Chapter 199 Don't Let the Water God Down

As Qiuhe uttered each word clearly, he first easily bent the wrist of a burly man who was half a head taller than him, and then, without anyone noticing what was happening, he hacked the surrounding walls, leaving them covered in knife marks.

Seeing this, the nobles and everyone present were completely dumbfounded. They had never seen anything like it before; not a single person had seen Qiuhe draw his sword from the very beginning.

He didn't even carry a knife; the only peculiar thing about him was the countless fine, sand-like, condensed cubes on his thumb that emitted a purple glow.

And those miniature cubes were slowly rotating and floating on Qiuhe's thumb, like a ring floating on his thumb.

Thinking of the child's decisive manner, the danger emanating from him, and the barely concealed killing intent in his eyes,

These nobles only then realized that the child's words were definitely not just for fun; the biggest difference between the rich and ordinary people...

The key is that they are not easily fooled. Once they have shown a glimpse of the opponent's strength and the aura of a god-level expert, they have already made up their minds at a glance.

The boy before them was no ordinary person; in fact, they felt he was probably even more ruthless than the Supreme Judge, Navelette.

The nobles also realized that the child before them and Vilette were probably under the control of the gods, one responsible for questioning, judging, and determining, while the other was responsible for war, punishment, and killing.

Although these nobles had never seen the child before, they guessed that those who rarely showed themselves were often the most terrifying.

He usually keeps a low profile, but once he reveals himself, it foreshadows an impending storm. Adding to this, he heard Qiuhe say earlier that the water god was watching this place through his eyes...

The nobles, their previous demeanor completely changed, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground. "We're sorry, Water God, we didn't know this person either."

"They are your subordinates. I thought they were just some mischievous children, so I just wanted to...give them a little punishment. Please, please forgive me, Lord Water God."

Upon hearing what Gheri said, Delibor hurriedly distanced himself, "Hey, Gheri, just say what you want to say, don't drag us into it!"

This person's demeanor clearly indicates that he is no ordinary individual, yet you dared to provoke him. We have long recognized that this person is extraordinary.

That's why we didn't act rashly. "You, if you're going into the water, don't take us with you!" Perhaps they would appear more united in the presence of a righteous judge like Villette.

After all, Vilette was clearly the one in charge of the interrogation, and it was obvious what the person in front of them was doing; they also knew a certain saying from Liyue.

As the saying goes, "Better to sacrifice a friend than oneself," but upon hearing Delibor's words and recalling his earlier arrogant demeanor, he...

Gheri was also furious at this moment, "Dribo, what the hell do you mean! You two-faced beast, you cowardly bully!"

"Like father, like son!" Hearing the noisy commotion, Qiuhe snapped, "Shut up, all of you!" Hearing this angry voice...

The two quickly stopped arguing and kowtowed again, not daring to lift their heads. "All irrelevant personnel present, please leave, otherwise, your faces will be..."

"It will be like this wall!" These words came from a child who barely reached an adult's chest, and the incredibly young voice...

If it weren't for the clearly visible knife marks on the wall, probably no one present would have run away as fast as a stray dog.

Seeing that there were no more bystanders around, Qiuhe slowly approached the kneeling group. Hearing the approaching footsteps, the nobles broke out in a cold sweat.

The sound of heartbeats mingled and filled the entire corridor. Watching these nobles, their faces drenched in sweat and their bellies pounding, and hearing their very distinct heartbeats...

Qiuhe couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. The reason it was funny was because he was reminded of those brainless short videos he'd seen on his phone back on Earth.

"I knew it! This is how a normal human would react. Those brainless short videos online are just fooling people. The protagonists in those videos are so powerful they're practically capable of destroying the world."

He was even mocked as a stray dog ​​on the street. I really don't know what those screenwriters were thinking, and their exaggerated expressions and acting. —"Qiag"

Hearing his name called, Chiag was so frightened that his heart nearly jumped out of his throat, and his eyes widened, too afraid to look up.

Seeing this, Qiuhe slowly spoke up, "There's no need to kneel any longer. The Water God has forgiven your offense. Rise, all of you."

Upon hearing these words, everyone finally exhaled, their voices trembling, and said in unison, "Thank you, Lord Water God."

"Thank you, sir." "You can just call me Qiuhe." Qiuhe's cold voice rang out, and the nobles all nodded in understanding.

"Chiag," Chiag said tremblingly when he heard Qiuhe calling him again, "Yes, Qiuhe-sama, what are your orders?"

"The Water God doesn't usually send me out easily, you all know that, right?" The nobles had already guessed this, so they all nodded in unison.

"Chiag, the Water God specifically sent me to the hospital this time, not for anything else, but precisely for your daughter's case." Chiag had just heard this when...

Still a little stunned, she excitedly exclaimed after regaining her senses, "Really? You mean, the Water Goddess..."

"We sent you to help investigate this case." Qiuhe turned his back, feigning an air of detached wisdom, and nodded slightly with his hands behind his back. "I'm not just here for the case."

"Perhaps I can still save that girl." Chiag, upon hearing this, was also overwhelmed with excitement. "Don't be too happy yet. Nothing in this world is free. As a businessman..."

"You should know better than anyone else." Qiyage, whose heart had just been pounding with excitement, was completely stunned by Qiuhe's words, which felt like a bucket of ice water being poured over his head.

Chiag asked somewhat timidly, "What...what do you want? Or...what does the Water God want? Whatever it is..."

"I'll agree to anything as long as the Water God can save my daughter." Qiuhe smiled slightly upon hearing this. "Don't worry, what I need you to do is very simple."

Go to the Mo Mang Palace now and confess all the crimes you have committed and all the shameful things you have done in secret.

"Confess to the Water God clearly, and remember, you must be sincere." Chiag was dumbfounded upon hearing this. "I, my lord, I, I don't know what you're talking about."

"I haven't committed any crime." Hearing this, Qiuhe paused for a few seconds, then said in a very low voice, "Qiag, I advise you to think this through."

I've investigated everything you've done behind my back. You now have three choices: one, come with your sincerity...

First, go and confess your sins to the Water God. Second, I will take you to the Water God, and then, in the court of judgment, I will publicly reveal your crimes through the words of Navelette.

At that time, the crimes you committed were enough to keep you imprisoned in Mero Petersburg for life, and your daughter... well, good luck to her. As for this third...

Qiuhe stopped there, and Qiage, who had heard this, was once again filled with panic. Qiuhe did not mention a third point.

But judging from his tone, how could Chiag not know what this so-called third point was? In the end, Chiag knelt down on the ground with a thud.

With tears streaming down her face, she pleaded in anguish, "Please... please help my daughter... as long as... as long as you can help... I... I'll do anything."

He had no other choice at this point. Although there were supposed to be three options, the first two would lead to his arrest and imprisonment in Mero Petersburg, no matter which one he chose.

Even if it meant being imprisoned for life, if it meant his daughter's survival and the capture of the criminal, he would gladly pay the price.

"This is undoubtedly the most cost-effective deal," Qiuhe smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this. "Very good, a good choice, very wise. Your love for your daughter..."

The Water God has accepted this. The Water God is pleased with you. Go, do what you must do. I will take over your daughter's affairs from now on.

Chiag, his teeth clenched and eyes brimming with tears, said, "Thank...thank you...thank you...Water God...my Lord."

After listening, Qiuhe walked towards the medical room, but then stopped and said to Qiage, who was kneeling on the ground behind him, "Oh, right..."

"It has to be Proustis. We can't be sloppy when it comes to sincerity," Chiag thought, still not understanding what he meant, and could only ponder it later.

The remaining nobles nearby didn't dare to speak, remaining silent the entire time as bystanders. They silently mourned for three seconds at Chiag's fate.

"And you too." Qiu He's sudden words startled the remaining nobles, who then all turned to look at him.

Then Qiu He's brows revealed endless calculation, and the corners of her mouth slightly turned up. "I have evidence of all your crimes, and the Water God is already aware of it all."

You have this time to investigate the case of Chiag's daughter, and before this time runs out, the Water God hopes that you will, like Chiag, [continue to work towards this goal].

"Repent and accept your punishment, or I will personally wipe away the people who have disappointed the Water God."
