Chapter 1664: Chapter 1683: Very Disappointed in You
And Granny Huo, when she left Qi Li Town, she said she was returning to the Imperial City, but in all this time since she arrived, she never saw Granny Huo. No one in the Huo Family ever mentioned her either.
Previously, with so many things and troubles going on, Nan Fei didn’t have the energy or mind to think about these matters. But now, after losing her sight, time seemed interminably long and hard to endure. When she was alone, she would think a lot, and the more she thought, the more she felt something was off.
Huo Kewei’s father, Huo Dongfeng’s death on the surface appeared to be an accident, but was it really? She vaguely sensed that Bei Jiang had been secretly investigating more than just dealing with Leng Peixi.
And where did Granny Huo go? She recalled Bei Jiang mentioning it once before. But even if she went to a nursing home, she shouldn’t have disappeared without a trace, right?
She believed that given her relationship with Granny Huo, under normal circumstances, Granny Huo would never avoid seeing her.
"Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law?" Lu Jin saw Nan Fei walking and suddenly stopping. "Sister-in-law, what’s wrong with you?"
Nan Fei’s drifting thoughts were abruptly pulled back. "I’m fine, let’s go back!" Returning home could be good; staying here might make her a weakness for Bei Jiang, and back home, she could support him more.

The iron door that had just been closed was suddenly pulled open with force, and Emil, with his beautiful eyes, looked displeased at the person coming, "Didn’t you leave? Why are you back..." His sentence was cut off midway as if his throat was suddenly gripped, unable to speak further.
He looked at Kaka in disbelief; his originally rosy cheeks quickly lost their color, turning deathly pale. But the momentary fear quickly dissipated; Emil stood on a chair, trying to make his height seem less childlike.
Burbank, following behind Kaka, saw all of Emil’s actions, and the overwhelming anger he felt earlier gradually faded. Perhaps... Perhaps he could hold some hope that this little bastard was capable of being a good King of Kannaya.
Standing on the chair, he slightly raised his head, looking at Kaka without flinching, "Did you come to handle things personally?"
Kaka waved a hand, and immediately someone brought in an opulently grand red throne and placed it in the most spacious spot. The two who moved the chair stood with hands behind their backs, standing upright on either side of the throne as guards.
Kaka sat on the throne with an air of utmost authority; although one was sitting and the other standing on a chair, the difference in aura was visibly apparent.
Emil, a bit upset, puffed his cheeks, feeling his previous actions were utterly embarrassing. He sulked and sat on the chair, but unfortunately, being too small, his feet couldn’t reach the ground while sitting on it.
Meanwhile, Kaka’s long legs stretched out arrogantly, as if mocking Emil’s short legs.
Seeing this scene, a hint of amusement flickered in Burbank’s eyes. Should he say that indeed he was worthy of being a man of the Kannaya Royal Family? In some respects, they were quite childish.
Kaka’s sharp gaze, akin to a blade, fixed on Emil, with an examining look that made one’s entire body uncomfortable. His eyes were inherently violent, his expression filled with menace, and staring for too long felt like being watched by some unknown terrifying creature from the abyss.
It made one’s hair stand on end, feeling as if they had no secrets, already seen through completely.
Even though Emil’s psychological composure was better than most adults, being stared at this way, his forehead still broke out in a sheen of sweat. Finally, he couldn’t hold back any longer, "If you’re going to act, just do it. I have no ability to resist anyway."
