14. Motivation
Originally, Zhao Yuan thought that the court of the wolf clan should be very troublesome, but he didn't expect Monroe to directly take Zhao Yuan and Mu Si all the way to the wolf king's study without hindrance.
The wolf king is a man who looks three points similar to Monroe, probably because the higher the level of the martial artist, the slower the aging rate, the wolf king looks only forty or fifty years old, and although there are traces of vicissitudes on his face, the skin is still tight, and the muscles on his body are also streamlined and bulging, which looks full of explosive power.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you, my son. The wolf king's vocal cords seemed to have been damaged by something, with a feeling of tearing. But the deep tone is still intimidating.
"Long time no see, my esteemed father. Monroe replied as he bowed, and Zhao Yuan and Mu Si also drew gourds.
"I heard that you came back this time to meet the beast god, but I don't know why?" asked the wolf king. After all, with Monroe's strength, most of the people who provoked him, he could kill them with a blade or hire someone. And the beast god is too lazy to care about general disputes.
"Five days ago, we were still in Red Snake Town, and at that time, Mu Si was breaking through, but our family came, four fifth-order killers. Luckily, my dear friend, Zhao Yuan, was there, and he paid a great deal to eliminate the four killers, and then under my questioning, they said Cecil's name. In the days that followed, I also sent many of my men to investigate Cecil's movements, and found out that he had hired men to kill me. So today I am returning to the main city to seek justice for my family of three and my best friends, hoping to expel Cecil from the wolf royal family in the presence of my father and the beast god. Monroe said unhurriedly but unusually firmly.
The wolf king listened to his words, and the expression on his face did not move at all, if it weren't for the flash of anger in his sharp eyes, Zhao Yuan really didn't react to him.
"I can't just take your word for it, Monroe, are you willing to confront Cecil in the presence of me and the beast god?" said the wolf king in a deep voice.
"I do. Monroe replied without hesitation. He already has ironclad evidence in his hands, and he will not be soft-hearted about Cecil's young brother.
The Ninth Prince had never received the title of Prince and had been living in the main city of the Wolf Clan, in fact, when he learned from his eyeliner that he had already come to Bloodtooth City, he felt very panicked. His subordinates comforted him, "Your Highness, the wolf clan has always been a united race, and Monroe will definitely not do anything fratricidal." Moreover, if he proposes a duel to you as a fifth-order martial artist, he will be laughed at by the world. At this time, they just thought that Monroe would at most propose a duel with him, and just humiliate him. Unexpectedly, Monroe was ready to ask the beast god to expel him from the wolf clan.
"But I have already done fratricidal things, if Monroe says it during the duel, my name will be ruined, and the wolf clan will look down on me, and I will not be able to ascend to the throne of the wolf king in the future. Cecil said hatefully.
He has been good at dancing all these years, and this advantage is also inherited from his mother, on the surface he is warm and generous to everyone, but his heart is actually full of resentment and jealousy. Those gossips have always filled his ears, although his brothers and friends have never said this, and even help him punish those who spread rumors, but in Cecil's heart, they are just selling fame, and their hearts are still laughing at his origins and his talents.
Since he was a child, he fantasized that one day he would be able to trample everyone under his feet and make those who laughed at him regret it, especially Monroe. Monroe's brother is better than him in every aspect. In terms of talent, he is the most talented of the nine princes, and he can be said to be a once-in-a-century genius of the wolf clan. And his wife is also famous and talented. In the future, their children are also very talented. Not only that, but Monroe also achieved so much in business, which is Cecil's only shining point to be proud of! It's a pity that Monroe's brilliance is so overshadowed.
In fact, when Cecil was a child, he admired Monroe's brother very much, but as he grew up and became more and more eager for the throne, he became more and more jealous of Monroe. Although Monroe has already stated that he has no intention of inheriting the throne, the other wolf princes respect Monroe from the bottom of their hearts, and the wolf king also attaches great importance to Monroe's opinion, as long as he wants to, everyone will happily put him on the throne.
Originally, all these jealousies were suppressed in Cecil's heart, but when he was the happiest when he broke through the third order, he found that because he was too eager for quick success and quick profit in his cultivation, the realm was in danger of slipping. And at this moment, he heard that there was a moon condensation grass auction at the latest auction, which was simply timely rain. Cecil immediately took all his belongings to the auction, but the moon condensation grass was easily auctioned away by Monroe, and it was used to suppress the realm of his pregnant wife and prevent a breakthrough.
What an irony this is for Cecil! he racked his brains to break through, and would rather spend all his wealth to take pictures of the moon condensation grass to stabilize his level. But Monroe casually snatched the moon condensation grass and used it to suppress the rank of his wife.
From that point on, Cecil began to harbor murderous intent towards the Monroe family, and this murderous intent reached its peak when he had to rely on the Terran elixir to force a breakthrough again. At the banquet, he forced his face to be happy, but in fact, his internal organs had long been in pain due to the forced escalation twice in a period of time. The more this happened, the more he hated Monroe.
If you kill Monroe, his wealth will be his own, no one will fight with him, and those who want to fight with him are not qualified, he is Monroe's younger brother, born in the wolf royal family, and also has a business foundation, who is more qualified to inherit Monroe's inheritance than him?
If he can have Monroe's huge wealth, he can also marry a talented wife, and their children will have good qualifications in the future, and he can use a lot of money to build his strength. What about shame, have those who mock him have considered his efforts, and what is there to be proud of to laugh at those who are not gifted with good talent by virtue of their natural good gifts?
Driven by such a mentality, he did not hesitate to hire four fifth-order killers to assassinate the Monroe family. Because he knew that Mu Si must be taking the opportunity to break through, if she finished breaking through, there were so many guards and life-saving equipment around her, it would be even more difficult to kill them.
As for the human race that was said to be a demonic and martial dual cultivator, Cecil didn't pay attention to it at all. The Terrans are cowardly and cunning fellows, and when they are in danger, they run the fastest, even if the killer organization asks him for more money, he still gives it ruthlessly, just for a better future.
But he didn't expect that this assassination would actually fail, and the strength of that human race far exceeded everyone's estimates. And now, Monroe actually came to the door!
"Your Highness the Nine, the Wolf King has summoned you to the palace. Suddenly, the voice of the Wolf King's guards came from outside the door.
"Summoning me to the palace, is there something going on?" Cecil still had a familiar gentle smile on his face, but in the eyes of the guards who knew the whole story, it was extremely hypocritical. The wolf clan has always looked down on those who betray, even if it is royalty, it only adds to the greater shame.
"The villain doesn't know, please let His Highness Nine go with me. The guard bowed his head, reluctant to say anything more to Cecil.
The standard smile on Cecil's face froze, and he cursed in his heart, but he still didn't show a trace of dissatisfaction, and followed the guard after a little preparation.
The more he walked, the more Cecil felt that something was wrong: "This is not the way to his father's study, is it?" Although it was a question sentence, Cecil said it very firmly.
"Of course, Your Highness, this is the way to the Temple of the Beast God. The guard sneered in his heart and replied.
"Temple of the Beast God?" Cecil didn't react for a moment, in his heart, Monroe would never do anything to expel his brother. Because Monroe is a very traditional wolf clan, he has always followed the spirit of unity of the wolf clan.
The guard did not answer Cecil's words, but silently led Cecil on. The footsteps of the two echoed in the huge palace, which made Cecil feel a little chilled inexplicably.
Soon, the two of them came to the Beast God Temple. Cecil was surprised to find that there were no other wolf nobles in the Beast God Temple, only the wolf king, Monroe, Moos, and a human race stood alone. Behind them stood a tall statue of the beast god.
"Father, what is the matter with calling me today?" asked Cecil cautiously.
"Monroe came back this time so that the beast god could expel you because you had betrayed your brother. Now in front of me and the Beast God, you can confront Monroe face to face. The wolf king said without a trace of emotion. Although this youngest son is very likable, the wolf clan hates cannibalism the most, so he has no partiality at this time.
"This ......" Cecil looked at Monroe in disbelief, the reason why he has always had no fear is because Monroe is a very traditional wolf clan, but this time he has already killed the Monroe family, and Zhao Yuan happened to suffer an unwarranted disaster for the Monroe family, how could Monroe still let him go?
"Brother, you have to believe me, I grew up with you since I was a child, and I have also done business abroad, how could I want to kill you?" Cecil also knew at this time that Monroe was so sure that he must have found some conclusive evidence. The only way to save himself is to make Monroe remember the friendship he once had and let him go this time.
But if it weren't for Zhao Yuan this time, the three members of Monroe's family would have been dead long ago, where would they care about their previous friendship?
"Cecil, I directly paid off the people of the Killer Alliance. They give you the Shadow Stone you traded with them. With that, Monroe took out a black stone directly from the storage ring.
When Cecil saw it, his face turned like ashes. "Those damn things in the Killer Alliance, how can they do this!" Cecil never expected that it was the people on the Killer Alliance's side who had the problem, after all, for an organization like the Killer Alliance, protecting the privacy of employers is the most basic ethics.
