At this crucial moment of officially electing the next king, if Simmons is associated with the devil, the impact will be enormous!

So after Anno finished speaking, Simmons immediately distanced himself from Gilbert, who was standing next to him.

"Gilbert, is it really as Anno said?"

Seeing Simmons's actions, Gilbert's face turned ashen.

Simmons can't protect him in this situation.

Even if he doesn't admit it now, Anno has a lot of evidence in his hands.

I just begged Simmons for mercy, only to find that Simmons looked furious when he saw Anno, so I tried anything as a last resort.

"Your Highness Simmons, I...I was also kept in the dark. I didn't know that the devil was disguised as my butler. I..."

Gilbert explained for a long time, but still couldn't get to the bottom of it.

However, everyone already understood that what Anno had just said was true.

When Simmons saw that everyone was looking at him, he quickly took two steps back and kept a distance from Gilbert.

"Gilbert, I never imagined that someone of your rank would do such a thing. I will, in my capacity as royalty, strip you of your title!"

"Guards, lock Gilbert in a cell!"

"No need, let me handle this!" Tester blocked Simmons's men and then had his own high-ranking professionals take Gilbert away.

Knowing his crimes were unforgivable, Gilbert gritted his teeth and shouted at Simmons before being dragged away, "Your Highness, there's an underground city in Sunset City, located at... Ah~, no! No! No~!"

Gilbert had previously signed a pact in the dungeon that prevented him from telling anyone about it.

Now Gilbert has broken the contract, and his body is instantly covered in cracks before he turns to dust in everyone's astonished gaze!

"Is this... the power of a contract?"

Those present were all well-informed and immediately guessed the cause of Gilbert's death.

Gilbert's willingness to break the contract to reveal the existence of the underground city was not because he was loyal to Simmons.

Instead, knowing full well that he was going to die, he wanted to pit Anno against Simmons.

This is a classic case of "If I die, you won't have an easy time either."

As Gilbert had predicted, everyone's attention turned to Anno once again.

Anno was silent for a moment, then said to Tester, "Your Highness, the situation in the East is somewhat unusual because of Gilbert."

According to the intelligence I have, the sea creatures of the Storm Sea have infiltrated Sunset City in search of a seal.

This seal contains the Deep Sea Demoness!

Everyone knows what happened in the Dwarf Kingdom.

I think the sealed Deep Sea Demoness might be on the same level as the Dragon Scorpion God!

The sea creatures are now desperately trying to find the location of the seal and release the Deep Sea Demoness!

"What?"

Upon hearing Anno's words, not only did Tester's face turn serious, but even Simmons was stunned.

Previously, people were discussing whether there might be seals existing within the kingdom.

Unexpectedly, Anno brought back news that a seal existed in the Eastern Territory.

If this is confirmed, it means that there is a highly unstable and extremely powerful bomb buried in the Eastern Territory.

Tester asked somewhat nervously, "Have the sea creatures been found?"

"There shouldn't be any for now. I've already dealt with the high-ranking sea creatures they sent to Sunset City."

"You solved it?"

Simmons scoffed, "All the credit for your words? You've been in the royal city the whole time; how could you possibly kill a high-level sea creature thousands of kilometers away?"

Anno looked at Simmons with a smile and explained, "The one who stayed in the royal city is like my clone."

I recently visited my own territory, Klang Valley.

I also discovered Gilbert's affair during this period.

"A clone?"

Simmons didn't notice the remark, but the high-level professionals behind him exchanged glances.

They had also been in contact with Anno's clones in the past few days and had not noticed anything unusual.

If it's a clone, then that makes sense.

So here's the question: if Anno's clones are so realistic, how many clones does he have?

Is this the real body or a clone?

If we don't gather this information properly, we'll suffer a great loss if the two sides go to war over the matter of the King's selection.

The high-level professionals behind Simmons were all thinking the same thing: It seems we haven't gathered enough information about him!

"Baron Anno, what's this dungeon Gilbert mentioned?"

When Gilbert was mentioned, Simmons thought of the underground city that Gilbert had just mentioned.

"What dungeon?"

Anno looked puzzled and said, "I don't know! Your Highness, how can we believe the words of someone who made a deal with the devil?"

"You..." Simmons pointed at Anno with his finger, pursing his lips and not saying a word for a long time.

"Great, very good!"

Simmons glared at Tester and roared, "You just wait, you just wait!"

When I become king, I will make you both wish you were dead.

Furious, Simmons turned and left with his men.

"Simmons has changed quite a bit recently."

Tester watched Simmons' departing figure, frowning as he said, "While the Simmons of the past would also fight me for the throne, I always felt that his eyes now seemed to belong to a completely different person, very unfamiliar."

"Perhaps it is his desire for the throne that has made him the way he is now."

Troy sighed beside him, "Your Highness, when you did something wrong as a child, Simmons would take the blame for you and then get punished by the king. Now the king is seriously ill... alas!"

Upon hearing this, Anno quickly asked, "Your Highness, what exactly happened that day? Why did His Majesty the King suddenly faint?"

Tester shook his head and said, "It was just a normal conversation. Lord Lemons was by my father's side when the accident happened. We searched the area for a long time, but found no clues. Everything happened without warning."

Anno frowned and said, "May I see His Majesty the King?"

Tester thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Come with me."

When the door was opened, Leimens was still standing guard by the king's bedside.

Leimens paid no attention to what had just happened outside.

With tear stains still on her face, Selena turned around and saw Anno, a glimmer of hope suddenly flashing in her eyes.

She stood up, ran to Anuo's arms, looked up at him, and said in a tearful voice, "Anuo, Father has been unconscious for two days. Please think of something, please think of something!"

Tester, standing nearby, shook his head helplessly and said, "Selena, even Lord Troy can't do anything about it. Aren't you making things difficult for Anno?"

If even an eighth-tier priest is helpless, how can Anno possibly solve the problem?

Anno looked at the king on the bed from a distance.

He came in simply to use the [Observer] to assess the king's condition and see how long the latter could hold out.

However, unexpectedly, the Observer noticed the King's unusual state.

Anno pushed Selena away from his arms, took a deep breath, and asked the others in the room, "Do you know what the Void is? The King seems to be being corrupted by the Void!"
