"Second Sister, I'm begging you, she's your niece! Please!"

"What niece? That bastard has nothing to do with me! Don’t call me again!"

Beep, beep, beep...

Shen Xue stared at the phone that had just been hung up, gritting her teeth, her eyes brimming with tears, but she knew she had to stay strong.

She took a deep breath and dialed another number.

However, five minutes later, she found herself kneeling on the ground, her eyes vacant, her whole body feeling as if all the bones had been stripped from it.

She had called her siblings, but instead of offering help, they all responded with venomous curses.

Each of them had the ability to help her, but none were willing.

Back when they tricked her into giving up her inheritance rights, they promised her everything, but none of those promises had been fulfilled.

If it weren't for what had happened this time, she wouldn't have cared because she had given up her inheritance rights to save her daughter’s life.

But now...

"Why? How can you be so heartless?" Shen Xue’s voice came through clenched teeth, her eyes filled with tears as she glared at the detestable name on her phone, gripping it tightly.

Should she call? I have to, I need to save my daughter!

Just then, a figure emerged from around the corner. He lowered his head, looking at the despairing Shen Xue, and squatted down beside her.

"I'm here. Trust me," he whispered.

Shen Xue looked up, meeting the gaze of a face she had longed for yet resented for over five years. That face was still as youthful as ever, seemingly unchanged by the passage of time.

When Shen Xue saw Yang Yi’s eyes, her usual strength finally crumbled, and tears began to fall.

However, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, sobbing silently, refusing to let herself cry out loud.

Yang Yi watched the woman he loved dearly, hearing her voice filled with anguish, and it was as if a thunderclap resounded in his mind.

She was still as strong as she was back then.

They had met six years ago.

Six years ago, he had been ambushed by his enemies. After killing more than three hundred of them, he was severely injured and fell into a river.

When he woke up, he found himself in this city, knowing his enemies were still searching for him, so he went into hiding to heal.

It was during that time that he met the young Shen Xue.

She was gentle and beautiful, yet bold and passionate.

Despite his repeated rejections, she persisted. Later, she confessed that it had been love at first sight.

He had grown up lonely, surrounded by blood and fire, never knowing such warmth. Gradually, he fell deeply in love.

After they got together, they spent a period of peaceful days.

But eventually, his enemies found him, and one night, he had to leave.

During his escape, he tortured a captured enemy to discover that it was Shen Xue's family who had betrayed him, leaving him torn.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

After successfully escaping, he never returned.

At this moment, Yang Yi watched as Shen Xue struggled to conceal her vulnerability even as she covered her mouth. He knew she resented him.

He didn’t know what to do. He was never good at expressing emotions, and right now, he felt an overwhelming urge to destroy the world.

Just then, Shen Xue took a deep breath, slowly stood up with the support of the wall, and said coldly, "I won't trust you again. I'll find a way to get the money."

With that, she turned unsteadily and headed downstairs.

Yang Yi also slowly stood up, his body trembling slightly with suppressed anger.

His ears twitched, and he suddenly turned around. Sure enough, a door in the distance opened.

Five people from the Temple of the God King emerged one after another. Yang Yi quickly approached them, asking anxiously, "How is she?"

Seeing Yang Yi, the five of them knelt down in unison, causing Yang Yi’s expression to change.

One of them spoke in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the tumor in the princess’s liver was not naturally formed!"

Boom!

In an instant, the five kneeling figures felt a terrifying killing intent wash over them!

They watched as the tiles beneath Yang Yi's feet cracked inch by inch, the fractures spreading outward in all directions.

"Good, very good indeed!"

If it wasn't naturally formed, then it was man-made!

Yang Yi's teeth ground together audibly, his murderous intent pouring out uncontrollably.

The five kneeling individuals turned pale under the weight of his killing intent, their bodies trembling involuntarily.

But just as suddenly, the oppressive pressure vanished.

Yang Yi closed his eyes to calm the murderous thoughts within him, then opened them and said in a deep voice, "Stand up."

The five stood up in unison, their faces still pale, but a murderous aura began to emanate from them as well.

The Temple of the God King belonged to the God King. Today, the princess had been so grievously harmed that they shared his pain. The disgrace of their leader was their disgrace as well. At that moment, they wished they could tear the culprit to pieces!

But Yang Yi, on the other hand, had regained a cold calmness. "Tell me more. What else can you deduce?"

One of them said, "Based on the surgery, it seems the tumor in the princess’s liver was induced by a drug administered within the last two years. I suspect someone has been using the princess as an experiment!"

As he spoke, this man trembled all over, his fists clenched tightly. The others were no different, each suppressing an overwhelming fury.

Yang Yi had managed to calm down, but hearing this, he closed his eyes once more.

His voice trembled as he asked, "If a liver transplant is performed quickly, how will it affect my daughter’s future life?"

Without hesitation, the five replied in unison, "No effect!"

Whoosh...

Yang Yi finally heard some good news and nodded slightly.

When he opened his eyes again, he looked at the five and said seriously, "Take my daughter to Base No. 9 and begin the liver matching process. Take good care of her, please."

With that, he bowed slightly.

The five were shocked, immediately dropping to one knee again, shouting in unison, "The members of the Temple of the God King are willing to die for Your Majesty!"

"Go," Yang Yi waved his hand.

"Yes."

The five responded, rising to their feet. One began making calls while the others returned to the medical room to prepare for the transfer.

As for Yang Yi, he took one last look at his sleeping daughter, Tiantian, through the glass, clenched his teeth, and turned to leave.

He needed to find a compatible liver within a week, but first, there was a score to settle.

Leaving the building, Yang Yi hailed a cab.

At the Eighth Kindergarten of Zhongjing City, Yang Yi got out of the car and saw that the area outside the kindergarten was deserted, with not a single person or vehicle in sight.

His eyes cold, he began to walk forward. At that moment, from the shadows by the wall, the thick trees, and the stairwell entrance...

Five figures dressed in black and wearing black crow masks emerged. After a brief glance at Yang Yi, they vanished once more.

These were the Shadow Assassins, the secret guards of the Temple of the God King.

Five of them could destroy a city; a hundred could topple a nation.

Yang Yi hadn't ordered the Shadow Assassins to take action. Their only task was to clear away any obstacles.

Today, he was not the God King, and he didn’t intend to slaughter a city or a nation.

Today, he was just a father seeking justice for his daughter!
