Chapter 296. All Those Years, and Still Nothing Learned? (2)
“You insolent wretch!” King Gordon II of the Zion Kingdom exploded with fury, jabbing a finger at Caron. The maniac from the Ducal Family of Leston was unmistakably holding his son by the collar.
“Release my son this instant!” Gordon shouted.
But Caron only let out a snort of laughter and gave Prince Goron a little shake as if he was checking the ripeness of a melon. He replied, “Oh, so this punk’s dad is you?”
“How dare you! Who do you think you are, pulling this madness in a place meant for the leaders of nations?!” Gordon II raged.
But the newly crowned King Kali III of the Neon Kingdom, who sat beside him, gave a visible shudder and muttered under his breath, “Gordon II, if I were you, I’d shut my mouth and take a seat right now.”
The Zion Kingdom and the Neon Kingdom had been blood-sworn enemies for generations. Their history was one of endless war, and even though Kali III had only recently ascended the throne, relations between the two nations remained frigid at best.
Yet even so, Kali offered that warning without hesitation. The reason for that was simple.
If that Mad Dog goes off the leash, no one’s going to stop him, Kali thought.
He knew all too well who that young man with piercing blue eyes was. It was Caron Leston. A so-called hero, praised across the continent...
What a joke.
Kali III still remembered clearly the day Caron had come to the palace of the Neon Kingdom.
“If anyone even thinks about messing around, I’ll come find you and cut your damn throat. Got it? Give me a nod if you understand.”
