“Lord Gong Si.
Sakai Yosuke half-knelt outside the screen with his head lowered. No matter how arrogant he was on the Astorokis, he did not dare to show any disrespect in front of this person.
The few guards behind him also let go of Lu Zi and did the same thing.
“Why are you here this blue-haired woman walked out from behind the screen and swept her gaze across the audience below.
“Lord Gong Si, there has been new progress regarding the shipwreck of the Astorokis that I previously reported to you. The matter is more complicated than I imagined.
“Oh? Tell me.”
Although the blue-haired woman sounded like she was asking, there was no concern on her face.
” Yes, just earlier, the Astorokis returned to the port. This should have been a joyous occasion, and I could also investigate whether my sister was framed for smuggling. Unfortunately, I found a large amount of saltpeter that belongs to the Flame Domain at the bottom of the cabin. The smuggling matter is already set in stone.”
However, before I could take the next step, the smuggled saltpeter exploded violently at the port, perhaps because of its poor quality or because of the way it was stored. Flames danced wildly, and thick smoke billowed. ”
” Although the Society and the Fufu Society worked together to provide immediate assistance, many innocent citizens who came to watch the Astorokis were still affected by the explosion and suffered heavy casualties. On one hand, I sent more people to rescue them, and on the other hand, because this matter is of great importance, I didn’t dare to delay at all. I immediately brought the criminal, Lu Zi, to meet Lord Miyasi.
After Sakai Yosuke finished speaking, the Miyaji woman, who had transformed into the Water God, finally shifted her gaze to Roko behind her.
“Do you have anything to explain?
‘ Lord Gong Si, Roko knew that she was guilty. She was driven by a thief using witchcraft and fell into a trap, implicating the Astorokis and Lord Risa. Roko was willing to be punished after the incident, but…”
Lu Zi knelt on the ground and said sincerely,”
” I hope that you can understand. Whether it’s the smuggling of saltpeter, the explosion at the port, or the Astorokis that lost its course at sea a few days ago and was attacked by a giant snake, I have already found some clues about the mastermind behind all these. It’s a foreign force from the cold winter.
Lord Yosuke has ulterior motives and is most likely colluding with foreign enemies…”
“Humph! Using such words to excuse himself and even trying to disturb the public and mess up the matter, do you think Lord Gong Si will believe it?”
Although Sakai Yosuke did not seem to be moved and only shouted to stop her, he was actually a little surprised. He did not expect that Roko already knew so much.
Lu Zi ignored the man and continued to plead with the blue-haired woman,”
It’s the Divine Wizard Selection that happens once every ten years in the Thousand Islands. The manpower and material resources of the Three Courts have been transferred away. Lord Gong Si, the enemy has targeted this time. Therefore, we must not let them succeed. Luzi, I hope Lord Gong Si can…” Take action personally! ”
“You… Y’
Sakai Yosuke was about to say something, but when the blue-haired woman’s gaze swept over, he instantly fell silent.
“I know what happened.”
“Sakai Yosuke has made contributions in investigating the smuggling. He rescued the people who exploded at the port in the first place and reduced the casualties. This proves that you are indeed qualified to take over your sister’s position. From now on, you can officially become the head of the society.
“Thank… Thank you, Lord Gong Si! Yosuke Sakai’s face was filled with ecstasy.
Although he claimed to be the temporary head of the family, there was still the word “temporary”. Only after being personally appointed by Lord Gong Si could he be considered to have completely taken over the society.
On the other hand, on Roko’s side, a look of disbelief appeared on her face. She did not understand why Gong Si had still…
“Lord Gong Si, then I’ll take my leave now. As for the punishment of the criminals, I’ll definitely…”
Before the man could finish his words, he stopped abruptly because the blue-haired woman did not end the meeting. Instead, she looked at Lu Zi and said again,
‘ Sakai Risa and her subordinates were supposed to be dismissed and imprisoned for abusing their power and smuggling goods, putting the people of the Thousand Islands in danger. However, they revealed the truth and exposed the enemy. It is suspected that there is a slanderer behind the scenes. Therefore, they were demoted and sent away. They will leave the Moon Abyss Island today and go to Sakuragi Island to serve as the island master to observe the results.
“This… Lord Gong Si, this, this isn’t appropriate!
Sakai Yosuke was dumbfounded by the blue-haired woman’s words. He could not help but ask questions.
“What, do you have a problem?”
After Miyaji Magi glanced at the young man coldly, Sakai Yosuke finally came back to his senses and realized what he had done by uttering those arrogant words.
Gong Si’s words carried weight, and no one in the Thousand Islands could doubt his words.
“No… No, I lost my composure. I will obey Lord Gong Si. “Sakai Yosuke was so frightened that he immediately prostrated on the ground.
The blue-haired woman didn’t pursue the matter further. She only asked indifferently,
“Other than that, is there anything else?”
