Chapter 75: Chapter75-The Punishment of Owen


    ?


    "Hahaha!"


    Seeing Leslie actively betray him, Mac couldn''t help but burst into laughter. He then looked at Owen with pity.


    "The mighty Domination Leaderboard prodigy, the pioneer of Academy City, how ridiculous! To be sold out by your own fiance?e, such a clown, truly the biggest joke!"


    As his voice fell, everyone couldn''t help but direct their gazes toward Owen.


    Leslie was known to be a playboy, doing things entirely based on his whims. They had heard


    of this before, but they didn''t expect him to backstab Owen at such a critical moment.


    King Aldric now just wanted to quickly quell Kyrik''s anger, so he coldly said:


    "Owen, given the circumstances, do you have anything to say?"


    Owen looked at King Aldric, his eyes growing colder. "What is there for me to say?"


    From King Aldric''s behavior from beginning to end, it was clear he intended to keep the peace. Regardless of whether Owen was guilty or not, as long as Kyrik wanted him punished, Aldric would hand him over without hesitation.


    To such a person, Owen had nothing to say.


    Owen didn''t argue, indirectly admitting to the matter. This shocked everyone present once again.


    Regardless, Owen''s talent was extraordinary. If he could reasonably prove his innocence, they would still be willing to speak for him and form a good relationship.


    Especially for Marry, Owen''s words made her feel as if the sky was falling.


    When she first heard the news, she thought it was impossible, that it must be a


    misunderstanding. Owen had no motive to harm Prince Billy.


    But Owen didn''t defend himself, indirectly admitting to it.


    Her heart surged with emotions, her body trembled, and she fainted.


    Owen, however, remained calm throughout. Leslie''s statement suggested she was guiding the situation, likely planning something significant.


    This enigmatic woman couldn''t possibly just sell him out like that!


    All Owen needed to do was cooperate with her and finish the act.


    At this moment, King Aldric snorted coldly, glanced at Owen, and announced:


    "Owen is brutal and immoral, assassinating Prince Billy, leading to conflicts between the two nations, causing suffering and displacement among the people. From today, the engagement between Owen and Leslie is annulled!"


    King Aldric was very satisfied with Leslie''s performance today.


    Owen''s current reputation was significant. If he didn''t admit to killing Prince Billy, even as


    the emperor, it would be difficult to make a direct decision against Owen.


    Fortunately, with Leslie speaking out, he could quickly deal with Owen.


    Then, King Aldric turned to the Penal Minister of Kyrik Kingdom and said:


    These words were undoubtedly harsh.


    Although the truth was clear, bringing it to light was a direct slap in the face to the emperor


    and Azure Kingdom.


    Was she implying they feared Kyrik?


    Going so far as to sacrifice a domestic talent and pay compensation?


    Setting aside whether Owen committed the act, even if he did, the two countries were already on bad terms. Eliminating Kyrik''s crown prince should have been a point of pride!


    So, King Aldric''s mouth twitched slightly. He thought Leslie was just naive and nodded stiffly,


    "Yes,"


    Seeing this, Leslie frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Your Majesty, I don''t understand. What difference does it make if a useless person dies? How can it compare to someone like


    Owen?"


    Upon hearing this, the people who already had issues with Leslie''s words were instantly in an


    uproar!


    It seemed that Leslie wasn''t ignorant. On the contrary, she understood everything!


    The sarcasm in her words was exceptionally piercing!


    What did Leslie mean by this?!


    "Leslie, watch your tone. You previously said that the Duke''s mansion should take


    responsibility for this matter!" An elder from the Council of Elders couldn''t help but speak up, coldly reprimanding her.


    Leslie glanced at the dark and thin elder with disdain and rolled her eyes, "I only said that the Duke''s mansion should take responsibility. I never said that Prince Billy was killed by Owen."


    "Prince Billy wasn''t killed by Owen?!"


    Upon hearing this, everyone became even more perplexed by Leslie, the playgirl, and couldn''t help but whisper among themselves.


    King Aldric, Kyrik''s Penal Minister, and the elders of the Council of Elders all felt a sinking


    feeling.


    For them, it was acceptable that Owen was the culprit. Owen indeed had the strength, and


    there was evidence pointing to him.


    But now, Leslie was adamantly stating that Owen was not the killer!


    "Leslie, do you know who the real killer is?!"


    King Aldric asked sternly, "This is no trifling matter. If you can reveal the real killer, I can


    guarantee your safety!"


    "Really?" Leslie looked King Aldric up and down.
