The Steward Demonic Emperor

Chapter 502: Glorified

“Parish’s eyes can only see fate’s direction, not the details. I am fully aware of their shortcomings and there’s no way the stars would’ve revealed about me and Quanrong having a deal.”

The emperor eyed Yun Shuang but shook his head.

Zhuo Fan nodded, “Right, Shuang’er couldn’t tell the facts, only who’s fate went up, went down, went bust or struck gold; which was more than enough.”

Zhuo Fan grinned, “The moment the Quanrong delegation entered the imperial capital, they were at the top of their game, since they came for their share. Regent Estate and Zhuge Changfeng’s readings showed growth as well, which was reasonable as well. It may be from being in cahoots with Quanrong or Quanrong’s movements serving their purpose. And then there was the Luo clan’s prediction, looking mighty flat, if I may say. Quite fair, since Quanrong didn’t come for us, but to give this cesspool a good whirl. And with Luo clan’s shaky foundation, it affected us quite a bit. Although…”

Zhuo Fan turned his creepy smile over to the emperor, “How come Your Majesty’s fate spiked the moment Quanrong were here, higher than the other four even? This made no sense. Quanrong and Tianyu are enemies, how can the first’s arrival boost Your Majesty’s fate? I’d never considered your shady deal, Your Majesty, since it was downright taboo. The slighted slip up will have everyone in on it and your power will be revoked.

“I had Shuang’er watch the fates many times over to confirm it. By eliminating all rational possibilities, you arrive at the answer, no matter how improbable it is. Your Majesty, you just turned your back on everyone, making shady deals with Quanrong. That’s when all my planning started and I had the elders dig a bunker to prepare to fight off Quanrong’s attack…”

Zhuo Fan trailed off. The emperor sighed, “You’re very smart. With Holy Maiden’s help, this is the result.”

“No need to patronize me, Your Majesty is the true genius here, even though dogmatic, driving everyone away. Yun Xuanji, Dugu Zhantian, Zhuge Changfeng, the list goes on.” Zhuo Fan chuckled.

Yun Shuang froze, “Y-you mean grandfather…”

“Shuang’er, I know old Yun’s death has been torturing you. I said I’ll get you revenge, but back then wasn’t the right timing. Now I present you with the murderer, for you to take revenge yourself.”

Zhuo Fan was the supreme winner here, with the title of emperor being at his discretion. And from Luo clan’s stance, Crown Prince figured that no one else wanted the job.

So he rushed to grab that big thick leg.

Glancing over, Zhuo Fan mocked, “You think it’s that great fighting over a glorified empty chair?”

“Sure is, totally. Get me on it and I’ll do anything!” Crown Prince bobbed his head.

All he got were looks of contempt…
