Chapter 302: L - 302: Laura Went Mad
From the moment he learned that the Swift family had provoked the Oracle King, the White Dragon King had made up his mind—he would sever all ties with them, completely and publicly.
Maybe the Oracle King wasn't the vengeful type.
Maybe he didn't intend to retaliate against the Swift family anymore.
But...
The White Dragon King couldn't afford to gamble.
No one could.
No one in their right mind would risk their life or reputation for a family that had crossed the Oracle King.
If the Oracle King even suspected he was siding with the Swifts, it would be seen as a challenge to his authority. And that? That was a death sentence.
So when the perfect opportunity presented itself, the White Dragon King seized it. He distanced himself from the Swifts in a way that seemed justified—one life sacrificed for plausible deniability. His reputation remained spotless, and his allegiance unquestioned.
How clever.
"If Laura were merely your mistress, I might have agreed to your request. But since she's your wife, she's part of the Swift family. She must bear the consequences," he told Alger, coldly.
