Chapter 120 First Encounter with Huang Mu

"Clear the area!"

Luo Ji spoke calmly, and the women immediately dragged the guard with the twisted neck and the unconscious Fu Chuan into the luxurious room.

Guests and waiters had already come up to check on the situation, but everything had been restored to normal.

This luxurious room is a grand suite located on the top floor of the hotel.

Generally speaking, no one would come to watch the spectacle.

Luo Ji threw the four guards into the prison scroll.

Luo Ji quickly drew Fu Chuan and sent him out to dismiss the waiters who came up to check on the situation.

Meanwhile, Violet has begun using her Stare-Stare Fruit powers on Fu Chuan, employing mind-reading to uncover more secrets about the Earl's family.

"Luo Ji, this guy is no ordinary person!!"

Violet exclaimed in disbelief that the count's second son had been hiding so many secrets.

With Violet's constant investigation and reports, Luo Ji and the others never expected that this seemingly honest and simple guy was actually the most deeply hidden person in the Harada family.

"The Earl's family wants to seize power? This guy wants to kill his elder brother and become the future heir to the kingdom?"

Luo Ji sat in an ornate chair, legs crossed, his index finger tapping the armrest, his gaze somewhat intriguing.

It turns out that the Harada family has already begun to deal with Aramaki, a powerful commoner.

Even the kingdom's princess was manipulated?

In the Kingdom of Taya, these deeply entrenched noble forces simply could not tolerate the rapidly rising god, Huang Mu.

If they don't suppress the Wilderness, they'll have no choice but to give up their own position and interests.

With Huang Mu's strength, becoming the Grand General of the King's Army and the Commander of the Garrison Army would be no problem at all.

But are these powerful nobles willing to relinquish their power and interests?

Moreover, the existence of the Wild Shepherd family affected the Earl's family's plan to seize power.

The powerful Aramu clan is the biggest obstacle to Count Yuukawa's power grab.

They had tried to subdue the Wild Sheep, but with little success.

If you can't have it, destroy it.

"The Earl's Mansion is now fabricating various crimes against Huang Mu, trying to get the royal family to sentence Huang Mu to a severe punishment, incite Huang Mu's resentment towards the royal family, and use Huang Mu to deal with the royal family."

However, the princess seemed to know of Aramaki's formidable strength and wanted to hand him over to the Navy.

However, the nobles who knew the truth and framed Aramaki certainly did not want to hand Aramaki over to the navy. They were worried that Aramaki would be recruited by the navy, become a naval commander in the future, and come back to take revenge on them.

Forcing the barbarians to become wanted criminals is the bottom line for the nobles.

Count Yuukawa's plan was to use the desolate pastures to eliminate the royal family.

Violet painstakingly unearthed the secrets in Bucheon's mind, and it must be said that the situation in this kingdom was truly filthy and chaotic.

"Wait for me here."

"I'm going to see this Wild Shepherd!"

Luo Ji closed his eyes to rest for a long time, then picked up the token from Fu Chuan's body and walked out with the Fu Chuan portrait puppet.

Seeing Luo Ji's serious expression, the women didn't suggest going together.

The hotel manager and waiters didn't dare to ask any questions when they saw Fu Chuan and Luo Ji leave together.

As for the fact that the guards from Fuchuan did not come along, they did not notice.

Following the route he had learned, Luo Ji found the royal prison and discovered the existence of Fu Chuan, the powerful second son of a count.

They entered the capital prison almost without any obstacles.

Luo Ji had the Fuchuan puppet issue some passage orders, and then, holding the Fuchuan token, he found the desolate pasture deep inside the prison, led by a jailer.

While lying down as usual, Huang Mu suddenly sensed a rather threatening aura, which piqued his interest.

Could it be that, besides myself, there is someone else in the Kingdom of Taya who could capture such a powerful criminal?

However, he was wrong. A young man dressed in magnificent aristocratic attire walked in.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you going to let me out?"

Huang Mu's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up. After being imprisoned for so long, was the princess finally going to forgive him?

"no!"

Luo Ji dismissed the jailers and looked seriously at Huang Mu, the Green Bull General from the original work. His aura was indeed very powerful.

"What! You still won't let me go? Then who are you, and what are you doing here!"

Huang Mu began to grumble and curse in annoyance. That princess was so sweet-looking, how could she be so petty? A few flirtatious words actually put this heroic police officer in jail for more than a year.

His friends in the guard unit were all disloyal and did nothing to save him.

"I just wanted to chat with you and see what kind of person you are."

"You don't actually think you went to jail for harassing the princess, do you?"

Luo Ji crossed his arms and watched with great interest this top-tier expert who was capable yet willing to go to prison.

"What do you mean?"

Huang Mu looked at Luo Ji with some displeasure. In fact, he also sensed that something was wrong, but as someone born in the Kingdom of Taya, he had never thought of betraying his country or going against the royal family's judgment.

"You, a commoner, are too powerful, while the power positions in the kingdom, which are already divided up by the nobles, are like a radish and a hole, one for each person."

"You said you wanted to be the commander of the garrison or the general of the royal army. Would those nobles be willing to give you those positions?"

Luo Ji glanced at Huang Mu indifferently. This guy wanted to rise to power, but he wasn't ruthless enough.

He lacks ambition and likes to talk nonsense and boast.

There is still a shred of justice in my heart.

Most importantly, Huang Mu was born a commoner, which made it even more difficult for him to break through the power network of the nobles.

Now, just one small thing is enough to send Huang Mu to jail.

"Who are you? Why are you telling me all this? Are you saying those nobles are targeting me?"

Huang Mu's eyes were filled with anger. He had said that he could not possibly be punished by the princess for so long for such a trivial matter. It turned out that the nobles had also intervened.

Are they afraid that I will threaten their position?

But with my strength, shouldn't I be promoted to those positions?

Why do those fat, pig-like nobles continue to hold such high positions of power in the kingdom?

"I've heard that Earl Xiongchuan has already gathered 'evidence' of your accepting bribes, bullying respectable women, and threatening your colleagues, and he's asking the Crown Prince to sentence you to even more serious crimes. You might never be able to leave here for the rest of your life!"

"They dare!!"

"Don't you know what kind of person the eldest prince is? He relies heavily on Earl Xiongchuan."

You were drunk back then, and you dared to say in front of other police officers that you wanted to be a corps commander and a general. You've already been blacklisted by the nobility.

"If you weren't so strong, they would have secretly killed you long ago!"

Luo Ji, seeing Huang Mu's growing exasperation, continued to provoke this hopeful fellow.

"Are they really going to lock me up for the rest of my life?"

Huang Mu's eyes began to redden, and his breathing became heavy. Thinking of the year of imprisonment, the jailers rarely even gave him food.

This forced him to feed on criminals, using the power of the Forest-Forest Fruit to drain them dry.

On another level, he was also 'eating people'!

"There's nothing we can do. In the Kingdom of Taya, Earl Xiongchuan is the real power behind the scenes, and you, a commoner, are eager to rise to a high position and seize power from them."

Luo Ji looked at the raging Huang Mu without fear, after all, he could turn the entire prison into an ocean in an instant.

Now, Luo Ji is more deserving of the title of King of Confined Spaces than Magellan, the user of the Venom-Venom Fruit.
