2024-12-25 12:20:07A few moments later, the group of officials arrived at the house closest to the gates of the Gold Throne.
Mathis then took out a stack of documents and walked toward the door of the luxurious house.
He turned to his subordinates.
“Prepare yourselves. After this, you will begin the investigation.”
Mathis’ subordinates nodded in unison.
“Understood, Sir.”
Once everything was ready, Mathis made a phone call to Oberon.
At the same time, Oberon was holding a video conference with governors from other states, exchanging experiences and stories.
In the middle of the conference, Oberon’s smartphone rang, displaying the name Mathis Huber.
Excited, Oberon quickly answered the call, “Mathis, how’s everything going now?”
Mathis responded.
“I’m currently in front of one of Rael’s properties. Ready to expose his true color.”
At that moment, something struck Oberon’s mind.
Why not take this opportunity to tarnish Rael’s reputation in front of the other governors?
A sly smile appeared on Oberon’s lips.
“Good. Don’t end the call just yet.”
“I want you to live-stream the raid so I can share that moment with the other governors.”
Mathis immediately understood Oberon’s intent and purpose.
And a broad smile appeared on his face.
Brilliant!
He nodded right away.
“Sure.”
Meanwhile, Oberon felt pleased.
He hoped that his plan would not only boost Mathis' reputation but also destroy Rael’s.
Killing two birds with one stone wasn’t hard for him, was it?
He couldn't help but feel a smug sense of satisfaction.
After the call ended, Mathis handed his smartphone to one of his subordinates and began the live-stream.
He then stepped in front of the camera to directly follow up on the investigation.
Meanwhile, in front of the governors, Oberon began to explain Rael’s background and the crimes he had committed.
“As someone who once knew Rael very well, I feel deceived.”
“After all this time trusting him, it turns out he repaid me and Noorhaven by buying luxurious properties for his own benefit and funding sex parties with state money.”
“Is such behavior really acceptable?”
“Worse than that, it’s not just the adult women in Rael’s harem. There are also underage girls, more than a hundred of them in total.”
“This is truly outrageous!”
The information that Oberon just shared immediately made the blood of the other governors boil.
“This is completely intolerable!”
“A criminal like Rael must not get away with this!”
“This man is truly insane, committing layered crimes!”
“He deserves to be castrated in the traditional way before being executed!”
The anger from the governors of the other states made Oberon feel pleased and satisfied.
After making sure the governors could see the live stream that Mathis was making, Oberon signaled to Mathis to begin his actions.
Excitedly, Mathis rubbed his hands together and eagerly began the investigation.
A sense of exhilaration filled his chest.
‘See? This is your time of destruction, Rael!’
Mathis Huber smiled inwardly.
Soon he’d receive all the praise and admiration from all the people of Noorhaven!
Mathis pressed the bell button beside the door.
“Ding Dong!”
Then Mathis stood in front of the camera near the doorbell.
“Good afternoon. I am Mathis Huber, a government investigator assigned to investigate this place.”
“Please come out immediately and cooperate during this investigation!”
Meanwhile, the officers behind Mathis stretched their necks to get a better look at Rael’s harem.
They were curious to see just how beautiful the women who were supposedly sleeping with Rael were.
“Do you think they’re really inside?”
“If so, I want to know what Rael’s taste is.”
“From what I know, Rael is engaged to the beautiful and sexy daughter of Governor Oberon Hanson.”
“Could it be that Miss Hanson isn’t satisfying Rael, so he built a harem to fulfill his desires?”
“Whatever the case, if he’s enjoying himself with taxpayer money, it’s still unacceptable!”
The large door with intricate dragon carvings creaked open, causing the hearts of everyone in front of the lavish building to race in anticipation.
Mathis clenched his fist tightly to control the surge of excitement in his chest.
Joel and Damarion began to be affected by the tension in the air.
They also nervously lifted their gazes toward the door that was slowly opening.
Quietly, Joel felt anxious for Rael and also confused.
Because Rael had seemed so calm earlier, even after Mathis accused him of bedding numerous women.
Joel asked, “Mr. Travis, do you have any answers to these accusations?”
Unfortunately, Damarion immediately shook his head.
“I don’t know.”
Joel couldn't help but wipe away the non-existent sweat on his forehead.
He couldn’t understand what had made Rael so calm this morning, despite facing such serious accusations.
In his heart, Joel hoped to soon discover the truth.
‘Lord Vinsion, I hope you are proved innocent.’
As everyone’s gaze was fixed on the door, it finally swung wide open.

A woman emerged from the door, causing every eye to widen in shock.The crowd began pushing and shoving one another just to catch a glimpse of the women who were rumored to have shared Rael’s bed.Mathis was stunned, almost unable to believe what he saw.“Is she really Rael's woman?”It wasn’t a young and beautiful woman. Instead, the figure stepping through the door was a middle-aged woman with a large frame and strands of gray hair visible among her locks.Whispers broke out among the crowd as the woman’s appearance shattered their fantasies of the young, seductive women who supposedly filled “Rael’s harem.”“Did we raid the wrong place?”“Why is it a middle-aged woman?”“Am I the only one who thinks this harem is incredibly strange?”“You’re right. Usually, young and wealthy men prefer women who are young, beautiful, and sexy.”Although Mathis found his discovery strange and shocking, he quickly entertained another possibility.A disgusted smirk crept onto Mathis’s lips.“Well, it

Mathis smiled with satisfaction, feeling his victory was drawing closer.Arrogantly, he gave his order.“Gather everyone on that list in front of me now!”Mathis’s subordinates immediately nodded and carried out his command.Mathis turned to the officials. “In just a moment, we will undoubtedly uncover the truth.”In his heart, he grew even more excited because not only were Noorhaven officials witnessing the raid, but also the governors from other states within the United States of Nooria.Meanwhile, during the live broadcast, Oberon and the governors from other states began speculating.“I think Rael deliberately let that middle-aged woman live in the house closest to the gate to prevent people from suspecting his affair.”“That’s very likely. Does he think we’re so foolish and easily deceived by his little tricks?”“It would be outright stupid if he blatantly showed off the beautiful women in his harem.”“You’re right. If he did that, his affair would be exposed quickly!”“That mak

The women’s blood boiled immediately.A young woman, around 25 years old, shouted.“Stop your nonsense! Lord Vinsion would never commit corruption, bribery, or any other crimes!”Mathis smirked and looked at them condescendingly.“Why wouldn’t he? Do you think Rael is a prophet?”“Then, if Rael didn’t commit those crimes, where did he get so much money to buy dozens of properties here and support all of you living here?”“Are my simple words really that hard for you to comprehend?”A woman carrying a baby also spoke up.“Shut your mouth! We are not Lord Vinsion’s mistresses!”“We are clean and have never been involved in anything dirty with Lord Vinsion like what you’re accusing us of!”Mathis chuckled lightly.“Oh, really?”He clearly didn’t believe the woman’s claim.“If not, then are all these properties Rael gave you merely acts of charity?”“Also, why does Rael always visit you during holidays? Surely it’s not just because he misses your faces.”“Or is it your... services that he

After observing carefully, they noticed that the badge bore a photograph of a person in formal uniform at its center, accompanied by a line of text at the bottom.The middle-aged woman who had first stepped out of the door spoke with a sorrowful expression.“This is my husband, Shaun Rowe.”“He died during a covert mission to eradicate the organ trafficking mafia in Caldorwyn.”“When he perished on that mission, his body was beyond recognition.”The woman let out a heavy sigh and wiped the clear liquid pooling in the corner of her eyes.“This badge was issued by the President of the United States of Nooria as a mark of respect for my husband, in accordance with federal constitutional protocol.”Although her voice was soft, it struck the ears of the officials like a deafening blow.A young woman in her twenties stepped forward with tears streaming down her cheeks.“This is my husband, Darian Whitley.”She held up a badge bearing the photo of a blonde man who appeared to be no older tha

After learning the truth, Mathis found his tongue tied, and his throat went dry. He even stumbled backward, as this fact had never crossed his mind.“This—This can’t be…”Meanwhile, the tension that had previously gripped Damarion's body slowly melted away, and a smile appeared on his lips.“I knew it, Lord Vinsion is truly extraordinary.”At the same time, Joel, standing next to Damarion, understood why Rael had seemed so calm despite being so cruelly accused by Mathis."Lord Vinsion, you truly have the heart of an angel!"After a long silence, the officials began to voice their thoughts again."How shameful of us to accuse the families of the heroes as members of Rael's harem!""You're right. I feel truly ashamed and want to find a hole to hide in.""I never expected Lord Vinsion to be so noble-hearted and caring toward the families of Noorhaven's heroes.""Exactly! Yet no media has ever exposed his kindness!""We really must be more careful in our actions moving forward.""Lord Vin

With his right hand placed over his chest, Mathis declared, “Trust me, I only wish for the best for Noorhaven.”“I swear upon the name of the earth and the sky, Rael is not a good man.”“If I am lying, let disaster befall me.”It was undeniable that Mathis’s sincerity had shaken the conviction of some of the governors.“It seems he’s not lying.”“How could that be? Isn’t the evidence we’ve seen clear enough?”“An oath sworn upon the earth and the sky is not to be taken lightly. I believe he’s serious this time.”Not wasting the opportunity, Oberon add his voice.“I completely agree with Mathis.”“To prove these women and children are innocent, that place must be searched!”In the end, the search could no longer be avoided.Mathis gave the order with firm resolve.“Search this place immediately!”"Don't miss a single thing!"Without delay, Mathis’s men entered the luxurious properties.At that moment, Joel clenched both fists tightly in anger.He shouted, “Stop!”Instantly, Mathis’s me
Hail Lord Vinsion! Chapter 20
Meanwhile, in front of his laptop screen, Oberon let out a heavy sigh.In his heart, he knew the idea he had suggested wasn’t the best and didn’t dare meet Mathis’s eyes on the screen.He tried to comfort himself inwardly.‘This will work.’‘I’m sure Rael is hiding something.’‘And I’m confident Mathis will be able to uncover it.’‘Once that happens, the situation will improve.’Although Oberon wasn’t entirely sure, his current position was too cornered, and he had no choice but to propose the idea.The Noorhaven officials and governors were closely monitoring the raid on Rael’s property. Therefore, Oberon could only offer advice from behind his laptop screen, hoping to restore their confidence in Mathis.Cold sweat started to drench Mathis’s body. He wiped the sweat off his face with a tissue.Even though Mathis was skeptical deep down, he trusted that his future father-in-law wouldn’t intentionally harm him.Finally, with great reluctance, Mathis declared, “Fine, I agree with Govern
Hail Lord Vinsion! Chapter 21
The chorus of sobs felt like sharp knives slicing through Mathis and Oberon’s skin. Both men shuddered with fear.The governors of other states who witnessed the scene were also gripped by unease.One white-haired governor glared at Oberon and Mathis.“You’ve made a colossal mistake!”The other governors joined in, voicing their outrage.“If you’re incompetent, then step aside instead of making things worse!”!”“How could you recklessly raid their homes and interrogate the families of fallen heroes without proper investigation?”“This is negligence and an irresponsible abuse of power!”“Unbelievable! We trusted you, and you deceived us with baseless claims!”“This is utterly disgraceful!”The governors’ collective anger pushed Oberon into a corner. He didn’t dare utter a word in his defense.They stared at him with palpable dissatisfaction.“Can you explain this mess?”“If you can’t, don’t blame us when this reaches the federal government in the capital.”“This isn’t just about apolog

On the designated day and time, as planned, Leith arranged for the arrival of the foreign individuals in Nymbrial County to discuss his illegal business.However, they remained cautious, arriving without bringing any illegal goods, unlike their usual practice.Furthermore, Leith deliberately spread rumors about the foreigners’ arrival to gauge Rael’s reaction.Leith gave orders to his men, “Watch and observe! Make sure you report to me if you see any movement from Lord Vinsion’s subordinates. If there are any.”They all nodded in unison. “Understood.”Not long after, news of the illegal immigrants’ entry quickly spread because many officials who had previously worked under Rael had either resigned or been dismissed. As a result, Nymbrial County was understaffed to handle urgent matters like this.The news soon reached Oberon and Mathis.Oberon’s eyebrows furrowed deeply. “Illegal immigrant? How is that even possible?”Mathis’s expression also showed concern.After all, during the four

The wave of strikes and mass resignations by state officials in Noorhaven had truly shaken Oberon and Mathis.Mathis muttered, "Why is it that after I took over this state, I have to face such chaos?""Regardless, this turmoil must not drag on, or it will disrupt regional stability and development."More than that, Oberon was even angrier, almost tempted to flip the table in front of him. He completely lost his appetite. Clenching his teeth in frustration, his fury boiled over.The officials' demands to release Rael and their threats of a work strike had truly pushed Oberon's patience to its limit."Fine. If they want to strike or even resign!""I don't care!""In fact, this is an excellent opportunity for Noorhaven to get rid of Rael's loyalists and replace them with new officials who are more open-minded and willing to cooperate with me!""The notion that Noorhaven cannot function properly without Rael is utterly ridiculous!"As Oberon envisioned replacing the officials with talente
Chapter 34
Oberon’s idea sounded excellent to Mathis. In that moment, Mathis regained his determination to confront Rael and secure his position in Noorhaven.“That’s brilliant, Mr. Hanson!”Spontaneously, Mathis clapped his hands in delight, praising the clever plan of his future father-in-law. The smile on Mathis’ face reflected his newfound optimism, as if he could hit Rael away like a fly.Oberon nodded.“For now, I’ve already sent my men to investigate the officials who have complaints about Rael.”“To regain your energy, I think you should rest early.”Mathis nodded in agreement.“Sure.”He then retreated to his bedroom.After a long and exhausting day, Mathis felt he needed time to recharge and prepare himself for the challenges of tomorrow.Even so, as he lay on his bed, Mathis couldn’t stop thinking about Rael.“That bastard…”“At least you’re rotting in the dungeon, living a miserable life!”Mathis tried to comfort himself, and the thought of Rael being imprisoned lifted his spirits.Ho

After thinking for quite a while, Oberon finally had an idea.“Mr. Huber, I have an idea!”Lucan stared sharply at Oberon.“Speak!”Oberon quickly explained, “To divert the officials’ attention from the misunderstanding at Rael’s warehouses, we need to create news that will ruin Rael’s reputation!”“I’ll make the public aware that Rael often uses his dark powers to oppress capable officials and prevent them from getting promotions.”“Meanwhile, he allows incompetent officials to retain their positions!”According to Oberon, Rael had always been known for his good reputation because he had done many good deeds. Therefore, exposing Rael’s true face to the public was the right step to destroy their trust in him.Additionally, this diversion would also make the public aware that Rael had been hindering the country’s growth.Oberon’s previously pale face started to shine with optimism.“One more thing. The public must also know that Rael is collaborating with the Lord of the Scorpion at th

The sharp words from the official on the other end of the line slowly erased the smile from Lucan’s face.Shaking his head in frustration, Lucan retorted, “Are you so envious of Mathis’s accomplishments at such a young age that you resort to making false accusations against him?”In short, Lucan trusted Mathis more than the official on the phone.“You shouldn’t believe everything on TV just because it’s aired there!”The official sneered, “You shouldn’t blindly trust Mathis either!”“I understand he’s your son. But does a father simply stand by when his son does something wrong?”“Let me make one thing clear to you, Mr. Huber. I’m not saying this out of jealousy, as you’ve accused!”“But because the state of Noorhaven has already sent evidence to the capital!”“Every official in the capital now knows about the fraudulent actions of your son!”Without waiting for Lucan’s response, the official ended the call abruptly.The harsh manner of the official left Lucan stunned, speechless for

The reporter's question couldn't help but draw the attention of the officials and bank staff present at the scene. They all looked at the reporter with disgusted expressions.At that moment, the reporter's body felt an inexplicable chill.Hurriedly, the reporter said, “Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I am Aiden Russell, a reporter from Nooria News Channel.”With a professional smile, Aiden asked again, “So, is it true that Rael Vinsion is involved in a massive embezzlement case?”The bank staff did not immediately answer the reporter's question. Instead, he simply handed over an envelope that was in his hand to the reporter. Aiden took the envelope with a confused expression.“Are you trying to bribe me so I won’t report this case?”The bank staff's face turned sour, and he replied, “Just open the envelope. You’ll find out what’s really going on here.”Although hesitant, Aiden finally opened the envelope in his hand. The reporter's eyes narrowed when he saw that the envelope

A few seconds later, a video file appeared in Lucan’s chat application. He immediately pressed play, revealing footage of a building filled with towering stacks of cardboard boxes.In the video, Mathis spoke briefly, in a manner that made anyone watching believe the boxes were filled with an enormous amount of cash.“Good job, Son!”Lucan smiled broadly after hearing Mathis’s explanation in the video.Without wasting time, Lucan forwarded the video to his senior official colleagues in the nation’s capital after watching it.“After this, I’m sure those arrogant officials won’t dare question Mathis’s competency or his eligibility to lead the state of Noorhaven!”“They’re all just foolish old men who talk too much and act too little!”Not long after, senior officials of the United States of Nooria were abuzz with the video showing the mysterious stacks of boxes in a warehouse. Thanks to Mathis’s convincing narrative in the video, these officials quickly believed the boxes contained embez
Chapter 29
At the same time, the officials began whispering among themselves again. However, their whispers were loud enough for Mathis to hear.“Did you see this? The investigators said all of Lord Vinsion’s transactions are clean!”“Yeah, not only was he proven innocent, but he has also done many noble deeds.”“Anyone who thought Lord Vinsion committed such petty crimes must be a fool.”“Imprisoning Lord Vinsion is utterly absurd!”As time passed, the whispers grew uncontrollable and turned into wild chatter.“I think someone deliberately imprisoned Lord Vinsion.”“Sounds plausible. Someone as accomplished as Lord Vinsion often attracts the envy of vile-hearted people.”“Honestly, I can’t help but suspect Governor Oberon and Mathis Huber.”“Yes, their actions are quite suspicious and seem to have hidden motives.”“If that’s true, it means we’re all in grave danger. It’s entirely possible that one day we could become their targets too.”“My goodness, this is so serious and terrifying.”The offi

The enthusiasm of the officials toward Rael had drained all color from Mathis’s face.“This is impossible.”Frustration drove Mathis to unconsciously step backward until he accidentally bumped into a large cardboard box, causing him to fall flat on his back.“Thud!”The box spilled its contents, and envelopes scattered all over Mathis’s body.One of the envelopes on top of Mathis’s body opened, revealing a photograph. The photo showed a thin, frail child who looked sickly and an adult man smiling warmly as he extended his hand toward the boy.Alongside the photo, there was a slanted handwritten note that read:“Thank you, Lord Vinsion, for your help. I have regained hope for recovering from cancer—”Mathis stared blankly at the photo, as if struck by lightning.Before he could finish reading the words on the photo, he hastily threw it away, as though it were a poisonous object.It turned out that even though there was no money or gold stored in that warehouse, the hope Rael had given
