Chapter 304: Trash prince

Doctor Bai waved his hand dismissively. "No need to thank me. This is really my duty as a physician."

After that, Han Xin walked out of the medical bay, heading for the grand hall. As he approached the grand hall, he pulled the hood lower over his face, blending into the crowd. Who would have thought he would walk into a scene of Xiang Yu kneeling before the imperial Lord, asking to be punished?

Han Xin had a gnawing feeling that Xiang Yu was scheming something, but he couldn’t understand why everything was so different from his last life. Hidden in the shadows, his hood covering half his face, Han Xin watched as Xiang Yu was struck repeatedly by the electromagnetic whip. By the twelfth slash, Xiang Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, but his back remained straight, torn and bleeding.

The imperial Lord had expected his son to beg for mercy, but Xiang Yu’s stubbornness only fueled his fury. He raised the whip and struck even harder, the force of the blow tearing deep into Xiang Yu’s flesh, right to the bone. The onlookers turned away in horror, unable to bear the sight.

Lian and Mei, standing among the crowd, were visibly distressed. They wanted to intervene, but as if sensing their intentions, Xiang Yu discreetly signalled with his hand for them to stay out of it. Lian gritted her teeth, her fists clenched in frustration, while Mei looked down and covered her ears, unable to watch.

Everyone, including the imperial Lord, missed this subtle exchange, but Han Xin did not. He saw Xiang Yu’s small movements and followed the crowd with his eyes, spotting the two alphas of the Wu family.

Everyone in the imperial capital knew that the Wu family twins were arrogant and had disrespected Xiang Yu multiple times. Xiang Yu had cursed them in front of Han Xin on several occasions, so what was going on now?

Han Xin knew there was an anomaly, and that anomaly was Xiang Yu and the Wu family twins. The Xiang Yu of this life was different, and the changes were unsettling.

As the twentieth slash tore at Xiang Yu’s flesh, the Imperial Lord took a step back, his expression dark and unsightly. Unable to control his rage any longer, he shouted, "Everyone, get out!" _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

The crowd was momentarily confused by the outburst and didn’t move at first. The Imperial Lord bellowed, "I said get out!" The councillors and the rest of the onlookers bowed and hurried out, fearing the imperial lord might turn the whip on them next.

The Imperial Lord’s chest rose and fell with seething rage, the veins on his neck and temples throbbing. The doors closed behind them, leaving only the two of them in the grand hall.

On the other side of the door, two people were failing to hide their emotions. Those two people were Mei and Lian. Lian said, "Let’s go back and get him. We can’t leave him alone with him."

Mei grasped Lian’s wrist as though to stop her and whispered, "I am worried about him too, but he knows what he is doing."

Lian bit her lip, looking at the closed door. The entire conversation was overheard by Han Xin. He wanted to eavesdrop a bit more but he had another conversation he was more interested in.
