The Medallion novel Chapter 1049

Hearing this, Elvis' eyebrows twitched slightly. Everyone could tell that Jason meant something else. He deliberately gave Elvis a head-on blow, to send the message that it wouldn't be so easy to deceive him.

Just then, multitudes of people swarmed in and bowed respectfully to Jason. Then, they showered Jason with gifts. This might've been Elvis' birthday party, but it was as though Jason was the true celebrant, which made him look a presumptuous guest usurping the host's role.

However, if that was all there was to it, then it didn't matter. As more and more people gathered in the Celestial Hall, Jason began to show his true colors.

"Chief Elvis, your birthday party is so lively! So many famous clan chiefs, elders, and other famous people have come to celebrate. I am so jealous of you!" Jason smiled evilly.

"You don't have to be. All of these people are just here for some fun, at my expense!" Elvis said with a fake smile, but he already knew why Jason was here.

"Are you sure about that?" Jason narrowed his eyes, looking around at the people present. "As far as I know, a few of them were discontented with the acting emperor not long ago. I heard that they even joined forces to report the acting emperor's misconduct to the royal family's Emergency Chamber. That must mean, the elders in the Emergency Chamber have often talked to the acting emperor!"

Upon overhearing this, the expression on the faces of several chiefs and elders of medium and small clans changed immediately.

"I don't know about that..." Elvis frowned, pretending not to know anything about it.

"Really? That's good. If you did know about it, I wouldn't know how to deal with you. After all, the Ji Clan are relatives of the acting emperor. He sent me here just to take the empress back to the Palace City, not to make any trouble. And I don't plan on upsetting anyone. Chief Elvis, I think you know what you should do!" Jason raised his hand as he went straight to the point.

"Sybil has been weak and sick since she was a child. In the past six months, she has been in poor health, and the acting emperor is aware of this. When she gets better, I will personally see to it that she is sent back to the Palace City," Elvis said, quickly scrounging up an excuse.

"You don't have to send her back in person. Besides, I came here specifically to do that. Do you want me to return empty-handed? Moreover, she needs to go back to the Palace City to recuperate. The acting emperor has ordered people to collect a lot of precious elixirs, which have been specially prepared for her recovery. So, you don't have to worry. Or do you think that she will be mistreated after returning to the Palace City?" Jason narrowed his eyes at him accusingly.

"No. If Sybil knows what the acting emperor has done for her, she will be very pleased. But it's true that she is too ill to go on a long trip now," Elvis said, feigning a regretful expression. He continued to make excuses.

"It seems that you are reluctant to let her go back. But the acting emperor said that if I can't bring her back, I can't go back either. I will have to stay in the Ji Mansion to serve her. Try to understand, I have a dilemma. To explain to the acting emperor, I would have to bring back some people that he cares about. For example, the elders who joined hands to report the acting emperor to the Emergency Chamber." Jason ended with a flourish. Then, he waved his hand immediately.
