28- Jin Ling's awakening

A few hours earlier...

Jin Ling watched the battlefield with a touch of anxiety. Lan Sizhui approached and put an arm around his shoulder.

-It'll be fine, believe me.

-No, it won't...

Lan Sizhui's eyes widened.

-We're talking about my uncle,' Jin Ling continued. He's always one step ahead, or has back-up plans... I'm sure he's up to no good again.

-Jin Ling...

Jin Ling turned to him, looking determined.

-Lan Sizhui, come with me. Let's go to the palace, I'm sure we can change something!

-Jin Ling, you...

BAM!

A cloud of blood escaped from Lan Sizhui's shoulder and he collapsed further away. Jin Ling froze. In the distance, a unit of the Jin clan arrived, armed with surface rifles, which they had probably salvaged from dead bodies.

-Young Master Jin, don't worry, we'll take you to the tower, if that's what you want.

The soldiers laughed. Jin Ling rushed towards Lan Sizhui. A huge wound now adorned his belly. If Jin Ling didn't do something, he was certain to die. However, there was another obstacle in front of him: the members of his clan, who would show no mercy.

If there was only one enemy, Jin Ling could have got rid of them. But there were at least ten of them. Apart from surrendering, there was nothing he could do.

Despite everything, he tried to attack. He wounded three guards before being overpowered.

-Relax, kid... We're not going to kill you. At least, not for the moment.

-Boss, what do we do with Lan?

-Shoot him again and leave him here to die.

-Don't do it!

Jin Ling struggled violently, to no avail. He was brought in by the soldiers and could only hear a second shot, helplessly.

Even though he wore a neutral face, Jiang Cheng was deeply disturbed by Jin Guangyao's words.

-What do you mean by that?

Jin Guangyao shrugged.

-Let's just say that when you were taken prisoner a few years ago, I found you very attractive... I really think I'm attracted to you.

As he finished his sentence, several guards entered. Two of them were holding Jin Ling while two others were holding Wei Wuxian.

-Right, then. Now that everyone's here, the family reunion can begin. As stupid as it may sound, I'd like to tell you all about my ambitions. Very quickly, you will all understand why you are here... You should know, dear guests, that there are only two things I want more than anything else.

-I'm delighted to hear that,' commented Wei Wuxian. Dominating the world is one of them?

-In a way... But it's more complicated than that. In fact, I want all the mermaid peoples in the four corners of the world to join forces and overthrow the human world. Once that's done, our species will be able to occupy the reefs in peace. But before I can conquer a world, I need a country.

-...

-So I've decided to take this kingdom by force. And that's that. After all, if I had decided to use dialogue, you know how it would have ended, don't you?
