Oh shit!'
Chao Yin cursed inwardly, but dared not show it on his face. He had no choice but to throw caution to the wind and directly asked Diya:
"Mr. Dia...where have you been for the past half hour?"
Although he had offended two princes, there was still room for maneuver as long as he could find evidence of the hunter's intrusion into the royal palace. Neither the king nor the lieutenant general would let him die.
Of course, it's at the King's Palace.
Of course, this couldn't be said aloud, Dia thought to herself.
Mumu Ze's anger intensified. Were the King's Army members now courting death?
She turned her head, intending to pull Diya away, when she suddenly felt her arm being grabbed.
'Um? '
Mu Muze was taken aback when she saw Diya give her a reassuring look.
Just now, he had already discussed a strategy with Poxon on his phone, which would be enough to get through the current situation!
If he doesn't answer and leave now, he'll only seem suspicious and attract the real attention of the King's army.
The soldier in front of me, though he seemed convinced that he was the intruder, clearly made his own judgment based on the fact that he came alone.
This amount of time is simply not enough for the King's Army to investigate him. The current crisis, if used properly, might actually become an opportunity for him to clear his name!
He said quite naturally:
"I've been here for the past half hour."
When he left earlier, he deliberately bypassed the soldiers and guards who were watching him, so it was impossible for anyone to have seen him leave.
"What evidence do you have to prove this?"
Chao Yin lowered his head and asked, seemingly respectfully.
He didn't say anything as stupid as asking to access the surveillance footage.
Everyone in New Delhi knows that the Third Prince's palace does not have surveillance cameras installed, just like the King's Palace. The official explanation is that this is to prevent outside hackers from hijacking the surveillance footage.
Suddenly, Poxon emerged from behind Dia and calmly said:
“I can testify that he was with me the whole time, and everyone else could see that.”
As she spoke, she seemingly casually turned her head and glanced at the crowd, then pointed at a short, somewhat timid-looking girl, saying:
"Miss, you should be able to see that I'm with him."
"Ah, me?"
The girl looked flustered and was so nervous that she was almost incoherent.
"Yes, you and your companion should have been able to see us very clearly from that angle, right?"
Pokson remained calm and asked the question with a clear conscience.
The girl was speechless for a moment, then looked to her companion for help. Her companion had never encountered this situation before, and could only whisper to her:
"It seems...that's indeed the case."
