Omnipotent Husband System-Chapter 424: Culprit At The Door.

Hao Ren displayed his sword intent and took everyone by surprise. The three generals turned around and took out their swords to aim at him and he smiled, as he said, "I had to prove that I am not a novice. This is not an act of disrespect but my sincerity, three fairies."

He clasped his hands and bowed to them. The Empress smiled faintly and said, "Senior Hao, you truly are an anomaly. This is the first time I have seen someone so accomplished at the Dao of Alchemy and at the same time using the sword as well. Truly marvelous. However, I will not make any comments about the generals having a sword duel with you. It is their own choice."

Hao Ren nodded and said, "I understand, your majesty. If the fairies can defeat me, I will refine a batch of Life Regeneration Pills for them. I will not have them guide me for free. I think not only my intention but even the compensation for the trouble is sincere."

The three ladies looked at each other and one of them said, "Grandmaster Hao, please give us one week's

time to think about it. We need to seek advice from our master on this matter."

Hao Ren nodded and replied with a smile, "That is fine, once you have made a decision, you can contact me at the Alchemy Association."

The three of them thanked him and then Hao Ren looked at the Empress as he asked, "Your Majesty, may I be so blunt and ask you how did you catch that bloody thing?"

The Empress sighed and said, "I had gone over to the Avalon Kingdom. The crown prince was crowned as the New King. On the way there a few people surrounded the convoy. They told us to not go there and support this canonization. However, I am bound by the duty of holding witness to the situation. When I didn't budge we were attacked.

At first nothing happened, but during the coronation ceremony, I almost couldn't hold on and that was when I discovered that I was poisoned."

Hao Ren frowned and then pinned his chin. Grandmaster Douglas asked, "Grandmaster Hao, what is the matter?"

The young man raised his palm and showed a sesame sized black dot to the old man and said, "The mark of the poison that sticks with you for a while. If the person had attacked Her Majesty to vent his rage, then this mark can lead the person over to me."

The people were shocked, and the Empress reacted immediately, "Grandmaster Hao, how about you reside in the royal palace until this mark is dissolved, I can assure you that nobody in the surrounding nations is bold enough to come over to my territory and harm my benefactor."

Hao Ren waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about it, Your Majesty, I will handle it on my own. Hao Ren might not be invincible, but I am not a coward either, if that person tired to make a move, then I hope you won't hold me or my daughter guilty for retaliating in kind."

The Empress nodded and looked at the general wearing black and silver armor, as she said, "Commander Mei, I hope you know what to do."

The sword fairy bowed deep and said, "This servant understands, Your Majesty."

Hao Ren said, "Then I will take my leave, Your Majesty. Please send the books over when you have gathered them."

The Empress nodded, and Grandmaster Douglas also clasped his fist as he left the chamber but not before reminding the Imperial Physician to pay for the Soul Rejuvenation herb used to treat the Empress.

The young man didn't say much until he came out of the palace, and Old Man Douglas asked, "You are really sure that you would be fine on your own."

Hao Ren nodded and then he asked, "Master Douglas, tell me what is the dynamic between the Crown Prince and the Empress?"

The old man thought of something and said, "They are harmonious. Although the Crown Prince is the younger brother of the late Emperor. Why do you ask?"

Hao Ren frowned and asked, "Since he is the brother of the last Emperor, why was he calling the Empress as mother?"

Douglas sighed and said, "He was very young when the Empress married in the palace. The young prince had never met his mother, she died in childbirth, however, the Empress was kind to him and so after a few months, she declared that she saw the crown prince as her own son."

Hao Ren shook his head and said, "You all have been fooled, that crown prince is a real mastermind."

Douglas was surprised and he said, "Grandmaster Hao, you can't make such allegations."

Hao Ren shook his head and said, "Then tonight, you keep a good watch on my place and I will show you."

The old man was taken aback by the confidence shown by this young man and nodded, "Fine, I will watch out for the night."

The young man nodded and then he led Douglas to his courtyard mansion. However, the old man left the place and said, "I will watch from a distance, so that it doesn't startle the snake, if there is one."

The young man nodded, thanked him and then sent him away with his eyes. He entered the house, and he found Deepa and Ramji still practicing, he sighed and said, "I get it that you two are disciplined, but do you wish to break your bodies into two by practicing like this? Go get some rest and we will have some clear Flame chicken soup."

Yin came over and asked, "You stirred up some trouble, didn't you?"

Hao Ren shrugged and said, "Let's see if it really is a problem or an opportunity."

Yin nodded and after a few minutes the young man entered the kitchen and began to cook. Yin was standing next to him and he said, "I was thinking if we should use the Crescent Moon Pavilion tactic again."

Yin rolled her eyes and said, "You are short on money. It is good that you want to run a business, but you would need to train them. I am not sure if they will be held back by this."

Hao Ren thought for a bit and then he sighed as he said, "Well, if we cannot have a restaurant, you should go out and hire a chef for us. I am not going to cook daily; it is rather tiring."

Yin nodded and replied, "I will get you a cook. Now, Baba, spill what are we looking at?"

Hao Ren put the chicken inside the boiling water and said, "The crown prince was the one who poisoned the Empress, so I am thinking that he would directly attack me to cover up his tracks."

Yin frowned and asked, "Why do you think that he is a traitor?"

The young man replied, "Because when the poison was extracted, and I destroyed it, the drop in the Prince's cultivation was obvious. Although he covered it up rather smartly, he still cannot outsmart me."

Yin nodded and said, "You are a fox indeed."

Hao Ren glared at her, and the young lady said, "Mother has gone into seclusion and Elder Yue has asked what you wish to do along the way? She suggested that it would be a basic information trade as the fox team has set up a newsletter across the southern states of the Spirit Siphon Continent. They are planning to expand to other nations and all, but it would take time, because they are very understaffed."

Hao Ren sighed and said, "I dare not disobey your commands, Princess Yin."

Yin nodded and then patted his back as she left the kitchen while licking her lips and mumbling, "Baba makes the best food."

Hao Ren shook his head and said, "If only my wife could eat."

Yin didn't bother with him, and she sent back the two guys to carry the bowls and everything as she set up the table with Alka. After they were done eating, Hao Ren sat down in the courtyard with a Jar of wine in his hand. The young man was sipping it very lightly, as if he was trying to drown his sorrows.

He looked at the sky and said, "There is no moon tonight. The stars will bear witness to your actions, Crown Prince."

A young man stepped out of the shadows and asked, "You ruined my entire plan. The conspiracy and the opportunity that I have been painstakingly, it was all ruined by you."

Hao Ren clicked his tongue and his aura subdued the elders and then he asked, "So, you are also after the throne, Your Highness?"

The prince spat on the ground and said, "Do you think I would be that shallow? I am after the Empress, the seed of Phoenix. Yet, that woman always refers to me as a son. No, I must have her. You bastard, you should die."

Hao Ren waved his hand and subdued the attacker without any opportunity to attack or run away.
