NovelEnglishEagle King continued, "Yvette cto Voraxia three years ago. I thought it was because Hadley had crossed her and that's why she killed him. Who knew she was actually an Interpol officer?" There was a touch of grievance in Eagle King's voice as if he still couldn't quite believe it himself. A tough guy like him, looking so pitiful-it was honestly a bit amusing.
Rodney, sitting on the couch, glanced at him. "That expression works for me, Mr. Eagle King, but on you? It's just terrifying." Eagle King was pissed by his words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSamantha, Charles, and Emmett were starting to piece things together. From what Eagle King was saying, Rodney didn't seem to care about Hadley. That was why he had no obligation to seek revenge.
However, there was still one thing that didn't sit right with them. They thought, 'Even if Rodney didn't seek revenge, he still shouldn't be so close with Yvette, right? Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Eagle King sighed again and recounted the story. "Hadley wanted to sell Rodney to a local criminal in Voraxia. This man had a notorious reputation for torturing kids.
"If Rodney had been handed over to him... Well, you can imagine how bad it would've gotten, but you probably guessed it. Yvette saved him and then killed Hadley." Hearing this, Samantha was enraged. She glared at Rodney who looked so delicate. "Hadley was absolute trash. How could he use his son to curry favor with others? He got what he deserved." Rodney lifted his gaze when he heard Samantha's words, his voice calm. "It's okay. If it weren't for Hadley, I wouldn't have met Yvette. I ended that asshole myself." Rodney spoke so calmly as if it were just another insignificant thing.
Samantha looked at Rodney, whose expression remained unfazed. Listening to him mention Yvette constantly, she sighed She thought, 'No wonder this kid didn't hold any grudge against Yvette. If she hadn't killed Hadley, he might have been long dead by now.' Emmett and Charles were also moved by what they heard. They thought, 'If Rodney hadn't met Yvette, he probably would've ended up dead. No wonder he treats Yvette so nicely. They're not enemies but family.' Jeremiah glanced at Rodney, who was swinging his legs on the couch, his small stature still not reaching the floor. He turned his body slightly, his gaze sharp and cold. "Are you the new King of Voraxia?" Rodney stiffened at the comment, casting an annoyed glance at Jeremiah. He thought, 'Yvette's boyfriend is always so sly... He is so lucky to have her.' Eagle King snorted, "The reason Rodney becthe new King of Voraxia is because the biggest gang in Eldoria provides him with the most advanced weapons every year at the lowest market price. In a place like Voraxia, power is everything." Emmett, Charles, and Samantha didn't need Eagle King to elaborate further. They all knew Voraxia was a brutal place. There was no way a ten-year-old child possibly rise to becits ruler.
When Hadley died his territory was bound to be contested by many, and a kid like Rodney couldn't just step in and take control without shelp.
Eagle King looked at Rodney who appeared so innocent and said "Don't underestimate this kid. Weapons alone won't get him far. He may seem harmless on the outside, but he's ruthless. He strikes hard and without hesitation." Eagle King couldn't help but think back to those days. Supported by Eldoria's weapons, the ten-year-old Rodney had, within a year, won the hearts of the local people, suppressed his enemies with force, and, thanks to a large influx of money, solidified his position.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFor another six months, he had completely wiped out anyone who opposed him, officially becoming the new King of Voraxia.
Charles suddenly had a thought. A ten-year-old kid didn't have much money, let alone connections to the biggest gang in Eldoria, How could Rodney have possibly...
Charles turned toward Yvette, who was lounging on the couch, r expression unreadable as she casually crossed her legs. He thought, 'Could it be Yvette? If she helped Rodney, then everything would make perfect sense! Clearly, Emmett and Samantha had reached the sconclusion. Samantha swallowed nervously, almost bracing herself for the bombshell she was about to hear. She sat down on the couch, stammering, "So, the Eldoria gang... Are they the ones who provided us with the weapons?" Eagle King glanced at Yvette, knowing there was no need for secrecy among friends.
He nodded. "Who else could it be? Honestly, I don't know what made her take a liking to this little boy, but she's been trying everything to help him.
"If it wasn't for her, how would Eldoria have been willing to provide Rodney with weapons at such a low cost every year?" Eldoria was a major weapons powerhouse, recognized worldwide. A place like Voraxia wouldn't even register on their radar without Yvette's involvement, let alone receiving the latest weapons.
It was all thanks to Yvette, and Rodney owed his rise entirely to her.
After hearing all this, Emmett, Charles, and Samantha all had a clearer understanding.
