King's Awakening

A profound sense of helplessness washed over her.

Watching the determined back of White Mitchell, Sana Robert’s heart twisted in never-ending struggle.

She knew the character of her grandfather, if White Mitchell does not speak, he would likely die here in Sayon.

But she only has one grandfather!

Could it be that she was too arrogant? The usual methods used by the elites of Capital City were useless against White Mitchell.

At this moment, Sana Robert couldn’t help but begin to rethink her actions since she arrived in Sayon.

True, all along, she never showed White Mitchell any kindness. She always thought he was just trying to take advantage of the Robert Family, endlessly asking for favors.

But after careful consideration, she realized that all of this seemed to be just results of her own imagination. From beginning to end, White Mitchell never said such things.

Even the resources given by the Robert family to his wife were forcefully given by her own grandfather.

From beginning to end, White Mitchell has never asked anything of the Robert family.

On the contrary, it was her who repeatedly provoked him.

Upon these thoughts, Sana Robert seemed like a deflated ball, her eyes gradually dimmed.

Following that, with a thud, Sana Robert kneeled down, “White Mitchell, please don’t go, I beg you. I only have this one grandfather. I don’t want anything to happen to him. Ever since my parents died, everyone in the family wants to get rid of me quickly.

Only my grandfather, only him, for me, he is the only relative I have in this world.

I was wrong, I bring trouble to the family, yet my grandfather still protects me, I shouldn’t have been arrogant and overbearing, I am at fault, I truly understand my wrongs now.

I beg you, please, my grandfather is already gravely ill, if he doesn’t undergo surgery soon, he will really die.

I promise you, as long as you are willing to persuade my grandfather to go back and have the surgery, I’ll do whatever you want, even if I have to work like a horse.”

As Sana Robert spoke these words, she was sobbing, her eyes filled with regrets.

At that moment, she was no longer speaking to White Mitchell as the proud daughter of the Capital City’s Robert family, but as a granddaughter pleading to White Mitchell.

The arrogance of the wealthy lady was completely gone, all that was left was the sincerity of a granddaughter trying her best to look out for her grandfather.

If it were not for her genuine affection, White Mitchell would not have hesitated for a second.

Touched by Sana Robert’s sincerity, White Mitchell slowly stopped, but he did not turn back.

Seeing White Mitchell stop, Sana Robert was filled with gratitude.

Then, White Mitchell slowly began to speak, “You have earned a chance for yourself to live.”

Having said that, White Mitchell continued to walk forward.

“White Mitchell, White Mitchell, White Mitchell…” Watching White Mitchell walk away again, Sana Robert panicked.

But just as she was preparing to chase after him, she suddenly saw a series of shadows flashing before her eyes.

Thud thud thud…

Bodies fell stiffly, accompanied by harsh thuds, they fell like dumplings in front of Sana Robert, terrifying her out of her wits.

At that moment, Sana Robert’s eyes widened in disbelief, she looked at the terrifying scene in front of her, feeling as if she had been scared senseless.

This…

Sana Robert was completely confused, she had no idea what was going on.

Just at this moment, Kylin’s figure suddenly fell from a height, appearing before her.

“You… you’re one of White Mitchell’s subordinates!” Sana Robert was momentarily startled, her figure shook slightly as she spoke.

Upon hearing these words, Kylin slightly cocked his mouth with a curious smile, then opened his mouth to say, “Little girl, be careful when you go out in the future.

You won’t always run into my big brother.

This time, if it weren’t for my big brother, these people would have butchered you already.”

Leaving these words behind, Kylin turned around without looking back to catch up with White Mitchell.

“This…” Looking at the bodies in front of her, Sana Robert’s heart was inexplicably filled with fear, but she quickly asked anxiously, “What about my grandfather’s matter…”

“If my big brother agrees to take action, it means he has agreed, go back and wait for the news. Oh, by the way, can you handle these people?” Kylin said, looking back.

Hearing these words, Sana seemed a little stunned, before nodding and again focusing her gaze on the bodies.

“They, have they tracked me all the way to Sayon!?” Sana’s face suddenly darkened, as if facing some enormous pressure.

On the other hand, after catching up with White Mitchell, Kylin also perceptively asked, “Superior, do I need to call Cooper now?”

Upon hearing this, White Mitchell silently nodded.

Soon, the call was connected, and on the other end came Cooper’s voice, weak but excited, “Ky…Kylin, please… does Lord Military Master have any orders? Cough, cough, cough…”

“It is me!” White Mitchell said, expressionless.

At the other end of the call, silence ensued. After a few seconds, accompanied by an even louder bout of coughing, Cooper’s voice rang again.

“Mil…Military Master, it’s you. You called me personally? I… cough cough cough…” It was evident that Cooper was trying his best to control himself, but the severity of his illness was beyond his control.

Upon hearing this, White Mitchell got straight to the point, “Stop struggling, if you’re sick, you need treatment, go to Capital City, have surgery if you need it.

I am fulfilling my promise to your granddaughter, I have delivered the message, what you have to do, you know it inside.”

“This…”

There was silence on the other end of the call again. After a long while, a heavy sigh came, “Ah…I don’t get this silly girl, why is she putting herself in this situation?”

“I do not wish to interfere in your family affairs. If there isn’t anything else, I am hanging up.” White Mitchell continued.

But at that moment, Cooper on the other end of the call suddenly became anxious, hastening to say, “Wait, Lord Military Master, please, listen to what I have to say.”

“Speak!” White Mitchell responded impatiently.

“Yes, yes…” Cooper was genuinely frightened, promptly took a deep breath and continued, “Master, you are unaware, it is not that I do not wish to return for the surgery, it’s just, I can’t have this surgery.

Ever since Sana’s father died for his country, the people of the Robert family have been growing increasingly restless. If it weren’t for me barely holding on, Sana would have probably fallen into their cruel hands long back.

But, for the past few years, my health has been deteriorating year after year. Whether I have this surgery or not won’t make much of a difference to me. At best, I’ll live for another year or so.

I’m not afraid of your anger when I say this. The reason I’ve tried so hard to get close to the White War Department all these years is nothing but an attempt to find a support for Sana before I pass away.

I do not dare to hope that you, Lord Military Master, would shelter us, the Robert Family. I am willing to hand over half of the shares owned by Robert Family to the War Department. I only hope that when Sana is in danger, you would lend her a helping hand, allow her to continue living…”

Upon hearing this, White Mitchell replied indifferently, “I told you, significant one, I do not wish to interfere in your family affairs. But I assure you, if anything happens against the law, White War Department will not tolerate it.”

Having said this, White Mitchell hung up the call, refusing to involve himself any further in the Robert Family’s affairs.

Even an impartial official finds it hard to settle family disputes, let alone these large family grudges?

…

On the other side, the day after White Mitchell dismissed Sana, Jeremiah Weiden, along with the Twelve Flying Tigers and several warriors of the Sayon armed forces, made their grand appearance at the entrance of the Splendid Sayon district.

“Everyone else, step aside! If anyone disobeys, take them all back to the Martial Department!” Jeremiah Weiden shouted angrily. In an instant, all the residents of the neighbourhood closed their doors tightly, not daring to take a peek.

This commotion was not meant to be watched by anyone because, in a blink of an eye, they could lose their lives.

Soon, the entire Splendid Sayon neighbourhood was filled with fear and panic.

After intimidating everyone, the Twelve Flying Tigers next to Jeremiah Weiden arrogantly yelled, “White Mitchell, come out and meet your death!”
