Chapter 190 Disqualification
Medusa's gaze, petrification, and murder of the second in line to the throne.

The news Hugo brought back was simple and clear, and everything pointed to Sophie.

Although everyone knows that the rules of the hunting ground are that all abilities, skill books and props are prohibited.

At last it was announced by the old Marquis that the hunt was officially over.

The system runs automatically and temporarily revokes all werewolves in the non-safe area.The Capet family sent special personnel to search in the unsafe area, and brought back a total of nine corpses and a stone sculpture.

Ye Qing noticed that the ten victims who were brought back were all candidate heirs of Capet's family, not including servants.

But in reality, Hired suffered more casualties.

Obviously, there is no need for the hired corpses to be recovered.

While the body was being recovered, the Capet family began to have lunch.

Sophie just smiled and stood quietly away from the open-air banquet. She didn't take the seat, and naturally she didn't bring red wine to pay tribute to old Henry like other heir candidates did.

The luncheon was over soon, and old Henry had also grasped the situation of all the dead.

"Boris, Jacques, Claude, and Elena all have fatal wounds from werewolves."

"Louis, Sammy and Melanie died of poisoning, and there were unfinished wild fruits next to their bodies."

"Laurent and Matthew fell to their deaths from a high place. They were probably chased by a werewolf before they died, and they ran near the cliff in a panic."

"As for Isabel..."

Old Henry spoke slowly, his gaze finally resting on Sophie Capet for a long time.

That look seemed to be staring at a dead person, or looking forward to her death.

Ye Qing clearly felt that when the old man's eyes fell on Sophie, she visibly trembled, but the iconic smile on Sophie's face never changed.

"Grandpa, you should know that it's impossible to use abilities in the hunting ground." Sophie said obediently.

"But you are the only [Descendant of Medusa] with the ability in the entire western region!" A candidate heir shouted loudly. "No one can petrify anyone but you!"

"Yes! Except for you, none of us have this ability!"

"Sophie, admit it? You killed sister Isabel!"

More and more candidate heirs joined the camp of denouncing Sophie.

Ye Qing suddenly wanted to laugh.

This family was really impersonal. They knew they were talking nonsense, but they didn't mind taking the opportunity to frame and discredit Sophie Capet.

Among the ten heirs who died, Ye Qing can only confirm that Isabel was petrified by that Medusa.

As for whether the other victims died at the hands of werewolves, or were framed by others, Ye Qing doesn't know.

But at least, Ye Qing simply didn't believe that such childish reasons as getting lost and falling off a cliff or accidentally eating poisonous wild fruits happened to a group of S-level challengers.

Even, that Medusa may not be a system bug, she may have been placed there artificially.

Therefore, it was still a certain successor of the Capet family who really killed Isabel!

"They were all victims of murder, and they all chose to frame Sophie?"

Ye Qing now feels that there is a title that suits Sophie very well.

The blame man.

"I'm old... and my memory is already very bad."

The old Marquis Henry Capet spoke slowly, and as soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.

"But I still barely remember that ten years ago, there was a bug in the dungeon [Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone]. Three challengers from our Capet family met the resurrected Voldemort, and all died under Avada Kedavra."

"Seven years ago, there was a bug in the dungeon [Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl]. My nephew Alan Capet had just won the trust of Captain Jack and boarded the Black Pearl. The entire ship was attacked by a Norse monster. Everyone on board died instantly, and the Kraken should never have appeared in this copy."

Having said that, the old Marquis paused for a moment, looking around at everyone present.

"I have been in the world of reincarnation for decades, and I have indeed seen several system bugs, and the cause is still unknown. However, since the bug exists, if someone tells me that there is also a bug in the hunting ground, so that some people's abilities can actually Using it, I wouldn't be surprised at all."

After hearing this sentence, everyone couldn't help but glanced at Sophie Capet.

The schadenfreude in those eyes was already undisguised.

"This old man...is he old and confused?" A thought flashed in Ye Qing's mind, but he immediately overturned it. "No, he's wide awake."

Sometimes, some people rely on their own power to forcibly turn unreasonable into reasonable, just to achieve their ulterior secrets.

Ye Qing has never forgotten that he learned the idiom 'referring to a deer as a horse' when he was a child.

"Do I still have the right to argue?" Sophie asked with a smile.

She was still smiling, but her eyes were empty, like a soulless marionette.

The old Marquis didn't answer her words at all, but announced like everyone present.

"I, Henry Capet, the No.20 ninth-generation patriarch of the Capet family, hereby declare that Sophie Capet has committed the unforgivable Mistake, so far she has been deprived of her qualifications as the fifth heir forever..."

The words of the old marquis were lengthy and Shen Ke, like a troubadour who sang obscure and difficult ancient poems thousands of years ago.

But except for Sophie Capet, all the candidates for heirs listened attentively, as if they were afraid of missing any word.

In the end, apart from Sophie being deprived of her qualifications as an heir candidate and all of the family property, there was no more punishment for her 'murderer'.

Even Ye Qing was curious, wouldn't it be necessary to kill her, maybe at least imprison her for decades?

"Are you surprised?" Sophie suddenly said softly.

Ye Qing nodded.

"The fact that I would be disqualified as an heir was already predictable when I rejected the marriage proposal of the Marquis of Fasha. Besides disqualification and confiscation of family property, Grandpa has no more authority to punish me."

Hearing this, Ye Qing showed a puzzled expression.

Sophie still said softly: "Murder is of course a felony, but according to the family rules, grandpa can only do so much. If I go through judicial procedures to sentence me in reality, it will appear that there is insufficient evidence."

"I understand." Ye Qing nodded.

The Capet family just wanted to deprive Sophie of her inheritance. As for the truth of the murder, it didn't really matter.

They were even more afraid of judicial intervention than Sophie. After all, if the truth was found out and she was found innocent, it would be a waste of work.

"President Sophie."

"Ok?"

"What does being confiscated of family property mean to you?"

If [Medusa Mercenary Corps] is disbanded, Ye Qing should find another guild.

After all, there is no news about Broken Blade yet.

There was a hint of playfulness in Sophie's soft voice.

"Sorry, my dear chef, [Medusa Mercenary Corps] was founded by me with a loan, and has nothing to do with family property. In fact, my parents' estate has been frozen, and I have never spent a penny. It's just From now on, that inheritance belongs to my grandfather."
