Counterfeit Hero

"Additionally, there’s a coup happening in Gazalin! We don’t know the specifics yet, but..." Oberto waved his hand in front of Fatty’s dazed eyes and said, "The reconnaissance soldier ahead observed that the special forces of the Royal Investigation Bureau are attacking the fighting arena. Accompanying them is a group of mercenaries. We initially suspect that Bruce and Stephen are behind the coup!"

"Oh?" Tian Xingjian’s eyes lit up. This was a perfect opportunity to fish in troubled waters and settle personal grudges. If he could capture Bruce in one fell swoop, cut off his restless second in command, and then capture James and Stephen and take them back to the Federation, that would be perfect! Ann Lei would be safe, he would be safe, the Federation would win, and the war would end! Fatty triumphant!

However, leading people to fish in troubled waters himself was rather difficult. Hesitating for only two seconds, Fatty made a decisive decision. As the saying goes, you seek wealth within danger, and another saying goes, if you’re unwilling to sacrifice the child, you can’t catch the wolf. At worst, he’ll just risk it again; after all, they’re other people’s kids!

This scoundrel ordered, "Immediately release all prisoners and have them assemble. I want to offer them a way out!"

For the sake of the throne, was it really worth it for him to do this?

He could have stopped this from happening before his two brothers started the coup, but he ultimately followed Philip’s arrangement, using this coup to ascend to the peak of power in one stroke.

After today, he would become utterly alone. No father, no brothers. Completing the transfer of power through betrayal—could this be the ultimate fate of the Morton family?
