Chapter 933 - The Final Stage of the Voiding Realm (1/2)

Xiahou Hongxiang said, “I dare not. Your Highness, you are the Princess of the kingdom. All the money of the kingdom belongs to the Tortoise royal family. Why would you steal the Spirit Stones from the vault?”

Zhao Xingyue said, “Then why did you bring your men here?”

Xiahou Hongxiang said, “Mr. Qin was not around when the vault was broken into just now. I think he is the suspect, so I want to ask Mr. Qin for confirmation.”

The Little Witch cried, “Nonsense. My Little Brother has been with us all the time. How could he steal your dirty Spirit Stones?”

Zhao Xingyue also said with a gloomy face, “General Xiahou, Mr. Qin is my friend. It’s impossible for him to steal your Spirit Stones.”

For other matters, Xiahou Hongxiang could give in. However, this was related to the millions of Spirit Stones in the vault, so he naturally would not budge.

He said, “Your Highness, when the vault was broken into, Mr. Qin’s whereabouts were unknown. Thus, I think your friend should be frisked so as to clear him of any suspicion.”

After hearing what he said, Zhao Xingyue also thought in her heart. Qin Haodong was indeed not in the yard at that time. Did he really go to the vault of Golden Horse City?

However, the more it was like this, the more determined she was to protect Qin Haodong. Not to mention the vault of Golden Horse City, even if the entire contents of the vault of the Tortoise Kingdom were stolen, she would still stand on Qin Haodong’s side.

“General Xiahou, it is due to your dereliction of duty that the Spirit Stones went missing in the vault. You should catch the thief as soon as possible, instead of coming here to slander my friend.

“As long as I am here today, no one is allowed to lay a finger on my Big Brother Qin.”

After that, she stood up directly and stood in front of Qin Haodong.

“That’s right. No one is allowed to slander Brother Qin…”

“Senior Brother must have been wronged…”

The other girls also gathered around and protected Qin Haodong, who stood in the middle. They looked at Xiahou Hongxiang aggressively, as if they were going to take action at any moment.

Like Zhao Xingyue, they also thought that it was very likely that Qin Haodong had stolen the Spirit Stones in the vault. However, the more it was like this, the more they had to protect him.

Seeing the reactions of these girls, Xiahou Hongxiang became more certain about his speculation. A fierce light flashed in his eyes.

“Your Highness, if you insist on protecting him, don’t blame me for offending you.”

Zhao Xingyue snapped, “How dare you! You want to attack me?”

“Your Highness, I wouldn’t dare disrespect you. However, this is related to the kingdom’s property. I must fulfill my duties. Otherwise, I will be unable to explain to the King.”

Xiahou Hongxiang spoke righteously and put on a show of being loyal to the kingdom. He then waved at Jiang Bin behind him. “Frisk him.”

…

“Yes!” Jiang Bin replied and immediately ordered his subordinates to surround Zhao Xingyue and the rest.

Tu Jiaojiao, Murong Jinghong, and the others unsheathed their swords. A huge battle was about to break out between the two sides.

“Please calm down, everyone.”

Qin Haodong stepped forward and walked over to Zhao Xingyue’s side. “Your Highness, a straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe. Since General Xiahou wants to frisk me, let him do it.”

“This…” Zhao Xingyue hesitated for a moment before saying, “I will never allow anyone to slander my friend in any case.”

As she spoke, she looked at Qin Haodong in confusion. Her eyes were full of questions.

It meant that if Qin Haodong really stole the Spirit Stones from the vault, she couldn’t let the people frisk him anyway.

“Don’t worry, Your Highness. What’s missing from the vault has nothing to do with me.” Qin Haodong said as he looked at Xiahou Hongxiang and Jiang Bin, “You two actually suspect that I stole the Spirit Stones from the vault. You can frisk me if you want but you have to pay something for doing that”

Xiahou Hongxiang said, “What do you want?”

Qin Haodong said lightly, “If I don’t let the two of you frisk me, you will suspect that I’ve stolen the Spirit Stones of the vault. If I let you frisk me like this, I’m a little unwilling. How about making a bet?”

“What do you want to bet on, Mr. Qin?” Xiahou Hongxiang asked.

Qin Haodong said, “If you find the Spirit Stones you are looking for on me, I will immediately plead guilty. My life is yours. You can kill me or torture me as you like.

“If you can’t find them, take out 20,000 top-level Spirit Stones as compensation for ruining my reputation. What do you think, General Xiahou?”

“This…”

Seeing Qin Haodong’s confident look, Xiahou Hongxiang hesitated for a moment. “Did this boy really not steal the Spirit Stones in the vault?”

Jiang Bin went forward and said in a low voice, “General Xiahou, this boy is just bluffing. He’s just trying to fool us. I am 100% certain that he stole the Spirit Stones in the vault.”

Xiahou Hongxiang gritted his teeth. He didn’t want to confront Zhao Xingyue unless he had no other choice. Finally, he said, “Since Mr. Qin wants to make a bet, I’ll bet with you.”

Qin Haodong said, “Well, General Xiahou, please take out 20,000 top-level Spirit Stones first and give them to the Princess who will be the notary of the bet.”

“Sure!”

After saying that, Xiahou Hongxiang took out 20,000 top-level Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring and handed them to Zhao Xingyue.

“Your Highness, this is a fair agreement between me and Mr. Qin. If we really find something later, please don’t make things difficult for me.”

Zhao Xingyue glanced at Qin Haodong. Seeing that he nodded to her, she then said, “Well, I’ll do it fairly.”

Xiahou Hongxiang turned to Qin Haodong and said, “Mr. Qin, it’s your turn.”
