The Seven Deadly Sins! Had All of the Imperial Crown's Core Members Betrayed Imperial Emperor?
The group chat members held their breath.
Jueying said guiltily, "Back then, when I found out the truth about Phoenix's rebellion, she was framed by Hundred Demons Nurarihyon through a photoshopped image. I immediately informed Captain Imperial Emperor of the results of my investigation into Phoenix's rebellion."
The group chat text interface scrolls.
Jueying posted the chat log from when he reported to the Imperial Emperor years ago. Everyone in the group chat clicked to view it and was stunned.
Jueying said bitterly, " The Imperial Emperor, knowing the truth, did not show mercy and, in accordance with the Imperial Crown Rules and Regulations, banished the Phoenix from the team."
Jueying took a deep breath and said, "I was extremely angry at the time. After all, Phoenix was the head of the personnel department and my direct superior. She had always treated me well, so I started to stand up for Phoenix."
"I know that Captain Imperial Emperor did nothing wrong in this matter; the one who was wrong was that Hundred Demons Nurarihyon who framed Phoenix!"
"At that time, I was blinded by anger, and I secretly contacted Hundred Demons Nurarihyon and cursed him with all sorts of foul language, insulting his ancestors for eighteen generations."
Jueying posted his old chat history with Nurarihyon.
The group chat members hurriedly checked and felt a chill run down their spines. They knew that Jueying and refined person, the most cultured person in the Imperial Crown. For him to swear so vehemently, it was clear how angry he was at that moment.
Jueying's voice trembled slightly, "I have been suffering greatly, and I have never dared to confess to the Imperial Emperor and everyone else, because no matter what legitimate reasons I may have, the fact remains that I betrayed the Imperial Emperor."
" The Imperial Crown Rules and Regulations outline seven crimes of betraying the Imperial Emperor, and without a doubt, I have committed the [sin of wrath]."
"Tonight, Hanlu, the Shejun, betrayed the Imperial Emperor due to the Hundred Demons Team and is suspended pending investigation. After much internal struggle, I have decided to be honest with everyone."
"Whether it's suspension for investigation or expulsion from the Imperial Crown Team, I will accept whatever the outcome."
Jueying's voice sounded slightly tired. "That concludes my remarks. Thank you for listening."
The group chat fell silent instantly.
No one expected that Jueying would publicly reveal that he had betrayed the Imperial Emperor!
After a long while.
"I too have betrayed the Imperial Emperor."
Sudden!
Just then...
Wangsun's microphone flashed, his voice tinged with relief, "Back when Silver Dragon was still the deputy director of the finance department, I once falsified accounts and embezzled millions of team funds because the auto repair shop was experiencing cash flow difficulties."
"To fill the financial hole in my own auto repair shop, although I later secretly made up for the embezzled team funds, my actions were undoubtedly a betrayal of the Imperial Emperor."
"The sin I committed was [the sin of greed]."
Like a domino effect.
"I too have betrayed the Imperial Emperor."
The Yuejing microphone flashed, "That year, I temporarily served as the Vice Captain of the Imperial Crown. Driven by personal greed, I abused my power as vice-captain to modify Imperial Crown's rules and regulations, forcing all male members of the team to take photos in black stockings."
"If I don't take photos in black stockings, I'll face expulsion from the team. The crime of betrayal I committed is [the sin of lust]."
The group chat members could only manage a wry smile.
"Alas, I too have betrayed the Imperial Emperor."
Ganglie's microphone flashed, "It must have been eight years ago. The Imperial Emperor personally funded the distribution of New Year's gifts to all the Imperial Alliance. The list included fitness protein powder, and since I love working out, I was really envious."
"So I removed the protein powder from my New Year's shopping list and secretly kept all of it. To this day, I, Lao Zhu, still haven't finished it."
"If judged as a traitor to the Imperial Emperor, my crime, Old Zhu, is [the crime of gluttony]."
The group chat fell silent.
"I too have betrayed the Imperial Emperor."
Chou Ox's microphone flashed, "I always promised Imperial Emperor I'd participate in team matches and internal competitions, but I either missed them without reason or I was late."
"Although this is due to the special nature of my physical constitution and there are perfectly legitimate reasons, every time I break a promise and act irresponsibly, it is a betrayal of the Imperial Emperor."
"My sin is [the sin of sloth]."
The group chat was filled with deep sighs.
"I too have betrayed the Imperial Emperor."
The microphone of the Huranlang flashed, "When I was crowned the Strongest Uncrowned Emperor Imperial Crown multiple consecutive years, it made me extremely arrogant. I privately messaged the Imperial Emperor many times, challenging him to a solo duel, but he always ignored me."
"An arrogant and conceited thought arose in my heart. Perhaps the Imperial Emperor was afraid of losing to me, thus jeopardizing his honor and status as the number one King of Glory."
"My crime is [the sin of pride]."
Yujingzi's microphone flashed, "I, too, have betrayed the Imperial Emperor."
"I am extremely jealous of the Silver Dragon Phoenix Mountain Lord. Why is it that they can receive the Imperial Emperor's sincere affection, while I, Yujingzi, cannot?"
"I poured my heart out to the Imperial Emperor, I was practically ready to lay my heart bare before him, but Imperial Emperor kept his heart closed off and only offered me money as a token of his affection. That's not fair."
I'm jealous of them.
Jealousy has made me unrecognizable.
"My crime is [the sin of jealousy]."
The group chat remained silent.
All of them, the core members of the Imperial Crown, had betrayed the Imperial Emperor. If Jueying been the first to expose his Imperial Emperor, they might have buried their betrayals deep in their hearts for the rest of their lives, never mentioning them to anyone.
At this moment.
Wangsun's microphone flashed, breaking the silence first.
"According to the rules and regulations of the Imperial Crown, all of you, including myself, who have betrayed the Imperial Emperor, shall be punished by being exiled from the Imperial Crown."
The group chat members were shaken.
"But no one is perfect, who can be without fault?" Wangsun said in a deep voice. "Although we once used the power granted by the Imperial Emperor to do things that betrayed the Imperial Emperor, that was nothing more than a moment of being blinded by evil."
"We remain loyal to the Imperial Emperor from the bottom of our hearts."
"Just like Jueying was the first to confess his betrayal of the Imperial Emperor, he must have thought about being expelled from the team, but he still chose to be honest. This shows that his loyalty to the Imperial Emperor has never changed."
The group chat members clenched their fists, their emotions gradually rising.
Wangsun continued, "When we see Jueying's courage to expose himself, and others choosing to reveal their past betrayals of the Imperial Emperor, would we, if we were not loyal to the Imperial Emperor, choose to expose ourselves?"
The group chat participants resolved their misunderstandings and started talking all at once.
" Wangsun is right. Publicly admitting to betraying the Imperial Emperor is itself a unique form of loyalty to the Imperial Emperor."
"A prodigal son's return is more precious than gold. Because all of you here have betrayed the Imperial Emperor in the past, you feel guilty and remorseful, which is why you want to be even more loyal to the Imperial Emperor. Even if the Imperial Emperor knows about this, he will surely forgive us."
"Our betrayal is different from that of Shejun Hanlu. They betrayed the Imperial Emperor now, while we betrayed him a long time ago. We were young then, and our ability to resist temptation and desire was weak, so it was inevitable that we made mistakes."
Having laid the groundwork, Wangsun spoke up, "The three vice-captains have finished speaking. Let's begin the vote on the candidates for the positions. I vote for Jueying the roles of [Legal Power] and [Judicial Power]."
Without hesitation, Huranlang said, "I also vote for Jueying. Without his courage to take the blame first, I would never dare to expose my betrayal."
Yujingzi then stated, "It must be Jueying who fulfills his duty. Unlike us who betrayed the Imperial Emperor, Jueying were not driven by personal desires, but rather by a momentary impulse fueled by emotions. He did not truly betray the Imperial Emperor."
The group chat members also expressed their strong support.
"Yes, Jueying is definitely the most loyal person to Imperial Emperor Imperial Crown, otherwise the Imperial Emperor would not have entrusted the most important [personnel power] to Jueying."
" Jueying's appointment to two important posts is a well-deserved recognition!"
"I, Old Zhu, wholeheartedly support Jueying in fulfilling his duties."
The voting results were released quickly.
Huranlang: 0 votes.
Yujingzi: 0 votes.
Jueying: 6 votes!
