Chapter 956 coward
"Jabba you ungrateful bastard! I followed you in everything because you said that His Excellency had completely abandoned us and that he intended to wipe out the planet, but I will not agree with you on this one!!" One of the council elders shouted at the top of his voice in the Senate Hall, and behind him 4 other elders from different mutant races came to support him.
While Pythor and a number of his close entourage consisting of his sons and grandsons smiled as they watched the play, Jabba stood up angrily, "You too? Is this how you repay me after everything I have done for you?!"
"You have only done evil and brought us humiliation!" The eyes of the elder filled with tears, "You told us that we would form a large force to control the planet and gain His Excellency\'s respect, but you handed everything over to those damn snakes and stuck our heads in the mud! Don\'t you see what they do to our people in the streets? Will they give us any face or let us rule ourselves? What a damnable day we chose to follow you!" "Well that\'s no longer entertaining, kill them." Pythor waved slowly, and one of his entourage actually got up from his seat ready to clean up the place. "No!" But Jabba shouted angrily, "They are mine, those dogs I fed, strengthened, and elevated to the point where they finally dare to attack me?" Then Jabba pointed to a number of the sect guards, "Take them, throw them with the rest into the Death Desert Prison, and send all their family members with them!"
"No! Let me go! Kill me!!" The five tried to evade, but Jabba\'s bodyguards couldn\'t be stopped, and they quickly suppressed their inner energies to prevent them from any suicidal act.
In fact, this wasn\'t the first time that an elder had been arrested for objecting and thrown into the high-security Death Desert Prison. Ever since Marshal Lacrosse first appeared above the sect, the elders had gradually begun to object, and then Jabba\'s refusal to obey his Excellency\'s call for help made things worse.
After Pythor\'s arrival and the spread of corruption in the city and the realization of the downward spiral they found themselves in, some of them tried to assassinate Jabba, including Orzon, but of course, they failed, and all of them were arrested and sent to the worst prisons in the Northern Region where they were subjected to horrific torture day and night.
"Killing them is much easier." Pythor finally spoke as he saw the five elders being led outside.
"They should be an example, I can\'t let anyone question my authority." Jabba gripped both his hands tightly, then sat on his couch, leaning his head on his arm. He only had about 12 elders left, of which only 5 were fawning over the demi-snakes and doing their own thing while the other 7 were angry but silent.
"You give them too much recognition, Jabba." Pythor shook his head and looked longingly at the balcony, "You are a Truth Chosen, and the Truth Chosens are always second in command in great empires, your place is there beside the Overlord to aid him in his epic war, or beside me, to aid me in expanding my empire and make in the strongest in the Young Planetary Belt! The people of Nihari? Put them behind you already." Jabba looked up at Pythor, "Whether I go to the Overlord or stay here, the Overlord has promised me planet Nihari as my personal kingdom, please don\'t forget, Your Majesty." "Forget? Do you mean to insult His Majesty, shameless thing?" One of the Planetary Emperor\'s entourage looked Jabba up and down, "His Majesty speaks of a great future and you speak of the ownership of a planet that you will hand most of its treasures to the Overlord? How narrow-minded and foolish."
"...." Jabba kept his silence.
"Shhh Little Sixth, you should talk to Jabba better, no matter how much you you are stronger than him, he is still a Master Law user and has some significance." Pythor laughed but did not answer Jabba\'s inquiry about the ownership of the planet, he simply ignored him.
Pythor knew that there was already a rift in his relationship with them, so he looked at Jabba with some anger, "You there, as a disciple who followed the Third Truth Chosen like a dog for over four decades, what do you think his next move would be?"

A little angry, Jabba voiced: "Your Majesty, why don\'t you explain to us why you sent your three eldest sons to activate the Calamity Seal Cubes? The reason must be great for you to sacrifice them like this, the sight of them being dragged underground by their necks screaming like pigs was not pleasant at all."
Pythor opened his eyes wide and slowly turned towards Jabba with a smile, "Do you want to get to something, Mr. Chosen?" Pythor\'s gaze was as if he wanted to devour him!
"Haha of course not," Jabba raised both hands and looked back out the window, at the hundreds of thousands of Great Serpent soldiers training on the technique he had created especially for them.
As for Pythor, he felt piercing gazes on his body, they were from his other sons.
They were all happy that their ranking in power and status had increased after the top three were killed, but that did not prevent them from feeling a bit of danger.
Pythor furrowed his eyebrows at Jabba for a moment and then looked back out the balcony, "The cubes require a high level of energy to activate and a high familiarity with the path of destruction, I had to either sacrifice my eldest sons, or sacrifice the generals who were experienced in leading armies, so I chose my sons. I am sure that if my three sons knew, they would have chosen to go anyway, don\'t you agree?"
"Haha but of course, Your Majesty, it is an honor for them!" The sons of Pythor started to fake laugh, but inside they started to be suspicious of his decisions. Pythor knew that there was already a rift in his relationship with them, so he looked at Jabba with some anger, "You there, as a disciple who followed the Third Truth Chosen like a dog for over four decades, what do you think his next move would be?"
"...." Jabba remained silent for a while thinking, then he opened his mouth, "...He will start using the Shadow Swords and his other methods to unite the giants against us so that we can be busy with the north, then he will send his army to secure the southern space portal, and I think he will gather the refugees around it to give it another layer of protection, he does not care about the lives of the giants of the north or the refugees of the south, he just wants to keep us busy until he finds a new foothold for himself." Pythor furrowed his brows, "Is that all? We eliminated half of his demon army, and you were probably exposed as the traitor you are, and all he will do is secure a foothold..? Don\'t you expect him to try to attack by any means?" Jabba shook his head, "He is the type who plans for decades before doing something, the Calamity Seal Cube incident will stop his mind from thinking for a while, he will only take defensive options, he is too cowardly to take the initiative, you wait and see."
