Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls - Chapter 648 - 326: Parliamentary Notarization, Sudden Mutation (Part 2)

Sure enough, he saw Kong Huaao, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, standing on one side of the hall, together with Zhao Chenlin, smiling and talking to him.

“Mr. Kong!”

Fang Yu’s heart was filled with joy, and he looked Kong Huaao up and down.

Compared to when he first arrived in Lanyun Sea Country, Kong Huaao’s figure was slightly thinner, unlike his previous tall and upright form.

During his imprisonment, his aura also weakened a bit, not as strong and fierce as before.

Only his eyes were still bright and clear, full of sharpness.

Seeing the sharpness in Kong Huaao’s eyes that hadn’t diminished, Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, despite nearly two months of imprisonment, Kong Huaao’s mental core hadn’t changed.

The temporary weakening of his aura and lack of energy weren’t really major issues.

As long as the sharpness remained in his heart, he could recover at any time.

Fang Yu quickly stepped forward, standing beside Kong Huaao, both of them internally excited, with many things they wanted to discuss.

However, the current setting wasn’t suitable for reminiscing, and Fang Yu’s gaze quickly shifted from Kong Huaao to Zhao Chenlin.

Behind Zhao Chenlin stood several men with powerful auras, wearing the uniforms of the Ocean Court.

When they saw Fang Yu’s gaze sweep over them, they nodded and smiled at Fang Yu, showing goodwill.

Fang Yu was slightly surprised and quickly returned the gesture.

Among the Ocean Court members standing behind Zhao Chenlin, there were unexpectedly high-level judges.

It was previously mentioned that in the Ocean Court, there are two different functional positions.

One is the Law Enforcer, responsible for handling all external matters.

The other is the Judge, a level above the Law Enforcer, where only more powerful and experienced individuals can serve as judges.

At the judge level, the minimum is Dragon Ship Level, and higher, it is immeasurable.

The legendary Chief Judges are all peak captains, and the Chief Judge led the Ocean Court, creating a pinnacle figure of the Sea Ship Era.

At this moment, Zhao Chenlin had summoned judges of such levels, making Fang Yu’s heart steady.

He observed these high-level judges silently, sensing from the two leading figures auras beyond Dragon Ship Level, which shocked him internally.

Nevertheless, these judges calmly stood behind Zhao Chenlin, not exhibiting any authority, making Fang Yu nod slightly.

The reason for Ocean Court’s hierarchical division is merely for convenience in handling matters.

If different levels of people are involved in a matter, they will try to follow the leader responsible for the matter rather than imposing authority.

So although Zhao Chenlin didn’t have a higher position than those behind him, he was the person in charge of the matter, and the judges behind him were listening to Zhao Chenlin’s instructions.

Seeing this, Fang Yu relaxed slightly and, without saying a word, directly pulled Qian Luan and Chen Xiaolin towards the Ocean Court’s team.

“Alright, Sovereign, now that Fang Yu is here, let’s begin!”

At this moment, Zhao Chenlin glanced at Fang Yu, then nodded and stepped forward, speaking to the Sovereign: “Today, we are here to fulfill the seven-day agreement between Fang Yu and the Sovereign.”

“Under the notarization of the Ocean Court, we are here to judge whether Fang Yu and Kong Huaao possess collusion behavior, and whether Kong Huaao led the events behind the Sin Domain incident.”

In the hall, Zhao Chenlin spoke loudly.

Towards Sovereign Lanyun, everyone in the hall showed a sense of reverence.

But Zhao Chenlin had no regard for class distinctions, representing the Ocean Court that in this era could stand equal to anyone without needing to revere peak captains.

After speaking, Zhao Chenlin didn’t wait for Sovereign Lanyun to speak and turned to Qian Luan:

“Qian Luan, step forward and tell everyone how you were bewitched to impersonate Hua Yu to deceive and acquire the Sin Domain’s transit documents!”

“Yes!”

Qian Luan’s spirit lifted and he was about to step forward.

Even Fang Yu showed a smiling expression.

But at that moment, a cold and authoritative voice echoed in the hall.

“No need.”

“Hmm?”

Everyone was taken aback and instinctively looked at the Sovereign.

The cold and authoritative voice came from Sovereign Lanyun.

At this moment, under the puzzled gazes of everyone, the Sovereign’s eyes turned towards Fang Yu’s side, with peculiar sharpness flashing in his eyes.

After a long pause, the Sovereign laughed, and spoke softly: “Fang Yu and Kong Huaao designed to release individuals from the Sin Domain, colluding with mages of the Sin Domain to come to my Lanyun Sea Country’s territory to wreak havoc, kill, and pillage.”

“This matter is settled, and you think you can bring in someone unconnected to dismiss it?”

“What?!”

Upon hearing Sovereign Lanyun’s words, everyone present was shocked, staring at him in disbelief and anger.

At this time, witnesses had already been brought to the hall, and the Ocean Court judges were also present.

How could the Sovereign say such words? Does he intend to ignore the judges’ ruling?

At this moment, the Sovereign’s lips curled into a smile and he spoke quietly: “Bring up the mages.”

“Hmm?”

Everyone was again puzzled.

The next moment, the door was pushed open again, and figures in traditional mage robes strode in from outside, bowing to the Sovereign:

“Sovereign!”

Seeing these figures and sensing the aura emanating from them, everyone was shocked.

The aura of these people was filled with thick magical energy; who else could they be but mages?

The Sovereign gave a soft hmm and then spoke calmly: “Thankfully, I found these mage witnesses, persuaded them emotionally and rationally, to testify for Lanyun Sea Country.”

“Now tell everyone how Kong Huaao approached you, persuaded you to cooperate with him in wreaking havoc in Lanyun Sea Country!”

Several mages bowed and smiled, ready to speak.

But at that moment, Zhao Chenlin sternly shouted: “How can criminals serve as self-certifying witnesses? They are not qualified to give notarized testimonies!”

“Oh?”

Sovereign Lanyun smiled faintly and looked at Zhao Chenlin and Fang Yu’s group, speaking coldly:

“I say they can, and so they can!”

Upon these words, Fang Yu and the others were shocked, feeling a bad premonition in their hearts.

“Are you going to ignore the Ocean Court’s ruling?”

At this moment, a judge from the Ocean Court stepped forward, frowned, and looked at Sovereign Lanyun.

“Ocean Court’s ruling?”

Sovereign Lanyun slowly closed his eyes, speaking softly: “I, as a sovereign of a nation, possess a rank and cultivation far higher than any of you; why should I heed your rulings?”

“Why should the will of Lanyun Sea Country shift according to your ideas?”

“Today, Fang Yu and Kong Huaao are guilty, and guilty they shall be!”

“They deserve to die here to pacify public outrage.”

“After their deaths, I will lead an attack on the Duorong Federation.”

“As for you all…”

The Sovereign’s gaze turned icy: “The Ocean Court is nothing but a patched force of various sea countries; do you really consider yourselves above others, daring to dictate in my presence?”

“Offend me, and you shall die here along with Fang Yu and his group.”

As the Sovereign’s words fell, the surroundings resounded with a boom.

The entire congressional palace was isolated within a peculiar space.

Soon, the Congress Guard army and sea ships descended from the void, encircling Fang Yu, Zhao Chenlin, and their group.

Auras of powerful presence connected and formed an intense pressure, pressing down on the crowd.

Not far away, figures clad in mage robes descended silently, elemental colors swirling in their hands, exuding dense killing intent as they looked at Fang Yu and the others.

Faintly, Fang Yu seemed to see a figure with two heads standing at the back of the army, watching the crowd with a sinister, cold gaze.

“Alright, start the action.”

“Leave Fang Yu and Kong Huaao with intact bodies, don’t make it too unsightly.”

“Afterwards, their bodies… will be paraded as a show.”

The Sovereign’s voice sounded in a low tone…
