Jiang Yi sneered upon hearing this.
Jiang Yi knew exactly what kind of person Jiang Wanli was. Not a single word from his mouth was truthful. He deliberately spoke this way to make himself doubt, his sole purpose being to stall for time.
"You truly are an old fox. Your stalling tactics are useless!"
"I know very well how my father and master died back then. To tell you the truth, no matter what happens today, I must kill you with my own hands. I will avenge my master and father. Even if all the kings of hell came, they couldn't save you!"
Jiang Yi stared at Jiang Wanli and said calmly.
Jiang Wanli's brows furrowed slightly. "You are far more cunning than your father. Do you know what my biggest regret is? It's that I didn't eliminate you completely back then. If I had, my son wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't be in this predicament!
Also, I underestimated you too much back then. I knew you were still alive, but I didn't take you seriously, thinking you had nothing and couldn't stir up any significant trouble!
If I had used all my power to destroy you before your influence grew, things wouldn't have turned out this way!"
"What's the point of saying all this now?"
Jiang Yi finished speaking, took out a medicine and threw it onto Jiang Wanli's desk. He said, "I investigated and found that you killed my master with this poison back then, so I prepared the same poison for you. You now have a choice between a dignified death and an undignified one! It all depends on how you choose to die."
"What do you mean by a dignified or undignified death?"
Jiang Wanli asked.
"A dignified death means you swallow this bottle of poison yourself. Suicide can be considered a dignified way to die, and someone will collect your remains."
"An undignified death means I kill you myself and then throw your body into a mass grave. I've heard there are many wild dogs in mass graves, and your remains will be scattered to the wind!"
"Damn it, choose yourself!"
Jiang Yi said coldly.
"It seems you are determined to put me to death today!"
Jiang Wanli picked up the medicine bottle from the table, brought it to his nose to smell, and said, "That's right, this poison is exactly the same as the one I used to poison your master!"
Jiang Yi's gaze was fixed on Jiang Wanli.
This old fox had been stalling for time, and Jiang Yi's patience had run out.
Jiang Yi intended to personally send Jiang Wanli on his way. Since he refused the dignified death offered, he would have to be given the undignified one!
Suddenly, at this moment, a group of people barged into the hall from outside.
Leading them was none other than Meisha.
Behind Meisha stood the one-eyed bodyguard.
In addition, there were over twenty Royal Guards. These were all top-tier martial artists.
Jiang Yi sneered. Jiang Wanli's stalling was precisely to wait for Meisha to rescue him.
Now that Meisha had arrived, Jiang Wanli clutched onto her like a life-saving straw, his hope of survival finally rekindled.
"Princess Meisha, you're finally here!"
Jiang Wanli quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Jiang Yi is here for revenge and brought Prince Matthew's armored soldiers. I thought I was doomed, but now that you've personally arrived, I finally have a chance to live!"
"Don't worry, I won't let you die. You still have some value to our Eagle Kingdom's royal family!"
Meisha said.
Hearing this, Jiang Wanli breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Yi.
"Jiang Yi, it seems your plan will fail again this time. With Princess Meisha here, you can't kill me."
"Can't kill me?"
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh. "Jiang Wanli, I've already made it clear. No matter who comes today, they can't save you. You must die!"
His words made Jiang Wanli start to worry again.
"Insolent!"
Meisha's sharp gaze fixed on Jiang Yi, and she said sternly, "Our Eagle Kingdom's royal family intends to re-employ Jiang Wanli. With our royal family protecting him, I'd like to see what courage you have to lay a hand on him!"
Previously, the Eagle Kingdom's royal family had abandoned Jiang Wanli because they felt Jiang Yi had more utility.
However, upon learning that Jiang Yi was siding with Prince Matthew, the royal family had no choice but to re-employ Jiang Wanli.
This was why Meisha had personally come forward to protect Jiang Wanli. Sudan Novel Network
Jiang Yi ignored Meisha and focused his gaze on Jiang Wanli, saying in a deep voice, "Since you're unwilling to commit suicide, I'll have to do it myself!"
Jiang Wanli revealed a condescending smile upon hearing this. In his eyes, Jiang Yi wouldn't dare to kill him in front of Meisha.
At this moment, the Royal Guards brought by Meisha moved to stand directly in front of Jiang Wanli, blocking Jiang Yi's path.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi sneered.
"Whoosh!"
Jiang Yi raised his arm, and a silver needle flew out, heading straight for Jiang Wanli.
By the time the Royal Guards realized what was happening, the silver needle thrown by Jiang Yi had already pierced Jiang Wanli's vital point!
Being hit in this vital point would not kill Jiang Wanli instantly, but it would cause him to endure an hour of torment before dying in despair and pain.
Jiang Yi had initially intended to give Jiang Wanli a quick death, but Jiang Wanli insisted on choosing the most agonizing way to die.
Hit in the vital point by the silver needle, Jiang Wanli immediately collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain. His body began to convulse from the intense agony.
"Jiang Wanli has been injured by Jiang Yi! Hurry and send him to the hospital, we absolutely cannot let him die!"
Meisha shouted to the one-eyed bodyguard.
"Yes!"
The one-eyed bodyguard acknowledged and immediately ordered his men to rush Jiang Wanli to the hospital.
They were unaware that Jiang Yi had struck Jiang Wanli's vital point, and Jiang Wanli was beyond saving.
After Jiang Wanli was sent away, the one-eyed bodyguard angrily rebuked Jiang Yi, "Jiang Yi, you have quite the nerve to dare to commit murder in front of Meisha! You're finished today, and no one can save you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Royal Guards surrounded Jiang Yi.
"I'd like to see who dares to lay a hand on Jiang Yi. I don't care about princesses or anything else. I only know I must carry out my foster father's orders. Anyone who makes a move on Jiang Yi, we'll kill them!"
"If you don't believe me, try it!"
Cuixi's gaze turned sharp.
The armored soldiers from outside had already entered the hall one after another.
There were hundreds of these armored soldiers, all fully armed. Their numbers were several times that of the Royal Guards.
If a conflict broke out between the two sides, these Royal Guards would undoubtedly lose.
Therefore, they couldn't kill Jiang Yi, and would instead be annihilated.
Meisha was a smart woman and would not do something that yielded no benefit. Moreover, her purpose for coming here was not to kill Jiang Yi.
