Chapter 528 - Against The Epic, The Girlʼs Dilemma - Part 2

”Hmnn, rise!” Tang Shaoyang responded with a nod as he scanned the surroundings. The knights and their families noticed his arrival. They surrounded Tang Shaoyang, wanting to see who was the lord of these powerful spirits.

”Have you found the enemiesʼ number?” Tang Shaoyang looked toward Zaneos. The latter nodded his head and reported, ”Aerelion has scouted the area, there are five thousand knights have gathered and five more thousand knights are coming as well,”

??

”Then letʼs get a safe place for the knights and their families. After we find a safe spot for them, we will fight the knights. Thereʼs no more objection, right?” He asked Zaneos. Earlier when they arrived at Lukan, his spirits did not agree with him to fight against the Malone Family and also the Ambrose Family.

He understood the reason as they wanted to pit the Lionax Kingdom and the Revolution Army. Now they found out that neither the Ambrose Family nor the Malone Family controlled the Revolution Army. It did not matter if they killed them right now as the Revolution Army had started their revolutionary movement.

They would buy him time to conquer the Gigante Forest. However, the Malone Family and the Ambrose Family are just a small part of the Revolution Army. Without the two families, the Revolution Army would not fall apart.

That question was directed to Crystal in his Spiritual Space as well. The Ambrose Family was her family, he would now fight against them.

—It is a lie if I donʼt want you to destroy my family but I donʼt mind if you want to destroy them, Master. I have secured the last line successor for my family, so yeah, itʼs a pity as it could not be avoided. Just like you said, even if you summon me to meet him, you will just give Duran a justification to kill you.

Crystal was aware that the question was directed toward her. So she responded quickly, expressing her thoughts on the matter. Her Master did not like lies, so she was telling the truth.

”I donʼt have an objection, Master. The Malone Family and the Ambrose Family have served their purpose to bait the Revolution Army out. We can destroy them now,” Zaneos agreed with it as well.

”Good, then find a place for them to hide. We will strike the knights after that,” Tang Shaoyang then turned toward Ashley, ”Donʼt you want to meet with your subordinates?” all knights were Ashleyʼs subordinates who followed her to the Earth.

”I will meet them later, but I have a request for you. Can you not kill my father?” Ashley met Tang Shaoyangʼs eyes. He let out a sigh, ”I donʼt like lies, so I will tell you the truth, I canʼt! I am not going to let the people who want to kill me live, I must kill them. Furthermore, your father, in fact, is a big lump target that can help me to grow stronger. I will get many levels from killing him and I direly need to level up since I am going to face Myth Rank and even Primordial Rank later. I am sorry, but I canʼt. Unless you can convince me that your father will be useful for me, more useful than just a target for me to level up,” Tang Shaoyang did not hide it from Ashley. He told her the truth, the bitter truth.

”However, I will catch him alive if you want to talk with him. Thatʼs the best I can help you with,” Tang Shaoyang added.

Ashleyʼs shoulders slumped. She had been living with a belief that her father loved her. It was not easy to throw away those feelings within a few days, so she tried to save his father. Yes, after watching how Tang Shaoyang fought together with her against the four tribes, she realized that the man was equal if not stronger than the Epic Rank. She could not tell who was going to win but her heart told her that Tang Shaoyang was stronger than her father so she requested Tang Shaoyang to not kill her father.

The honest answer struck her froze, she looked at the man in disbelief that her father she loved was regarded as a mob to level up. Again, it was a lie if she was not angry, but she tried to see things from Tang Shaoyangʼs point of view. Even though she hated it, she admitted that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

”How can you say that to Ashley? No matter how bad he was, he is still her father,” Selena rebuked Tang Shaoyang. Being honest was okay, but comparing her father with the mob was not okay. Moreover, why would he tell her the truth in the first place? He could just tell Ashley later that he accidentally killed Duran when they fought later.

”I appreciate your honesty,” Ashley bowed her head, ”Then I will meet with the knights now,” After saying that, Ashley left him to meet with Captain Knight Morries and the others, ”Wait for me, Ashley,” Selena was concerned with Ashleyʼs condition and so she chased after Ashley.

—I agree with Selena. Honesty can be a good foundation for a relationship, I believe that. However, honesty can become toxic too. You are ruining your relationship with her when she begins accepting you. Now I am concerned that the Ambrose Family bloodline will end here.

Crystal responded in his head. She said that she had secured a descendant to continue the Ambrose Familyʼs bloodline now she was worried. She was worried that Ashley would decide to side with her father and be killed by her Master. It was a twist and a tragic end.

Tang Shaoyang did not give his response for that. There was some truth with Crystalʼs words. However, it was all the same for him. She might not hate him now, but she would hate him later when she found out the truth. It was just the same for him, the difference was that she now knew sooner. If she decided to betray him for her father that meant they were not fated to be together.
