Chapter 725 The Defenseless King

Their priority now was to clean Balthazar’s residence, both inside and out. Lyndon, who was heavily injured, watched as Jerry and his sons came out of the chamber smugly. He knew that disaster was about to befall Balthazar.

“What did you do to His Majesty?” Lyndon asked anxiously.

“We didn’t injure him. We just fed him a pill so that he would sleep well,” Jerry said smugly.

“Jerry Andrews, you bastard! How dare you commit such a heinous act of treason? You’ll suffer the worst death possible!” Lyndon cursed.

At this moment, a round pill flew into Lyndon’s mouth. He asked furiously, ” What… What the hell is this?”

Jethro said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Gorp. The pill I fed you is just a sleep–inducing pill. You’ve been exhausted recently, and I worry that your body can’t handle it. Have some rest now that you can!”

After a short while, Lyndon felt a wave of dizziness overcome him. Soon, he felt the world in front of him begin to blur. One minute later, Lyndon collapsed to the floor, eyes shut tight and body completely still.

“When he wakes up, he, like the King, will be for us to manipulate as we please, Mr. Andrews,” Jethro said.

“Great. Clean the residence quickly so that nobody notices that something’s out of the ordinary,” Jerry said.

“Yes, Mr. Andrews!” the men from Skyarch Palace answered. Next, they took action and moved all the dead bodies

away.

Only when it was almost daybreak was the residence reverted to normal. The floors appeared to be clean. The blood staining the floors had been washed. The men from Skyarch Palace put on the outfits of Balthazar’s guards to impersonate them.

Only at the break of dawn did Balthazar regain his consciousness. He asked, somewhat confused, “Where am I?”

Jerry, his sons, and the members of Skyarch Palace were all waiting for Balthazar to regain consciousness. Jerry said, “This is your residence, Your Majesty. This is the hidden chamber in your room.”

“The hidden chamber? What did I come here for?” Balthazar was confused. He
