Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 125: Putting Blame On Each Other

Sharky’s expression became angry. He was going to show them who they were targeting.

A gentle voice sounded in his ears. "Should I help out?"

Sharky couldn’t help but chuckle. Turns out Diana was paying attention to the situation the entire time. He chuckled when he thought about how she was peeping through the door’s cracks.

"There’s no need. These are just ants to me," Sharky quickly replied through ki.

What kind of joke is this? If Diana exposed herself, he needs to run from there.

"But they were going to arrest you, I can’t see it!" Diana was clearly unhappy, when she saw her lover in trouble.

"Relax, I have a plan." Sharky quickly replied. He was going to think about some other things, but then he noticed a lavishly dressed figure appeared nearby.

He thought of something and fiercely berated, "Cheng Xiong, is it because I saved the crown princess and ruined your plans last night that you are so determined to get rid of me?"

The crown princess frowned when she heard this. She was confused as to why there were so many imperial guards surrounding that place, but she immediately came to some conclusions when she heard this voice.

With her status, she naturally understood that Cheng Xiong was a part of King George’s faction. Could it be that they really were behind yesterday’s attack?

The conflict between the crown prince and King George was already reaching its climax. Nothing was too surprising at this point.

Cheng Xiong was about to give the order to attack, but when he heard this, he was shocked and furious. "Bastard, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?!"

The words Sharky spoke could send him straight to death! If he carried this type of criminal charge, then his entire clan would be eradicated!

Sharky said coldly, "No secrets can remain secrets forever unless everyone involved is dead. If this wasn’t your objective, then why did you charge at me as if you’ve lost your mind? Are golden envoy tokens easy to bully?"

With this, Cheng Xiong’s soldiers couldn’t help but look at their general. This really was quite strange! The Justice Envoy were figures that were usually avoided. It was already a blessing if these envoys didn’t come looking for you! Yet you’re provoking one of them on purpose, moreover a golden token envoy?!

Cheng Xiong was about to explode from anger. Framing others wasn’t anything new for him, but this time, he really felt like Sharky was suspicious, that he had something to do with the assassins. Yet now, he was the one being suspected instead!

"Scoundrel! You dare slander my name? Die!" He brandished his blade. A wave of surging power cleaved down at Sharky.

He also had other intentions for doing this. He wanted to witness Sharky’s combat skills. Once it was revealed that he was of the flame element, furthermore able to use that flame blade from last night, then that would prove everything.

Sharky harrumphed. He sent his palm towards the blade. The Heaven Devouring Sutra sucked away all of the ki on his blade.

"What is the name of this technique?" Cheng Xiong was incredibly bewildered. Whenever they fought, his strength would suddenly vanish. He knew that he might not be able to defeat his opponent one on one. "What are you all staring at? Charge at him!"

The palace’s imperial guards all had their formation techniques they excelled at. Once they fought together, a single opponent stood no chance against them.

Those guards already completed their formations. They raised their bows to fire at their opponent. Suddenly, a dignified voice sounded from the side. "Halt! What are you all doing?"

Everyone turned their heads. They immediately bowed down in respect when they saw who it was. "We greet the crown princess!"

Cheng Xiong was alarmed. Why is this woman here?! However, he bowed at once as well, not daring to show any negligence.

Catherine’ eyes coldly scanned this place. "You all really are something! I didn’t see all of you doing much when the assassins attacked yesterday, yet aren’t you vigorous and lively now?"

The imperial guards were all ashamed after being criticized like this by Catherine.

Cheng Xiong was comparatively more calm. He quickly explained, "The crown princess has misunderstood. We are only investigating."

He then explained how the palace gate guards noticed that there was someone who blended in with an Justice Envoy uniform.

Catherine harrumphed. "Since you know that that person was an assassin, then why didn’t you catch him?"

Sharky almost broke out laughing. That’s my girl! Her thoughts are the same as mine.

Cheng Xiong stopped breathing for a moment. He quickly explained, "We only found out later on."

Catherine turned around to give Sharky a look. She thought to herself, He is just as cool and handsome as I remember. Her lips couldn’t help but curl upwards.

However, when she turned around to look at Cheng Xiong again, her face already became much more emotionless. "Since you didn’t notice anything back then, then how can you be so certain that this Justice Envoy is the assassin? Do you all have any proof?"

"This..." Cheng Xiong was speechless. After all, these were all only his own personal speculations. Even though everything made sense, he lacked concrete proof.

"The reason we are searching the Justice Envoy’s uniforms is precisely to look for proof. Those innocent definitely have all of their uniforms, while the one who helped an assassin escape is missing a set."

Catherine gave Sharky a look when she saw how determined Cheng Xiong was.

Sharky sneered and said, "I previously already asked, how can your one-sided statement alone demand innocence? In the future, can I accuse you of any random crime and then overturn your entire home as a result? General Cheng, can you accept this type of result?"

Catherine’ thoughts moved quickly. After Sharky’s earlier reminder, she now really suspected that King George’s faction was trying to deal with those loyal to the crown prince. "Indeed. General Cheng, your argument is not convincing enough."

Cheng Xiong endured his rage and said, "Crown princess, this general really isn’t speaking without thinking. Yesterday, there were guards who walked around this area and happened to see two Justice Envoy walk out from his house. They can serve as proof. Everyone knows that Justice Envoy always acts alone, who would invite another one into their private residence? That is why the other one was definitely an assassin!"

He sneered. The moment Sharky failed to give a proper response, he would immediately close out this victory and force him to talk about the other Justice Envoy’s identity. It would be hard for him to escape then.

Catherine looked at Sharky with a frown. "Did this type of thing happen?"

Sharky shook his head. "All of this is nonsense. When did I come out with another Justice Envoy? Those imperial guards are all your subordinates, so they will obviously do what you tell them to do. General Cheng, you’ve truly gone quite far in order to frame me."

Cheng Xiong almost spat out blood. This man was lying through his teeth! There is someone this shameless in this world?

Whenever he framed others, everything would be arranged to perfection. He could accuse others of guilt even if they didn’t have any. Yet today, he knew that this person was guilty, yet he instead felt helpless in taking him down!

Cheng Xiong quickly said, "Crown princess, please do not let this person deceive you. He harbors evil intentions and has colluded with the assassins. He has definitely done atrocious things in this conspiracy."

Catherine cut him off. "Enough. If Sir Eleven has truly colluded with the assassins, then why would he go so far to fend off the assassins and save me... ahem... and the crown prince?"

Cheng Xiong subconsciously replied, "The assassins by the Palace of Peace and the Eastern Palace might not be from the same camp. He has colluded with the assassins from the Palace of Peace, but that doesn’t mean that he is related to the assassins by the Eastern Palace."

Catherine’ expression sank at once. "He rescued me and the crown prince, yet colluded with the Palace of Peace’s assassins. Is General Cheng claiming that we wanted to kill the empress?"

Cheng Xiong was horrified. "This general doesn’t dare! That is not what I was trying to say..."

He wanted to say something else, but he was immediately cut off by Shradhha. "Enough. Sir Eleven is someone who his majesty and Zhuxie Chixin personally approve of. If there was something wrong with him, then perhaps it means that General Cheng thinks that his majesty and Sir Zhuxie aren’t wise enough, that they would choose the wrong person?"

Cheng Xiong was sweating buckets. "This general absolutely does not dare."

This woman really was formidable. She was accusing him of things one after another, and he didn’t dare shoulder a single one of them.

Knowing that there was no way he could take down Sharky with the crown princess here, he decisively had his subordinates withdraw from this place. At the same time, he began to think to himself, why the crown princess would appear at this time. He was going to prepare more carefully next time. He wouldn’t talk to Sharky and would instead just arrest him on the spot.

When Cheng Xiong and his men left, Catherine turned around. Her originally vicious expression immediately eased up, her dignified eyes carrying a bit of gentleness. "Hubby, are you alright?"

The scene of how she reprimanded Cheng Xiong reappeared in his head. Now that was what I call dashing!

He stared blankly for a moment when he saw her smile gently towards him.

"Hubby?" The crown princess blushed when she saw the other party stare at her like this. She coughed lightly to remind him.

Sharky snapped out of his daze and said, "Thank you Catherine, for helping me out of my trouble. I am fine."

Catherine was clearly still worried. "Did Cheng Xiong really trouble you, if you want we can fix him."

Sharky smiled. "Someone like Cheng Xiong isn’t enough to trouble me. But still, it was thanks to you, or I don’t know what I have done."

Catherine blushed. "I’m glad I was able to help."

Then, she nodded towards Sharky with a smile. It wasn’t convenient for her to speak too much to him in public, because he was dressed as Eleven and was not in his real identity as Sharky.

Diana, who was waiting for him to come in, couldn’t help but stomp her feet. "This rascal!"

Meanwhile, Sharky returned to his own courtyard. Diana was currently lying on the bed.

"Ah, there was so much trouble," Sharky sat down with a big smile. He poured a cup of tea to drink.

But when he sipped on this tea while admiring the amazing beauty before him, he felt relaxed and carefree.

Diana harrumphed. "Your relationship with the Crown Princess seems pretty good. With her protection, nothing would’ve happened to you."

She was clearly angry at him, seeing him flirting with another, while she was worried for him.

Sharky came beside her, and started rubbing her hands to calm her down, "I think you didn’t know, I am her adopted brother," He explained.

But how could he have known that this would piss the other party off? Diana suddenly got up, "Don’t make excuses in front of me. I clearly know you flirted with her. It was not the brother and sister relationship. It was like a husband and wife relationship. And, here I was worried, while you were enjoying the outside..." She was only talking about it casually at first, but she got more and more angry as she continued.

Sharky quickly hugged her, he knows how to calm down a girl, who has fallen in love, "I am sorry for making you worried. Did you completely recover." He asked.

Diana’s angry expression calmed down, and her eyes became gentle. She also hugged him tightly, and started feeling his gentle embrace. "I have not recovered completely."

"I am also sorry, you are still tired from solving the suspicion of people here, and I became angry with you," She apologized.

"It’s okay, they can’t do anything to me," Sharky replied.

"Why don’t you make the first move," Diana suggested.

"What do you mean to make the first move?" Sharky asked curiously.

"Didn’t the emperor put you in charge of finding out who leaked out the information that he wasn’t in the palace? You can deal with Cheng Xiong with imperial authority on your side?" Diana suggested.

Sharky’s face lit up. "The one who told you was Cheng Xiong? Wait, that doesn’t seem right."

He quickly rejected this thought. If Diana’s insider was Cheng Xiong, then she definitely wouldn’t have told him in this manner.
