"Malin, just like you said, the people you killed that day indeed deserved to die, but why couldn't you tell me and His Majesty? Tell me and His Majesty, no matter what, we would definitely have stood by your side. Whatever you exposed, whether it's me or His Majesty, we would have made the right choice. You child, why can't you trust His Majesty and me?" As the Prime Minister, old Hagelberry's words were naturally flattering, and in Malin's opinion, they were obviously biased in his favor.
Moreover, this old man was really cunning. Malin could follow his words and tell him everything he knew about the situation.
As for letting these high and mighty nobles write laws to determine the fate of these crooked merchants?
What a joke, some of these guys are servants of the High Lords present, letting them decide the fate of crooked merchants?
Malin could only smile at that.
