A Smart And Cunning King

Kai returned to the hotel when the sun started to rise. Upon entering his room, he saw Mariel hugging Mia's body like a body pillow and Mia was keeping one of her legs on top of Mariel.

"If I didn't know better, I might as well have considered that to be a good sex position." Kai chuckled lightly.

He then entered the shower and took an hour-long bath which might be considered as a wastage of water.

But the hotels in the royal capital were using water from the spiritual lakes underground. The water would be renewed by the end of every day because of the spiritual energy so people could even have a water fight if they wanted to.

After coming out from the bath, Kai saw that both Mariel and Mia were awake as they were standing in front of him. Both of them were naked as Mariel walked up to Kai and kissed him before entering the shower herself.

"How long will she take?" Mia asked as she stretched her body which was very much seductive as her breasts flayed in the air.

"Mariel is not a huge fan of water. So, at the most, five minutes." Kai replied as he snapped his fingers to clean the room.

And he was right as Mariel emerged from the bathroom within five minutes. She was wearing her usual clothes and her hair were shining even though they were not wet.

"I used my flames to dry my hair in an instant." Mariel said to Mia before she too went into the shower.

"So, what's our plan for today?" Mia asked as she came out after 15 minutes. Unlike Kai and Mariel, her hair were still wet and were hanging down on her side.

"Today, we are going up to the palace to meet Zian Asahi and his council of corrupted ministers." Kai replied as he snapped his fingers to dry Mia's hair.

He then told them about his last night's adventures as both of them nodded. The trio then exited their room and bumped into Riang who was just coming to call Kai.

"Oh, I was just coming to see you. I wanted to ask whether you will come with the rest of the sect to watch today's battles?" Riang asked as Kai just shook his head.

"We are currently going to the royal palace and most of our time will be spent there." Kai replied as Riang nodded and left to gather the sect.

Kai then teleported the three of them in front of the royal palace. He spread his spiritual sense on the entire royal palace.

It looked as though Zian Asahi was currently staying at the palace to attend royal affairs while Watanabe was staying at the arena.

"It looks as though half the royal family is in the arena. Let's teleport to the throne room directly." Kai said as the three of them vanished and appeared smack in the middle of the throne room.

"Maybe we should have just walked." Kai suggested as everyone inside the throne room stood up and released their cultivation.

"He knows me. So you better withdraw your cultivation or I will kill you." Kai said as he pointed at Asahi as the people in the throne room were dumbfounded.

However, much to their shock, Asahi started laughing as he stared at Kai. He then stood up from his throne and smiled at Kai.

"I have heard some things about you and I must say, mother was cheerful her visit to the Blue Moon sect. Perhaps you are one of the main reasons for her excitement." Asahi said as he looked at the two beauties standing beside Kai.

'He is smart and cunning.' Kai said as smiled at Asahi's personality. This person was genuinely kind at the heart but he wasn't blindly devoted to kindness. He was smart and cunning and perhaps that was one of the main reasons that the whole continent listened to him.

Even though he was smart, these people were still fooling him under his nose. But wait... what if they weren't fooling him and all of this was intentional?

"Well I am sure Watanabe loved our time together and I would happily spend time with her if it makes her happy. But I am here for a different reason. Who manages your projects and money?" Kai asked as Asahi as the ministers glared at Kai and his two partners.

"And why should I tell that to a random kid who just happened to make my mother like him?" Asahi asked in turn as Kai sighed.

"Why did I even bother asking?" Kai said as he snapped his fingers and checked Asahi and the ministers memories.

"Well, that's interesting." Kai said as he glanced at Asahi and suddenly, huge waves of aura started to release from his body.

"Ahhhh!" Screams started to rise and the ministers and Asahi started to sink down to the floor. Only Mariel and Mia remained unaffected as they watched the scene unfold in front of them.

Blood started to flow from the ministers and Asahi's eyes and they clawed at their eyes as if they wanted to pull them out.

"I will ask you a simple question. Those who are responsible for wrongfully using the money and resources, that was supposed to help the slums, raise your hands or all of you will die brutally." Kai said as the people started to move.

The wrongdoers will try to hide themselves till the end however, people who know their crimes will always push the crime doers forward and save their own lives.

And that's what happened in the throne room as three ministers were pushed in the front of the crawling crowd.

"I already knew that you three were the masterminds of this plan but it was still exciting to watch your fellow ministers give you up in no time flat." Kai said as the pressure emitting from his body stopped.

"See, Asahi already knew that you guys were abusing your power but you covered up your tracks professionally. So, Asahi decided to deliberately give you that money and resources so that he could trap you and capture you at once. He gave you an entire year to develop the slums area but you continued to use that money for your own good.

But what you didn't know was that Asahi had secretly smuggled many of his trusted members inside your household. They had recorded everything and Asahi was going to arrest you at the end of the tournament. A truly smart and cunning king." Kai said as he nodded his head at Asahi, who stood up easily and wiped the blood from his cheeks.

"And just so you know, I already saw this in his memories. So he was just acting about that pain and stuff." Kai said to the three ministers on the floor before he went in front of them and touched their foreheads one by one.

Their eyes suddenly started to glow as their hands slowly started to move towards their eyeballs.

"Since you loved to see everything with your eyes. It's a fitting end for you unless you have any objections." Kai asked Asahi who just shook his head.

"I was planning on killing them by whipping them a thousand times but your way is more efficient and gives justice to everyone." Asahi said as he watched the three ministers claw out their eyeballs.

After they were dead, Kai cleaned up the mess and teleported back to the hotel with Mariel and Mia.

"That kid was truly fascinating." Asahi said after Kai had vanished.

He bent down a picked up an eyeball rolling on the floor, it was the only thing Kai deliberately left out.

'And he understands my true nature. He really is an interesting person mother.' Asahi thought as his lips curled up in a small smile. But the smile was anything but friendly.

"That man is really dangerous." Kai said as the trio appeared back in the hotel.

Now, anyone else would have completely disagreed with him but Mia and Mariel nodded.

"He maintains a kind and loving personality on the outside and his soul and heart are also kind. But it looks as though he just used his kindness to crush his other more fearful side. That man is definitely a sadist but that sadist behavior is buried deep under his soul and he has created multiple restraints around it so it won't ever get out but traces of it are still left." Kai said as he too smiled.

"I thought this place was boring and nothing happened here. But who could have guessed that this planet is more interesting than I had thought." Kai said as he looked at Mia and Mariel.

"Hey Kai, remember the cave where I met Watanabe and Kiana and we found out about the Pure white tiger? Something is wrong with that place as time moves faster there. We only spend an hour or two there but so much time had passed in the real world." Mariel said as Kai nodded.

"So let's go and check that place." Kai said as he extended his hand to the two beauties. Both of them took it as the three of them vanished into thin air.
