Chapter 198 - I Am the Culprit!
Chapter 198: I Am the Culprit!
Seeing Phyllis bow so respectfully, the people around quickly bowed to the young man and said, “Please forgive us for our sins, my Lord!”
As expected of Lady Phyllis. The nobles around secretly glanced at the young man. If they could get the young man to have a relationship with them, it would be equivalent to relying on Shen Fa, the tree of Luberg, Lilia, Vivian, and the others. Lady Phyllis actually saluted like this. It seemed that she wanted to grab hold of this thigh just like them!
Ruth looked at these people’s big gifts to Su Han and smiled playfully. She wanted to make this little uncle of hers make a fool of himself in public.
The corner of Su Han’s mouth twitched slightly. He really did not expect that his eldest niece would actually give him such a place to play. He waved his hand and let them get up.
“Eldest niece,” Su Han said expressionlessly, “I will tell your mother about what happened today. You just wait and see.”
Ruth turned her head and said, “Your identity as my godfather’s junior brother will be exposed sooner or later. What does it matter? Let the people of Saint Laurent City respect you, and naturally, no one will dare to find trouble with you.”
Su Han suddenly had an impulse to press her to the ground and beat her butt with the ruler.
Phyllis stood up and said with a playful smile, “Lady Ruth, since you want to buy the Magic Enhancement Potion for this Lord Su Han, I don’t think the nobles will compete with you.”
The nobles around nodded like rattle drums.
Phyllis smiled and picked up the bottle of Magic Enhancement Potion on the auction platform, saying with a mischievous smile, “This bottle of Magic Enhancement Potion will be our Skywind Chamber of Commerce’s welcome gift to Lord Su Han. We won’t charge any fees. Lady Ruth, you see…”
Su Han frowned and said, “What do you mean by not charging any fees! 10,000 gold coins is a low price for the auction. Niece, pay up!”
The surrounding people were stunned. In Saint Laurent City, the only person who dared to speak to Ruth in such a tone was probably her parents and her biological father, and only this little uncle.
Ruth rolled her eyes at him and took out a 10,000 gold coins gold card, throwing it into Phyllis’ hands. She walked to the auction stage, picked up the bottle of Magic Enhancement Potion, and said with a smile, “The goods will be sold at a price. This is 10,000 gold coins. You…”
She frowned slightly and turned her head to look at another auction item on the auction stage, which was covered by a red cloth and only revealed a corner. She felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
She stretched out her hand to lift the red cloth, and immediately narrowed her eyes.
Blackstone Bomb!
The black iron ball placed on the second auction stage was precisely the kind of demonic artifact she had obtained from outside Saint Laurent City. It was precisely this kind of artifact that had destroyed a large number of orc armies. How could the Skywind Chamber of Commerce have such an item?
Ruth slowly turned her head and stared into Phyllis’s eyes. She enunciated each word clearly, “Where did you get this iron ball?”
…
In the living room of the Skywind Chamber of Commerce, Ruth sat on the main seat while Su Han sat on the other side, drinking tea. In front of them was the Blackstone Bomb placed on the auction platform. Phyllis secretly glanced at Su Han, who was drinking tea, and was already burning with anxiety.
After the incident that night, the time for the Blackstone Bomb to be put on the shelves had been delayed again and again. Today, she had originally planned to use the second batch of Magic Enhancement Potions to attract customers and promote the elemental bomb, but she had never expected that… Ruth had actually seen such a bomb before.
Ruth looked at Phyllis expressionlessly and said, “It seems that you don’t intend to tell me the identity of the person who provided you with this kind of goods?”
Phyllis shook her head and said, “Lady, I’ve said everything I need to say. Our Chamber of Commerce will not divulge any information about our clients and channel merchants. This is the most basic requirement of a Chamber of Commerce. Lady Ruth, even if you say that this kind of thing has killed countless lives, you must know that.”
“This is merely a demonic creation. Any demonic scholar can create it. You can’t arrest everyone who has a knife like a murderer just because someone has killed someone with a knife, right?”
Ruth said expressionlessly, “What if I told you that even the three master craftsmen in the guild can’t make a talisman with this kind of bomb? What would you think?”
Phyllis was momentarily at a loss for words. It was clear that Ruth knew a lot of things.
She had heard about the Blackstone Bomb a few years ago. She knew that this Blackstone Bomb had killed a large army of werewolves in the Dark Forest.
The user was Lord Su Han, who was currently sitting on a chair and drinking tea.
She was already a little confused.
Lord Su Han was Ruth’s uncle, the creator of the Blackstone Bomb, and the Executioner who had caused the destruction of the Werewolf Guild and directly confronted Ruth. This relationship was really too messy.
Su Han, who had been drinking tea, looked at Phyllis, who was already somewhat incoherent. He shook his head and said, “Eldest Niece, if the great event of the demonic path that created the Blackstone Bomb is standing in front of you right now, what do you plan to do with him?”
Ruth took a deep look at Su Han and said expressionlessly, “Naturally, I’ll bring him back for interrogation.”
Su Han smiled and said, “He destroyed an army of werewolves. Will you kill him?”
Ruth said expressionlessly, “The time outside the city is already an unsolved case. I must investigate it clearly. Moreover, I suspect that that person has a direct relationship with the destruction of the Werewolf Guild and the Assassin Organization.”
She looked at Su Han’s eyes and slightly narrowed them.
“Little Uncle, I suddenly remembered. You just returned to Saint Laurent City, right? I don’t know. How did you come here?”
Phyllis lowered her head, and her palms were already covered with sweat.
Su Han drank a cup of tea and said, “These few years, the roads in Saint Laurent City and the south have been almost closed. What do you think?”
Ruth suddenly stood up and glanced at Phyllis, then her gaze fell on Su Han’s face. She narrowed her eyes and said, “Could it really be you? Everything that happened a few years ago and the Werewolf Army were all you?”
Su Han smiled and said, “That’s right.”
Phyllis had never expected that Lord Su Han would admit it directly. Her heart was beating wildly. Ruth had already pointed the spearhead of the Executioner toward the creator of the Blackstone Bomb. If Lord Su Han admitted it at this time, wouldn’t that confirm Ruth’s guess?
Could it be that Lord Su Han wanted to… She looked at Ruth and her gaze swept across.
Ruth looked at Su Han with a heavy expression and said, “Little Uncle, in other words, the creator of the Blackstone Bomb and the Werewolf Guild that was annihilated was you?”
Su Han took a sip of tea and said, “That’s why I’m asking you. If he were right in front of you right now, would you kill him?”
In an instant, a strong aura emanated from Ruth’s body.
