Lord Death Is Now Back Home by Chris

Chapter 1192: I Refuse

Chapter 1192: I Refuse

Especially so.

Wyatt Eastman's eyes were wide, with a look of disbelief.

Seeing this, Neville Goodwin felt a surge of heat, fear gripping him instantly.

If even Wyatt Eastman could be betrayed, then what fate awaited him?

With this thought, Neville Goodwin dared not continue his thoughts.

Wyatt Eastman was the absolute right-hand man of the Lord Protector!

And himself...

Just someone forced to join Daniel Williams halfway through.

If Daniel Williams couldn't even protect Wyatt Eastman, then Neville Goodwin was surely doomed.

In an instant, Neville Goodwin's face turned ashen, filled with despair!

And Lord Protector Daniel Williams, his expression even more grim than Neville Goodwin's!

Wyatt Eastman was his man, now publicly killed, it was as if he had been slapped in the face in front of everyone and called worthless!

Daniel Williams wanted to explode, but he couldn't.

Because Juliette held the royal decree, representing Master William.

Even if Daniel Williams had a hundred times more courage, he wouldn't dare defy the royal decree.

To defy the royal decree, the consequences were unthinkable.

After Wyatt Eastman's execution, Tiger sneered, "A piece of trash dares to slander the boss, truly ignorant!"

Seeing this, Juliette continued reading the royal decree.

"East Coast Wilshiro Court leader Neville Goodwin, regardless of right or wrong, illegally led troops to capture Chris Shelby, disregarding authority! It is hereby announced, Neville Goodwin is stripped of his position as leader of East Coast Wilshiro Court, and publicly beheaded as a warning to others!"

"Ah!"

Upon hearing the royal decree, Neville Goodwin immediately cried out.

He collapsed to the ground, never expecting to meet such a fate.

"Lord, save me! Save me!" Neville Goodwin cried out to Daniel Williams, "I only went to capture Chris Shelby on your orders, you can't just stand by! If I die, who else will join you?"

Facing Neville Goodwin's plea, Daniel Williams bit his lip, saying nothing.

What could he say now?

What else could he say?

Wyatt Eastman was killed because of him, could he still protect Neville Goodwin?

It was obvious, this was a conspiracy!

Only now did Daniel Williams realize, this was a complete conspiracy.

And most likely, it was Chris Shelby's conspiracy.

He led troops to capture Chris Shelby, not only failing to kill him, but also backfiring.

Now Neville Goodwin and Wyatt Eastman were to be executed, a huge blow to his reputation.

In court, he would be a joke, who else would join him in the future?

If he couldn't even protect his confidant, was he worth joining?

Merciless!

So ruthless!

Seeing Daniel Williams remain silent, Neville Goodwin was completely desperate.

After despair came endless anger.

If not for Daniel Williams, he would never have reached this point.

He was doing well as the leader of East Coast Wilshiro Court.

It was all because of Daniel Williams now, losing his position as leader of Wilshiro Court, and facing execution.

At this thought, Neville Goodwin glared at Daniel Williams with resentment, cursing, "Daniel Williams, you bastard, you've caused me so much pain! If I had known better, I wouldn't have believed your words to go against Chris Shelby, I regret it so much!"

"Daniel Williams, don't be arrogant, I'll be waiting for you down below, I want to see how you die then!"

Faced with Neville Goodwin's curses, Daniel Williams' face darkened.

He wanted to retort, but didn't know what to say.

Now, saying anything was meaningless, with Master William's decree and tens of thousands of troops not following his orders.

Even the people of Wilshiro Court would only obey Master William's orders.

As Lord Protector, he was nothing in front of Master William!

Throughout history, power came from the barrel of a gun, having an army was the key!

Damn it!

If Chris Shelby hadn't destroyed his Hall of Death, he wouldn't have fallen to this.

At this thought,

Daniel Williams' hatred towards Chris Shelby deepened!

Even more terrifying...

He arranged so many officials, lords reporting on Chris Shelby, and Master William turned a blind eye!

What did this mean?

This meant Master William's favoritism towards Chris Shelby had reached an unprecedented level!

For Chris Shelby, Master William defied all the civilian groups in the country!

In an instant,

Daniel Williams' hatred for Chris Shelby flared up!

"Enough. Let's not waste words, I'll send you on your way!"

At this moment,

Tiger approached with a sword, full of disdain.

With a thud,

Neville Goodwin knelt before Tiger, pleading, "No! Please! I don't want to die, spare me, I promise I won't oppose Primus in the future!"

Tiger looked at Neville Goodwin disdainfully, mocking, "Remember, in your next life, keep your eyes open, not everyone is worth joining."

Swish!

As the words fell,

Tiger's sword came down.

In an instant,

Neville Goodwin's head flew off.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The whole ground was stained red.

Seeing this, everyone gasped in horror.

Especially the people of Wilshiro Court, each felt a chill down their spine.

If their leader could be killed, what about them?

All the eyes of Wilshiro Court turned resentful towards Daniel Williams.

If not for Daniel Williams, Neville Goodwin wouldn't have died, and they wouldn't be kneeling there.

Feeling the resentment from the people of Wilshiro Court, Neville Goodwin knew he had lost their loyalty.

It would be impossible to use them to do his bidding in the future!

That bastard Chris Shelby not only severed his right-hand man but also cut off his reach for military power.

He knew he was finished.

Rebellion in the future would be even more difficult.

In an instant,

The scene fell silent.

You could hear a pin drop.

No one dared to breathe.

Even Neville Goodwin, a dignitary of the court, was killed!

What else could they say?

Terrifying!

It was truly terrifying!

Juliette glanced at Daniel Williams and said calmly, "Lord Protector Daniel Williams, disregarding right and wrong, took matters into his own hands to capture Chris Shelby, given that this is his first offense, he shall receive a light punishment as a warning. From this day forth, the Lord Protector shall be demoted from prince to baron, as pronounced!"

After reading the decree, Juliette walked towards Daniel Williams with a blank expression, "Alright! The decree of the second prince has been read, hurry and thank him!"

Master William did not kill Daniel Williams because he was still a prince, unlike Neville Goodwin and Wyatt Eastman.

Killing Daniel Williams would surely cause chaos in the court.

So.

For the safety of all of Amerosia, Daniel Williams' life was spared for now.

Even so, demoting Daniel Williams from prince to baron was a heavy blow.

A prince was esteemed, above all others.

In all of Amerosia, there were not more than 10.

Such people naturally attracted ambitious individuals.

And a baron.

Hmm!

There were plenty in Amerosia, a dime a dozen.

After all, the last Master William was a sentimental figure...

To put it bluntly, stumbling in the streets of Middleton could produce a baron!

Master William's decision.

Was a huge blow to Daniel Williams!

He was being warned not to overstep.

Otherwise, next time, things wouldn't be as simple as just a demotion!

Daniel Williams understood this, clenching his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead.

He never expected his elder brother to be so ruthless. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Not only did he kill his men, but also stripped him of his title.

What was the purpose of this?

It was a punishment to himself!

Daniel Williams raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.

"I refuse!"
