Chapter 1082 Prince Basil
Chapter 1082 Prince Basil
Bryant and Shirley were both surprised when Sabina suddenly appeared. Her question was a shock too, so they could not answer her at once.
On the other hand, as soon as Alston saw Sabina, his eyes darkened, and his posture took on a cautious stance.
"Miss Shirley, did you mean it when you said you want to marry Prince Basil?" Sabina repeated, glancing at Alston.
Meanwhile, Shirley didn't answer immediately. She looked at Bryant first, and only when he nodded slightly did she nod as well. "Yes, I did!"
Alston was enraged at her answer because, at this critical moment, Sabina unexpectedly showed up to spoil his plan. However, he could not do anything to Sabina in public, so he could do nothing but grit his teeth, which Alston did so severely that he almost broke his teeth.
"Well then, I will announce a piece of good news, which is also good news for the Holy Dragon Empire. And, congratulations, Miss Shirley. You will get what you want soon," Sabina said vaguely, as everyone listened to her raptly.
"Miss Sabina, what do you mean?" curious, Bryant also asked. In his opinion, Sabina came here out of the blue because she wanted to help the Ximen Clan out. Besides, he knew that the Ji Clan was openly against Alston, so he believed that he could trust Sabina.
"I am happy to tell you that Prince Basil is not dead. He is still alive!" Sabina solemnly stated. Her beautiful eyes were narrowed with sincerity, as she looked at all the guests one by one.
Of course, all the people present were stunned when they heard what Sabina had said. At first, they thought that they had misheard. How could she say that Prince Basil was still alive? Moreover, it was
Sabina who brought the news of Prince Basil's death back to the Holy Dragon Empire. Why was she suddenly saying these things now when Prince Basil had been dead for over a year?
"Sabina, don't be alarmist. That guy has already died. How can he still be alive?" Alston immediately shouted, viciously glaring at her, even though he was also stunned. He could not believe that Basil was still alive.
"Have you forgotten who brought back the news of Prince Basil's death?" Sabina asked him condescendingly when she saw the disbelief in his faces.
At this, Alston hesitated a little. He remembered that it was Sabina who brought back the news of Prince Basil's death.
'Did she deliberately tell the world that Basil was dead, but in fact, he is still alive?' At this thought, Alston's heart skipped a beat, and his eyebrows scrunched up in stress. It couldn't be right. After all, Basil had spiraled into madness in the battle with him, so he couldn't have survived.
"Miss Sabina, is Prince Basil really alive?" Bryant asked in surprise. He didn't think that Sabina was lying. Most importantly, if Basil were still alive, perhaps everything would change, and the Ximen Clan wouldn't take a road of no return.
"Yes, he is still alive." Sabina nodded solemnly.
"If he is alive, then let him come here. I'd like to see how a dead person can show up here alive and well," Alston said as he glared at Sabina. In his opinion, Sabina was trying to ruin his plan, so she deliberately made up the news that Basil was still alive.
"You will see him soon," Sabina replied forebodingly. She knew that Rocky was already on his way here, and the only thing she needed to do was to stall for time.
"Cut the crap. Unless he shows up right at this moment, I won't believe you. What's more is that I'll arrest you for spreading rumors and deliberately stirring trouble," Alston shouted at Sabina as he seemed to lose his cool, finally. He could never let Sabina ruin his plan.
"Oh... Alston, are you getting frightened? Are you scared that if Prince Basil is still alive, the fact that you framed him up will be exposed?" Sabina answered gamely, unafraid of Alston's threats.
As soon as she said these, the crowd burst into an uproar, as everyone looked shocked by her words. They watched their exchange with narrowed eyes, as they also felt that there was something more to this situation than what they already knew.
"How dare you spread rumors and frame me! Guards, arrest her!" Alston ordered as his face darkened with fury. As soon as he gave the order, several masters at the Supernal Stage surrounded Sabina.
"Brother, she was just telling the truth. You don't have to be so angry, do you?" At this moment, a calm voice suddenly came from the crowd.
And everyone was struck dumb when they heard the voice.
Soon, a figure walked out from the crowd. He looked very inconspicuous, as he was wearing plain clothes and a rugged, old bamboo hat. Under the watchful eyes of the group, he walked to Sabina and nodded slightly to her.
When Sabina saw him, she heaved a sigh of relief.
At the sight of the man with a bamboo hat, Alston was shocked because the man had called him his brother.
Everyone present started whispering among themselves as they tried to guess the man's identity.
"Isn't he the mysterious man who defeated the powerful warriors of the royal family in the competition for marriage held by the Ji Clan?" This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Yes, it's him!"
"What's more, he beat a peerless master at the Divine Stage in a single move."
"Did he just call the acting emperor 'brother'? Who on earth is he?"
In an instant, the buzzing of voices drowned out the whole square.
"Are you the one who killed Jason? Who are you?" Alston shouted angrily, glaring at the man fiercely.
"If I tell you, will you believe me? What if I were a ghost, won't you be afraid?" The man in the bamboo hat suddenly let out a peal of faint laughter, and then he slowly took off his bamboo hat, revealing his face.
And when Alston saw the man's face, he was dumbfounded, and his mouth opened and closed in dismay. His hands trembled by his side. The man in front of him was no other than Basil, or Rocky, who should be dead already!
"How are you, Miss Shirley and Chief Bryant?" Rocky turned away from Alston and cupped his hands at Bryant and Shirley.
"You are..." Both Bryant and Shirley were stunned.
However, no one present could recognize that the man in front of them was Basil.
"Chief Bryant, he is Prince Basil," Sabina intercepted when she saw that they couldn't tell who he was.
As soon as those words fell from her lips, the whole square fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other, flabbergasted, for they didn't expect that the mysterious person who had appeared two times in the Ji Mansion and shown his skills before was the dead Prince Basil. This was unbelievable!
