Chapter 526: Exposure

Upon hearing these words, Sikong Dou froze, feeling as if thunderbolts were striking in his mind.

"Wh-what... purchase receipts?" Sikong Dou stammered.

"Yes, purchase receipts. Where did you get these books from? How much did you pay for them? It's all on the receipts, right? Show them to us." The captain said sternly, his face expressionless.

Sikong Dou was stunned. All his goods were stolen, so where would he get the receipts?

"Captain, it's... it's been a long time. I honestly don't know where the purchase receipts are," Sikong Dou replied.

"Search carefully! Many of your books are new. How long ago could it have been? Hurry up and find them!" The captain grew impatient.

"Captain..."

Sikong Dou approached, slipping a large silver ingot into the captain's pocket without a sound, "Captain, hehe, please be understanding..."

The captain's face turned red with anger. He took out the silver ingot and threw it on the ground, shouting, "Boss, you dare to openly bribe a Guardian! What crime should you be charged with?"

Seeing the silver ingot on the ground, Sikong Dou was dumbfounded.

This... how could he be so unfeeling?

Sikong Dou reluctantly said, "Captain, many of these books... were obtained through unofficial channels, cough cough, without receipts."

"Hmph, no receipts? Which unofficial channel? Tell us, and we'll investigate." The captain said.

Sikong Dou was shocked again, "Captain, this... it's a channel issue..."

Sikong Dou was completely bewildered.

Channel... What channel do I have? My channel is my two hands.

Seeing that he wasn't answering, the captain urged again, "Quickly..."

Sikong Dou pleaded, "Captain... this channel can't be exposed."

"Don't worry, we'll keep it confidential."

"It's not convenient..."

"We won't interfere with your business. What's the problem?"

The captain said coldly, "Tell us about this channel!"

Before the old man could speak, a team member shouted from the side, "Captain, there are many copies of 'Overlord Chronicles' here!"

The captain was taken aback and went to take a look. He immediately returned, his face growing more serious, "Where did these 'Overlord Chronicles' come from?"

"I... I bought them."

"Bought them? Where from? Where are the receipts?"

"I..."

The old man was completely bewildered.

How did things suddenly turn out like this?

"Speak!" The captain shouted.

The old man was at a loss, his eyes darting around, "Captain, I have something to report."

He pulled the captain aside and whispered, "These books were approved by Frostblade Lord."

"Does Sword Lord have a written order?"

"Huh?... No."

"Do you have a note?"

"..."

"Do you have a token?"

"..."

Sikong Dou's face turned pale.

The captain nodded, "I understand. Men, seal the store and tie up this man! Take him to the Guardian Palace!"

With a clatter, an iron chain was wrapped around the old man's neck.

Two people rushed forward and bound him tightly.

The old man was still bewildered.

How did things escalate to this point?

As for resisting... these Guardians were not his opponents, but... what would happen if he just rushed out like this? Moreover, he had connections with higher-ups, so what was there to fear? He let himself be tied up securely.

The captain walked over and looked at Sikong Dou's old face, saying calmly, "Approved by Sword Lord? You're pulling a big flag here. Why didn't you mention that Nine Senior gave you a backdoor?"

Sikong Dou's face was filled with frustration, "It really was approved by Sword Lord..."

The captain laughed, "Do you mean I should bring Sword Lord here to confront you?"

Sikong Dou was stunned, his mouth agape, "..."

"Take him away!"

The captain waved his hand, and they escorted Sikong Dou out, cursing under his breath, "This old man is really good at stretching the truth, saying Sword Lord approved... He probably thought we wouldn't dare to investigate. What a pea-brained fool!"

"Take him away, you good-for-nothing! How dare you associate with Sword Lord!"

As he spoke, he kicked Sikong Dou's skinny butt, then kicked again, "You old fool! I'll teach you a lesson when we get back!"

Sikong Dou was taken away, feeling wronged and speechless.

They arrived at the Donghu Continent Guardian Palace.

In Sikong Dou's imagination, there would be an interrogation, followed by evidence gathering and sentencing. As long as they contacted their superiors, he would be safe, and there wouldn't be any trouble in the future.

So he waited anxiously.

However, the development of events was completely beyond his expectations.

"Skywalker, your crimes are numerous, and the evidence is conclusive. The sentence is death by beheading. The execution will take place on an auspicious day, and your head will be displayed to the public."

They had directly sentenced him to death.

Sikong Dou was furious!

"I want to see your superior!"

"The superior is busy!"

Finally, Sikong Dou couldn't hold back anymore, "I want to see Fang Patrol, Fang Che, and Fang Captain!"

"Fang Captain won't come!"

"Fang Che will definitely come, he's my brother!"

"Haha, you're saying Fang Patrol is your father?"

"Fang Che is truly my brother! If there's even half a lie, may the heavens strike me with lightning and destroy me!"

Sikong Dou pleaded desperately.

I never would've dreamed it would turn out like this.

You guys up there have kept me in the dark, but no one down here knows anything. Now, I not only dare not kill any of you, but I also dare not move, and I can't even escape.

And yet, he was caught and sentenced to death!

Where can I go to seek justice?

Seeing Si Kong Dou's urgency, he was so anxious that he was almost crying.

The people guarding the Donghu Continent Guardian Palace then began to contact Fang Che.

As soon as Fang Che heard this, he immediately panicked!

He hurried over.

Seeing Fang Che, Si Kong Dou in the death row was almost in tears, "Brother, brother..."

"What's wrong?" Fang Che asked with concern.

The guard beside him said, "Captain Fang, is this really your brother?"

"Yeah, it's my brother."

Fang Che sighed, "He doesn't have much talent. Since he was little, he couldn't do anything. I tried to help him, using my connections to get him a batch of books, so he could open a bookstore here to support his family... What did he do wrong?"

Hearing this, the guard felt embarrassed.

So that's how he got the books...

No wonder this old guy didn't say anything.

"It seems like a misunderstanding..."

In his heart, he thought, this old bastard has such a solid relationship with Captain Fang, and yet he insists on attaching himself to Sword Lord. He's just a dumb donkey!

So, under Fang Che's 'face and connections', Si Kong Dou was soon released.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Fang Che asked with a face full of frustration.

As he spoke, he coughed and a blush appeared on his face.

"Don't mention it... I was just unlucky. The market inspectors caught me red-handed... Sigh, never mind. What about you? Are you injured?"

Si Kong Dou asked.

"Forget it, I was unlucky too. Yesterday, you taught me the Nightmare Divine Art, so I started practicing, but my aptitude wasn't good enough, and the cultivation methods conflicted. I have an innate deficiency in my heart meridian and marrow. At the time, neither of us noticed, so we started directly... and it ended up injuring my heart meridian... Sigh."

Fang Che sighed, "Today, I was just sorting out my spiritual energy when I heard you were arrested. It was a minor issue, but yesterday I was just injured, and my emotions were still in turmoil... which made it worse."

Fang Che laughed and said, "But it's not a big deal. Fortunately, I arrived in time, and my heart is at ease, having resolved a worry."

Si Kong Dou felt ashamed.

Fang Che usually handles important matters, and now he was delayed by him and even got injured. An injury to the heart meridian is no small matter.

The next actions of Fang Che would be very dangerous.

He couldn't help but worry, "Your aptitude has always been top-notch, hasn't it? How could you make such a low-level mistake?"

Fang Che smiled bitterly, "I've always been so confident, and this is the low-level mistake that my brother and I made. We've always known about geniuses... Sigh."

"An injured marrow and insufficient aptitude is no small matter."

Si Kong Dou said, "Come with me quickly. I have some medicine on my side that can help you recover."

"I can't accept this."

"Let's go, let's go. Don't be polite with me."

As they walked, Si Kong Dou made a strange sound.

He was summoning Night Emperor Si Kong Ye.

After the summoning was complete, the old man remained silent along the way.

He kept a solemn face, deep in thought.

The atmosphere was heavy.

When they arrived at Si Kong Dou's small courtyard, Si Kong Ye was already there, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"You two, sit down!"

Si Kong Dou pushed the two of them into chairs.

The two of them sat there, looking confused, not knowing what this old thief was up to.

Weren't they supposed to give him something good? Suddenly, Si Kong Dou started cursing, "You two black-hearted bastards, creating this scheme to snatch my treasure! Si Kong Ye, was this black-hearted plot your idea? You just recovered and immediately teamed up with outsiders to send your brother to the death row!"

"Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Si Kong Dou's anger made his spittle spray onto their faces.

Both of them had confused expressions.

It seems like the secret was out, and they were indeed discovered.

But it's good that they were discovered...

Facing the angry Si Kong Dou, the two of them could only follow the original plan and endure the scolding.

But they both had a bad feeling in their hearts.

It seems like this play didn't go according to the well-imagined script.

"Si Kong Ye, you're shameless! Your brother took care of you for over two thousand years, and as soon as you recovered, you sent your brother to prison!"

"Fang Che, you're amazing! Lying and deceiving without batting an eye!"

Si Kong Dou said angrily, "Damn it, Yan Nan and Dongfang Sansan personally sealed the title of the Sovereign of All Kings. At the Third Rank Emperor level, he swept through the Emperor level's Sovereign of All Kings. With the strength of one person, he fought against the six High Rank Sovereigns of Captain Fang... What a joke! To say that his aptitude is not good!"

"An outsider from a Ninth Rank Clan rose to the height of the Sovereign of All Kings and the Night Emperor, and you tell me his aptitude is average!"
