The moment these words were spoken, the entire Vienna Grand Hall fell into dead silence.
A giant question mark appeared over everyone’s head: “Huh?”
Sal was even more startled, his heart skipping a beat. He nearly spat out the tea he had just drunk.
Laura was the first to react, shrieking furiously: “Luo Lin! If you can’t have me, don’t slander me! How are we traitors?!”
Luo Lin sneered, instantly activating the “labeling” skill that college students honed in online competitive games.
“Did you guys just beat up and insult a noble of the Papal State at the princess’s banquet?”
“So what? What’s wrong with insulting a waste like you?” Sal tried to stay calm.
“Oh, you admit it, don’t you!” Luo Lin pressed on. “You beat up the Grand Duke’s son on Papal State territory. Are you saying you don’t put the Pope in your eyes? Disrespecting the Pope, is that disrespecting the entire Papal State’s laws and divine authority? Ignoring laws and divine authority, are you trying to rebel and commit treason?!”
This messy chain of causal deductions left the nobles present dumbfounded.
Generally speaking, no fool would believe such absurd slander. But the one saying this was Luo Lin, the capital’s most notorious lapdog! Remembering his pathological obsession with Laura, if he hadn’t really stumbled upon some heinous crime, why would this ultimate simp suddenly bite his master?
Laura was shaking with rage. “You, you, you lapdog have changed?! Don’t think that by pulling this fake ‘playing hard to get’ trick to frame us, you can get my attention! I will never like a waste like you!”
Luo Lin ignored her, turning and grabbing Alice’s sleeve, tears streaming. “Oh, Alice, look at them! Not only do they want to betray the country, they’re threatening me! Bullying a patriotic youth with no magic! You have to get justice for me!”
Luo Lin’s mind was as steady as an old dog. When you’re embarrassed, never answer other people’s questions—that only leads to a trap of self-justification! At times like this, you have to take the initiative and muddy the waters!
Clever as Alice, how could she not see through Luo Lin’s rambling sophistry?
But she had always been extremely protective of her people, and she had recently received intelligence about cultists infiltrating. Since Luo Lin was finally willing to crawl out of that bitch’s quagmire, she would naturally go with the flow and indulge him.
Alice sneered, her fair hand waving slightly.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
The Royal Knights in heavy armor appeared neatly inside the hall.
The Royal Knights! All of them were transcendent-level terrifyingly strong!
“Detain them. Search them.” Alice’s voice was icy.
Sal completely panicked, cold sweat streaming down. “Princess! You can’t just take his word for it! He’s being unreasonable!”
However, the Royal Knights, who had been loyal to the Akshia Family for generations, wouldn’t give him a chance to quibble. They directly walked toward Sal.
The surrounding nobles looked at each other. “Could it be… that young master Sal really has a problem?”
Laura stomped her foot in fury. “Enough! Luo Lin! I know you’re jealous of young master Sal’s talent, but this despicable false accusation only makes me find you even more disgusting!”
“Ah, right, right, right,” Luo Lin crossed his arms and revealed an extremely punchable smile. “You’re mad, you’re mad, you’re mad.”
The knights wouldn’t waste words with them. They were absolutely loyal to the Akshia Family. Two knights immediately stepped forward and pinned Sal down from left and right.
“Let me go! You’re insulting a noble!”
Sal struggled wildly, his violent thrashing tearing half of his robe.
Riiip—
The moment the silk tore, on Sal’s right shoulder exposed to the air, there was a jet-black, fang tattoo that exuded a sickening, violent aura!
The entire hall gasped.
That was the Apostle Mark of Wrath Demon God Samoll, one of the Seven Deadly Sins!
“What the hell?” Luo Lin’s eyes bulged, a curse slipping out. “Bro, you’re serious?!”
He had just randomly made up a label to get out of an awkward situation, but he actually managed to hit a jackpot?!
The hall instantly fell into extreme panic. On the Sera Continent, every country had freedom of belief—even believing in the God of War or the God of Order was fine. But the extraterrestrial chaotic “Seven Deadly Sins Demon Gods” were an absolute taboo! Cultists, who committed all kinds of evil, were like rats in the street—everyone wanted them dead!
“Luo Lin—! I’ll kill you!”
Seeing his identity completely exposed, Sal let out an inhuman roar in rage. His eyes turned blood red, and his right hand transformed into a huge black claw, tearing through the air with a terrifying sound. He actually momentarily bypassed the knights holding him and recklessly swiped at Luo Lin’s face!
It was too fast! The black claw, carrying powerful mana, rapidly enlarged in Luo Lin’s pupils. Luo Lin, with no magic at all, couldn’t even form the thought to dodge.
‘It’s over. First day after transmigration, and I’m about to die…’
