Isabelle and Fire looked shocked and found it hard to believe.

It was as if Elizabeth could sense Fade's anger as she said, "Mr. Chen, please calm down. I did arrange for what happened to Mr. Fire."

"But Miss An getting kidnapped was beyond my expectation. Willie acted on his own. I expected Jose and Ralfdo to find fault with me, but I didn't expect them to do it so violently." "I really didn't think that Miss An would be in danger."

Fade stretched out his right hand, grabbed Elizabeth's neck, and lifted her up. He said coldly, "Do you think I will believe your words now?"

Elizabeth struggled to breathe and her cheeks turned red. She said with difficulty, "Mr. Chen, what I told you is the truth. I did everything to protect myself and the people of Southern Forest." "It was never my intention to harm Mr. Chen and Miss An."

Fade remained unmoved. He tightened his grip and said, "It doesn't matter if it was your intention. Isabelle got hurt because of you."

Fade exerted strength and lifted Elizabeth up. Her face began to turn purple, and her eyes were starting to become white. She couldn't hold on any longer.

At this moment, a deep voice sounded.

"Mr. Chen, I was the one who arranged all this."

"If Mr. Chen wants someone to pay, kill me. Elizabeth didn't have a choice."

Hearing the voice, Fade turned around and saw a burly man walking towards him with steady steps.

The man was none other than Santoso, the king of Southern Forest.

"It was my plan. It has nothing to do with my father. You can kill me, Mr. Chen." Elizabeth struggled to speak.

Fade's expression changed as he looked at the two of them. He relaxed his grip on her neck slightly then said coldly, "How strong is your father daughter love! I want to know the truth." Santoso said, "Mr. Chen, I will tell you the truth about everything, but Elizabeth can't hold on any longer. Please be merciful, Mr. Chen."

"If Mr. Chen still decides to kill us after this, we will be at your disposal."

After thinking for a few seconds, Fade loosened his right hand and Elizabeth fell to the ground.

Then, he said in a serious tone, "Tell me the truth!"

Santoso hurriedly helped his daughter up, then sighed and explained to Fade, "Mr. Chen, I admit that we have had this plan to use you since the beginning."

"Mr. Chen, we sort of intentionally caused the conflict between you, Jose, and Ralfdo so that there would be a dispute between you,

Gregory and Thiono."

Hearing this, Fade's expression turned ugly. Then he thought of something and said, "Is the mutiny last night related to Gregory and Thiono?"

Santoso nodded and said, "Mr. Chen is really smart. They were the ones who started the mutiny last night."

Upon getting this confirmation, Fade was suddenly enlightened and successfully connected the previous clues together. He instantly outlined the development of this matter. "So, you wanted to use me to get rid of your two restless officials."

"Actually, you already knew that they had evil intentions."

"What's more, in the trial a few days ago, you were deliberately partial to me in order to irritate them so that they would lead the mutiny!"

Santoso nodded again. "I can't hide anything from you, Mr. Chen. I did it on purpose." Hearing this, Fade's eyes darkened as he roared, "If this is the truth, I think I have no reason to spare you." en FindNovel

"Mr. Chen is right. I took advantage of you and put Miss An in danger. No matter what my original intention was, this is my fault. I am willing to take responsibility." Santoso said sincerely. Fade's eyes darkened and he said coldly, "Since you're willing to take responsibility, prepare to die!"

As he spoke, Fade's palm surged with positive energy.

Seeing this, Elizabeth became nervous and quickly said, "Mr. Chen, listen to our explanation. I-"

Fade seemed a little impatient and was about to attack.

Elizabeth hurriedly looked at Isabelle for help.

After all, Isabelle was kind. She tugged on Fade's arm and said, "Give them another chance to explain."

"Besides, I feel that Princess

Elizabeth and the others must have their reasons. I wasn't their intention to harm us. Otherwise, Princess Elizabeth wouldn't have exposed the maid and raise our suspicion"

Hearing this, Fade thought of something and placed his hand down.

He looked at the both of them opposite him and said, "I'm also doubtful about what Isabelle has just said."

"If you had hidden the maid, I wouldn't have been suspicious. Why didn't you do that? Did you make a mistake?"

Hearing this, Santoso sighed and looked at his daughter. Then he explained to Fade, "Mr. Chen, actually, this was Elizabeth's decision." "Huh?" Fade frowned.

Santoso continued, "To tell you the truth, my initial plan was to hide everything from you, Mr. Chen. Without realizing, we reached our goal." "But, early this morning, Elizabeth told me that if we really wanted your help and trust, we had to come clean. So she decided to tell you the truth." "Elizabeth was determined. I trusted her, so-"

Fade was taken aback. He turned to look at Elizabeth and said, "Do you know how risky your decision is? If anything went wrong, you could be dead right now." Elizabeth smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Chen, you are our last hope."

"We have no other choice but to gamble on this. After all, the worst outcome is that we die earlier. There is not much difference."

Hearing this, Fade felt a little strange and asked, "The worst outcome? Are you saying that there's more to this?"

Santoso sighed and nodded. "Exactly."

"In fact, I already knew about Gregory and Thiono's plan for a mutiny. If I had been well prepared, I could have overcome it without your help, Mr. Chen."

"However, with everything that's

going on, it was too much for me to

handle can only find a way to end this as soon as possible. I have to stabilize the country and focus on the important matter."

"That's why I tricked you, Mr. Chen."

"Please forgive me!"

Santoso bowed and apologized.

At this moment, Fade no longer paid attention to the so-called apology. He immediately asked, "What is the important matter you mentioned?"
