World of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats!-Chapter 210 - The King’s Promise
Chapter 210: The King’s Promise
“It’s great that you two are alright…”
Seeing the two of them arguing over a small portion of black truffle, Peter sighed.
“Let’s eat together!” Hobrick waved the bread in his hand.
“I’m envious, but there are many things to do. Let’s talk after we’re done…”
Now that the Frederick family was defeated, dealing with the aftermath was often the most troublesome. When Peter thought of the headless situation in Wind City, his head hurt.
Peter rubbed the space between his eyebrows and started to read the documents about the affair between the Frederick family and the others.
Then, he called the royal guards and began to assign tasks.
Naturally, the first ones to be investigated were the nobles of Wind City.
Most of them were on the list of Gilbert’s accomplices.
Naturally, they would not be merciful to them.
“As long as they have names, send them to the execution platform…”
The king had long thought of how to deal with these guys.
This time, the king wanted to use the incident in Wind City to intimidate those who had harbored ill intentions on the mainland!
All punishments had to be severe!
Some of the noble Beastmasters knew the consequences of a capital crime. They even summoned their Battle Beasts, preparing to resist.
However, the royal guards were all experts. They quickly subdued them or executed them on the spot.
All their fiefs and properties were confiscated.
This time, the royal family had made a fortune!
There were more than 300 nobles who were escorted to the execution platform, all of whom belonged to the Fredrick family.
Before the execution, Peter showed his talent for public speaking.
He also made public the evidence of these b*stards’ attempt to subvert the royal family.
It made the crowd excited!
These citizens could not accept the war naturally.
After all of them were beheaded, Peter announced:
“From now on, Wind City will return to the royal family! All laws and regulations will be implemented in the same way as the rest of the continent!”
The citizens were very excited.
They could finally escape the cruel rule of the Frederick family!
After a busy morning, Peter finally had the chance to sit down and have a sip of tea.
Looking at the boxes of rare treasures that were confiscated from the noble families, he had completed his mission.
However, the strange thing was, other than some ancient books, there was no money or treasures from the Frederick family.
Peter looked at the old and the young who were reading a book and already knew what had happened.
‘They really know how to play dumb…’
Peter thought to himself and did not say it out loud.
First of all, he personally did not mind.
Second, before he came, His Majesty the King had also hinted that they could take whatever they wanted.
To the king, taking back Wind City was much more important than money.
“Old man! Let’s go back!” Locke suddenly stood up. He did not sleep well last night and yawned the entire morning.
“Mm! It’s about time. These books are very ordinary…” Hobrick put down the book.
“Wait, His Majesty has an edict…”
However, Peter did not take out the traditional golden document because they were all verbal edicts.
Peter looked at Locke and smiled. “You annihilated the nobles who were about to rebel. His Majesty is very happy! He said that if you have any difficulties in the future, contact me and the royal family will help you! This is your reward!”
The king had thought about it thoroughly. He knew Locke’s personal situation like the back of his hand.
Money? Locke was not lacking in it.
The king might as well give him a multi-function check where Locke could just ask for whatever he needed.
Locke was also very satisfied with his reward. He felt that the king understood him very well.
“I’ll empty the royal treasure room sooner or later! Hehehe…”
Looking at the kid’s evil smile, Secretary Peter immediately added. “But you can’t go too far…”
After making an “ok” gesture, Locke looked at the blue sky.
A plane was flying toward Wind City.
This was what Adelaide had immediately sent after he had contacted him in the morning.
At the airport, Locke was hugging the slender waists of two hot girls and was about to board the plane.
Secretary Peter suddenly called out to him.
“His Majesty contacted me again just now. Let me ask you, do you want to take up a post in the Heavenly City?”
“No! I don’t like living in the Royal Palace!” Locke’s attitude was still the same. He could not stand that kind of long imprisonment.
After shaking his head slightly, Peter said, “No! It’s not a position in the Royal Palace like a guard…”
This time, Locke became interested and asked with his eyes.
“His Majesty wants you to take up the position of a royal agent…” As Peter said that, he took the opportunity when Hobrick was not paying attention and put a small thing into Locke’s pocket.
Locke naturally would not make a sound.
However, this suggestion sounded rather interesting!
A royal agent?
Would not that allow him to gain access to many secrets?
Moreover, the Heavenly City was indeed a place that Locke was interested in. Hearing this, his interest was really piqued!
Just as Locke was about to ask further, Hobrick blocked in front of him and said, “There’s no need! Locke will not consider this position!” Then, he urged Locke to hurry back.
“Hehe… You can’t stop it.”
Peter looked at the plane that had already taken off and said meaningfully.
In the cabin, Locke squinted at Hobrick who was resting with his eyes closed and said, “Hey! They attacked the castle to save the princess, but I saved an old man. I really hope that this matter won’t be known by too many people.”
The two girls were amused and covered their mouths to laugh.
Then Locke asked, “What does a royal agent do? Why don’t you let me go?”
“Hmph… Anything! In short, don’t agree!”
“Can’t you explain it clearly?” Locke took a cup of hot coffee and his tone was filled with curiosity.
He still had many things that he did not know about this world.
With a living “encyclopedia” like Hobrick by his side, he naturally would not let it go.
Simply put, the so-called royal agents directly belonged to the king’s elite personnel.
They were responsible for spying, investigating incidents, and even carrying out assassinations.
They were in contact with a lot of people and things.
It was definitely not something that an ordinary person could take on.
Of course, it was also very dangerous.
If Locke was an agent, he would certainly try not to expose his identity.
This job was comfortable and dangerous.
It all depended on talent.
Those who did well would get rich while those who did poorly would die on the streets. There were all kinds of outcomes.
It was precisely because of these uncontrollable situations coupled with Locke’s youth that Hobrick turned down this challenging job for him.
“Humph… That guy, what does he want to do now?” Hobrick kept guessing his brother’s true intentions.
When he closed his eyes to think, he did not realize that an excited look appeared on Locke’s face…
Seeing that the principal and Locke had returned safely, Diana and all the instructors and students were very happy!
They were like people welcoming the triumphant return of the army, running toward the two of them!
“Move aside! Everyone, move aside! I want to examine the principal and Locke’s bodies to see if they are injured! Everyone, move aside…”
Chief Physician Carter held the stethoscope in his hand and trying to squeeze into the crowd.
