I Am Unstoppable novel

Chapter 409 The Leyrudon Scheme

Jonathan deliberately dragged out his words all of a sudden. “Or perhaps... none of you actually acknowledge my existence?”

The four archdukes and thirty-six viscounts were dumbstruck.

He added authoritatively, “Our revered ancestor appointed me as King, so I am your legitimate ruler. I can't allow my subjects to show loyalty to another individual. If anyone dares to beg mercy for Titus again, they'll be exiled immediately and never be allowed to return to the vampire race!”

The crowd could see that the young king was truly enraged.

Concurrently, Solorel peered at Jonathan approvingly.

He hadn't planned to kill Titus at first. However, Titus was simply too insolent, and that really got on Solorel's nerves. Initially, the prince was worried Jonathan would request him to spare Titus. If that had happened, he wouldn't be able to object. Now that Jonathan had made his intentions clear, Solorel felt a weight lift off his chest.

Next, he stepped forward and uttered, “You all heard what His Majesty said, right? Who else dares to oppose His Majesty and demand Titus' release?”

Needless to say, not a single soul had the nerve to speak for Titus again.

Jonathan then descended the stage and arrived before Titus. The latter glared at the king. “I dare you, you little b*stard!”

Smack! Without hesitation, Jonathan slapped Titus fiercely and exclaimed, “There's nothing I won't dare to do!”

That rendered the crowd speechless. None of them had expected Jonathan to lay a hand on Titus in public.

Fuming, Titus growled, “You have some nerve to—”

Jonathan snickered. “You're doomed today, Titus Langston. Do you know why? It's because you're as dumb as a pile of rocks. If you'd acted a little more wisely, you would've been pardoned today. Do you genuinely believe they're pleading for leniency on your behalf because you're a prestigious and favored figure? What a joke. They're merely doing this because they're afraid of your son, Anakin. If you think I'm scared of him as well, then you're sorely mistaken. You should've thought about this more carefully. Even if I don't kill you today and treat you with esteem, you'll still cause trouble with your son in the future. In that case, I might as well give your son an excuse to wage war today! Bring me the spike, Walrion!”

Hesitantly, Walrion glimpsed at Solorel.

The prince nodded in response. Then, without delay, Walrion delivered the spike to Jonathan. Upon receiving the weapon, Jonathan grabbed Titus' head and stabbed the spike into the latter's throat ruthlessly.

In that instant, Jonathan's countenance was ferocious as blood poured out of Titus' wound like a fountain.

Titus wished to speak, but he couldn't make any recognizable sounds.

With that, Jonathan hurled the spike to the ground and left.

“You're dismissed, everyone.” After addressing the crowd, Solorel turned to Walrion. “Watch Titus until he's bled dry before cremating him. Afterward, have someone deliver his ashes to Anakin's fief, Soblonaro.”
