The prime ministers who already foresaw their impending deaths suddenly had nothing to lose. They opened their mouths and began to rebuke Yeoh Jun's actions to his face.
"You fabricated evidence against us just to gain power..."
"Yes, this is all your design. Who knows if this story about the Republic is even true...."
"You probably colluded with the Republic just to overthrow the elected government..."
They spoke over each other shouting excitedly as though afraid that no one would hear them.
Zi Xingxi drew the Executioner's Blight with a whoosh. She was about to take a step forward and directly end their lives as she was in every right to do so when Yeoh Jun placed his hand over hers.
He convinced her to sheath the sword and Zi Xingxi could only take a step back. The soft gaze he had on his face when facing Zi Xingxi vanished completely when he stood up and looked at them.
