Chapter 459: Dealing with an Atrox Duke (I)
William and Astrid’s eyes widened as they heard those words, and they could not believe what they just heard. However, just as hope was about to emerge in their hearts, the looks on their faces hardened. The young Atrox remained silent, but the Duke’s eyes grew emotionless.
The Scarlet King felt his instincts screaming danger but did not lose his calm. The duo’s reaction was not surprising, as he would have acted the same way if someone had told him that they could bring back to life the person who was currently lying in a special coffin in his space ring.

Giving hope to someone was extremely dangerous. If they thought you were playing with them, it could lead to them unleashing their fury on you. Of course, since the Scarlet King knew all of this, he was ready to face the wrath and coldness in their hearts.
"I understand that you might doubt me. After all, with your power and background, I am sure that every specialist and healer in the continent has seen Astrid, and they all came to the same conclusion. She could not be healed."
Astrid’s fists tightened as she heard those words since she had not forgotten the sense of hope that every new master generated, but in the end, they all failed. It came to the point that having hope was just too painful.
"I understand the impact of my words, but I assure you I would not say them if I was not certain."
Astrid’s fists softened as she heard those words since it meant that Kain was not just carelessly talking and might really have a way to help her. As for her father, his eyes grew cold, a significant improvement from the emotionless slaughter intent he was hiding before.
"Continue."
William only uttered that word, and his eyes burned with silver light. There was no price he would not be willing to pay to help his daughter so she could live a very long life. Still, he did not lose himself in hope and kept a cold mind.
