188 Chapter 180 - Elite Soldiers, Lady, and Hog's Blood.

"What?" Jason was both surprised and confused with the King's statement.

"His Majesty means that, he accepted your collaboration." said the King's servant who was holding laughter a moment ago.

Jason who just aware of the situation kneeled down and bow to the King as a sign of royalty.

After that day, Jason will be summoned to the King's Palace from time to time... To make desserts. This makes Jason wonders if the choice his made is correct, that guy doesn't feel like the rumored fearsome, evil tyranny King no matter how you see it.

"Regretted at your own decision?" a lady walked into the kitchen as Jason was making some pastry for the King, that lady is none of the other but the lady official that gets framed and excommunicated from Qing's Empire, Shangguan Rei.

"I don't know what is that supposed to mean, My Lady." said Jason, trying to hide his own little thoughts.

"Well, you see, sometimes you can't just judge people on the first impression. I mean, it's not like everyone will want to show people their true nature at the first impression. You get what I mean?" said Rei, Jason nodded and decided to trust Rei in that.

And not long after this, Jason realized Rei is telling the truth.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jason was summoned by the King again, he was predicting what kind of desserts will the King wants him to make again, however, this time it's different...

The King's servants lead him directly to the great main hall. As he entered the main hall, he saw a man getting pressed on the ground by the King's guard, Jason immediately recognized him as one of the elite soldiers that he cooked for him once.

"Hmm... From your surprised look, I can confirm that you know this person. He was caught trying to sneak in through the borderline. So, if what you said that day are real, then he must have consumed the Kirin's blood, right?" said the King, in a casual tone, however Jason can feel a weird pressure when looking into the King's eyes, as if the King is going to swallow him alive in any second.

"But how are we going to confirm it? Do you have any ideas?" the King asked again, this time with a smile, which caused Jason to flinched a bit.

But he soon calmed himself down, as he knows he never lied to the King.

"They said that, after a person consumed the drug, that person will be extremely sensitive towards blood, especially..." Jason stopped his words, as he realized how wrong things could be if he actually said it out.

"Blood from young lady huh? I read it from some random book before... Hmm? Oh! You must be thinking it will be really inhuman to get a young lady for testing this huh? Don't worry. Satoshi, get her out." said the King.

"This lady is the one that helped the Emperor's consort to frame Rei, I have been thinking what should I do to her, I guess, today is a good chance to take revenge for Rei, don't you think so?" said the King, with an evil smile.

The King's servants opened the prison cage, pulled out the girl, and threw her in front of that elite soldier, however, the elite soldier doesn't seem to be wavered by the girl, or rather, he is holding back himself. Jason was a bit anxious when seeing this, there was a contradiction happening in his mind, he wants to prove to the King that he was telling the truth but at the same time he will felt guilty of anything does happen to the girl.

Jason looked at the King with desperate eyes, trying to convince the King that he never lied to him. The King saw him and laughed out a bit.

"Haha! I knew this is not going to work." said the King before giving a hand sign to the servants, one of the servant walked out and came in with a bucket of unknown red liquid with a foul smell and pour it onto the girl.

"Ahhhhhh!!!" the girls screamed while the eyes of that elite soldier turned red.

"That's hog's blood that has been placed in a humid place for hours." said the King, covered his nose, but rather excited.

Then the elite soldiers struggled out from the grip of the royal guards, he pounds directly towards the girl and starts biting and tearing the girl apart alive, and to makes things more disturbing, the King started laughing, it's a burst of happy laughter...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jason slumped on the floor after witnessing such a gory sight.

"That girl was given to me from her emperor as a sign of apology when we signed the peace agreement. She was pushed out as the culprit that framed Rei, instead of the emperor's consort. What I did today is purely based on her emperor's 'kind' intentions, so, don't worry." said the King.

"Peace agreement?" Jason is a bit curious about that. "Yes, you never heard about it, right? We signed that last year, just a few months after I finished off that Duke of Shao. In the agreement, we are not allowed to launch any form of assault to each other's territories, so, what you are trying to do might not be able to be achieve in a short time, are you okay with that." said the King, and Jason nodded with no hesitation. One of the reasons was because of fear, another is that he knows that King is the only person that is eligible for his royalty and he believes that his brethren in Black Lotus will support him as well.
