I Am Stuck In A Beta Test For 1000 Years

Chapter 206 206

Chapter 127. A Bunch of Trash!

In the living room of Prince Alaite's residence, almost all the influential figures in Elfheim had arrived. The five governors were sitting quietly, and the chairman of the Council of Elders and the twelve administrators stood behind the people they supported. The division of power was clearly divided.

Everyone remained silent, as quiet as wax statues.

Among them, only one person seemed to be alive.

The elven Queen, Esylian, was picking her nails slowly.

The outline of her face was too hard to be considered stunning. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her cheekbones were also high. She had a strong temperament.

Even though she was picking her nails in boredom, she did not exude the slightest bit of an easy-going and friendly temperament. Instead, she was more like a lion dozing off, a volcano about to erupt, and her deterrence was even more than usual.

"Alaite," She suddenly said.

Prince Alaite hurriedly stood up, but his legs trembled, and he almost lost his balance.

"Y-Yes!"

"Who is that b*stard elf you're trying so hard to protect? Is he your illegitimate son?"

Alaite knew she was referring to Felix, so he hurriedly got someone to wake him up and bring him over.

"He's an important suspect in this case, Your Majesty."

He then recounted how Felix had climbed step by step to his current position in the past month and how he had come up with the idea of getting a loan.

"That's the general process. The Board of Directors unanimously agreed that he has outstanding talent and vision, which is why the Morgenlight Chamber of Commerce entrusted him with such an important task! It was also because he obtained the loan certificate from Prince Yasuo that he could take such a huge amount of gold coins from the bank!"

Prince Yasuo couldn't sit still after Alaite's move to divert the crime.

The man stood up like the wind, his beautiful light golden ponytail swaying back and forth in anger and his two beards shaking.

"Sir Alaite, I gave him that proof for your sake. Answer me with your conscience. If I refuse, will you complain to the Queen that I don't support the activities of the Morgenlight Chamber of Commerce and deliberately make things difficult for you-"

"It's not that simple, Sir Yasuo!"

Alaite did not back down. "The Chamber of Commerce's loans have never exceeded 20 million gold coins in the past, but what's going on this time? You gave 90 million gold coins in one go and even seventeen loan certificates. Ridiculous! Is this something I can do? Every certificate has been examined by the people of the United Holy Empire, and your blood is on it. The handwriting is also the same!"

The prince immediately retorted, "Ridiculous! This was slander! I only gave him one certificate, and the other sixteen were forged by your people! Even an idiot would know there can only be one proof. Are you insulting the intelligence of everyone here?"

"Let's not talk about who forged it. Even if he was lost in his desire and did such a thing, who in the whole of Elfheim could do such an exquisite operation? To make seventeen gold transfer applications meet at the same time in Mephisto, and even the light-cast puppet at the gold coin center could not recognize this exquisite operation. Could a mere Chamber of Commerce manager do it?!"

His words were a hint that Prince Yasuo and the United Holy Kingdom were working together to deceive people, but the other governors present seemed not to understand.

He looked around and saw that the group of people was looking down, unaware of his hint.

Are they all idiots?

Can't they couldn't understand such a simple hint?

Alaite felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

Did they not understand, or did they not want to understand?

At this moment, Felix was brought in.

In the past, the fat merchant would have been so shocked that he couldn't move when he saw so many behemoths crushing him like ants.

But now, he only felt hot blood rushing to his head. Not only was he calm, but he could also see things clearly!

Prince Yasuo's eyes were like daggers piercing him. It was anger.

Alaite's eyes were filled with surprise and impatience. He was his salvation.

As for the others... Confusion, surprise, disdain, and curiosity.

Other than Queen Esylian's emotionless eyes, he took in everyone else's gazes.

He could not see the usual indifference in their eyes.

For the first time, they had no choice but to take him seriously.

And these... were the bargaining chips.

It was a basic requirement for a negotiation.

Mr. Char was right. They wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

They yearned for a negotiation where they had the bargaining chips and the right to bid and bargain.

These thoughts flashed through Felix's mind in an instant. He slowly straightened his back, and his eyes revealed the confidence of a top-class merchant.

Esylian's eyebrows moved slightly.

That's interesting.

"Felix! You dare to betray my trust!"

Prince Yasuo pulled out his sword and was about to stab forward. Felix's heart skipped a beat, but he held it back.

He didn't move! He didn't dodge!

The tip of the sword stopped a few millimeters in front of him, and the sharp aura on the blade made his face hurt, but Felix's heart was filled with great joy and accomplishment!

Mr. Char was right!

They don't dare to attack him!

"I did not let you down, Your Highness."

Felix bowed respectfully, and there was nothing to criticize about his etiquette.

"I paid such a high price to borrow gold coins from your bank because I have a business to do. You've also agreed to a nine-month repayment date. It's only been half a day. Why are you so angry?"

"But I didn't allow you to make a copy of the certificate!"

Prince Yasuo gritted his teeth, his hand holding the sword trembling slightly.

The other party's words made him feel slightly uneasy.

That demonic sword...

Although it was not enough to ruin his reputation, he did not want to give others a handle on him at this critical juncture.

However, he didn't dare to kill Felix.

This would make him look guilty. Furthermore, elves could retrieve the memories of dying people. He was not confident he could kill him in one strike with the Queen present. If the Queen found out about the sword, he would be even more unable to clear his name.

At this time, Alaite stood in front of Felix, his eyes cold.

"Your Highness, are you trying to silence him?"

"What a joke!" Prince Yasuo snorted, put away his sword, and returned to his position. He stole a glance at the Queen.

There was still no change in her expression.

However, she spoke.

"What is the price?" She asked.

"A sword, Your Majesty."

Felix's voice went past Alaite, humble and respectful but not fearful.

"What sword?" She asked again.

"It's better to let His Highness the Prince answer it personally."

Esylian looked at Prince Yasuo, who half-knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, it was a cursed weapon. It's no big deal."

"Hand it over."

Her words were light and airy, but they pressed down on the prince's heart like a mountain. He hesitated for a moment, then said "yes" and was about to get up and leave.

"You just need to move your mouth," said Esylian.

Prince Yasuo opened his mouth but could only nod with difficulty.

A Sunfire Personal Guard, a level 80 Sunfire Swordsman, entered the room.

Prince Yasuo gave him a few instructions, and the latter left to retrieve the sword.

Everyone returned to their seats.

At this moment, Esylian stood up and slowly walked to Felix's side.

"You may rise."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The fat merchant stood up. Even though he had been in a good mood since he came in, he could not help but tremble now.

The Queen's aura was so powerful that it was as if the sky was falling.

"Speak. Who asked you to do this?"

Felix was about to deny it, but Esylian's eyes shot at him like sharp arrows. He felt like he had been seen through, and he could keep no secrets in front of her.

No...

This can't go on!

There was no way to talk business in this situation!

Felix suddenly fell forward, his head making a bang as it hit the ground, and blood immediately gushed out.

This scene shocked everyone present. Even Esylian frowned slightly.

She didn't expect he would be so decisive and use self-harm to ease her deterrence.

With this in mind, she looked at the governor and the elves in the Council of Elders, suddenly feeling a little sad.

"What a bunch of trash, even worse than a bastard." She snorted.

"Men, treat him."
