Chapter 856 Persuading

After the portal opened, General Sean returned, and the first thing he did was hold a meeting.

He had been on the battlefield all year round, so he did not participate in many matters in the rear. All he wanted to know was how the imperial family was doing after returning.

He quickly walked toward the meeting room when his subordinates were all resting. Some of them had also found their families and left.

In the meeting room, Sean sat in a chair and asked a staff member to turn on the projector.

There were no outsiders in the meeting room except Sean. This was a top-secret meeting; the only people present were him and the royal family members.

Soon, the projector was turned on, and the meeting started.

All the royal family's core members were present in the meeting hall.

Sean looked at the familiar faces, and a smile appeared on his cold face.

"Everyone, report the situation in the Imperial Family to me and what happened during my absence."

Everyone looked at Isabel, hoping she would stand up and explain the situation.

"General Sean, the royal family's situation is as follows."

Elizabeth stood up and picked up a script.

"The Emperor passed, and the new Emperor will temporarily be Norton. As for the coronation ceremony, it is still under discussion."

Sean looked solemn. He was one of the people who followed the old Emperor in the previous war, so he had deep feelings for the old king.

However, since his death had passed, he could only accept reality.

"That's good, as I'm sure Norton has the ability to do so. I hope he can manage this country well."

He glanced around and could not help but ask curiously, "Why don't I see Elisabeth? Where is she? She's absent?"

Hearing this, everyone in the royal family got slightly awkward and embarrassed. They found it difficult to answer his question.

Three days had passed and Elizabeth was released, but Isabel was unwilling to let her stand in front of the camera.

After all, she had been locked in the dark room for three days, so it was no surprise that Elizabeth looked haggard.

"She... It's not convenient for her to come over for the time being."

"What's inconvenient about it? I'm her uncle. Isn't it only right for her to come and see me?"

Elizabeth was the child that he had watched grow up. Moreover, she was his favorite among the members of the royal family.

"It's just not convenient for her to see you for now."

Sean frowned when he heard that.

"Isabel, tell me the truth. What happened to Elizabeth? She couldn't possibly avoid meeting me, so there must be some reason. Had she met with an accident? Or is she in low spirits because of Walter?"

"No, you don't have to worry about that. Come back quickly. Everyone in the city is waiting for your return!"

Sean turned his head, not buying it.

"I want to know Elizabeth's current situation. If you don't tell me, I will stay in the outpost city!"

Hearing this, Isabel was speechless and didn't know what to say.

She did not dare to lie to Sean. After all, he would find out about it sooner or later.

Since that was the case, she could only tell him the truth.

"General Sean, the situation is that Walter is dead, and he died at the hands of an outsider."

"Elizabeth was bewitched by the outsider and killed Walter with her own hands. I asked her to hand over the murderer, but she failed to do so. Therefore, I locked her in the dark room for three days."

Upon hearing this, Sean was instantly furious. He slapped down and smashed the meeting table into pieces!

"You locked Elizabeth in the dark room? Do you know how dangerous that place is?"

Isabel was stunned. She had laid out the information to inform Sean that Elizabeth was punished for covering up for the murderer, but Sean ignored it!

"General Sean, I'm doing this according to the family rules. There's no problem with that judgment."

"Alright, I won't pursue this for now. Tell me, who killed Walter? Where is that person now?"

"That person's name is Lu Yu. He's very powerful. Not only did he kill Walter, but he also killed our Golden Griffin!"

Hearing this, General Sean became even angrier. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is that person now? I'll go find him now!"

"I'm not sure for now, but I'm sure he's in Lionheart City."

"Alright, wait for me. I'll return immediately!"

After he finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave.

The projector was turned off, and Isabel was relieved. She had finally diverted General Sean's attention.

At that moment, the door of the meeting room was opened. A person walked in and informed him, "General, someone from the Omar family wants to see you!"

"Omar Family? I don't know who that is, and I don't want to meet them."

"They are here on behalf of the Protector General. They mentioned they want to discuss some matters with you."

Upon hearing this, Sean stood where he was and thought for a moment before answering, "Let them in!"

The informant walked out after hearing that.

Stone, Hill, Lu Yu, and Han Xuefei walked in.

Seeing the four people before him, Sean narrowed his eyes and sized them up.

"Are you here on behalf of the Protector General? Say what you have to say quickly. Don't waste too much of my time."

He sat back down and spoke calmly.

Lu Yu looked at the situation in the meeting room, especially the smashed table, and knew Sean was angered by something just moments ago.

"What we are going to talk about is quite private, so I must ensure that no one else can hear our conversation."

Stone said as he pulled out a chair and sat down.

Sean looked at him and asked, "I don't have time to play with you. If you have something to say, say it quickly!"

"General Sean, you may not know, but the royal family changed long ago. The members of the royal family are plain wasteful and do nothing but squander their riches. They don't care about the righteousness of the country, nor do they care about the sufferings of the people."

Stone took out his phone and pulled out a few photos as he spoke.

"See this? It was a photo of Isabel. It's a photo of her enjoying herself in a high-end hotel in the Stellaris Autonomous Region a month ago. She went out to enjoy herself once a month using the national treasury!"

Sean's face hardened. "Is that what you want to say?"

"It's far from that. The royal family members consumed one-third of the national treasury's storage in the first half of the year, including all kinds of spirit herbs and equipment!"

"The number of people in poverty in Lionheart City has increased several times!"

"This is only Lionheart City. The people would have long been in dire straits if it were any other city. The people of the royal family have no sense of justice, and they only care about their interests!"

"After the Emperor's passing, no one could stop them. Norton has long been in cahoots with these people."

Hearing these words, Sean's face twisted, and his brows were tightly knitted.
