Chapter 1652: Chapter 1671 Leng Peixi’s Escape
This bastard kid is just so stupid. Does he really think that escaping to Cassey would let him grow up safely? He doesn’t even consider who he is; from the moment he became the royal heir, he and Cassey were destined to be on opposing sides.
A legitimate heir and a rebel, how ridiculously foolish.
Cassey is determined to defeat His Majesty and become the King, but he must meet one condition to ascend the throne; he can only assume the throne as a Prince Regent if both the King and His Highness the Prince are gone.
This fool is only focused on fatherly love, but where is there fatherly love in the royal family? Even if it existed, it has long vanished in His Majesty’s schemes.
His Majesty indeed wants to kill him, but hasn’t he still been living well all these years? As long as he stays honest and doesn’t plot secretly, not betraying the other members of the royal family will always protect him.
Lu Jin slightly tilted his body to the side, almost blinded by the glare from the ring on Burbank’s hand.
"The boss means to lock Emil up first!" Lu Jin spread his hands helplessly, "After all, he’s just a kid! Our boss never lays a hand on children. Besides, our sister-in-law is soft-hearted and would be upset if she knew."
Even though Lu Jin doesn’t quite like Emil either, that kid is too cunning, full of evil schemes despite his young age. Just now, so many people died in front of him to save him, yet he didn’t even blink, showing he is too cold-hearted and ruthless.
But who cares, he’s just a child!
As long as he is a child, we have no choice but to protect him.
"I know, but the second brother has to tell His Majesty himself; I dare not defy His Majesty’s orders."
"Hmm! Don’t worry, you won’t be troubled."
Lu Jin pulled the dazed Emil up, "Come with me! Don’t stand there in a daze."
Emil mechanically followed Lu Jin’s steps, and as they walked farther, he still looked back at Burbank, eyes filled with confusion, bewilderment, shock, puzzlement, and a deeper contemplation.

In the dead of night, at the mountainside villa
One by one, the bright lights inside the villa went out; a jeep waited at the door. After Leng Peixi got into the car with the others, Leng Ran sat in the driver’s seat, started the car, and slowly drove out of the villa. The speed picked up gradually once they were on the main road of the mountain pass.
"Drive faster." Leng Peixi urged impatiently, her originally well-maintained face now full of anxiety and fatigue. Since Feng Sha disappeared in Kannaya, her situation has worsened, both domestically and abroad.
Yu Fengji, like a madman, has been fiercely attacking the forces and activities of the Dark Street, reducing the business her Leng Family relied on by ninety percent. This left her severely weakened, and what infuriated her the most was Ning Di and an unknown force constantly targeting her, even allying with Yu Fengji.
For over a month, Leng Peixi has been exhausting all her wits, using every method and force to spar with these three parties, only to lose entirely, even unable to remain in the country. But the biggest challenge isn’t even that; it’s the disappearance of Feng Sha.
As Feng Sha’s disappearance lengths, she increasingly feels a looming sense of crisis, despite all her preparations and measures, she was unprepared for the overwhelming blows that completely stunned her.
The mercenary forces she cultivated abroad with that man were wiped out overnight, nullifying all her plans, and even that damned Jiang Nanfei took the opportunity to escape.
Damn it!
She was so furious and annoyed that she almost vomited blood; she knew in her heart that all of this was Huo Beijiang’s doing, it was all him, must be him.
Leng Peixi’s face was half bathed in light and half in shadow, her whole presence flickering between clear and obscure. Her face was sometimes sullen and sometimes sinister, making her look increasingly terrifying.
