Isabelle looked at her younger brother who was laughing so confidently.

However, she was not in the mood to smile at all. In fact, she was feeling very worried.

She turned to look at Fade, who was beside her, and happened to meet with Fade's face, which was also slightly frowned. They did not say anything to each other, they just nodded. They both understood what the other was trying to say. Isabelle took a deep breath and said, "Willie, how did you meet Jose? Why is he helping you to attack Yoraland?"

"What is the point of your questions?" Willie asked in reply.

Isabelle looked at her younger brother and said, "Willie, it just seems kind of weird. Jose is the Duke of Pingling. Why would he help some random man off the street? He's going above and beyond for you. Don't you think something is off?" After hearing this, Willie suddenly frowned and said discontentedly, "Are you trying to say that Jose is lying to me? Or that he might have other intentions?"

Isabelle paused for a while and finally nodded. "That's what I think. Otherwise, he would never help a random stranger. Especially not someone from an enemy country." "Isabelle, you're overthinking it. I'm not a random stranger. I am the son of the mighty general of Yoraland. He's helping me because he respects our father's reputation." "What's more, An roe was the one who ruined our family. He is our enemy. The enemy of your enemy is a friend, right? I don't think it's odd for Jose to be good to me at all." Looking at her brother being so emotional, Isabelle quickly comforted him. "Willie, calm down."

"I understand what you're trying to say. However, attacking Yoraland is no small matter. Even the King of Santoso would have to think twice before making such a decision." "It's ridiculous for Jose to claim that he can help you do that."

When he heard this, Willie's expression wavered slightly. But he soon gritted his teeth and said, "If it was anyone else, I would not believe him. However, Jose is no ordinary man. His father, Gregory, is the brother of Santoso. He plays an important role in this country and is the governor"

"Furthermore, both Jose and Santoso have experience fighting at the border of Yoraland."

"If Jose can get his father to send troops, then of course he can attack Yoraland. I don't see what's ridiculous about it."

Willie was speaking passionately. Glancing at him, Isabelle responded slowly, "But, that is a decision that would affect the entire country. Even if Gregory could do that, I doubt he would agree to it so easily."

"Remind me again why you are asking me so many questions," Willie responded annoyedly.

Isabelle quickly toned it down. "Willie, I just think that this whole thing seems a little fishy.

You should be careful."

"Careful with what? You women are just always overthinking. You have no idea how to get things done. Do you not want me to attack Yoraland and kill Anroe? Do you not care about avenging our father?" Willie asked in a displeased tone.

"Of course I want to, but it's not practical. Considering your situation and position, it doesn't seem at all smart to-" Isabelle once again tried to persuade Willie.

But Willie obviously wasn't listening to a thing she was saying. If anything, he was getting more frustrated with her.

He swung his hand and slapped her across the face. With a fierce glare, he shouted, "The truth is finally out. What do you mean by my situation and position?"

"Are you looking down on me? Do you think I'm weak?"

"When Dad was still alive, he was always praising you. He constantly bragged and said that if you were born a boy, you would be the heir to the An family legacy. Now that he's gone, are you trying to usurp my role?"

The more he spoke, the more riled up he was getting. His eyes were red with anger as he stared at Isabelle. His hands reached out to grab her throat.

"Willie, calm down. I didn't mean that." Isabelle tried to explain herself.

However, Willie was too caught up in the moment to listen to her. He continued to draw nearer to Isabelle.

All this time, Fade had been silent at the side. He could not take it anymore. He stood up and returned the slap to Willie. It was so hard that Willie's cheek started to swell and pulsate.

"Y-You dare hit me?!" Willie held onto his cheek and stared with fiery eyes at Fade.

Fade said coldly, "If you touch Isabelle again, I'll do much more than that."

As he spoke, a cold aura emanated from his body over to Willie.

Willie suddenly felt cold all over. He stepped back a few steps and his eyes revealed a look of horror.

"V- You..."

Fade was about to say more, but Isabelle stopped him. She shook her head gently and persuaded Fade to leave.

"Let's go!" Fade took Isabelle's hand and turned away.

Isabelle gave Willie a final reminder. "Willie, calm down. We are doing this for your own good. Take some time to think about it."

After leaving the An Mansion, Isabelle lowered her head and said to Fade, "Mr. Chen, I am so sorry. Willie is just..."

Fade shook his head and said, "You are you, and he is him. You don't need to apologize on his behalf."

"But, after all, he is my younger brother, and he has suffered so much. I..." Isabelle said with worry.

Seeing this, Fade knew that he couldn't change Isabelle's mind for the time being. He could only sigh and say, "Let's go look for Elizabeth and ask her if she knows anything.

Perhaps it will help clarify the situation." "Okay!" Isabelle nodded gently.

While Fade and Isabelle went looking for Elizabeth, Willie was laying in An Mansion. A servant was currently icing his swollen face.

He was still cursing. Obviously, he was still upset over what happened with the two of them earlier.

At this moment, footsteps could be heard. The butler came running in.

"Mr. An, the Duke of Pingling has sent someone over to invite you to have a meal with him."

Hearing this, Willie suddenly had an idea. He got up from the servant's lap. With a shine in his eyes, he asked, "Did he say what for?"

The butler shook his head and said, "No. He just said it's important and that you should go over as soon as you can."

"In that case, we'd better hurry up!" Willie stood up in a hurry. "Go prepare the carriage at once!"

"Yes!" The butler nodded and turned to leave.

A moment later, a well- decorated

and luxurious horse carriage carried

the excited Willie out of the Aned

Mansion and sped toward the Duke of Pingling's mansion.
