Chapter 1977: What Does It Mean to Be Below One Person and Above Tens of Thousands?
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Duke Buckingham.” The Duke of Devonshire’s eyes regained their light for a moment, but then they quickly dimmed.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down before taking the satellite phone from Devonshire Jantman.
“Your Excellency Duke Buckingham, I’m Devonshire.” When he answered Duke Buckingham’s call, his tone was much more polite.
Even the way he addressed him included the words “Your Excellency.”
“I’m sure you know why I called you.” Duke Buckingham’s tone was very rude. “Both Her Majesty and I need a perfect explanation for the crime scene at Stanz Airport and the complete chain of evidence.”
“If you still regard the dignity of the imperial royal family at all, you’d better give up all your fantasies and all the little tricks you’ve prepared. Bring some people to the imperial royal family immediately.”
“Old Anjou and Old Argyll have already set off. I’m preparing to set off as well. Let’s go and have a good chat with Her Majesty the Queen about this matter.”
“Duke Buckingham…” The Duke of Devonshire’s expression became unnatural again, and his voice became particularly difficult to understand.
Duke Buckingham was the nobleman second only to the Queen of the Empire. Regardless of whether it was his reputation or his true strength, he was second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people in the Empire.
This kind old man rarely got angry with others.
However, once he was angered, it would reach the heavens. It would probably be impossible to end it without blood flowing like a river.
Not only did he have a lot of supporters among the people, but his influence was unparalleled in the various confidential departments of the Empire, especially in the military, police, inspectorate, prosecution, and other iron-fisted departments.

The Duke of Buckingham’s words were basically equivalent to the troops of the Empire, the police department, the inspectorate, the prosecution, and other iron-fisted departments saying these words to the Duke of Devonshire.
The Duke of Buckingham would not bypass the royal family and order the iron-fisted departments to take action before the Queen spoke.
However, the Duke of Devonshire believed that as long as the Duke of Buckingham spoke, Her Majesty would definitely approve his proposal.
Even if the Duke of Buckingham did not have sufficient evidence, Her Majesty would trust the Duke almost 100%, not to mention that the Duke of Buckingham still had a lot of dirt on Stanz Airport and much shocking evidence of the Duke of Devonshire’s family committing crimes.
“The traffic in Fog City is very congested. I estimate that we will only be able to see Her Majesty in half an hour.”
“I hope you won’t be too late.”
Duke Buckingham did not say much. He hung up the phone after saying that.
The Duke of Devonshire’s spirit seemed to have been sucked dry in an instant.
An old man who originally looked like a lion instantly became old and senile. His eyes were dull and wooden, and his back was much hunched.
“Your Excellency the Duke.” Devonshire Jantman went to help him up immediately.
“It’s over.” The Duke of Devonshire allowed himself to be supported. His mind was probably in a mess. He looked like he wanted to cry but did not dare to. “The Devonshire family is finished.”
“Duke Buckingham said that he also went to look for Her Majesty the Queen. He told me to give up all my fantasies and stop playing any tricks. It’s best if I quickly go to Her Majesty the Queen and explain everything to them.”
“What?” Devonshire Jantman was so stunned he forgot to support the Duke of Devonshire. Even while the Duke of Devonshire lost his balance and staggered, Devonshire Jantman did not come back to his senses.
“The Duke of Buckingham is also participating in the settlement and encirclement of the Duke of Devonshire’s family?”
The members of the Duke of Devonshire’s family, including the security guards of Stanz Airport, all looked pale. “Doesn’t that mean that the troops, the police department, the inspectorate department, the prosecutorial department, and other powerful institutions of the Empire will try their best to encircle and annihilate us?”
“The Devonshire Family is going to be destroyed?”
“Just because of this Dragon Country man? Duke Anjou, Duke Argyll, and Duke Buckingham are all on the move?”
“Is this Dragon Country man sent by God to make fun of us?”
