Chapter 233: Null and void
At the Moon Clan Territory
Marcus looked at the photo on his table, letting out a frustrated sigh as he whispered, "How could you leave me like this, Yun... Right when I needed you the most, brother..."
His return should’ve been a joyous occasion. Instead, he was mourning for the brother that he had just lost. His brother, Yun, was the only one left that was his own flesh and blood, and to think that he was gone as well...
He gingerly held the frame, lifting it up as he murmured, "I’ve told you dozens of times not to act on impulse, but you never listen. How could you leave me like this, Yun?"
Marcus shook his head with a sigh. He was yet to investigate the matter regarding the sudden death of his brother. Unfortunately, there was simply too much left to be done. The amount of things he had to fix as soon as he came back had been daunting enough that he had to put his priorities aside in favor of focusing on getting his daughter back.
"Arthur... That bastard! Who would’ve thought that your son could come back like this?" Marcus clenched his jaw, the thought of how Arthur’s son managed to manipulate his daughter Raine making him fume with anger. "I’m not even sure whether to congratulate him for staying alive after all these years, or to pity him for the horrendous fate that’ll befall him once I get my hands on him..."
However, he must admit that Arthur’s was rather resourceful. Try as Marcus might, he still acknowledged the young man for making it this far. And to think that he even managed to use the Convel Society to his advantage as its new ruler? How clever.
"Your son even has the nerve to negotiate with me about peace talks, mentioning that my daughter is his mate so he’s willing to put the past behind," Marcus grumbled to himself. "To think that he even has the gall to discuss having peace talks with me... He’s too cocky for his own good!" he scoffed as if he was talking to dead Arthur in person.
Of course, Marcus would easily decline that offer as he’d always do. He would rather die than have some sort of agreement with those monsters, and he wouldn’t let that bastard have his daughter if it was the last thing he did.
