Nathan was still vexed. He stared at Zane and said, “Bear this in mind; the next time you do this again, you are no
longer my son. I will break your leg and kick you out of the house. Got it?”
Nathan had always overlooked his son’s wrongdoings.
However, the Emperor was there, so Nathan dared not take his son’s side or allow his son to behave
unscrupulously.
“I understand…”
Zane bowed his head as he replied feebly. He felt hurt. He thought his father was there to help him, but he had
suffered a brutal beating from his father instead. That was too embarrassing!
Zane still did not understand why his father, who had always been protective of him, had changed so suddenly.
‘Is it because of that man?’ Zane thought to himself as he stole a glance at Darryl to get some clues. However, he
failed to notice anything special about the man!
Zane saw a crowd around him, and suddenly he was reminded of something.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere were many refugees from the World Universe. Zane thought that maybe his father had taught him a lesson
in front of those refugees for the sake of his good name, but it seemed to have gone a bit overboard.
Zane believed that Nathan beat him because he wanted to set his reputation as a good official in front of those
refugees. It probably did not have anything to do with Darryl.
“Mister Xanthos.”
Darryl turned to Nathan and said, “Don’t get too occupied with teaching your son. He has taken two of my friends;
you should get them freed.”
He was not loud, but his tone was unwavering.
“Yes! Sure!” Nathan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and nodded repeatedly.
Next, Nathan glared at Zane and shouted, “Where did you put those two people?”
Zane was stubborn, but he dared not behave presumptuously around his father. He whispered, “At the mansion, in
the wing room at the back of the garden.”
Zane was reluctant to give that information. Miss Synder was a rare beauty, and he wanted to kiss her.
Unfortunately, it looked like his dream had crashed.
‘F*ck, this man is a troublemaker.’
Zane threw Darryl a bitter look. ‘Had Darryl not find fault with me, I would have taken Tanya away a long time ago,
and my father would not have heard the news and come here.’
“Sir!”
Nathan forced a smile as he said sincerely to Darryl, “I’ll free your two friends now. Please come with me.”
Nathan quickly led the way.
Darryl nodded and went with Nathan.
“Mister, are you okay?”
The surrounding soldiers walked up to Zane.
Zane was irritable. With the support from some of his people, he followed the group painstakingly from a distance;
he stared at Darryl’s back viciously.
‘You’d better watch out. My father might have hit me just now, but it was only for show in front of the refugees. I’ll

Soon, they arrived at a large and exquisite courtyard. Darryl saw two words written on a plaque at the gate—
Xanthos’s Mansion.
“We’ve arrived!” Nathan servilely invited Darryl to the back of the garden.
“Father!”
Zane, who was following closely, yelled, “Are you really letting them go?”
He thought that his father did not need to put up a show anymore after they were back in their mansion; there
were no strangers there.
“Shut up!” Nathan rebuked angrily.
Zane noticed that his father was still angry and that Nathan did not seem to have faked his anger, so Zane
trembled and quickly kept quiet. However, he was still not convinced.
Suddenly…
Tanya and Jonas were kept in a wing room at the back of the garden, and they were tied to the chairs. They were
terrified and panicked, especially Tanya. Her delicate face looked flustered.
‘Darren had messed with Zane. What would happen to him? Will Zane kill him?’
“Cousin.”
