Beside them, Liu Rong, unable to contain his anger, kicked Liu Yue in the stomach and snarled, "Did you think you could escape death just by hiding your wife and child? In this entire world, who can protect someone the Prince wants dead?"
At the mention of his wife and child, Liu Yue's expression faltered, but he remained silent.
From the look of it, he seemed to genuinely believe that his new master could protect his family from Xie Jinbai.
Liu Rong was stunned.
As was Xie Jinbai.
'I'm not an arrogant man, but throughout all of Great Yue, who could possibly protect someone I'm determined to kill?'
'Even if I had to dig to the ends of the earth, I could find them.'
'Who could have given Liu Yue such confidence?'
After a moment of contemplation, Xie Jinbai's gaze narrowed. "Are you one of the Empress's people?"
Liu Yue remained silent, his breath coming in ragged gasps. His internal organs were injured, and blood trickled continuously from the corner of his mouth.
