Chapter 607: I. SAID. GET. DOWN.
[PRESENT TIME]
"And you’re right, Silas. You’re not family. You’ve stopped being one the moment you thought of us as your enemies."
Silas held his breath as his pupils dilated, holding Dominic’s naturally sharp eyes. How did things turn out like this? The situation was still the same: Dominic and his men were still unarmed while Silas’s people were armed. Yet, why did it feel like he was trapped?
"He he... Silas, did you really think my brother — no. My sister is capable of forgiving?" After a few seconds of nothing but silence, Axel spoke again.
Silas and everyone instinctively set their eyes back on the screen on the stage. This time, they realized this wasn’t just a recorded video, but rather a live broadcast. Axel could see everything in real-time.
How?
"That mere woman you kept belittling will not even forgive who bullied our little ancestor." Axel let out a shallow breath. "I now understand your hatred toward us, but..."
His voice cracked as a thin layer of tears coated his eyes underneath his swollen eyelids. "But that doesn’t justify your actions. Silas, if you truly want revenge, then you should’ve targeted us directly. You should’ve just plotted for Grandma’s murder instead of dragging the innocent children into this unresolved family issue. Those kids... you were like them once. They are innocent and Basti doesn’t deserve to still be in a wheelchair."
"Hah..." Grandma Zhu let out a sneer, looking at her youngest grandson on the screen. "What a cheeky boy. How can she advise someone to plot my murder?"
