The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 1196

“No,” Jerome and Samuel answered unanimously.

Yandel immediately stopped crying, and a conflicted expression appeared on his face.

Natalie cocked an eyebrow at him. “What's wrong? You were just crying so mournfully for me, but now you seem disappointed to see that I'm alive. Are you afraid that I'll steal your CEO position now that I'm back?”

“What are you saying, Boss? You will always be my beloved Boss. I will follow you in life and death!” Yandel defended himself in a small voice.

“Don't worry. I won't die that easily,” Natalie replied in a mocking tone.

Meanwhile, the standoff had reached its peak.

Daniel briefly analyzed the situation and couldn't spend too much time celebrating Natalie's return. His expression darkened once again as he said, “Jerome, you must hold your position at all costs! It's natural for a lot of bloodsheds to occur whenever there is a change in power, and history demonstrated this. However, no matter if this man really is King as he claimed or if he is Geert, he's definitely no ordinary person. Even if Blaze were to develop a powerful drug capable of getting rid of Geert, it would not erase the fact that he is mentally ill! If we were to let someone like him govern Loang, not only will we lose our lives, the entire country is doomed to fall.”

Jerome nodded solemnly. “I understand, Father.”

He couldn't agree more with what Daniel said. He wasn't fighting for Mikhail's sake but searching for someone more suitable to swear his loyalty to.

From his previous battles with King and Blaze, he concluded that Blaze was just an incredibly evil organization. They were willing to murder people and traffick drugs for their own benefit. It would be entirely irresponsible to let them rule Loang.

Some members of Jerome's squad were still waiting outside.

Just then, Samuel piped up, “What a coincidence! I had arranged for five hundred men to standby around Luna Palace when I saved Nat previously. Billy, you will be following Major General Sutton. Our men and weapons will be at his disposal.”

With that, shock appeared on everyone's faces.

This was where the Loang's royal family lived.

How did Samuel, a foreign merchant from Chanaea, manage to achieve that?

Natalie couldn't stop herself from blurting, “How did you do all this, Samuel?”

He looked at her with an impassive expression. “There are a lot of things I wanted to say to you but never had the chance to. Once all of this is over, I'll tell you everything.”

Natalie was rendered speechless.

I thought I was the only one who was keeping secrets from Samuel. I didn't expect him to have other identities apart from the CEO of Centurion Corporation. It never crossed my mind, but now that I think about Master Malcolm and how Sarah was able to secretly follow someone without arousing suspicion, it's not possible for Samuel to just be a simple merchant.

“All right.”

Jerome and Daniel left, with Billy and Samuel following behind them.

Yandel remained where he was with Natalie and Patricia.

Just then, they heard a gunshot not too far away, and their hearts leaped to their throats.

The danger had not been dealt with yet.

The dark shadow of death was still lingering in the large hall.

After finding out what happened to Jennie, Mikhail's emotions went on a rollercoaster ride. He wasn't in the twilight years yet, but now it was as if he had aged at least ten years. Within a short amount of time, he had gained a lot more white hairs.

Bastien was a lot more terrifying than his father. His eyes were shockingly as red as blood, and it looked as if the blood vessels would burst at any given time, sending blood spraying everywhere.

The wedding attire he was wearing was like a physical reminder that he was the world's biggest joke.

I fell in love with my... half-sister. She's my younger sister from another mother...

“N-No! It's impossible!” Disbelief was written clear as day on his face. “Lies! It's all lies! This has to be a ploy. You must have spun this tale in an attempt to defeat my father and me. I'm not going to fall for your tricks!”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
