Chapter 59 59: A Pity Indeed...

Xu Shan could only rub the back of his neck, revealing a frustrated expression.

If the King hadn't died instantly, he could've at least tried to save the life of that idiot, but it was impossible now.

The Princess's eyes were filled with tears. Even though she was only looking to be stronger all her life, but she still loved her father the most in her life! Just last night, they were talking about increasing the influence of their Kingdom, and now he was dead?!

She still couldn't believe it! They weren't the ones who wanted to kill the Prince. However, Xu Shan still killed her father! At least that's what it looked like to her!

Her eyes were filled with hatred and killing intent as she cried on her father's chest. Unfortunately, she also knew that she couldn't do anything to the Third Prince for now.

However, this hatred of killing her father... She had noted it down. Even though she wasn't strong, she still made an oath to herself that she was going to kill the Third Prince, no matter how long it took! She wanted to give him the most painful death possible!

Xu Shan on the other hand, watched her cry. Internally, he was cursing the King for being stupid. However, at the same time, he was also thinking about something.

Even though he hadn't killed the King, for many people, it was because of him that the King died. He was already sure that he had cast a deep seed of hatred in the hearts of many people already.

"How many people know what happened here last night?" he asked Ye Han, thinking of something.

"Everyone who knows is already here. All the servants and everyone else was killed last night, and everyone else hasn't moved from this place since they woke up," Ye Han responded, slightly curious why Xu Shan was asking this question.

"What a pity..." Xu Shan muttered, shaking his head lightly. He only wanted some benefits in this place, but things had gone completely contrary to his expectations.

He wanted to ensure that there was no potential threat lurking behind his back. He already knew what happened when a person was underestimated, since that was what led those Mighty Shadow Guards to their death. He didn't want to make the same mistake.

"Pity?" Ye Han inquired, intrigued. Was Xu Shan really thinking that it was a pity that the King was dead?! But with his carefree personality, it didn't make sense.

"Yeah, a pity that three assassins snuck inside last night, and killed all the Nobles here. A pity indeed..." He spoke vaguely before going back inside his room, closing the door.

Ye Han's eyes revealed a look of realization. Even though the King killed himself, it could give birth to some unnecessary hatred toward the Eternal Dynasty in the Kingdom. So the only solution was to take care of the problems at their root.

Since no one outside knew what happened here, then even if everyone here was killed, no one was going to know. If anything, they could blame the assassins. They had no reason to kill the Nobles after all.

Despite being young, Xu Shan wasn't arrogant, meticulously taking care of all loose hands.

The Princess also realized the meaning behind Xu Shan's statement. She couldn't help but raise her head, revealing a look of fear.

She was actually thinking about biding her time, waiting for an opportunity to kill Xu Shan in the future. However,she didn't think the man was so ruthless!

"You-" she exclaimed, but before she could even finish her sentence, a sword flashed before her eyes. Her eyes dimmed as she dropped to the ground, not believing that she was actually dying here.

Standing inside his room, Xu Shan heard screams coming from outside. However, his eyes didn't show even the slightest of remorse.

In this world, even a weak mortal had an opportunity to become a god. Moreover he already had enough enemies already. No matter how unlikely, he didn't want to take the risk of leaving behind a slow poison that could kill him.

"A pity indeed..." He stood before the window, looking at the sun rising in the distance. He really didn't think that he would have to do something like this.

However, for some strange reason, his heart was at peace. He didn't feel bad in the slightest. If anything, he was even more calm than he was in the past when he first killed a person.

The noises coming from outside soon stopped as everything returned to peace.

There was a knock on Xu Shan's room. After Xu Shan gave permission to enter, the door opened and Ye Han stepped inside.

"I've dealt with everyone," Ye Han answered. Even though he had killed so many people, his clothes were still spotless clean. There was not a single trace of his aura.

Even though Xu Shan also hid his aura, but he used a treasure from the Eternal Dynasty. Unlike him, Ye Han was truly capable, not needing any treasure to hide his aura.

"No one is left in the Palace?" Xu Shan asked in response. "It would be a headache if some rat escaped and spread this information."

"I've searched the entire Palace already," Ye Han answered. Even he knew that it was better to take care of problems at their roots.

Even if Xu Shan hadn't asked him to do it, he was already about to suggest that he kill everyone here ever since the King died. However, to his pleasant surprise, Xu Shan spoke the same, which intrigued him even more.

He was sure that Xu Shan had leadership qualities. A leader had to be ruthless when needed after all.

"Good. Unfortunately this mess delayed us a little." Xu Shan couldn't help but sigh. "Reveal the information about the assassins killing everyone in the Palace."

Xu Shan planned to leave early in the morning. However, he couldn't leave this Kingdom in such a mess. He had to personally take care of this mess that he indirectly created.
