《Armipotent 》Chapter 486: Storm Is Brewing
Advertisement
Crown Prince Chandler cast a suspicious look at the head of the Malone Family. He was sure that Derekh Malone was hiding something from him. However, he did not know what it was. But an investigation was needed to find the truth. Furthermore, he had received consent from the head of the Malone Family.
'Even though it's risky, might as well use the Crown Prince's network to find Ashley.' Derekh Malone took the gamble since he could not hide it from the Crown Prince, 'On top of that, I have killed all the maids who see that man's face. It should be safe even if the Crown Prince interrogated all the knights and the maids.
The knight would follow Duran's order, no matter what method the Crown Prince used on them, it was not going to work. As for the other maids, they only saw Tang Shaoyang in his transformation, he just needed to match the description to the Crown Prince. No one would know that it was a guest from another world.
'Yes, this should be fine,' Derekh Malone convinced himself.
"Commander Garen! Gather all the maids and the knights, I will interrogate them by myself!" Crown Prince Chandler stood up and gave his command to the old man with white hair.
"Yes!" Commander Garen bowed his head toward Commander Garen and left the room by himself at a quick pace.
Crown Prince Chandler also followed his escort's steps as a younger knight approached him. The knight was older than Crown Prince Chandler, but he was still older than the Crown Prince. Arvin was his name, he had become the Crown Prince's partner since he was a little, a friend and also an escort, a prodigy that graduated from the Eternal Flame Academy.
"That Derekh is suspicious, Prince Chandler. We should interrogate him instead of his knights or even his maids. It would be just a waste of time. We would not get what we want but what that sly man wanted us to know instead." Arvin talked in a small voice toward the Crown Prince.

He said that before they left the room. Even though Arvin controlled his voice, Derekh Malone could hear them with his sharp hearing.
Crown Prince Chandler rolled his eyes at his friend, "That man is an Earl. Without my Father's consent, we can't do anything about him," the Prince said as if he also wanted to interrogate Derekh Malone.
Derekh's eyes twitched when he heard the two's conversation. They did not put any respect on him even though he was the Crown Prince's future father-in-law. The Crown Prince's attitude changed hundred-eighty degrees after he heard his fiancee was kidnapped under his nose.

Bang!
Duran Ambrose smashed the table in front of him. The poor wooden table broke into pieces as veins popped around on the side of his head. He was furious when he found out that the knights that returned from the Dimensional Gate went missing after Tang Shaoyang escaped with his daughter.
It was as if everything was pre-planned, "Don't tell me that bitch betrayed me?" Duran said while gritting his teeth. The fury was rising to his head.
"What about those knight's families? Get them to me! If their families are in our hands, we can lure them back to us! I will tell them once they return that they should not anger me, Duran Ambrose!" He ordered the two knights who reported to him that ninety-seven knights went missing.

Meanwhile, in another room. Prince Kaiden was sitting next to a window, looking at the mess outside. His head rested on his chin while he was in deep thought. He was confused at what happened here, "Why did he kidnap that bitch Ashley? Did he fancy Ashley?" the young prince muttered in a low voice.
He managed to return to his home even though he had to make a strict oath. However, he did not know what Tang Shaoyang planned when they decided to come to Lukan. The young Prince was clueless, "Did Earl Malone find out that the otherworlder was sneaking into their territory?"

While the young Prince was in deep thought, he felt a chill on his back. He was startled by the killing intent that directed toward him. He stood from the chair and turned around. When he was about to shout, he heard a bone-chilling voice enter his ears, and the voice was familiar, "Don't yell or you will lose one of your hands and your tongue!"
Prince Kaiden immediately shut his mouth as he saw a familiar figure in the room. It was a Demon Swordsman with a straw hat. The demon who cut all the knights' limbs. Yes, Zaneos was sneaking into this room.
"Rosalie was right, you and your brother will really return," Prince Kaiden heard the demon mumbling in a low voice. The young Prince said nothing in return as he gulped mouthful saliva. His body shook slightly as he was nervous about the demon's presence in his room.
"I have words from my Master. Earl Derekh is part of the Revolution Army and Duran Ambrose of the Ambrose Family is in Malone Residence. You can investigate them if you don't believe in my Master! Also, Ashley is safe with my master!" After saying that, Prince Kaiden saw that Zaneos's figure blurred and disappeared from his room,
Prince Kaiden's eyes widened in shock. He could not believe what he heard, he was about to call Zaneos, wanting to know how his Master could know about this. The Revolution Army and the Ambrose Family had become a big rumor in the capital. However, it was merely a rumor as the Royal Family could not find any lead to the traitors.
"But how? How does he know about this?" Prince Kaiden was confused. Tang Shaoyang was not a native of this world, so how could he know about the Revolution Army and also the Ambrose Family?
"No, I can't trust them, they must be scheming something…" Prince Kaiden muttered in a low voice, "However, there's no harm in being careful. I have to tell this to my Brother!"
Prince Kaiden then left the room and rushed toward his brother's place. He had to inform his brother or even his father quickly about this. This was related to the kingdom's security. The Royal Family would not allow a force to challenge their sovereignty. This was even more important than finding Ashley.
