CHAPTER 1507 DO HONJUN
"Your Highness!"
Do Honjun and his troops saluted Emperor Chongmei.
The emperor might be powerless now, but he was still highly respected within the country. He was the head of the country, and everyone must salute him whenever they see him, be it the military generals or members of the cabinet.
Emperor Chongmei was also surprised to see Do Honjun. "General Honjun, why are you here?"
Do Honjun was the royal family's favorite, hence he was very close with the court.
"Your Highness, I heard that the culprit who injured His Royal Highness Prince Seimei is here, so I'm here to arrest him. May I know who's the one?"
Emperor Chongmei and the royal guests landed their gaze on Nathan.
Do Honjun then only noticed Nathan standing there and realized in horror that the man lying in his own pool of blood was Master Watanabe, the Sword God of Japan himself!
"Who wounded Master Watanabe this badly!" Do Honjun exclaimed in shock.
Emperor Chongmei remained quiet and Tanaka replied in his stead, "It's this foreigner who wounded him! His name is Nathan Cross!" This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Do Honjun frowned as his gaze shifted to Nathan. He somehow found him familiar, yet he couldn't recall where he had met him before.
Narrowing his eyes, Do Honjun glared at Nathan. "How daring of you! First, you injured our Prince Seimei, then you wounded Master Watanabe. That's very disrespectful of you! Men, arrest all of
them now!"
Penny and the rest panicked at his orders.
"Stop!” Penny yelled.
"My husband wounded His Royal Highness
Prince Seimei and the rest because he has been creating trouble for us."
"On the other hand, my husband has reached an agreement regarding this issue with His Royal Highness and things are resolved now. You can ask His Royal Highness for confirmation if you don't believe me."
Things are resolved now? Do Honjun thought in confusion.
One of the imperial guards then explained everything to Do Honjun by his ear.
Do Honjun turned to Emperor Chongmei questioningly. Should we hold Nathan responsible for his actions? Do Honjun asked silently.
Emperor Chongmei did not respond to his gaze. He didn't call an end to this fight, nor did he order the general to arrest Nathan.
Do Honjun knew exactly what he meant.
Emperor Chongmei of course didn't want to let Nathan off the hook, especially after he castrated his son and wounded their Sword God Watanabe. To add things to the stack, the Imperial House had also lost ten of their artefacts to Nathan. If they let Nathan go like that, it would be a great humiliation to the Imperial House of Japan.
However, Emperor Chongmei did lose his bet, which he had promised to fulfill in front of so many people. Hence, he couldn't go back on his word and arrest Nathan either.
With that, he deliberately chose not to give out any orders and let Do Honjun decide on his own. Do Honjun understood what he was asked to do!
The general turned to Nathan and Penny with a smirk. "His Royal Highness may want to drop this case, but that doesn't deny the fact that you have wounded several important figures within the royal court. His Royal Highness does not have a definite say in this, but it is clear that your actions have breached our country's law! Men, arrest all of them now. We shall deal with this matter in accordance with our country's law."
Penny's face turned extremely ugly over his statement.
However, Nathan was still as calm as before. "Wait a minute. I have diplomatic immunity and you have no right to arrest me. The only thing you can do now is to send me back to my country respectfully."
What?
Diplomatic immunity?
The emperor and the royal guests all furrowed their brows in confusion.
Do Honjun smirked instead. "Whatever nonsense immunity you have now doesn't work on me. I can kill you right here and your country's embassy can do nothing about it!"
Nathan's lips twitched upwards. "Oh, really? Not bad, Do Honjun. After all these years, you've transformed from a coward who peed your pants in the battlefield to such a powerful general now. Impressive
indeed!”
