"Furthermore, I will inform everyone that the drug you developed is highly toxic and that you are anti-social. I will also spread the word that your company plans to sell this drug worldwide with the intent to poison everyone. I believe no one will object to me doing this!"
"To be frank, all the well-known media outlets in Eagle Country are controlled by our Eagle Country Royal Family. Therefore, after your death, you will become a person everyone despises!"
Menasha continued, her expression grim.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi's gaze sharpened.
Back then, the Royal Families of Mei Country and Eagle Country had used the same tactics against his master and father. After using Jiang Wanli to kill his master and father, they had slandered them, casting a dark shadow over their names for eternity.
The methods of the Royal Families of Mei Country and Eagle Country were truly despicable.
"Kill him!"
Without any hesitation, Menasha shouted at the Royal Guards.
The Captain of the Royal Guards and his men charged towards Jiang Yi.
Just then, orderly and loud footsteps echoed from outside the courtyard.
"Princess, bad news!"
A member of the Royal Guard entered the courtyard from outside.
"Princess, Prince Matthew has arrived, and he's brought thousands of armored soldiers with him!"
Hearing this, Menasha's expression immediately turned serious. She hadn't expected Prince Matthew to come in person. It was clear that Prince Matthew was here to save Jiang Yi.
"Jiang Yi, it seems you were never truly working for our Eagle Country Royal Family from the beginning. You pledged allegiance to Prince Matthew from the start, didn't you?"
Menasha's gaze was filled with killing intent.
"Ridiculous! Your Eagle Country Royal Family and Mei Country Royal Family used Jiang Wanli to kill my master and father. How could I possibly work sincerely for your Eagle Country Royal Family?"
"My apparent service to your Eagle Country Royal Family was solely because I wanted to use you to eliminate Jiang Wanli."
"Now that most of Jiang Wanli's influence in the business world has been eradicated, he will soon be isolated. It will be very easy for me to kill him, so I have no reason to pretend any longer. I might as well reveal my hand to your Eagle Country Royal Family directly."
Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Hearing this, Menasha's killing intent intensified.
"Kill Jiang Yi quickly! We absolutely cannot let Jiang Yi leave here alive!"
Menasha shouted loudly.
Jiang Yi was the only one who could cure Prince Matthew's illness. If Jiang Yi were allowed to leave alive and cure Prince Matthew, the Eagle Country Royal Family would be in serious trouble.
Just as the Royal Guards were preparing to act, Prince Matthew's armored soldiers stormed into the courtyard, surrounding the Royal Guards.
If any of the Royal Guards dared to move, they would be killed directly by the armored soldiers.
While the Royal Guards were indeed formidable in combat, the armored soldiers held a significant advantage in numbers.
If a confrontation were to break out, all the Royal Guards brought by Menasha would perish here.
"Princess Menasha, I didn't expect you to be here as well!"
Prince Matthew entered from outside the courtyard, supported by his attendants.
"I also didn't expect a distinguished Prince Matthew to come in person!"
Menasha sneered and then said to Prince Matthew, "I was just about to seek you out. Your men have apprehended Imperial Physician Desson. I hope you will return Mr. Desson to our Eagle Country Royal Family!"
"That's correct, Desson is indeed in my custody, but I cannot return him to you. Desson is the murderer of those three nobles, and I must thoroughly investigate the case to provide an explanation to the people of Eagle Country!"
"Let alone you, even if the King himself came, I would never hand over Desson!"
Prince Matthew stated calmly.
"Fine, you can keep Desson, but you cannot stop me from killing Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi is a threat to our Eagle Country. If he remains alive, he poses a significant security risk to all of Eagle Country!" Menasha said.
Menasha intended to give up on Desson and focus on killing Jiang Yi.
Killing Jiang Yi was the most important thing for Menasha.
"As long as I am here, anyone who dares to touch a single hair on Jiang Yi's head will be killed by me!"
Prince Matthew stated directly.
Prince Matthew no longer wished to play along with the Eagle Country Royal Family and prepared to confront them head-on.
"Prince Matthew, you are a prince of our Eagle Country, yet you show no regard for national security and try to stop me. Are you attempting rebellion?"
Menasha said sternly.
"Spare me your theatrics, Eagle Country Royal Family. Others may not know your ways, but I am well aware that you are deliberately labeling Jiang Yi as a threat to national security, with the sole purpose of using it as an excuse to kill him!"
"Everyone thinks I am a ruthless demon, but in reality, your Eagle Country Royal Family are the true devils. You use despicable means to smear your opponents and then brutally murder them in order to eliminate dissent!"
"Your methods are truly chilling. Don't think you've covered your tracks perfectly. Sooner or later, everything you've done will be exposed to the world, and everyone will see your ugly faces!"
Prince Matthew sneered.
Menasha began to feel uneasy.
"Jiang Yi, let's go!"
Prince Matthew said to Jiang Yi.
"Mm!"
Jiang Yi nodded and walked out of the courtyard with Prince Matthew.
As Jiang Yi left, he glanced at the poisonous plants and creatures in the courtyard, a smile playing on his lips. Although the toxic miasma had dissipated, the toxicity of these poisonous plants and creatures remained.
Watching Jiang Yi's brazen departure, Menasha's gaze was sharp as a sword.
"Princess Natasha, we cannot let Jiang Yi go! If we let him go this time, it will be even harder to kill him later!"
The one-eyed bodyguard was clearly unwilling to accept this.
"I don't want to let Jiang Yi go either, but there's nothing I can do. Prince Matthew has brought so many people. If we resort to force, our Royal Guards will surely be wiped out, and we still wouldn't be able to kill Jiang Yi. It's simply not worth the risk!"
"Don't worry! Jiang Yi will eventually die by my hand. I don't believe Prince Matthew can protect him forever."
A cold killing intent flickered across Menasha's face.
In truth, Menasha was also resentful, but she had no choice but to watch Jiang Yi leave. She was a smart woman and would not do anything that wasn't worth the risk.
"I've already thought of a way to kill Jiang Yi!"
A sinister expression spread across Menasha's face.
"What way?"
The one-eyed bodyguard asked eagerly.
"Jiang Yi's wife and children, along with most of his subordinates, like Shen Lu and Dong Rui, are all in Ximeng State. I will send people to Ximeng State to capture them. Then, I will have the leverage to deal with Jiang Yi. Even if I tell Jiang Yi to commit suicide, he will have no choice but to comply!"
Menasha said with a cold laugh.
