The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Novel

Angus stared at Alex with an awful expression.

Alex could feel that Angus wanted to tear him apart.

“You are quite good at joking King of Nevan.”

“I have built Amidon with my own hands and achieved everything using my strength.”

Alex looked at the man boasting shamelessly.

“You are telling me that you have experimented with people and raised their ranks. Use forbidden techniques to burn life force to raise the strength and use Tier 6 magic runes to enact barriers to stop attacks. You did all these things by yourself.”

“Are you taking me as a fool? You are nothing but a parasite who has got here by the leaching of others.”Alex spoke in a mocking tone.

Angus didn’t know how to refute Alex. He was taken by surprise at hearing Alex’s words and wondered how Alex knew about the experiments and grades of the magic runes.

He was sure that either someone had leaked some information or betrayed him.

“Now, I understand how you were able to defeat me and take us down.”

“Someone might have already defected to your side.”

‘Huh! What kind of bullshit is this man spouting now?’

“Yeah, so what? Why don’t you show your big heart and give him some information?”

“Do you think that person will save you after knowing your situation? Rather than suffering yourself, shouldn’t you also pull him down into the mud?”Alex smirked.

Angus’s eyes widened on hearing Alex’s proposal. It wasn’t wrong to say that he doesn’t resent the man who started this.

He decided to act as a pawn so that he could gain something out of this war but since he was going down, why should he be the only one to suffer the loss and die alone?

He should try to drag the other party if possible but he had signed a binding contract so he can’t disclose the name.

Alex noticed the minute change in the facial expression on Angus’s face._.

Angus had killed his brothers and his father to ascend to the throne. He hadn’t taken a queen or concubine and was just a free spirit individual.

Many women had died with whom he had spent the night. In a way, he had no relationship which Alex can use to threaten him and there were no cards Alex can use to break him down.

Torturing him would be proved useless and may just lead to his premature death giving Alex a huge headache.

The Politics of the Empire was quite messy. Who knows a noble may be behind it and try every means to take him down.

And there would be no lesser number of wolves who may be eyeing his wives.

Riya had already warned that many may look for trouble to get their hands on his wives. So, there may be a chance of such a person playing a trick as Angus wanted to use Catherine as a bargaining chip.

To get something out of Angus, the only thing Alex can do now was to add fuel to his ego and arrogance which wouldn’t allow him to die down easily.

“Hahahahahahahha!”

After pondering for a moment Angus burst into laughter.

“I like your proposal. You surely know how to use human nature and desires.”

“Just a simple mince of words and you made me tempted to bear fangs against the other.”

“Your strength has impressed me so I will just add a small hint.”

“There is no kingdom involved in this. I mean to say, no Kingdom instigated this war. It was a person with a vast influence, there was also a group involved in it. I don’t know whether that person has any ties with the group.”

“That person seemed to have some animosity against you though he didn’t kill you but rather asked me to take care of you.”

“What group or who is the person?”Alex asked curiously.

“That is for you to find out.”

“And what about Catherine? I heard you were going to sell her.”

“That person just asked me to trap any of your wives. I trapped Catherine because I could use this opportunity to my advantage.”

“Who knows that person may be attracted to her beauty. If not for his warning I may have pounced on Catherine myself.”

Alex’s eyes become bloodshot on hearing his words but he tried to calm down as he knew this guy was provoking him.

Alex gritted his teeth in anger after thinking about that person. He was sure that Angus was toying with him.

‘First of all, about the clue of a person, isn’t the world filled with people? Does he want me to search for every person?’

‘What kind of idiotic hint is that?’Alex muttered inwardly and tried to calm himself and think carefully.

Either Angus was trying to mess with him or there was a way to use the hint.

“Before that tell me about the experiment that helps you to produce Epic rank. Was it that group?”

“No, it wasn’t that group. It was someone else.” Angus answered.

Alex’s eyes glowed with viciousness when he heard this. He already had a hint about it.

‘Bright!’

‘That asshole might also be a part of this. But that man might have already started the cleanup after knowing the fall of Amidon.’

‘I should look for a chance and pay Bright a visit.’

But more than that Alex was more worried about the person who was pulling the string. 

Angus’s hint was quite vague and absurd.

If it was some sort of group, Alex was sure he couldn’t find out about the group cause there are hundreds of secret groups in the shadows.

But if it was about a person, Alex could make a few guesses about it.

There are chances that the man might be from Royal and there are even some chances of the Prince being part of this scheme.

Was there a chance that it was the Third Prince who wanted to snatch Riya?

Alex shook his head denying that possibility. He shouldn’t be too hasty. Aiming swords without any solid evidence was only asking for more trouble.

“By the way, Prime Minister of Yours. What was his name?”

“Yeah, Lamar! Did that bastard know about all your criminal records and about your shady business?”

“He is already on the run even before the fall of Amidon,” Alex uttered.

“What!!” Angus screamed which frightened Alex.

Angus’s expression suddenly changed and seeing Angus’s face became green with anger even he was confused greatly.

The rottenness and resentment on his face were really out of expectations for him.

“That cheeky bastard must have betrayed me.”

“He is a piece of scum and an asshole. He must have taken the opportunity to escape when I was busy.”

“I always had a hint that he was a troublesome one. But he was so perfect in his job that I couldn’t doubt him.”

“He knew some of the plans and who knows how many backhands he might have.” Angus cursed with all his might.

Angus was fuming with anger to the point that his breathing became restless.

“So the summary is that even you don’t know about it. In a way, that man escaped right under his nose.” Alex chuckled seeing Angus’s expression.

Alex didn’t know whether Angus was acting or in reality, he was betrayed by that cheeky Lamar.

But if it was all an act then this man deserves an Oscar award for his brilliant acting and if it is false then Alex was sure about one thing.

He had stepped on the quest of chain villains that were waiting for him slowly to come for them.

“One villain leads to another. Traps after traps” Alex spoke with a dejected expression and stood up from his seat.

Alex patted the warden and said “Hey, take good care of him and give him some good food. If something happens to him, the empire will whip my ass.”

“No matter what, take good care of him and also wrap all his body with anti-mana chains.”

‘After all, you are not going to have a simple death. There is no way you can die easily just like this after trying to kidnap my wife and destroy Christina’s face.’

‘I will make sure you repent until the last moment of your death.’

…….

After having a nice and pleasant talk with Angus which had pissed him to some extent, Alex arrived at the place where the nobles were kept after coughing out all their deeds.

“Take them to the cell for now. I will judge them after seeing what all crimes committed.”

Seeing them leaving obediently, Alex muttered”Ben, if you find any of them committing slavery or having a part in it or if they have committed any heinous crime.”

“Just get rid of them.”

Been nodded.

“What about the other ones?” Ben asked.

“Let’s take a look at the person who was able to survive.”

The soldiers guarding the room opened the door.

As soon as Alex stepped inside it, the putrid smell of flesh and blood assaulted his nostrils.

The entire room had been dyed with blood. The corpses were lying here and there.

Some of them weren’t even in one piece and some of them had been completely disfigured beyond recognition.

Alex looked to the side to see the man filled with wounds resting in the corner.

His body had been drenched in blood as if he came out of a pool of blood.

“I have done what you asked. Now, please give me my freedom. I want to live.”The man spoke in a trembling voice.

“Ben, what is his name?”

“He is Count Helis.”

“Count Helix, what a tremendous will to live you have, “Alex spoke while walking toward him.

“You are scum and a disgusting person who killed your colleague.”

“I don’t hate you, rather I have a soft spot for a dirty bastard like you. After all, you are the people who help us to keep our hands clean.”

Count Helix frowned after seeing Alex’s sinister smile and trembled in fear.

He flinched back and started to crawl towards the corner.

In his eyes, Alex looked like a demon who wanted to kill him cruelly.

“Majesty, you can’t break your promise. You can’t kill me.”

“You promised to grant freedom to the person who can kill the other, “Helix shouted.

His cries echoed throughout the room giving goosebumps even to the soldiers guarding the entrance.

“I am not killing you, rather I am rewarding you with a gift.”

“The slave mark.”

“From now on your soul will be mine.”Alex bit his finger and drew a magic circle in the man’s head with his blood.

Ben shook his head seeing Alex’s cruel means and spoke softly”All Hail To The Bandit King.”
