Chapter 566 Prince Haddor's sneering expression suddenly froze.
At the stime, all the guests present fell silent out of fear. They all stared at the young man in trepidation.
' Malakai, why are you here?" Prince Haddor stood up from his chair and took two steps forward. His eyes were fixed squarely on the young man.
The young man smiled faintly. "I heard that Uncle was holding a banquet here, so | cto join in the fun." As he spoke, he looked at everyone present. Only then did everyone seem to cback to their senses. They stood up one after another and bowed. 'Greetings, Your Majesty!" Malakai Gibbethon took one glance at these people indifferently. These people were all fence sitters whose loyalty changed according to circumstances. He couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them, nor would he take them seriously.
Haddor was also stupid. It was really stupid of him to count on these people to consolidate his power.
Although Haddor seemed to be the stronger side now, if they really fought, Haddor might not really have the upper hand.
' Uncle, you still haven't toldwhy you are summoning the private army?’ Malakai asked again.
Before Haddor could speak, someone tried to curry favor with Prince Haddor and spoke up, "Your Majesty, it's because of these people. They're up to no good. Not only did they disrespect the Prince, but they even killed Commander Nikko. The Prince had no choice but to mobilize his private army in self-defense." Malakai glanced at the person who spoke and said, "Who are you? Who allowed you to speak?" That man froze. a He was only a leader of an underground faction. His status was not very high. In order to rise further, he decided to cozy up to Prince Haddor.
However, he did not expect the king to say something like this. Didn't the outside world say that the King was very fearful of His Highness the Prince? Why was the King so unreasonable? Before that person could figure it out, he saw the few people beside the King walking toward Isabella and Draxton.

What was worse, he knew these few people.
Who didn't know Fernando, the patriarch of the Barclays family? Who didn't know Noboru Sakurai from Yuvilia's number one family? Who didn't know Arvid, the heir of the Rutherford family, and who didn't know the patriarch of the Macy family? That leader thought in bewilderment, "How did the King get involved with these people?" These people had nothing to do with each other at all.
Most importantly, these prominent figures were actually walking toward Isabella and Draxton.
Prince Haddor's face clouded over slightly at the sight.
Norah Lyons, who was sitting at the side, also frowned slightly. A peculiar look that no one had noticed before flashed across her eyes.
She knew very well why these people were here.
It was because of those three girls who had been rescued by Draxton Lockwood! Norah closed her eyes silently and then gave Number One, who was beside her, an eye signal.
Number One nodded imperceptibly. He understood what Norah meant.
At this moment, Fernando and the others had already walked to Isabella's side. Fernando smiled and said, Miraculous Doctor, Mr. Lockwood, long tno see!" He stretched out his arms and wanted to give Isabella a hug.
Draxton swiftly took a step forward and shielded Isabella with his body. Fernando ended up hugging Draxton tightly.
Fernando was stunned at first. Then, he quickly let go as if he had encountered a plague. He even took a step back in disdain and brushed his hands off repeatedly.
He actually hugged Draxton Lockwood! The disdain on his face was too obvious. Draxton looked at him indifferently with a chilly and expressionless face.
Fernando was speechless. "Mr. Lockwood, how can you do this!" Draxton actually tricked him into hugging him! Draxton stared at him as if he was an idiot.
Arvid was much more well-behaved. He looked at Fernando sympathetically and walked toward Isabella. He greeted her respectfully and said, Hello, Miraculous Doctor. | didn't expect to see you again so soon." Isabella nodded at him with a smile. "I wasn't expecting you to come. Have you settled everything at home?" Arvid seemed to have thought of something and his eyes darkened slightly. "It's just a small matter. Father can handle it." Isabella nodded and said, "How's your great-grandpa doing?" Arvid immediately nodded. "Doing well. He's doing very well. He even wallopedthe day before yesterday!" As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing the red marks on his arms.
It was obvious that he had been whipped.
The corner of Isabella's mouth twitched. This was really quite ruthless. There was no mercy at all.
She couldn't help but laugh and then said, "Mm-hmm. Looks like Old Mr. Rutherford is in good spirits!" She had no intention of pitying Arvid.
Arvid immediately looked at Isabella with sresentment in an aggrieved manner. He seemed very upset.
However, he was in awe of Isabella and did not dare to express his dissatisfaction at all. He could only lower his head woefully. He really resembled a pissed-off golden retriever.

The patriarch of the Macy family chimed in, "Hello Miraculous Doctor. I'm Macy. You can just callFaulk. Thank you very much for saving my daughter!” He looked at Isabella very gratefully.
On the side, the Sakurai family's patriarch Noboru Sakurai did not want to fall behind and went forward to speak to Isabella as well.
Isabella knew that they were the families of Ellen and Keiko Sakurai. She smiled and said, It's fate that led to our encounter. I'm very glad that | could save your daughters." Malakai stood on one side with a smile. He did not immediately go forward to speak to Isabella. Instead, he and Draxton were looking at each other.
When he saw that Isabella was surrounded by people who wanted to talk to her, he simply turned to observe Draxton.
' Back then, | was very curious to know what kind of person was worthy of her. | didn't expect that when we met again, she already had... an outstanding man by her side." Though Malakai gave a compliment, a look of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
Draxton's gaze instantly turned sharp. Beside him, Fernando gloated as he watched the upcoming exciting show.
Malakai said, "Back then..." ’ Back then, when you met her, she was already the mother of my two children!" Draxton said frostily, his whole body exuding the glorious radiance of a victor.
Then, he added, "When | met her, you were still a sickly invalid in bed!" Malakai was utterly speechless.
The smile on his handsface gradually stiffened, and then the corners of his mouth twitched. Why was this person so sour, and he had such a venomous tongue too? What an incredibly jealous person.
Although he looked like a decent person, he couldn't take a joke at all! Malakai said in annoyance, Mr. Lockwood, don't mind me. | already have a wife." "To be precise, | already have eight wives. Moreover, they are all fans of the Miraculous Doctor. They all admire the Miraculous Doctor!" Draxton was stumped.
