The moment those words fell, everyone froze. Then the Finance Minister and the Interior Minister burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! Roy-sama, have you not been sleeping lately? Are you out of your mind? Who do you think you're giving orders to?"
"I'd like to see who in this kingdom dares lay a hand on me!"
The two ministers mocked him without restraint. The Defense Minister could only shake his head helplessly.
After all, the kingdom's military power was firmly in his hands. Without his command, even the prince could not mobilize a single soldier.
The guards in the hall looked at one another. They wanted to follow Roy's order, but military discipline was absolute, and in the end none of them dared act rashly.
"Roy-sama" The young maid looked uneasily at Roy's calm face, her heart heavy with worry.
Yet just as everyone thought Roy had been driven insane by the situation
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Four black shadows appeared from nowhere. In a single instant, they were already in front of the three ministers and Alec.
"Who are you?"
The Defense Minister lived up to his title. Even though he had not fought in a long time, his reaction was still sharp.
He snorted coldly and threw a punch at the shadow before him.
But the moment his fist was about to connect, the shadow vanished.
In the next instant, the Defense Minister felt the world spin, and his entire body was slammed hard onto the floor.
The tip of a strangely shaped weapon was already pressed to the center of his forehead, making him not dare move a muscle.
"Don't move, or you die."
A masked member wearing a monkey mask pinned the Defense Minister down, the tip of a kunai held tight to his forehead.
The speed was unbelievable.
The skill was terrifying.
The Defense Minister's heart jolted. He glanced around and saw that aside from Alec of the Gambino family, the other two ministers had already been subdued as well, kunai precisely aimed at their foreheads.
"Ah!"
The line of maidservants that had been prepared as gifts for Alec let out piercing screams and fled in panic.
"Who are you people?"
The surrounding guards were also shocked and tried to move, only to realize that behind every single guard, a masked figure had appeared in complete silence, a kunai already at their throats.
"If you don't want to die, stay still."
White Fang stepped out from the shadows, tossing out those cold words. Then he walked up to Roy and saluted respectfully.
"Roy-sama, all targets have been secured."
"Mm." Roy remained calm and gave a slight nod.
"Roy-sama" The young maid stared at White Fang and the others, completely stunned.
"Don't be afraid. They're an assassination unit I trained in secret. They're my trusted people." Roy smiled gently at the maid, then stepped forward to stand before the three ministers and Alec.
"Bastards! Who are you? How dare you touch the Finance Minister! Where is the kingdom's army? Call the army here, now!" The Finance Minister struggled and roared.
"Damn it, Roy, these are your people, aren't they? Tell them to let me go!" The Interior Minister glared at Roy, hatred filling his eyes.
"I underestimated you." The Defense Minister, however, suddenly became unusually calm. He looked at Roy deeply, as if trying to see through him.
Roy met his gaze, then ordered the masked members holding the three ministers, "Take them away and lock them up first."
"Yes, Roy-sama." Three members moved at once, dragging the ministers out.
Other than the Defense Minister, the other two fought wildly, screaming and cursing.
Roy watched them being hauled away, then looked at the Defense Minister, who neither struggled nor shouted. His brows tightened slightly, then relaxed.
"I don't know what you're planning, but since you chose this road with no return, then the only thing waiting for you is death." Roy closed his eyes lightly, then opened them again a moment later.
Then Roy turned his attention to Alec, who was struggling with all his strength.
"Damn it! Let me go! Let me go right now! You're finished! I'm warning you, Zephyr Kingdom, your good days are over! How dare you treat me like this? The Gambino family will make you pay a terrible price. Just wait for your kingdom to be destroyed!" Alec screamed himself hoarse.
"Too noisy." Roy frowned, lifted his leg, and kicked hard into Alec's wide open mouth.
Alec let out a shriek of agony, blood splattering across his face.
"Wait for the kingdom to be destroyed? I don't have the patience to sit around waiting for you." Roy stared down at Alec's painful wailing, the corner of his mouth curling into a mocking, icy smile.
"Today will be the day the Gambino family is destroyed."
Roy's cold voice echoed through the hall. Alec, who had been screaming in pain after the kick, suddenly fell silent.
He lifted his head stiffly to look at Roy, his face smeared with blood, then burst into manic laughter.
"The Gambino family will be destroyed? Hahaha! Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous! You, a prince of the Zephyr Kingdom, want to destroy the Gambino family? Hahaha! I'm telling you, you're courting disaster! The Zephyr Kingdom will fall because of your stupidity! You dared lay hands on me? The Gambino family's wrath is something you can't bear! Hahaha!"
Around them, the guards who were firmly controlled by the masked members were all stunned and bewildered, their eyes turning toward Roy as one.
The Gambino family was no ordinary force.
They were one of the three most infamous mafia powers in the West Blue, the uncrowned rulers of the underworld.
And what about the Zephyr Kingdom?
Facing only a thousand of their attackers, the kingdom had already been pushed to the edge of annihilation.
In such a situation, their prince was declaring he would destroy the Gambino family?
"I already told you. You're too noisy."
Roy frowned, sneering, and kicked Alec in the face again.
Alec immediately let out another agonized scream.
"Take him away too. Lock him up," Roy ordered the masked member holding Alec down.
"Yes, Roy-sama!"
The masked member didn't hesitate. He dragged Alec away as he continued to scream, and quickly disappeared from the reception hall.
