Chapter 158 158: Last



As Evan pondered the circumstances surrounding Dante and Sam's relationship, a realization struck him. Based on his knowledge thus far, there appeared to be only one item capable of exerting control over Dante— the Mother Gu. The system's revelation that Sam held the power to determine Dante's fate seemingly confirmed the presence of the Mother Gu within Sam's possession.

Evan couldn't help but smile inwardly. The employment of Gu was strictly forbidden within the confines of the Imperial Frost Clan. Exposing this forbidden practice would lead to the downfall of the Seventh Seat and his associates. However, concrete evidence was crucial before making any moves.

Knowing Sam's narrow-minded nature and his deeply ingrained inferiority complex, Evan surmised that he would conceal the evidence of his crime on his person.

But... where exactly? He couldn't strip the venerable seventh seat naked without a valid reason, now could he?!

"Perhaps it's within his spatial ring?" Evan pondered, considering it a plausible hiding spot.

He employed his Inspect Skill once more, this time focusing on Sam's spatial ring.

Sam's Spatial Ring:

Items:

Mother Gu. Ancient Scroll of Forbidden Knowledge.

Potion of Enhanced Strength. Shadow Cloak.

Soul Restraining Shackles. Essence Absorption Devil Stone. Illusionary Mirror. Phoenix Feather. Void Crystal. Ledgar of Illegal Deals.

Almost instantly, Evan's suspicions were confirmed, as the evidence he sought indeed lay within Sam's very own spatial ring.

Evan immediately came up with a plan to fuck them both and executed it.

"I want Dante!"

Evan boldly expressed his desire to claim Dante as his own, stating it directly to Sam.

"You are being ridiculous. Dante is not a thing!"

However, Sam scolded him, reproaching Evan for referring to Dante as a mere possession.

The onlookers were also taken aback, disturbed by Evan's unusual request. They were unaware of his peculiar interest.

Meanwhile, Dante himself was perplexed, unable to comprehend why Evan would want him. The situation puzzled him greatly.

Evan's grin widened, satisfied with Sam's reaction. He retorted, "Sam, you're being a hypocrite. You insist that Dante is not an object but a person, yet you treat him as nothing more than a weapon. Where was your conscience when you kidnapped children from lesser worlds and forced them to battle each other, all in the pursuit of creating the Gu King? The Gu king that is Dante!"

"He knows!"

Sam was shocked by Evan's knowledge. How did he uncover such secrets? His surprise did not go unnoticed by the council elders, the patriarch, the grand patriarch, and the grand leader.

Sam's eyes darted towards Nicholas, who stared at him with a stern gaze, silently warning him to remain silent.

Evan's words created a stir among the crowd. They couldn't believe what they were hearing.

Keldor interjected, questioning the validity of Evan's claims, asking if there was any truth to his words.

"Hold on a moment! Your Highness Evan, are your claims based on any truth? Can you provide evidence to support your accusations?"

Keldor interjected, questioning the validity of Evan's claims, asking if there was any truth to his words.

"I-"

Before Evan could even complete his sentence, Sam shouted!

"This is preposterous! I categorically deny these allegations! How dare His Highness falsely accuse me! I may have a bad temper, but I have never stooped to such actions! I am an elder of the clan, and I have served the clan wholeheartedly for years. How can His Highness splash dirty water on my character?!"

Evan rolled his eyes. "Sam, your acting sucks." he spat out nonchalantly. "The more you act like this, the more it becomes evident that you are desperate to hide your and your partner's crimes."

"Your Highness, accusing an elder without substantial evidence is a serious matter. I urge you to reconsider your statements and consider letting the matter rest. It could have severe consequences if proven false."

Keldor addressed Evan.

Although Keldor and others with keen perceptions sensed the truth behind Evan's words from Sam's behavior, they were hesitant to expose Sam publicly. The Frost Clan's reputation was at stake.

Evan, however, was not inclined to let the matter rest. He knew that if Sam escaped, he would destroy all evidence, leaving Evan with little chance of unveiling the truth.

"Who said there's no evidence?" Evan proclaimed confidently. "After creating the Gu King, Sam colluded with Nicholas and his group to obtain a Mother Gu and a Child Gu. I don't think I need to explain what they did next. The child Gu is inside Dante while The Mother Gu is in Sam's possession!"

Nicholas retorted, challenging Evan's claims. "Anyone can make baseless accusations. Where is your proof?"

Evan countered, "You want proof? This prince will provide it! Victor, retrieve Sam's spatial ring and reveal its contents to everyone."

"Yes, Master," Victor responded promptly, preparing to carry out Evan's command.

However, as Victor attempted to apprehend Sam, he was blocked by several cultivators who belonged to the same clan as his master. Reluctantly, Victor held himself back, not wanting to cause unnecessary conflict.

"You don't need to hold back," Evan reassured him.

"Really?" Victor questioned, seeking confirmation.

Evan nodded, signaling his approval.

Evan nodded, signaling his approval.

He then turned to Marcus and Prince Charming, instructing them, "Go and support him. Knock down anyone who stands in your way. Show them no mercy. They are aiding evil and deserve to be taught a lesson!"

With Evan's command, Victor unleashed his full strength. Marcus and Prince Charming joined the fray, swiftly engaging in combat. Within seconds, they managed to defeat the henchmen of Nicholas and Sam, clearing the path for Victor to proceed.

During the battle, not a single powerhouse of the clan moved. It seemed lile they were in a tactic agreement with other. They wanted to know where the show would go. If it ended in Evan's favor, then he would really be worthy of being their Crown Power. But if it didn't even if Evan won the inheritance war, they wouldn't like him as a person. They would tolerate his existence but not befriend him.

Quickly, Sam was apprehended.

After his spatial ring was investigated, it was revealed that he really possessesed the Mother Gu.

On top of that, documents containing all the crimes that had been committed and a ledger containing the names of his partner in crime were also revealed.

They had committed unbelievably henious crimes. So they were punished with execution. Their crimes were to he made known to the entire empire and they were to be executed in public.

Nicholas was also implicated.

This time, Eldrid did nothing to help him. He watched as his brother was killed.

The documents proved that the members of the other imperial families were also involved in these crimes. They were punished in the same way, beheaded at dusk under the watchful eyes of the imperial master.

That's how Evan cleared the entire Imperial Capital of its filth, becoming a respected soul cultivator throughout the empire, the True Crown Prince of the Imperial Frost Clan, its future Patriach, and the successor of the Imperial Lord of Frost.
