Chapter 2482

“The City Guard Commander? The Grand Secretary of Dragon Pavilion?”

Adonis’s eyes widened in shock as he recognized the two men before him. His expression was one of sheer disbelief. “You… how did you both end up like this?”

He was truly stunned. These were not ordinary men—they were influential figures in West Lucozia, men whose presence commanded respect wherever they went. They had once stood at the pinnacle of power, yet now, in a single night, they had been reduced to disheveled prisoners.

“Austin! You’ve gone too far!” Adonis hesitated for a moment before his anger exploded. His tone changed as he directly confronted Austin. “Do you even realize what you’re doing? These men are pillars of West Lucozia! They are the prince’s most trusted advisors! They are also your mentors and elders! And yet, you’ve treated them like this? Are you even human?!”

“That’s right! These two have served our country with unwavering loyalty. What crime have they committed to deserve such humiliation from you, young prince?!”

Many officials joined in, condemning Austin.
