Chapter 466: Usurpation

At first glance, the two of them looked very relaxed. They did not look like one who had just lost his father and brother by murder, and the other did not look like he had just suffered his first major setback in his life.

After the dishes were delivered and Diana confirmed that the area was safe, Lei Luo’s expression became slightly more serious.

“What exactly happened?”

“Everything was instigated by Strachey. From the beginning to the end, I had no idea.”

As if he was afraid that Lei Luo would not believe him, Ulysses continued.

“Let’s not talk about other things first. I think that with your intelligence, you should be able to find out what kind of relationship Karman and I have. Our relationship is bad. It was long before we met. It was definitely not a disguise. Even if I wanted to do something to you, I would definitely not trust Karman to execute it...”

“You’ve misunderstood.”

After Ulysses’words came to an end, he said,

“I’m not talking about this. If things have developed to this point, and I still don’t know who the real mastermind behind the incident at Holy City of Beauty is, then I’d be too stupid. So, you don’t need to waste your time explaining anything to me.”

“Oh, that’s good.” Ulysses first let out a sigh of relief and said to Lei Luo, “This is what I like about you the most. You’re always so direct, simple, but just right.”

“We’ll spend a lot of time in the future to praise and connect with each other. For now, let’s talk about something practical.”

Lei Luo clicked his tongue and looked up at Ulysses.

“Is there a connection between the death of your father and your brother?”

Ulysses hesitated for a moment before finally saying, “Everything was done by my teacher.”

Ulysses’ way of addressing Strachey made Lei Luo feel slightly surprised.

“Even now, you still call him your teacher?”

Ulysses raised his head and glanced at Lei Luo, revealing a bitter smile.

“Calling your enemy who killed your father and brother your teacher is a little unbelievable, isn’t it? But to me, it’s nothing special.”

Saying this, Ulysses sighed with some emotion.

“How many nights have I dreamed that my father and my brother could die like today. And every time I wake up from such a dream, I feel both excited and disappointed....Excited that I had such a beautiful dream, but when I do realize that it’s just that, I then ask, ‘why did it only happen in a dream?’”

Ulysses turned his head and looked at Lei Luo with a smile. “Doesn’t it sound a little creepy?”

“Not really. I’ve never had a family since I was young. So, I can’t talk about love or hate. I can’t completely imagine how you feel. However, I can somewhat understand the pressure you’re under from your father and brother. No one likes someone who wants to kill himself like your brother. No one likes someone who plays with their own fate like your father, and there’s no pattern at all.”

At this point, Lei Luo paused.

“However, there is one thing I would like to confirm. is your judgment based on your intuition or some concrete evidence?”

“Both,” Ulysses replied.

“Only my master has the authority to take the medicine without going through the pharmacist.”

“If that’s the case...” Lei Luo’s chopsticks shook slightly in his hand. “Why did you come to find me? Your father and your brother, the two people who caused you trouble, were all eliminated by your teacher. Because of your brother’s death, some of your brothers will also have covetous thoughts towards the throne, but as long as you cooperate with your teacher, the throne will be yours sooner or later.”

“Yes.” Ulysses nodded. “My teacher promised to make me the crown prince.”

Lei Luo’s expression froze. After a while, he asked, “Make you the crown prince? You mean...”

“Yes. My teacher has already told me publicly that he intends to usurp the throne of Beichen.” Ulysses nodded affirmatively.

“How is this possible?” Lei Luo shook his head in disbelief.

“How can the other dukes just sit back and watch this happen?”

“Do you still remember that I once told you a piece of information which I said was very crucial?” Ulysses asked.

Lei Luo turned his head. “Which one are you talking about?”

Ulysses replied, “Kalasao was killed by the rebel army because of the magic conductor rebellion.”

Lei Luo nodded. “I remember. Is this information related to the matter we are talking about?”

“Of course. After Kalasao died, the throne fell into the hands of a retard. His more than 100 sons were either killed, fled, or chose to submit.”

Ulysses’s words made Lei Luo’s mouth open slightly. “You mean... the king has fallen into the control of a powerful minister?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” Ulysses spread his hands.

Speaking up to this point, Ulysses leaned closer and said to Lei Luo, “There’s another thing that’s the scariest. It’s also the thing that made me decide to come and find you.”

“What is it?”

“Papafilin specially wrote a letter to my teacher, inviting my teacher to discuss the secret alliance with him.”

“God...” Lei Luo was completely dumbfounded. He shook his head speechlessly.

“So, Papafilin has already admitted to your teacher’s usurpation?”

“The matter won’t be so pure.”

Ulysses smiled coldly and shook his head.

“In my opinion, my teacher’s relationship with Papafilin is definitely not a one-or two-day relationship.”

Lei Luo thought about it and agreed, so he asked again, “How did you know about this?”

Ulysses looked out of the window. “Diana found a way to get the information from one of my teacher’s confidants.”

Lei Luo followed Ulysses and looked out. Seeing Diana’s back reflected on the door, he knew very well what Ulysses meant by “a way.”

But at the same time, Lei Luo instinctively felt a little uncomfortable about Ulysses using Diana to do such a thing.

As if he had seen through Lei Luo’s thoughts, Ulysses explained with a smile, “Things are not as dirty as you think. There is no need to degenerate to the point of using physical means to seduce a person.”

“Papafilin, the strongest of the 12 dukes, and Strachey, who is about to usurp the throne of Beichen...Does Papafilin want to regain the throne of Emperor Victor?”

As Lei Luo said this, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Ulysses and asked, “I want to ask you, why didn’t the senate do anything when the Doomsday Dusk destroyed the East God? Was it Papafilin who helped the Doomsday Dusk settle the higher-ups?”

“No.”

Lei Luo originally thought that Ulysses would answer that he didn’t know, or that it was, but he didn’t expect Ulysses to answer with a no.

Lei Luo was very surprised. “If it wasn’t Papafilin, then who was it?”
