Chapter 398 -398



"My Queen, shall I attempt to make him bow before you with my physical power? These magic-using kids are nothing when it comes to physical strength," another Royal Minister spoke. He possessed a well-developed and muscular physique.

"Yes," the Queen ordered.

"As you wish, my Queen," the Royal Minister said, rising from his chair with a smile on his face.

Approaching Anon, the Royal Minister placed his hands on Anon\'s left and right shoulders.

"Bow down to my Queen, you pathetic weak kid," the Royal Minister spoke as he pressed both of Anon\'s shoulders downwards simultaneously.

\'Now, go down, kid,\' he thought, but suddenly something felt wrong.

Forget kneeling, he couldn\'t even get Anon to budge from his position.

"What happened? Is something wrong?" Anon asked with a smile as he looked at the Royal Minister.

"Y-You, how dare you make fun of the strongest man in this court?" The Royal Minister said, pressing down on Anon\'s shoulders with all his strength.

Anon\'s body appeared fragile in his clothing, but no one knew that he had compressed muscles, brimming with so much strength that this Royal Minister was like a child in front of him.

"W-Why aren\'t you yielding to my power-?" The Royal Minister spoke, his face turning red.

"Don\'t worry... it happens," Anon said as he placed one of his hands on the minister\'s back and applied slight pressure.

Crack

Thud

The minister immediately fell to his knees, feeling his kneecaps crushed.

Everyone inside the Royal Court stood up, shocked as they observed Anon\'s feat.

"Who is this kid?"

"How can he make a Royal Minister kneel so easily?"

"He\'s a menace."

"I think he\'s a master in disguise."

The audience murmured various things about Anon.

"Kid, do you know where you\'re standing?" One of the mages asked.

"I do," Anon replied with a smile, looking at the mage.

"We can—" before the mage could respond, the Queen interrupted him.

"Wait, what was your offense again?" She asked with a smile.

"My Queen, he kill—" Faith began to speak, but she, too, was interrupted by the Queen.

"Not you, Faith. I asked him," the Queen said, turning her gaze to Faith.

"Y-Yes, ma\'am," Faith said, going down on her knees again.

"Speak up, kid," the Queen said.

"I killed all the members of the Paradise family, except one," Anon spoke without hesitation or guilt.

"Oh, you mean Peter\'s family?" The Queen asked.

"Yes," Anon replied.

"How many of you were together when you killed his family?" The Queen asked.

"What do you mean?" Anon asked with a confused expression.

"I mean, where are your partners? Did they get killed inside the mansion by Faith or by the guards of the Paradise Mansion?" The Queen asked, her smile designed to traumatize Anon by reminding him of his deceased companions.

"What nonsense? Who needs companions to kill a family like that?" Anon asked without hesitation.

Suddenly, the whole court fell silent at this statement.

"Faith... Can you explain what this kid means?" The Queen asked.

"H-He... he killed them alone, my Queen," Faith informed as she stood up.

A shocked expression suddenly appeared on Fiona\'s face.

"Aren\'t you an interesting kid? What did they do to you that you had to do this?" The Queen asked with a smile.

"This guy named Ares Paradise from the Paradise household killed my father and then kidnapped my mother and sister. After this, he threatened me that he would kill them if I didn\'t go to his designated place on time. I have this letter that is written by him," Anon explained as he showed the letter to the whole court.

"Bring me the letter," the Queen ordered.

"Yes, my Queen," a mage said as he cast a spell on the letter, causing it to vanish from Anon\'s hands and reappear in front of the Queen.

The Queen read the entire letter in one glance.

"This letter is indeed written by Ares. I know his mana pattern... he used magic to alter his handwriting. This kid is telling the truth," the Queen said as she examined the letter.

"Hey, why does the Queen know Ares\'s mana pattern? Is he also a criminal?" Anon asked Faith.

"... You idiot, she is Ares\'s long-distance relative, Aunt," Faith replied.

"Oh... that\'s why," Anon said.

"Wait, this place is on the coast of the Elven Kingdom, right? Why did you go to his house?" The Queen asked.

"Well, he kidnapped my family, so I took his family as hostages in their own house," Anon explained.

"How did Faith even find you?" The Queen questioned.

"Well, he killed my father and two of my neighbors... after that, he threatened my neighbors to lie to Faith about me murdering my own father, and he was the one who reported me to Faith in the first place..." Anon explained everything that had happened to him until now.

"So, you played with Oxmaul\'s mind and turned him into a lunatic, then Ares kidnapped your mother and daughter. But before he could do anything to them, you made a trade with him, in which you killed his whole upper noble family, right?" The Queen spoke.

"No, not the whole family. I let his mother go.... you see, I am a man of my word," Anon said.

"My Queen, this kid should be punished by the death penalty for killing an entire upper noble family, right?" the mage asked.

"No, I want to see a witness of this event. Call Ares\'s mother," the Queen demanded.

Suddenly, the gates of the court opened once more, and Ares\'s mother entered the court.

She immediately went down on her knees and greeted the Queen. "Long live the Queen."

"Stand up and tell me everything that happened..." The Queen asked again.

\'What\'s the point of repeating it? I just told you the whole story?\' Anon wondered as he sighed.

After another ten minutes, Ares\'s mother finally stopped speaking.

"...and then he cheated my son out of the deal that he made with him and cut his neck right off."

"Very well, I have heard the stories from both sides. Now, I will pass the judgment—" The Queen spoke, but suddenly, another mage started whispering something in her ear.

"Very well, Mr. Jule, you are charged with the crime of killing three upper noble family members, which carries a penalty of death. However, since you have this letter written by Ares, you won\'t receive a death sentence because it shows that this was a mutual revenge plan from both sides, and your neighbors have also confirmed that they were indeed threatened by Ares in the first place.

Still, you will receive a life sentence of 80 years within the city prison, and—" The Queen continued, but suddenly, the other mage started whispering something in her ear.

"Hmm.... interesting. Mr. Jule, are you planning to participate in the upcoming Academic Exchange that is two days from now?" The Queen questioned.

\'Hehe... I was waiting for this,\' Anon thought as a smile appeared on his face.
