Chapter 398: Joe Shadow’s Operation, Joe Shadow’s Menace

Chapter 398

Qiao Ying's voice rang out loudly: “I now have reason to suspect this is not a private grievance, but a conspiracy planned by you as father and daughter, and by your entire royal family collectively.”

“You,” she looked at the king, “were responsible for luring Lin Cheng away. Lin Cheng can testify. Then someone was sent to capture me, with passersby and street surveillance footage as evidence. Then Karina would carry out the execution. The gun Karina wanted to kill me with is still in my hand, which is physical evidence. I almost forgot, on the way here just now, I already saved the surveillance footage from that villa to my computer.”

“In five minutes, I can make every citizen in C Country see the video of C Country's princess holding a gun to my head and forcing me to leave my fiancé. If I hadn't escaped, were you planning to use me to threaten Lin Cheng or just kill me outright and forcibly put Lin Cheng on the throne?”

“I think now I not only need a lawyer, I also need to seek help from the embassy and my country.”

The whole room was in an uproar. Qiao Ying's maneuvering was completely unexpected.

With just a few short sentences, Qiao Ying had turned half the royal family into accomplices, and the king's crimes were all clearly stated.

The king's face turned black.

Members of the royal family angrily shouted in unison: “Nonsense!”

Qiao Ying suddenly thought of something fun to share with them: “Aren’t you choosing a successor? This is a great way to test - escalate the matter internationally and see which capable candidate can resolve it.”

“Don’t worry, in order to better select the most capable one, I will do my utmost. I'm acquainted with quite a few government departments and military units in Hua Country. I'll give them a heads up and help C Country's successor selection process in my own way.”

Qiao Ying was bluffing about not having connections, but Qin HanYue did.

If Qin HanYue was determined to help Lin Cheng and Qiao Ying, with just a bit of maneuvering behind the scenes, Qiao Ying's safety alone could easily escalate into a dispute between the two countries.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the grand conference hall became heavy and tense.

Karina's brother looked at Qin HanYue, anger in his heart but not daring to openly oppose Qin HanYue.

Seeing Lin Cheng not saying a word, seemingly detached like an outsider, entirely acquiescing to Qiao Ying’s actions, the king's eyes turned cold.

Then he let out a cold laugh and looked at Qiao Ying, calm and unruffled. “One person threatens an entire country, I’m impressed you could think of that.”

The king's expression was cold, speaking slowly: “Do you think I'd give you a chance to do any of that?”

His eyes showed killing intent, not avoiding anyone.

At this moment, in bustling plazas, large shopping malls, below towering landmark buildings, more and more people were congregating and taking out their phones to record as they stared at those large screens.

Right now, half the country’s citizens were enjoying watching their beautiful, elegant Princess Karina abuse her power, falsely accuse someone, be arrogant and rude.

The king stared at the computer screen. Hearing the video had already been playing for ten minutes, the king frowned deeply, “Forget handling it, cut off internet access everywhere! Shut it down immediately! Find those media outlets and don’t let them report on it.

Spreading such disgraceful royal gossip, how could the royal family keep face?

“But cutting off internet across such a large area...”

The king gritted his teeth and glared at the assistant, “Cut it off!”

“Yes sir.” The assistant immediately went to carry it out.

The king's fierce gaze swept to Qiao Ying, his face no longer calm, “Just what are you trying to do?”

Everyone followed his gaze to look at Qiao Ying, a bad premonition in their hearts.

Qiao Ying's eyes were innocent yet cold, “Like you said, one person threatens an entire country - that was just a little appetizer. The next video will be even better, unless you make the whole country do permanent blackouts, otherwise these videos and your military's classified intel will travel down the internet lines, penetrating everywhere.”

Her tone changed, light and carefree. She let out an “ah” sound playfully and smiled, “I can donate some candles to your country, environmentally friendly and low carbon~”

The king's fat face twisted in anger, the flesh shaking in chunks. He had no choice but to start believing Qiao Ying's words might not be completely fabricated.

She might really be capable of what she claimed.

Even if exaggerated, she still had the ability to give them headaches. He had a headache right now.

At this moment, networks were cut across most of the western region. With no internet access, it was a hassle in this information age.

“Just what is going on?” Seeing the king’s expression, the royal family members asked in a clamor.

The king calmed himself, “Go ahead, what do you want.”

Qiao Ying: “Can we have a proper conversation now?”
