Does the Butterfly Effect Really Exist? (20)

The two continued on their way and arrived at a garden, where the Prime Minister, who had been informed in advance, was already waiting for them at the entrance.

"Master, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing the Prime Minister's words, Tingmei was completely stunned. At this moment, besides staring blankly at her master's imposing back to express her admiration, she didn't know what else to do.

Sordil glanced at Tingmei slightly, and seeing the adoring look on her face, he chuckled to himself. Then he said in a flat (pretentious) tone, "Red, I've come to see you because there are a few urgent matters that require your immediate attention."

"Please give your orders, Master!"

"Red, you may not know this, but not long ago I discovered that the Queen was colluding with surrendered elements in the kingdom and contacting the Western Continent, providing them with intelligence and supplies in an attempt to overthrow the United Front Alliance."

Before Sordil could finish recounting what happened next, the prime minister jumped to his feet, exclaiming in panic, "What? Has the Queen gone mad? Master, we must find a way to stop them immediately!"

Old Suo waved for the Prime Minister to sit down, then said, "Red, don't worry, I've already taken care of the Queen. Now only a few small fry are still clinging to life. I'll have them dealt with later. There won't be any major problems!"

Upon learning that the danger had passed, the Prime Minister patted his chest and said with relief, "It's fortunate that you discovered them in time, Master; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

"Red, although the matter of the mole has been mostly dealt with, there are still other troubles that we need to solve!"

"Does Master mean... how to explain the Queen's death to the King and the nobles?"

"No! That's not all. We also need to resolve the issue of choosing a new king!"

The prime minister, who had barely sat down and hadn't even warmed the chair, quickly stood up again and said in surprise, "Master, you wouldn't...?"

"Belmod was fully aware of the Queen's actions, but instead of reporting her, he covered for her, so I took care of him as well!"

His suspicions were confirmed, which made the Prime Minister feel like his CPU was about to explode. After all, explaining the Queen's sudden death was already an incredibly difficult problem, and now there was the added burden of the King's passing. At this moment, the Prime Minister suddenly felt that the deceased His Majesty the King was incredibly adorable, incredibly sensible, and incredibly well-behaved.

Noticing the Prime Minister's change in expression, Sordil patted him on the shoulder and said, "Actually, this matter is not as troublesome as you think! Because soon, the dragons of the Western Continent will attack the palace, and the King and Queen will both perish, leaving no remains behind."

Having navigated the political arena for many years, how could the Prime Minister not understand Sordil's true meaning? Thinking about what was about to happen, the Prime Minister felt both relieved and alarmed.

In truth, Old Suo was unwilling to handle things this way either, but in order to stabilize the war situation and ensure the safety of his loved ones and family, His Your Highness the Prince had no choice but to choose this selfish and cruel method.

"Master, while this might just make the deaths of the King and Queen seem plausible, it will make it impossible to decide on a new king. And then... I'm afraid a conflict is inevitable!" (Prime Minister)

Faced with one problem after another, Sordil suddenly regretted his impulsive decision that led to Belmod's demise. But it was too late for regrets now. His only option was to do his utmost to control the situation; as for the rest, he could only gamble on his luck.

"Alright... I'll go find Gould right away and tell him to prepare to take over the throne. You should immediately contact your reliable subordinates and prepare for any eventuality. If everything goes smoothly, that would be best! But if anyone is foolish enough to cause trouble, I'll take care of them to ensure that Gould can sit on the throne safely."

"Master, with you here, others naturally won't dare to cause trouble, but you can't stay here forever, can you? (Prime Minister)"

Upon hearing the Prime Minister's words, Sordil pulled Tingmei closer and said, "She's a new subordinate I recruited, named Tingmei. If anyone dares to cause trouble after I leave, just send someone to her, and she'll take care of those disobedient individuals." (Haha! Tingmel's psychological trauma right now is probably bigger than the Earth, isn't it?)

The Prime Minister glanced at Sister Ting, then nodded, indicating that he had remembered.

"Alright, I still have some things to tell Tingmei, so I won't bother you any longer!"

Upon seeing Old Suo stand up, the Prime Minister also stood up and bowed to Old Suo.

"Respectfully seeing off our master!"

When Tingmei opened her eyes again from the Silver-White Light, she was once again taken by Old Suo to an unknown room.

Looking at the bookshelves embedded in the surrounding walls and the documents piled up not far from them, Tingmei concluded that this must be the study of some important person. At this moment, she really wanted to ask her master if he had any special feelings for the study. Otherwise, why would he always set up the Teleportation Array in such a semi-public place, instead of a more secluded location?

Just as Sister Ting was struggling with her decision, footsteps suddenly came from the stairwell.

A moment later, a Red-haired girl led about ten burly men down the stairs. When they saw Sordil standing in the center of the room, they quickly walked up to Sordil and bowed in greeting.

"Silver Moon greets Master!"

"Yes! Get up!"

"Thank you, Master!"

After Silver Moon and the others stood up, Old Suo once again pulled Tingmei out from behind him and introduced her to Silver Moon and the others, "This is my newly recruited intelligence elite, Tingmei Exa! She will stay here and work with you from now on. I hope you can get along well."

"Please rest assured, Master, we will definitely get along well!"

"Okay! That's good!"

Sordil nodded at Silver Moon with satisfaction, then continued, "Oh, right! Silver Moon, immediately send someone to invite Black Robe and Bill. I have a task for you!"

"Please rest assured, Master, I will make the arrangements immediately!"

After saying that, Silver Moon whispered something to the two burly men behind her, and then the two hurriedly left.

"Master, it will take some time for Black Robe and Bill to arrive here. Why don't we go upstairs to the guest rooms and wait for them?"

"Just take Tingmei to the guest room upstairs to wait for them. I still have some things to take care of!"

"Yes, Master!"

After leaving the Silver Moon Bar, Sordil arrived outside the city and used Transformation Magic to become Montedoss (Old Suo transformed into the complete Montedoss, not the one missing arms and legs he is now), and then flew straight towards the royal palace.

A moment later, the bright yellow royal palace came into Old Suo's view, and at that moment Sordil began to dive.

A biting wind whipped across Old Suo's face, causing a slight itch. The ever-growing ground made his heart race, and the discomfort from the high-speed movement made him feel nauseous and want to vomit. But instead of slowing down, Old Suo increased his sprint. As he got closer to the ground, everything in the palace became clearer and clearer.

When the two sides reached a certain distance, Old Suo Old Suo roared down and then unleashed a Dragon Breath towards the palace.

"Boom!"

Centered on the Queen's palace, all buildings within a radius of 500 meters were engulfed by the massive explosion and, along with the towering mushroom cloud, were reduced to rubble that scattered in all directions.

Just as the area below turned into an endless sea of fire, Sordil, hovering in the air, let out another loud dragon roar, seemingly showing off its power to the panicked humans below.

Once the humans below had remembered the wicked dragon, Old Suo did a dragon tail flick, confidently turned back and took off, then disappeared into the thick clouds.

Having successfully escaped everyone's sight, Old Suo activated his Transformation Magic again, restoring his appearance to human form. Having done this, Sordil immediately constructed a Teleportation Array in the air and hurriedly headed to the next film set.

Upon meeting Gould, Old Suo went straight to the point, recounting in detail his investigation of the traitor, the killing of Belmod, and Leshia. Before the Duke could even process this incredibly exciting information, Old Suo told him about the plan he had discussed with the Prime Minister. This time, the lucky Duke was so excited that he fainted.

After a flurry of activity by Old Suo and Diphiya (who was listening in, this is Diphiya's Thought Body), the Duke finally regained consciousness.

"Gould, have you remembered everything I said?"

"I've written it all down! But..."

"I've got it. Now do as I say. You don't need to worry about anything else. And... don't let me hear the word 'but' again, or there will be two kings ascending the throne tomorrow!"

Hearing Sordil's cold words, Gould nodded tremblingly.

After resolving the issue here, Old Suo left the Duke's mansion via the Teleportation Array to arrange subsequent matters.

While Old Suo was cleaning up the mess he had made in Philiers, two people drawn together by fate were drawing closer to each other, threading together the knot of destiny that would remain untied for many years to come.

If Old Suo were here, he would know that on the magical continent of Ishgar, his seven-colored butterfly could neither cause a storm, nor alter the course of this world. Of course, I'm referring to Sordil in this timeline; whether he would have that ability four hundred years from now... well, that remains to be seen!

After all, that idiot Sordil still hasn't discovered the true power left to him by some powerful figure (if the older sister at the beginning knew how Old Suo was doing, she'd probably smash him with a brick to save him from embarrassing himself here!), let alone control it to help him transform into a true chosen one! (Hehe! Old Suo's awesome era hasn't arrived yet, so nothing can be changed!)
