At the thought, Ambrose looked at Cody. "Fine, what do you want from me?"Whew!Cody heaved a deep breath and spoke in a highly cautious tone."There's an ancient belief that equates cutting one's hair to cutting ties with someone. Why don't you give me a few strands of your hair, Sect Master Ambrose, and I'll tell my High Lady that you've cut her off for good?"My High Lady will see your hair and give up for sure. She'll never give you any more trouble after this."As he spoke, Cody had on a serious expression as his chest thudded hopefully.Indeed, his ultimate goal was to obtain Ambrose's hair and nothing else. Knowing Veron's temper, she would surely kick him out if he did not finish what he was ordered to do.At the suggestion, Ambrose hesitated briefly. Following that, he took out a small dagger and sliced off a lock of his hair before handing it to Cody."Well… That seems like a good idea. Here, take the hair and get out of here."All Ambrose wanted then was to have not
Cody smiled as he retrieved the items."How would I dare lie to you, High Lady? This is the lanugo hair of the child, and this is Ambrose's hair. It was a journey full of dangers, but I managed to get what I needed in the end."As he spoke, Cody passed the items to Veron.Whew…Just then, Veron took a look at the items. Upon making sure that they were just as Cody had described, she was nothing but joyous."Not bad. Get me a ride to the hospital this instant."Veron had thought it through. If both specimens' genes matched up, that would prove that the child belonged to Ambrose and Heather. That way, Heather would be in irreversible trouble.It would be best if that was not the case. That would mean that Heather and Ambrose had not done anything in their relationship, and Veron still had a chance."Alright!"Seeing the desperate look on her face, Cody scrambled to respond as he hurried off.Half an hour later, Cody and Veron reached the hospital's genetics department.The Lan
After that, Morticia had gone overseas to gather pirates of names big and small, finally forming the Sea Dragon Palace.Not long after that, Morticia gave birth.Based on blood relation, the baby was a Fiend descendant but was also related to Darryl. In other words, the baby was Ambrose's brother from another mother.With a relationship like this, it was only logical that their genetics were the same as well."That b*tch.."Finally, Veron returned to her senses. She snatched the papers over, looking at them briefly before stepping out of the hospital.Veron was filled with resentment then.Veron had liked Ambrose for a long time, and it could be said that she viewed him as his entire world. However, he saw her affection towards him as nothing, and what was more infuriating was that Heather.What a b*tch! What a sl*t for seducing Ambrose and even having a child with him."High Lady…"Seeing as her expression looked off, Cody scrambled to follow her out.As he reached the hosp
All at once, the main hall fell deadly silent.Everyone, including Chester, Dax, and the rest, stopped short in shock.Chester frowned and could not help but exclaim, "Veron, how dare you do something so insolent?!"He was quite close with the leader of the Lange household, and he could be considered to be Veron's elder. The Hidden Hero Sect members knew of Veron's feelings for Ambrose, and Chester was no exception to that information.However, he never would have guessed that Veron would strike Heather over personal affairs like that! It was truly too much.At the same time, Ambrose could hardly contain his anger as well.He strode over quickly, dragging Veron to the side by her arm and roaring at her, "You crazy woman! Don't think I won't hit you just because you're the High Lady of the Lange family."He loved Heather more than anything, and his heart was positively broken at the sight of her being hit.After that, he turned to caress Heather's face as he asked gently, "Doe
What a joke!Just then, Ambrose let out a laugh of exasperation as he flared up in a fury and asked Veron coldly, "Why should I do that? I'll say it again. We're talking about serious business. There's no time for your nonsense."Veron was truly crazy, making up things as she pleased.The angrier Ambrose seemed, the more convinced Veron was that he hid something. She called out, "If you don't do it, you're guilty. You're afraid of the baby's true identity being revealed and that it'll affect your reputation as well as that of the Elysium Gate. More importantly, you just want to protect this hussy, right?"As he spoke, Veron did not forget to glower at Heather viciously."Shut up!"Ambrose was nothing but furious, roaring the words as he finally nodded."Fine, I'll do the damn blood match, but hear me loud and clear. If the baby isn't related to me, you'll leave me alone forever."Ambrose was truly enraged then.Veron was too much—hitting Heather and going as far as to say that
Just then, Veron strode over quickly as she stared intently at the bowl.At the same time, everyone crowded forward as well. Despite how ridiculous the situation was, at least there would be a way to prove Ambrose's innocence.Veron would leave Ambrose alone for good once the results were revealed, and there would be one less problem for everyone to worry about.Ambrose's expression was ashen, not even glancing at the bowl as he stared coldly at Veron."You'd better hold up on your end of the bargain, Miss Lange. Don't go back on what you promised."Just like Heather, he was nothing but confident in the results of the blood match.Veron did not respond, staring dead at the two drops of blood in the bowl."Look, they're… They're combining…"Just then, someone in the crowd shouted at the main hall and fell into chaos."They're really melding together.""How… How could this be?""My dear gods…"All that could be seen was the two drops of blood slowly melding to form one singul
"No…"Seeing the bloodshot gaze on Ambrose thoroughly scared the servant, and she shook her head in terror. "I didn't. It's just normal water."Ambrose still wanted to ask further, but Veron stopped him.Veron roared out loud, unable to hide the disdain in her gaze. "Ambrose Darby! The deed's been done, and the results are out. You can't deny this anymore. You said that the blood match wouldn't add up? Well, take a look at this."Veron took out the hospital papers and threw them at Ambrose as she said the final word.Genetic testing?Ambrose frowned, catching the papers in one move and taking a good look at them.At the same time, everyone else, including Chester, Dax, and the rest, inched closer. All that could be seen at the bottom were the results clear as day.'Genetic Match, 99%'"If you said something was wrong with the blood match, would hospital results lie?"What?A thought seemed to come to Ambrose as he roared at Veron, "Did Cody Lange ask for my hair that night t
Heather spoke up at last with her gaze filled with grief. "You… When did you meet the Sea Dragon Empress?"The situation at hand was evident. The baby belonged to Ambrose and the Sea Dragon Empress. After all, the truth had prevailed, and it was undeniable.Truthfully, Heather trusted Ambrose. It was precisely because she had trusted him so much that the results of the blood match and the genetic testing had broken her the most.Well…At the question, Ambrose was nothing but helpless as it finally dawned on him why Heather was angry."Heather, don't believe all that nonsense. It's all fake." You're the only woman for me. There's never been anyone else, let alone having a baby with another woman."As he explained himself, Ambrose was positively sweating.Fake?Heather smiled bitterly, trying to hold back her tears but failing as they trickled down her cheeks."Everyone here can see it for themselves. The blood match and Miss Veron's hospital results are enough to prove that you
