“Ambrose, why are you here?” Yvette asked.
“Auntie, we can deal with the questions later—” Ambrose walked forward quickly to untie Yvette. His handsome face looked heartbroken. Finally, he said gently, “Auntie, are you alright? Are you hurt?”
Ambrose could not hide the concern on his face. He observed Yvette to see if she was injured.
Yvette was one of the closest people to Ambrose—she was like a mother and sister to him. He was heartbroken when he saw her in such a poor state.
“I’m fine.” Yvette smiled and shook her head. Then, she asked, “Ambrose, why are you a general with the North Moana Army?”
“I—”
Ambrose lowered his head awkwardly. He said, “A month ago, the New World fell into Yang Jian’s hands. Father Emperor bowed to Yang Jian because of me. So, I’m here to work for Yang Jian!”
His tone was complicated. Yvette had been the New World Princess once. If she had known that the New World had fallen, she would be very disappointed.
However, Ambrose was surprised to see her calm expression when he told her that. She smiled and said, “I have long heard the news about the New World’s defeat.” A long time had passed since then. Yvette had accepted the fact that wealth and glory were a thing of the past. The most important thing for her was to be with the person she loved.
Then, Yvette looked at Ambrose closely. She said in a complicated tone, “I did not think that you would work for Yang Jian. Did you not know that the World Universe is your biological father, Darryl’s hometown? Yet, you are helping Yang Jian to invade the World Universe. Aren’t you afraid to go down history as a sinner?”
Swoosh!
Ambrose’s expressions changed. He shook his head and said, “Auntie, please don’t mention Darryl to me. He abandoned my mother and me for more than ten years without doing anything. The World Universe may be his hometown, but it has nothing to do with me.”
Then, Ambrose looked at Yvette and said, “Auntie, I snuck in to let you go. I don’t want to talk about anything else!”
Yvette sighed. She nodded and said, “Very well, then!”
At that moment, Yvette felt helpless at how Ambrose hated Darryl so much. She did not know how to persuade him.
Then, Yvette suddenly thought of something. She turned to Ambrose and said, “If that’s the case, then release all these people here.”
The prisoners there were part of the main force of resistance against the North Moana Army. If they were all beheaded, it would be a massive loss for the World Universe.
‘Release them?’
Ambrose was stunned for a while; then he smiled, shook his head, and said, “Auntie, I only care about your safety. What do their lives and deaths have to do with me? Auntie, we’re running out of time! Quick, follow me.”
