Mr. Joker's skills were well known to Micah. In this place, almost no one could match him. Yet, Nash had taken him down."Captain York, don’t forget whose territory you're on. If I wanted to harm Nina, I would've done it already," Micah said, his eyes gleaming with a cold light.Standing in front of Nina, Micah's words served as both a threat and a warning to Nash. He was making it clear that he could harm Nina anytime he wanted.Nina subtly gripped her gun, ready to use it if necessary.Micah continued, "I just want to have a few words with Nina. You wait at the door. Remember, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have had the chance to find them."Nash didn’t respond but locked eyes with Nina. Under her silent plea, he reluctantly moved to the door. Even there, he remained vigilant, his eyes fixed on Micah with a fierce intensity. If Micah dared to harm Nina, Nash was prepared to kill him, even if it meant dying alongside her.Micah ignored Nash and focused on Nina. "Nina, you'r
Micah narrowed his eyes. "How did he get poisoned with this?"It was immediately clear to him that Nash had been poisoned, and this poison was personally developed by Pharaoh. Nash and Nina were from Birkham, yet Nash had somehow come into contact with this deadly substance."What are you saying?" Nina was in shock, unable to fathom that Nash was poisoned. Boom—It felt like a thunderclap went off inside Nina's head. Suddenly, everything became clear. Nash had planned everything meticulously before coming here. His mission wasn't just about peacekeeping or unfinished business. Their divorce was also tied to this critical issue. Both their poisons originated from the same enemy, the Yaren tribe.Tears welled up in Nina's eyes as she turned to Micah. "Do you have an antidote?"Scarlett, Nina, Wilfred, the missing Miranda, and even the deceased Sawyer, all of them were interconnected in countless ways.Micah shook his head. "I know about the poison, but I don't have the antido
These words echoed in Seth's ears, prompting him to ask, "Whose DNA test is this?"The man in front of him shook his head. "Mr. Seth, this is a blood sample Mr. Joker brought."Seth didn't respond. Instead, he turned around to leave but suddenly paused, realizing something. He spun back and approached the man, pulling out a gun and aiming it at the man's head. "Make sure this test shows no relation.""Yes, yes," the man stammered, terrified by the black muzzle pointed at his head, not daring to hesitate for a second.……Half an hour later, the man handed the results to Mr. Joker. "Mr. Joker, here are the results."Without looking at them, Mr. Joker took the report and left. Seth observed this scene, his eyes cold and calculating. He ordered someone to follow Mr. Joker.Mr. Joker quickly returned to Micah with the DNA test results. Micah eagerly opened the report, but his expression darkened upon seeing no genetic relation. How could this be?"Mr. Joker, this test...""Sir, I s
The DNA test results were in, and even though no test had been done between Ivy and him, the bracelet ended up in Nina’s hands, hinting at a possible conspiracy by Wilfred. Therefore, until the truth was uncovered, nothing must happen to Nina.Micah's eyes glinted coldly. "Just follow my orders."He changed into a fresh set of clothes before heading to Pharaoh’s quarters, where he met Ivy at the entrance. Seeing him, Ivy removed her veil and greeted him warmly, "Brother."Ivy's face was delicate and beautiful, and Micah responded indifferently, "Hmm."Ivy felt a pang of frustration. No matter how she acted around Micah, he always remained aloof, unlike his attentiveness towards Nina, even going so far as to assign Mr. Joker to protect her. She couldn’t understand what power Nina held over him."Come in," Pharaoh’s voice boomed as he heard them speaking.Ivy beamed, "Brother, Father is calling us. Let’s go in."Micah's lips tightened, and he didn't say a word.As they entered, P
Ivy quickly waved her hands, "I can't do it, brother. I don't know anything."Handing over the position to her sounded good, but Pharaoh wouldn't step down without a reason. Whether he was testing Micah or her, she couldn't let this affect her now.Micah smiled, "You can learn. Haven't you been studying all along?"Pharaoh's eyes flashed with a sharp intensity. "I didn't call you here to hear you pass responsibilities back and forth. You are siblings and you should support each other. Ivy, if you can't remember the past, so be it. The future is what matters. At the banquet, I'll select worthy partners for both of you from our tribe."This was non-negotiable.Throughout the meal, Ivy suppressed her anger. When it was finally over, she rushed back to her quarters. She was about to ask Wes to notify Seth when Seth arrived first.Seth's eyes were stern. "You need to be more cautious around Micah.""Mr. Seth, what do you mean?" Ivy couldn't understand.Although Pharaoh wanted to ann
Nina bit her lips and walked towards Micah. "You're Pharaoh's son and you have influence. Regarding Nash's poison, can you...""I don't have that kind of influence, and I can't get the antidote," Micah interrupted her before she could finish. His expression was cold, leading Nina to believe that Micah wanted her to go to Pharaoh herself.Pharaoh was a ruthless man, and if she got involved with him, wouldn't that put her and Nash on opposing sides?Nina took a deep breath. "Nash and I have never done anything wrong. Why do some people have to make things so difficult?"She thought to herself, "The past is the past. Everyone needs to move forward."Micah studied Nina, her urgency and sincerity clear in her expression. Before the DNA test results, Nina had been so resistant. But now?He pondered, "People are strange, indeed." Micah smirked. "I'm not the one who poisoned him. Talking to me won't help.""Miss Ivy is here," a guard announced from outside.Hearing Ivy's name, Nina i
A glimmer of hope flickered in Ivy's eyes. Micah's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Is this your way of getting to know someone through conflict?""Yes," Ivy replied, her fists clenched."Then talk to her yourself." Micah had no intention of helping. He had disliked Ivy from the moment they met, disapproving of both her behavior and personality.Seeing the emerald bracelet on Nina's wrist had sparked a mix of hope and joy in him. He even suspected the test results might have been tampered with. However, with Mr. Joker overseeing the entire process, it was impossible for anyone to alter the results. Moreover, nobody knew it was Micah who ordered the test.Without another word, Micah turned away. Ivy watched his retreating figure, her eyes darkening. In front of Micah, she always felt so insignificant. She had already gone to great lengths to win his favor. Even Pharaoh had arranged for them to have a meal together, yet Micah still treated her this way. Weren't they from the
Nash took a deep breath, suppressing the pain in his heart as he tenderly caressed Nina's cheek. His heart ached deeply as he said, "Nina, I know you're not that kind of person. But life is full of uncertainties. You have a long life ahead of you, you know that? Quincy will be your best support."With Quincy supporting her career, Nina wouldn't have to worry at all. Nash had even arranged for Scarlett to be by her side. If she hadn't come to the Yaren territory, she would indeed have had the best life in the capital.But without him and their child, her life would become stagnant. There were things she wouldn't be able to understand, and she would always live with the guilt about Scott."Nina, I love you. If I could, I'd wish we'd never met," Nash said, holding her hand and kissing her forehead. Despite the loving words, the next moment he wished they had never met, so she wouldn't be in danger because of him.She didn’t believe that memories appear without reason, just as people
