CHAPTER 1677: CHAPTER 546 WHEN FALSE MEETS TRUE, TRUE IS ALSO FALSE (PART 3)

"As the spokesperson of the God of War, are you going to force someone against their will?" Lord Beibei’s face turned the color of a ceremonial robe, as he was a Scepter Shaman wearing a black robe.

Next, will force be used to issue threats? The Pope’s lips curled into a cold smile.

"I want to make it clear that I am absolutely not being unreasonable, nor am I using my position to press anyone! The reason Cui Beixi cannot marry you, Lord Beibei, is because I’ve already made a lifetime commitment with her!" Richard slowly and methodically lit a large cigar, blowing out a cool mist of Snow Lotus.

This statement was like the assault of the eternal chill from Mount Tamerlarya, instantly freezing all the nobles in the stands.

Pope Brut sounded like a chicken with its throat cut, making strange noises, and the drastic change in his facial expression was eye-catching, with his noble smile momentarily becoming geometric shapes—triangular eyes, trapezoidal nose, square mouth, and compass-like gaze.

Helen and Moer were completely stupefied and clueless, while all the elite’s expressions were diverse; no one would have expected shock to be portrayed in such an assorted manner. Even less did someone anticipate the Shaman of Divine Songs had such boldness to utter these words publicly!

"I apologize, everyone." Richard chuckled: "Although Cui Beixi and I are in a mentor-student relationship, does the law of the kingdom state anywhere that a student cannot marry their mentor? The evidence you speak of, it seems, does not have even a hint of punitive clause in the codex, right? As for public opinion, let anyone say whatever they want!"

Mastery of law provisions is a course every criminal, or soon-to-be criminal, must take, and Richard has always excelled at it.

"Your Excellency! You are the Shaman of Divine Songs... how can you say such things here..." Pope Brut panicked, having no idea how to handle such a situation, and finally realized the difference between him and this ruffian; this guy’s mind never cared about the eyes and word of the world! He completely abandoned the stance of a politician, being an utterly bold and reckless fellow!

"Enough! I love Cui Beixi, it’s just that simple! For what reason should trodgingly conceal a beautiful love story praised for millennia by the world? Love is not a sin!" Richard imitated the philosophy of the Giant of Buddhism perfectly, and his candid and lovely life attitude once again bombarded everyone’s moral standards around him, crushing their nerves.

"Lord Beibei, to be frank, the child in Cui Beixi’s womb is mine!" Richard’s words made quite a few shamans feel anemic: "Kevin is just a nobody, I wanted to keep this a secret, but now that it’s out, I’ll openly say it. Cui Beixi and I have been intimate. Lord Beibei, do you still want to snatch Cui Beixi from me? I’m sorry, but I won’t stand idly by and watch my unborn child be killed. If you insist, I accept your challenge for a fair duel!"

Scepter Shaman Beibei stared in shock, his eyes nearly popped into a combat tower.

The change in situation is too weird, and neither unreasonable in emotion nor logic. As a shaman, of course, he would not allow his child to be killed in the womb! To openly disclose such private matters takes tremendous courage!

Pope Brut admitted defeat completely, although he firmly believed that Cui Beixi’s child was Mourinho’s and not Richard’s, but in this scenario, no one dared claim otherwise except Richard.

Even given thousands of chances to Mourinho, Pope Brut wouldn’t think the Great Swan Shaman would have the courage to stand here and say anything like this!

This is the Colosseum!

This is the main stand where the Northeast Province and many elites gathered!

"I have finished talking, you may go arrest the adulterer. Kevin has no relation to Cui Beixi, it’s that simple! He is just a puppet arranged by Cui Beixi to cover up the fact of being pregnant before marriage! As an irrevocable repayment, starting today, Cui Beixi will abandon her shaman status. I will submit her Medusa Badge to the temple." Richard looked around with an unchanged expression: "Today I will take Cui Beixi to Florence, thanking everyone here, for fulfilling my long-standing dream, making me determined to marry Cui Beixi!"

Not a word was spoken, pairs of eyes darted around, all would like to converse, yet unable to do so.

This Excellency has always had a notorious reputation, well-known in the kingdom, yet no one would imagine he dared to openly proclaim to marry his own mentor!

"Lord Beibei, please say something! For Mentor Cui Beixi, this is merely an undeserved disaster. Given that she has no substantial relationship with Kevin, and His Excellency has publicly acknowledged this fact, along with the absence of any law forbidding mentor-student romance, the temple’s punishment is naturally void!" Helen quickly woke from her shock.

She certainly didn’t believe Cui Beixi would have a child with Richard, as that would be too absurd.

"Are you determined to kill His Excellency Richard’s child and duel with him, or show magnanimity and choose to pursue the adulterous couple that harmed you?" Moer seized the opportunity, agreeing with Helen’s view that Richard could be involved with any beauty, except Cui Beixi!

Mistress Cui Beixi’s love for Lord Mourinho is utterly unquestionable!

Beibei shook his head blankly, looking dejected; anyone in his position would be utterly despairing.

The Pope was thoroughly exasperated!

Richard’s method was too absolute! Too radical!

He sacrificed his reputation, yet didn’t shake the authority of the Shaman of Divine Songs within the kingdom one bit!

Despite possessing strong military power, he didn’t use it at all! When did this guy become so clever?

With every Beamon knowing the child in Cui Beixi’s belly was certainly Mourinho’s blood, he still dared to contravene public opinion, boldly declaring himself Cui Beixi’s old lover, undoubtedly raising his influence among Beamon!

A shaman who dares to sacrifice himself to rescue a mentor, how could he lose all authority over mere reputation issues?

The child is Mourinho’s! Every Beamon knows this!

Truly amazing! Wisdom disguises as foolishness! Pope Brut shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Father, my admiration for you can only be described in the form of a ’bow of five bodies.’" Suddenly, Heigar’s star smiled at old Richard.

Richard’s smile froze instantly, and the large cigar burned down to his fingers without him feeling it.

This time, everyone seemed to have been petrified eternally.

**

I’m certain to tell all my brothers, Heigar’s star is absolutely not Richard’s son from the future, nor is Little Dao, that’s nonsense. Little Dao is a foster son adopted by old Richard’s mother, with no blood relation to old Richard, how could he end up in the Otherworld?

Moreover, the previous Chapters, "Full City in Golden Armor" isn’t parodying Zhang Yimou but is a poem of Yellow Nest praising chrysanthemums, since I am writing Empire Daughter Flower, all these Chapter titles are poetry celebrating chrysanthemums, the reviews make me laugh.

I’ll try finishing by the end of the year, but it looks difficult. I’ll try not to drag it out too much. Writing this long should end, five million words in a year, day, I can’t believe I wrote so many words myself.

For the next book, I’ll save the manuscript until I have a plan, updating 250,000 words a month, I’ll set the regulations, can’t keep writing and posting directly, it’s too painful... By the way, the next book is called "Gestures Hall—The Story of Conquering Fifty-Six Tribes"... Hehe... There are many themes, temporarily deciding to write this.
