Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game
#378 - A cornered dog will jump over the wall
Actually, Soren didn't mind contributing the cement production process at all.
Because he had already built almost ten cement workshops, which are now called factories.
They use the latest magic technology and equipment, and their production efficiency is ten or even dozens of times higher than that of ordinary factories,
resulting in a considerable output.
After all, he would need to manage the country for a long time to come.
In the corner, Ruster was staring intently at the talking and laughing Soren with malicious eyes,
constantly plotting his revenge in his heart.
Just as the banquet was halfway through, the lights suddenly flickered, and the entire hall was plunged into darkness.
A burst of panicked screams erupted from the crowd.
When the lights came on again, everyone was surprised to find Soren lying on the ground with a sword stuck in his chest.
Princess Wenna covered her mouth in horror. Although she didn't directly see the murderer at the scene, she was very clear in her heart that this matter must be related to Ruster.
She just never expected that Ruster would do such a crazy thing on such an important occasion.
Empress Maria also attended such banquets.
When she saw Soren injured and falling to the ground, her eyes instantly turned red. The aura around her body suddenly surged, and as an eighth-tier late-stage mage, her powerful aura directly emanated, forcing back the people around Soren.
Neumann and Horns also turned red-eyed as they looked at Soren lying in a pool of blood.
Compared to Leinskey, who appeared to be the most harmonious with Soren, Neumann and Horns truly regarded Soren as the empire's future successor.
Empress Maria roared angrily, "Who is it? Who did this?"
Empress Maria, at this moment, was in a trance, her face as pale as paper.
A hint of surprise flashed in Empress Nina's eyes. She thought that if Soren really died, the position of Crown Prince would be vacant and would need to be re-competed for.
Nicholas had already been exiled to his fief, and both Yaso and Korena were in the Northwest. In this situation, the most powerful contender for the position of Crown Prince was her son, Samuel.
Empress Nina never expected such a pie to fall from the sky.
Hiding in the crowd, Ruster's face was pale, but his eyes flickered with crazy delight. He thought to himself, "Soren, this is the price you pay for angering me!"
Emperor Gustav's face was extremely gloomy, and Empress Elizabeth hurried over, supported by her two daughters.
Empress Elizabeth said anxiously, "Quick, go and invite Bishop Buffett! Where are the healers?"
The entire banquet hall was in chaos.
At this moment, Shadow quietly appeared beside Gustav and whispered something in his ear.
After listening, a fierce light flashed in Gustav's eyes, and he angrily scolded, "You bastard!"
Just when everyone thought Soren had met with misfortune, Soren suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
Empress Maria, who was fully channeling magic power into Soren to stop the bleeding, was stunned in place.
The originally noisy banquet hall suddenly became silent at this moment.
In fact, all of this was a carefully set up by Soren.
He had long anticipated that Ruster would seek an opportunity to retaliate against him, so he had prepared a substitute puppet in advance,
and deliberately relaxed his vigilance at the banquet to lure Ruster to take the bait.
Soren stood up from the ground and lightly patted the non-existent dust on his body.
He looked at Ruster and said, "Ruster, you really have gone mad."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow teleported behind Ruster and subdued him with one hand.
Then, Shadow quickly found a magic item on Ruster's body, which was a device that could launch weapons. As long as a short sword was loaded into the launching port of the device, it could be fired at the target. It possessed a very strong magic-breaking effect and could easily pierce through the magic protection or shield of an eighth-tier powerhouse.
At the same time, several Shadow Guards who followed Shadow also escorted several servants over.
Only then did Ruster realize that he had fallen into Soren's carefully designed trap. He looked at Soren in despair and said in disbelief, "How could you—"
Soren looked at the subdued Ruster and said coldly, "I warned you before not to sink deeper and deeper on the wrong path. I originally thought you would know when to stop, but I didn't expect you to be so foolish. Did you really think I would let you succeed without any precautions?"
At this time, the banquet hall was shrouded in silence, and everyone was immersed in this shocking reversal,
as if time had stopped.
Empress Maria was furious. She slammed a fist into Soren's head, the force of which made Soren kneel on one knee.
Seeing Empress Maria's red eyes and unabated anger, Soren smiled sheepishly, not daring to meet her majestic gaze.
In fact, Soren had secretly met with Shadow two days ago.
He revealed to Shadow that someone might assassinate him, and also showed his tolerance, saying that he was willing to give this potential assassin a chance.
As long as the other party could rein in at the edge of the cliff, he could pretend that nothing had happened, and regard this person as having reformed.
Shadow was an extremely intelligent person. He associated it with the Crown Prince's usual style. Even in the face of his eldest brother's repeated assassinations, Soren did not retaliate after his eldest brother left the fief.
Judging from the Crown Prince's broad-mindedness, Shadow deduced that the person who wanted to assassinate him this time was likely also a prince, and the Crown Prince still wanted to give the other party a chance.
It can be seen from this series of events that the persona that Soren had established in the palace had taken root in people's hearts.
This was also why Gustav was so angry when Shadow told him the reason for Soren's assassination.
A fierce light flashed in Gustav's eyes, and he said sternly to Soren, "Soren, this time you will personally interrogate him. I only want the result. I absolutely do not want such a thing to happen again."
Gustav admired Soren's benevolence towards his siblings. At least after his death, as long as these children did not rebel, Soren would be able to let them live well.
However, he did not agree with Soren's overly tolerant attitude.
Being assassinated by his own brothers time and time again, and Soren indulged them all the time. If he really ascended the throne in the future,
then that would be terrible. How could the throne be stable.
