「North of the River. An undisclosed location.」
The entire hall was deathly silent. Everyone stared at Li Mingcheng's corpse, their faces incredibly grim.
Li Mingcheng's body had been sent here overnight, delivered right to his brother-in-law. Zhao Xiongwu's official explanation was that Li Mingcheng had disrespected a superior—even threatened his life—and was subsequently struck down on the spot as a lawful punishment.
To make matters worse, there were numerous witnesses who could testify to this. Thus, Li Mingcheng's death was ruled as his own fault, and further investigation was forbidden.
And the order forbidding investigation came from the Dragon Lord.
At this moment, a formidable-looking man stared at the body on the floor, a strange, cold sneer appearing on his face.
"Heh, heh heh…"
This sinister smile made everyone present afraid to even breathe.
The fear in the room was palpable, a dread akin to serving a king who was as unpredictable and dangerous as a tiger.
