The Third Prince Zhu Kun failed to return home overnight, and no news of his whereabouts came through. All the Talisman Communications sent out from his Prince Mansion also disappeared without a trace, like clay oxen sinking into the sea.
Out of sheer panic, the Grand Steward of Third Prince Zhu Kun's Prince Manor reported the matter to the Imperial Palace, and it didn't take long before Emperor Yuankang was alarmed.
The disappearance of a prince, especially one who could be an heir to the throne, immediately shook the entire Black Water King's City.
Once the Empire's machinery began to move at full force, its power was truly terrifying.
It took only two hours to discover the secret whereabouts of Third Prince Zhu Kun, and another two hours later, he was found in a rather secluded private residence.
However, what they found was the body of the Third Prince.
An unbearably gruesome corpse.
