Chapter 630 The Bloodletting Westerner
He should have known he couldn't escape his father-in-law's grip. Now the situation was clear: Zheng'er was the old Emperor’s grandson, and his son too. He, as a father, found no way out. He laughed twice, a hint of resignation in his voice, "How can it be against the natural order of things? Is it really that serious? Zheng'er is my son; of course, I should help him! But to place such a heavy burden solely on my shoulders seems ...

It seemed that everything had conspired to happen all at once—either nothing happened, or everything did. He hastened to the entrance with Luo Min and Xu Wei in tow, only to find that Gao Ping had already assisted the Emperor alighting from his palanquin.
Months had passed without a sighting of the Emperor, and he now appeared even more emaciated and feeble. His hair and beard had whitened, his eyes were lifeless, and he could s...

‘I felt more drained just from talking than I did after training for three days straight,’ he thought. By the time he finished speaking, the darkness outside the window had given way to a faint light. The tea in his mouth had grown cold. Yuder murmured, weighed down by fatigue.
"Do you know why I felt the need to share this story now?"
If anyone understood what he wanted to convey, it was probably Kishiar, perhaps even better than Yuder himse...

Kishiar was a man incredibly adept at reading the room, almost to the point where you might think he could read minds. Meeting Yuder's gaze, Kishiar seemed to immediately sense that Yuder hadn't just arrived. He maintained silence, offering no excuses.
Slowly, Yuder advanced until he stood close to him. He halted at a distance where he could reach out and touch the strategy game board on the table.
Even though he had only been here for less than ...

The lodging where Kishiar stayed was the largest room in an old mansion owned by the frugal and conservative Baron Koelt. The mansion had rooms with multiple purposes, all connected by a confusing array of doors. Anyone unfamiliar with the layout could easily find themselves wandering in circles, eventually ending up outside. It was an invaluable mechanism designed to protect the owner of the house.
Navigating through such a place in complete darkness ...

Upon hearing his voice, the woman's figure trembled lightly, and she quickly clutched his hands tightly, her delicate voice softly pleading, "I won't guess; if I guess correctly, I shall surely die!"
This girl, in her idle hours, must have read countless romance novels, for her words were almost unbearable to him! Lin Wanrong felt a sweetness and a tingle as he listened, and with a slight effort, he captured her tender wrists.

Feeling something was strange—it was a statement too vague to describe in detail, yet Nathan Zuckerman didn't ask Yuder what exactly he meant. He didn't even ask for a more detailed explanation.
Instead, he looked at Yuder thoughtfully for a long moment before asking just one question.
"When did you start feeling this way?"
When indeed? Yuder's memory...

It certainly wasn’t the mountain of paperwork piled up. Yuder moved a bit closer to discover that Kishiar was focused on an old strategy board game. He wasn't playing alone...

It was clear what Kishiar meant by 'that time.' It had to be the last day of Yuder's life that he had seen in his dream.
