Chapter 149 - Relatives Can Also Be Enemies

Although the Diablo Empire had strong military power, guns were restricted and because of Ehione's previous policies, gun carriers were monitored and in order to get licensed, there would be several legal steps to get a gun license. Most citizens did not have firearms, or mecha armor, if they needed to protect themselves it was better to buy a bodyguard robot that could handle weapons, shields, martial arts and would not end up killing anyone by mistake, as they were programmed to hit the parts less vital than others.

"I…I…" Ghali tried to speak, but his voice was shaky and weak. The arrogant nobleman was far from showing himself now.

Faced with the cold barrel of a gun, the noble title was nothing short of laughable.

Chewe took two steps forward and Ghali took two steps back out of the room.

"The card"

Chewe's indifferent tone made the poor man shiver, even more, the look that seemed to have seen many deaths and caused some of them to send a shiver of fear through him.

Ghali handed over the card and the gun disappeared behind the closing door, Chewe didn't even waste time talking to that kind of scum. This was why he much preferred Wu Jian to any omega or beta who approached him because of the title of heir to the duchy, there would always be scum like Ghali doing anything to climb into his bed.

Chewe missed Wu Jian even more, he was already decided he would go to the military barracks and then he would cause trouble for Gyasi or Ade, he would stay at one of their palaces, he couldn't stay at his father's mansion anymore.

"Or should I buy an apartment downtown? Yes, I'm going to buy an apartment downtown, as soon as I can settle down somewhere first," Chewe thought, already packing. He had a lot of money, after all, he received a generous salary as a Military Doctor, in addition, he was the leader of the Military Doctors of the Gyasi Battalion, as well as working as a private doctor for Emperor Ade.

As he is very rich, he never touched this salary and kept everything, he was thinking of opening an NGO in the future, when he got married and assumed the duties of the duchy, having to retire from his work in the army and as a doctor, it would be an NGO for the most deprived areas where he could teach first aid and practice medicine freely.

Unfortunately, he would have to put off the dream for a while and buy a place for him to live well and not be under his father's control.

His father was acting weirder since Ade seemed to have taken a mate. Chewe knew his dad was prejudiced against humans, but in the last few days, he'd been getting more and more paranoid about it.

On the surveillance camera of the duchy mansion, Akin looked at the image of his son leaving the mansion, he had calm breathing and indifferent eyes.

"Won't you stop him from running away?" an older male voice sounded in Akin's office. He looked at the black man who looked 50 years old, with few wrinkles marring his face and white hair with several gray streaks.

"Uncle, I don't need an heir who gets involved with dirty humans"

"Is Naira going to be the new heiress?"

"Impossible, she's an artist and she only knows how to think about art, she couldn't handle managing a duchy"

Akin quickly discarded the involvement of his daughter in the political affairs of the duchy, the daughter would be easily fooled for not having been prepared to inherit the duchy, furthermore, she would become rebellious if she had to give up her art.

"So what? Will you let the duchy go back into the hands of Ehione's family?"

"Uncle, I don't see a problem. There are still the princesses and the fourth prince who can inherit the duchy. As long as it remains in the imperial family"

"Give Ehione's family more power, can't you see how their children behave? Getting involved with humans, hybrids, and the damn elves?"

"Uncle, Ehione's family is my family and your family too. Their children make mistakes, but the others are innocent and well to receive the duchy"

"You are very..."

"Weak, idiot, submissive? Just because I didn't want to be emperor back then? I do not regret it. Ehione proved to be a very worthy emperor and our empire has grown much more than I could have done. Does putting the interests of the imperial family first make me an idiot? Or does putting the empire first make me a submissive noble? So be it."

Akin said not caring about his uncle Lindani Azikiwe's bad mood, they've had this conversation several times. Previously, Marshal Azikiwe did not support Ehione's ascension to the throne and preferred Akin, who had a similar view of the outer races as he did.

In other words, they held the same segregated view that their race was superior and better than other races, having particularly hatred for the human race they long considered inferior, but which has blossomed to become part of the four great races of the galaxy.

As if to prove them wrong, but many still today could not accept such a situation. Some even believed in the conspiracy theory that the ancient gods and demons had done something to make humans prevail and become one of the strongest races.

The demons are the ancestral demons that devoured entire worlds, not the race of demons like the race of demons of the nine-tailed fox or even the Qiling.

As different gods from the good gods of each race, these gods were a constant threat to life, as obliteration was their ultimate goal.

Of course, they didn't know if such legends were ever real, but linking all of this to humans was just one more way to sully the existence of such a mighty race.

However, Akin was also well aware of his capabilities, he preferred to support Ehione in public policy and administrative reform than actually taking his older brother's place.

Probably because of the death of most of their brothers because of the various wars that the empire got into or created, but Akin and Ehione were very close despite being children of different mothers, as there were only the two of them in the emperor's palace, the princess regent raised the two together.

Akin indeed had a very prejudiced view of humans and elves, the former out of pure contempt and hatred for a weak race to become so great, while the elves were due to the tragic death of the princess regent who died in the terrorist attack in the territory of the elves.

The image of Mu Liang came to Akin's mind, the young man seemed to be a good person and was very humble and polite, but not yet worthy to father the crown prince. Of course, by genetic purification, the human gene could be discarded, which makes Akin tolerate such an idea of ​​a half-elf begetting the heir to the empire.

The situation changes when Ade is willing to take a hybrid of human and dragon to become the Empress, no matter how rare and powerful Emery is, or how much Ade had suffered from not having a mate and now was in love, still Akin he would do his best not to allow Emery to rise as empress.

"A dirty human blood representing my empire? Just over my dead body itself," Akin thought, ignoring that Emery had the power of dragons, that it would make other nations beg him to become empress or even grant them a look.

"Is the plan still going to follow?" Lindani Azikiwe asked looking at his nephew who had become a mature and competent man, but still too weak to crave more power.

"Yeah, anything to get that disgusting hybrid away from the emperor"

On the other hand, Gyasi went back to the palace and found Mu Liang on the balcony in the bedroom with his legs crossed. The gentle wind was in his long blue-black hair, the three moons seemed to lighten his fair skin and red satin garment, almost like a being. of light that descended from heaven.

Gyasi silently approached and was surprised to see the mysterious energy he had shared at the meeting with Emperor Ade, the light blue energy surrounding Mu Liang's body and seemed to float by the will of the prince, only to dissipate a little and reappear one more turn.

Mu Liang was trying to cultivate again but it was very painful as he attracted the Celestial Qi, but the Qi didn't want to enter his body, and when he achieved such a feat his body rejected the energy and caused significant pain.

He opened his eyes and looked at the three moons, sighing, he stretched and ended up touching someone behind him.

"Gyasi? When did you arrive?"

"I just got back from the meeting at the emperor's palace, have you had dinner?" Gyasi asked taking Mu Liang's hand and lifting him off the ground.

"I haven't had dinner yet, what about you?" Mu Liang said in a slightly better mood.

"Me neither, let's have dinner together then?"

Mu Liang didn't respond but hugged Gyasi directly, the hug was very tight and he put his ear to Gyasi's chest.

"Oh, what happened?" Gyasi asked stroking Mu Liang's hair.

"I was just missing you," Mu Liang said looking at his fiance's red irises.

There were some truths and lies involved in what Mu Liang said, he really missed getting all sticky with the groom, but he also felt a little guilty for being willing to invade the imperial family treasury.

Which made him leave the Tsun-Tsun1 behavior and a bit arrogant aside, to become a sticky muffin.
