Chapter 181 - I am not Yale "Paku, do you know your sin?"
Chapter 181: I am not Yale “Paku, do you know your sin?”
The cold tone of voice almost froze Paku; he had never been so scared since he was a child.
“I should have stopped my eldest son’s ambitions.”
Paku knew he could be blamed for his eldest son’s behavior.
“Wrong. You should have taught him well from the start. If you had paid attention to him, you would have been able to correct him before he became a traitor.”
Paku always had too much work as a king, and he never paid too much attention to his sons after they grew up; such behavior created people like the Twin Eunuchs or the eldest prince as Paku didn’t even punish them when they did something wrong.
“Your eldest son isn’t the only problem; you have a lot of sons and daughters with intolerable behavior for people who descended from my disciple. You said that your wrong was that you didn’t stop your eldest son’s ambitions. However, when did you truly punish your children? You just punished those Twin Eunuchs, and that was because it was related to someone you couldn’t ignore.”
The king didn’t reply; he knew better than anyone else that he had been too soft-hearted with his descendants.
“You failed in both, educating them well and punishing their wrong acts to guide them for the right path. Your children turned wild, and the inhabitants of this kingdom turned into their toys. Remember, I am the one who gave that divine beast bloodline to Anpaes, although your bloodlines are diluted I can still erase all your power an turn all of you in mere mortals.”
Paku believed that threat, he had heard about his father’s master, he was someone who could just kill without hesitation a disciple that had angered him. He had the fame of being someone who rewarded very well his disciples, but at the same time, he was also someone extremely severe with the punishments.
Yale’s previous life had access to Yale’s memories, so he had obtained a lot of information about the current state of the Anpaes Kingdom. He had asked Anpaes to create that kingdom to make a better place for half-beasts to live and gave him that divine beast bloodline to help him, but if the kingdom just turned into a place of discrimination using that bloodline to oppress others, he might just erase that bloodline’s power.
“I am sorry! I should have paid more attention to my children! I know my mistakes, but please don’t act against our bloodline. Not all of my children are bad; there are still some good ones.”
Yale’s past life didn’t plan to erase the bloodline’s power, that was just a threat, but if he met the same situation again after the threat, he wouldn’t hesitate in turning it true. However, he would just punish those who deserved it; he wouldn’t apply a collective punishment.
Moreover, he wasn’t just angry with the royalty of the Anpaes Kingdom; he had also detected some undesirable behavior in some people of the Zhan Clan as they wanted to kill Yale; if they weren’t far and Yale’s past life’s time wasn’t limited he would have wiped them out. He wouldn’t be soft just because they were his descendants, he had no way to control them since he had been dead, but he would severely punish them if he had a chance.
“Right, not all are bad. Sebe seems to be good; he is the only reason for giving you another chance. But remember, my identity should be a secret for him and Shirk.”
Yale’s past life favored Sebe and Shirk due to the good relationship they had with Yale. Moreover, he didn’t want to turn the things more difficult for Yale by revealing his identity to everyone.
“Sure! I will put all my effort into helping Sebe from now on; he will become a better king than me!”
Paku looked at Sebe who was still concentrated in absorbing the legacy. At that moment the beast parts on Sebe had already disappeared, he looked completely human; the legacy included the divine beast bloodline from Anpaes.
“Don’t disappoint me. Now I will clean up this mess as a farewell gift for my foolish disciple. I plan to leave this city after that, don’t look for me.”
Paku just nodded, based on the information he heard about his father master, his sin was enough for a heavy punishment; he was happy to have just received a scold and a threat.
Yale’s past life moved towards the eldest prince while checking the space-time barrier of the city. There, he noticed the Mysterious Expert who had entered the barrier after having dealt with those vengeful spirits.
“Oh, I will need to have a talk after I finished this cleaning.”
Yale’s past life couldn’t be fooled by the Mysterious Expert, nor the Mysterious Expert had any intention to hide from Yale’s past life, so Yale’s past life discovered the Mysterious Expert real identity in an instant.
He continued walking until finding one of the eldest prince’s lackeys who was patrolling the castle to find anyone who had escaped.
“Who are you? This is a restricted area, surrender now and you may live as a slave to our new king!”
There wasn’t even a reply before that guard died with his soul utterly destroyed.
“So, this guy was someone who had his soul enslaved; you can thank me for destroying your soul and freeing you your fate as a slave.”
He had soul-searched all the memories from that lackey and knew very well the current situation. After discovering everything, he decided to give those traitors a fate worse than death, the guard who was soul-searched was the lucky one to just die without suffering.
Yale’s past life reached the throne’s room where the eldest prince and his lackeys, except some guards that were patrolling, were together with everyone else in the castle, but the others were all unconscious in the floor. They had already confirmed with Spiritual Sense that there wasn’t anyone else in the castle, but they sent some people in case someone was good at hiding his presence form the Spiritual Sense.
Since the guards were all soul slaves, they had lost the capacity of using their Spiritual Sense correctly; the only one who could use it well was the eldest prince.
“Who are you? How do you dare to not bow in my presence? I am the new king of the Anpaes Kingdom! Wait, you are a damned human! Kill him!”
Seeing that the other party didn’t have any beast parts the eldest prince went mad and wanted to kill him.
“Your Highness, this kid is in our reports, he is Sebe’s friend, but he was supposed to have wolf ears. Maybe he has a divine bloodline like your esteemed grandfather.”
One of the guards beside the eldest prince picked up a paper and give it to the eldest prince; it was filled with information about Yale. He was a target to investigate since the Twin Eunuchs event.
“So, you are this Yale. You should know that Sebe had been already killed for being a traitor to our country. You have a divine beast bloodline. Then, you still have some uses. Turn into my lackey now, and you will have a good life as the highest class of slave.”
Yale’s past life didn’t react; he was just thinking how it was better to torture that presumptuous kid.
“I can even be more magnanimous; I will give you your sister and ensure she isn’t mistreated as long you serve me well.”
One of the guards grabbed an unconscious woman by the neck and showed it; she was Aiwai.
“So, what do you think Yale? She is already my slave, but you can still improve her level of life.”
The eldest prince knew that there was some mysterious background behind Yale and Aiwai, but as he already turned Aiwai into his slave, he had a hostage to make Yale and that background submit to him. The only reason he didn’t try to turn Yale into his slave immediately was that his soul would be more damaged in that way and he already damaged Aiwai’s soul too much; he feared that also harming Yale too much would make their background stop bothering about hostages.
“What happens, Yale? Do you have a fear of being against an almighty expert at Rank 9? Don’t worry I won’t kill you if you behave well.”
The eldest prince increased his confidence after not receiving a reply; he thought that Yale was scared of him.
“Are you speaking to me? I don’t know why a weakling who is just Rank 9 dare to speak to me being so cocky. Do you have some mental issues?”
The eldest prince was utterly enraged by those words, he had read about Yale’s age in those documents, and he couldn’t tolerate that a kid spoke in that way against him.
“Of course I speak against you! You are Yale, a mere five years old kid who is still in the Novice Rank. I have lived for more than seventeen thousand years, show respect to your elders!”
Yale’s past life wanted to laugh because for him someone with seventeen thousand years was still a kid.
“Sorry, but you are misunderstanding something. I am not Yale.”
After saying those words the eldest prince and his lackeys turned unable to move while the souls of the others started to restore to their state before turning slaves.
