Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Felix’s Help, Aiden’s Killing Intent
As soon as Henry finished speaking, the mood around them suddenly became heavy. Many people quietly took a few steps back and turned their eyes to Aiden.
Aiden looked calm and said lightly.”So what you mean is, since Logan is a vegetable now, then every genius Reclasser in this world should end up the same way?”
The moment he said that, people around them almost wanted to nod.
From what they knew, Logan’s accident during the final assessment happened because there were people from the Evil Demons Guild among the examinee.
Normally, Henry should be going after the Evil Demons Guild, not fixating on Aiden.
Someone couldn’t help whispering.”The Evil Demons Guild turned Logan into a cripple. What does that have to do with Aiden?”
“Yeah, the Evil Demons Guild is the real killer!”
“I heard a rumor that Henry broke into the royal palace today and wanted to kill Aiden.”
“What? That’s insane.”
As the whispers spread, Henry instantly looked toward where the voices came from.
The people who had been talking shut up right away, not daring to meet Henry’s eyes.
“Hmph, sharp tongue.” Henry snorted, and tried to step toward Aiden.
But James slowly shifted his foot and blocked him.
“Stop.” James said, his gaze cold as he looked at Henry.
The aura around him turned icy and merciless, and the temperature seemed to drop fast.
Henry took a deep breath, stared straight at James, and said through clenched teeth.”There was an examiner named Sam at the scene when Logan’s accident happened.”
“According to him, before Aiden used his skill, my son Logan was standing in the back. He couldn’t have been hit by that examinee named Alex’s skill!”
“It was Aiden—who knows what kind of skill he used—that caused this!”
Henry turned his head and locked his eyes on Aiden.
Just a moment ago, Logan—now a vegetable—was lying in bed, suffering in pain, while Aiden was on live TV, standing in the spotlight.
It made Henry want to kill Aiden on the spot.
But right now, with James and Atlas here, Henry had no way to lay a hand on Aiden.
Henry took a deep breath. His short, fat body seemed even bigger as he raised his hand, pointed at Aiden’s nose, and shouted.”I have reason to suspect that Aiden is working with the Evil Demons Guild to target my son!”
“What happened in the final assessment was a complete setup!”
“I’m taking Aiden away for a proper interrogation!”
After saying that, he tried to keep walking toward Aiden, but James didn’t move at all, like a solid wall.
Just then, Felix—who no one was paying attention to—had a slight change in expression.
Alex failing to commit suicide was already a huge hidden danger.
After all, once he fell into the hands of the tyrant Luke, dying would become a luxury.
Even if Alex didn’t know much, he could still end up revealing more secrets.
So at a time like this, Felix had to calm things down as much as possible and bury what happened in the final assessment.
“I really don’t want to do this, but right now, I have to help Aiden.”
“But this is fine too. At least it will make Aiden think I’m showing him goodwill.”
With that thought, Felix slowly let out a breath, walked up near Henry, and said.”No one wanted Logan to end up like this. I understand your anger.”
“But this was an accident. That damned Evil Demons Guild has always wanted to assassinate the Empire’s genius Reclasser.”
“If you keep making trouble like this, Her Majesty will be angry.”
Felix moved even closer to Henry. He could clearly see the killing intent on Henry’s face.
That made Felix feel secretly pleased. Aiden had to die—but who killed him mattered a lot.
Aiden had already become a household name, the future hope of the Great Shaw Empire.
If Aiden died at the hands of the Evil Demons Guild, the public’s anger would turn toward the Evil Demons Guild, and even the Abyss Demon.
But if Aiden died at Henry’s hands, the result would be completely different.
It would turn into an internal conflict within the Great Shaw Empire. People’s morale would drop, and they would become more cautious and conservative.
Felix took a deep breath and continued.”Alex is the key. As long as we can make him talk, we’ll naturally learn more of the truth.”
“After all, he’s a member of the Evil Demons Guild. If he says Aiden worked with the Evil Demons Guild, then I won’t try to stop you anymore.”
“The Evil Demons Guild is the enemy of all the people of the Great Shaw Empire. Working with them is treason, and it must be punished in the harshest way!”
After he finished, Felix gave Henry a long, meaningful look.
It took Henry a while to react. He thought.”Is he telling me what to do?”
“Right. If I can snatch Alex from Luke’s hands and question him myself, then whatever I say will be the truth. I can even make Alex ’die in an accident.’ Dead men tell no tales!”
Henry forced down his anger and gave Felix a grateful look.
Then he slowly turned around and walked toward Luke.
Seeing this, people nearby admired Felix and started talking among themselves. “Felix Lord really is something. He settled a conflict with just a few words.”
“Yeah. Felix Lord really thinks highly of Aiden. He invited Aiden earlier, and now he’s helping him out again.”
“From now on, in the whole Great Shaw Empire, I don’t think anyone will dare mess with Aiden.”
“Of course. Even without Her Majesty, there’s General James and AtlasLord, who both value Aiden a lot. And now the Empire’s top minister likes him too.”
“Man, that’s so enviable!”
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Felix’s mouth, but it disappeared quickly. He turned and walked up to Aiden, saying.
“Don’t worry. I believe this accident has nothing to do with you.”
Aiden’s face stayed blank as he said slowly.”I never had anything to do with the Evil Demons Guild. Logan ending up like this is what he deserved.”
Felix froze for a moment, then nodded and replied.”The truth will speak for itself. Don’t worry—Henry will slowly come to understand that the real enemy is the Evil Demons Guild.”
Felix sighed to himself. Aiden really wasn’t a fool. He wasn’t someone who could be easily swayed.
If it were any other genius Reclasser, they would have been grateful to him by now.
No wonder Aiden had survived his assassination plans twice. He really was a big problem.
On the day the first round of the assessment ended, his grandson Owen had come to him on his own, wanting Aiden to die in the final assessment.
It just so happened Felix wanted the same thing, so he personally set up a plan.
But in the end, Aiden still lived, and Logan became a vegetable.
When Felix looked at Aiden, he couldn’t help feeling a hint of admiration, along with a quiet trace of regret.
A strange thought came to his mind: if only Owen were as smart as Aiden.
Even if Owen couldn’t be exactly like Aiden, just having half of Aiden’s brains would be enough.
But sadly, Aiden had appeared in the wrong era.
For the Great Shaw Empire right now, keeping things stable and peaceful was the only right path.
Felix slowly brushed past Aiden.
Aiden narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Henry, who had already walked up to Luke.
“Alex turned my son into a vegetable. I have the right to question him, Luke. You’d better hand him over to me.” Henry said.
Luke answered at once.”Hand him over to you? Impossible.”
The two of them immediately faced off.
Aiden frowned. After hearing what Felix said earlier, he felt uneasy on instinct.
To others, Felix was speaking up for him and helping defuse the conflict.
But Aiden felt the opposite—the situation was moving in an even worse direction.
There’s a saying: don’t just listen to what someone says; look at what kind of result it leads to.
“Felix’s words sounded like he was helping me, but he was really steering Henry. If Alex is actually handed over to him for questioning, what would happen is pretty obvious.”
Aiden’s gaze grew colder. That familiar feeling came back again.
Now he seriously suspected that the person behind the scenes who had been guiding public opinion before was Felix.
The Empire’s top minister—could he really be connected to the damned Evil Demons Guild?
Aiden took a deep breath, and a flash of killing intent passed through his eyes.
No matter who it was, anyone who wanted to kill him had to die—even if it was the Great Shaw Empire’s top minister.
Just then, the standoff between Henry and Luke grew even more intense.
“Luke! I only want Alex right now. Don’t push your luck!” Henry roared.
Luke simply replied calmly.”Interrogating people from the Evil Demons Guild is my duty. You have no right to interfere.”
“I’m a prince of the Great Shaw Empire, Her Majesty’s brother! And my son became a vegetable because of Alex. How do I have no right to interfere?” Henry shouted, eyes wide.
Luke chuckled and said again.”Alex is not going to be handed over to you. Give it up.”
When it came to questioning criminals and getting answers by force, no one in the Great Shaw Empire was more professional than him.
Besides, Luke truly believed Logan’s situation had something to do with Aiden.
Whether it was to protect Aiden or to question the prisoner properly, there was no way he would hand Alex over to Henry.
“Fine. Then I’ll apply to Her Majesty. When the time comes, are you still going to disobey her order?” Henry said confidently, bringing up Empress Eira.
As soon as he finished speaking, Empress Eira walked out, her face cold.
