RAGING FATE (Hiatus)

CHAPTER 22

PERSISTENT FLOWER

Kao Han was pleased that he had not yet been caught at his little rat play, and he planted more normal people beside Emperor Fen second son.

Using the same method he used on Luie, he will kidnap a trusted servant who will become Emperor Fen's second son's servant, kill them, and exchange their skin for his people, whom he will slither inside like a snake with the intention of kidnapping the second prince of the Yao clan.

But every time his people attempted to complete the task, they failed, since Jui was constantly on the lookout with the other senior disciples, making the Jeng leader impatient, prompting him to use a forced full tactics to make Emperor Fen submit his second son to them for peace, by also involving the Hu clan, desperate to wrap Wei in his hands, like some kind of thing.

After spending so many years with people he never expected to betray or abandon him. Emperor Fen's second son had also begun to reveal his secret, that he could bear a child, and that he possessed two powerful cores within him that could be used to gain power and control over the entire world.

Wei willingly shares more information about himself, claiming that the child he will bear someday will only be able to use or inherit such core from him, giving the two clans even more reason to desire him and become selfish.

So when Emperor Fen discovered such information about the six people who had taken care of his son for many years and whom he had also trusted for many years. He couldn't control his anger, which had turned to rage, and he killed them all with a single swing of his sword.

For the sake of his son, he slaughtered them. He did it to avenge his son's feelings and emotions, which had been manipulated for so long.

Thinking, even if those six people are just pawns, they should have made the right decision by using their brains to come to him and tell him the truth. For him to be able to assist them in escaping and breaking free from being a pawn, but their loyalty was already flowing through their veins.

So it's only right that he doesn't spare those rats who snuck inside his palace. He hopes that such people are never reincarnated again. They do not deserve such treatment.

"Luie was the one who started everything that happened the other day; he opened the secret gate passage into the north wings, and that's when some Jeng people snuck in and started the attack alongside the Hu people in silent. My master, your father the emperor, couldn't accept such a thing that happened too, but it already happened and we can't change it anymore. Before we left, he ordered us to burn their corpses, and I'm among those who burned them," Jui said, shifting his gaze to the side as he continued to stare at the ground.

Hearing the entirety of his explanation, Wei's breath hitched and he felt breathless for a while, his mouth wide open and trembling from surprised, but he successfully closed it back by clenching his lower lip tight until it bled but he felt no pain or wetness. He only felt confusion, unexplainable feelings, and anger.

Why do people who appear to want to be close to him always betray him? They either have a bad intention for him or they just toy with him and then leave him, as if he were some inanimate object with no feelings. Why? Why is it him? Why!

Wei clenched his lower lip even more tightly, causing it to bleed blood more and drop some into his white silk, which still covered his entire appearance.

He sat back down in the chair, both hands now plastered in his forehead, trying to take in everything he had heard from his father's senior disciples.

"Jui, you may leave for the time being. I want to be alone," he said, his voice trembling and tingling with tiredness as he held his position still, concealing his true expression towards the other person.
