Hail Lord Vinsion!

Chapter 12

This event sent waves of uncontrollable joy through Mathis’ chest. 

However, he tried to remain calm.

Mathis began to resume his role of bringing down Rael. 

He started acting with a sad expression on his face.

“I’m sad to say so, but it’s truly unfortunate that the evidence is genuine.”

“This is completely unacceptable!”

“How could an official casually purchase luxury properties and then indulge in the company of so many women without stealing from the state’s funds?”

“Is that even possible?”

“If Rael is truly not involved with many prostitutes and supporting so many mistresses of his, then how can there be routine transactions of thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars to these women?”

“Meanwhile, the people pay taxes to make Noorhaven a better place.”

“But unfortunately, corrupt officials have ruined the trust of the people!”

Mathis placed his hand over his chest, as if deeply disappointed and saddened.

“It turns out that we’ve all been deceived by the holy mask of Rael Vinsion.”

“But fortunately, now we all know his true face—nothing more than a parasite.”

“With all the evil Rael Vinsion has done, he rightfully belongs on the list of state enemies who deserve disgrace and severe punishment!”

Mathis' brief speech burned in Joel’s chest.

He growled, “What nonsense!”

Joel still clearly remembered how Lord of the Scorpion’s men treated Rael with such respect. 

This made Joel feel that he couldn’t stay silent any longer.

However, before Joel could act, Damarion stopped him. 

“Don’t act hastily, Mr. Myers.”

“I know you’re angry, I am too.”

“However, Oberon has arranged Lord Vinsion’s arrest in such a way.”

“So if you stand up to defend him now, it will be in vain.”

“A fool like Mathis will never listen to you.”

“I think a man like Mathis will never stop slandering Lord Vinsion, and he will regret it only after hitting a wall hard.”

Damarion sighed deeply as if he were exhausted and pessimistic about Noorhaven’s future.

“I think it’s time for me to start thinking about retirement and moving to another state.”

“Noorhaven is no longer safe. Without Lord Vinsion, this place will soon be in chaos.”

Joel sighed and nodded in agreement.

“You’re right, Mr. Travis. From now on, we don’t know whether we’ll continue to live or die miserably.”

While Damarion and Joel continued muttering to each other, Mathis led the group of officials to the Gold Throne complex.

Although they’ve heard of how luxurious and grand it was, they had never visited it in person.

Upon arriving, the officials were astonished by the community.

The grand buildings with beautiful gardens were neatly lined up. 

The main road appeared massive, wide enough to fit four buses side by side.

In addition, there were elite hospitals, luxurious and comfortable malls, and top-tier private schools ranging from elementary to university levels established there.

“My goodness… this place is perfect. The property prices here must be astronomical!”

“You’re right. I heard the cheapest property here costs ten million dollars, while the most expensive can reach two billion.”

“Goodness, is there anyone who can actually afford to buy this?”

“Of course, there is.”

“I’m curious, what kind of people are able to purchase properties at such fantastic prices?”

Mathis emphasized to the officials, “Gentlemen, have you forgotten that Rael owns dozens of properties here, and their total value exceeds two billion?”

“If we think clearly, where could Rael have gotten that much money?”

“As officials of Noorhaven, you all surely know the salary of a government official here and can predict the wealth range of one, as well as the source of their income.”

“If Rael wasn’t involved in various crimes, how could he possibly have such a large sum of money to buy properties in this area?”

“Also, how could he afford to support such a large number of women every month?”

Mathis' statement immediately shook the officials’ faith in Rael.

“You’re right, Mr. Huber. Lord Vinsion’s wealth is indeed questionable.”

“He thought he could deceive us forever. Now we all know Lord Vinsion’s true nature.”

“Please stop calling him Lord Vinsion. He’s nothing but a filthy liar and a thief who stole the people’s money!”

“You’re right. He deserves a harsh punishment!”

Secretly, Mathis smiled as the officials began to openly question Rael's sincerity in managing Noorhaven and began to insult him.

Mathis' gaze then shifted toward Damarion and Joel, who had not been swept up in his scheme from the start. 

In his heart, he wanted to humiliate Damarion because he had defended Rael during his welcoming dinner.

In a provocative tone, Mathis addressed the officials. 

“Ladies and gentlemen, to see more clearly the depravity of Rael, let us take a direct look at Rael’s ‘harem’ in the Gold Throne.”

“After this, I’m sure there will be no more doubts in your hearts about who Rael Vinsion truly is.”

“A villain disguised as an angel, like Rael, does not deserve our trust or the trust of the people!”

Mathis’ words were so firm, as though he represented justice.

No one knew how eagerly he wanted to erase any influence Rael had over the officials and eliminate all doubts about the accusations he had made against him. 

This included Damarion and Joel.

The officials followed Mathis’ gaze as well. 

They all knew Damarion and Joel were loyal supporters of Rael.

They wondered how these two felt now that the truth was about to be revealed.

Unfortunately, Damarion was already completely disillusioned with his sly plans.

He didn’t even bother to look back at them and turned his face away.

At that moment, Mathis felt immense satisfaction.

He assumed that Damarion was doing this out of shame.

‘Now you understand why Rael deserves to be in prison, don’t you?’
