Chapter 118

Jcouldn’t believe what she was seeing.

Everyone told her that Danton adored Andre and he was a loving father.

But what kind of loving father lashed his son in a dark back alley?!

All guards stood in their spots quietly, watching this scene in silence. They seemed quite used to this.

Hearing that Danton asked him to kneel, Andre’s body quivered.

He looked at Danton with a pleading look and begged, “Father…I-I can’t. My leg is broken. Can you

sparefor this time, please?”

There was a wicked gleam in Danton’s eyes. His face was cold and heartless as ever.

“You are a fucking dog to me, Andre. You do whatever I ask you to do,” Danton said icily, “Get on your

fucking knees. NOW.”

Andre bit his lips with tears circling in his eyes.

Slowly, he moved his injured legs. The extrpain caused him to sweat heavily.

He eventually managed to kneel on the ground, panting nonstop.

“Good.”

Danton said in a freezing voice, “I heard that you got into stroubles with somebody tonight. Who

did you mess with?”

“A-Alpha Daran and his Gamma Janet…but I was drunk, father! I didn’t know who. they were when I-

Ahh!”

SLAP!

A hot slap landed on Andre’s cheek. His left side face becswollen immediately. “Fucking lying

piece of shit!” Danton roared.

He grabbed Andre by the collar and glared at the kid, “Did you approach them on purpose? Do you

think that they can help you? Getting you out of my control? Is that what you were thinking?!”

“NO! Father!” Andre cried in despair, “It was a coincidence! I know that they are our enemy. I would

never approach them on purpose. I swear!”

Yet his pleading meant nothing to Danton.

Another hot slap landed on his right cheek this time.

“You should be grateful for being alive,” Danton looked down at Andre

condescendingly. “The King pardoned your life, and I nurtured you up. You will talk and behave exactly

like we want you to. Understand?”

“…Yes, father.”

“I am watching you, son. Be a good boy. You don’t want to get punished, do you?” Andre’s body

twitched when he heard the word “punish” as though it triggered shorrible memories.

He nodded hastily, “No, no punishment, father. I will be good.”

Danton smirked and patted his head, “Now we are talking. As long as you listen to me, I will make sure

that you live a comfortable life. Oh, I heard that you signed up for a combat lesson with a private

trainer. Why do you need to learn combat?”

Fear flickered across Andre’s eyes.

“…Nothing. Just a little interest,” he murmured.

“Well, a worm like you doesn’t need to learn combat,” Danton scorned. “I have canceled that lesson for

you.”

Andre lowered his head, “…Yes Father.”

“Go to sparties. Women and booze are enough to keep you occupied. I heard that there is a

Spring Fling party next week. Be there and have sfun. OK?”

“…Yes Father.”

Danton seemed pleased with Andre’s obedience. He snapped his fingers and beckoned the guards

over.

“Bring Mater Andre to the hospital. I don’t want my son to beca fucking limp.”

“Yes, General.”

They brought Andre into the car.

The car drove away and disappeared into the darkness.

Daran opened the door and walked into the back alley with Janet. Both of them were still in shock

because of what they just saw.

“I…I can’t believe this.” Jshook her head in astonishment, “Danton treated Andre horribly! How

cnobody ever found out about this?”

Daran snorted, “Danton must be really careful. He doesn’t want the others to raise questions about

Andre’s true identity. But when they are alone, his monster side comes out again.”

“…Poor kid,” Jmurmured.

When she first met Andre, she thought that he was nothing but a spoiled little brat.

Yet after seeing what happened in the back alley, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

Andre must have lived a difficult life.

Nobody in this city cared for him.

He had to put up with Danton’s violence while pretending to be Danton’s loving son on the outside. And

there was no one he could turn to for help.

The kid was barely 18.

“This works to our advantage,” Daran turned to Jand said. “Now we know that Danton and Andre’s

relationship isn’t as solid as we believe. We can find a chance to crack it and persuade Andre to work

with us.”

Jnodded, “We just need a chance to talk to him.”

“You heard what Danton said to Andre. Spring Fling party, next week. It is a perfect opportunity.”

Jpulled out her phone and dialed Morgana’s number.

It went through on the first ring, “Yes?”

“Morgana, we heard that there will be a Spring Fling party next week and Andre will be there. Can you

get us on the guest list?”

“Sure. You want to talk to Andre at that party?”

“Yes. But we don’t want to catch people’s attention. The last thing we need is for Lance to find out that

we are approaching the former King’s son.”

Morgana chuckled pleasantly, “Well, then this party works out perfectly for your plan.”

“Why is that?”

“Because it is a masquerade ball. No one will have a damn clue about who you are.’

The masquerade ball was on the upcoming Monday,

All the officers and nobles in the city would be there, including Andre. Jasked Morganá to help

them make the ball gown in secret. So nobody-not even their maids and guards-knew that they were

going to the masquerade ball. On the day of the ball, Jdid her own makeup and got dressed.

Daran was at the

11

ball already. They would meet at the ball later.

Tonight, Jwas dressed in an exquisite, ankle-length black velvet gown. The fitted bodice was

accented with a deep sweetheart neckline, highlighting her graceful collarbone.

A gold masquerade mask, adorned with black and gold feathers, obscured her face. Her hair was

pinned up in a soft, romantic updo, tendrils framing her face. The finishing touch was a pair of black

satin stiletto heels, giving her an air of mystery and allure.

When Jstepped into the venue, everyone nearby turned to look at her.

Among all those beautiful women who attended the ball tonight, Jwas without doubt the brightest

star.

Yet Jdidn’t pay any attention to other’s gaze.

She was busy searching among the guests, looking for Daran in the crowd.

Everyone here wore a mask tonight. She wasn’t sure which one was Daran.

Just then, a tall figure made his way down the marble staircase and walked towards Janet.

The overall look emphasized his powerful and statuesque physique, making him a striking figure in the

sea of guests at the masquerade ball.

He walked up to Jdirectly, as though he was certain that she was the one that he was looking for.

“Hey.”

Jsmiled and looked at him.

The silver masquerade mask that he wore covered half of his face, revealing a hint of

his strong jawline.

“How do you know that it is me?” she giggled.

Daran’s lips curved up into a gentle smile. He gently stroked the feather on her mask

and answered in a husky voice, “I can find you in a sea of people instantly. It is my superpower.”

“Look over there,” Daran whispered into Janet’s ears.

Jfollowed the direction of his gaze and found Andre standing alone by the dancefloor, holding a

glass of champagne.

Target spotted.

“Let us go talk to him,” Daran said.

Yet Jput a hand on his shoulder and stopped him.

“No, I got this one.” she smiled. “You look out for me

supripowel.

“Look over there,” Daran whispered into Janet’s ears.

Jfollowed the direction of his gaze and found Andre standing alone by the dancefloor, holding a

glass of champagne.

Target spotted.

“Let us go talk to him,” Daran said.

Yet Jput a hand on his shoulder and stopped him.

“No, I got this one,” she smiled. “You look out for me.”

She picked up her long skirt and walked towards Andre.
