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."

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!"
The surrounding guards also discovered the four men as they swarmed forward. Sensing
the aura from the four men, none of them dared to make a move.
A guard looked at Zack before calling out to the four figures, "Tell me who you are."
As the words rang through the air, one of the four people clad in gold walked forwards
slowly, staring at Zack.
"You must be the reigning Emperor of the South Cloud Continent, yes?"
Zack did not show any emotion as he spoke lightly. "That's me! How dare you question my
identity?"
Truthfully, Zack's ego had inflated a great deal since becoming emperor. Typically, he
would not have given people like the golden-clad figures in front of him the time of the
day.
For some reason, there was an unexplainable pressure that made him subconsciously
speak in a more humble tone.
The leader of the golden-clad figures said, "We're part of the Heaven Watchers. We
received news that the South Cloud Royals have seized one of the Carters, so we came to
have a look."
His voice was not loud, but it radiated undeniable authority and aura.

They were the four Dixon brothers, not Heaven Watchers of any sort. Their entire get-up
and act was completely Goddad's idea.
Goddad, with his brain full of wacky ploys, had the four Dixon brothers dress up as Heaven
Watchers to come forth and question Chester and the rest.
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.
