The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 4823

Zack remembered that he was the emperor, and thus, he held in his anger. He flashed a fake smile and said, "Very well, very well. Seems that the lowly prisoners are still showing off like this. I'd like to see if they're half as brave at the executioner's blade."

As he spoke, Zack raised a hand. "All prisoners on death row shall be executed tomorrow afternoon."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

More than ten guards walked over and shoved Chester into the dungeon as the words rang through the air.

Zack stared at Jedidiah with a slanted glance, chuckling as he spoke, "Jedidiah is all to thank for tonight's successful takedown of Chester Wilson and Dax Sanders. I am a man of my word, and I shall heavily reward Jedidiah and all the men of the Sword Sect for this."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Jedidiah's expression was nothing but humble as he spoke. Then, a thought seemed to come to him, and he said, "If you have any other requests, don't hesitate to voice them out."

"Hoho!"

Zack smiled lightly. "Speak as you wish, Jedidiah! No need for such formalities."

Whew!

Jedidiah took a deep breath, unable to hide the resentment. "I wish to execute Dax and the rest by myself tomorrow…"

His oldest pupil had died at the blade of the Carters, and he vowed to take revenge. Despite not being able to do the deed himself, to execute them personally the next day would be the closest thing to rewarding them with the justice they deserved.

"I thought this was a great deal." Zack stopped short before smiling. "This all makes sense. It's allowed."

Jedidiah was overwhelmed with emotion by Zack's response. "Thank you, Your Highness."

Several figures clad in golden armor soared over from a distance as he spoke. Their faces were covered in masks, radiating authority.

Huh?

Everyone, including Zack and Jedidiah, frowned darkly.

"Who's that?"

"How dare they break into the palace dungeon?"

"Halt right there!"

What?

Everyone, including Zack, Jedidiah, and the surrounding royal guards, had the shock of their lives.

Those four were Heaven Watchers. No wonder they radiated such aura.

Just then, Zephyr, in his Heaven Watcher disguise, stared Zack down. "Your Highness! We heard you captured Chester Wilson and his fellow cultivators. Is that true?"

Zack hesitated slightly before nodding. "Well… Yes, that did happen."

Zephyr nodded in approval and spoke authoritatively, "Very well! Hand these men over. They're notorious criminals wanted by the Heaven Watchers. We need to bring them back for questioning."

Uh…

An unreadable expression passed across Zack's face as he fell into a dilemma.

He had put a great deal of effort into trying to capture Chester and his friends, and he had finally succeeded at the end of a struggle with extraordinary sacrifices. As a result, he was pretty reluctant about suddenly having to hand them over to the Heaven Watchers.
