Fake Daughter Is The Real Legend (Iris Sutton) novel Chapter 378

Chapter 378 Discover The Truth

The moment Ace’s men moved, the balance of power shifted completely.

The thugs barely had time to react.

“Drop your weapons!”

Weapons were immediately trained on them from every direction.

One man instinctively reached for his gun, but before he could even draw it, a soldier struck his wrist and sent the weapon clattering to the ground.

Another was forced face-first onto the ground and restrained.

Within seconds, all ten men had been disarmed and subdued.

The clearing fell silent.

Rumt stood frozen.

She looked at Ace, then at the soldiers surrounding her.

Only then did she fully understand.

This wasn’t a rescue team.

It was a military operation.

Ace walked toward her, his expression calm and unreadable.

“Mrs. Young.”

Rumi’s lips parted slightly.

“You… when did you come back?”

Ace was rarely home.

As the God of War of Country A, he was stationed at the border, guarding the nation’s territory. There were times when he didn’t return home for an entire year.

To most people, Ace appeared polite, composed, and even easygoing.

But those closest to him knew better.

There was something terrifying beneath that calm exterior.

No matter how much Ace respected or favored someone, the moment he began to doubt them, there was almost no chance of earning his trust back.

And now, Rumi knew she was in trouble.

No.

Chloe can’t be involved in this

Rumi had already made up her mind.

She would take all the blame.

Ace stopped a few steps away and gave her a polite nod.

“I just returned. I happened to receive word that my little sister was under attack.” His gaze briefly shifted toward Iris. “And it seems the incident has something to do with you, Mrs. Young.”

His tone remained courteous, almost formal..

“I’m afraid I’ll have to take you into custody.”

Rumi’s face went pale.

“You’re the God of War. Why are you bringing the army into a family matter?”

Ace’s gaze shifted briefly toward Iris.

“Because the army is my family.”

His eyes returned to Rumi.

“And she is my family.”

His voice remained calm, but the meaning couldn’t have been clearer.

Iris was under the protection of the military.

“And because you attempted to harm her.”

Rumi’s expression stiffened.

Before she could respond-

“Big Sister!”

A familiar voice suddenly came from the forest.

Iris turned.

Several figures emerged from between the trees.

Richard was the first to appear.

Behind him came Eleanor, Chloe, Damian, Vincent, and Ares.

Iris’s eyes widened. “Mom?”

Eleanor immediately hurried toward her.

“Iris!”

Iris stand there. She had been prepared to find her parents unconscious or injured.

instead, they were standing right in front of her.

Unharmed.

“What happened?” Iris asked.

Richard shook his head. “We don’t know.”

“We woke up in our bedroom,” Eleanor added.

Damian stepped forward. “We received Ares’s message shortly after we landed af the airport tonight.”

He glanced toward the restrained men, his expression turning grim.

“But when we got back to the house…”

He paused.
