My Waste Husband

Chapter 1261

Anteo shouted loudly, "Henry the sinner, surrender yourself!"

Henry shrugged his shoulders.

Anteo waited for a few seconds. When he saw that Henry had no intention of retaliating, he waved his hand and two men came up tied Henry up with ropes.

This act of tying him up in ropes was obviously just for formality's sake.

Henry was then escorted out of the City Lord's Mansion by Anteo. Many people outside the City Lord's Mansion watched as this scene unfurled.

Anteo took the lead in spreading this piece of news. Claiming that the sinner Henry joined forces with the demonic beasts to frame Knox with intentions to take over Eastern City by force, and added that the Chu Family was affiliated with Henry, saying that the demonic beasts attacked the city because the Chu Family had entered the city and attracted them over!

This news from Anteo's mouth and spread all over Eastern City like wildfire.

Having just experienced all of that, the hatred of the survivors towards the demonic beasts had already bore deep into their bones. The man who had appeared and filled the sky with purple divine light was originally the hero in their hearts. However, at that moment, the image of him being a hero had completely been destroyed and had turned into a sinner. Waves of cursing and swearing erupted from the citizens.

Outside the home of the Chu Family, an angry crowd had already gathered there.

There was a celestial prison in Eastern City, where criminals who were guilty of sexual assault were locked up.

Henry, who had his limbs bound, was brought there and thrown into a cell.

This cell, was exactly like the cells in historical costume movies, its cell bars were made of blocks of wood, it could not keep ordinary beings who possessed some skills in, let alone an expert in Qi- control.

Anteo ordered the men to throw Henry in there, then left.

As for the rope that tied Henry up, it was just for show. It had already fallen off naturally by that time.

The cell was dark and damp without a single ray of light. Being in there brought extreme discomfort.

"Hey, isn't that the righteous Henry? Why is he also locked up in here?" A sarcastic voice sounded from the opposite direction of Henry.

Henry then looked to the opposite direction. It was a cell filled with many people, but Henry did not recognise any of them.

"Why, isn't this the great hero who saved Eastern City, the one who spoke of righteousness and morality? How did he also end up here?"

"He's probably the first cardinal to be imprisoned in the celestial prison of his own city, hahaha!"

"To even cooperate with those demons, what a piece of sh*t!"

Curses erupted one after another.

"Alright, that's enough talking." A voice rang out from the depths of the cell. The shouting crowd obediently shut their mouths the moment they heard this voice.

Henry could recognise that this voice belonged to Knox.

Henry gently waved his hand, and the gate of the cell in front of him opened automatically. Henry stepped out of the cell and walked over to the opposite cell. Then he waved his hand again, and the gate of it was easily opened as well.

"What are you doing!"

When the men in the cell saw Henry approach, wary expressions showed across their faces.

"Let me guess." Henry smiled and said, "Did that Anteo announce that he possessed evidence of me joining forces with the Chu Family to cooperate with the demonic beasts? Then told you people to accept that as a fact, and promised to grant all of you freedom after he had gotten rid of the Chu Family and I?"

The people in the cell did not reply.

Henry smiled slightly. "Looks like my guesses were correct."

Henry stepped into the cell.

"Henry, what are you trying to do?!" Someone shouted.

Henry stretched out his hand and pointed to the deepest end of the crowd. "I'd like to have a chat with Knox."

Someone shouted again, "Our Lord has no interest in talking to you. Leave at once!"

"Pay attention to my words." A flash of purple light appeared in Henry's hand. "I said that I'd like to have a chat with him. I don't care if he's interested, got it? Now, get lost!"

The moment Henry uttered the words "get lost", the members of the Colver Family who stood in his way all stepped back almost simultaneously to make way for Henry.

With Henry's capabilities, he could be said to have absolute power in there.

Henry made his way through the crowd of the Colver Family and saw Knox sitting in the deepest end of the cell.

Knox looked at Henry with complete disgust in his eyes. Earlier, he had heard that Henry, the Bishop of the Eastern Continent, had coordinated with the demons, resulting in the Red Cardinal, Cleve Chai, to sustain serious injuries.

"Haha, lord of the Eastern City, I thought that only those who allied with demons would be given this kind of treatment. What a surprise to see that even you are being treated like that. I am the first cardinal to be thrown into the jail of my city, and you are also the first city lord to share the same fate."

"Take your nonsense elsewhere, Henry." One of the members of the Colver Family yelled, "We are just here temporarily. Once people like you who have allied with the demons have been disposed, our Colver Family will be free!"

"Haha. what wishful thinking!" Henry sneered.

"Henry, what are you sneering about?"

"At how naive you all are, of course." Henry shrugged. "Haven't any of you wondered how

Anteo would suddenly come on with a plan like this. Plus with what I am capable of, do you think Anteo would even be able to throw me into this prison? I'm sure all of you still don't know that after you lot were locked up here, at least ten experts of the Divine Realm arrived at Eastern City, and Anteo has already been appointed as the acting city lord of Eastern City. Moreover, in his public announcement, I, Henry, have already killed every member of the Colver Family. In the eyes of

others, all of you are already dead men. You people spend so much time in political tactics, I'm sure you can see the problem in this."

The expression of the people from the Colver Family darkened a little.

The title of "acting city lord" was obviously just an excuse to take over the power of Eastern City before he sat on the throne.

"Henry, you are telling us this just to ridicule us, aren't you?" One of them said gloomily.

"I'm not that bored." Henry shook his head. "I'm just here to cooperate with the lord of the Eastern City."

"I'm not interested." Knox said bluntly. "I, Knox, will definitely not cooperate with scum like you who would ally with demonic beasts." "Calm down, Lord of Eastern City." Henry smiled and said, "It's still not too late to make a decision after hearing me out. Eastern City is still in a mess, and the demonic beasts haven't completely disappeared yet. The citizens now have too much on their minds to think carefully, they now believe whatever the authorities say. Now that they are spreading the news that every one of the Colver Family has been killed, Anteo would instantly be overthrown the moment you step out of here and testify for me. After that is done, you will still be the Lord of Eastern City, and as for the Chu Family, I will make them obey you, that way, the Colver Family shall still reign supreme in Eastern City. As for me, I will leave and go about my business as the cardinal. What do you think?"

"Did I stutter?" Knox replied sternly. "I said I won't cooperate with scum who allied with the demonic beasts!"

"I gave you face, yet you just tossed it away like it was trash." Henry's eyes turned grim as he grabbed Knox by the neck. "Lord of Eastern City, I am advising you to rethink your decision. Either you cooperate with me, or every single member of your beloved Colver Family shall die in here."
