King of Assassins-Chapter 941 - 655: The Grand Curtain, Part 2
Although Huo Wen Yuan was arrogant, he dared not be too presumptuous in front of Jin Yijun, for he was a Golden Belt Saint and could not be lightly insulted.
He nodded and said, "Mr. Jin, rest assured, I'll listen to you."
Only after reaching an agreement did the two enter the room together.
Seeing Jin Yijun and his group come in, the guards hurriedly retreated.
Although the living room was spacious, it felt cramped and crowded with so many people standing.
Gao Xuan, who was sitting on the sofa watching a movie, also stood up. He had seen Jin Yijun before and knew he was a high-ranking official in the Inspection Department, a Golden Belt Saint, with a tough personality and rather ruthless methods.
Huo Wen Yuan wouldn't have been able to invite him; it was most likely that Huo Wuming sent him.
Gao Xuan looked at Jin Yijun but said nothing. He didn't even look at Huo Wen Yuan; that young man was just an ignorant playboy, not worth his attention.
Huo Wen Yuan stood there with a cold expression, but the fact that Gao Xuan completely ignored him made him even angrier.
However, coming from a noble family, he wouldn't lash out furiously, no matter how angry he was.
He only stewed in his heart, pondering how to viciously humiliate Gao Xuan and return the humiliation a hundredfold.
Seeing Gao Xuan remain silent, Jin Yijun had to take the initiative to ask, "Why do you want to see Minister Huo?"
Gao Xuan replied, "This matter can only be discussed with Minister Huo."
"I fully represent Minister Huo. What exactly do you want?"
Jin Yijun was somewhat displeased; despite being a dignified Golden Belt Saint and a high-ranking official, Gao Xuan did not seem to regard him at all.
He said blandly, "If you have nothing to say, surrender and wait for your trial."
Gao Xuan asked, "What crime have I committed? Why should I be expelled, why should I be arrested?"
Gao Xuan pointed at Huo Wen Yuan, "Just because of this brat?"
Jin Yijun laughed instead; did Gao Xuan, who climbed up from the bottom, really think this naively?
It's not entirely unclear, yet you're still asking?
However, even if things were as such, it couldn't be openly admitted.
Jin Yijun stated, "You behaved improperly, frequently skipped classes, and rudely clashed with the teaching instructor. Your actions do not meet the Inspection Department's standards, so expelling you is justified."
Gao Xuan questioned further, "Alright, expelling us is one thing. But what crime have I committed to warrant my arrest?"
"You provoked and harmed others, severely injuring a staff member, which constitutes a serious crime."
Before Jin Yijun could finish, Huo Wen Yuan chimed in from the side, "You killed my friend; you can't escape this murder charge."
"Killed?"
Gao Xuan was a bit surprised; were they really so ruthless? He only intended to teach the woman a lesson, knowing that if left alone, she wouldn't die.
Huo Wen Yuan insisted, "She died of severe injuries just now."
That woman, with her divine soul impacted and her spirit in decline, wouldn't die, after all.
Yet, to righteously deal with Gao Xuan, Huo Wen Yuan just had his men kill the woman. As long as she died, this score would be settled on Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan glanced at Huo Wen Yuan, "I underestimated you."
Huo Wen Yuan couldn't help but show a smug smile, "Now that you know, isn't it a bit late?"
Yuan Youyuan also stepped out from the bedroom; she had overheard Huo Wen Yuan's words and felt a heaviness in her heart.
Wounding someone was one thing, but murder was trouble. She didn't believe Gao Xuan would kill someone casually.
Yuan Youyuan raised her voice, "Don't think you can just frame us; we didn't kill anyone."
"Ridiculous. If you didn't kill her, do you mean I killed her?"
Huo Wen Yuan sneered, "Admit your mistake and apologize sincerely, and maybe I'll let you off lightly."
Yuan Youyuan was young and hadn't seen the sordid means of noble families. Now framed for murder by Huo Wen Yuan, she was infuriated.
Yuan Youyuan, originally bright and sweet-looking, now seemed angry and anxious, though trying to stay calm. She couldn't help but emit a sense of vulnerability and pitiableness.
Huo Wen Yuan's eyes glowed, such beauty was rare, especially the act of being strong yet weak, igniting a flame in his heart.
To play with a woman like this, to compel her to reluctantly give in despite unwillingness—how amusing!
Huo Wen Yuan suddenly said to Yuan Youyuan, "Black Tiger killed a woman of mine. So, if you come with me, I can overlook this."
Yuan Youyuan was bewildered, not understanding Huo Wen Yuan's train of thought.
The key was, was she that foolish to take such words seriously?
Yet Huo Wen Yuan assumed Yuan Youyuan was moved; he gave a playful smile, "Follow me, and the past will be erased."
The flunkeys behind Huo Wen Yuan chimed in, "Seventh Young Master is being merciful; hurry up and thank him."
"It's your fortune to be with Seventh Young Master."
"Why are you hesitating? Seventh Young Master favors you…"
Jin Yijun felt embarrassed; as a dignified Golden Belt Saint, he was part of the shameless bullying, with rough tactics absurdly childish.
On Sea Emperor Star, he had interacted with both Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan. Gao Xuan was particularly inscrutable.
No matter the circumstances, this man always seemed calm, yet exuded an unfathomable aura.
Yuan Youyuan was more lively but highly capable and clever, speaking and acting excellently. Despite being from the Outer Star Realm, she carried the dignified aura of a noble lady.
In contrast, Huo Wen Yuan had been pampered since childhood, never leaving the Central Star Realm and behaving childishly.
Of course, Huo Wen Yuan wasn't very old, only eighteen this year. He wasn't brainless, just lived too comfortably and never needed to think critically.
Thus, compared to Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan, Huo Wen Yuan seemed youthful.
Jin Yijun was reluctant to speak; if not for Huo Wuming's instructions, he would have turned and left.
Ignorant of his actions, Huo Wen Yuan said arrogantly to Gao Xuan, "You killed my people, so paying the debt with your woman is quite fair. Besides, you must kowtow and apologize to me."
Gao Xuan ignored Huo Wen Yuan and asked Jin Yijun, "Did you bring him here to amuse us?"
Jin Yijun felt embarrassed but had no explanation. He could only assert firmly, "Either follow Seventh Young Master's words, or you both admit guilt and comply. The choice is yours."
"It's really unexpected that a new era will be ushered in by a clown…"
Gao Xuan sighed with a sense of helplessness, "Perhaps such absurdity is more dramatic."
Jin Yijun sensed danger; his divine soul detected an enormously dangerous aura. He promptly activated Sharp Gold Saint Armor and Geng Metal Fierce Sun Sword.
As soon as the two Third-Grade Spiritual Artifacts surfaced, Gao Xuan's left hand conjured the Netherworld King's Demon-Sundering Blade, and the Netherworld King's Divine Realm unfolded.
The Netherworld King's Divine Realm sliced through space, engulfing the entire apartment building into its realm, transforming it into a domain independent of the Positive Cosmos.
All of Jin Yijun's Third-Grade Spiritual Artifacts were suppressed by the divine law, unable to function with Source Power. Huo Wen Yuan and the others stared in bewilderment, clueless about what was happening.
The intense spatial changes triggered dramatic reactions from various defense arrays across Xianyang Star, with beams of Holy Light shooting skyward.
Several disciples and numerous divine envoys on Xianyang Star immediately sensed something amiss.
Many top-tier formidable beings directed their focus to the location of the Netherworld King's Divine Realm.
Everyone was shocked and furious; a potent and stringent space law defined an independent space—clearly a Divine Realm. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Could it be that an Evil God infiltrated Xianyang Star? What Evil God is so audacious; it's a blatant provocation to the Holy Hall!
