Chapter 970 Skyler Goes on a Rampage

Veronica could vividly see the struggle and pain in Crayson's eyes. Even so, she did not back down in

the slightest.

"If you want this frail life of mine, then I'll give it to you." He slowly lifted his head and sighed. "But, now

is not the time. The clan's fate has not been decided, and I have a mission to accomplish. When you're

firmly seated as the head of the clan, you can take my life at any time."

"Huh…" She laughed mockingly. Reaching out her hand, she pulled out several tissues to wipe the

blood from the palm of her hand. "What if I refuse? Will you threaten me with the lives of my two

children in Bloomstead?"

Bullseye.

Therefore, he did not bother to hide his intentions and earnestly replied, "Both you and Matthew are

part of the hidden clan. I am simply worried about the safety of your children. You must know that

Tanya is eyeing them. I'm merely keeping them safe."

It was true that Tanya harbored ill intentions toward the two children due to Veronica's identity; she

wanted to use them to threaten Veronica. However, Crayson was one step ahead by whisking the

children away and disrupting her plans in one swoop.

"Are you implying I should thank you for your efforts instead?"

Veronica was not surprised that Crayson had voluntarily admitted to his involvement. From the day she

entered the hidden clan, she had known they would never leave her children alone. At the same time,

she also understood that they would not harm her children for the time being.

"I had no other choice." He spread his hands and sighed helplessly. "I had to act for the sake of the

millions of pitiful citizens living in miserable conditions."

In his opinion, Tanya was the cause of many impoverished citizens living in the slums of the hidden

clan. "Tanya Ledger is delusional and incompetent. She is not worthy of becoming the head of the

clan," he strongly emphasized once more.

Veronica smiled and remained silent. In her eyes, the so-called profound understanding of

righteousness he so often preached was nothing more than a joke. Performing nasty deeds under the

banner of justice was a vile act.

"Where are the children?" She finally raised the question after a brief hesitation.

"Don't worry. They're safe with me. I've hired three nannies and bodyguards. Nothing will happen to

them."

"I guess you didn't get it. I'm asking, where are my children?" Her expression was frosty. She clenched

the tissue so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

"Not in the hidden clan, but I am taking good care of them. There's no need for you to worry."

"Where are my children!?" she questioned again through gritted teeth. At that point, she was so furious

that she could barely control her temper.

"They're in Bloomstead—"

Bang!

Before Crayson could finish speaking, he heard a loud crash. The door was kicked open from the

outside. "Where's that f*cking old chap?"

Skyler's roar came from the doorway before he quickly strode into the room. As soon as he caught

sight of Crayson, he marched over aggressively and grabbed Crayson by the collar. Raising his hand,

he slammed his fist into Crayson's face.

"You b*stard! How dare you come here! You injured my woman so badly! How do you plan to settle

this?" Skyler was livid. He would have torn Crayson apart with his bare hands if he had the strength.

In the meantime, Veronica sat on the couch and turned a blind eye to his actions. Taking out two other

teacups from the tray, she leisurely served the tea before leaning back and watching the scene

unfolding. She knew that Skyler had accumulated considerable resentment and hatred toward Crayson

in his heart. Hence, he was bound to come and vent his frustrations when he learned that Crayson was

visiting her.

Skyler swung his fist, but Crayson caught it with his bare hands and swiftly struck out with his right

hand to deal a heavy blow to Skyler's abdomen. He was a skilled martial arts practitioner, after all.

Even if Skyler was somewhat competent, he was nothing in front of Crayson.

Staggering backward from the punch, Skyler found the pain so overwhelming that he clutched at his

abdomen in agony. He stubbornly gritted his teeth, but the expression on his face twisted hideously

from the pain.
