Doomsday Code

Chapter 331 Confession to Justin

At this moment Justin's face changed. He didn't expect that Chen Cheng would be a slave.

But how is this possible? How could a slave be so strong? And there is not a single trace of slave's servility in him.

Justin's expression became a little unnatural, and he said with a twitch of his mouth:

"Brown, you must be lying to me. You are not a slave at all. This is just an excuse you use to fool me, right?"

However, Chen Cheng added fuel to the fire:

“I didn’t lie to you, and you’ve also seen my master, the contestant named True Faceless. She is my master.

And if you don’t believe me, you can go out and ask other people now. I definitely didn’t lie to you.”

Chen Cheng's words at this time were already very straightforward.

However, Justin's expression changed at this moment, and Chen Cheng could see a hint of sinisterness in his eyes.

Chen Cheng thought to himself, could it be that he thought I had fooled him, that I was insulting him, and so he held a grudge against me like Coles did?

Thinking of Coles, the troublemaker, Chen Cheng became worried.

No matter whether he is a genius or not, if he really wants to kill me, I will kill him now regardless of anything else.

There's no way he's not Coles, who could cause such a big fuss with his little strength.

And with his current strength, if he lets him go, wouldn’t that be making a big enemy for himself in the future?

Just as Justin was about to speak after thinking for a long time, Chen Cheng's heart was in his throat.

However, Justin's words the next moment were completely beyond Chen Cheng's expectations, and he almost frightened Chen Cheng to the point of losing his mind.

"I can already be promoted to the gold level, so no matter who you are, I can only be your guard knight from now on."

Justin's words were incoherent, and he also said that he could only be your guard knight, as if he could only be yours in this life.

Please, this is not some kind of BL, and my interests are normal, okay?

"No, what do you mean by that? Wasn't what I just explained clear enough?"

“No, you explained it very clearly, and I explained it very clearly.

If it weren't for you, I would have died in the ring long ago, and I wouldn't have been able to break through the barriers that were hindering my promotion because of my near-death experience.

So whether it's a battle of strength or a chance of grace, you have given me a lot, and according to the etiquette of chivalry, I can only and will only be your guard knight."

After saying that, Justin half-knelt on the ground again. His eyes were even more determined than before, and the oath of allegiance he uttered was even more sonorous and powerful than before.

However, Chen Cheng felt numb at this moment. Doesn't this kid understand what he says? He is a slave. How can his crappy chivalry be useful to a slave?

And to be honest, Chen Cheng didn't want a knight who followed him around, not only because of his current identity.

At the same time, because of his originally embarrassing identity, if it were to be exposed one day in the future, it would not be a good thing for him, the knight loyal to him, and the family behind him.

However, Chen Cheng could not tell him his true identity directly, so he could only remind him indirectly:

"Have you ever thought that being loyal to a slave would be laughed at by others? Have you ever thought that your parents and family would be disgraced by your actions?"

What he said was somewhat insulting. There was no way Chen Cheng could save people but end up making enemies for himself.

However, Justin's eyes were still firm at this time:

"No, I'm a knight, and the most important thing for a knight is to observe chivalric etiquette, and I am observing chivalric etiquette, so this is not an insult.

And I believe that after my father knows this, he will not feel ashamed, but will be very pleased with my actions.”

Damn it, this guy is just adamant. No matter how much I try to persuade him, why doesn't he listen?

Chen Cheng pondered and paced for a long time. Finally, he could only point at Justin's nose and said:

"Don't regret it. I can't persuade the damned ghost with good words."

Although Justin didn't know what Chen Cheng meant by this, he had already heard the underlying meaning: Chen Cheng agreed to his oath.

So Justin immediately repeated the oath of allegiance again, and this time Chen Cheng did not stop him.

Chen Cheng drew out the rusty iron sword from his waist, and then he tapped the sword on his shoulders on both sides.

"I, Brown Hops, the sixteenth emperor of the Thorn Flower Empire, accept your loyalty, Moores Hops."

Chen Cheng's words were like a bolt from the blue to Justin.

He could never have imagined, never could have imagined, that the person declaring his allegiance in front of him would be the long-missing Emperor.

It was not until Chen Cheng put the sword back into the scabbard that Justin came to his senses.

When Justin came back to his senses, he felt a sense of panic, and he did not hide his panic at all, it was all revealed on his face.

When Chen Cheng saw him like this, he smiled and said,

"Well, I was right, wasn't I? You are the damned devil who can't be persuaded with good words. It's too late to regret now."

However, Justin's subsequent actions were beyond Chen Cheng's expectations.

Justin's other half-kneeling foot also knelt down quietly at this time, and then Chen Cheng saw a very familiar etiquette - kowtow.

You have to know that Chen Cheng has been here for so long and has stayed with Huidun for a while, but he has never seen the kind of kowtow ceremony in ancient times in his previous life.

Justin knelt on the ground for a long time without looking up, and then Chen Cheng heard him sobbing.

"Why are you crying? If you really regret it, then forget it. Just don't reveal my identity."

However, Justin suddenly raised his head and said:

"No, Your Majesty, I am crying because I, Justin, was actually able to be loyal to Your Majesty. I am crying because Your Majesty was actually wronged so much and was forced by those treacherous officials to become a slave to avoid being hunted down."

At this moment, Chen Cheng heard full of hatred in Justin's words, and this hatred was very pure. He really hated those people more than he, the emperor who had lost his country.

In fact, this is also because Chen Cheng was misled by the relaxed life with Huidun and believed that this world did not have the extreme worship of imperial power like in his previous life.

However, the fact is that in this world, the true imperial power is actually much more extreme than in previous lives. Otherwise, at the end of the empire, so many demigod-level masters would not have died together for the empire.

At the same time, the empire had fallen for so many years, and Heath Ledger, who was now the confidant of the king of one of the most powerful kingdoms on the continent, did not have to kneel down and pay his respects to Chen Cheng's father in this life.

After returning to the capital, there is no need to call Hughes Hopps "Your Majesty".

Even though King Kermer was unhappy with Heath Ledger calling Hughes Hopps "Your Majesty", he could not deduct Heath Ledger's military merit for this reason.

He still had to be conferred the title of nobility based on his military merits, and a province was given as his fiefdom, making him the marquis with the largest territory after the empire.

So even if the empire collapsed, the legal system still existed. As long as the legal system still existed, Chen Cheng would still be the supreme emperor, even though his external identity was now that of a slave.
