Chapter 264: Chapter 186 Lynn: I Surrender (6k)_2
There was no intention of exchanging blows. From the onset, they played their trump cards.
Not only the Punisher squad, but even the members of the Military Department and the Heavenly Principle Church took out their respective Sealed Objects, watching the black-haired youth with vigilant expressions.
To capture him, all parties had paid a substantial price.
At least for the Punisher Captain, who was about to be promoted to the Fourth Rank, the scale he held in his hand was an extremely powerful Level 1 Sealed Object.
It was named “Judge’s Scale”.
In terms of rank, it was on the same level as the Endless Silk in Lynn’s possession, which had not yet been fully developed.
Even a Fourth Rank Transcendent, when facing the interference of a Level 1 Sealed Object, would find it very difficult to offer any effective resistance.
Because such high-grade Sealed Objects often involve rules and authority, one could only be at the mercy of others unless they were demigod or above.
If this was the case for the Fourth Rank, what about him as a Second Rank?
Even so, the Transcendents from the three factions did not take him lightly at this moment.
Solely because the person before them had, within the short week of his return to the Imperial Capital, consecutively committed several shocking acts.
Could someone who had emerged unscathed from those significant events just quietly stay here and await death?
Therefore, the persuasion to surrender was merely lip service; everyone was ready for a fight at a moment’s notice.
Even without considering this individual’s methods, the mere fact that the Fourth Prince was currently being held hostage was enough to ensure they gave their all.
More importantly, there was the promise of a Holy Spirit Tree Branch from Saint Laurent VI.
This was enough to drive anyone to frenzy.
The squads from the three major factions had all received orders from above to capture Lynn first and foremost, to exchange him for a reward from the Emperor.
As the Punisher Captain’s voice faded, Lynn did not respond immediately.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into a brief silence.
Just as the Punisher Captain holding the Judge’s Scale was growing impatient, Lynn finally spoke.
His answer was very brief.
“Since that’s the case, then don’t blame us… Huh?”
The Punisher Captain, just about to activate the effect of the Sealed Object, suddenly realized something.
After hearing Lynn’s response, he was stunned for a few seconds, then looked around as if he had seen a ghost.
After reading similar thoughts on the faces of his subordinates and peers, he took a deep breath.
As if afraid he had misheard, the Punisher Captain cautiously probed.
“I said, I surrender.” Lynn suddenly raised his hand to release the Endless Silk laid in the dark and then slowly raised both hands, “You can catch me now and claim your reward.”
This move instantly caused complete silence to fall over the room.
At that moment, including Fourth Prince Joshua, everyone had this thought in their minds.
Are you saying that after making such a big fuss, with assassination of legislators and kidnapping of princes, it was all just for some showmanship?
Who would believe that!
With this in mind, the alertness in everyone’s eyes intensified.
Seeing this, Lynn let out a gentle sigh.
In fact, the moment Amputator Burshman did not appear first at the old factory, he was quite aware that his plan was more or less a failure.
Now facing the assault of more than a dozen Transcendents, even if he put up a fierce fight, the odds seemed rather grim.
Especially with three High Sequence Level Sealed Objects present, he likely didn’t have much room to resist.
Of course, Lynn still had one more ace up his sleeve.
But that ace was ultimately reserved to deal with the Amputator.
After all, he is a Fourth Rank Transcendent, just a step away from ascending to the Fifth Rank. To defeat him, some cost must be incurred.
Unfortunately, the enemies he faced at the moment were not the Amputator, but the Imperials’ Transcendents.
Truly using that last ace against these fellows, Lynn felt somewhat reluctant.
Thus, he could only resort to the backup plan.
He truly wished to surrender.
“If you don’t believe it, you can throw the shackles over, and I’ll put them on myself,” Lynn sighed, trying to show his sincerity.
But the opposite party did not accept this proposal.
Who knows if this was a lie from this guy in order to escape from here!
“No need,” upon hearing this, the Punisher Captain, along with the leaders of the Military Department and the Heavenly Principle Church, exchanged glances and then spoke indifferently, “You just need to stand still.”
Saying this, he took a Gold Coin from his pocket and lightly tossed it onto the left scale of the Judge’s Scale.
The crisp sound spread through the whole old factory like a wave of sound.
In an instant, the invisible power of rules descended there.
“I request a judgment: for the price of one Gold Coin, temporarily strip ‘Lynn Bartleion’ of all desires,”
All desires, of course, included the will to live and the intent to kill.
In other words, if this judgment truly took effect, then for the next few minutes, Lynn would be in a state of indifference and desirelessness, unable to resist.
This was the best usage derived after countless attempts by the most violent and wicked prisoners.
And the price was only a Gold Coin.
As the Punisher Captain’s words concluded, the Judge’s Scale seemed to respond to his aura, and in an instant, it burst into a dazzling and blinding light!
At that moment, a mark resembling a scale appeared above Lynn’s head.
As certain intangible emotions and desires were rapidly pulled from his body, he suddenly felt his will sink to an unprecedented low, and with drooping shoulders, he slowly sat down on the ground.
