Chapter 132: Such a melodramatic scene
Chapter 132 Such a melodramatic scene
Soon, a young male walked in.
He had handsome features and fair skin, and his appearance was more than nine-tenths similar to that of the mermaid prince Lan Yu. The only difference was that he did not have those sapphire-like eyes.
His pupils were as black as ink.
It was tinged with a sinister and wild undercurrent.
"Lan Cang?"
Theo locked his gaze on the young man below, and with just one glance, he could tell that this person was no pushover.
Although the other party was not royalty, they exuded an arrogant confidence, clearly indicating they had something to rely on.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
Lan Cang's posture was anything but humble; he stood in the center of the hall, merely bowing slightly in greeting.
Emperor Hanhai pointed to the screen above, which displayed Phil's image and identity information: "Do you recognize this person? Is he in your residence?"
"do not know."
Lan Cang glanced at it casually, straightened up, and looked at the Emperor of the Vast Ocean with a provocative smile.
Swah——
Theo instantly moved in front of the young man, his voice cold and harsh: "Are you sure?"
Lan Cang felt the pressure of the aura, clenched his fist behind his back, and then relaxed it: "Of course I'm sure there is no such person in my manor. I wonder... where did the executive officer of the Virtual Star Kingdom hear the rumors? Coming to the Imperial Court to question without any evidence is probably not appropriate."
Theo's pupils constricted sharply as he turned to look at the Emperor of the Vast Ocean on the throne, his brows furrowed.
He visited secretly, not with fanfare, yet Lan Cang not only knew he was coming, but also found out his identity, showing that he knew a great deal about the affairs within the Han Hai Imperial Court.
"You want evidence?"
With a wave of his hand, Theo brought up the scenes that had occurred in the virtual Beast Arena, including the words of the host and staff, which were used as testimonies.
The expression on the Emperor of the Vast Ocean's face grew increasingly serious as he stared intently at Lan Cang below.
His expression gradually became serious.
"What does this mean?"
Lan Cang remained calm: "This only proves that this tiger beast once appeared in the virtual world domain of my Han Hai Empire, but what does that have to do with me? Is the Executive Officer putting the blame on me based on the one-sided statements of these people?"
"Or rather..." he continued with a smile, "Since you can manipulate images in the virtual world, have you ever seen me appear there?"
"..."
Theo stared coldly at the other party, because Lan Cang was right. This person rarely appeared in the virtual world, especially in the Beast Trapping Arena, and had never shown up. He knew very well to avoid suspicion.
This way, it won't be easy for them to find fault with you.
only……
Do you really think you can control him like this?
He came to help Nuonuo find someone.
This isn't a place to reason with people.
“Very good.” Theo walked step by step toward Lan Cang: “Perhaps I have misunderstood you, but as the person in charge of Tianhai City, Mr. Lan Cang has an inescapable responsibility for this matter. Why don’t you assist in the search from the sidelines? Every mansion and every inch of sea in the empire, Mr. Lan Cang is not allowed to leave until there are results.”
"!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Cang's expression instantly turned ugly.
"Your Majesty Han Hai has no objections, does he?" Theo turned his head and looked at the figure on the throne above.
"Of course—"
However, before the Emperor of the Vast Ocean could finish speaking, a gentle yet commanding female voice suddenly came from outside the hall, forcefully interrupting him: "I will not allow it!"
Everyone looked towards the direction of the palace entrance.
A beautiful female woman, supported by two maids, slowly walked in.
She wore an elegant pleated dress, and her clear, bright blue eyes were a distinctive mark of the mermaid royalty.
"Mother!" Lan Cang's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a lifeline. He hid all his previous wildness and became a wronged child.
“They’ve framed me, saying I imprisoned General Phil of the Legion, and even His Majesty isn’t on my side.”
Lan Cang lowered his head as he spoke, his words subtly fueling the fire: "Perhaps I am not as noble as my brother, and I am not His Majesty's biological child, so it is normal for him not to like me, but I really did not do it."
"..."
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became very strange.
Theo stared at the young man who was arrogant one second and acting coquettish the next, his expression slightly stunned.
He felt disgusted by this behavior but also somewhat helpless. He never expected that the relationships within the Han Hai royal family would be so chaotic; even as an outsider, he found it unbelievable.
"lady."
The Emperor of the Vast Ocean immediately stepped down, his refined and gentle face showing a hint of helplessness: "Listen to me..."
"do not talk!"
The Queen, protecting her son, looked on with disappointment: "I always thought you were more innocent and understanding than Xiao Ke, but why have you ostracized them at every turn?! Now you're even joining forces with outsiders to deal with them. This trip and these actions are truly outrageous!"
Emperor Han Hai tensed up. The "Xiao Ke" his wife mentioned was Lan Cang's biological father, a concubine whom he had allowed his wife to take.
However, this melodramatic scene was somewhat of a headache for Theo.
He finally understood who Lan Cang's confidence came from, but he never expected that his search for Phil would lead him into this drama of one woman vying for the affections of two husbands.
"Mother."
But at this moment.
Another gentle call rang out.
A young nobleman in white walked in, his azure eyes as clear and bright as obsidian, as if they held a vast ocean within them.
It was Lan Yu.
Upon seeing his twin brother, Lan Cang frowned deeply, and disgust rose in his eyes!
"Yu'er, you've come at the right time. Tell us about your father. He actually framed your brother to outsiders."
Lan Yu was spotless, unlike Lan Cang's gloomy aura. His features exuded righteousness, purity, and cleanliness, without any deception or malice.
“Father, Mother, I’m here to testify that my elder brother is indeed involved in General Phil’s disappearance.”
Upon hearing this, Theodore glanced at him twice.
When he revisited the images in the virtual world, he saw it clearly: the little mermaid prince in front of him had once transformed into a beast and saved Nuonuo.
He still remembers the scene where the little girl's tiny hands tightly gripped the scales on the other person's chest, refusing to let go.
Thinking about this, Theo couldn't help but feel a pang of envy: Do mermaid scales really feel that good?
Although Lan Yu came here to testify with good intentions, Theo felt a strange sense of rejection.
"Yu'er, have you gone mad?"
The Queen protected her eldest son and questioned Lan Yu, "Did your father teach you this? You are already of royal blood, why do you suppress your brother at every turn? He is your own brother, how could he have a younger brother like you? You have disappointed your mother so much!"
"..."
These words were spoken with extreme force.
Lan Yu stared in disbelief.
He took a small half step back, glancing at Lan Cang's smug yet sinister smile beside him. A hurt emotion flashed across his eyes, and he felt extremely heartbroken.
From childhood to adulthood, there have been countless similar scenarios.
"Mother, why do you choose to believe my brother and not me? I'm telling the truth."
Is it because his older brother is better at acting cute than him?
Just like his brother's father, the male shark called "Xiao Ke" was better at pleasing his mother than his own father. Was it because of this?
